148: Chapter 148 A prodigy? He's merely at the threshold of my being.

As the wind passed quietly by her ears, Meng Wenxuan reviewed her life in her heart—a life that felt like a dream, yet was filled with tumultuous waves.

"I possess the Peerless Sword Bone, which is no less valuable than any Sacred Body. But as this news broke, it attracted the covetous gaze of Liu Ruyan, a direct descendant of the Supreme Elder of the All-Saint Thunder Sect."

The All-Saint Thunder Sect is one of the strongest Sects in the Northern Region of Ling Prefecture.

In recent years, as powerhouses within the Sect have emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, rising rapidly, its status has soared accordingly!

In contrast, the Thousand Ice Sect where she resides is merely one of the subsidiary forces attached to the All-Saint Thunder Sect.

And she was once regarded as the hope for the Thousand Ice Sect to grow and strengthen.

But when the All-Saint Thunder Sect tossed down a few "bones" as charity, the Sect Master of the Thousand Ice Sect easily sold her out.

This led to an unprovoked disaster, placing her at the center of a deadly vortex from which she could not escape.

After returning from this trial, the matter of bone-digging and imprisonment would begin.

In other words, there was not much time left for her.

"Sacrificing my life, digging out my bone for her, destroying my entire cultivation in one fell swoop."

"Truly a fine tactic!"

As the Senior Sister of the Thousand Ice Sect, Meng Wenxuan asked herself, she had never failed the Thousand Ice Sect.

Yet in the end, she fell to the point where her Peerless Sword Bone was dug out, her cultivation was completely crippled, and she was imprisoned in the Blood Soul Pool, where the Thousand Ice Sect had always confined traitors and enemies.

Fortunately, human plans are no match for heaven's will. A coincidental Opportunity allowed her to escape by Luck, and later she obtained a Spirit Pill that restored her body's injuries, restarting her path of cultivation.

In the original predetermined trajectory, she rose from there, practicing the demonic path of slaughter!

But in the end, she could not escape failure in her schemes. Throughout her life of seeking the Dao, she tried to grasp the heart of fate alone, only to die in a life-and-death struggle.

"It seems this Gu Qingge is very likely an intruder, and also the person predestined for me to break through my fate."

"If he can be utilized, it wouldn't hurt to try."

This Peerless Sword Bone was destined for a path of great glory.

She lost her Peerless Sword Bone, and her cultivation ultimately remained at the Peak of the Emperor Realm.

Although she could slay powerhouses of the Venerable Realm, she ultimately could not break through the shackles of her Realm.

This also became one of the reasons for her eventual death.

The cultivation world never believes in suffering or tears; strength determines everything!

Right now, the All-Saint Thunder Sect's influence spans the Northern Region, and in Ling Prefecture, and even other regions, it holds a certain level of influence.

Relying solely on her current cultivation at the Peak of the Golden Core Stage, wanting to kill Liu Ruyan, who is at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, in a one-on-one fight is as easy as flipping a palm.

However, the other party also has a powerful protector hidden in the shadows.

The gap in their Realms is something she cannot overcome with a desperate fight right now.

Therefore, everything needs to be considered carefully.

On the other side, after receiving the message from the System, Gu Qingge also went through some calculations in his heart.

In the end, he decided that such a good thing could not be missed; he must strike first.

"System, give me a location." Gu Qingge silently thought in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Ding, the location information of the reborn Child of Destiny has been sent to the host. This information location will maintain update progress for one month. It will be cancelled after the deadline. Please seize the Opportunity, host, and take down the Child of Destiny in one go.]

"Since there is a Child of Destiny with villain attributes, then there will inevitably appear a Child of Destiny who is a Prodigy protagonist."

"Even if the other party is a Prodigy, so what?"

"Prodigy? That's just the threshold to meet me."

The blood-colored demon heaven halberd in Gu Qingge's hand swept out with the power to dominate the universe. With one man and one stance, open and bold, his lonely shadow stood proudly, towering over the world.

A cold shadow under the moon, shining brightly upon the world.

The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons was also rendered unique by the quiet brilliance of the bright moon.

"How do you think we should act?" The petite and charming figure of White Empress walked over slowly.

Her figure was graceful and alluring, unparalleled in the world.

This place was her territory. While it wasn't completely barren, there were no Yao Beasts or evil entities that could threaten her status.

However, further away, there were "neighbors" whose strength was in no way inferior to hers.

And none of them were easy to deal with.

Fortunately, White Empress herself possessed powerful strength and could suppress the surrounding neighbors with immense deterrence, allowing her to settle down in this corner of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons.

"Oh? What action?" Gu Qingge asked, somewhat confused.

"Of course, it's seizing a Treasure Trove!" White Empress's lips curled into a slight smile, and her clear, watery eyes gazed at him. The expression was as if she were looking at a treasure within easy reach.

Hearing this, Gu Qingge's heart skipped a beat.

Damn, he almost forgot about this.

Before, he had painted a picture for her, but if there were no corresponding subsequent conditions, it would be easy to suffer a backlash.

But at this moment, Gu Qingge was also very clever.

If he revealed the truth, he would definitely be the one in trouble.

Although this cute snake in front of him looked easy to deceive, he didn't believe that a powerhouse who had stepped into the Soul Transformation Stage could be simple-minded.

Hands stained with blood and countless slaughters—that is reality!

"Of course we have to go find it." Gu Qingge's eyes flickered slightly, and a kind and gentle smile appeared on his face.

He didn't look like a big bad wolf coaxing an innocent girl at all, but rather like a big brother who felt like a spring breeze.

"However, before that, we need to gather some essential items required for opening it, so that we can achieve our ultimate goal."

"Then what do we need to prepare?"

At this moment, White Empress's pure eyes sparkled with crystalline clarity.

"Blood Demon Tear Yao Flower, Supreme Profound Forget-Me-Not Grass..." Gu Qingge blabbered nonsense.

Regardless of the rest, the names just needed to sound impressive.

Whether these things exist or not is not important.

On the contrary, not having them is more appropriate than actually having them.

Although they don't exist, he can make them exist.

If they really existed, and she knew something about them, then he would be completely screwed.

After all, as a beautiful snake demon whose cultivation had reached the Soul Transformation Stage, she clearly had plenty of strength and means.

He shouldn't try to play with fire, only to end up burning himself and dying here.

"You wouldn't be lying to me, would you? Harboring ulterior motives in secret?" White Empress reached out with her fair, jade-like hand to caress his cheek, her beautiful face filled with innocence.

But behind this superficial cuteness, there was always a sense of brewing changes and chilling, murderous treachery that made Gu Qingge feel uneasy.

"Please rest assured, in all my dealings, I only harbor ulterior motives towards mature women and women with the potential to be mature."

"For someone with a goofy and cute attribute, I really have no interest whatsoever."

"Goofy and cute? Does this count as a compliment?"

White Empress leaned closer to him, her delicate nose almost touching him, and she sniffed his scent, asking vaguely.

That flawless, beautiful face was fully exposed to Gu Qingge's view.

Waves of fragrant wind swept over, and her ample, soft, heaven-sent gifts gently touched the deepest part of his heart.

"Yes." Gu Qingge nodded with the gaze of an upright gentleman.
