Gu Xuan wanted to continue scolding the Daoist in his twilight years.
However, he did not scold the Daoist in the end.
Treating the First Elder, who was the leader of the Ten Elders of Daoism, like a fool was already not giving him any face.
The Great Elder finally became smart for once. If he continued to treat him like a fool, he would be looking down on him.
"What do you think I'm trying to do, Great Elder?"
Gu Xuan did not answer the Daoist in his twilight years. Instead, he asked him with a smile.
"Since you're tempering your body, could it be that your body tempering technique has reached a bottleneck and you're trying to break through it?"
The Daoist in his twilight years frowned and tried to answer.
Gu Xuan put his hands behind his back and shook his head.
"If my Body Refining Technique has really reached a bottleneck, then how could the strength of my body become stronger and stronger as the First Elder guessed?"
"Since you're not at a bottleneck, I can't guess it."
The Daoist in his twilight years sighed. Even he did not believe his guess.
Even if Gu Xuan had really reached a bottleneck, it was probably not because of his body tempering technique.
In fact, the Daoist in his twilight years had another guess.
However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He was also unwilling to say it out loud.
That was because the Daoist in his twilight years guessed Gu Xuan. It was a terrifying thing, but at the same time, it was a ridiculous thing.
Therefore, the Daoist in his twilight years tried his best to deny his guess.
Gu Xuan curled his lips into a faint smile.
"I'm afraid the Great Elder has already guessed it. It's just that you don't want to believe it and you don't dare to believe it. That's because even you wouldn't take this path.
I'm an Elixir Emperor. I'm much more talented and lucky than you. I'm going to take the path that you don't want to take.
Therefore, I'm afraid you have more doubts in your heart, right? "
Gu Xuan had a look of foresight as he spoke frankly with assurance.
The Daoist in his twilight years was shocked. Although both of them did not say what Gu Xuan was doing, there was no need to say it out loud.
The shock on the Daoist in his twilight years disappeared quickly and was replaced by a look of mockery.
This mocking expression remained on the old daoist's face for an unknown amount of time. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise as he began to laugh.
The dying Daoist laughed unscrupulously. He laughed so hard that he couldn't stand straight. He laughed so hard that he held his stomach.
It was as if this was the funniest thing in the world.
Gu Xuan also wore a smile on his face.
"How is it? Don't you think it's funny? "
The dying Daoist shook his head.
"No, haha, it's not funny. I should say that it's pathetic, haha … "
The dying Daoist laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out of his eyes. He laughed so hard that countless flaws appeared on his body.
However, Gu Xuan did not move at all. He stood below and did not have the slightest intention of launching a sneak attack.
Nobody knew how long he had been laughing. Then, Sunset Daoist finally straightened his back. He pointed at Gu Xuan. Then, he revealed an expression of disappointment on his face.
"Pill Emperor Gu Xuan, to think that our Dao Gate considered you a great enemy. Who would have thought that you would be so depraved, not wanting to become a half-saint or a secondary saint. Instead, you want to become a True Emperor!
If I wanted to become a True Emperor, I would have done so many tens of thousands of years ago! Why wait until now?
Do you know the difference between a True Emperor and a True Saint?
Ten True Emperors might not be a match for one True Saint!
If we knew that you would choose to become a True Emperor, why would we consider you a great enemy? Even Ancestor Yue is a greater threat than you!
Even your disciple Li Xieyun and Fairy Fei Hong from Vermillion Bird Immortal Sect are greater threats than you! "
The dying Daoist was practically cursing Gu Xuan.
Didn't he work so hard just to kill a genius?
Only the heavens knew how this genius turned into a fool all of a sudden.
There were many realms for cultivators. After reaching the peak of the Grand Emperor realm, there were two paths to choose from.
One was to become a half-saint and comprehend the power of laws to become a True Saint.
The other was to refine one's own power to become a half-step True Emperor before ascending to the True Emperor realm.
The True Emperor realm was also known as the Grand Emperor realm. In other words, only True Emperors were true Grand Emperors.
Ordinary cultivators didn't know about this path at all. That's why one-star emperors called themselves Grand Emperors.
In fact, this was a sign of ignorance in the eyes of many True Saints.
One-star emperors and even peak emperors were only Minor Emperors.
Only True Emperors were considered Grand Emperors in the truest sense.
Of course, even the most knowledgeable cultivators wouldn't consider it after knowing that there was a way to ascend to the True Emperor realm.
True Emperors and Saints were both major realms after reaching the peak of the Grand Emperor realm. However, there was a world of difference in terms of battle prowess and future development.
The reason why Gu Xuan knew about this method of advancement was because he had heard about it from the spirit of the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion, Envoy Qing Feng.
However, Envoy Qing Feng's strength wasn't high and his knowledge was limited. His description of the True Emperor Realm could only be considered as a smattering.
Gu Xuan only realized how suitable this path was for him after coming in contact with the True Emperor realm.
He had hesitated before.
After all, if he could become a Saint by comprehending the rules, then with his talent, his combat strength would reach an unimaginable level.
Unfortunately, time waited for no one.
If the Dao Gate came a few years later, Gu Xuan was confident that he could become an unbeatable Saint.
However, the battle between him and the Dao Gate came too early.
If he didn't embark on the path of becoming a True Emperor, he wouldn't be able to leave this palace.
Of course, the dying daoist believed that Gu Xuan chose to be sucked into the palace.
Only Gu Xuan himself knew that he had no other choice.
Gu Xuan could've avoided the palace but what about the others?
What if the palace's target wasn't Gu Xuan, but Li Xieyun, Mo Jingyun, or the elven emperor?
If any of them were sucked into the Forbidden Spell Battle Palace, they would only end up dead.
Gu Xuan didn't want to see this happen.
Only by being sucked in would he have a chance to survive!
Gu Xuan knew that it wasn't his choice to embark on the path of becoming a True Emperor. It was more accurate to say that he had no other choice.
This was the best way to force someone to do it.
From the moment the palace appeared, Gu Xuan knew that he was set on the path to becoming a True Emperor.
However, he didn't feel disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was excited.
