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

With Ji Ning's assistance, Gu Qing refined the sunglasses in just five days.

Gu Qing rubbed his old-fashioned sunglasses, secretly marveling at how pleasant it was to find shade under a big tree.

The most precious artifacts, coveted by countless people yet unattainable, were readily available to him.

There are also powerful individuals who help with the refining process.

"Our Star Temple has the divine artifact, the Sun God Mirror. You may take it if you need it."

Ji Ning gave a cold reminder.

Gu Qing thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, no matter how good the magic weapon is, you still need to have enough cultivation. The Supreme Artifact is enough for me to use."

With his current cultivation level, he would have difficulty even controlling a supreme artifact; if he were to use a divine artifact, he would probably only be able to look at it but not use it.

Once used, it can instantly drain him dry.

“Our temple has many divine artifacts that possess spirits; one only needs to awaken the spirit to use them.”

"For example, the Celestial Tower, the Celestial Chart, the Seven Star Sword, the Lunar Treasure Bottle..."

Ji Ning rattled off more than a dozen divine artifacts that possessed spirits.

Gu Qing's expression changed from calm to astonishment and shock.

Does the Star Temple have so many divine artifacts?

It should be understood that divine artifacts are the foundation of an immortal lineage, and their value is self-evident.

But here at the Temple of Stars, they're treated like rotten cabbage.

Ji Ning noticed Gu Qing's confusion and explained softly, "Our Star Palace has been passed down from ancient times and has flourished ever since, producing countless brilliant and talented ancestors..."

"In short, the foundation of our Star Temple is unfathomable. If you are interested, you can learn about its history."

The divine artifacts are not worthless; the divine artifacts of the Star Temple are the culmination of countless years of accumulation by our ancestors.

Gu Qing possesses the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body, allowing him to freely obtain any divine artifact.

Even if it were someone else, even someone at the Divine Fire Realm, they could only borrow it for a limited time.

Gu Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly rushed out of the cave and headed straight for the forbidden area where the divine artifacts were stored.

The divine artifact possesses unparalleled divine power; a mere wisp of its energy can shatter mountains and rivers spanning billions of miles.

Therefore, the places where they are stored are all cave worlds that have been transformed by the Divine Fire Realm.

Each divine artifact exists in its own independent realm.

Gu Qing entered more than a dozen grotto-heavens to select divine artifacts. He liked all of them and found it difficult to choose.

"He Ni, which artifact do you think I should choose?"

“The Zhou Tian Star Seal and the Zhou Tian Star Tower are the most suitable.”

"It can nourish your celestial body and assist you in comprehending the Great Dao of the Stars, allowing you to autonomously absorb the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars..."

"But I think you should choose the Cosmic Tower, which has no spirits or deities."

"Although it is not as powerful as the previous two divine artifacts, and you cannot use it at the moment, it can still help you comprehend the Great Dao of Stars and autonomously absorb the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars."

"Since you're not in a hurry to use it, you can cultivate its spirit yourself, integrate it into your own Dao, and use it as your own Dao-proving magic weapon."

"I have methods for cultivating and refining artifact spirits. If you need them, I can give them to you. If things go smoothly, you can cultivate an artifact spirit in just a few years."

He Ni passed on the two techniques to Gu Qing, and then analyzed it as follows.

"Yes, that makes more sense."

Hearing He Ni's analysis, Gu Qing realized that she had been mistaken before.

The artifact can not only help kill enemies, but also aid in cultivation.

The nine-colored soul lotus in Gu Qingzi's sea of ​​consciousness shone brightly, assisting his primordial spirit in quickly comprehending the cultivation and refining methods taught by He Ni.

By merging the two methods, Gu Qing obtained a brand new method of refining.

He can wield divine artifacts without needing a spirit.

However, it requires a massive amount of blood energy for refining, and he has no shortage of blood energy.

Furthermore, the refining process can be completed in just ten days to half a month.

Gu Qing entered the cave world where the cosmic tower was stored.

Before my eyes stretched a vast starry sky, and a divine tower reached to the heavens and the earth, seemingly a divine object reaching to the sky. Star patterns flowed around it, revealing an immortal and indestructible sacred Dao charm.

Gu Qing revealed his entire Chaotic Star Body, pouring his vast blood and energy into the Cosmic Tower.

He can't just take the artifact with him whenever he wants; it needs to automatically recognize him as its master before he can take it away.

Although the Cosmic Tower has no spirit, it is spiritual and will automatically choose its master.

Om~!

The Cosmic Tower suddenly shrank and disappeared into Gu Qing's body.

Gu Qing returned to his cave, poured out all the precious liquid, and used the Chaos Undying Scripture to refine it, pouring a massive amount of blood energy into the Cosmic Tower.

Seeing that everything went smoothly, Gu Qing couldn't help but say excitedly, "He Ni, thank you."

Once he reaches the Void Dao Realm, he will possess an unparalleled divine artifact, allowing him to roam freely in this world.

"No need to worry about it, it's nothing," He Ni said quietly.

"He Ni, why don't I become your apprentice?" Gu Qing suddenly felt that it would be good to have He Ni by his side.

Putting aside the benefits He Ni provides, it's good to chat with He Ni when you're feeling down.

Anyway, he can block the Qiankun Sword at any time, so he doesn't have to worry about He Ni spying on anything.

Upon hearing this, He Ni's eyes narrowed slightly; she was somewhat tempted, but not much.

I asked you to become my apprentice before, but you refused. I won't do it again now, hmph.

She said softly, "No need. My physical body is perfect, and the Great Dao is bright. There is no need to take on any more successors."

"That's a real pity," Gu Qing said regretfully.

He Ni thought to herself, "It's not a pity. If I can't be his apprentice, I can be his father."

"The Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, possessing the origin of chaos, is simply perfect. Combined with my innate holy body Dao embryo, it will surely give birth to an unparalleled offspring throughout the ages."

Her gaze fell on Gu Qing's handsome face, and her heart raced.

"No apprentice is as reliable as your own child, so I'd rather run away with the baby."

"It'll be soon. We'll make our move once he breaks through to the King Realm."

...

...

Ten days passed quickly.

"Alas, Gu Qing really doesn't know how to cherish women. He ignores such a beautiful woman and goes into seclusion alone."

Chu Yao complained.

I thought that after we confirmed our relationship, we would be inseparable for a while, as sweet and sticky as honey.

However, it turned out that she was overthinking it.

Gu Qing is still the same Gu Qing.

Cultivation should be the top priority.

"No way."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Senior brother is just busy refining the sunglasses; he'll be out of seclusion soon."

Su Qingyue rolled her eyes and scolded playfully.

Her delicate, perfect face radiated an exquisite smile.

Gu Qing's seclusion was nothing to her.

They are all cultivators, so of course they should prioritize their cultivation.

Anyway, there's plenty of time ahead, and they have long lifespans.

"Is it."

Realizing she had misunderstood Gu Qing, Chu Yao smiled sheepishly and changed the subject.

"Zhang Yang was killed by Jiang Yu and defeated several true disciples in succession. He was once the most famous in the Star God Temple. I heard that he is applying to become a Holy Son."

"Hmph, just an arrogant fool who got a bargain. Without Senior Brother shattering Zhang Yang's magic weapon, how could Jiang Yu be a match for him?" Su Qingyue sneered.

Hearing the name Jiang Yu filled her with disgust.

All I do all day is follow her around like a piece of chewing gum, disgusting but impossible to shake off.

However, on the other hand, Jiang Yu seems to have changed recently.

It's been so long since I've visited her or brought her any gifts; it's really strange.

"That's true, he got off too easy."

Chu Yao nodded in agreement and continued, "Doesn't Gu Qing want to be the Holy Son?"

"I probably don't want to."

"After all, Senior Brother lacks nothing and holds a transcendent position in the Star God Temple. The position of Holy Son is actually a burden for him."

Gu Qing wants to become the Holy Son; it's just a matter of a word, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

"Sigh, it's true that comparing yourself to others is just awful."

Hearing this, Chu Yao couldn't help but sigh.

The Holy Son that others would fight to the death for was, in Gu Qing's eyes, just a burden.

I'm so envious; I wish I had that kind of burden too.

"Let's go, the succession ceremony is about to begin. As the Holy Maiden, you must be there."

...

...

The succession ceremony of the Holy Son of the Star Temple was naturally a grand and extraordinary occasion.

Except for the elders who were in seclusion, almost everyone was present.

They also invited immortal lineages from many realms to attend the ceremony.

In the square, Jiang Yu, the current head of the Star God Temple, wore a Star God Crown and a magnificent Star Daoist robe that perfectly enveloped her body.

She sat regally on her throne, shrouded in a hazy divine light, obscuring her true appearance.

Even so, she possesses a noble and elegant beauty, like a goddess from heaven, sacred and inviolable.

It has attracted countless fascinated viewers.

Clearly, those of the Immortal Lineage did not come to witness the Holy Son's succession ceremony, but rather to alleviate their longing.

Jiang Yu, the goddess, was renowned throughout the heavens for her beauty. Her talent was unparalleled, and she was as beautiful as a celestial being. She and Zhi Meng were known as the two peerless beauties.

In that era, Jiang Yu had suitors all over the myriad realms.

It is hailed as the brightest pearl in the vast starry sky.

Of course, they only dared to steal a glance.

Although Goddess Jiang Yu is gentle and kind, she will not show any mercy to those who offend her.
