For five hundred years, I have been bound in this forbidden land, and yet here you are, dear Independent Cultivator, shedding tears for what reason?

Summary

In Yunxiao City, the independent cultivators are in awe of Gu Xiu, who has advanced to the late stage of the Golden Core, showcasing immense power and unparalleled Dao patterns. As discussions unfold, some feel invigorated while others despair. Shang Guan Yu, leader of the floating pagoda army, becomes increasingly anxious as Gu Xiu's prominence grows. He commands his troops to attack Gu Xiu, unwilling to become a stepping stone for him. During the battle, a Blood Armor General from the Golden Feather Divine Dynasty hurls a spear at Gu Xiu, but an old drunkard appears and blocks the attack with a wine gourd. The old man, despite his disheveled appearance, reveals formidable power, surprising everyone. As the Blood Armor General confronts him, the old drunkard begins to act erratically, creating a powerful sound that disrupts the spiritual energy of the surrounding cultivators. Gu Xiu recognizes that the old man is manipulating the Dao rhyme directly, showcasing a deep understanding of the heavenly rhythms. When the Blood Armor General attacks again, the old drunkard seems to clumsily dodge but instead ensnares the general in a net formed from the world's essence, rendering the attack harmless. The chapter concludes with the old man successfully neutralizing the threat.
