297: Refining the Immortal King's Remnant Soul

On the way back to Bi Hai Ancient City, Gu Qing suddenly sensed a chilling killing intent and couldn't help but shiver.

Who exactly is it?

Gu Qing's divine sense swept around, and he quickly locked onto a middle-aged cultivator with a dignified face, like a well-read scholar.

“Isn’t this the Profound God Realm cultivator beside Xi Ling?” Gu Qing was a little puzzled.

Xi Ling wouldn’t send an Eighth-Stage Profound God to assassinate him, would she?

But Xi Ling had already seen him with the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, and Su Yunhai was with him.

A mere Ran Shanqiang couldn't harm a single hair on him.

Moreover, harming him would be making an enemy of He Ni.

No matter how unruly Xi Ling was, she wouldn't dare offend a Immortal King, would she?

After all, a single thought from a Immortal King could erase him.

Besides, Gu Qing felt that Xi Ling wanted to commit a crime in the Xuantian Domain and was busy preparing.

She hadn't reacted even after being bullied like that.

There was no need for Xi Ling to send a Profound God to cause trouble at this critical juncture.

“Hehe!”

Seeing that he was exposed, Ran Shanqiang panicked and immediately reined in the sinister killing intent in his eyes.

He looked at Gu Qing, stroking his beard and smiling, his expression gentle, his eyes filled with warmth, nodding to Gu Qing in greeting.

Gu Qing also smiled back at him, a faint suspicion forming in his mind.

Perhaps Xi Ling only sent Ran Shanqiang to monitor him, but Ran Shanqiang himself wanted to eliminate him.

This was interesting.

But no matter what, he had to settle this score with Xi Ling.

“Hoo!” Ran Shanqiang let out a long breath, his back drenched in cold sweat.

He was afraid of being smashed by Gu Qing's large cauldron, following in Jun Jiannan's footsteps.

“He shouldn't have sensed my killing intent, right? Probably not, after all, I am a Profound God, a world unto myself, isolating everything, but how did he discover me?” Ran Shanqiang thought to himself.

Gu Qing calmly took out two storage rings and tossed them to Su Yunhai.

“One is yours, and the other contains ten million jin of immortal source. Distribute it among them and find them a place to cultivate.”

Su Yunhai, a burly man two meters tall, took them in a daze.

He was such a formidable Profound God, and a Seventh-Stage Profound God at that.

Was he merely an errand boy in Gu Qing's eyes?

Thinking this, Su Yunhai calmly asked, “When are we returning to the Star Dao Sect?”

“Uncertain, I will notify you then.”

After speaking, Gu Qing left in a hurry.

They were just a bunch of tools.

Not worth him wasting another second.

Once he returned, he would hand them over to Li Wencai to manage.

He only needed to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Su Yunhai fell silent.

Didn't Gu Qing value him?

Why didn't he feel any importance?

“I was too hasty…” Su Yunhai sighed, filled with regret, but when his divine sense scanned the two storage rings, he felt even more hasty.

His storage ring contained two xuan shen artifacts and a billion jin of immortal source.

This was not contempt; it was clearly like a second parent.

One must know that as an old ancestor of the Su Family, a dominant figure, his accumulated wealth over countless years only amounted to a few billion jin of immortal source and one xuan shen artifact.

This shows how astonishing the wealth Gu Qing had given him was.

“Elder…”

Seeing Su Yunhai fall into a long silence, someone boldly called out.

“Oh.”

Su Yunhai snapped back to reality, his face beaming with joy.

He distributed the ten million jin of immortal source, with each person receiving one hundred thousand jin of immortal source.

Upon receiving the immortal source, everyone's pupils widened, and their hands trembled slightly.

After all, for many, this was their first time possessing immortal source.

Because immortal crystals could not be exchanged for immortal source; it only circulated among major powers.

If one wanted it, they had to exchange it with treasures.

And Gu Qing gave them one hundred thousand jin all at once.

If it weren't in their hands, they wouldn't dare believe it was real.

“Indeed, choice outweighs effort.”

A middle-aged cultivator with a weathered face sighed with emotion.

“Exactly.”

Everyone deeply resonated with this sentiment.

No one had more right to speak about this than they, the ordinary ones.

Wrong choice, wasted effort.

They hadn't done anything yet, and they had already received one hundred thousand jin of immortal source for free; they dared not imagine how happy they would be in the future.

“Everyone, the Young Master treats the worthy with respect and has given us absolute freedom and so much immortal source.”

Su Yunhai's aura was like an abyss, his eyes sharp, and he said in a deep voice.

“The Young Master trusts us so much. If anyone acts in compliance but not in spirit, or betrays the Young Master in the future, I, Su Yunhai, will pursue them to the ends of the earth and grind the traitor to dust.”

“Elder Su, please rest assured…”

They didn't need Su Yunhai's reminder; they wouldn't do anything deceitful.

Nor would they dare betray Gu Qing.

After all, they had undergone system checks, and their character was guaranteed.

As long as Gu Qing didn't mess around, they wouldn't betray him and would always remember Gu Qing's kindness… In an ordinary residence, Gu Qing activated the formation, isolating all divine sense prying.

Gu Qing rolled up his sleeves and busied himself in the kitchen.

Although he could use magic, sometimes experiencing mortal life was also good.

After preparing three dishes and one soup, Gu Qing went to bathe.

He Ni reined in her aura, appearing like an ordinary mortal, yet her refined and ethereal temperament was hard to conceal, like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

Seeing Gu Qing bathing inside, her fair cheeks flushed.

She stood at the door, hesitating, somewhat reluctant to enter.

“What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly.”

They were already an old couple, knew each other inside out, yet she was still so shy.

He Ni seemed to be forever an eighteen-year-old girl, her heart pure and flawless.

“Here.”

He Ni pushed the door open, slyly stood behind Gu Qing, and placed the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron by the side of the bathtub.

“As you requested, he still has a wisp of a remnant soul left.” As she spoke, an expression of confusion appeared in He Ni’s beautiful eyes.

Why did Gu Qing leave Jun Shengbao with a wisp of a remnant soul?

Gu Qing didn't explain, picking up the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron with inner excitement.

If he refined Jun Shengbao, this would definitely count as a super-level kill, right?

If it counted.

Even if Jun Shengbao was only a remnant soul, he was still an Immortal King, so the system rewards would definitely be substantial.

Immediately, immortal essence poured into it, using his own power to refine this wisp of a remnant soul.

“You… you are Gu Qing?”

Feeling the aura of the Heavenly God Realm, Jun Shengbao spoke.

His remnant soul was actually no different from a real person.

The only difference was that his hair was burning, his flesh was burning, and his magical power was burning.

Jun Shengbao tried every possible way to extinguish the flames.

However, there were no flames in the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron at all.

The flames burning his divine soul seemed to be burning from within his divine soul and magical power.

They were integrated with him and would not be extinguished until they had completely burned out. It was truly bizarre.

“It is I.”

Gu Qing’s eyes flickered as he said, “Jun Lintian was ground to dust by me, and the Jun Family was annihilated by me. Do you want to resist?”

Hearing this, Jun Shengbao, surprisingly, was not angry. He remained silent, his old face twisted, his heart collapsing.

He had thought that Jun Lintian would rule the world, would lead the Jun Family to the pinnacle, becoming the sole overlord of the Immortal Realm.

But reality was cruel.

Before Jun Lintian could grow up.

In fact, the first time he left the Xuantian Domain, the first time he left the Jun Family's territory, he was beaten like a dead dog by Gu Qing.

And because of this, he provoked two terrifying Immortal Kings, bringing catastrophic disaster to his family.

Regret.

A deep sense of regret spread from his heart.

He shouldn't have indulged Jun Lintian.

He shouldn't have ignored all the Immortal Kings in the world.

Jun Lintian suppressing and plundering the luck of favored daughters of heaven could indeed bring endless benefits.

He thought that even if the sky fell, he could handle it.

Facts proved that he couldn't handle it.

He was nothing.

He would also fail, would fall.

His and Jun Lintian's arrogance was the root cause of the family's demise.

“My Jun Family’s demise is not unjust.” Jun Shengbao sighed deeply, his eyes full of remorse.

“Old man, why don’t you resist a bit? You’re like a corpse, and it gives me no sense of accomplishment,” Gu Qing urged.

“Hehe… Hahahaha…”

Jun Shengbao laughed in extreme anger, his voice filled with desolation.

“You vicious brat, you actually dare to dream of refining me to forge an invincible Dao Heart. Truly audacious.”

To obliterate an Immortal King, no matter what method was used, was enough to be proud of for a lifetime.

Gu Qing wanting to step on him to embark on a more glorious path was simply a pipe dream.

He just wouldn't move.

As long as he didn't move, Gu Qing would gain no sense of accomplishment from killing him.

However, Jun Shengbao's heart couldn't stop feeling desolate.

To think that he, an Immortal King, dying at the hands of He Guang Immortal King and He Ni was nothing shameful.

But to die at the hands of Gu Qing, this ant.

What an immense humiliation that was.

“Your Jun Family’s married-out daughters are being purged. Perhaps if you resist, and I’m in a good mood, I might even let them go.”

Gu Qing’s tone was full of menace.

“Stop playing petty tricks in front of me. This Venerable has roamed the Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years; how could I fall for your shameless junior’s schemes?”

“Hmph, no matter how cunning you are, this Venerable will remain unshaken.”

Jun Shengbao closed his eyes, allowing himself to be at their mercy.

“Stubborn old fool.” Gu Qing’s angry voice entered the great cauldron, though his heart was already blooming with joy.

“Jun Shengbao, I advise you to be sensible. You wouldn’t want your divine soul to be scorched for hundreds of millions of years, would you?”

The pure and flawless He Ni finally understood why Gu Qing kept Jun Shengbao.

Immediately, she threatened him coldly.

Jun Shengbao: “…”

Jun Shengbao's soul body trembled.

Then, he remained as still as a mountain.

The hatred for the annihilation of his Jun Family, even if all the water of the Nine Heavens poured down, could not dilute it in the slightest.

What was the mere pain of a burning divine soul? It was nothing but a bit of hardship.

This Venerable will not move.

Will not move even in death.

Gu Qing looked at her in surprise.
