255: Master, you are the true love

Five years later.

In the Primordial Star Domain, the Star Dao Sect widely opened its gates, and the stars shone brightly.

The gate, standing in the void, was immensely grand, inscribed with mysterious Dao patterns, and exuded the power of ancient ages.

The gate slowly opened, as if opening the world-gate to the Thirty-Six Heavens. Inside, it resembled a vast and boundless great realm, with immortal qi swirling and auspicious light radiating in thousands of streams.

The cultivators of the Archaic Starfield lineage, with divine light flowing around them, emerged in an orderly fashion, solemnly welcoming Zhi Meng and Gu Qing's return.

Besides them, many other disciples and elders also wished to witness the Peerless Twins' exceptional demeanor.

They were eager to know what kind of divine presence this person, rumored to be incredibly powerful and hailed as the Strongest Zhou Tian Star Divine Body in history, truly possessed.

And there was Zhi Meng.

She was a Profound God Great Power.

If it weren't for it happening right before their eyes, they wouldn't have believed that someone could achieve the Profound God Dao Fruit in just a few hundred years since ascending.

One must know that a few hundred years wasn't even enough time for them to travel a long distance.

You Kui also arrived.

He stood high in the void, enveloped by all dharmas, looking down like a god.

He wanted to see what kind of divine being Zhi Meng, who was one of the Peerless Twins alongside Jiang Yu, truly was.

Did she have the qualifications to be Gu Qing's master?

He was also a Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, also from the Archaic Starfield, and he dreamed of taking Gu Qing as his disciple, allowing Gu Qing to inherit his legacy.

Buzz!

“They’re here.”

A majestic Starlight Avenue suddenly appeared on the horizon.

A man and a woman, both of unparalleled grace, appeared like the center of heaven and earth, stealing all the colors of the world.

Their divine countenances were flawlessly sculpted by the hand of the heavens.

Of course, appearance was not important.

A person's fundamental essence was their aura.

“Too strong.”

Their hair fluttered, and with every gesture, their noble and transcendent aura, radiating from within, displayed an invincible spirit.

Everyone held their breath, feeling an overwhelming surge of invincibility that was almost suffocating.

“The Strongest Zhou Tian Star Divine Body in history truly lives up to its reputation, and the Peerless Twins are even more Unprecedented.”

“My Archaic lineage shall flourish greatly.”

You Kui secretly marveled, his heart burning with excitement.

He looked at Gu Qing, then at Zhi Meng, and felt there was a chance.

Although the aura Zhi Meng displayed was very strong, it lacked Jiang Yu's hidden depths and was still within his manageable range.

Before Jiang Yu appeared, he, the Strongest Profound God, was by no means an empty title.

However, since the two had just arrived at the Star Dao Sect, it was not the time to snatch disciples. The priority was to welcome them.

“Greetings, Ancestor.”

Gu Qing bowed respectfully.

He glanced at the other cultivators of the Archaic Starfield lineage out of the corner of his eye, feeling surprised.

Why were there only a few weaklings?

There were only three Heavenly God Realm peak cultivators and a dozen Heavenly God Realm cultivators.

And judging by their aura, they were very weak.

As for the disciples, their cultivation was equally mediocre.

Was their lineage's core strength so weak?

Or were not all the people present?

That shouldn't be the case; Old Ancestor You Kui was here.

“No need for formalities.”

You Kui raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted Gu Qing.

“Ancestor, where is Jiang Yu?”

Zhi Meng asked.

Such a grand occasion would be meaningless without Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had to be present.

She still wanted to publicly humiliate Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was only fit to be her disciple's concubine, a wet nurse for her daughter.

“The Purple Lotus Peak Master is in secluded cultivation.”

You Kui replied with a faint smile.

“Peak Master? What Peak Master?”

Zhi Meng's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.

“Jiang Yu, whose Dao name is Purple Lotus, became a Peak Master after achieving the Profound God Dao.”

“Didn’t you know?”

You Kui asked in surprise.

In his opinion, since the three ascended at the same time, their relationship should be very good.

No, if their relationship was very good, Jiang Yu wouldn't have asked him to conceal her strength.

So, what was the relationship between these two?

“Wh-what?”

Zhi Meng was struck as if by lightning.

Achieved Profound God Dao?

And a Peak Master?

“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

Zhi Meng roared, like a thunderclap, her blue hair flying. The clear sky instantly manifested a boundless Chaos Thunder Sea.

“Jiang Yu, get out here!”

Zhi Meng's demonic blue eyes held towering rage.

Her aura fully unleashed, chaos ascended with the sun and moon, commanding the boundless Chaos Thunder Sea.

“Hiss.”

Everyone's faces turned pale, intimidated by Zhi Meng's violent aura. They felt their souls shattering, and a great fear arose in their hearts.

Such a terrifying thunder sea; if even one bolt of lightning struck them, they would surely die instantly, their souls annihilated.

Their minds were in a daze. The three ascended together; weren't they like-minded close friends?

Why did they seem like enemies?

The thunder sea Zhi Meng suddenly unleashed also alarmed the entire Star Dao Sect.

Countless Great Powers extended their divine senses to investigate.

Upon seeing Zhi Meng's chaotic sun and moon commanding the boundless thunder sea, their pupils constricted.

You Kui had already spread the news that Zhi Meng was a Yin-Yang Chaos Body, primarily cultivating the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record.

But he never said she also cultivated such a terrifying Thunder Great Dao.

The Profound God Realm Ancestors looked at the Chaos Thunder Sea, feeling a chill in their hearts.

Too strong. Thunder was extremely rigid and masculine, unmatched in its destructive power. Perhaps Zhi Meng's thunder could even obliterate a Profound God.

“What is it?”

Jiang Yu's voice gently drifted out.

Before her voice faded, Jiang Yu had already appeared in the void. The Purple Lotus phenomenon spanned the sky, exuding a Great Dao Divine Power, as if she were a Master God commanding heaven and earth.

“…”

Seeing the Purple Lotus phenomenon, everyone's pupils couldn't help but earthquake, and their hearts trembled.

Under the shroud of the Purple Lotus phenomenon, they felt like ants in Jiang Yu's commanded world.

This was definitely not an illusion.

Rather, Jiang Yu's Purple Lotus phenomenon truly commanded the myriad Dao laws of heaven and earth.

And within Jiang Yu's domain, a single thought could obliterate them.

The Peerless Twins from the lower realm were truly terrifying.

Even across the entire vast Immortal Realm, they were unique existences.

The powerhouses of the Star Dao Sect looked at the two with expressions full of admiration.

“You truly deserve to die.”

Seeing that Jiang Yu was indeed at Profound God Realm Fourth Stage, Zhi Meng's mentality exploded.

She couldn't accept this cruel reality.

To become stronger, she searched for opportunities everywhere, even stooping to feign civility with those so-called Heavenly Talents.

She was even chased by a Profound God Realm cultivator, fleeing in disarray, almost losing her life.

If Gu Qing hadn't given her the Sky Thunder Pearl.

If she hadn't fearlessly fused with the Sky Thunder Pearl.

She wouldn't have been able to achieve the Profound God Realm.

But after paying such a huge price, why was she still surpassed by Jiang Yu?

What had Jiang Yu even done?

She had done nothing, suffered no hardships, and was able to cultivate to the Profound God Realm in the Star Dao Sect.

Why was she so lucky?

Zhi Meng was indignant.

Things shouldn't have been like this.

Things should have been that Jiang Yu accomplished nothing, frantically and humbly searching for resources everywhere.

She would be ridiculed and mocked by her, reduced to her disciple's concubine, and then ordered around like a maid, helping her raise her daughter.

That's how things should be.

“Jiang Yu, die!”

Zhi Meng struck fiercely, sending billions of lightning bolts towards Jiang Yu.

What if her realm was one stage higher than hers?

She, Zhi Meng, had condensed many Great Dao Dao Fruits, and her combat power was unparalleled. She refused to believe she couldn't defeat Jiang Yu.

The idea was good, but reality was cruel.

Jiang Yu merely flicked her long sleeve, and space contracted, gathering the sky full of lightning. Heaven and Earth Shifted, returning all attacks.

“Star Shift?”

Zhi Meng was stunned. Her terrifying divine power was easily shifted away.

Was a one-stage difference in the Profound God Realm truly an insurmountable chasm?

The surrounding Great Powers watched in astonishment. They wondered, was their Star Shift divine power really that powerful?

You Kui smiled without speaking.

He had long experienced Jiang Yu's Star God Body divine power, which could be described as the Great Dao of Simplicity.

Even an ordinary divine power, in Jiang Yu's hands, could transform into something miraculous, unleashing the power of a Great Dao Divine Power, perfectly flawless.

“Master, the first three stages are early stage, and the last three stages are middle stage. The gap between them is like a chasm.”

“Jiang Yu's temporary lead is nothing. With Master's talent, you will soon surpass Jiang Yu and suppress her.”

Gu Qing spoke to comfort her.

He was truly afraid that Zhi Meng's Dao heart would collapse, leading her to do something even crazier.

“My disciple is right.”

Zhi Meng took a deep breath, her eyes like lightning, her expression arrogant: “Jiang Yu, temporary success or failure means nothing. The one who laughs last is the winner. We'll see.”

With that, Zhi Meng took Gu Qing and left.

They entered the cave mansion You Kui had arranged, and the formation was closed.

Zhi Meng's expression cracked inch by inch, her nose stinging.

It was too much bullying.

She had worked so hard, for the sake of surpassing Jiang Yu, countless times she had hovered on the brink of death, repeatedly breaking through the shackles of life, transcending herself.

Yet she was still no match for Jiang Yu.

When would she ever be able to surpass Jiang Yu?

“Wuwuwu!”

Zhi Meng suddenly hugged Gu Qing, suppressing her voice, and began to sob softly.

Gu Qing was a little at a loss.

He never expected that his always strong Master, a woman like an eagle, would actually cry.

It seemed Master was truly bullied terribly.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Zhi Meng had suffered so much, chased Jiang Yu for thousands of years, yet still couldn't catch up to the slacking Jiang Yu. Anyone would feel mentally unbalanced.

“Cry, cry. It's not that you're not good enough; it's that Jiang Yu was born at the peak.” Gu Qing thought to himself, holding his soft Master.

Zhi Meng cried for a while before realizing. How could she cry?

Especially in front of her disciple.

She had lost her composure.

Zhi Meng felt her face burning, her head buried in Gu Qing's chest, not daring to look up. She mumbled: “Disciple, Jiang Yu is too powerful. I definitely won't be able to catch up to her for a while.”

“It's all my fault for being useless, unable to capture her to be your concubine.”

“???”

Gu Qing's mind was full of question marks.

Capture Jiang Yu to be a concubine?

You really dare to think that.

Gu Qing couldn't help but admire Zhi Meng's boldness.

“Disciple, I have a plan...”

“No, don't say it, I won't listen.”

Gu Qing interrupted her. He didn't need to hear it to know that Zhi Meng definitely wasn't brewing a good idea.

Moreover, Jiang Yu, that cunning woman, seeing Zhi Meng's emotional breakdown, was probably secretly enjoying it.

“No, you have to hear me out first.”

Zhi Meng looked up, her expression serious: “You are so handsome and excellent, you will definitely be able to seduce her. Once she falls in love, she will surely lose interest in cultivation. We, master and disciple, will work together, and then I will have a sure victory.”

What did she mean by 'work together'? 'Collude' was more like it.

“No.” Gu Qing firmly refused.

Jiang Yu's Dao heart was unshakable, every action had her own considerations. If he could have pursued her, he would have done so long ago.

Why would he need Zhi Meng to direct him here?

“Good disciple, you don't want your Master to be constantly suppressed by Jiang Yu, do you?”

“…”

A million alpacas stampeded through Gu Qing's mind.

After a moment of thought, he softly suggested: “Master, think about it. Why has Jiang Yu always indulged you and never gotten angry with you?”

“Why?” Zhi Meng was startled. With Gu Qing's reminder, she also found it strange.

Although Jiang Yu was as serene as a chrysanthemum, never contending, kind and gentle.

However, for those who provoked her, Jiang Yu always directly killed them.

But she, on the other hand, had always been at odds with Jiang Yu. Why did Jiang Yu always tolerate her?

The more Zhi Meng thought, the more she felt something was off.

“I guess she probably likes you.” Gu Qing whispered.

“What?”

“Rebellious disciple, how can you speak such nonsense? Your Master is a woman, how can... how can...”

Zhi Meng was furious, her face flushed, and as she spoke, she couldn't continue.

“Master, you can cultivate the Yin-Yang Reversal Secret Art.”

“They say childhood sweethearts can't compare to a sudden love, but sworn enemies eventually become lovers.”

“If Master takes the initiative, you will surely succeed and fiercely conquer the hateful Jiang Yu.”

“Master, you two are true love.”

Gu Qing quickly finished speaking in one breath, and then he disappeared without a trace.

He was going to find Jiang Yu to upgrade his communication jade. If she didn't upgrade it for him.

He would... he would hug Jiang Yu's leg and not let go.

“Rebellious disciple, rebellious disciple...”

Zhi Meng's face was flushed with anger, and she was fuming.

“Even if you don't want to, you don't have to humiliate your Master like this.” Zhi Meng gritted her teeth.

She would absolutely not reverse her gender, nor would she have any good feelings for Jiang Yu.

She wished Jiang Yu would die.

Gu Qing's actions truly made her furious.

Zhi Meng just couldn't understand. Jiang Yu was so beautiful and excellent, why was Gu Qing unwilling?

“Sigh, I'm troubled.”

Zhi Meng looked worried, her eyes showing helplessness, feeling defeated inside.

After chasing Jiang Yu for thousands of years and still not catching up, she was truly tired.

Her only beloved disciple was unwilling to help her. The road ahead seemed difficult just thinking about it... she should still say something.

Here, I would like to thank the kind readers who support me with their love, and thank the few readers who send gifts every day. It's truly heartwarming. Whenever I get frustrated writing, seeing their support makes me feel much better.

There's no need to send Blade ( Blade are 'update urging blades', a type of virtual gift in Chinese web novels). It's too hard to make money now. Anyway, even if you send them, I won't add more updates. This month, I'll stick to three updates a day, come rain or shine.

Also, the characters in this book are written to be extreme, so I had already anticipated poor results. I kindly ask my dear readers for more understanding.

Well, how should I put it, I'm still an old reader but a fresh, new author. I like to include personal touches in my writing and haven't followed the usual tropes. There are many plot points that I'm actually well aware of.

Later, I will try to write more things that suit the public's taste and finish it as soon as possible. That's all.
