Chapter 16: Tantai Qingxuan, Great Fortune Art!

Time flew by like flowing water; in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Deep within the palace on Daozi Peak, two figures intertwined, like heaven and earth merging, a dragon and phoenix in joyous union, inseparable. The Dao rhythm of Yin and Yang permeated the air, and the Dao sound of heaven and earth reverberated like thunder.

After an unknown period, the two figures gradually separated, spiritual light receded, anomalies vanished, and the Dao sound also dissipated.

As Dual Cultivation concluded, Gu Shengge slowly opened his eyes. His double pupils shimmered with a peculiar sight: a Q-like figure with a human face, a bird body, green snakes hanging from its ears, and two green snakes under its feet, faintly visible.

It was the Xuanming Divine Nascent Soul.

The power of the Supreme Dao Body’s primordial Yin far exceeded Gu Shengge’s imagination, and the first Dual Cultivation greatly benefited him.

Because Tantai Qingxuan's Dao foundation was the Supreme Yin Profound Yin, coupled with her being the Supreme Primordial Yin, Gu Shengge, leveraging this Supreme Yin power, effortlessly transformed the sacred pill representing the Xuanming Ancestral Witch into a Divine Nascent Soul!

His double pupils returned to clarity. Gu Shengge looked at Tantai Qingxuan, who had also awakened, a faint smile gracing his handsome face as he gently asked:

“Revered Master, how do you feel?”

Tantai Qingxuan carefully recalled the unique sensations brought by the Dual Cultivation, an experience she had never had before.

After a while, the Cold and elegant Daoist’s lips slightly parted, her tone as indifferent as ever.

“Although it’s very novel, this has nothing to do with breaking my emotionless Dao, right?”

“No, it’s related, and very much so…” Gu Shengge patiently explained to Tantai Qingxuan.

Although Tantai Qingxuan was born emotionless and desireless, this was merely an exaggeration; only dead people are truly emotionless and desireless.

Compared to ordinary people, Tantai Qingxuan’s emotional desires were extremely low, almost non-existent.

For example, if an ordinary person’s emotional desire is 10, then Tantai Qingxuan’s is 0.01.

Since he wanted to break her emotionless Dao, Gu Shengge naturally had to develop Tantai Qingxuan’s extremely faint emotional desires.

As the saying goes, human desires are endless, and one develops a taste for more.

The most primal desires often stimulate a living being’s emotions to the greatest extent.

After listening to Gu Shengge’s explanation, Tantai Qingxuan seemed to understand vaguely, but her extremely low emotional desires made her indifferent to it.

In her opinion, she just needed to follow Gu Shengge’s method.

Looking at the Cold and elegant Daoist’s indifferent expression, Gu Shengge’s face showed helplessness.

Alas, it’s a long and arduous journey!

It seems this emotionless Dao isn’t so easy to break after all.

Gu Shengge: “Revered Master, from now on, you will live on my Daozi Peak, which will also make it convenient for us to Cultivate our relationship.”

“En.” Tantai Qingxuan nodded lightly, then closed her eyes again, entering quiet cultivation.

Uh…

Looking at the Cold and elegant Daoist who started Cultivating without a word, Gu Shengge didn’t know what to say.

To be honest, he felt that Tantai Qingxuan was less like a person and more like a Puppet that needed to be controlled.

If no commands were given to Tantai Qingxuan, she could even keep Cultivating and stay in seclusion indefinitely, only emerging when she needed to replenish Spirit Stone resources.

“Emotionless and desireless, truly pathetic.”

Just as Gu Shengge finished sighing, a flash of insight struck him, realizing something was amiss.

If Tantai Qingxuan was to break her emotionless Dao, she couldn’t Cultivate the Supreme Forgotten Love Dao Scripture anymore; that thing only made one more emotionless the more one Cultivated it!

Thinking of this, Gu Shengge quickly woke up the Cold and elegant Daoist from her meditative cultivation.

“Revered Master, you can no longer Cultivate the Supreme Forgotten Love Dao Scripture. Give me the original scripture, and I will find you a new Cultivation Technique.”

“Okay.” Tantai Qingxuan took out the original scripture from her Purple Mansion.

Wait, Purple Mansion!!

Gu Shengge looked at the Cold and elegant Daoist with utter astonishment. No, when did she Breakthrough to Nascent Divinity Celestial Being!

“Revered Master, when did you Breakthrough to Nascent Divinity Celestial Being?”

“Forgot.” Tantai Qingxuan replied indifferently when she heard him, as if Breakthrough to Nascent Divinity Celestial Being was insignificant to her.

Gu Shengge was stunned. No wonder her primordial Yin was so powerful; it turned out to be a Soul Transformation-level Supreme Primordial Yin.

Previously, when he heard Sect Master Emperor Yang’s introduction, he always thought she was Nascent Soul Great Perfection. It turns out his Revered Master had been hiding her cultivation!

This was the true hidden Old Ancestor!

“Revered Master, since you’ve Breakthrough, why didn’t you report it to the Sect?”

Tantai Qingxuan: “No one asked me.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge was utterly speechless.

Good heavens! All this time, people called her Qingxuan True Lord, Qingxuan True Lord, and everyone thought she was a Nascent Soul True Lord, but you tell me you’re a Nascent Divinity Celestial Being!

What a joke!

If anyone else Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, not holding a Celestial Being banquet would be considered low-key.

Unlike Tantai Qingxuan, who Breakthrough and told no one; her enemies would surely be doomed!

Gu Shengge continued to ask: “Then what Realm are you in now, Revered Master?”

Tantai Qingxuan sensed briefly, then casually replied: “Dharma Idol Great Perfection.”

Hiss~ Gu Shengge sucked in a cold breath, even more shocked.

No, how long has Tantai Qingxuan been Cultivating? She’s not even a hundred years old yet, and she has already completed all five Soul Transformation Realms, reaching Dharma Idol Great Perfection!

The Cultivation speed of the Supreme Dao Body is truly terrifying!

After the shock, Gu Shengge was filled with joy again.

Having a Dharma Idol Great Perfection Soul Transformation Celestial Being as a Cauldron, his own cultivation would also greatly improve in the future. How could he not be happy?

“Before the new Cultivation Technique comes out, Revered Master, please don’t Cultivate for now. If you feel bored, you can…”

Gu Shengge was about to say that Tantai Qingxuan could go find familiar Fellow Daoists to discuss the Dao, but then he thought about it: she had very few friends in Qiankun Taoist Sect, besides a few Disciples, only the Old Ancestor who was still in seclusion.

Actually, thinking about it, Tantai Qingxuan was quite pitiful.

As a Mortal, her parents died, her siblings abandoned her, and even her husband’s family was wiped out by bandits.

Even after coming to Qiankun Taoist Sect, she Cultivated alone. The few Disciples she took in were forced upon her and didn’t care about her either.

Perhaps Tantai Qingxuan didn't know what loneliness was, being all alone, yet it still evoked pity.

Immediately, Gu Shengge changed his tone and smiled: “Revered Master, let me take you to visit the Mortal world. After all, the warmth of human life is the most comforting to Mortals.”

Tantai Qingxuan nodded. Gu Shengge told her to wait a moment, he would be ready soon.

Gu Shengge’s mind sank into his Sea of Consciousness, communicating with the jade disc of creation, preparing to deduce a Supreme Sentient Dao Scripture, and also ensuring that Tantai Qingxuan’s cultivation would not be damaged and her Realm would not drop after specializing in it.

“Hmm?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the jade disc of creation, hundreds of characters appeared on it, forming a Divine Ability secret technique.

Named “Great Fortune Art.”

It was a Heavenly Dao Divine Ability deduced by the jade disc of creation based on its ability to plunder the Luck of the Son of Heaven’s Mandate and strengthen itself, after refining the villain System.

The jade disc of creation infused Gu Shengge with the intricacies of the Great Fortune Art. In an instant, he mastered this Heavenly Dao Divine Ability.

Once the Great Fortune Art was cast, it could plunder the Luck of living beings, causing them misfortune and frequent disasters.

If a Cultivator had their Luck plundered, it would trigger the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, and they could even die and have their Dao dissipate if they were not careful.

It could also be used to bless oneself; those with profound Luck would find Cultivation as if aided by gods, pick up treasures just by walking, and enemies’ attacks wouldn’t even come close.

It could also bestow Luck upon others, allowing them to enjoy blessings, turn misfortune into good fortune, and have continuous good Luck.

There are many colors of Luck: gold is the most noble, red is second, purple is weaker, green is ordinary, white is common, while gray and black indicate bad Luck.

Gu Shengge used the Great Fortune Art to peek at his own Luck and was almost blinded.

It was so golden it couldn’t be any more golden, without a single trace of impurity!
