Chapter 153: Chapter 122: The Family Heirloom Innate Divine Beast

"How am I in danger?"

Gu Wen retorted. The current situation was indeed not good, probably with countless great powers besieging Heavenly Spring Mountain inside and out.

And since they dared to do so, they must have made adequate preparations, at least enough to pose a threat to Yu Hua.

But he hadn’t mentioned this to others. How then did Jun Yan know?

"I won’t repeat everything about the Immortality Pill and Qingcang Immortal. Do you know how many sects under the heavens don’t want to see you find the Immortality Pill?"

Jun Yan didn’t wait for Gu Wen to answer, answering his own question, "All of them, including the sects of everyone present, hope that Qingcang Immortal does not return."

Gu Wen asked, "Even Sword Control Sect and Broken Sword Mountain?"

The relationship between Sanqing Taoist Sect and Sword Control Sect should be good. You could tell from Chi Yu Zi’s protector intervening to help Ao Tang, but perhaps that was just a personal relationship.

"Sword Control Sect naturally wants the Immortality Pill."

As Chi Yu Zi came from a distance without needing Xiao Yunyi to answer, she took his place, "Broken Sword Mountain is no exception. Every Heavenly Venerable desires the Immortality Pill to become an immortal. We are just successors and do not represent the sect."

Xiao Yunyi did not deny, although this somewhat tarnished Broken Sword Mountains’ reputation, what Chi Yu Zi said was indeed true.

Gu Wen gained a further understanding of the situation but wasn’t too surprised. Having the entire world as an enemy was his initial expectation.

However, recently things had been calm, allowing him to harbor some fantasies; perhaps the situation wasn’t that bad. Maybe, as the top sect under the heavens, Sanqing Taoist Sect could play a certain deterrent role.

However, the Immortality Pill drove people mad, the closer one was to becoming an immortal, the harder it was to resist.

Even Gu Wen was attracted by the prospect of extending his Heavenly Marrow lifespan by a hundred years; he was desperate to find the Immortality Pill soon. A tiny root as thin as a hair possessed such an effect; perhaps one as thick as his finger could satisfy his needs to become an immortal.

The Dao Realm Heavenly Venerables were closest to becoming immortals and were the absolute rulers of the sects; all sects targeting him was understandable.

Gu Wen said, "I know all this, so what help are you talking about?"

"We can talk about the reward first, which will make it easier for you to decide."

Jun Yan didn’t follow Gu Wen’s words, his eyes showing shrewdness, making him feel like he was back at Dragon Bridge facing those major merchants.

Gu Wen asked, "What benefits do you want?"

"First, I need you to strike me once every seven days with the Immortal Sword."

Excitement flickered in Jun Yan’s eyes, causing Gu Wen to involuntarily take a half step back, then nodding, "That can be arranged."

It wasn’t a too excessive request, just consuming some mana in exchange for a robust ally. But the reddish cheeks and excited eyes of Jun Yan gave an unsettling guess.

Jun Yan likely didn’t have a masochistic tendency; all this was to suppress the great demons within him.

"Secondly, I need you to enter my body in the form of a Primordial Spirit and help me kill some great demons."

Before Gu Wen could answer, Chi Yu Zi interrupted, "Don’t agree to it. Entering his body as a Primordial Spirit is no different than swimming in a cesspool."

"Chi Yu Zi, if you don’t speak, no one will think you’re a dead nun."

"Granny can chop you just like Jade Sword Buddha."

At that moment, Gu Wen made a decision, shaking his head, "The risk is too great."

Jun Yan didn’t show any emotional fluctuation due to the refusal, as if expecting it, "This isn’t mandatory. If you think my role is significant and you are grateful, you can fulfill it later."

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch."

Gu Wen didn’t agree right away. He felt that Jun Yan was perhaps too crafty and might not be easy to control.

Jun Yan smiled, "The best help deserves the highest price. If you can afford this price, I will consider you a brother from different parents."

"But I don’t like being a junior."

"The strong are elder brothers, but that’s just a metaphor."

Gu Wen pondered for a moment, not too worried, and agreed, "That can be done."

He knew things wouldn’t be too simple, but like Gu Wen constantly dealing with debts of gratitude, these were bonds with no redemption date. If Gu Wen failed in the future, he wouldn’t need to redeem them; on the contrary, if he became an immortal, redemption would be easy.

Ignoring somewhat perturbed Chi Yu Zi, Jun Yan generously stated, "You needn’t be too wary of me. As long as I still need to be controlled by the old fellows inside me, I will always need your True Sword Dao."

"You were doing just fine without the True Sword Dao before."

Gu Wen considered this, but didn’t fully trust it.

"Alright, tell me how you can help me."

"I can explore with Divine Thought for a thousand feet, and even Dao Realm experts would be hard to detect."

Upon hearing this, both Gu Wen and Chi Yu Zi were stunned, then simultaneously showed a look of astonishment.

Divine Thought exploration was a common technique among cultivators, essentially the true eyes of the cultivators. Due to its wide application, many countermeasures had evolved.

For instance, detecting Divine Thought is one of the basic skills of a cultivator. It’s difficult for experts of the same level to hide from each other, and even a Golden Core has a hard time seamlessly examining someone at the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Divine Thought is deployed, sometimes it’s like banging gongs and drums.

Conversely, being able to do it silently was terrifyingly effective when used properly.

A thousand feet meant Jun Yan could provide all the strong enemy information around them, and they wouldn’t even be detected. This was essentially an all-encompassing enemy radar, making ambushes against them virtually impossible.
