245: As long as you are alive, no one can stop the eagle

“No…”

Li Yin let out his final roar of despair, his soul completely annihilated.

“Phew!”

Gu Qing put away the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror, his face pale, and his steps unsteady as he returned to the Time-Space Shuttle, swallowing a few immortal yuan pills and Heavenly Soul Pill.

Seeing this, Zhi Meng waved her hand, collected Li Yin’s magic treasures and storage ring, and quickly piloted the flying boat to escape.

They had already entered Time Twilight, where Profound God Great Powers gathered.

Although the battle between Gu Qing and Li Yin was not grand in scale, a Profound God’s abilities should have sensed it.

As expected, not long after the Time-Space Shuttle left, several Profound Gods descended, their divine might boundless, their Dao techniques illuminating the boundless void.

Their eyes, filled with divine light, seemed capable of discerning everything.

“A Profound God has fallen.”

“What kind of magic treasure is this?”

“There’s also residual Heavenly God Realm mana.”

The several Profound Gods looked at the World-Destroying Profound Light lingering in the void, their hearts trembling with fear.

There was still a Heavenly God Realm aura remaining on the battlefield, which meant a Profound God was killed by a Heavenly God Realm using a magic treasure?

What level of heaven-defying killing treasure was this?

Thinking of this, the several Profound God Great Powers were filled with regret.

If they had arrived earlier, perhaps they could have obtained a heaven-defying magic treasure.

On the other side, after Gu Qing stabilized his realm, he stroked the Time-Space Shuttle, unable to put it down.

“What a good treasure it is.”

At this moment, even if someone offered him an Innate Spirit Treasure in exchange, he would not trade it.

“Yes,” Zhi Meng also sighed with emotion.

“The Time-Space Shuttle not only became our life-saving treasure but also exhausted a Profound God Realm to death.”

She saw it clearly: the Calamity Black Dragon could curse a Profound God Realm, and the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror could incinerate a Profound God Realm.

But if Li Yin hadn't been depleted to a crippled state, Gu Qing would not have been able to kill him at all.

No matter how powerful a magic treasure was, it depended on who was using it.

A Profound God Great Power was terrifying to such an extent.

Thinking, Zhi Meng looked at the pale Gu Qing with her beautiful eyes and said with concern, “You should go into seclusion to recover. I can control the flying boat.”

Gu Qing glanced at the spatial projection, found no Profound God Great Powers chasing them, and then entered the Ruyi Space with peace of mind.

He then took a few immortal yuan pills and spent a month recovering, his cultivation returning to the peak of the Divine Fire Realm Fourth Layer.

As for the Calamity Black Dragon, it had burned a lot of its cultivation, its realm dropping by one layer, currently at the Heavenly God Realm Fourth Layer.

Gu Qing released his adoptive father from the small dark room.

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully killing a Profound God Realm, an extraordinary feat of cross-level killing. You are rewarded with a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Sky Thunder Pearl.”

“Adoptive father truly never disappoints me.”

Gu Qing joyfully accepted the Sky Thunder Pearl, pondered for a moment, removed the soul imprint from the Sky Thunder Pearl, placed it in a jade box, and sealed it with a restriction.

After completing all this, Gu Qing walked out of the Ruyi Space and saw Zhi Meng piloting the flying boat while simultaneously deciphering Li Yin’s storage ring.

Gu Qing spoke, “Master, let me do it.”

“Good!”

Gu Qing activated his Dao Pupil, and the restrictions and formations on the storage ring were revealed at a glance. In an instant, he imprinted his own soul mark on it.

While Zhi Meng wasn't paying attention, he put the Sky Thunder Pearl in, then took it out in front of her.

Opening the jade box, he feigned surprise and said, “Master, look, it’s an Innate Spirit Treasure.”

Zhi Meng looked closely, her expression ecstatic.

She never expected that Li Yin would actually possess an Innate Spirit Treasure, and one that he hadn't even had time to refine.

At the same time, Zhi Meng broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Li Yin hadn't had time to refine it. If he had already refined the Sky Thunder Pearl...

With the power of an Innate Spirit Treasure, perhaps a single strike would have been enough to blast away the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror?

Moreover, with the Sky Thunder Pearl suppressing him, the Calamity Black Dragon probably wouldn't have been able to successfully curse him at all.

A thought flashed through her mind, and Zhi Meng eagerly said, “Disciple, quickly go and refine it.”

“No, such a heavy treasure, aren’t you even going to think about it?”

Gu Qing paused, then smiled and said, “Master, I have an Innate Spirit Treasure. For any item, quality over quantity. You should refine it, Master.”

“If Master doesn’t work harder, you’ll soon be surpassed by me.”

Gu Qing had no intention of keeping the Sky Thunder Pearl.

He simply had too many Innate Spirit Treasures, more than he could use. Keeping it would just let it gather dust, so it was better to give it to Zhi Meng to improve her cultivation.

With the Sky Thunder Pearl and the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus assisting her, Zhi Meng’s cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

This way, he wouldn’t have to worry that one day he would be an Immortal King, while Zhi Meng was still struggling in the Heavenly God Realm.

At that time, he, the Immortal King himself, would still have to call Zhi Meng his Master.

“For me?”

“No, no, no.”

“Absolutely not!”

Zhi Meng waved her hands repeatedly. Although she was a demoness who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

If she coveted something, she would directly slaughter sects and exterminate clans to get her hands on it.

However, when facing her closest kin, she wished she could offer them everything best.

Before, it was her younger sister Luo Rou, now it was Gu Qing.

Both were her closest kin.

“If Master doesn’t want it, then I’ll give it to someone else. After all, I have no use for the Sky Thunder Pearl.”

“You…”

Hearing that Gu Qing was going to give it to someone else again, Zhi Meng was quite annoyed. Her beautiful eyes glared at Gu Qing, her meaning self-evident.

“Alright, when Qingyue ascends to the Immortal Realm, I…”

“Give it to me.”

Zhi Meng didn't wait for him to finish speaking and snatched it. “Your Master will keep it for you for now. If you ever need it, you can always come to me, but you absolutely cannot give it to anyone else, not even Qingyue.”

Gu Qing smiled without speaking. If there was a suitable Innate Spirit Treasure that wasn't of much use to him, he would definitely give it away.

Although he was stingy, he was never stingy when it came to his women and family.

Although Zhi Meng had no blood relation to him, in the cultivation world, the relationship between master and disciple was sometimes closer than that of blood relatives.

Because blood relatives might not accompany you for long, but master and disciple were different.

They accompanied each other, relying on each other, and sought the Great Dao together.

All this way, Zhi Meng had meticulously cared for him, teaching him how to temper his state of mind and overcome his inner desires and fears.

Moreover, in the future, she would continue to accompany him, relying on him, and spend countless years of long life with him. This was not something blood relatives could compare to.

“Thump!” Seeing Gu Qing like this, Zhi Meng knew exactly what he was thinking and angrily tapped his forehead.

“Are you not listening to your Master anymore?” Zhi Meng said sternly.

Although her disciple was exceptionally intelligent, he was still too young, not even knowing how to cherish an Innate Spirit Treasure.

Furthermore, human hearts are unpredictable. Even heaven and earth change with the passage of time, let alone human hearts?

How many truly loving Dao companions, who could rely on each other in life and death, ended up killing each other over treasures?

“I am!” Gu Qing rubbed his forehead and nodded decisively.

Seeing Gu Qing’s perfunctory manner, Zhi Meng shook her head, her heart filled with worry.

She liked Gu Qing’s youthful vigor, his radiant spirit, and his sincere treatment of everyone around him.

But now, she suddenly wished Gu Qing could be a little more mature, possessing the cunning and depth of an ancient old monster.

However, if Gu Qing truly became a selfish, harsh, and deeply cunning person, would he still be her disciple?

Zhi Meng was conflicted and remained silent.

Gu Qing changed the subject: “Master, why don’t you go into the Ruyi Space to refine the Sky Thunder Pearl? I can handle things alone from now on.”

Zhi Meng’s red lips moved, her heart astonished.

How did Gu Qing know this was the Sky Thunder Pearl?

He couldn't have known just by looking, or perhaps he recognized the Sky Thunder Pearl?

Even if it was such a coincidence, would anyone who obtained an Innate Spirit Treasure not refine it immediately?

She hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that she did, everything seemed wrong.

The Sky Thunder Pearl must have been put in by Gu Qing and then taken out in front of her. He did this just to give her the Sky Thunder Pearl.

Thinking of this, Zhi Meng looked at her spirited disciple, her beautiful eyes unreadable, and, pursing her lips, said, “Alright.”

Since it was Gu Qing’s nature, then let it be.

As long as her cultivation far surpassed that of Gu Qing’s women, she wouldn’t fear their rebellion.

Zhi Meng adjusted Gu Qing’s hair crown: “Your Master will always protect you.”

After speaking, Zhi Meng entered the Ruyi Space to refine the Sky Thunder Pearl, imprinting her soul mark on it, and using the power of sky thunder to cleanse her physical body and soul.

This process was extremely painful. The power of sky thunder washing over her was ten thousand times more refreshing than being slowly dismembered.

If one's will was not firm, they simply couldn't endure it.

Moreover, it was using sky thunder to cleanse the soul; the pain involved was beyond words. A slight mistake could cause the soul to be shattered and scattered.

But if one successfully endured it, the gains were equally immense.

Thunder contains the purest life force, which can strengthen the physical body, cleanse impurities, and cause the soul to undergo a qualitative change.

It could even transform one into an innate deity who controls the Great Dao of Thunder.

Zhi Meng’s expression was resolute.

From a mere spiritual entity, she became a genius who overshadowed the All Heavens Myriad Realms.

What she relied on was an unyielding drive; a little pain was nothing.

As long as she was alive, no difficulty in the world could stop her from moving forward.

“I have the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus protecting my soul; I will definitely succeed…” Zhi Meng thought firmly, then entered a deep state of cultivation.

“Master is truly a woman like an eagle,” Gu Qing glanced into the Ruyi Space and saw Zhi Meng daring to use sky thunder to cleanse her soul, which made his heart tremble.

Ruthless, too ruthless.

To become stronger, Zhi Meng would stop at nothing.

However, this was too dangerous. A slight misstep could lead to severe soul damage, or even complete soul annihilation.

After observing for a month and seeing that Zhi Meng was proceeding smoothly, Gu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his gaze.

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then put away the Time-Space Shuttle.

The Time-Space Shuttle was too conspicuous, and he didn't know how many Profound God Great Powers were in the starfield where He Ni was located.

Gu Qing didn’t want to be chased by a Profound God Great Power again.

He changed into ordinary clothes, his hair casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, making him appear dashing and casual.

But his aura was noble and imposing, like a favored son of heaven undergoing tempering in the mortal world, traveling the cosmic starry skies.

Gu Qing stepped onto his flying sword, swaggering, and headed straight for He Ni’s secluded cultivation spot.

The flying sword streaked across the sky, passing through star rivers.

Along the way, Gu Qing saw many Profound God Great Powers comprehending the Dao, their divine might permeating the star rivers, their Dao techniques reflecting the heavens.

The Profound God Great Powers naturally noticed Gu Qing, but only glanced at him before losing interest.

Although they were somewhat surprised why a Heavenly God Realm ant would appear in Time Twilight.

Did he not know that Time Dusk was here?

Once Time Dusk descended, a Heavenly God Realm wouldn't even have time to escape and would be instantly wiped into nothingness by the power of time.

There were also the Wheel of Time, the Sea of Time Dusk… but these had nothing to do with them.

Gu Qing’s noble and extraordinary aura indicated he was clearly a favored son of a great sect, perhaps with a powerful protector secretly guarding him.

It was best not to provoke him if possible, to avoid trouble.

On the other side, a hazy figure, as if an embodiment of the Great Dao, adorned by myriad Dao laws, exuded an extraordinary aura, like a deity towering above the heavens.

“Fairy He has the potential of an Immortal Emperor.”

“Too strong.”

Many Profound God Great Powers observed from afar, communicating with their companions via spiritual messages, fearing they might disturb He Ni.

Although they were all Profound Gods, He Ni was different from them. Upon entering Time Twilight, she had immediately slain a Profound God Realm with a single sword strike.

She was incredibly powerful.

“Does anyone know Fairy He’s origins?”

“I don’t know.”

They had never seen He Ni’s true face, nor did they know her background.

They only knew that her surname was He, and she was very strong.

Killing Profound Gods was like slaughtering chickens and dogs to her.

The Dao rhyme (Dao charm) flowing from He Ni alone seemed to transcend all heavens, carrying an extraordinary quality.

She appeared to still be in the Profound God Realm, yet her Profound God Realm laws were fundamentally different from theirs.

If they could comprehend He Ni’s Great Dao laws up close, they would surely advance further, perhaps even gain insight into their own Great Dao.

Unfortunately, someone once tried to comprehend it but was slain by He Ni’s sword.

Such a heaven-defying fortune, yet it was tantalizingly out of reach, causing everyone's hearts to bleed.

“Hmm.”

He Ni opened her eyes, unable to calm her mind and comprehend the Dao. A sense of unease arose within her, as if something major was about to happen.

This inexplicable intuition had grown stronger in recent years, yet she couldn't find its source.
