Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Tantai Qingxuan, Who Is Enthusiastic About Dual Cultivation

After obtaining the Artifact Refining Materials he desired, along with three other treasures, Gu Shengge did not linger in Xuantian City.

He brought Tantai Qingxuan and Jin Xi directly to the Xuantian Tower, borrowing its cross-province teleportation array to return to Qian Heavenly Province.

As for why they didn't use the teleportation array when they came, it was because the Xuantian Tower's teleportation array was one-way, also to ensure the safety of Xuantian City.

Qiankun Taoist Sect.

The Sect had been quite lively recently because the Saintess position was vacant, and many female Disciples within the Sect wanted to compete for it.

Gu Shengge wasn't concerned about any of this; it made no difference to him who became the Saintess.

After returning to the Sect, he first greeted the Sect Master, then went to Daozi Peak to pay his respects to the Old Ancestor.

At Daozi Peak, Gu Shengge recounted the matter between him and the Master of Xuantian Pavilion to Old Ancestor Chen Xiao.

After listening, Old Ancestor Chen Xiao was silent for a long time, then showed a look of sadness and sighed softly.

“Alas~ Is he still unwilling to give up?”

Gu Shengge: “Old Ancestor, do you also know that Senior Cang Ming’s son is buried in the Underworld?”

The Old Ancestor nodded, slowly recounting an event from a thousand years ago.

A thousand years ago, the Master of Xuantian Pavilion was ambushed by evildoers and poisoned with the Reversion Poison.

This was an ancient rare poison; it wouldn't harm a person but would cause them to continuously revert to a younger state. Even the top Alchemists in the Zhongtian Region were helpless against it.

Later, the Master of Xuantian Pavilion's son consulted ancient texts and discovered that a rare flower growing in the Underworld could counteract the Reversion Poison. Disregarding the Master of Xuantian Pavilion's objections, he went to the Sky Burial Underworld.

Unfortunately, he never returned from that trip.

A thousand years passed, and the Master of Xuantian Pavilion sent many strong Cultivators to search, but not only did they return empty-handed, not a single one returned.

“Little fellow, are you sure you want to go? The Celestial Burial Forbidden Zone is not a good place. Even if you Cultivate lightning Law and have mastered the power of Heavenly Tribulation, going in there is a nine-deaths-one-life, or even ten-deaths-no-life, situation.”

Old Ancestor Chen Xiao urged Gu Shengge to consider carefully. It was just breaking the Xuantian Tower, at worst he would compensate with more Spirit Stones; he couldn't bear to let Gu Shengge take such a risk.

Gu Shengge: “Old Ancestor, since I have already promised Senior Cang Ming, I naturally won’t go back on my word. Moreover, Senior Cang Ming isn’t asking me to go immediately. He said I just need to bring back his son’s remains before his lifespan ends.”

“Is that so? That’s good then. Although that fellow was poisoned with the Reversion Poison, with his cultivation, enduring another seven or eight hundred years isn’t a problem, which is enough time for you to develop.”

Hearing this, Old Ancestor Chen Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the one named Cang didn't ask his own Heavy Pupil Cultivator to go immediately, otherwise, he would truly have to personally visit the Xuantian Tower and fight that fellow.

A Void Refining Grand Cultivator has a small world self-contained within their body, with three thousand years as spring and three thousand years as autumn, enjoying boundless immortal longevity and eternal youth.

Even if the Master of Xuantian Pavilion was afflicted with the Reversion Poison and reverted to a younger state, with his cultivation and lifespan, he could still last for several hundred years.

Let alone seven or eight hundred years, even if it were only one or two hundred years, it would be enough time for Gu Shengge to develop.

After bidding farewell to Old Ancestor Chen Xiao, Gu Shengge returned to Daozi Peak.

Inside the palace, Tantai Qingxuan saw Gu Shengge return and immediately shed her Daoist robe, revealing her flawless Supreme Dao Body, which stunned Gu Shengge on the spot, making his words stutter.

“Ma-Revered Master, what are you, what are you doing?!”

“Dual Cultivation.” The Cold and elegant Daoist spoke indifferently.

In Tantai Qingxuan's view, since they had returned here, wasn't it time for Dual Cultivation?

“Uh, let’s put off the Dual Cultivation for a bit. I still have other things to do. It won’t be too late to Dual Cultivate after I’m done.”

Gu Shengge was startled upon hearing this, and quickly refused. While Dual Cultivation was beneficial for cultivation improvement, there had to be a limit!

How long had it been since their last Dual Cultivation? And she wanted to do it again!

Tantai Qingxuan, being refused, immediately felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't know what this feeling was called.

Gu Shengge noticed her abnormality and appeased her, saying, “Revered Master, I really have something to do. After I’m done, I’ll accompany you in Dual Cultivation. Be good, wait for me on the side, I’ll be quick.”

“Mm.” Tantai Qingxuan nodded and sat to the side, waiting for him.

Subsequently, Gu Shengge took out the remnant of the Void Realm King Beast, which was several hundred zhang in size, and only one-sixth of its upper body.

Faint spatial Law flowed on its silver-gray scales and fur, and its flesh and blood also contained extremely vast ethereal energy. This remnant body was very light, as if weightless, merging with space, as if it could vanish into the Void Realm at any moment.

Gu Shengge formed hand seals and activated a technique, his Heavy Pupils shimmering with silver light. A phantom, formless spatial blade condensed and struck the Void Realm King Beast's remnant body, stripping off its scales and fur, and then separating the bones from the flesh.

The scales could be made into armor, the fur could be refined into net-like Magic Treasures or whisks, while the bones and flesh could be refined into spatial essence.

Gu Shengge formed hand seals and activated a technique, and golden imperial flames ignited, enveloping the Void Realm King Beast’s bones and flesh, burning and refining the spatial essence contained within.

This process lasted for over half a month. During this time, Gu Shengge dared not take his eyes off it for a moment, fearing that a single oversight would lead to failure.

The golden imperial flames gradually extinguished, and five drops of spatial essence, the size of a pinky finger, floated in mid-air, appearing bright silver and exuding rich spatial Law.

These five drops of spatial essence, if placed in the outside world, would be priceless and incredibly rare, a dream item for Cultivators who Cultivate the spatial Dao.

Gu Shengge quickly enveloped them with spatial power, fearing that if he was even a second late, they would merge into space.

With this spatial essence, plus the five-colored breathing earth and the Azure Ming Divine Water.

Gu Shengge was confident of making a huge step forward.

He looked at the Cold and elegant Daoist who had been waiting for a long time, and smiled at Tantai Qingxuan:

“Revered Master, let’s Dual Cultivate.”

………

Haoran Province, Heavenly Dao Sect.

Heavenly Dao Mountain, Long Aotian was holding two beautiful female Cultivators, eating purple grapes fed to his mouth by a female Cultivator, and watching a few enchanting maidens perform a striptease. He was extremely happy.

“Sect Master, it’s bad! Li Kui and Yun Boguang, they’re in trouble!”

A short man with shifty eyes and adorned with gold and silver jewelry suddenly ran in, interrupting Long Aotian who was enjoying himself.

The enchanting maidens who were dancing also stopped.

Long Aotian's face instantly darkened, not because he was angry that Li Kui and the others were in trouble, but because he was annoyed at being interrupted.

“Damn it! Linghu Buchong, didn’t I tell you not to disturb me when I’m enjoying myself?! Are you treating my words as wind in your ears?!”

Long Aotian cursed loudly, showing no demeanor of a Sect Master, acting even more like a bandit than a bandit.

Linghu Buchong immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: “Sect Master, please calm your anger. It’s truly an urgent matter. Brother Yun Boguang and Brother Li Kui are dead. You must avenge them!”

“So what if they’re dead? No one can disturb my enjoyment! Get out of here!”

Long Aotian became even more displeased. It was just two tool-men who died; was it worth interrupting his enjoyment?

Linghu Buchong, yelled at like that, scrambled out. Long Aotian looked at the enchanting maidens who had stopped, a wicked smile on his face, and continued:

“Why are you standing there like idiots? Keep playing the music, keep dancing for me.”
