Chapter 2793: The I Ching, the Beginning of the Sealing

Another shrill scream echoed through the air. The power of the Ice Lightning dispersed, revealing the ice-fox demon elder, his flesh and blood torn to shreds. Even his soul was shattered and vanished by the crisscrossing bolts of Ice Lightning.
A long-bearded old man in a gray robe, with a square face and holding a three-foot gray whip, strode forward through the air.
“Haha, this old man acted on his own accord. Lu Danwang shouldn't be surprised, right”
"My friend is joking, if you hadn't intervened, I fear this young one would have escaped." The One-Armed man looked at the Elder with a long beard and said, "May I ask your name"
>
“My surname is Gou, and my given name is Qian.” The long-bearded elder stroked his beard and smiled. “Lord Lu Danwang, you’re here most likely for the Jietian Stone, aren’t you”
"As my esteemed friend said, the rumors about the wonders of Jietian Stone are undeniable. I naturally wish to see it with my own eyes."
Duan Bi did not deny this, and at the same time, he was pondering Gou Qian's origins. In this realm, even if there were people, demons, ghosts, and demons standing side by side, true cultivators of the tribulation and great乘 stages were extremely limited. This Gou Qian was unprecedented and unheard of before. He suddenly appeared in the chaotic demon domain and arrived at this Bing Lei wasteland. Being able to get here shows that his understanding of the realm heaven stone is definitely not small.
“The Boundary Heaven Stone is a treasure of heaven and earth, but it’s extremely difficult to find. With the frequent disturbances in the demon realm this time, wouldn't Lu Danwang and the powerful demons be colluding to share such an extraordinary treasure” Gou Qian tentatively asked.
"But everyone takes what they need. I don't know much about the Boundary Heaven Stone, so naturally, I need to rely on some external help." The Broken-Armed man questioned, "As for Daoist Gou suddenly appearing and helping me kill that Ice Lynx brat, I wonder what your intentions are"
Gou Qian said, "Naturally, I also want to see the wonders of the Heavenly Stone. However, this place is mysterious and unpredictable, and my own strength alone may be insufficient. As for the powerful cultivators of the demon clan, I can't trust them. After much deliberation, it seems that joining hands with Lu Danwang is relatively more stable."
"Well then, let us join forces to uncover the secrets of this Heavenly Stone." The one-armed man said, even if he didn't cooperate with the other party, Gou Qian wouldn't leave just like that. Even though the other party's origins were unknown, it wouldn't affect them utilizing each other for their own benefit.
“Very good, the deeper we go, the more ferocious this power of ice thunder becomes. Even I, alone, wouldn't dare to venture in lightly. Now with Lord Lu Dan’s help, we can enter and see for ourselves.” Gou Qian laughed aloud.
"Then let's go in and have a look." The armless man gestured towards the void with his remaining hand, causing the surrounding formless flames to surge. The icy power before them was directly cleaved open by this arm. "For safety's sake, let's keep a certain distance between us, so we can watch each other's backs."
"Very good," Gou Qian nodded, and the severed arm had already plunged into the passage before him.
During the forward march, with a wave of his severed hand, an amber orb wrapped in a sound transmission note rolled out from the Wu Xiang Xuan Fire. The amber orb, unhindered, plunged directly into the ice mist beneath his feet, effortlessly permeating the ice layer and freezing within it as if it had always existed there, its breath seamlessly merging with that of the ice.

Soon after the amputation, a long-bearded old man hurried past this place without noticing anything unusual.
Two people took turns walking, along the way they killed several creatures similar to the Ice Lynx Old Demon. Although they did not learn about the Boundary Heaven Stone from the mouths of these creatures, they discovered five places similar to ice ponds and ice bamboo forests through their joint efforts with Gou Qian after exploring them.
And these seemingly independent spaces are secretly connected. Duanbi pondered the connections between them in his mind, and they unexpectedly formed a huge Bagua diagram. Although he hadn't personally visited the locations of two individuals yet, Duanbi could still calculate their approximate positions at this time.
"Fellow cultivator, do you know a human Mahayana cultivator named Gou Qian" The one-armed man exploring the maze thought of the magic pearl that housed the Heavenly Demon Lord still in his hand.
“A Great Ascension cultivator from the Human Race I haven't heard of him. Could it be that he has also come to inquire about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Stone” The Heavenly Demon Monarch exclaimed in surprise, racking his brains, but he couldn’t remember anyone named Gou Qian.
At this moment, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Lord asked about Gou Qian's appearance, the magic treasures he used, and the characteristics of his energy when fighting. "It's strange, a powerful Nascent Soul old monster with strength comparable to Lu Dan Wang, I shouldn't have no impression at all."
"Perhaps it's a reclusive monk." The one-armed man said.
“It’s possible, but this world seems quite large. However, for Mahayana cultivators and tribulation period old monsters, the circle is actually quite small. Throughout history, there have been hidden strong individuals, but the probability of such a thing is extremely low. True powerhouses are all those who have fought their way through hardships and dangers to achieve their status. There should be some trace of their growth path. It’s not right that there is no trace at all.”
“There are no flaws showing now, but they will eventually be revealed.” Duan Bi felt a chill in his heart. He had become even more serious about this unknown Gou Qian. Of course, he wasn't afraid of Gou Qian; besides, there was also the Lotus avatar following him along the clues he left behind. If Gou Qian didn't cause trouble, it would be fine, but if he had any bad intentions, Duan Bi wouldn't want to get into unnecessary conflict, but he wouldn't be afraid to fight him either.
Then, Duan Bi again explained to Gou Qian the general outlines of the spirit realms and several secret realms in this Bagua formation.

“The gossip celestial pattern, the beginning of sealing the realm! Indeed, this is where the Realm Heavenly Stone is sealed!” The words came out of the Tongtian Demon Monarch’s mouth with intense excitement.
"The beginning of the seal" Broken Arm tasted the words, and suddenly he caught a whiff of demonic blood.
Even the Oceanic whitetip shark came here, and it was even injured.
"Lu Danwang, it seems that besides us, there are other people who have arrived here." Gou Qian's voice came from afar.
Each person does their own thing, without interfering with others. Gou Qian's origins are unknown, his intentions unclear. Even though he lost an arm, he didn't want to fight You Tian Kun again, and the four-eyed Golden Hawk began to clash with him. Although both sides have temporarily stopped fighting and launched their forces to find the Jietian Stone, this simple alliance is not very reliable. Both sides have mainly only reached a truce agreement outside, putting all their energy into finding the Jietian Stone. As for who will ultimately find it and get how much benefit, each depends on their own skills, and life and death are determined by fate.
"Alright, for now I'll listen to Lu Dan Wang, but if there are any future disputes over interests, this old man will not yield."
Gou Qian smiled wryly, seeming not to be a pleasant person to get along with.
"If there's a dispute over interests, I naturally wouldn't stop Gou Dao-you." Duanbi couldn't help but say. He secretly pondered the matter of the gossip secret realm. Although his main body wasn't here, Duanbi also had several deputy avatars present at this time. His deduction ability was inferior to his main body, but he had a considerable understanding of formations. He vaguely felt that this gossip secret realm wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.jured repeatedly, and the power of the Golden Spine Bear's head monster beast was gradually waning, these combined old demons could now deploy more manpower.However, these old demons were also worried...
