44: Chapter 44: Zhigui's reluctance and new divine power

Chapter 44: Zhigui’s Unwillingness, New Heavenly Dao Divine Ability · Great Mind Technique!

Jun Mengqing watched Gu Shengge’s gradually disappearing back, a faint shadow appearing in her foxy eyes.

She could feel Gu Shengge’s wariness towards her.

It seems I still need to add fuel to the fire.

“Saintess, Saint Lin has sent a spiritual message, asking when you will return to the sect.”

Suddenly, Granny Zi appeared beside Jun Mengqing, reporting respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Jun Mengqing’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, her expression turning cold, and she said impatiently, “When I return to the sect is none of his business. Also, didn’t I tell you to reject any spiritual messages concerning Lin Chen?”

“Saintess, Saint Lin is also just concerned about you…” Granny Zi tried to persuade Jun Mengqing earnestly.

Unexpectedly, Jun Mengqing raised her hand and struck Granny Zi with a palm.

Even though Granny Zi was a Nascent Divinity Celestial Being, she dared not defend herself, much less retaliate, and was directly sent flying by the palm.

Her body, like a cannonball, crashed into a palace hall, sending bricks and stones flying and dust rising everywhere.

After a while, Granny Zi climbed out, covered in dust, and knelt before Jun Mengqing, her face filled with panic, continuously kowtowing and admitting her mistake.

“Saintess, this old servant spoke out of turn. Please, Saintess, spare this old servant this one time, for the sake of my many years of service to you! This old servant will not dare again!”

Jun Mengqing looked at Granny Zi coldly.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had followed her the longest, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just a palm strike just now.

“Granny Zi, you know how much I detest Lin Chen.

Considering your hard work in the past, I’ll give you one more chance.

If there’s a next time, don’t blame this Saintess for being heartless.”

Granny Zi nodded repeatedly, hastily assuring Jun Mengqing that she wouldn’t dare again, and that she would return all the gifts Lin Chen had given her once she got back.

“Hmph, Lin Chen, you dare to extend your claws to my side.

It seems it’s necessary to give you a profound lesson.”

Jun Mengqing’s beautiful eyes revealed traces of killing intent, her voice chilling, causing even Granny Zi to shiver.

As for the Heaven-Severing Saint, Jun Mengqing detested him to the extreme.

That guy was like a flamboyant peacock, provoking women everywhere.

Whenever he met a slightly pretty one, he would send Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures, acting extremely lavishly, which immediately seemed suspicious.

Which Cultivator would give away their cultivation resources, even between Dao Companions there would be reservations, unless that person had ulterior motives?

Jun Mengqing, adhering to the friendliness among sect Disciples, once accepted a gift from Lin Chen.

Of course, afterwards, she also prepared a return gift and specifically went to his door to reciprocate.

However, what she didn’t expect was that it was precisely because of this return gift that she discovered Lin Chen’s secret, directly blacklisting him.

……

Qiankun Palace.

Zhigui accompanied Tantai Qingxuan, playing with her hair out of extreme boredom, occasionally glancing outside the hall.

What was the difference between being cooped up in this vast palace with a silent woman and being locked in a small dark room?

The more Zhigui thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became.

Ever since the incident with Ye Chen, her status had plummeted, completely transforming from a maidservant into a mount, without any dignity whatsoever.

She was, after all, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, with a Bloodline so noble that even among the numerous Dragon Clan in the Cangming Sea, she was top-tier, second only to the Five Ancestral Dragons.

No, I can’t let this continue!

Zhigui bit her silver teeth lightly, a hint of unwillingness appearing on her pretty face.

She must find an opportunity to escape.

As long as she could reach the Cangming Sea, with her Five-Clawed Golden Dragon body, the Dragon Clan would surely protect her, and the Ancestral Dragons would even break the Revered Master-servant contract within her body!

Suddenly, a white-robed figure abruptly appeared behind Zhigui, and a cold, questioning voice followed.

“What are you thinking about?”

Zhigui, who was fantasizing about a beautiful future, heard the familiar voice and shivered with fright, her face showing panic, and she quickly replied:

“N-nothing, this servant was just thinking, Revered Master, when will you… when will you return!”

“Is that so…”

Gu Shengge gazed at Zhigui, seeing her flustered like a mouse caught by a cat.

He didn’t need to guess much; he knew what this ungrateful Dragon was thinking.

If it weren’t for the immense amount of Creation Qi required to Cultivate a True Dragon, making it not worth killing, he would have long since flayed this ungrateful Dragon.

“Don’t think this Lord doesn’t know what you’re thinking.

Remember, everything you have was given by this Lord.

You can try to escape from this Lord’s grasp, but if this Lord catches you back, hmph…”

Gu Shengge warned Zhigui coldly.

He had already given this ungrateful Dragon enough mercy.

If she continued to be ignorant, then she shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless.

Zhigui, hearing this, paled with fright and immediately knelt on the ground, her graceful body trembling uncontrollably from extreme tension.

She kowtowed repeatedly, softly assuring Gu Shengge, “Revered Master, please rest assured, this servant will not make mistakes again.

If this servant makes another mistake, you can strike this servant dead with heavenly lightning, let this servant turn into ashes, and never have a next life!”

“Is that so? You’d best remember what you said.”

After speaking, Gu Shengge withdrew his gaze from the trembling Zhigui and walked towards Tantai Qingxuan.

Zhigui cautiously raised her head, looking at Gu Shengge’s back, a hint of undetectable resentment flashing deep within her golden eyes.

Hmm?

Gu Shengge seemed to sense something and paused his steps.

Zhigui quickly lowered her head, not daring to show any more dissatisfaction.

Tantai Qingxuan slowly opened her eyes, her clear and cold gaze falling on Gu Shengge.

She just looked at him quietly, without speaking.

Except for showing some unusual emotions last night, Tantai Qingxuan had reverted to her usual state of being without joy or sorrow, without emotion or desire.

Gu Shengge looked helpless, feeling more and more that his Revered Master had a problem.

Are all Cultivators of the Forgotten Love Dao like this?

It wasn’t that he hadn’t read records about Cultivators of the Forgotten Love Dao, but they were vastly different compared to Tantai Qingxuan.

Ordinary Cultivators of the Forgotten Love Dao were merely emotionally detached, yet still possessed the seven emotions and six desires, whereas someone like Tantai Qingxuan had never appeared before.

Alas~

Gu Shengge sighed lightly, waved his hand for Zhigui to withdraw, and then immersed his mind into his Sea of Consciousness, communicating with the jade disc of creation.

After half a month of deduction, the Supreme Sentimental Dao Scripture, based on the Supreme Forgotten Love Dao Scripture, was already eighty to ninety percent complete.

According to the progress, at most in two days, this Supreme Sentimental Dao Scripture would be fully deduced.

However, since the Forgotten Love Dao Scripture was originally an incomplete text, only allowing cultivation up to Void Refining, the Sentimental Dao Scripture was also limited in the same way.

Additionally, the Heart Voice System had been completely refined by the jade disc of creation and had also evolved into a Heavenly Dao Divine Ability.

“Great Mind Technique”

As the name suggests, the Great Mind Technique is a Divine Ability secret art targeting the mind, even more powerful than the Buddhist’s Mind Reading.

Cultivating the Great Mind Technique not only allows one to easily read the inner thoughts of living beings, but also to see through their deeply hidden secrets and even memories that have been forcibly erased.

Moreover, when cultivated to a profound level, it can easily modify and control the intellect of living beings, converting all sentient beings.

Besides this, the Great Mind Technique can also stir up the fears of living beings and manifest Heart Demons.

Hundreds of golden Dao characters transformed into a Divine Ability seed, planted within Gu Shengge’s Sea of Consciousness, instantly taking root and sprouting, branching out to form a Mind Divine Tree.

With this Mind Divine Tree, Gu Shengge no longer needed to worry about mind Divine Abilities, nor did he need to fear Possession!

PS: Sorry, the weather has turned cold recently, and I didn’t pay attention while using the air conditioner, so I caught a cold.

My spirits aren’t very good, so I can only do one update today.

I’ll make up for the missed one tomorrow when I feel better.
