The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Looking at Gu Qing's slightly youthful profile, Zhi Meng remained silent for a long time.

She was so eager to take on disciples because she couldn't stand Luo Rou constantly instigating them to defeat her.

Thinking of taking on a disciple himself, he ruthlessly suppressed Luo Rou's disciple.

So that Luo Rou knows that your sister is still your sister after all.

However, to her utter surprise, her newly accepted disciple turned out to be the lover of Luo Rou's disciple.

How can I ruthlessly suppress this brat's disciple now?

So, she ended up with nothing after taking on apprentices?

Gu Qing was unaware of Zhi Meng's gaze; at that moment, he stared in awe at the palace complex floating in the void.

The palace was magnificent and boundless, surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, with celestial mountains and pavilions floating in the air, and divine light and splendor filling the sky.

It would be no exaggeration to describe it as a celestial palace.

Walking through the gate of the Star Temple, it resembles a southern heavenly gate, standing tall in the clouds.

Buzz~!

The five-clawed dragon coiled around the pillar of the South Heavenly Gate seemed to come alive, bursting forth with dazzling divine light.

Gu Qing's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body was instantly activated, and the strange phenomenon reflected reality.

Gu Qing seemed to exist independently in a vast universe, surrounded by stars, like the ancestor of all stars.

Endless starlight surged into his body, transforming into countless Dao runes.

This is the inherited cultivation technique of the Star Palace, the Zhou Tian Star Technique.

Legend has it that it is the natal cultivation technique of a primordial god or demon, who was the founder of the Star God Temple.

Any Zhou Tian Star God Body who comes to the Star God Temple can receive this inheritance.

Gu Qing was suddenly enlightened, and the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue (a martial arts technique) started operating automatically.

His physique is improving, and his essence is growing stronger.

"Ok?"

"The Celestial Divine Body?"

"None of you should try to take it from me. I haven't taken on any disciples for thousands of years."

"Brother, this boy is destined to be with me..."

"Fate my ass! Little sister, I've been giving in to you for tens of thousands of years, you have to give in to me this once, right?"

"Quiet down, everyone. I am the one with the highest cultivation level here, so it is only right that I accept this."

The living fossil-level powerhouse of the Star Temple was extremely excited upon seeing the Zhou Tian Star God Body.

It's been tens of thousands of years.

In their lifetime, they were even able to see the legendary Zhou Tian Xing Chen divine body.

This is a glorious golden age, where various legendary supreme divine bodies are born one after another.

"Gentlemen, Gu Qing has already become my disciple."

At this moment, Zhi Meng's voice floated like divine music.

"you?"

They instantly remembered that three months ago, Zhi Meng had indeed said that she wanted to take Gu Qing as her disciple, and had even sent her followers to do so.

but...

They didn't know that it was the divine body of the Zhou Tian stars.

“Zhi Meng, listen to your grand-uncle’s advice. You are still young and cannot teach her well. Let this old man do it.”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Zhi Meng, you mustn't make a mistake. Right now, you should focus on cultivation and not delay your ascension to the Immortal Realm."

“But he has already become my disciple and even gave me a gift for becoming his disciple.” Zhi Mengyang held up the storage bag in her hand.

"you..."

Why won't you listen to advice, you silly girl?

"Listen to me, put down the storage bag and forget about this. It's most appropriate to hand Gu Qing over to me."

"What the ancestor says is true. With your abilities, you can certainly teach Gu Qing well. However, the apprenticeship is now complete, and a teacher for a day is a father for life..."

"Okay, everyone can leave now."

The group of living fossils were so angry they almost turned to death. They uttered a resentful remark, and then everything returned to calm.

"Little fellow, you have good talent and are so filial, so I will reluctantly accept you as my student."

Zhi Meng smiled gently, seemingly in a very good mood; taking on a disciple wouldn't be bad.

If you can't suppress the disciple who's a brat, then you can't suppress him. You can just take on another disciple.

Thinking about it, Zhi Meng suddenly looked at the vast universe. Wasn't there a Taiyin Divine Body in the flying boat?

This is a divine body of unparalleled talent.

If nurtured properly, it can evolve into a supreme divine body.

At that time, it's not impossible to compete with the disciple of that brat.

With this thought in mind, Zhi Meng flicked her sleeve and moved Gu Qing to her secluded cultivation cave.

She took a step, traversing endless galaxies, her holy aura vast and boundless, her Daoist teachings illuminating all heavens.

"Little girl, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

“Master, your disciple is willing to serve you by your side forever.”

Su Qingyue knelt down with a thud, her expression one of excitement.

Ji Ning had already told her that Zhi Meng was a saintly being who surveyed the heavens and earth and whose Daoist magic was all-encompassing.

You should know that before coming to the Star Temple, she was a sect's holy maiden.

The holy land has produced a sage ancestor, but that sage ancestor has been gone for countless millennia.

In her world, the realm of saints was a legendary existence.

How could she not be excited to see a living saint and great being?

"Phew, thank goodness!" Ji Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Qingyue hadn't given her a gift for becoming a disciple.

This time she made it clear.

"Yes, very good!"

Zhi Meng nodded slightly and led her to the Star God Temple. As expected, Su Qingyue also triggered an anomaly.

However, there was no successor.

However, the boundless moonlight poured into her body, elevating her inner strength to a new level.

"Zhi Meng, you won't give up until you've opened my coffin, will you?"

"That's outrageous."

"What a misfortune for our sect."

"I intend to establish her as the Holy Maiden. Do the ancestors have any objections?" Zhi Meng chuckled lightly.

"No comment."

"what ever."

Although Su Qingyue's cultivation level is currently very low, and the cultivation technique she practices is also very poor, she probably can't even beat an inner disciple.

With such a background, she is simply not worthy of being called a saint.

But Su Qingyue's physical condition is what it is.

Their Star Palace is full of divine skills, secret techniques, and rare treasures.

This will allow Su Qingyue to improve her foundation in a short time and cultivate the Taiyin Sutra, at which point she will become an invincible genius with the potential to become an immortal.

Besides, who is Zhi Meng?

With her personal guidance, even a mortal could be nurtured into a prodigy.

Zhi Meng is known as the Goddess of Many Treasures, and this reputation is well-deserved.

...

Gu Qing awoke from her epiphany three days later.

His cultivation level broke through to the third level of the Purple Mansion Realm.

His body was filled with true energy, like a vast ocean.

Gu Qing glanced around and saw a palace with a woman of unparalleled beauty sitting on it, surrounded by divine light, making it impossible to see her face.

Beside them stood a stunningly beautiful young woman, seemingly untouched by the world.

"Has the complete inheritance been obtained?"

Zhi Meng's voice was tinged with laughter.

After three days of enlightenment, Gu Qing's comprehension surpassed that of previous generations of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body.

Previous generations of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body could ascend to the Immortal Realm within three thousand years.

"I obtained it, along with many other supernatural powers and secret techniques."

Gu Qing replied.

Looking at her blurry figure, I felt a sudden wave of frustration.

Even gentlemen are wary; do all strong people like to conceal their appearance?

Zhi Meng: "That's right, this is my newly accepted disciple. You two should look after each other from now on."

"Greetings, Senior Brother. I hope you will take good care of me in the future." Su Qingyue smiled.

Things turned out exactly as she had predicted.

When she saw Ji Ning kill the demon beast, she suspected that it was for Gu Qing, whose physique was even better than hers.

It is very likely a supreme divine body.

"You're welcome, Junior Sister."

Gu Qing smiled and replied, his attitude towards her much better, since they would be fellow disciples from now on.

"What are your plans next?" Zhi Meng glanced at the longsword on Gu Qing's back, unable to discern its grade; it seemed to be an ordinary weapon.

But a longsword that even she couldn't see through must be an absolute treasure.

It seems that her disciple is a person with great fortune and has received a great blessing.

"I want to go into seclusion to cultivate and improve my cultivation level," Gu Qing said without hesitation.

Having obtained so much demon beast liquid, he would never leave seclusion until he cultivated to the Profound Core Realm.

Moreover, the starlight here is so rich that it is simply the best blessed land for cultivating the Purple Mansion Soul Palace.

Furthermore, the cultivation techniques he practiced had reached a point where they had to be integrated.

Practicing one technique after another is time-consuming and energy-intensive; he can't keep going back and forth to learn it all—that would be putting the cart before the horse.

In fact, in theory, a person can only master one skill.

After all, a person only has one body. If one cultivates other techniques, the attributes of the techniques are different, and conflicts of true essence are inevitable. In severe cases, one may suffer from qi deviation and die from body explosion.

Other techniques can at most be used as a reference, or their supernatural powers can be cultivated.

However, Gu Qing possesses an immeasurable dantian that can hold immeasurable true essence, and his meridians are constantly cleansed by the primordial yin and yang energy, making them broad, resilient, and devoid of any attributes.

No matter how many techniques you practice, there will be no problems.

But this can't go on forever; we can't condense multiple Xuan Dan, can we?

Wouldn't that disperse the power?

The strongest punch is when you clench your fist tightly.

Gu Qing has thoroughly comprehended the introductory chapters of the three peerless divine skills: the Yin-Yang Great Dao Song, the Undying Heavenly Art, and the Zhou Tian Starry Sky Technique.

He plans to fuse these three peerless divine skills before reaching the Profound Core Realm.

These three divine skills are all pinnacle techniques in their respective fields. When combined, their combined power is unimaginable.

Gu Qing became increasingly excited as he thought about it, wishing he could stay here in seclusion and cultivate until the end of time.

"Excellent! Your heart is sincere in seeking the truth."

Seeing this, Zhi Meng was surprised. She didn't expect that Gu Qingnian, at such a young age, would not want to show off his power, but instead want to go into seclusion and cultivate like the old folks.

Gu Qing's desire for enlightenment is so strong; he is destined for greatness.

Thinking it over, she made a thought, and three jade bottles floated in front of Gu Qing.

One bottle contains the Jade Purity Nourishing Spirit Pill, a fifth-grade elixir that can dispel inner demons and strengthen the soul.

A precious pill that even those at the Void Dao Realm can only dream of.

The other bottle contains the Three Lights Divine Water, which is condensed from the sun, moon, and stars.

It can improve physical fitness, strengthen the life force, and cleanse the soul.

It is also a sacred object for healing or for reshaping the physical body.

It is a treasure that even the most talented and extraordinary people dream of obtaining.

There is also a fruit, the divine medicine Star Fruit, which can transform a mortal into a star spirit.

An ordinary divine body transforms into a medium-level divine body.

It is also of great use to the Supreme Divine Body, allowing one's foundation to reach a higher level.

These three treasures are all more precious than the last.

"Master is so fat."

After Zhi Meng left, Gu Qing thought to himself.

She casually produced three treasures that even the most talented people would dream of, demonstrating Zhi Meng's immense wealth.

Thinking about it, Gu Qing took out the storage ring that Ji Ning had given him.

The monsters inside piled up to form a continuous mountain range.

Some of the monsters were so large that they resembled mountains, possessing abundant blood and energy, and exuding a menacing aura.

In addition, there are millions of medicinal herbs, dozens of precious herbs, and some minerals.

Gu Qing's lips twitched, shocked by Ji Ning's extravagant gesture.

Even the lowest-grade spiritual herb here is enough to kill a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, not to mention the more precious spiritual herbs and ores used to refine magical artifacts.

Ji Ning simply gave it to him like that.

It really is true what they say: some are dying of drought, while others are drowning in floods.

Gu Qing collected all the demonic beasts, spiritual herbs, and precious medicines into the golden gourd, melted them into liquid, and then poured them out directly.

This is a secluded cave, sealed off from the elements, where spiritual energy can only enter but not leave.

Therefore, there is no loss in pouring it out.

"He Ni, have you successfully reconstructed your physical body?"

Gu Qing suddenly asked via telepathy.

"It won't be that fast. It will take at least a few years to rebuild the physical body," He Ni said helplessly.

"Then I'll share some good things with you," Gu Qing said after thinking for a moment.

This time, the liquid produced by melting down the demon beast liquid and spiritual herbs was too much; he didn't know how long it would take to refine it.

Moreover, the precious liquid was not precious to him; he could have as much as he wanted, and it only took some time.

But for He Ni, it is definitely the most needed treasure right now. Reshaping her physical body requires a lot of vital essence, and the treasure liquid just happens to be able to meet her needs.

Perhaps with these, He Ni's strength can be further enhanced.

"Huh... what kind of treasure is this? Its vitality is so pure, and it has no resistance at all."

He Ni was instantly astonished when she saw the precious liquid.

In fact, she had seen more precious treasures than these, and often used them for bathing, but that was in the past.

Now she's down on her luck, so poor she only has a sword left.

In this lower realm, these precious liquids are absolutely of the highest quality.

And it is currently of great use to her.

She wasn't sure she could reshape her innate Dao body before, but now she is.

"Thank you!" He Ni was extremely grateful. Such a fine young man, it was a pity he couldn't become her disciple.

"You're welcome. We'll be spending a lot of time together in the future, and I'll be counting on your guidance," Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Don't worry, with me here, absolutely no one in this lower realm can hurt you. If you don't understand anything in the future, just come and ask me. By the way, I'm giving you this Lesser Thousand Swords Technique."

He Ni unleashed a sword aura that entered Gu Qing's mind.

Gu Qing scanned the area with his divine sense, and his expression changed slightly.

The Lesser Thousand Sword Technique opens up three thousand acupoint cave worlds, nurtures three thousand divine swords, forms a Three Thousand Realms Sword Array, creating an independent sword world, unparalleled in killing, with power capable of splitting heaven and earth.

"Just who is this woman? The sword technique she casually gave me is even more terrifying than the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue."

"Moreover, this sword formation is a perfect match for my Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body," Gu Qing thought to himself.

I plan to study the Lesser Thousand Swords Technique when I have time, but improving my strength is the priority for now.

Gu Qing adjusted his mindset, swallowed the Jade Purity Nourishing Spirit Pill, and circulated the Heavenly Star Technique to refine it.

Although the Jade Purity Nourishing Spirit Pill is a fifth-grade pill, it only targets the soul and spirit, and its effects are mild, so even mortals can take it.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Qingyue wore a moon-white long dress, her temperament even more refined than before, like a fairy descending from the Moon Palace, pure and otherworldly.

She arrived at Gu Qing's secluded cave and asked Ji Ning, who was sitting cross-legged at the entrance.

"Senior brother, have you not yet emerged from seclusion?"

"No." Ji Ning was also puzzled.

Someone of Gu Qing's monstrous talent should be able to break through a realm in just a few days with the help of a treasure; he shouldn't have been in seclusion for a whole year.

After all, he was a young and ambitious prodigy.

Having made a major breakthrough in cultivation, one must definitely go out and fight, firstly to make a name for oneself, and secondly to hone one's foundation—killing two birds with one stone.

Gu Qing, on the other hand, went into seclusion for a whole year as soon as he joined the Star God Temple.

Moreover, it seems to be in deep seclusion, frantically absorbing the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars.

She stayed here specifically to collect the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars for Gu Qing.

After all, Gu Qing needed so much, it was like a bottomless pit.

She had to keep a close eye on Gu Qing to ensure that he absorbed enough energy without causing spiritual energy to overwhelm him.

They treated Gu Qing like a delicate little white flower, taking meticulous care of her.

This is the advantage of a great religion; it's good to take shelter under a big tree.

"Senior brother is truly a cultivation fanatic, possessing a sincere heart that seeks the Dao."

Su Qingyue exclaimed in admiration.

She considers herself to be aloof and dislikes socializing, but she also cannot stand being in seclusion for long periods.

Occasionally, I'll go out for a walk to admire the celestial palaces and fairy-like scenery, or gaze at the vast and mysterious universe to relax my mind.

Sometimes I also want to find someone to confide in.

But she had no relatives or friends here, and she naturally felt a sense of goodwill towards Gu Qing, who was also from the Northern Region and had the same master.

So I wanted to confide in Gu Qing.

For example, the star spirits who joined the Star Temple with them.

There was an arrogant young man who always looked down on others, but he was defeated by an outer disciple in two moves.

Back in his cave, he didn't even last a night before his life force was extinguished by the sword energy within his body, and he died.

This young man is a prodigy who dominates the region.
