Gu Qingyang looked around and saw as many as twenty figures.

At this moment, those people were rummaging around in the scorched earth and looking around.

As they themselves said, they only need to count the losses of this disaster.

Apart from this, it seems that they really don't have any tasks to do anymore.

When Gu Qingyang saw this, he also smiled coldly and then disappeared.

The reason why Gu Qingyang did this was because he was not suitable to appear now.

Especially, it still appears in its current form.

He has survived that catastrophe and has also undergone a radical change.

Although, his natal bone does not look any different from the original.

But there is no guarantee that a few old guys with vicious eyes will not appear in this ancient hanging coffin sect.

If such a being really saw the clues in his body, then he wouldn't need to practice.

Gu Qingyang estimated that even if he showed some extraordinary talent, these people would see that he survived the catastrophe and had a good future.

These old guys who have lived for many years may still be the same as before and not pay any attention to him.

They would even harm him.

This is no exaggeration.

Gu Qingyang saw human nature very clearly.

He knows that everyone has a greedy side.

Including himself, the same is true.

Moreover, his enemy is never a certain person, but the entire sect.

Faced with this reality, he could only analyze it in the clearest possible way.

He knew that since ancient times, no matter the righteous path or the demonic path, any bone cultivating sect could not escape the law of nepotism.

The sect is a whole, and the reason why it is a whole is that it can bind people with various invisible chains of interests.

Interests can cover many aspects.

They are as strong as chains.

But unfortunately, they are invisible.

Those people are like that, and the chains between them can also have some names, such as master and disciple, Taoist companion...

Just ask, if there is one person in a sect, he can decide how many cultivation resources you can obtain, and even decide your life or death.

So, who do you want this person to be?

Is it your master, your classmate, or the person next to you?

If nothing else, the closer the relationship between this person and you is, the better.

Regarding such issues, the views of ordinary disciples and the views of old monsters are actually very similar.

So, what do they do when a new person suddenly shows amazing talent and rises like a new star?

In this regard, those ordinary disciples may express helplessness and may just wait and see what happens. Or they may choose to take action, provoke or suppress such people.

Those old monsters are more likely to win over, support, befriend, and even try to control such newcomers.

Because the ability of the former is often limited.

The latter's ability is extremely powerful.

The rules of the Righteous Sect may be closer to the so-called morality. Therefore, in the Righteous Sect, even if such a situation exists, it is extremely obscure.

But the Ancient Xuan Coffin Sect is a demonic sect.

In this sect, such sect rules do not exist. The environment of the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect is closer to the essential reality of the wild world.

That is - the weak eat the strong.

The moment he saw these fellow disciples, Gu Qingyang not only knew when the secret realm trial would be held.

He even thought about and figured out clearly what he should do next and how he should mediate with his enemies.

Anyway, he was prepared to continue hibernating.

In his opinion, the secret trial may be an excellent opportunity. If conditions permit, he will show his edge.

Firstly, this can act as a deterrent to many old monsters including the Old Man with the Sky Corpse. Secondly, this can also avoid a lot of trouble for him.

However, if conditions do not allow it, then he will choose to continue practicing hard, secretly increase his strength, and prepare various trump cards.

One day, he will leave here.

And Gu Qingying will also leave here.

By that time, the matter between the two brothers and the ancient Hanging Coffin Sect will inevitably come to an end.

Although this kind of thing seems to be extremely far away from now, in fact, it can happen at any time.

This day could be any day.

Of course, it could be tomorrow.

"If those people think they have a guaranteed victory, then let them down."

With this thought, Gu Qingyang left the scorched earth.

He stayed away from the crowd and walked into the distance, towards a corner of the Fallen Leaf Mountains.

Along the way, he will collect some dead wood that has been baptized by the thunder.

These dead trees are different from other dead trees. They mutated during the process of being destroyed because of the thunder.

Therefore, they are not as useless as other dead trees. They are already an excellent material and can be used for refining weapons and elixirs.

Apart from the sect contribution points given by Old Man Tianshi, Gu Qingyang never owned anything in the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect.

But Gu Qingyang never thought so.

His will is like that weed.

Give him a piece of land, even if it is a lifeless and vicious land, he will be able to seize the opportunity, and then grow vigorously like crazy.

In the eyes of others, this lightning-struck wood may be something belonging to the sect.

But in Gu Qingyang's view, since those people exiled him here.

Then, he should adapt measures to local conditions.

Not long after, he had collected a lot of lightning strikes in his new residence.

After doing this, he sat on the floor and started practicing directly.

I saw him holding the lightning-strike wood in his hand, deducing the God-Devouring Ancient Demonic Sutra, and operating his spiritual power.

As black and purple runes continued to grow around his body, the power of the Lightning Strike Wood began to be absorbed and refined crazily by him.

During this process, his power was always growing, but he was actually crazily suppressing his own cultivation.

Originally, his cultivation aura was incomparable to the acquired grade of ordinary bone cultivators.

However, after some practice, his cultivation aura actually dropped to the acquired black level.

"call--"

Three full days and nights passed before Gu Qingyang finally ended his practice. And the turbid breath he exhaled was also unprecedentedly turbid.

But Gu Qingyang himself is still extremely satisfied with this practice. Because this is the result he wants.

That turbid breath contains many impurities in his body. Being able to exhale it means that his physique has been improved again.

"I don't know if this is possible."

Enjoying the unique tranquility of this fierce land, Gu Qingyang looked at the remaining lightning-struck trees.

After muttering to himself, a smile appeared on his face.

Gu Qingyang was thinking about what kind of trump card he should create for himself.

If he was purely pursuing efficiency, then he should refine these lightning-struck trees into the weapons, talismans and other things he knew about.

During those eight thousand years, he cultivated himself into a person who was proficient in the offensive methods of all schools of bone cultivators.

Among the many methods, there are many that are more terrifying than the hanging coffin ancient sect inheritance, and there are many that are easy to use.

But, after all, this place is still an ancient hanging coffin sect.

If he didn't want to attract attention and arouse the suspicion of those old monsters, then he could only refine these lightning strikes wood into items inherited from the ancient hanging coffin sect.

And when he thought about it, a black spiritual fire slowly lit up on Gu Qingyang's fingertips. He also decided to refine these things in batches.

In the next trial in the secret realm, even if he wants to properly show his strength, he must use the inheritance of the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect.

Therefore, he refined 80% of the lightning strike wood into the talismans and magic weapons inherited from the ancient hanging coffin sect. He would only use them after the trial began.
