319: Qingyue is waiting for you at Zilian Peak. The ancestors have all ascended.

Gu Qing and Zhi Meng arrived at the foot of Purple Lotus Peak side by side, seeing many cultivators holding babies in their arms.

He looked startled, “Master, what’s going on?”

Zhi Meng’s expression was not good. “What else could be going on? These ants, thinking Jiang Yu has gone mad wanting a baby, are all bringing babies over, deluding themselves that Jiang Yu might accept them.”

Zhi Meng’s eyes revealed killing intent. Although these people hadn’t offended her,

were they bringing babies over because they thought their babies could compare to her Xian’er?

Mere ants daring to dream of replacing Xian’er. If not for the bigger picture, Zhi Meng would have long since gone on a killing spree.

Hearing this, Gu Qing looked at the people holding babies.

Everyone looked awkward, chuckled, and hastily left with their babies.

Zhi Meng said, “Ever since the news of you destroying the Jun Family spread, countless forces learned that you have an Immortal King protecting your Dao, and our situation has improved greatly.”

Gu Qing nodded.

An Immortal King.

As long as an Immortal Emperor doesn't appear, an Immortal King is an supreme mighty figure, possessing eternal life, looking down on countless eons, an existence whose words can determine the rise and fall of a heavenly domain.

With an Immortal King’s protection, a force can remain prosperous, evergreen, and dominate the Immortal Realm.

It’s normal for these immortal great forces to want to cling to their coattails.

Hmm, that’s not right.

Even if they wanted to cling to coattails, it should be Zhi Meng’s, and they should stay away from Jiang Yu.

After all, the fact that the two were sworn enemies was almost common knowledge.

Zhi Meng saw Gu Qing’s confusion and explained, “A few old geezers from the Star God Temple ascended and widely publicized the news of you and Jiang Yu, saying you are both our disciples.”

“Oh!”

Gu Qing looked delighted, “Where are they?”

“They’re in seclusion inside.”

Zhi Meng looked depressed. None of the five old geezers followed her. Was she really that unbearable?

If she hadn’t been afraid of disturbing their seclusion, Zhi Meng would have already attacked the formation.

Why would she wait here for someone to open the formation?

Chu Yao opened the formation and walked out with captivating grace, bowing gracefully, “Greetings, Senior Martial Aunt!”

“Where’s Jiang Yu? Tell her to get out here.”

Zhi Meng said coldly.

Chu Yao looked distressed, “Master is not on Purple Lotus Peak.”

Upon hearing this, Zhi Meng was furious, and at the same time, a wave of panic surged within her.

If Jiang Yu hid and deliberately avoided her, then she truly had no recourse.

She didn't possess Jiang Yu's heaven-defying divination abilities.

“Master, don’t worry, she’ll definitely come back.”

Gu Qing offered comfort, signaling Chu Yao to leave quickly.

Chu Yao nodded slightly and darted into Purple Lotus Peak, not forgetting to send a message to Gu Qing: “Qingyue is in seclusion on Purple Lotus Peak. She misses you very much.”

“I know. Once I find Xian’er, I’ll come find you all,” Gu Qing replied.

“Stop.” Zhi Meng’s eyes blazed with fire. Just as she was about to grab Chu Yao back, a voice sounded, forcing her to suppress her thoughts.

“Zhi Meng, calm down.”

At this moment, a majestic-looking, burly middle-aged man walked out.

“Old Ancestor!”

Gu Qing stepped forward with a joyful expression and saluted.

This burly middle-aged man was the leader of the Star God Temple, with whom he had discussed the Dao several times.

Seeing him felt like seeing a long-lost relative, and a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

“Good, good, good!”

Xiang Shiqun was visibly excited to see Gu Qing. He stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said with deep emotion, “Good lad, after a few hundred years, you can now shield us from the wind and rain.”

“But in the future, don’t call me Old Ancestor anymore. It’s not appropriate.”

In the Lower Realm, there was no problem with Gu Qing calling him Old Ancestor, but this was the Immortal Realm, and Gu Qing’s cultivation far surpassed his.

He was only at the Heavenly God Realm third layer, with an ordinary fate. How could he be worthy of being Gu Qing’s Old Ancestor?

One must know that an incompatible fate could easily lead to trouble.

“Alright, Martial Ancestor.”

Gu Qing also knew not to call him that casually, so he changed his address.

Martial Ancestor and Old Ancestor were similar, but the former was much more distant and general.

“Where did she go? Tell her to hand over Xian’er.”

Zhi Meng went in and searched, but didn't see Jiang Yu, feeling utterly panicked. Her expression was incredibly grim.

“How would I know?”

Xiang Shiqun shook his head, looking helpless and quite troubled.

He had anticipated that after ascending to the Immortal Realm, the two would continue to fight, never stopping until a victor was determined.

But he truly hadn't expected the cause to be Jiang Yu's active provocation.

And it was stealing a child.

This enmity had grown immense.

Their repeated attempts to persuade her were fruitless; Jiang Yu remained self-willed, practically becoming a child-stealing maniac.

“Zhi Meng, we know Jiang Yu is in the wrong this time, but don’t blame us for being biased. Now is really not the time for internal strife.”

Two more people walked out.

They were a man and a woman, somewhat similar in appearance.

These were the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Ancestors.

“Greetings, Zhuowen Martial Ancestor, Zhuoya Martial Ancestor!”

Gu Qing spoke before Zhi Meng could.

The Old Ancestors of the Divine Temple were all elders he deeply respected.

“Good, good, good.”

Ji Zhuowen and Ji Zhuoya, the brother and sister, repeatedly said “good,” looking at Gu Qing with irrepressible joy.

Gu Qing was the junior they had placed the most hopes on, the strongest Zhou Tian Star Divine Body in history.

They cultivated him at all costs.

Gu Qing also did not disappoint them, being unrivaled in his era, and even after ascending to the Immortal Realm, he remained a unique existence.

With Gu Qing in their lineage, they would surely rise and dominate the Immortal Realm.

“Having you is our blessing from nine lifetimes of cultivation,” Ji Zhuoya said with a beaming smile, her eyes filled with the loving affection of an elder.

Elegant and incomparably beautiful, she approached Gu Qing and said with heartfelt concern, “You’ve worked hard all these years.”

In her eyes, Gu Qing was still a child, only in his teens when he joined the Star God Temple, cherished in their palms.

Gu Qing grew too fast; in just a few decades, before they could teach him much, he had already ascended to the Immortal Realm.

What she heard, although it was all about how Gu Qing powerfully slew enemies, how he was unrivaled among his peers, and how astonishing he was in the Immortal Realm,

she knew that none of this came out of thin air.

For Gu Qing to achieve what he had today, he must have endured countless hardships.

“It’s not hard,” Gu Qing responded with a smile, touched in his heart.

Zhi Meng stood aside, seeing the concerned expressions of the others and their words full of care for Gu Qing. Even though her heart was filled with raging anger, she had to temporarily endure it.

Gu Qing conversed with the three Old Ancestors for a while, then took out some immortal pills, immortal origins, and selected some xuan shen artifacts and magic treasures.

He also gifted each of them a divine object and three drops of time marrow.

He insisted that the three Old Ancestors accept them.

He also prepared a portion for the other two Old Ancestors and asked Xiang Shiqun to collect it on their behalf.

“This, this, this...”

The three were dumbfounded, waving their hands in bewilderment.

Such precious treasures could directly enhance their cultivation and foundation.

These were things even Profound God Great Powers yearned for; how dare they accept them?

“Take them. If it’s not enough, I have more,” Gu Qing forcefully pressed them into the three’s hands.

Zhi Meng’s eyelids twitched, but she ultimately didn’t stop him, thinking, “A Qing is still too kind, respecting his teachers and valuing the Dao. I don’t know if it’s good or bad; I’ll have to talk to him when we get back.”

Those secretly observing saw Gu Qing take out a large amount of top-grade immortal pills and numerous xuan shen artifacts, allowing the three to choose freely.

Divine objects and time marrow were given away like worthless weeds.

Their eyes all showed eagerness and greed, almost unable to resist snatching them.

Although the Star Dao Sect was a super behemoth, standing in the Immortal Realm for countless years,

they didn't have many top-grade immortal pills in stock.

After all, these things were consumables.

Immortal Pill Grandmasters were few and far between in the Immortal Realm; the cost of asking them to refine a single batch of immortal pills could buy more than enough.

xuan shen artifacts were equally precious.

Many Profound Gods in the world didn't even possess a xuan shen artifact.

Such precious treasures were given away by Gu Qing as if they were trash.

How could this not make them envious and jealous?

One must know that they risked their lives in secret realms, fighting tooth and nail, and might not encounter a single divine object in their entire lives.

“I wonder how many good things he plundered from the Jun Family,” the Heavenly Talents watched with reddened eyes.

Gu Qing had obtained the Jun Family's accumulation of hundreds of millions of years, and he must have countless good things in his possession.

Although they were Heavenly Talents and didn't lack immortal origins, they truly had no divine objects or time marrow, not even top-grade immortal pills.

If Gu Qing shared some with them, especially the time marrow, their strength and foundation would surely reach a higher level.

“This ant, what virtue or ability does he possess to have so many treasures? Heaven is unjust!” The elders of the Star Dao Sect were filled with towering hatred.

Gu Qing was just an ant who had ascended a few hundred years ago, yet he possessed treasures that they could not even dream of attaining.

How incredibly unfair was this?

“Martial Ancestors, please cultivate well within the sect and absolutely do not go out,” Gu Qing admonished.

“Alright!”

The three nodded.

They knew even without Gu Qing telling them that they were at a critical juncture in the Dao dispute.

Going out would be courting death.

After all, they were different from the disciples Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng had taken in the Immortal Realm; they had Gu Qing and the Peerless Twins' growth history.

The Profound Gods of the Star Dao Sect would certainly be extremely eager to know the experiences of the three.

Once they went out, they would 100% be soul-searched.

However... the three hesitated, unable to understand why Gu Qing would display these items publicly, inviting unwanted attention.

Didn't Gu Qing know the principle of 'wealth should not be flaunted'?

Perhaps he really didn't know.

After all, Gu Qing was only in his teens when he joined the Star God Temple.

After that, he had been cultivating and rarely interacted with others.

It was normal for Gu Qing to have a youthful disposition.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhuoya sent a voice transmission: “You are too impulsive. We don't mind; we'll use them when we go back, but you are different.”

Gu Qing smiled, reassuring the three.

How could he not know the principle of 'wealth should not be flaunted'?

Gu Qing was merely deliberately setting a trap to lure fish.

He wasn't afraid of people not coming to steal; he was only afraid of no one daring to steal.

It was time for the Star Dao Sect to change owners.

After seeing off the three Old Ancestors, Gu Qing said to Zhi Meng, “Master, you should return to Divine Illusion Peak first. I will find Xian’er within three days.”

Zhi Meng was silent for a moment. “Very well.”

Jiang Yu might not see her, but perhaps she would see Gu Qing.

It was also a good time for her to go back and inquire about the new miscellaneous disciples she had recruited.

Gu Qing walked into Purple Lotus Peak and headed straight for Jiang Yu’s cave dwelling.

Jiang Yu was indeed inside, playing with the baby so happily that she forgot to return home, her face radiating maternal glow, incredibly beautiful.
