111: Breakthrough to the fifth level of the King Realm, Xuantian Sword

“Hall Master, let me kill him.”

Hearing Gu Qing’s voice, Jiang Yu paused, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Although Li Qingshan’s soul had been almost completely annihilated, he was still not someone a King Realm cultivator could kill.

Moreover, why would Gu Qing want to kill Li Qingshan?

Could he be trying to refine Li Qingshan’s soul?

Thinking this, Jiang Yu’s eyes flickered, and she cast a sealing divine ability, sealing Li Qingshan’s soul into a Glass beads (glazed bead).

Once crushed, Li Qingshan’s soul would be utterly extinguished, turning into pure soul power.

Whoosh!

Gu Qing caught the glazed bead and put it into his storage ring, then collected some of Li Qingshan’s flesh and blood essence.

“Are you cultivating demonic arts?” Jiang Yu asked with a frown.

Collecting both souls and flesh and blood essence—could he be cultivating Zhi Meng’s Myriad Transformations Chaos Art?

“No, not at all.” Gu Qing quickly shook his head. In this environment, who would dare to go against the current?

The Imperial Uncle and Darkness were already a thing of the past.

“Is that so…” Jiang Yu was a little skeptical. A star chart appeared in her mind, and she secretly performed a divination. She quickly got an answer.

“Self-created Chaos Immortal Scripture, Golden Gourd… What a great fortune, what an opportunity, truly an anomaly…” She was somewhat startled.

Gu Qing’s growth was even more astonishing than she had imagined.

And this was only based on her calculations of these two things; perhaps Gu Qing had other opportunities and fortunes.

Jiang Yu did not continue her divination. Unless absolutely necessary, she disliked prying into others’ privacy.

As long as Gu Qing wasn’t cultivating demonic arts or straying onto evil paths, it was fine.

As for Innate Treasure… she didn’t care for it.

The Innate Spirit Treasure that everyone yearned for but couldn’t obtain was, to her, merely something dispensable.

Thinking this, Jiang Yu’s gaze turned to Luo Li, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

Although Luo Li’s talent was good and her heart for cultivation was incredibly firm, her mind was too malicious.

She was a demonic woman who would bring chaos to the world.

The Star God Temple’s reputation for righteousness had been ruined by Luo Li.

“Keep your minions in check. This will not happen again.” Jiang Yu said sternly.

“Yes, Hall Master!”

Luo Li’s heart tightened, and she immediately agreed, lowering her gaze, not daring to show the slightest defiance.

This was a super expert who could blow up a Saint tool. Before she had the capital to resist, she dared not court death.

She had a hunch that Jiang Yu was even more powerful than her master, Zhi Meng.

Moreover, Jiang Yu’s strength had given her an unparalleled shock, making her question life itself.

Jiang Yu nodded slightly, took out the broken sword, and handed it to Ji Ning: “You keep an eye on him. Don’t let him cause trouble again.”

The meaning was clear; she was practically saying that Gu Qing and Luo Li were not allowed to collude again.

“Yes, Hall Master!”

Ji Ning understood, nodded, and happily took the broken sword.

The great opportunity was finally in her hands.

Ji Ning’s hands trembled with excitement.

This was an immortal sword, and it even contained a remnant soul of an immortal realm mighty figure. Jiang Yu had given it to her so easily.

Ji Ning felt somewhat unreal.

After all, putting aside the cultivation methods and knowledge from the broken sword and remnant soul, just this wisp of remnant soul, once refined, could elevate her strength to the next level.

Only at this moment did Ji Ning suddenly realize that she had truly embraced the wrong leg to hug before.

Jiang Yu was much more appealing than Zhi Meng.

It was a pity that she already had a clear master now, otherwise, following Jiang Yu wouldn’t be bad either.

“Do you want to come with me?” Jiang Yu asked Gu Qing.

“No, once this matter is settled, I need to go home, and then to the Central God Domain to bring Su Ying back to the Star God Temple.” Gu Qing said.

Although Jiang Yu’s golden thigh was the thickest in the entire universe, and her soft rice was the most delicious in the entire universe.

However, it’s better to rely on oneself than on others.

He had his own path.

In any case, Gu, the certain person, would never accompany her shopping again.

“Alright then! You little brat, I’ll wait for the day you come begging me.”

Jiang Yu said teasingly, dropped a sentence, and then stepped across endless time and space, arriving at Cangming City.

Gu Qing was somewhat silent.

He would beg Jiang Yu?

What a joke, impossible, never in this lifetime.

“Sure enough, there’s something going on.” Ji Ning thought to herself.

Phew… After Jiang Yu left, Luo Li let out a long breath. Her gaze swept over her subordinates: “Tear down the Li family.”

The value of the Saint-level grand formation was immeasurable, and there were also spiritual herbs, a treasure vault, various pavilions, spiritual tools, and magic treasures, all good things.

“Yes!”

Wang Fan and the others responded and began to work.

However, everyone lacked enthusiasm.

In the past, ransacking a Saint-level force would have made them uncontrollably excited.

But at this moment, their minds were filled with Jiang Yu’s invincible figure.

Their reverence for the Star God Temple grew even stronger.

Before, they only thought the Star God Temple was an ancient sect with countless divine arts and secret techniques, an abundance of heavenly treasures, and experts like clouds.

But witnessing Jiang Yu’s divine abilities had completely shattered their worldview.

They felt even more insignificant.

Even if they broke through to the Saint Realm, or to the Divine Fire Realm, what then?

Even a powerful figure like Li Qingshan was easily annihilated by Jiang Yu, wasn’t he?

There’s always a higher mountain, and always a stronger hand.

Clearly, Jiang Yu was an insurmountable mountain for them.

Including Wang Fan.

Because he also couldn’t achieve the feat of blowing up a peer-level magic treasure.

His physical body was indeed incredibly strong, his blood qi like a dragon, possessing the Dragon Elephant Particle Body divine ability.

But at most, he could catch magic treasures bare-handed or severely damage them.

This was already incredibly heaven-defying.

Thinking this, Wang Fan felt dejected; there were too many powerful people in this world.

If… Wang Fan had a bold idea in his heart, and his heart grew hot.

“If I could join the Star God Temple and become Jiang Yu’s disciple, perhaps…”

He secretly glanced at Luo Li and thought, “Luo Li isn’t favored by Jiang Yu. Can I rely on her to succeed in becoming a disciple? Forget it, I’ll use Luo Li first, join the Star God Temple, and then make further plans.”

Gu Qing glanced at the Li family and said, “Junior Sister, I’m going back first.”

“Hmm! I’ll go with you!” Luo Li also wanted to return to seclusion to comprehend the Xuantian Sword Art.

Although she didn’t practice swordsmanship, if she could comprehend the profound mysteries within such a heaven-defying cultivation method and integrate them into her own Daoist magic and divine abilities, it would elevate her foundation to a higher level.

Gu Qing returned to his secluded mountain peak, placed Li Qingshan into the Golden Gourd, and the system prompt sounded in time.

【Congratulations to the host for super-leveling up and slaying a Saint Realm peak cultivator, rewarding a Saint tool, the tiangang nine swords!】

“Not bad!”

Gu Qing’s eyes lit up, overjoyed.

Nine Saint tools, and a complete set at that, forming the Celestial River Sword Formation, whose power was even slightly stronger than a divine tool.

Moreover, the tiangang nine swords were refined from complete Celestial River Divine Iron. They only needed to be refined and branded with divine Dao laws to be promoted to divine tools.

At that time, there would be nine divine tools.

Thinking this, Gu Qing continued: “Lottery draw!”

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the profound heaven sword!】

Another Innate Spirit Treasure was in hand.

Gu Qing’s expression was agitated. He silently claimed it and stored it in his body’s sword aperture, absorbing the profound heaven sword’s innate Dao charm to nourish the sword aperture.

Zheng zheng zheng!

The three thousand sword apertures emitted sword cries, absorbing the innate sword qi, instantly sublimating the three thousand sword apertures and nurturing even more terrifying sword qi.

Gu Qing secretly estimated the power of the sword qi; it should be no problem to kill a Venerable Realm cultivator.

He had another trump card.

Indeed, his foster father had never disappointed him.

Gu Qing then took out Li Ping’an’s innate sword bone, refined it, and integrated it into his sword apertures.

The three thousand sword apertures, having absorbed the essence of the sword bone and the innate sword qi from the profound heaven sword, instantly underwent a transformation at a visible speed.

Gu Qing took out the Golden Gourd and drank a few mouthfuls. Only then did he remember that Ji Ning had given him a storage ring.

It contained spiritual herbs and demon beast flesh and blood collected by Chu Yao, which he hadn’t melted yet.

Without much thought, he immediately put them into the Golden Gourd to melt. A moment later, Gu Qing poured out one percent, and it was already enough to flood the mountain peak.

Pure life essence permeated the entire secluded cultivation cave, imbued with traces of law auras.

If it weren’t for the formation barrier, it would surely attract Saint Realm cultivators.

Gu Qing adjusted his mindset and circulated the Chaos Immortal Scripture to absorb it.

Three months later, Gu Qing broke through to the fifth level of the King Realm.

He looked within his three thousand sword apertures and saw chaotic sword qi permeating them. Every wisp of sword qi exuded the power to create and destroy the heavens.

Once unleashed, it would surely be world-destroying, returning all things to nothingness.

Thinking this, Gu Qing retracted his gaze and placed the tiangang nine swords into nine sword apertures to nourish them.

He didn’t care for the King-grade tiangang nine swords, but he still liked the Saint-grade ones.

Moreover, these were the nine swords that could be promoted to divine tools.

If combined with the Celestial River Sword Formation divine ability, their power would definitely be terrifying.

A day later, Gu Qing fully comprehended the Celestial River Sword Art and cultivated it to great completion.

Then, Gu Qing began to cultivate the Heaven Opening Divine Halberd.

He had only cultivated one move, Annihilating the Eight Desolations, of this divine ability, and had not cultivated the remaining few moves.

The main reason was that the Heaven Opening Divine Halberd was too high a level; without sufficient cultivation, it was impossible to cultivate it.

Now that he had broken through to the King Realm, he could cultivate the latter three moves.

After ten days of cultivation to minor completion, Gu Qing couldn’t wait to find Luo Li to test its power.

This suited Luo Li perfectly.

After all, divine abilities and secret techniques needed to be honed through actual combat to understand their power, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

She had always suffered from not having a suitable opponent to hone her divine abilities. When Gu Qing came knocking, Luo Li almost immediately agreed without a second thought.

Boom!

In the starry sky, the five-element halberd blades generated and countered each other, giving rise to the power of creation and destruction. The terrifying might swept across the galaxy, destroying heaven and earth.

Luo Li was forced back in disarray, unleashing her Phoenix Dharma Idol to escape the divine ability’s lockdown.

Before she could catch her breath, yin and yang qi appeared in the starry sky, assimilating all things, and the divine halberd seemed to be opening up heaven and earth.

Luo Li’s scalp tingled. She took a deep breath and poured her true essence into the Phoenix Nirvana Spear.

A divine phoenix flapped its wings and soared, carrying an boundless sea of fire, exuding a heaven-shaking spear intent, charging forward without hesitation.

With a bang, the aftershocks of the divine ability spread, sweeping across the galaxy and destroying countless stars.

Their battle was no less intense than that of Venerable Realm cultivators.

“No more fighting.”

An hour later, the wind and waves had subsided. Luo Li was panting, her hair disheveled, and her body drenched in fragrant sweat.

Her perfectly curvaceous figure, tightly clad in a phoenix dress, possessed an indescribable beauty.

Luo Li swallowed several top-grade pills to recover, her beautiful eyes gazing at Gu Qing with a complex expression.

She was no longer the ignorant girl she once was, having witnessed countless prodigies.

However, those so-called prodigies and evildoers, the divine abilities they cultivated, were all ordinary or minor divine abilities comprehended by predecessors based on cultivation methods.

Some also cultivated divine beast divine abilities.

Even with just that, they could already dominate a region.

But what about Gu Qing?

He actually cultivated law divine abilities, which were infinitely powerful, perfectly flawless, and could accompany him for life.

Thinking of those prodigies and evildoers fighting tooth and nail over a minor divine ability, Luo Li suddenly found it amusing.

Shaking her head, how could she compare those ants to Gu Qing?

The so-called prodigies and evildoers were merely exceptionally outstanding ants among the masses.

Her Senior Brother Gu Qing was a true dragon of the Nine Heavens, incomparable.

“Alright!”

“We’ll fight again next time.”

Gu Qing regretfully put away his reincarnation divine halberd. His Celestial River Sword Art divine ability had not yet been unleashed.

He would try it out with Ji Ning once she came out of seclusion.

The two returned to their cave dwelling, bathed and changed, and then met in the small pavilion on the lake.

“Junior Sister, your pastries are quite good. If you have any delicious ones in the future, remember to send me a share.” Gu Qing said gently.

“Of course, as long as Senior Brother doesn’t mind.”

Luo Li smiled, blooming like an immortal flower, beautiful as a celestial goddess.

“Senior Brother, when is the Hall Master returning?”

“I’m not sure. She just took on a pair of Twins as disciples and is currently taking them on an experience. Why do you ask? Are you still planning to plunder the world’s wealth?”

“No!”

Luo Li quickly shook her head. She had originally planned to do so, even establishing a kingdom and becoming an empress herself.

But after being warned by Jiang Yu, she gave up.

Although power was good, how could it compare to her life?

If she accidentally angered Jiang Yu, it would be more loss than gain.

Luo Li was truly afraid of Jiang Yu; her divine abilities were too terrifying.

“Then what do you want to do?” Gu Qing asked.

Luo Li pondered for a moment, then asked curiously, “Senior Brother, who do you think is more powerful, the Hall Master or Master?”

Of course, it’s Jiang Yu. She’s a Dao Venerable who has lived for seventeen years.

Gu Qing thought this, but said, “Who knows? They’ve been openly and secretly competing for thousands of years, and haven’t decided a winner.”

Wang Fan, who was nearby, heard this news and his heart surged with immense waves.

There was actually someone comparable to Jiang Yu?

Then, how many such powerful individuals did the Star God Temple have?

Wang Fan pricked up his ears, wishing he could immediately fly to the Star God Temple to become a disciple.

Gu Qing glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze to check the system messages.

As expected, Wang Fan had been providing him with luck.

The Super Anti-Armor System was truly a good system.

He didn’t have to do anything, and luck came pouring in.

After spending some more time with Wang Fan, he estimated that without even needing to act, Wang Fan would take himself out.

“That’s true!”

Luo Li sighed, feeling that the road ahead was difficult.

There were simply too many powerful individuals in this world. Her path to invincibility was distant, even without hope.

After all, the Gu Qing before her already made her feel far behind.

Heaven knows how many other prodigies and evildoers there were in the world.
