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

Gu Qing scanned the Starry Sky with his divine sense. Most of the peak masters were in seclusion, while the rest were managing the sect's operations.

It seems that the matter of spreading the Dharma will have to be arranged later.

"Master..."

Mo Ziyun's beautiful eyes were filled with strong emotions as she softly called out "Master".

"Yes! Let's go back and cultivate!"

Gu Qing waved his hand and led Liu Ruyan back to Wuliangtian Palace, where he summoned Honglan and the other three.

"Uncle!"

Honglan and the other three bowed respectfully.

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes darted around, her gaze sweeping over the four people.

Honglan, Shuying, Yitang, and Wanhe, though Xiling's maids, all possessed stunning beauty.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her figure was tall and voluptuous, and her body was plump and lustrous, like a golden autumn fruit.

The elegance, sophistication, and mature charm that the four women naturally exuded, along with the allure in their every smile and gesture, were something she could never match.

Of course, these are not important.

She felt that the way the four people were looking at Gu Qing was somewhat inappropriate.

But I'm not entirely sure, I'll have to wait and see.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Liu Ruyan sneaking glances at Honglan and the other three, clearly having a peek, Gu Qing angrily slapped her.

Their relationship must remain a secret.

After all, the secretary has a certain charm.

The maids were also very charming.

"No, I didn't see anything."

"No, Gu Qing, how many times have I told you not to touch my head?" Liu Ruyan jumped up and down in anger.

My head may be severed, my blood may flow, but my beautiful hair must never be disheveled.

"Hahaha!"

Honglan and the other three covered their mouths and giggled, their impressive breasts swaying slightly.

"You're so vain!" Gu Qing was speechless.

Liu Ruyan doesn't usually seem to care much about her appearance, and even looks down on women who dress up extravagantly every day, while she herself is secretly beautiful.

There's really no one else like him.

"Alright, Ruyan, calm down!"

Seeing Liu Ruyan's eyes blazing with anger, Hong Lanwanhe hurriedly stepped forward to pull her aside and comfort her.

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly and began to arrange her hair gently, as if she were caressing a rare treasure.

Shuying asked, "Young Master, did you call us here because you have something to tell us?"

"No!" Gu Qing's eyes flashed as he took in the situation of the four people.

His realm has reached the pinnacle of the Profound God realm, and his foundation is incredibly strong. He has already transformed into a semi-innate body.

The four of them are just one opportunity, one sudden enlightenment, away from becoming Immortal Kings.

However, this opportunity is also a divine punishment. Throughout history, countless people who have reached the pinnacle of their spiritual cultivation have been stuck at this bottleneck.

"How's your cultivation of the Heavenly Universe Fusion Star Technique going?" Gu Qing asked.

He had already passed on the Heavenly Universe Fusion Star Technique to the four of them, only making up for a few of the flaws in the technique, without modifying the rest.

There's really no need for that; the Heavenly Star Fusion Technique is already perfect and defies the heavens.

"Reporting to the son-in-law, we have thoroughly comprehended the entire Xuan Shen Chapter."

"That's good!"

Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction. The four of them were quite quick to understand, even faster than he had expected.

"Next, I will forge a companion artifact for each of you four..."

Gu Qing briefly explained the matter of the companion artifact to the four people.

He painstakingly crafted the companion artifact specifically for Honglan and the other three, to help them reverse their innate state and break through to the God King realm.

As for the other disciples, let's wait until we find enough World Stones or deduce a treasure that can replace them.

Gu Qing plans to refine the remaining three World Stones into a Starship.

The importance of flying magical artifacts is self-evident.

To dominate the universe, a starship is indispensable.

After all, he can't keep using his time-travel shuttle forever.

"Understood, son-in-law!" The four of them remained calm upon hearing this, after all, Gu Qing had already given them several innate spiritual treasures.

Upon hearing the words "God King," Liu Ruyan felt a surge of excitement, but then shook her head in dejection.

She is currently only at the peak of the Celestial God Realm, and is countless galaxies away from becoming a God King.

"Let's go then!"

Gu Qing led the five people to the starry sky.

"Why don't we go to the Boundless Realm to refine it? There's a hundred times faster time flow there. Wouldn't it be better to refine it and then come out to undergo tribulation?" Liu Ruyan asked doubtfully.

That's right. There is a tribulation of lightning when refining a companion artifact. Moreover, there is a double tribulation of lightning every time you break through a realm: one is the tribulation of lightning for cultivators, and the other is the tribulation of lightning for companion artifacts.

Whenever a heaven-defying treasure is born, it will be subject to a tribulation of lightning.

Companion artifacts are considered heaven-defying treasures; each upgrade brings a tribulation of lightning.

"Have you forgotten that You Kui is undergoing tribulation?" Gu Qing said speechlessly.

Besides You Kui, there's also that damned woman Tian Yiling; the two of them are undergoing tribulation at the same time.

After the two of them survived their tribulations, Mei Xueyan and Shu Yue were still waiting to undergo theirs.

Although Gu Qing was confident that no Celestial King would dare to provoke him.

However, cultivators believe in defying the heavens and will do anything to seize opportunities and good fortune.

If someone recklessly tries to take advantage of the situation and launches a sneak attack on the four of them while he's away, then things will get really messed up.

"That's true!!!"

Liu Ruyan chuckled awkwardly. She had really forgotten about this. After all, she wasn't the one protecting the Dao, so who would keep it in mind?

"Will you refine it yourself, or should I refine it for you?"

"I'll do it myself!"

"Okay, here you go!"

Gu Qing handed her a World Stone, then took out countless rare minerals and immortal gold, used his supernatural powers to gather their brilliance, and smelted them with the True Fire of the Sun.

The celestial gold ore, which even powerful beings like the Xuan Shen could hardly damage, melted rapidly under the burning of the sun's true fire, while retaining the Daoist essence contained within the ore.

Then Gu Qing took out four World Stones and refined them.

The World Stone is very special. Like a Dao Seed, it cannot be burned and must be refined through cultivation.

Once refined, the World Stone becomes a vessel for melting various rare ores.

Gu Qing quickly made various hand seals, and the shaping artifact, the four World Stones, took shape rapidly in Gu Qing's hands.

"Oh my, Gu Qing, you're too fast!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, as she had only refined less than one percent of her World Stone.

Gu Qing, on the other hand, was simultaneously refining four World Stones and countless rare ores.

In less than half an hour, the embryos of the four divine artifacts were almost melted down.

Even for a god-king, this hand speed is simply astonishing.

Gu Qing: "..."

Gu Qing paused, and if it weren't for the crucial moment of weapon forging, he would have roughly ruffled Emperor Ruyan's beautiful hair.

Shaking his head inwardly, Gu Qing had a sudden thought and asked for her World Stone.

Let her refine it herself; who knows when that will take.

"You just watch from the side!"

"Mmm-hmm!" Liu Ruyan nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gu Qing.

Seeing Gu Qing intently refining the weapon, she felt that Gu Qing at this moment was indescribably charming, and she unconsciously became mesmerized by watching him.

The four women glanced back and forth between the two, smiling without saying a word.

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the accompanying divine artifact was about to be completed, Gu Qing looked at Hong Lan and the other three and said, "Give me the magical treasures you used to prove your Dao."

The more precious the treasures used in a companion artifact, the higher its growth potential. If you can use an innate spiritual treasure, it's best to use one.

Gu Qing's eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

The Boundless Divine Sect has nurtured many chaotic treasures, as well as those divine mountains, all of which are treasures for refining magical artifacts. We'll add some in later and see the effect.

"Shhhhhhh!"

Without hesitation, the four took out their magical treasures.

Only now did they realize that the companion artifact Gu Qing mentioned was a completely different kind of treasure from the companion artifacts they knew.

"Do you have any magical artifacts that you want to smelt?" Gu Qing asked.

"Yes!" Liu Ruyan had already decided to fuse the Desolate Tower into it.

This is a damaged high-grade innate spiritual treasure, a Dao-proving treasure of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Emperor.

Along the way, Huangta saved her from danger several times.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan planned to melt down the desolate tower and renovate it.
