128: Chapter 128 Imperial Jade Divine King Platform! Comprehending Divine Powers?

"Hmph! I really don't know if this brat just got lucky, or if he's been distracted by his own lust."

The demon, who had been hiding in the shadows observing the movements of the entire Secret Realm, felt a trace of disappointment at this moment.

Because that Nightmare Flower was something he had deployed through special means.

The purpose was to plant a hidden seed beforehand, to allow for early adaptation.

In this way, when the time came to take over Gu Qingge's physical body, there would likely not be such a strong reaction.

However, his plan had quietly fallen through due to the explanations and reminders given by Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue.

Yet, in his eyes, the Possession of Gu Qingge had already become a foregone conclusion.

No matter how the other party resisted, it would be impossible to change the final outcome.

"It looks like I need to wait for a better opportunity before I can make this body my own."

"However, this brat does have good taste."

"These various beauties are all top-tier stunners."

"In that case, once I seize the chance for Rebirth, I can accept them without any hesitation."

...

"What is your opinion of him now?"

Shen Bingyao stood atop a distant peak, her beautiful eyes casting a sharp gaze toward the place where Gu Qingge was located.

Regarding Gu Qingge, setting aside the schemes and calculations, she felt that the emotions this man gave her truly held a hint of mutual attraction.

Peerlessly handsome and supremely gifted, he could be considered the strongest template for the rise of a Genius!

It's just that...

At the thought of that constraint, Shen Bingyao shook her head gently.

No matter what, her relationship with Gu Qingge would only be a fleeting one of mutual utilization without any real destiny.

As soon as her voice fell, a black "shadow" instantly detached itself from her own shadow.

Then, it respectfully lowered its head and eyes beside her.

Gradually, that black figure began to restore its own appearance.

It was undeniably an extremely beautiful middle-aged woman.

She replied: "Based on the talent and methods he has displayed, it is destined that he will never remain obscure."

"He will surely emerge to dominate the world in these turbulent times!"

"Then, what if he is the legendary Reincarnation of the Demon Lord?"

Shen Bingyao continued: "I would actually prefer for this possibility to be true. Otherwise, the consequences would be far more severe than if he were not the Demon Lord."

"What does Young Miss mean?" the middle-aged woman asked.

"According to previous divinations, the Demon Lord of this generation, even if capable of achieving Heaven-Defying changes, will still become a stepping stone for the rise of my Tianji Pavilion."

"However, the divination did not indicate who exactly that peerless Demon Lord is."

"Furthermore, even after our repeated calculations, we cannot determine what the final fate of Tianji Pavilion will be."

"Whether it will become strong enough to shake the winds and clouds across the various states and ascend to a throne of absolute supremacy."

"Or whether it will fall into decline and silence."

"No one can say for sure."

A faint sorrow lingered between Shen Bingyao's brows; she had never before encountered a divination result that was so chaotic.

It was precisely because of this that she felt he was not sinister and was no ordinary person.

Within their Tianji Pavilion, there were many secrets unknown to outsiders.

Some people are born as those who defy fate.

They rise against the current, question the heavens, use themselves as chess pieces, and take the lead in playing!

All hardships and tribulations are important factors that sharpen them and temper their progress.

However, as a high-ranking member of Tianji Pavilion, after intentional investigation, she was naturally intimately familiar with Gu Qingge's life experiences.

It could be said that his life had absolutely no connection to hardship or tribulation; he had spent his entire life sailing with the wind.

The suffering that ordinary people endure, he had never experienced.

The blessings that ordinary people enjoy, he had fully enjoyed.

As such, it made Shen Bingyao even more uncertain about what was right and wrong.

"What kind of secrets are hidden within you?"

"It really makes one feel infinitely curious!"

"Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if I could pry open your skull and take a look at what exactly is hidden in the depths of your Soul."

As her words echoed, an invisible, majestic Aura suddenly erupted and spread from Shen Bingyao's body.

It could be clearly determined that her identity was not simple.

Likewise, her strength was not as low as she appeared on the surface.

At the very least, the might she displayed in this moment was completely different from what she had shown in front of Gu Qingge; it was like two different people!

She was playing the pig to eat the tiger.

He did not suspect a thing.

She was hunting and scheming.

He seemed like the prey in the drama.

However, the final ending had not yet been revealed, which meant that everything still had a chance for a turn of events!

...

Gu Qingge had not noticed any relevant abnormalities regarding the movements of the various parties.

At present, he had already sent those stingy Cultivators, who wouldn't even pluck a single hair, into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner for safekeeping.

The few he occasionally let go were only those Cultivators who handed over their brocade boxes, thus luckily obtaining a chance at life.

And what truly surprised him was—

In the place where the rays of light had been rippling earlier, a jade platform engraved with golden runes and coiled with a Dragon suddenly rose from the ground!

Judging from its appearance, this jade platform was majestic and imposing; it possessed the bearing of an emperor, as if one sitting upon it could command the four directions and become the Dominator of the world's rise and fall.

Gu Qingge naturally understood that this thing was definitely a treasure that could be encountered but not sought.

Therefore, he wanted to put this object into his spatial ring at the first opportunity.

As for whether it was useful, he could investigate it in the future.

However, his idea was good, but unfortunately, it did not align with reality.

When he attempted to put this item directly into his spatial ring, he discovered that it could not be picked up at all.

Or, to be more precise.

This golden jade platform was simply a treasure that remained here.

Its use was limited to the prerequisite of being here.

"Could it be a benefit related to the Legacy?"

This thought suddenly arose in Gu Qingge's mind.

After all, since this was the Secret Realm where an emperor-level expert had passed away, it was filled with opportunities, as well as immeasurable dangers lurking on the side.

"Youqing, do you know what this thing is?" Gu Qingge suddenly remembered that Shen Youqing had mentioned that the Heavenly Demon Elder had once entered the Secret Realm, and his cultivation was genuinely at the Soul Transformation Stage, so he immediately pointed at the jade seat and asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Youqing shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of this object.

Instead, Demon Empress Ji Zixue, who was in the accompanying group not far away, walked over with a seductive, wolf-like gait.

"Do you want to know why?"

"Hmm."

"However, you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?"

"We'll talk about it later. Furthermore, it won't make you go against your principles, nor will it put you in danger."

"I agree, tell me then." Gu Qingge said indifferently.

Making empty promises, acting like a real man!

One might ask, isn't right and wrong entirely a matter of a single thought?

"This thing is called the huangyu god king platform."

"huangyu god king platform?" Gu Qingge chewed on the term.

"The greatest function of this thing is that it can help facilitate Cultivators in breaking through their Bottleneck."

"In addition, legend has it that this thing also has another hidden Divine Ability."

"However, this Divine Ability requires the user to comprehend it themselves."
