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

"Ancestor, save me..."

Jiang Yu screamed in terror and fled, dragging his heavily injured body.

The terrifying fear of death gripped Jiang Yu's mind; having died once before, the fear was beyond measure.

At this moment, he was disheveled, covered in blood, and running desperately through the starry sky, looking utterly wretched.

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person.

Indifference and detachment are just for show.

When death came, Jiang Yu could no longer pretend.

"Unsightly."

Jiang Yu shook her head.

Jiang Yu's fearless demeanor fooled her completely.

However, after a major battle, their cowardly and incompetent nature was immediately exposed.

She was relieved that she hadn't taken Jiang Yu as her apprentice, and that no one else knew she wanted to take him as a disciple.

Otherwise, we'd lose face big time.

"Utterly foolish." He Ni hugged the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron with glee, not forgetting to scorn Jiang Yu.

Having such a precious treasure, yet not knowing how to use it.

If it were Gu Qing, he would probably have absorbed the Xuanhuang Mother Qi to temper his body long ago, transforming his Void Divine Body and Pure Yang Dao Bone into the Xuanhuang Body.

The next step is the Xuanhuang Sacred Body.

This is an extremely powerful physique, even stronger than the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.

Furthermore, Jiang Yu didn't even bother to explore the Void Divine Body and Pure Yang Dao Bone, as if these two physical attributes were just for show.

If Jiang Yu had discovered even one or two Void God Body talents, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.

However, to be fair, Jiang Yu's swordsmanship is extremely strong.

But she could tell at a glance that this was not something Jiang Yu had cultivated himself.

It's more like a supernatural power imprinted into his body by a powerful being.

"Is this truly the Celestial Constellation Divine Body...?"

The elders were somewhat disillusioned. They searched through historical records but could not find a Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body similar to Gu Qing's.

That terrifying, boundless blood energy was even less than that of a divine beast.

The terrifying power of the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent was shattered by a single punch.

This perfectly illustrates the principle of overcoming all obstacles with sheer force.

"It is indeed the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, or rather, this is the true Zhou Tian Star Divine Body."

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

Do you know how vast the universe is?

"I don't know."

"The Zhou Tian Star God Body contains the origin of the universe and stars, possessing infinite potential. Previous Zhou Tian Star God Bodies have not been able to tap into the true potential of the Zhou Tian Star God Body."

"Is that so..."

"Of course, look at his boxing style, does it contain the essence of the celestial bodies?"

Upon careful consideration, everyone realized it was true.

The Starry Sky Divine Fist gathers the power of all the stars in the heavens, transforming the user into countless stars.

The previous few people only developed seven stars of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body.

"Just wait and see, this is just the beginning. He will surely discover even more terrifying talents and supernatural abilities."

Jiang Yu spoke with certainty, gazing at the starry sky. Her eyes reflected the myriad stars, the birth and death of realms, as if she were deducing some invincible technique.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of innate divine ability was even more powerful than the Starry Sky Divine Fist?

If these words didn't come from Jiang Yu, they would never believe it, even if they were beaten to death.

After all, transforming into countless stars is already incredibly powerful.

This requires not only sufficient cultivation, but also an incredibly powerful physique and soul, capable of controlling thousands of supernatural avatars.

They were exceptionally gifted, spending their entire lives studying the Seven Star Fist and Seven Star Sword, and consuming countless treasures to strengthen their divine souls, before they were able to differentiate into six divine incarnations.

Gu Qing's Starry Sky Divine Fist seems to be within the realm of common sense, yet it defies common sense.

They simply cannot succeed through cultivation later in life.

Thinking this, one of the elders changed the subject, hesitatingly asking, "Palace Master, what's the deal with Jiang Yu's Heaven-Opening Sword Intent?"

"It wasn't something he cultivated."

Jiang Yu shook his head.

It is impossible for Jiang Yu to cultivate the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent. There is no trace of the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent in the Dao and Dharma on Jiang Yu's body.

If this happens, there is only one possibility: the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent is an imprint of a powerful being on Jiang Yu's body.

"That's a pity."

The legacy of the strong cannot be forcibly seized.

"Senior brother is terrifyingly powerful..."

Su Qingyue murmured, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"really."

Chu Yao nodded.

Gu Qing's strength was as she had expected, unmatched.

"Humph!"

The Star-Picking Hand reappeared, traversing hundreds of thousands of miles, and instantly descended upon Jiang Yu's head.

"Do not..."

Jiang Yu roared in despair and unleashed a powerful sword strike, but it couldn't budge the Star-Picking Hand even slightly.

An immense power descended, and Jiang Yu felt as if he were being crushed by countless stars, his body being squeezed out of shape, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and blood gushing out.

The fear of death spread wildly through his mind.

"Did you break Zhang Yang's magic weapon?"

On the verge of death, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered Zhang Yang's words: "The world is still uncertain, and we are all just cattle and horses."

At the time, he thought Zhang Yang had made a mistake.

Now it seems that it was absolutely right.

They fought to the death for the position of Holy Son, but even if they obtained it, it would be nothing more than cattle and horses that Gu Qing could slaughter at will.

"It's rare that you finally did it."

Gu Qing loosened his grip slightly, opened the system, glanced at the system information, and did not receive any notification of plundering luck.

It seems the Super Thornmail lives up to its name, a super thorny armor that deals massive damage, it's incredibly reliable.

"Is that really the case..."

Jiang Yu felt ice-cold all over.

Gu Qing can even destroy a royal weapon, how laughable that he thinks he can suppress Gu Qing with a single sword strike.

"Pfft!"

Gu Qing pierced him with a single halberd, then lifted him up.

"Do not..."

Jiang Yu coughed up blood, gripping the halberd tightly with both hands.

He cried out in terror, "Ancestor, why won't you save me?"

He didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die.

He possesses an unparalleled divine body and a sign-in system, destined to become an unparalleled being.

Immortality awaits him.

Unparalleled beauty awaits him.

How could he die?

Why didn't I save you? Can't you look for the reason within yourself?

Jiang Fangcheng suddenly appeared, his face pale and his voice trembling as he angrily rebuked them.

First he betrayed his sect, and now that he's lost, he still wants to escape?

What are you thinking?

Even if their Jiang family's Divine Fire Realm ancestor were to be resurrected, he still couldn't save Jiang Yu.

unless...

Boom~!

A mighty holy aura descended, and the boundless starry sky seemed to stand still. A sacred aura permeated the air, and a peerless figure appeared, shrouded in a hazy holy radiance.

She seemed to be a deity who had emerged from ancient times. The world revolved around her, and countless laws emanated from her, making her ancient and mysterious.

Jiang Yu merely opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Fangcheng, who trembled violently, his body aging at a visible rate, before turning into dust and dissipating into nothingness.

"So powerful..." Gu Qing's eyes gleamed with desire.

Jiang Fangcheng was at the peak of the Venerable Realm; a single glance from him would annihilate him without leaving a trace.

"..." Jiang Yu paused, it was rare to meet a man who was impressed by her strength.

It was as if her stunning beauty was nothing to Gu Qing.

She glanced at Gu Qing, her figure slowly fading away, disappearing without a trace in an instant. The starry sky returned to calm, as if Jiang Yu had never appeared.

"It seems no one can save you."

"Then you're dead."

Gu Qing withdrew her gaze.

His voice sounded to Jiang Yu like the whisper of a demon.

"No, I am the young patriarch of the Jiang family. You cannot kill me. Do you want to achieve immortality?" Jiang Yu said sternly.

"An Immortal Battle? Hahaha..."

Gu Qing was amused.

It seems Jiang Yu hasn't figured out the situation yet and still thinks he has an invincible background.

I'm too lazy to waste my breath arguing with him.

He shouldered his halberd, carrying Jiang Yu on his back, and headed towards his own cave dwelling.

After looting Jiang Yu's treasures, they crushed him to ashes.

Jiang Yu has quite a few good things, including top-grade pills, precious medicines, king-grade medicines, heaven-rank magic treasures, and king-grade artifacts that can improve cultivation.

There is even a sacred herb.

Jiang Yu is undeniably fat.

It is even richer than 99% of the Supreme Realm.

Gu Qing put all the sacred medicines, royal medicines, and precious medicines into the golden gourd and melted them together with the flesh and blood of the demon beasts to create a precious liquid.

This time, only high-end products were used. Gu Qing only took one sip, and his cultivation and physical body began to improve rapidly.

A day later, Gu Qing stopped cultivating.

【Name】Gu Qing.

【Realm】Second level of Virtual Dao Realm.

"His cultivation has broken through to the second level of the Void Dao Realm, and the Chaos Sword Technique has evolved into the Chaos Return to Nothingness Sword Technique. Not bad."

"System, give me a lottery draw."

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the innate spiritual treasure, the Xuanhuang Pearl.]

Gu Qing hurriedly examined the wondrous uses of the Xuanhuang Pearl.

The Xuanhuang Pearl possesses unparalleled defense; suspended above the head, it grants an invincible advantage.

At the same time, it can also generate the Primordial Qi, which can cleanse one's aptitude. Even a useless person who cannot cultivate can eventually be cleansed into a Primordial Saint Body.

The Xuanhuang Sacred Body is a supreme divine body second only to the Chaos Body, and even stronger than the Zhou Tian Star God Body.

Thinking it over, Gu Qing put the Xuanhuang Pearl into his body. The Xuanhuang Pearl emitted wisps of Xuanhuang, cleansing and strengthening his physical body.

"With the Xuanhuang Pearl, I can become stronger as long as I live."

The protagonist is indeed his godfather.

Gu Qing walked out of the cave with a happy smile: "Ji Ning, help me find some low-grade spiritual herbs, I need to refine pills."

"Alchemy?"

Ji Ning was taken aback for a moment, then began to do as instructed.

They found a bunch of medicinal herbs below level three.

Gu Qing went to the treasure vault and retrieved a Heaven-rank magic treasure alchemy furnace, and then began to refine pills in a very professional manner.

There are five steps in the alchemy process.

First, the medicinal herbs are purified into a medicinal liquid, and then they are blended one by one according to their medicinal properties.

Because the medicinal properties of the elixir contain a violent potency, the fusion process is extremely dangerous. The slightest mistake can cause a conflict between the medicinal properties, which can result in a serious explosion or, at the very least, loss of medicinal properties or spoilage, rendering the product unusable.

After all the liquid was fused together, a special secret method was used to purify it.

The purity of the medicinal liquid is directly related to the quality of the elixir.

Then the pills are divided according to the proportions; a typical prescription requires nine pills.

Of course, if the technology is insufficient and the medicinal liquid is lost during the refining process, the amount of medicinal liquid to be divided into portions will vary depending on the situation.

Finally, it was refined into a spiritual elixir.

This step is both the easiest and the hardest.

It's easy to refine a low-grade pill.

However, to refine it into a top-grade pill, one must delve into the principles of alchemy.

Gu Qing opened the restrictions on the Qiankun Sword and began refining pills while asking He Ni questions and explaining his understanding of alchemy principles.

He Ni remained silent throughout.

Watching Gu Qing's alchemy techniques flow smoothly and effortlessly, and even revealing deeper insights, one could see the remarkable skill involved.

If she hadn't known that this was Gu Qing's first time refining pills, she would have suspected that Gu Qing was a master alchemist.

"He Ni?"

"Oh, you're right."

He Ni snapped out of her daze and was forced to take on the role of an alchemist, teaching Gu Qing how to refine pills.

Three days later, Gu Qing became a third-grade alchemy master, capable of refining top-grade third-grade pills.

Only alchemists who can refine top-grade pills can be called grandmasters.

A month later, Gu Qing became a sixth-rank Grandmaster.

Three months later, Gu Qing became a ninth-rank Grandmaster.

In just over four months, Gu Qing achieved what others struggle their entire lives to reach.

"what happened?"

"Isn't Gu Qingzhen, the disciple of Goddess Peak, a Daoist fanatic? How come he's become obsessed with alchemy now?"

"I do not know either."

The news that Gu Qing is obsessed with alchemy has gone viral recently.

No one understood why Gu Qing, who was perfectly fine, would go and refine pills.

It's truly baffling that they would choose a crooked path instead of the main, clear road.

It can't be a lack of resources, can it?

impossible.

There are only three disciples on Goddess Peak, and the medicinal herbs and rare herbs that cover the entire mountain are ignored.

There are even quite a few royal herbs that are tens of thousands of years old.

There's definitely no need for Zhimeng anymore.

Aren't those the three of them, the senior and junior brothers and sisters?

However, they were only shocked for a few days before they wished Gu Qing would refine pills every day.

The reason is simple: the elixirs Gu Qing refined were all top-grade pills with no side effects.

With such a master here, anyone who dares to stop Gu Qing from refining pills will be met with fierce resistance.

"What a clever and studious little fellow! You have an unparalleled talent for alchemy, it's a pity you became Zhi Meng's apprentice."

Jiang Yu picked up a ninth-grade spiritual pill and felt more and more regretful as she looked at it.

She is also an alchemist, and a divine alchemist who can refine pill patterns.

He is also a weapon refiner, talisman maker, and array master.

"Lord, um, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Gu Qing wanted to slip away.

He didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Yu, but in the past few months, she would come to his place from time to time and stay for a whole day.

He was instructed in alchemy.

This made Gu Qing feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, it's common knowledge that Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng are mortal enemies.

As Zhi Meng's personal disciple, Gu Qing naturally had to maintain a distance.

After all, he doesn't have the protagonist's destiny, nor the protagonist's aura of reduced intelligence.

If you want to maintain good relations with both sides, you don't want to offend both.

Moreover, Jiang Yu's words were clearly an implication that he should switch allegiances.

"Where do you want to go? To find Qingyue for inspiration?"
