11: Always cheating and having fun

"A Qing, your talent is quite good. Which sect are you planning to join?"

Inside the room, Lin Chuqing gently styled Gu Qing's hair, a faint smile on her face, as she spoke softly.

"I don't know! How about Sister Chuqing helps me decide?"

Gu Qing's heart stirred, and he said with a smile.

Lin Chuqing was a successor of the Secluded Immortal Palace. Although he didn't know how powerful the Secluded Immortal Palace was, it shouldn't be weak.

At least she was someone who had seen the world, unlike him, who only lived in the poor backwater of Maple Leaf City, completely ignorant of the outside world.

"If you cultivate swordsmanship, it's best to go to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. If you cultivate dao techniques, go to the Profound Heaven Holy Land. If you cultivate the demonic path, go to the Primordial Demon Sect..."

Lin Chuqing rattled off more than a dozen Holy Lands, then casually added:

"Actually, the Star God Temple is also good. It's a transcendent power in the Barren Ancient Realm and even the entire Archaic Starfield. Its history of establishment is ancient, traceable back to the Ancient Era, with countless divine arts and secret techniques passed down, and all sorts of heavenly treasures."

"Moreover, I heard that the Star God Temple collects the essences of the sun, moon, and stars, refining them into Three Lights Divine Water, which can transform one's physique and strengthen one's foundation. It's an unparalleled body-refining divine item."

"There's also a Star Fruit tree. Consuming one Star Fruit can transform a person into a Star God Body. Even a Divine Body, if consumed, can further advance and strengthen its foundation."

Gu Qing listened quietly. He felt as if everything said earlier was just a prelude, and the latter part was the sect Lin Chuqing wanted him to join.

Could it be that Lin Chuqing knew he possessed the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body?

She must have seen it. He almost forgot, Lin Chuqing had the Immortal Pupils of Delusion-Breaking, capable of seeing the essence of all things.

"Sister Chuqing, you already knew I possessed the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, yet you still beat around the bush with me."

Gu Qing playfully squeezed her small hand, feigning anger.

"Zhou Tian Star Divine Body?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuqing was overjoyed.

This was a Supreme Divine Body.

The Zhou Tian Star Divine Body possessed unparalleled combat power, reputed to suppress all anomalies, with fast cultivation speed, no bottlenecks, and other characteristics.

Among all Supreme Divine Bodies, the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body was also among the top ranks.

The figure high in the sky suddenly opened its eyes, then closed them again.

"Forget it, Chu Qing doesn't like others prying. I still shouldn't look at her man. There's nothing good to see in a man."

"What a pity, my Secluded Immortal Palace doesn't accept male disciples."

"Master, you are not allowed to peek, and you are not allowed to sell his information to other sects!" Lin Chuqing thought of her master and immediately transmitted her voice.

"You girl, who doesn't know that your master is a well-educated and sensible young lady? How could I do such a despicable thing?"

"Then no eavesdropping."

"How can I protect your safety, girl, if I don't listen to all directions?"

"In Maple Leaf City, who is my opponent?"

"All right, I won't listen or look anymore."

..."You didn't know?" Gu Qing was stunned.

"Of course I didn't know, you never told me."

Lin Chuqing withdrew her hand and replied, somewhat puzzled.

Although she had the Immortal Pupils of Delusion-Breaking, she never pried into other people's secrets, let alone Gu Qing's.

She would only be happy for Gu Qing that he could awaken the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.

As for how Gu Qing awakened it, or what secrets he held, she wouldn't ask.

"I thought you had seen it," Gu Qing explained, realizing he had wronged her. "I only awakened the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body recently."

"No, the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body is very special. It has an inner Zhou Tian universe that can seal all aura. As long as one doesn't actively expose it, outsiders cannot detect it at all, unless they possess a divine pupil talent."

At this moment, Lin Chuqing still didn't realize she was being led on, and she proactively explained the special nature of the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body to Gu Qing.

After all, in her eyes, Gu Qing was still a novice who knew nothing.

"Inner Zhou Tian seals aura?"

Gu Qing's heart stirred, and he immediately followed Lin Chuqing's suggestion, beginning to seal his aura. Soon, Gu Qing transformed from a Qi Condensation Realm first-level cultivator on the outside to an ordinary person without any cultivation.

"The inner Zhou Tian seal is even better than concealment techniques!" Gu Qing said in surprise.

"Of course! Every Divine Body has its unique features. In the future, you should explore your own talents more."

"If you can use this to create a divine ability, it will be far more powerful than any divine ability cultivated. What suits you is the strongest."

Lin Chuqing said softly.

Her voice was clear and melodious, as if it contained a magical power that could relax one's mind and calm irritation.

"Sister Chuqing is right."

Gu Qing nodded in agreement, resolving in his heart that he must study the mysteries of the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body more in the future.

"Have you heard of innate divine abilities?" Lin Chuqing then asked.

"No, what are innate divine abilities?" Gu Qing's eyes lit up.

Innate divine abilities, just by the name, sounded very powerful.

"Innate divine abilities, as the name suggests, are innate divine abilities awakened from one's own physique."

"The reason monster beasts are more powerful than humans, besides their deeper accumulated foundation, is mostly due to their innate divine abilities and inherited divine abilities."

"And our human race's special physiques also have innate divine abilities, but they are very difficult to awaken, requiring continuous exploration of the human body's hidden potential."

"Actually, there are many powerful divine abilities in this world that are innate divine abilities passed down by predecessors, with astonishing power."

"For example, the Star Picking Hand, Star Finger, Star Shattering Fist, Seven Stars Sword Art, Seven Star Fist, and the Big Dipper... of the Star God Temple."

Lin Chuqing listed some great divine abilities that had been passed down for eons, and smiled.

"A Qing has the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body. As long as he diligently refines his foundation, he might awaken his own innate divine ability in the future."

"Will I?"

"You will."

Lin Chuqing said with certainty, "As the saying goes, the Dao follows nature, and divine abilities manifest themselves!"

"If you join the Star God Temple, cultivate the Zhou Tian Star Art, and delve into it with dedication, your future will be promising."

Hearing this, Gu Qing already had his choice.

"Oh, right, I obtained a pill and a set of formations during my training. I don't need them for now, so I'll give them to you first."

Lin Chuqing took out a jade bottle, a formation disk, and nine formation flags.

"What kind of pill?"

"Soul Nurturing Pill, a level three formation..."

Gu Qing was astonished.

The Soul Nurturing Pill primarily nourished the soul. It was a third-grade pill, but it was more precious than a fifth-grade pill.

Mainly, refining the Soul Nurturing Pill was too difficult, requiring a sixth-grade alchemist to have a 50% success rate.

Furthermore, the main ingredient of the Soul Nurturing Pill was the Soul Nurturing Grass, which was a precious herb that enhanced soul power.

The value of one Soul Nurturing Pill definitely far exceeded two Blue Ice Lotus Seeds.

And this set of level three formations, capable of defending against Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, was of immeasurable value.

What a good wife... Gu Qing was moved inside.

Although Lin Chuqing had a cool temperament, she was the type of person who only acted, but didn't speak.

Gu Qing silently accepted them. These two items were of great use to him, and he found it difficult to refuse.

However, he wouldn't take them for free either.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and decided to share some monster beast liquid with her.

"Sister Chuqing, do you have any spatial treasures for holding spiritual liquid?"

"Yes!"

Lin Chuqing didn't ask Gu Qing what he needed the spatial treasure for. She directly took out a jade bottle.

"Wait for my good news tomorrow."

"Okay!"

After Lin Chuqing left, Gu Qing immediately set up the formation.

This was a complete set of simple formations that even someone unfamiliar with formations could use.

By scattering the formation flags in various directions and placing spirit stones, it could operate.

"Holy cow, it's actually a linked formation with spirit gathering, defense, and concealment capabilities!"

"It seems Sister Chuqing is a super rich woman."

To possess such a powerful and mysterious formation, her sect must be extraordinary.

Thinking this, Gu Qing adjusted his mindset and began to devour the monster beast liquid to break through his realm.

Inside his Immeasurable Sea dantian, Yin Yang Great Dao Qi permeated, forming a huge mass of energy.

His Dao Bone devoured the monster beast liquid as if it were a whale, nourishing the Dao Bone while exhaling vast amounts of Yin Yang Great Dao Qi.

Soon, Gu Qing's true qi accumulated to the quantity of the Divine Sea Realm fourth level, but there was no sign of it liquefying.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the Yin Yang Great Dao Song to condense it; rather, the Yin Yang Great Dao Song simply didn't have a method for condensing true essence.

When cultivated to a certain realm, the Yin Yang Great Dao Qi would directly condense into a Yin Yang Divine Pill, and then nurture the Yin Yang Great Dao laws.

This was the unique aspect of the Yin Yang Great Dao Song.

The next day!

Gu Qing inwardly observed his dantian. The Yin Yang Great Dao Qi already had the quantity of the Divine Sea Realm fifth level.

His rapid cultivation breakthrough gave Gu Qing a sense of unreality.

Two months ago, he was still at Body Tempering ninth level. Two months later, he was directly at the Divine Sea Realm fifth level.

One must know that cultivation was harder than ascending to the heavens, with each realm being a new heaven.

Nourishing the flesh and meridians, comprehending the mysteries of the realms—all of these required time and accumulation.

But for him, none of that was an issue.

Indeed, a temporary cheat is temporarily satisfying, but a continuous cheat is continuously satisfying, with boundless pleasure.
