45: Chapter 45: You don’t know you are wrong, you know

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: You don't know you were wrong, you know you're going to die!

“The Great Mind Technique is indeed extraordinary.”

Gu Shengge sighed softly, feeling the sense of security brought by the protection of his Sea of Consciousness by the Mind Divine Tree.

With this Great Mind Technique, he would have a guarantee for both taming servants and discerning people's hearts in the future.

Gu Shengge looked at Tantai Qingxuan, deep in thought.

Tantai Qingxuan was born without emotions or desires, which was also a flaw of the mind. Perhaps he could use the Great Mind Technique to modify this flaw and help her develop desires.

“Revered Master, I just learned a Mind Divine Ability that should be useful for breaking your Emotionless Dao. However, it requires you to clear your mind and cooperate with me. Is that alright?”

Gu Shengge asked his Revered Master. Tantai Qingxuan nodded lightly, then closed her beautiful eyes and emptied her Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately, a surge of spiritual power emanated from Gu Shengge's glabella, extending towards Tantai Qingxuan.

However, the moment the spiritual power touched Tantai Qingxuan, a power that Gu Shengge found quite familiar suddenly emerged, instantly forming an indestructible mental defense that easily isolated his spiritual power.

“This power!”

Gu Shengge's eyes snapped open, his handsome face filled with astonishment, as he looked at the Cold and elegant Daoist in disbelief.

If he hadn't sensed it wrong, the power protecting Tantai Qingxuan's mind was none other than the power of Heavenly Dao!

His Revered Master actually possessed the power of Heavenly Dao!

The reason Gu Shengge recognized that power was simply because the power of Heavenly Tribulation he controlled was also an evolution of the power of Heavenly Dao.

The two shared the same origin.

Gu Shengge withdrew his spiritual power, looking at Tantai Qingxuan with uncertainty.

Logically speaking, even a Soul Transformation Celestial Being only controlled the power of Law, and even a Great Ascension Dao Venerable could not touch the power of Heavenly Dao. Why did Tantai Qingxuan have it?

Could it be related to the Supreme Dao Body?

Gu Shengge fell into contemplation.

According to the ancient texts he had read, there were very few descriptions of the Supreme Dao Body, only recording the uniqueness of this Physique.

Like the Innate Dao Embryo, both were special Physiques naturally aligned with the Dao, but the specific peculiarities were not recorded in the texts.

Gu Shengge collected his thoughts. He looked at Tantai Qingxuan again; the Cold and elegant Daoist had also opened her beautiful eyes, still without joy or sorrow, like a puppet.

If it was before, Gu Shengge would have thought Tantai Qingxuan simply had extremely low desires, being emotionless and indifferent.

But now, having sensed the power of Heavenly Dao, he felt even more that something was wrong.

There's a problem! A big problem!

For the first time ever, Gu Shengge felt something was tricky.

He even had a premonition that he seemed to have gotten involved in something significant.

And when Gu Shengge touched Tantai Qingxuan's mental defense, in an unspeakable place, several entities who had been sleeping for an unknown period were awakened.

“The blessing I left on her has been touched.”

“Are you coming into being?”

“No, the blessing has not been broken. She is fine.”

“Cang, you are too impatient. It's not time yet.”

“You, her matter is of great importance, we cannot be impatient. Those are all looking for her. If we weren't guarding, we would have cleared them out long ago.”

“Internal and external troubles.”

“……”

The Great Mind Technique was useless against Tantai Qingxuan, so Gu Shengge could only abandon this method.

It's a long and arduous journey!

Looking at the Cold and elegant Daoist, Gu Shengge sighed inwardly, then asked again:

“Revered Master, how do you feel?”

Although his spiritual power was blocked, it had triggered Tantai Qingxuan's mental defense, so Gu Shengge thought it should have some effect.

The Cold and elegant Daoist shook her head lightly. She felt nothing, as usual.

“Alright.” A hint of helplessness appeared in Gu Shengge's eyes. Forget it, let nature take its course.

Since he had promised to help Tantai Qingxuan break her Emotionless Dao, and had taken her Supreme Primordial Yin, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

Gu Shengge told Tantai Qingxuan to wait two more days. Perhaps there would be a turning point when the Supreme Sentient Dao Scripture was fully deduced.

“Zhigui.”

Zhigui, who was outside the hall contemplating how to escape to the Cangming Sea, heard Gu Shengge's voice. A hint of reluctance appeared on her pretty face, but she quickly returned to her original expression, turned, and walked into the hall.

Zhigui lowered her eyes, respectfully saying, “Revered Master, what do you need from your servant?”

Gu Shengge looked at the golden-skirted Dragon Maiden, performing the Great Mind Technique. Spiritual power enveloped Zhigui, probing her inner thoughts.

[So annoying! All day long, he just knows how to order me around. I am a True Dragon, not a dog! Just wait, when I find an opportunity to escape to the Cangming Sea and gain the Dragon Clan's protection, I will then break the Revered Master-servant contract in my body and return all the humiliation of these past years, making you my human pet and ordering you around every day to serve me!]

After listening to Zhigui's inner monologue, Gu Shengge's eyes quickly turned cold.

Hmph! An ungrateful Dragon is an ungrateful Dragon.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Shengge suddenly reached out and seized Zhigui's slender neck!

“Zhigui, you truly live up to your name. This Venerable One is very curious how you plan to escape to the Cangming Sea? And how you plan to make This Venerable One your human pet?”

What!!

Zhigui, whose throat was gripped, widened her beautiful eyes, her pretty face showing shock.

[How did he know I wanted to escape to the Cangming Sea?! And he even knows my thoughts of revenge! Is it because of the Revered Master-servant contract?!]

“The Revered Master-servant contract doesn't have that function. As for why This Venerable One knows what you're thinking, you don't need to know.”

Gu Shengge's face was frosty. He could no longer keep such a treacherous beast who constantly thought of betraying her Revered Master by his side.

Upon hearing this, Zhigui instantly realized that Gu Shengge was going to kill her. Her eyes filled with terror, and she begged for mercy repeatedly, her voice full of remorse.

“Revered Master, your servant was wrong! Your servant will never dare again, please give your servant another chance, your servant…”

But Gu Shengge merely shook his head, his expression indifferent, and spoke her true thoughts directly.

“You don't know you were wrong, you just know you're going to die.”

With that, he said no more. Vast spiritual power condensed into a Dragon-Slaying Mind Sword, striking towards Zhigui's Sea of Consciousness!

With just one sword, the ungrateful Dragon's mind was shattered into countless fragments!

“Ah ah ah!!!”

With her mind severed, Zhigui's face instantly twisted. She was in unbearable pain, wailing incessantly, writhing frantically in Gu Shengge's grasp like a loach.

Before long, the ungrateful Dragon lost all movement, her eyes vacant, and she transformed from her human form back into her True Dragon body.

Gu Shengge looked at the golden Dragon in his palm. He had merely erased her consciousness, essentially turning Zhigui into a vegetative Dragon.

He once again performed the Great Mind Technique, and his spiritual power re-entered the golden Dragon's Sea of Consciousness, beginning to wash away the memories from those mental fragments, as well as Zhigui's original nature.

After the purification was complete, Gu Shengge gathered these mental fragments, re-condensed them, and reshaped them into a completely new mind that would only obey him and never betray him.

A moment later, the golden Dragon, which had been motionless, “came back to life” again.

“From now on, you shall be called Jin Xi. Do not disappoint This Venerable One again.”

Gu Shengge looked at the golden Dragon with its reshaped mind and gave her a new name.

“Jin Xi thanks Revered Master for bestowing the name.”

Jin Xi transformed into human form, knelt on all fours, prostrating herself before Gu Shengge, kowtowing in gratitude, far more respectful than Zhigui had ever been.

Now that Zhigui was dead and Jin Xi reborn, the past was completely gone, like smoke in the wind.
