122: The Supreme Emperor's Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot

Gu Changge's gaze was still fixed on Ling Xi's fleeing figure when a crisp System prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Detected a special Disciple target — Ling Xi, the Reincarnation of a Female Emperor from the Tianlan Great World. A Disciple recruitment mission has been triggered: accept Ling Xi as your third Disciple."

"Mission Reward: Law of Time Dao."

"Reward: Invincible Domain range expanded to ten million li."

"Reward: Supreme Emperor Weapon Devouring Heaven Demonic Jar."

"Hmm?"

Gu Changge's eyebrows suddenly raised. The expansion of his Invincible Domain to ten million li was merely icing on the cake for him, but the words "Law of Time Dao" stirred ripples in his heart.

The Time Dao, ah, that was the most supreme existence among the myriad Dao of the Heavens!

Ordinary Cultivators, let alone mastering it, found even peeking into it as difficult as ascending to the Heavens. How many Great Emperors spent their entire lives only to catch a fleeting glimpse at the edge of the River of Time? Yet, the System directly offered the complete Time Dao. This gesture was simply too grand.

And when he saw the Supreme Emperor Weapon Devouring Heaven Demonic Jar, Gu Changge couldn't help but inwardly complain.

Good heavens, System, are you not even bothering to put on a show anymore?

The Devouring Heaven Demonic Jar perfectly aligned with the Origin of Ling Xi's previous life's Heaven Devouring Dao Art. This was clearly tailor-made, as if afraid he wouldn't take this Disciple!

The little black bird on his shoulder seemed to sense the change in his mood. It gently pecked his collar with its sharp beak, its black bean-like eyes fixed in Ling Xi's direction.

It was clearly curious if Gu Changge would accept her as a Disciple.

Gu Changge chuckled, flicking the little black bird's head with his fingertip: "Let's see this girl's temperament first."

No sooner had he spoken than he saw Ling Xi suddenly stop in front. She was afraid her father would chase too quickly and fall, so she subconsciously turned back to check on Ling Kun's movements.

However, her feet didn't stop in time, and her body lurched forward like a kite with a broken string. Three steps ahead was where Gu Changge and the other two were standing, observing!

Ling Xi's pupils constricted slightly. Her Foundation Establishment Realm Spiritual Qi hastily surged to her tiptoes, trying to use the afterimage of "Tianlan Steps" to steady herself. But her Physical Body's Spiritual Qi simply couldn't keep up with her Soul's reaction. She only felt a lightness around her waist, and her entire being still crashed towards Gu Changge!

Just as her sleeve was about to brush past Gu Changge's moon-white long robe, Gu Changge slowly raised his right hand, his palm pressing forward in the air.

There were no earth-shattering Spiritual Qi fluctuations. Ling Xi, who was rushing at extreme speed, seemed to have hit a soft, warm cotton wall. Her figure abruptly stopped, and even the lingering momentum of her stumble was silently dissipated, leaving her standing steadily in place.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! My daughter is truly reckless and almost disturbed you three Young Masters!"

Ling Kun finally caught up, panting heavily, sweat on his temples soaking the collar of his brocade robe. He bowed apologetically while reaching out to pull Ling Xi's arm, his face full of embarrassment.

"This child has been spoiled by us and is always rash in her actions. Please forgive her! I'll have her apologize to you right away!"

"It's fine."

Gu Changge withdrew his hand from the air, his gaze falling on Ling Xi's flushed cheeks: "Just try to watch where you're going next time you run."

Ling Xi pulled away from her father's hand and retreated half a step, her shoes making a faint scraping sound on the bluestone slab.

Her fingertips, hanging at her side, quietly curled up. While no one was paying attention, she secretly activated her newly awakened Soul perception.

When Gu Changge made his move just now, that gentle yet irresistible force actually made the remnants of the Emperor Dao in the depths of her Soul tremble slightly. This was definitely not something an ordinary Cultivator could achieve.

Gu Changge took in the doubt in her eyes and the subtle movement of her fingertips, inwardly chuckling: 'Little girl, with your incomplete remnant Soul and your current state of not being fully fused with your Physical Body, you want to probe my true cultivation? These little tricks aren't enough.'

With a thought, his aura instantly changed, concealing the cultivation of all three of them.

"Strange..."

A hint of confusion arose in Ling Xi's heart. She raised a hand to rub her slightly heavy temples.

When she looked at Gu Changge and the other two again, she found them to be as ordinary as could be.

She muttered to herself: 'Could it be that my Divine Soul hasn't fully merged with my Physical Body since I just awakened my memories, causing me to have an illusion?'

Yes, it had only been three days since she woke up. She hadn't even sorted out her Emperor Dao insights, so it was normal for her perception to be off.

Although she only had a Foundation Establishment Realm Physical Body, her Emperor-level Soul Foundation was still there. The cultivation fluctuations of ordinary Cultivators couldn't escape her perception.

The two young men beside her were indeed Foundation Establishment Realm, their auras solid but unremarkable. But the man in the moon-white robe at the very front, did he only have Purple Mansion Realm cultivation?

In her confusion, she concentrated and probed again. Gu Changge's aura had changed!

The clear Purple Mansion Realm fluctuations from before instantly became Cave Heaven Realm. Although the Spiritual Qi flow was deliberately restrained, a hint of profoundness far exceeding those of the same realm could still be detected.

A hint of understanding flashed in Ling Xi's eyes. So, he was hiding his cultivation.

But such methods, in front of her Emperor Soul that once governed a Domain, were no different from being completely exposed, were they?

She chuckled inwardly: 'He's just a Cave Heaven Realm Cultivator who's good at concealing his aura, and he wants to play tricks in front of me?'

Little did she know, she had already seen through him completely.

Gu Changge looked at her constantly changing expression, a faint smile playing on his lips: 'Go ahead and guess. If you guess correctly, I lose.'

He had originally hesitated. A Female Emperor Reincarnation would surely be unruly and difficult to tame. Taking her as a Disciple would probably mean a lot of trouble.

But then he thought it over and found it interesting: nurturing a Female Emperor who once stood at the peak of the world to grow again, watching her break free from the shackles of her past life, re-establish her Emperor Dao, and even break through her former limits to step into the Immortal Domain—that would indeed be an interesting endeavor.

Moreover, the "Law of Time Dao" given by the System was truly irresistible to him.

"Forget it, raising a Female Emperor for fun isn't bad either."

Gu Changge made up his mind, his gaze falling on Ling Xi.

At this moment, Ling Xi was also staring at Gu Changge, pondering in her heart.

To reach the Cave Heaven Realm at such a young age, he was already a rare existence among the younger generation across the entire Tianlan Great World.

If she could take him under her wing and guide him with her remaining Emperor Dao insights, he might become a helpful force in time. It might not be impossible.

Her gaze swept over the two people beside Gu Changge, and her brows relaxed slightly.

Although these two only had Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, their auras were steady and solid. There was no hint of superficiality in the flow of Spiritual Qi around them, indicating that their Foundation was extremely solid, definitely not comparable to those ordinary Cultivators whose cultivation was piled up by Medicinal Pills.

"I am the Peak Master of Zizhu Peak of the Azure Profound Sect. Although your cultivation is not high, I see a stubborn tenacity in you. You are unwilling to marry, and you are determined to walk the path of cultivation. Are you willing to take me as your Master?"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present was stunned.

Ling Kun's mouth hung open, unable to speak for a long time.

Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes—Master would actually take the initiative to accept a Disciple? This woman must be extraordinary!

Ling Xi was even more astonished, her eyes wide, suspecting she had misheard.

She had just been contemplating whether or not to take this "Cave Heaven Realm Cultivator" as her Disciple, but she never expected the other party to directly propose taking her as a Disciple!

This reversal came too suddenly, making her momentarily forget to react. She only felt the temperature of her cheeks rise a few more degrees.

This chapter is a bit late, I apologize for keeping you all waiting. I am truly sorry.
