"Sect Master, but..." Guan Ye still wanted to say something, but Jiang Yuyang waved his hand, making him swallow the rest of his words.
"As Gu Yuan's seniors, you should respect Gu Yuan's choice, shouldn't you?"
After Jiang Yuyang finished speaking, his body flickered, and he disappeared from the great hall, leaving no trace.
Gu Yuan looked at Guan Ye and Cui Hua. The expressions on their faces were clearly not good. After all, they were sincerely considering Gu Yuan's well-being, but Gu Yuan had his own ideas, and they couldn't force them upon him.
Guan Ye forced a smile, "Gu Yuan, since you choose to transform through blood and fire, then the two of us will give you special training these past few days and impart all of our lifelong accumulated knowledge to you."
Gu Yuan nodded, indicating that he would work hard.
"Thank you for the suggestion from both captains. Gu Yuan remembers your kindness and will not forget it. I will also not fail your expectations. I will work hard, strive to exterminate demons and monsters, and restore a bright and clear world for our Great Gan people!"
Cui Hua patted Gu Yuan's shoulder, a smile on his face. He extended his right thumb, "Gu Yuan, you're a true man, and I, old Cui, support you. These few days, I will tell you all the methods in the Demon Suppressing Division that can accelerate the compression of blood energy, so that your efficiency in compressing blood energy can be further improved."
Looking at the two who were sincerely considering him, Gu Yuan was deeply moved. It reminded him of Old Wang from the Azure World. He wondered how Old Wang's injuries were.
He hadn't forgotten that another purpose of coming to the Myriad Spirit Continent was to find spiritual medicine that could heal Old Wang's injuries. This required him to become the strongest on the Myriad Spirit Continent and mobilize the entire human race to search.
He hoped Old Wang could hold on a little longer.
The two people in front of him treated him similarly to how Old Wang had treated him before he left to take him as a disciple.
Gu Yuan believed that cultivation was not about eradicating all of one's emotions. For humans, the seven emotions and six desires were the most basic. This was a truth Gu Yuan had always adhered to. If one cultivated to the end and lost all human emotions, would they still be considered human?
What was the difference from the Heavenly Dao? Whether in the Azure World or the Myriad Spirit Continent, Gu Yuan knew of cultivation techniques that completely severed human emotions.
Although such cultivation methods were very fast in the early stages, and those who completed them were powerful in their respective realms, few could defeat them.
Gu Yuan felt that things like "killing his wife to achieve enlightenment" had already lost their humanity. Even when one's power was like that of gods and demons, they needed to retain their unique human emotions.
In Gu Yuan's understanding, this was a kind of anchor, an anchor that stabilized one's true self.
If humanity disappeared, then the human true self would also disappear. It would no longer be him, but another him.
The path Gu Yuan was taking was to gather countless parallel selves. When Gu Yuan could gather countless parallel selves, he would become the innate god and demon he aspired to be.
Countless true selves unified, achieving a single self!
This was Gu Yuan's path, and it was also the path chosen by most beings in the myriad worlds.
Practices like "killing one's wife to achieve enlightenment" were another path. Gu Yuan also knew of a very powerful method of achieving enlightenment from the inheritance of the Myriad Worlds Martial Ancestor.
It was to kill all the true selves from countless worlds, and the one remaining would be the self. As long as the accumulation was sufficient, one could naturally achieve innate godhood.
Gu Yuan did not comment on this method of enlightenment, as every path had its own meaning. This was not his path, and he would never act like this in the future.
However, the innate gods and demons produced by this method of enlightenment were extremely powerful.
This was because they killed and devoured their true selves, transforming their accumulations into the foundation of their own self.
But there was a danger: the true self might be killed and devoured by another true self. In such a case, it would be uncertain which one was the true self.
The method Gu Yuan chose, to gather all his true selves, greatly increased safety, eliminating the worry of losing himself.
It was also the path chosen by most beings in the myriad worlds, solely for its safety.
Snapping back to reality, Gu Yuan was startled to see two large faces appearing before him.
"What are you doing? You scared me to death!" Gu Yuan jumped back abruptly, creating some distance between them, and looked at Guan Ye and Cui Hua speechlessly.
"We wanted to see what was wrong with you, hahaha."
Guan Ye laughed heartily. After this incident, the awkwardness between the three had completely dissipated.
"Let's go to the training ground. Starting today, Guan Ye and I will train you. You'd better be prepared," Cui Hua said with a grin. He loved training people the most.
Gu Yuan immediately became serious, "Mission guaranteed to be completed!"
"Hahaha, come on, let me see your level."
Gu Yuan and Guan Ye left the Great Hall of the Demon Suppressing Division with their arms around each other's shoulders.
After this incident, the relationship between the three seemed to have become even closer.
They arrived at the training ground together. Guan Ye and Cui Hua stood side by side, with Gu Yuan standing tall and straight in front of them.
"Cough, cough, Gu Yuan, the two of us have just requested leave from Sect Master Jiang. We will be specially training you these few days so that you can learn all the methods of a Demon Suppressing Envoy. You just comprehended the compression of blood energy yesterday. We discussed it, and you should not try to increase your blood energy these days. Focus on completing the compression of your entire body's blood energy first."
"The blood energy you increase later will all be compressed, which will save a lot of time. What do you think?"
After speaking, Guan Ye awaited Gu Yuan's reply.
"Captain Guan, I was thinking the same thing last night. I was planning to take a leave of absence these few days to compress all my blood energy. After compressing it, I will go on missions." Gu Yuan answered truthfully about his thoughts. He intended to take leave to compress all his blood energy, after which he would have greater strength when undertaking missions.
This would increase his chances of completing his missions.
"Very good, your idea is very steady. You should indeed do this. After all, with your talent, you should proceed steadily and not be too hasty. We can still protect you young people as you grow."
Guan Ye nodded in agreement when he heard Gu Yuan's words. Gu Yuan's talent was not suited for aggressive advancement; steady progress was best.
"Alright, let me tell you about your upcoming arrangements. Listen carefully." Guan Ye began to outline his plan for Gu Yuan. "Next, the two of us, I will be responsible for teaching you some martial arts techniques of a Demon Suppressing Envoy, as well as some experience we have accumulated from the first generation of Demon Suppressing Envoys."
