48: Chapter 48 The Empress Tianxuan, Destined by Heaven

Upon hearing this, Hua Minsha's face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver.

The other party had actually gone back on his word, performing such despicable acts!

However, this did not change Gu Qingge's original intention in the slightest.

In an instant, a vast and boundless Devilish Qi surged into Hua Minsha's mind.

"You, despicable and shameless!"

Hua Minsha cursed loudly, twisting his body as he desperately tried to resist the power invading his mind.

Unfortunately, it was all to no avail.

Gu Qingge's hand seemed to have suction cups, imprisoning all his delusional thoughts of escaping.

"Thank you."

"This time, it is sincere."

"After all, for a Demonic Cultivator, your words sound more like a grand compliment."

Once it was over, Gu Qingge offered his most sincere thanks to the deathly pale and weak Hua Minsha.

Facing Gu Qingge's mockery, Hua Minsha felt extremely aggrieved.

After a moment of thought, he simply put aside his cowardice and wanted to self-destruct at all costs.

But Commander Nalan Yanyun, who was on the side, had long been prepared for this and did not give him any chance at all.

She acted decisively, crippling his Dantian.

His entire cultivation, just like Yue Guanhai's, flowed away like water.

On the other side, Gu Qingge was digesting Hua Minsha's memories.

Primarily the memories related to Peak Master Di Tianxuan that the other party had mentioned.

"So that's how it is."

After seeing everything, a look of realization flashed clearly in Gu Qingge's eyes.

Just as Hua Minsha had said, Peak Master Di Tianxuan was not currently hunting down a Prodigy who had defected from the Sect.

Instead, she was in a hidden location, seeking a Breakthrough in her Realm.

The so-called pursuit was merely a cover-up to deceive the public.

On the surface, she was at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

In reality, she had already touched the Bottleneck of the Soul Transformation Stage, reaching the Half-step Deity Transformation Stage!

The reason for doing so was also provided to Gu Qingge in the memories obtained from searching Hua Minsha's soul.

She had once been a Disciple of the Demonic Sect!

Or rather, she had once been sent by the Qingxuan Sect to act as a spy within a Demonic Sect.

In the end, although that Demonic Sect was destroyed, Peak Master Di Tianxuan had received a temporary period of generous treatment and rewards from the Qingxuan Sect.

However, her experiences in the Demonic Sect had faintly become a stain on her that was difficult to wash away.

She was often secretly targeted as an object of suspicion by the Sect.

It wasn't until Peak Master Di Tianxuan relied on her own monstrous cultivation talent, as well as arduous slaughter and desperate efforts, that she finally became the Peak Master of Baizhan Peak.

Once she held power and her cultivation became unfathomably deep, those discussions faintly faded away.

However, these were only signs on the surface.

Hidden beneath the surface was the suspicion from the high-level members of the Sect.

They suspected her of having ulterior motives, believing her presence in the Qingxuan Sect was just another form of her being an undercover agent.

After realizing this situation, Peak Master Di Tianxuan even often wondered if she had done something wrong.

Once one enters the Demonic Path, it is difficult to ever wash away the demonic body in this lifetime.

"Peak Master Di Tianxuan... she is not a simple woman."

"She has ambition, and she has strength. Furthermore, she knows how to endure and wait for the right moment, temporarily avoiding the limelight."

"If such a character could be brought under my command, she would surely be an excellent asset."

However, Gu Qingge did not let this go to his head.

The gap in their Realms was too great.

Although he possessed the formidable strength to contend with a Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, in a one-on-one fight, facing a Half-step Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator was simply courting death.

Especially a female Cultivator at the Half-step Deity Transformation Stage who was very vengeful!

If he provoked her rashly and could not suppress her with force, he might have to live in her nightmare for the rest of his life.

"As expected, the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Sect was no accident."

"Even a Half-step Deity Transformation Stage expert needs to temporarily endure. Let alone Rou'er, who is at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage."

"It seems I knew too little about the Qingxuan Sect before."

However, the word "regret" had never existed in Gu Qingge's life dictionary.

Even if the Qingxuan Sect was a behemoth, so what?

Watching them build high towers, watching them feast with guests, watching their towers collapse.

Since the Qingxuan Sect could be dragged down from its position as a Holy Land, it was not impossible for him, Gu Qingge, to slaughter them all, leaving not a single blade of grass behind.

While thinking, Gu Qingge noticed that in a corner of Hua Minsha's memory, there existed the Cultivation Technique that Peak Master Di Tianxuan practiced, the Supreme Emotion-Forgetting Technique.

The Supreme Emotion-Forgetting Technique focused on the Path of Ruthlessness.

And the prerequisite for breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage was to sever the emotional ties of this life, and enter the Immortal Path by forgetting emotions!

By forgetting emotions, one becomes the supreme self!

By forgetting emotions, one Cultivates the immortal and indestructible technique of longevity!

"The Supreme Emotion-Forgetting requires having emotions first, then severing the emotional ties to step onto the Immortal Path."

"And she, up until now, has not yet had the Opportunity to truly have contact with the opposite sex."

The reason Hua Minsha knew so much about Peak Master Di Tianxuan's affairs was also mixed with some personal reasons.

He wanted to be the first person to eat the crab.

Or to be more precise, he fantasized about becoming the first man in Peak Master Di Tianxuan's life.

Completing a monstrous love affair that transcended the worldly emotions between master and Disciple.

Unfortunately, he died before his career could even begin; at the Early Stage of his Dao, he capsized in the gutter and perished at the hands of Gu Qingge.

Just at this moment, the Self-Reliance System sent a notification sound.

"[Ding.]"

"[Detected that the Host has explored on their own, made contact with the Daughter of Destiny, and intends to forcibly plunder the Opportunity of the Son of Destiny, Pei Xingxiu. A random task is now issued.]"

"[Random Task: Become Dao Companions with the Daughter of Destiny, Peak Master Di Tianxuan.]"

"[Task Reward: A wisp of Chaos True Source, one Qingluan beast pet egg.]"

"[Chaos True Source: ??? (The Host's strength is too weak to absorb or refine, cannot be displayed)]"

"[Qingluan beast pet egg: An unhatched Qingluan bird. After hatching, you can obtain a Qingluan bird with an initial strength Realm of Half-step Deity Transformation Stage.]"

"Chaos True Source?"

"Although the System didn't introduce this item, why does it suddenly sound so high-end!"

Anything involving Chaos, Dao Laws, and so on, for a Cultivator walking a Heaven-Defying path, is never a small matter.

For instance, when fighting enemies before, he had never used the Five Elements Dao Laws.

This was not because he was unskilled at using them; on the contrary, it was because he could manipulate them so freely that he could avoid leaking even a trace.

Unless he had absolute certainty of victory, or was truly in a life-or-death crisis, he did not intend to use them.

Dao Laws were not something a Golden Core Stage Cultivator like him could comprehend or possess.

If it got out, it wouldn't be demonstrating his prestige, but rather courting his own death.

He understood the principle that an innocent man is innocent, but possession of a treasure can lead to trouble.

He understood even better that geniuses who die young are everywhere, and no one would feel pity for that.

"And there is also the Qingluan beast pet egg, its initial Realm is actually the Half-step Deity Transformation Stage?!"

At this moment, only one thought took root in Gu Qingge's heart.

Peak Master Di Tianxuan must absolutely not be missed!

"Although Peak Master Di Tianxuan is not yet secured, don't I also have a peerless female Prodigy by my side who was once at the Soul Transformation Stage?"

"To neglect one for the other, is that not fooling myself and hoping to fool others?"

At the same time, Yao Ling'er covered her mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief and sneezed gently.

For some inexplicable reason, she had the feeling of being stared at by someone, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
