Chapter 43: Void Realm King Beast Remnant, Setting a Trap for Jun Mengqing~

The treasure vault located deep within the Xuantian Tower was a Secret Realm, filled with countless rare and exotic treasures, as numerous as stars, all appearing as dazzling, eye-catching orbs of light.

“Greetings, Building Lord.” x4

The four Nascent Divinity Celestial Beings guarding the Xuantian Treasure Vault simultaneously greeted their Building Lord.

The Master of Xuantian Pavilion nodded, and Gu Shengge looked at the four guardians, secretly astonished.

The Aura they exuded was much stronger than even Dao Sect’s Emperor Yang, all of them being Soul Transformation, or even Divine-Grade Nascent Divinity Celestial Beings.

The Master of Xuantian Pavilion handed a jade slip to Gu Shengge, telling him that it was the Xuantian Treasure Vault’s roster, recording 17,839 types of treasures collected in the vault.

Any one of these treasures, if placed outside, would be a rare and sought-after item.

Gu Shengge’s Divine Sense entered the jade slip, and a large amount of treasure information immediately flooded his mind, not only the names of the treasures but also their functions and origins were clearly marked.

With so many treasures, he had to choose carefully.

His top priority was spirit items that could help his Saint Pill transform into a Divine Infant.

Treasures similar to Fusang Divine Wood and five-colored breathing earth were also abundant in the treasure vault, but most of their attributes were too chaotic and did not meet Gu Shengge’s requirements.

“Primordial Yuan Magnetic, Phoenix Divine Flower, Nine Nether Earth Demon Soul, Profound Origin Empty Spirit, Nine Yang Spirit Pearl…”

Gu Shengge searched diligently; he already had five-colored breathing earth in his hand, which should be enough for the Earth Ancestral Witch Saint Pill to transform into a Divine Infant.

That left the seven great Ancestral Witch Saint Pills: Gold, Water, Wind, Lightning, Weather, Time, and Space.

The spirit items for Gold, Water, Wind, Lightning, and Weather were fine, but Time and Space were troublesome.

“Found it, the remnant of a Void Realm King Beast. I didn’t expect the Xuantian Tower to even acquire such a rare beast, and a King Beast at that.”

After flipping through tens of thousands of rare treasures, Gu Shengge finally found something suitable for him.

The incomplete body of a Void Realm King Beast.

Void Realm Beasts are not Azure Expanse Spirit Beasts, but rather extra-planar beings, naturally proficient in the Dao of Space, wandering outside the realms, feeding on spatial fragments, and extremely rare in number.

King Beasts, on the other hand, are the rulers of Void Realm Beasts, possessing extremely powerful strength, each comparable to a Dao Integration Grand Power, or even a Great Ascension Dao Venerable.

With the remnant of the Void Realm King Beast, as long as he refined it and extracted the spatial Dao principles within, Gu Shengge had a seventy percent chance of helping the Space Ancestral Witch Saint Pill transform into a Divine Infant.

“What should I choose for the second item…”

After a little over half an hour, Gu Shengge finally chose a pot of Cang Ming Divine Water.

Cang Ming Divine Water comes from the Cangming Sea controlled by the Dragon Clan and is water produced by the eye of the Cangming Sea, with extremely scarce output.

For example, the pot Gu Shengge chose was the output of the sea eye for three or four hundred years.

After making his choices, Gu Shengge informed the Master of Xuantian Pavilion of the results.

The Master of Xuantian Pavilion had someone retrieve the two items, and soon, a Storage Pouch was delivered to them.

Gu Shengge put away the Storage Pouch and left the treasure vault with the Master of Xuantian Pavilion.

“Little fellow, don’t forget your agreement with this old man.”

“This Junior understands.”

Outside the Xuantian Tower, Jun Mengqing had been waiting for a long time, bored, she played with her tail, and Granny Zi’s voice occasionally sounded in her ears.

“Saintess, are you still going to wait? Waiting any longer might delay the time to return to the sect.”

“Granny Zi, you don’t need to worry about when I return to the sect.”

Listening to Granny Zi’s nagging, Jun Mengqing was displeased; this old woman always wanted to meddle in her affairs, lacking the self-awareness of a Dao Protector.

When she returned to the Saint Sect, she would replace her Dao Protector.

When she saw a white-clothed figure walk out of the Xuantian Tower, Jun Mengqing’s eyes lit up, and she immediately went to meet him.

But someone was faster than her, appearing before Gu Shengge first.

“Gu Daozi, Senior Cang Ming didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?” The Butian Divine Maiden, dressed in a plain white dress and wearing a thin veil, appeared, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gu Shengge, asking with concern.

Gu Shengge politely shook his head and said gently, “Thank you, Butian Divine Maiden, for your concern. Senior did not make things difficult for me.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Yao’s brows relaxed, and she smiled slightly.

“That’s good. I just don’t know how many Spirit Stones Senior Cang Ming asked Daozi to compensate. If Daozi is short on funds, you can tell Xi Yao, and Xi Yao is willing to do her utmost.”

As soon as Gu Shengge heard this, he was about to refuse when a soft, charming voice, tinged with a hint of anger, interrupted him.

“Absolutely not! If Benefactor lacks Spirit Stones, I can pay for them. There’s no need to trouble the Butian Divine Maiden!”

The Jietian Saintess, swinging her five fox tails, walked over aggressively, her enchanting face full of displeasure.

It’s one thing to snatch territory and resources, but now you’re even trying to snatch my man? Do you really think my Jietian Sect is easy to bully?!

Jun Mengqing quickly walked up to Gu Shengge, and as if to declare her ownership, she tightly hugged his arm, pressing close, instantly making Gu Shengge feel an indescribable softness.

Xi Yao saw Jun Mengqing’s shamelessness, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.

This hussy fox really has no sense of propriety!

The surrounding Cultivators, seeing both the Butian Divine Maiden and the Jietian Saintess showing favor to Gu Shengge, were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, all wishing they could take his place.

In the crowd, the Horse Piss Immortal was so angry that his back molars were almost shattered.

Damn it! I am the Wine Sword Immortal with a System, why aren’t there any Divine Maidens or Saintesses throwing themselves into my arms?

Ye Ran became more and more unwilling the more he thought about it.

As the Wine Sword Immortal, he was actually less popular than a native, which was simply a great humiliation!

Just wait, Gu Shengge, the humiliation you brought, I, the Wine Sword Immortal, will definitely return a hundredfold!

Ye Ran swore in his heart that both the Butian Divine Maiden and the Jietian Saintess would only be his. Gu Shengge, a mere native, was simply unworthy of their favor!

“Benefactor, let’s go. Don’t pay attention to this hypocrite.”

Jun Mengqing pulled Gu Shengge, intending to leave. Seeing this, Xi Yao did not stop her, allowing the two to depart.

As for the Jietian Saintess’s insults, Xi Yao didn’t care. From their first meeting, there had already been verbal disputes.

Xi Yao treated Jun Mengqing’s harsh words as a means of tempering her heart. If a casual remark could make her angry and break her composure, it only meant her mind was not yet strong enough.

But this did not mean she would do nothing.

Looking at Gu Shengge’s departing back, a strange glint flashed in Xi Yao’s beautiful eyes.

Jun Mengqing, since you want the Qiankun Daozi so much, I will not let you have your wish.

“Saintess Jun, here’s the World Guide back.”

After leaving the Xuantian Tower, Gu Shengge returned the small World Guide cauldron to Jun Mengqing. The jade disc of creation had already analyzed the World Guide, so this item was useless to him now.

Jun Mengqing did not expect him to return the World Guide so quickly and hurriedly declined: “Benefactor doesn’t need to return it to this concubine so soon. It’s fine to keep it for a while longer to study.”

Gu Shengge shook his head: “No need, I’ve already finished studying it. And thank you for Saintess Jun’s kindness. If you have time in the future, you can come to the Qiankun Taoist Sect to seek this Seat for tea and discuss the Dao. This Seat will surely sweep the mat to welcome you.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Mengqing accepted the World Guide. At least she had received Gu Shengge’s invitation, and she could go to the Qiankun Taoist Sect to find him in the future.

Little did she know, this sweeping the mat to welcome her was a trap Gu Shengge had prepared for her.

Once she was on his territory, wouldn’t she be at his mercy?
