Chapter 75: Surprising the Immortal with One Finger

  Gu Cangqiong said this, and many people wanted to refute him. However, after opening their mouths, they found that every sentence Gu Cangqiong said was a fact, leaving them with nothing to say in rebuttal.

  Gu Cang Yue was the same, his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. He started cultivating at 8 years old and entered the Seventh Layer of the Pre-Heaven Realm at 40 years old, taking 32 years. Gu Cang Tian, on the other hand, only started cultivating at 20 years old, severely missing the best period for cultivation, yet he still managed to enter the Seventh Layer of the Pre-Heaven Realm in just 15 years.

  In comparison, Gu Cang Yue... isn't anything!

  "Hmph..." Gu Cang Yue snorted in anger, he would never admit that he was inferior to Gu Cang Kong. The Drinking Jade Sword's aura surged, and he said: "I'd like to see your true strength, whether it's as formidable as you claim."

  Gu Cang Yue has been in the Pre-Heaven Realm for seven layers for four years, and has already consolidated his cultivation in the seventh layer. He has also cultivated to the peak of the Pre-Heaven Realm's seventh layer. Gu Cang Qing is only at the beginning of the Pre-Heaven Realm's seventh layer. Although they are both in the same realm, there is still a difference in their strength. Defeating Gu Cang Qing should not be difficult.

  Thinking of this, Gu Cangyue's confidence suddenly recovered a lot, and he took a step forward, his momentum soaring to the sky, facing Gu Cangtian without falling behind.

  Ancient Azure Sky flipped his palm, and a pair of golden gloves appeared in his hand. Immediately afterwards, Ancient Azure Sky put on the golden gloves.

  "Mid-grade artifact?" Including Gu Cang Yue, everyone was shocked. The artifact in Gu Cang Tuo's hand wasn't even from the Gu family. The Gu family only had five mid-grade artifacts: one for the patriarch, one for each of the three great elders, and one for Gu Cang Yue. The artifact Gu Cang Tuo had been given was just a low-grade artifact.

  Unconsciously, some people shifted their gaze to Gu Chen below the stage, because Gu Chen also had a mid-grade artifact in his hand, which he had taken out during last year's clan trial. However, this year's clan trial was unknown for some reason, and only took out a low-grade artifact, Xuanbing Sword, but with his innate fourth-layer cultivation, he easily won first place in the clan.

  Facing the gaze of the crowd, Gu Chen maintained a smile, as if he didn't see anything.

  The ancient cyan sky had a manual instrument, which was naturally given by the ancient dawn. It was called the Golden Silkworm Hand Guard, one of the five middle-grade instruments brought out from the Huáng Tiān Dòng Fǔ by the ancient dawn. The ancient dawn practiced the pre-heavenly boundary superior sword technique and always used the Qing Lí Sword, so he gave the Golden Silkworm Hand Guard to his father.

  Gǔ Cāng Qiú also practiced Tiān Gǎ Quàn Tǐ Dà Fǎ and had already reached the third level, his physical body was extremely strong. For half a year, Gǔ Chén had been at home, teaching his father an advanced finger technique, combined with Gǔ Cāng Qiú's cultivation method, which was also Pán Shí Yìn, this Golden Silkworm Hand Guard was indeed practical for him.

  Gu Cang Yue let out a light laugh, in his view, although Gu Cang Tong's glove was also a mid-grade artifact, his Yuanyu sword had the upper hand. The Yuanyu sword was an attacking artifact with powerful attacking power, while gloves were semi-attacking and semi-defending artifacts. In terms of defense, they couldn't compare to full-defense artifacts. Full-defense artifacts could defend the entire body, while glove-type artifacts could only defend both hands.

  In terms of attacking power, it is inferior to the full-attack method of Faqi, such as knife and sword-type Faqi. The innate true energy is poured in, and the power can be increased several times. For example, a punch may only produce a fist aura that is one or two feet long, while using a knife or sword-type Faqi can produce a knife aura or sword aura that is over ten feet long.

  Glove-type magic tool, taking a middle-of-the-road approach, half offense and half defense. The greatest effect is flexibility. Only a cultivator with strong personal power can bring out its effect.

  In Gu Cang Yue's view, Gu Cang Qiong had just entered the Seventh Layer of the Pre-Heaven Realm and was still inferior to him in terms of strength. Using a glove-type artifact, he fought against his Drinking Jade Knife, naturally at a disadvantage.

  Many people share the same view as Gu Cangyue, and the two elders also secretly rejoice in their hearts. They think that even if Gu Cangyun has already reached the seventh layer of Xiantian cultivation, he has now reached the point where he will be defeated by Gu Cangyue on the martial arena, and as long as he loses to Gu Cangyue, he will lose his qualification to inherit the position of tribe leader.

  The head of the ancient family cannot be passed on to a failure.

  The two of them looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

  Gu Xian furrowed his brow, only then remembering that Gu Cangyun didn't have a good magical artifact on hand. However, his Yin Yang Split Heaven Sword was the symbol of the clan leader's authority. When Gu Chen represented the Gu family in a trial against Liu Baisheng, he could take it out. But now, this was a competition for the position of clan leader, so naturally he couldn't just give away the artifact that represented the clan leader's authority to someone.

  Gu Xian was just about to speak and borrow his magic weapon from San Zhang Lao when a fight broke out on the arena.

  Only to see the ancient blue sky's footwork changing, the pre-heavenly true energy wildly surging out of his palms, forming a boulder-seal palm print. Suddenly, with a slap of his palm, a palm seal shot out from the ancient blue sky, instantly transforming into a size of over ten feet, like a wall, and slapped towards the ancient blue peak.

  Seal of Pinnacle Rock...

  It was the ordinary gong method of the ancient family, but looking at the palm print in the air that was as big as a wall, everyone was shocked and stared with wide eyes. They saw for the first time that the Rock Seal could actually achieve such power?

  A palm of over ten feet in size, this one palm, if hit, a house would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

  When Gu Cang Hai was killing Gu Chen, he also used the Pangu Seal to slap Xiao Bai with a palm that was only three feet in size. The power of this palm is unknown compared to Gu Cang Tian's current palm.

  Ancient Azure Sky had Golden Silkworm Hand Guards on his hands, even with empty-handed palm strikes, he could produce six or seven feet large palm auras. The Innate True Energy passing through the Golden Silkworm Hand Guards increased its power by more than double.

  That palm print, with golden light flashing, incomparably dazzling, went straight to hit Mount Taihang.

  For the masses, an unparalleled palm, in the eyes of Gu Cangyue, who was also at the seventh layer of the Innate Realm, it was only surprising, without shock. For the masses, this palm strike was unstoppable, but for Gu Cangyue, it was just a palm strike from a seventh-layer Innate Realm cultivator.

  Gu Cang Yue's legs didn't move, his hands grasped the Yuanyu sword, and with a swift chop, he countered the incoming palm strike. In an instant, the Yuanyu sword radiance burst forth, transforming into a 7-8 zhang long sword aura that fiercely slashed down towards the palm strike.

  That one palm print was as thick and heavy as a wall, but it was split in two by the seven or eight zhang long knife print.

  The ancient blue sky palm print changed again, and another palm seal slapped over. The ancient blue peak let out a cold snort, and the knife seal chopped through, chopping the palm seal into powder.

  Ancient Azure Sky slapped out palm after palm, each one over a zhang in size, ceaselessly slapping them onto Ancient Azure Peak's body, but they were all shattered by Ancient Azure Peak with the Drunken Jade Sword.

  Suddenly, the ancient blue sky's two palms split apart, forming a seal with joined palms, and simultaneously slapped out two palm prints, one left and one right. They transformed into two gigantic palms that struck the ancient blue peak together.

  Watching the two palm prints arrive together, Gu Cang Yue's face also revealed a hint of solemnity. At the same time, however, it was disdainful. He saw his body turn, and the Jade Drinking Knife slashed horizontally, its momentum like breaking bamboo. The two palm prints were cut off simultaneously.

  With a horizontal slash of his sword, Gu Cang Yue's momentum didn't stop. He no longer waited for Gu Cang Tong to attack and instead kicked off the ground with both legs, charging towards Gu Cang Tong at high speed. The Drunken Jade Sword in his hand chopped out several consecutive slashes, dispersing each of Gu Cang Tong's palm strikes one by one.

  The Great Elder and the Second Elder's faces all showed joy, the ancient cyan sky's stone seal posed no threat to Gu Cang Yue. They just waited for Gu Cang Yue to get closer, under the continuous slashing of the Dao Dao knife halo, relying on a pair of golden silkworm hand guards, it was unstoppable.

  The Great Elder and the Second Elder both smiled, the two on the stage were both at the seventh level of Xiantian cultivation. At this moment, all the people in the ancient family were watching this duel, everyone knew that this was a duel for the next Patriarch, under the gaze of the crowd, whoever lost would lose their qualification to inherit the Patriarch's position.

  "After all, he has just entered the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm and is no match for Cang Yue..." The Great Elder thought to himself with a smile on his face.

  Gu Xian and San Zhang Lao were secretly worried, unaware of what Gu Cang Yue was relying on to block Gu Cang Yue's Yu Jian Dao.

  Gu Chen also laughed, laughing very happily. He knew that the closer Gu Cang Yue was to his father, the closer he was to failure.

  The farther away from the ancient blue sky, the smaller the power of the palm print. The ancient blue peak can stand several feet away and easily break the palm print with a knife, but the closer to the ancient blue sky, the stronger the actual strength of the palm print.

  Of course, relying on the seal of the rock, Gu Cangyun cannot easily defeat Gu Cangyue.

  However, Gu Chen also taught his father a set of superior finger techniques, which were far beyond the inferior methods of Pan Shi Yin.

  Gǔ Cāng Yuè's face was filled with joy, and he had already approached Gǔ Cāng Qióng to within a zhang. Despite his fierce attack, Gǔ Cāng Qióng didn't retreat a single step. If he could just get one step closer, his Yǐn Yù Dāo would be able to directly strike Gǔ Cāng Qióng's body.

  He didn't believe that a mid-grade artifact gauntlet could go head-to-head with his Drinking Jade Sword.

  He chopped with his knife like rain, and the ancient blue dome produced one after another of rock prints, all of which were cut to pieces by his knife. Again, two consecutive knives cut through two palm prints, and Gu Cangyue took another step forward.

  That's close enough...

  "Take one sword..." Gu Cang Yue let out a loud roar, the Drinking Jade Sword burst out with nearly ten zhang of sword energy, the illusory sword aura transformed into a sword that was tens of zhang long, and it shot straight towards Yun Xiao.

  Then, this earth-shattering and soul-stirring slash, as swift as lightning, chopped down towards Gu Cangyun.

  The Great Elder and the Second Elder couldn't help but burst out laughing, such a knife strike, if it weren't for the defense of a mid-grade or higher artifact, would be absolutely unstoppable. The members of the ancient Gu family, all showed excited expressions, this one knife strike was enough to defeat Gu Cangyun...

  Gu Xian and San Changlao furrowed their brows, while Gu Cangqiu also secretly sighed...

  Gu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing at this moment, Gu Cang Yue... lost.

  "Jīng xiān yī zhǐ..." The ancient Qingyun lightly spat out four words, but they clearly appeared in the ears of everyone present.

  Only to see the ancient blue sky's right foot retreat half a step, then kick the stage with one foot. In an instant, the entire stage cracked layer by layer, and the pre-heavenly true energy surged into his right arm from all over his body.

  Gu Zhen raised his right arm, and his index finger pointed forward as the innate true energy poured into his finger. Suddenly, Gu Cang's index finger emitted a dazzling light, which landed on the Yu Jade knife that Gu Cang Yue had chopped down.

  That finger's radiance was like a red sun in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at it. Everyone suddenly felt a stinging sensation in their eyes and instinctively closed them.

  "Ding......" A crisp sound rang out.
