Chapter 220: The First Game Between Father and Son!

"Chaotianque..."

"What a truly grandiose name!"

At the thatched cottage by Wanglin Lake, ever since Gu Nianmo arrived in Beidi, those so-called junior brothers and sisters of Gu Nianmo who had originally guarded this place had all departed; at this moment, only the Heavenly Human Ziwu, the old Dragon King, and Gu Nianmo remained.

And with the continuous spread of the Chaotianque Cultivation Method, which had even proliferated throughout the world in a mere half-month, Gu Nianmo, who already controlled the greater part of Beidi, naturally obtained this technique as well.

It was just that Gu Nianmo had not yet had the time to investigate this technique in detail, merely feeling that some hidden old immortal among the Human Race had stepped out, intending to create a technique to counter the Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Devouring Method.

Therefore, as Gu Nianmo looked at the golden-thread-bound codex in his hands, his mouth held only a sneer of disdain.

One must know that the Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Devouring Method was compiled by Gu Nianmo himself, and it was only after his master, a true existence of the Ascension Realm, revised it that this evil technique was created.

Gu Nianmo would not underestimate the Human Race; after all, in the past 150,000 years, the Human Race had also given birth to countless prodigies.

Among these prodigies, many might have already fallen, but there must still be those who stunned time itself, feigning death and sealing themselves away as the foundation of their race, waiting only to lift their coffins and rise when their race faced catastrophe.

Yet Gu Nianmo would not overrate the human prodigies either; from the Heaven and Earth walking toward the Great Wilderness, and then from the Great Wilderness walking back to the Heaven and Earth, the current Heaven and Earth was, in Gu Nianmo's eyes, nothing more than a pond.

Shallow water does not raise a True Dragon, not to mention that there was still the suppression of the Heavenly Net between Heaven and Earth; even if they were prodigies, in Gu Nianmo's view, their insight was at best equivalent to that of a Supreme existence.

Under such circumstances, how could Gu Nianmo take this Chaotianque to heart?

If it were not for the fact that those Demon Kings who had attained the Dao and emerged from the Northern Border said that this Chaotianque was somewhat strange, and added to the suspicious manner in which this Chaotianque Cultivation Method appeared, this Chaotianque technique would never have fallen into Gu Nianmo's hands.

Gu Nianmo's mouth hung with an indifferent smile, but his hands were honest.

Someone had once told him that if one could see different cultivation methods, then one should see more of them; one method is one Dao, the method is the manifestation of the Dao, and the Dao is the inner essence of the method; if one's vision is lofty, one can even see the Dao from the method.

Gu Nianmo felt that he was still very obedient to that person's words; at the very least, he had been able to walk all the way to the present because that person's words had been helpful.

But as Gu Nianmo opened the Chaotianque in his hands, Gu Nianmo's brows first furrowed.

Looking only at the first three sections of Chaotianque, Gu Nianmo did not see much in this new method; after all, the first three sections of Chaotianque were basically just supplements to the most basic cultivation methods between Heaven and Earth.

As for the reason Gu Nianmo frowned, it was because Gu Nianmo saw the shadow of the Starfire Technique within this Chaotianque technique.

Or rather, the first three sections of this technique were an extension and supplement to the Starfire Technique! As the son, he was naturally no stranger to the Starfire Technique created by that person; he frowned out of confusion, for the Starfire Technique had clearly had its inheritance severed, and even Longhu Mountain likely did not have the final version, so why was there someone who could continue to deduce it?

However, a moment later, Gu Nianmo's brows unfurled.

He had thought of Jiu Jiu, who had appeared in Beidi earlier; if it were the eldest aunt, her understanding of the Starfire Technique would naturally be no less profound than his, and she would have the ability to continue deducing the Starfire Technique.

"Did the eldest aunt notice me earlier?"

"No..."

"If the eldest aunt really noticed me, she would definitely have taken action..." Gu Nianmo still respected the mother of his younger sister, and furthermore, in the last few thousand years of the Heavenly Human Era, the concept of Jiu Jiu being family had almost become a part of his cognition.

He knew that he regarded Jiu Jiu as family, and Jiu Jiu must also regard him as family.

If Jiu Jiu discovered that he was the one doing these things behind the scenes, given Jiu Jiu's personality, if she discovered him, she would never tolerate it, but would strike directly.

Regarding this aunt who had fought with his mother for thousands of years, Gu Nianmo truly understood the other party's temperament.

As Gu Nianmo's brows relaxed, he continued to flip through the Chaotianque technique.

As time passed bit by bit, Gu Nianmo's previously unfurled brows had become solemn, and even heavy, without him realizing it.

When he saw the part about using Merit to nourish the Nine-Turn Golden Core, Gu Nianmo held the Chaotianque and paced incessantly outside the thatched cottage; even at his current level, upon seeing such an ingenious method, Gu Nianmo's heart felt a tremendous shock.

And when Gu Nianmo saw the method for nourishing the Nascent Soul, Gu Nianmo had already stopped his steps unconsciously.

He stood by a willow tree, with Wanglin Lake in front and the thatched cottage behind.

If the conception of the Golden Core Realm in the Chaotianque technique made Gu Nianmo's heart tremble, then the conception of the Nascent Soul Realm made Gu Nianmo's heart sprout a thousand thoughts.

Although he did not know how deep Jiu Jiu's understanding of that person's Dao was, he could still accept the conception of the Golden Core Stage.

However, the conception of the Nascent Soul Realm made Gu Nianmo seven parts certain in his heart that this Chaotianque was absolutely not a technique that his eldest aunt could have written.

The understanding of Merit and Karma within it was a hundred, a thousand times deeper than his! Gu Nianmo could even imagine that once the human experts became familiar with Chaotianque, the demons he had intentionally created would likely become resources that countless practitioners between Heaven and Earth would fight over!

Kill a demon, obtain a spiritual mountain and blessed land, receive the favor of Heaven and Earth, and then have Merit added to one's body.

When demons became resources, even if Gu Nianmo raised more demons, these demons would no longer be able to cause much destruction to Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Gu Nianmo already had a guess in his heart, but this guess was only two or three parts certain; after all, after all, Gu Nianmo had seen that person vanish into thin air before his very eyes back then.

Even Gu Nianmo's master had told him bluntly that an Immortal was not omnipotent; for an existence whose divine soul had shattered and whose Dao imprint had dissipated, even an Immortal could not resurrect the other party.

This was the reason why Gu Nianmo only held two or three parts of hesitation in his heart.

He truly could not believe that that person could still return to the world.

However, when Gu Nianmo opened the description of the Transformation of God Realm in Chaotianque, Gu Nianmo could clearly feel that his heart was thumping violently.

He read it word by word, and his heart also trembled continuously along with the text.

At this moment, even if Gu Nianmo felt it was absurd, he had to admit that his own fantasy-like thought was likely the truth! When Gu Nianmo finished reading the Chaotianque, Gu Nianmo just stood before Wanglin Lake for a long time.

At this moment, Gu Nianmo was extremely certain that that man had returned, and not only had he returned, but he was also preparing to use the world as a chessboard and invite him to play a game!
