21: The main thing is to beat them to death, and if you can't beat them, you can curse them to death.

“Zhou Tian Star Divine Body…”

The woman on the flying boat was ecstatic, her hand holding the mirror trembling slightly.

If there was one type of disciple the Star God Temple most desired to recruit, it was undoubtedly a Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.

It could perfectly inherit the Star God Temple’s orthodoxy.

“If those old monsters knew that this person awakened the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, they would definitely come running with their coffins to snatch him, wouldn’t they!?”

She mumbled, then immediately sent the message back to Lady Zhi Meng to prevent him from being intercepted.

Immediately, with a wave of her hand, Gu Qing in the city was lifted by a gentle force, instantly appearing before her.

“Senior.” Gu Qing cupped his fists in a junior’s salute, but the woman dodged aside.

She was merely a servant; she could not bear the grand salute of Lady Zhi Meng’s disciple.

“You can just call me Ji Ning; there’s no need to salute me,” the woman said earnestly.

“Also, you have awakened the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, and our Star God Temple’s Lady Zhi Meng wants to take you as her disciple.”

“Emm, I’ve finally waited for you.”

Gu Qing feigned a bit of reserve, then nodded, indicating his willingness.

Ji Ning breathed a sigh of relief; everything went smoothly, which was excellent.

“Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I can help you complete them all.”

Gu Qing’s eyes lit up. From the woman’s attitude, it was clear she wanted to curry favor with him, and he was extremely important to the Star God Temple.

So… making a few small requests should be fine, right?

“I want a batch of monster beast corpses, is that possible?” Gu Qing asked tentatively.

Once he went to the Star God Temple, he didn’t know how long it would be before he could return to the continent.

So he wanted to take the opportunity to collect more monster beast liquid.

With this powerful figure making a move, killing some Level 4 or Level 5 monster beasts would definitely be no problem.

“Yes.”

Ji Ning nodded.

Gu Qing’s request seemed a bit strange, but to her, it was perfectly normal.

Having lived for over three thousand years, she immediately realized that Gu Qing needed monster beast corpses to temper his physique.

She had seen similar cultivation methods before; the Star God Temple even had some.

“Star God Temple? Did they come… because they discovered a Heaven’s Chosen with a Star Body here…?”

Chu Yao murmured, Gu Qing’s figure inexplicably appearing in her mind.

She couldn’t discern Gu Qing’s cultivation, but her intuition told her that the people from the Star God Temple were looking for Gu Qing.

This was definitely not a misconception; it could be seen from Gu Qing selling spiritual medicines.

An ordinary person wouldn’t do such a thing… Ji Ning put away her flying boat and, taking a group of young men and women, arrived at the Monster Beast Mountain Range in a single step.

She didn’t know what divine ability she used, but one by one, monster beasts, spiritual medicines, and ores automatically flew into her storage ring.

Traveling thousands of miles in a single step, in a short time, she had slaughtered all the monster beasts in the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

“So strong!”

Gu Qing watched, his heart surging with emotion and longing.

This was a role model for his generation, displaying an invincible demeanor.

“Senior Ji, why are you hunting monster beasts?”

A peerlessly beautiful girl, as cool and ethereal as the moon, stood beside Gu Qing and asked thoughtfully.

“I don’t know.”

Gu Qing replied casually, his eyes fixed on Ji Ning’s invincible figure.

At this moment, he only wanted to become strong quickly; he had no time to bother with women.

“Not bad!”

Ji Ning’s eyes showed appreciation.

If at first, she had regarded Gu Qing differently because of his Zhou Tian Star Divine Body,

now she admired Gu Qing for his firm heart in pursuing the Dao.

Unlike the young man next to him, whose gaze seemed glued to Su Qingyue, eagerly trying to curry favor at every opportunity.

Such a lecherous person, even with talent, would have limited achievements in the future.

“Let’s go.”

Ji Ning summoned her flying boat and soared into the starry sky, leaping through space.

Gu Qing looked around the flying boat.

This was a flying magical treasure.

Its exterior resembled a small airship, but inside it contained a vast space, with tens of thousands of rooms, as well as cultivation chambers, plazas, arenas, and so on.

“Even a piece of material casually cut from this flying boat is probably more valuable than a top-grade spiritual artifact,” Gu Qing thought to himself, deepening his understanding of the Star God Temple.

“Gu Qing, Lady Zhi Meng is about to descend; prepare yourself,” Ji Ning said with a serious expression, handing him the storage ring containing the monster beasts.

“Prepare what?”

Gu Qing was a bit confused.

Was he supposed to prepare a disciple-initiation gift?

Although it was said that a master had his duties, and a disciple served him.

A master was only responsible for imparting cultivation methods and answering questions, while a disciple needed to help the master with tasks and present resources to the master at regular intervals.

But these rules only applied to small sects.

The elders and powerful figures of large sects did not lack those few resources, so they did not need their direct disciples to find resources for them.

Instead, they would spare no effort to cultivate their direct disciples.

“Naturally, it is…”

Buzz~!

At this moment, time and space seemed to freeze, golden lotuses bloomed in the void, and divine radiance filled the sky.

A peerless figure, as if a deity had descended, bathed in sacred light, inviolable and divine.

“Not bad, his blood energy is like a vast ocean.”

Gu Qing was even more outstanding than she had imagined, almost as if he didn’t come from a small place.

The successors of those immortal forces didn’t even have a tenth of Gu Qing’s vitality.

With Gu Qing as her disciple, how would that annoying sister show off in front of her in the future?

Furthermore, this generation’s Saint Child was not good enough and couldn’t bear the banner of the Star God Temple, so she planned to replace him.

“Are you willing to take me as your master?”

“I am willing.”

Gu Qing immediately bowed as a disciple, though his expression was a bit unnatural.

He had no precious treasures left on him.

Only some spirit stones remained.

He couldn’t possibly offer spirit stones, could he?

That would be too vulgar.

Forget it, vulgar is vulgar.

“Master, this is the disciple-initiation gift I offer you.”

“…”

Zhi Meng’s divine sense swept over the storage bag, finding it somewhat amusing, and she spoke softly.

“Since it is my disciple’s heartfelt intention, then I shall accept it.”

Although she didn’t care for these useless spirit stones, she wouldn’t even bother to bend down to pick them up if they were thrown on the ground.

But this was Gu Qing’s heartfelt intention, so she naturally had to accept it.

After thinking for a moment, Zhi Meng resisted the urge to give Gu Qing a magical treasure.

It wasn’t that she was reluctant, but she knew nothing about Gu Qing and didn’t know what to give him, as she had too many treasures.

Ji Ning watched, feeling a pang of annoyance. She had told Gu Qing to prepare to welcome Zhi Meng’s arrival, not to prepare a disciple-initiation gift.

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally completed the discipleship, and his life had entered a completely new realm.

He took out his communication jade slip and sent a message to Lin Chuqing… “Goddess Zhi Meng…”

Lin Chuqing, upon receiving the message, showed a joyful expression.

She had heard legends of Zhi Meng, the most stunning and peerless goddess three thousand years ago, with boundless divine abilities, who suppressed an entire era.

Even her own master, a lady of a prominent family, was no match for her.

The two were even sworn enemies.

“Damn it, why is it that vixen? If I had known it was her taking a disciple, I would have taken Gu Qing away no matter what.”

Indeed, hearing the name Zhi Meng, she gritted her teeth in anger.

“Disciple, your master has placed all her hopes on you. When you achieve success in cultivation in the future, you must suppress her. Don’t show mercy just because she is your little lover’s master.”

She had no hope of defeating Zhi Meng in this lifetime, but she firmly believed that Lin Chuqing could.

“Master, Senior Zhi Meng is already a Saint Realm mighty figure, surveying heaven and earth, with profound power. Is it really appropriate for us to discuss Senior Zhi Meng like this?”

Lin Chuqing said helplessly.

Saint Realm Dao powers reached through heaven and earth, reflecting across all realms, possessing the ability to survey heaven and earth. What they said was surely heard by Zhi Meng.

Moreover, by the time she broke through to the Saint Realm, Zhi Meng would probably have already ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Even if they were in the same realm, Lin Chuqing was not so arrogant as to believe she could defeat such a peerless goddess.

“Hmph, she dares to seduce men, and I’m not allowed to speak about it? Also, you’d best keep a close eye on your little lover. Zhi Meng loves to seduce married men. I, Luo Rou, am irreconcilably opposed to such a scoundrel.”

“Alright, alright, Master, please calm your anger. We’ve arrived at the sect; let’s go in first and talk.”

Lin Chuqing felt a headache coming on.

Her master, usually appearing dignified and virtuous, with the demeanor of a lady from a prominent family, but when it came to Zhi Meng, she could curse for three days and three nights without stopping.

Her main strategy was: if she could beat her, she’d beat her to death; if she couldn’t beat her, she’d curse her to death.

She didn’t know what kind of grudge or enmity existed between the two.

Fortunately, Zhi Meng didn’t stoop to Luo Rou’s level, otherwise, ten lives wouldn’t be enough to die.

As soon as she returned to the sect, Lin Chuqing found an excuse and quickly slipped away.

Entering her secluded cultivation cave and closing the formation, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Being caught between two super powerful figures was too much pressure.

Thinking this, Lin Chuqing took out a spatial jade bottle and murmured, “So mysterious, I wonder what A Qing gave me.”

She opened it and was immediately stunned.

“Such pure vitality! Just one breath, and my physical body is sublimating.”

“And there’s no resistance; it can infinitely enhance the physical body.”

In fact, there were many treasures in the world, and some even had no side effects, but without exception, they all had resistance and an upper limit to their use.

Gu Qing’s monster beast liquid, with no resistance, was simply unheard of.

Lin Chuqing knew its preciousness and immediately put it away, intending to return it to Gu Qing.

However, receiving Gu Qing’s message made her purse her lips.

“Encouraging each other, huh… I definitely won’t let you down.”

Lin Chuqing murmured, then released the monster beast liquid and began to comprehend the Yin Yang Great Dao Song, while simultaneously circulating her cultivation to absorb the monster beast liquid.

The more she looked, the more astonished she became.

What kind of cultivation method did Gu Qing give her?

With this cultivation method and the monster beast liquid, her Immortal Spirit Dao Body would advance further, forging an unparalleled foundation for all ages.
