325: The Nine Heavens of Xingchen Dao Sect, the Pseudo-Immortal King

“Hmph!”

Seeing Gu Qing, Kong Jiansheng let out a cold snort, carrying a terrifying Dao sound. If it were a Heavenly God, he would surely be severely injured.

However, Gu Qing was now a Profound God, with an incomparably powerful physique. Kong Jiansheng’s Dao sound was like a gentle breeze to him.

The three were stunned, staring fixedly at the unharmed Gu Qing, their minds reeling.

Gu Qing smiled at the three and leisurely walked into Wangyue Peak.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be that he broke through to Profound God?”

“Impossible, the aura he revealed was clearly that of the Heavenly God Realm.”

“He didn’t even use a magic treasure to defend himself. Could it be that his physical body is even stronger than a xuan shen artifact?”

“How many years has he been cultivating? This can’t be!”

“This is truly seeing a ghost.”

Kong Jiansheng and Jing Hong murmured to themselves as if possessed.

The Yaoguang Saint Son was pensive.

He felt that Gu Qing’s physique must be comparable to a xuan shen artifact, and, perhaps, he had already broken through to Profound God.

After all, with the example of the Peerless Twins before them, it was reasonable for Gu Qing, as their inheritor, to be a bit heaven-defying.

“What kind of heaven-defying great fortuitous encounter did those three get? If I obtained it, would I also be invincible in the world like Gu Qing?” the Yaoguang Saint Son thought to himself.

He left disheartened, feeling utterly dejected.

The woman he liked fell for Gu Qing.

His self-proclaimed invincible strength was crushed by Gu Qing.

Even his most proud background, after Gu Qing obtained the Immortal King’s protection, instantly dissipated.

The Yaoguang Saint Son had not considered switching allegiances and joining Jiang Yu’s faction.

Although betraying his current faction would lead to being hunted by Immortal Realm Dao Traditions, he no longer cared about that much; he just wanted to get the heaven-defying inheritance first.

Unfortunately, no matter what method he used, let alone becoming Jiang Yu’s disciple, he couldn’t even meet her… “Junior Brother.”

Xingyue’s heroic and valiant face was filled with joy, her beautiful eyes seeming to contain starlight.

“Senior Sister.” Gu Qing had a good impression of this big villain; her personality was ruthless yet straightforward.

“My master agreed to us being together.”

Before Gu Qing could ask, Xingyue eagerly blurted out.

Xi Ling, who was secretly watching, helplessly massaged her forehead. Her rival’s cheap appearance truly infuriated her.

But this was also good.

Although Xingyue was love-struck, she was genuinely beautiful, heroic, and possessed a pair of incomparably long legs.

She would definitely enchant Gu Qing to the point of forgetting himself.

He would surely forget her completely.

Xi Ling thought so.

“Then… please guide me for the rest of our lives.”

Gu Qing was silent for a moment, taken aback by Xingyue’s straightforwardness, and then said this.

“Mm-hmm! Junior Brother, don’t worry, Senior Sister will definitely not let you down.”

Hearing the answer, Xingyue was overjoyed, her delicate face flushed red.

“…”

What did she mean by not letting him down?

It felt a bit strange.

As they spoke, the two had already entered the main hall and saw Wang Yue looking like a sickly beauty, which surprised Gu Qing.

He truly hadn’t expected a Xuan Shen Peak powerhouse to look so frail.

Gu Qing bowed and greeted, “Disciple greets Elder Wang Yue.”

Wang Yue smiled faintly, her voice delicate, “No need for such formality. You are very good. I entrust Xingyue to you. I hope you treat her well.”

“Elder, rest assured, this disciple will definitely treat Xingyue well.”

“Master, are you leaving again?”

Xingyue’s expression changed, and she quickly hugged her master’s arm.

“No, I just want to go into secluded cultivation and not interfere in your affairs,” Wang Yue said softly.

“Oh!”

Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “That’s good. Master is, after all, a cultivator of an Immortal Realm Dao Tradition. It’s inevitable that you can’t bring yourself to act.”

“…”

Gu Qing looked at her, puzzled.

Why did the destined villainess seem like a silly sweet girl?

Impossible.

Gu Qing secretly shook his head.

Xingyue’s words were originally meant for him to hear.

That is to say, this lineage of Wang Yue would not help him deal with the Immortal Realm Dao Traditions.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing this, Xingyue felt a sense of relief.

Wang Yue looked at Gu Qing, a faint blush appearing on her pale face.

She slowly said, “You are very powerful. You are the most powerful I have ever seen, no, it should be, the most powerful since ancient times.”

“Elder, you flatter me.”

Looking at Wang Yue’s flushed cheeks, Gu Qing always felt that there was a deeper meaning in her words.

Wang Yue thought for a moment, then added, “Our sect has been passed down from ancient times to the present, with unfathomable foundations. Besides the powerhouses cultivated by the sect, there are also many powerhouses secretly cultivated by various Grand Elders.”

“They are all dormant in the unopened Heavenly Domains, being nurtured by the Land of Creation. Their strength is absolutely formidable. Any Profound God who emerges from there can rival You Kui.”

“If you only have two Immortal Kings supporting you, I advise you to make peace with them. It’s not too late to contend for orthodoxy after you attain the Immortal King Dao.”

Gu Qing fell silent.

Even without Wang Yue saying it, he knew that the Star Dao Sect had unfathomable foundations.

The so-called Heavenly Domains were the Ninefold Starry Sky of the Star Dao Sect. Where they were currently was the first layer.

But he hadn’t expected those Heavenly Domains to all be constructed into Lands of Creation, where heaven and earth were like a furnace, nurturing Profound Gods.

After countless years of nurturing, who knew how powerful they were.

What was even more outrageous was that two Immortal Kings couldn’t take them down.

Did the Star Dao Sect have more than two Immortal Kings?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

The foundation of the Star Dao Sect made one feel awe just thinking about it.

Perhaps even Jing Hong and Kong Jiansheng didn’t know how many foundations the Star Dao Sect truly had.

Gu Qing secretly shook his head.

There was nothing to fear.

With Jiang Yu in hand, the world was his.

He could go all out and be reckless; the rest could be left to Jiang Yu.

He must inherit the Starry Sacred Mother’s legacy.

Gu Qing had already decided to build the Star Lineage into a semi-reclusive sect.

Seeing Gu Qing remain silent, Wang Yue continued, “As everyone knows, the Star Dao Sect has the Ninefold Starry Sky. Each layer of the Starry Sky is vast and boundless, with rich Immortal Source Qi that has flowed continuously from ancient times to the present, inexhaustible and endless.”

“There is absolutely no need to worry about the Immortal Source Qi running out, yet why do they still choose to seal it? Profound Gods simply cannot use up that many Heavenly Domains.”

Gu Qing’s eyes flickered, and he said he didn’t know.

His heart was burning with excitement.

The legacy left by the Starry Sacred Mother was indeed boundless.

Leaving aside everything else, just the sect’s Ninefold Starry Sky was a huge inheritance.

“Hehe!” Wang Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, a mischievous look in her beautiful eyes, “Of course, it’s because we don’t have the Ninefold Starry Sky at all.”

“…”

Gu Qing looked speechless.

He thought Wang Yue was about to reveal some earth-shattering secret, but it was just this?

But, to be fair, why did Wang Yue feel a bit abnormal?

“We only have three layers of the Starry Sky. The other two layers were taken by the Taiyin Lineage and the Zwei Dao Tradition. The remaining four layers were taken away by the Immortal King ancestor in the Ancient Era to escape the Heavenly Ghost Clan, fleeing to another realm.”

“If you can find the six layers, and the nine layers unite, there will be unexpected surprises, you know.”

Wang Yue said with a smile.

Gu Qing shook his head; that was too far off.

He was also too lazy to bother.

If one day he became powerful enough to easily reclaim the six layers, he might do it as an afterthought.

He walked out of the main hall and headed straight for Xi Ling’s residence.

Seeing Gu Qing outside her door, Xi Ling shivered in her room.

She was truly traumatized by Gu Qing.

Especially Gu Qing’s Space Divine Art; just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine.

Such a profound and unfathomable Space Divine Art could virtually sweep away all Profound God opponents.

She couldn’t think of any divine ability that could rival Gu Qing’s Space Divine Art.

“You all come with me.”

Gu Qing also didn’t want to push Xi Ling too hard; it wouldn’t be good if he drove her crazy.

Therefore, he left with the four beautiful women.

“Phew, he finally left.”

Xi Ling swept her divine sense outwards, saw Gu Qing leave Wangyue Peak, and then let out a huge sigh of relief.

However, thinking of Gu Qing taking Hong Lan and the other three, she immediately gnashed her teeth in anger.

“This bastard must be a Space God. I’m not his match now. I’ll endure him for now, and one day I will make him repay it a hundred, a thousand times over.” Xi Ling thought to herself.

She, Zhao Xinglan, was absolutely not Gu Qing’s money-giving child.

Temporary forbearance was only for the sake of dealing with Gu Qing better in the future.

Thinking this, Xi Ling felt a little better and couldn’t help but gloat, “The powerhouses of the Star Dao Sect are gathered at the foot of the mountain, clearly intending to act against the Lower Realm Dao Traditions. I just hope this bastard doesn’t get killed by a pseudo-Immortal King in one move.”
