284: Chapter 282: Miscellaneous Matters

In the Qiongsang Domain, the entire Qiankun Taoist Sect was in high spirits. Gu Shengge had successively conquered several Realms, making those worlds vassals of the Qiongsang Domain. The current Qiongsang Domain could be described as unprecedentedly powerful.

After the news of Gu Shengge's conquest of several Nine Realms Alliance Realms reached them, those Sects that originally had grievances against the Qiankun Taoist Sect completely fell silent.

They could figure out with their toes that the strength of those World Lords must not be weak; at the very least, they had to be Hedao Realm experts like Jehovah. So many Hedao Realms had been slain by Gu Shengge; heaven only knew what level of power he had reached now.

At this moment, whenever the Qiankun Taoist Sect was mentioned, even the handymen clearing weeds in the Spirit Medicine fields would unconsciously puff out their chests.

Gu Shengge returned to Qingxuan Peak, and this time he brought Jun Mengqing and Pei Yuhan directly back to Qingxuan Peak.

Emperor Yang Mu Qianyang heard that Gu Shengge was back and had been waiting for him to come report, yet for half a month, he hadn't seen even a glimpse of Gu Shengge.

In the first month, Gu Shengge finally appeared, his face somewhat pale, looking listless and lacking energy.

Mu Qianyang saw him from a distance, standing at the foot of the mountain stretching, and said irritably, "Gu Shengge! You little brat, you hole up in Qingxuan Peak as soon as you get back. What exactly are you trying to do!"

Gu Shengge was quite embarrassed: "Haven't I been tired from running around outside these past few years? Uncle Mu, why are you being so fierce? You scared me to death!"

Mu Qianyang's gaze was heavy: "Bah! You little brat, seeing your ghostly appearance, this Emperor knows you haven't been up to anything good. In any case, come to the Sect Master's Hall first and explain the specific situation of those worlds and your thoughts to the Sect Elders, or you'll definitely be in for it!"

Inside the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace, Jun Mengqing and Pei Yuhan were hiding in a corner palace, snickering.

They had been living on Qingxuan Peak, and specifically in Tantai Qingxuan's palace. Since entering that day, they hadn't come out... and sometimes strange sounds would drift out. Pei Yuhan had long since grown used to it over the years and appeared quite calm, but Jun Mengqing's eyes were burning with anger, and she kept muttering something under her breath.

Now that Gu Shengge was being dealt with by Emperor Yang Mu Qianyang, they felt exceptionally refreshed.

While the two were gloating, Tantai Qingxuan also walked out. A wave of cold air hit them, making both of them shiver. They were still very fearful of Tantai Qingxuan, not just because of her powerful Realm, but also because of the extreme, frigid aura she carried. Every time they met her gaze, both felt a near-death sensation as if their Bloodline and bodies were being frozen solid.

As Gu Shengge's Sword Attendant, Pei Yuhan was also quite close to Tantai Qingxuan and hurriedly said, "Peak Master, we had no intention of offending the Daoist Child Highness. Please forgive us, Peak Master."

Tantai Qingxuan's emotions were indifferent, her voice steady: "This seat also has no intention of blaming you, but in your words, you must respect the Daoist Child Highness. Otherwise, Qingxuan Peak will have no room for you!"

Pei Yuhan quickly complied: "Palace Master, our feelings for the Daoist Child can be witnessed by Heaven and Earth!"

Tantai Qingxuan did not look at her, her gaze falling on Jun Mengqing.

Jun Mengqing's own status was quite extraordinary, so naturally, she was indignant. However, as the situation favored the stronger party, she could only reply bitterly, "Peak Master, this matter was my lack of consideration, but is it really so serious? Why are you so harsh with us?"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Tantai Qingxuan's eyes as she withdrew her gaze: "Don't you want to live on Qingxuan Peak? This seat can agree, but you must listen to me in all things. Furthermore, do not harbor any thoughts of harming the Daoist Child, or this seat won't mind letting you experience a feeling worse than death!"

The two only felt their bodies tremble and their backs go cold. With Tantai Qingxuan's prestige fully unleashed, very few could truly withstand that kind of pressure from her.

Especially now with such a massive gap in their Realms, the pressure they endured was increasingly terrifying. It was only because Tantai Qingxuan was restraining her power that she didn't push them to the brink of collapse.

At this time, Gu Shengge was unaware of what was happening on Qingxuan Peak. He was discussing the control of those Realms with the Elders of the Qiankun Taoist Sect. It was essentially impossible to enslave vast worlds, and wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. The best way was assimilation, giving them a sense of belonging and identity. This way, after a generation or two, they would naturally identify with the Qiankun Taoist Sect.

Furthermore, the goal of the Qiankun Taoist Sect was not to rule over ordinary commoners; what the Qiankun Taoist Sect wanted were those cultivation seeds with Aptitude for Cultivation.

After speaking for a while, Gu Shengge cupped his hands: "Everyone, I am not in good condition today, so I shall take my leave first."

Mu Qianyang said irritably, "Gu Shengge, stay right there! What could you possibly have to do? The future of the Qiankun Taoist Sect is to be handed over to you. Why aren't you getting familiar with it now!"

Hearing this, Gu Shengge said helplessly, "Your Highness Emperor Yang, your Lifespan is still so abundant. Why are you in such a hurry to push me into power? It's better if you work harder; I'm still thinking about venturing out to the Zhongtian Region in a while!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and Mu Qianyang's eyes also flickered. The current Qiankun Taoist Sect was already extremely powerful. If Gu Shengge could manage it steadily, even if he went to the Zhongtian Region in the future, he would be a regional hegemon.

But on the other hand, the Foundation of both Gu Shengge and the Qiankun Taoist Sect seemed too shallow. He still needed a long time to grow, and the Qiankun Taoist Sect also needed a very, very long time to completely integrate the various worlds and the Qiongsang Domain... Mu Qianyang remained silent for a long time before waving his hand helplessly: "Fine, fine! You little brat have a boundless future, and the Sect shouldn't hold you back. Remember to tell us when you leave. Now get lost!"

Gu Shengge cupped his hands to the Elders and then quickly walked out of the Qiankun Hall.

It wasn't that he didn't want to manage the affairs of the Qiankun Taoist Sect, but Emperor Yang was still in his prime. He was fully capable of leading the Qiankun Taoist Sect; it wasn't time for a change of leadership yet.

If he interfered too much in the Sect's affairs at this time, differences would eventually arise. Where there are differences, there is conflict, and where there is conflict, there are naturally factions. At that time, both Emperor Yang and himself would be coerced by two forces, losing their autonomy, leading to a situation where the Daoist Child and Emperor Yang were at odds.

That was a situation Gu Shengge was unwilling to see, so... forget it! For now, he didn't need to worry about anything; he could just focus on adventuring and Cultivating. With Emperor Yang's overall planning and strategy in the rear, it was simply too comfortable.

Returning to Qingxuan Peak, Gu Shengge was astonished to find the graceful Pei Yuhan, with her clothes half-open, actually in Tantai Qingxuan's palace, while Tantai Qingxuan herself was nowhere to be seen.
