368: The Nine Heavens Mysterious Daoist Scriptures and the Creation of Heaven Atlas

“Good, good, good!”

The Profound Gods finally gave up, knowing that joining the Boundless Divine Sect was hopeless in this life.

Years of ambition, all for naught.

Everyone was both angry and unwilling, but no matter how much resentment they felt, in the face of absolute power, they could only swallow it and leave dejectedly.

“Our Boundless Divine Sect does not accept disciples who bring their teachers’ techniques; you may leave,” Shu Ying added.

As for whether these people listened, that was none of their business.

The world has never lacked those who foolishly believe they can move a sect with their sincerity, hoping to reach the heavens in one step.

“Thank you, Seniors, for informing us.”

The Heaven's Chosen who hadn't rushed forward to surround them were now terrified.

This was the first time they had seen a Profound God so wantonly slaughter Heaven's Chosen.

It was also the first time they truly realized that they, who fought against heaven and earth, were nothing before a Profound God.

Hearing Shu Ying’s words, everyone finally came to their senses, thanked her, and flew off on their flying swords, looking dejected.

Hong Lan’s eyes flickered.

There were still dozens who stubbornly refused to leave, their eyes glinting, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Hong Lan said nothing, simply swatting them all dead with one palm.

Free medicine delivered to her doorstep—why refuse?

“Let’s go!”

Waving her hand, she conjured the Time-Space Shuttle; the four stepped onto the flying boat and instantly appeared above the Starry Sky Academy.

The four tacitly split up.

Hong Lan headed straight for the Profound God families.

She conjured the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror, incinerating the sect-protecting array, and a brilliant sword light burst from her fingertips.

Countless dazzling sword lights, like meteors, streaked across the void, severing the physical bodies of all cultivators below the Profound God realm, leaving only their souls.

“Why?!”

The Profound God Ancestor of the Pei family, startled from his seclusion, rushed out and, upon seeing the scene, his eyes immediately split with rage.

A hint of terror was hidden deep within his eyes.

“Die!”

The Profound Fire Treasure Mirror enveloped him from above, incinerating his physical body.

Hong Lan cast a hand seal, sealing the half-crippled Profound God soul.

Then she quickly plundered the Pei family; the series of actions flowed smoothly like water.

After completing all this, Hong Lan secretly sighed, “Young Master’s magical treasures are truly too powerful.”

She was a top-tier existence among Xuan Shen Peak, with few rivals in the Immortal Realm.

It was easy to defeat a Profound God, but difficult to kill an early-stage Profound God.

However, with the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror in hand, Profound Gods were like ants; whoever it targeted, died.

If the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror were upgraded to an Immortal King Artifact, its power would be unimaginable.

“Even an Innate Spirit Treasure couldn’t rival it!” Hong Lan thought to herself.

“And the Time-Space Shuttle, it not only possesses the mighty power to traverse time and space but can also assist one in comprehending the Great Dao of Time and Space. I truly don’t know where Young Master obtained it!”

...Time flew by!

For five consecutive months, Hong Lan and the other three ceaselessly carried out their slaughter.

This caused widespread panic in the Immortal Realm, with many families and sects trembling in fear.

The Immortal King, who had been secretly manipulating things, intervened to stop them, but was scared away by Hong Lan’s cry of “Master.”

It was well known that Immortal King He Guang doted on his daughter as if she were his life, treating Hong Lan, Shu Ying, Yi Tang, and Wan He like sisters.

Once, an Immortal King giant, wishing to curry favor with Immortal King He Guang, proposed taking two of the four as concubines.

He Guang Immortal King pursued him to the outer regions and slew him.

“A heaven-sent fortune, an opportunity for an Immortal Emperor, right before my eyes, yet unattainable!” Immortal King Chong Ren sighed and returned home.

In the third heaven of Starry Sky.

Liu Ruyan absorbed the last wisp of law essence, opening her eyes, which were filled with joy.

In just a few decades, she had converted her immortal essence and broken through to the fourth layer of Heavenly God.

Moreover, she had awakened an innate divine ability.

The others also had great gains, each with excited expressions.

“I never thought that I, Ji Zhuoya, would also have a day when I awaken my innate divine ability. It’s all thanks to the Dao Fruit A Qing gave.”

Ji Zhuoya’s excitement was palpable.

Although they were comprehending the Dao, the moment Gu Qing cast the Dao Fruits, they awakened.

Immediately, they fell into an epiphany, as if immersed in the ocean of the Great Dao.

This caused their strength to soar and break through.

“Indeed, indeed. For our Star God Temple to gain such a disciple, it is truly a blessing from heaven for our Star Lineage, and also a fortune we have cultivated over nine lifetimes.”

Ancestor Xiang Shiqun was filled with emotion.

He paused, then added, “And Jiang Yu.”

As for Zhi Meng, forget it; she was just here to collect a debt, so it’s best not to mention her.

“Alright, stop being so sentimental; he doesn’t like hearing this either.”

Ji Zhuowen interrupted the two’s pointless groaning.

This immediately drew a death glare from Ji Zhuoya. Ji Zhuowen gave an awkward smile, “Sister, I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Then what did you mean?”

“Alright, stop arguing.”

Xiang Shiqun’s expression was stern as he stopped the bickering of the dragon-phoenix twins.

“Let’s go quickly. Such a large sect, relying on him alone to support it, we cannot help him in the slightest.”

“Hmph!” Ji Zhuoya snorted, “Ancestor is right, unlike some people, whose heads are full of wooden blocks, who don’t know the preciousness of Dao Fruits, and don’t know the difficulties of the current situation.”

“Ancestor, calm down. Let’s go find Gu Qing first!” Liu Ruyan pulled Ji Zhuoya’s hand and turned to leave.

“Wait!”

“The Starry Sky is vast and boundless. With our cultivation, we wouldn’t reach the exit even if we flew for a thousand years.”

Xiang Shiqun took out the teleportation array disc given by Jiang Yu and tossed it into the air.

“Everyone, come in. We’ll teleport out together.”

The teleportation array disc emitted a soft light, enveloping the few people, and instantly teleported them to the first heaven.

Liu Ruyan immediately went to look for Gu Qing.

She didn't find Gu Qing, but instead encountered the person she least wanted to see.

“Ruyan.” Shen Yi’s eyes erupted with brilliant light.

“Hmph!” Liu Ruyan snorted and turned to leave.

Shen Yi and Liu Ruyi followed.

Liu Ruyan was furious with the two little tails behind her, so she simply plunged into the Scripture Pavilion.

Xing Yue immediately found her master and, overjoyed, hugged her master’s delicate body: “Master, I’m back.”

Wang Yue’s clear, gentle eyes showed a doting expression: “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back. If you didn’t come back, your man would have been snatched away by your good friend.”

“Master is talking nonsense again!” Xing Yue chided.

What kind of person was Xi Ling? Others might not know, but didn’t she?

Wang Yue: “This master isn’t talking nonsense, oh. She really did seduce your man. If you don’t believe me, go into the Boundless Heavenly Palace and ask. She’s cultivating in the Purple Bamboo Forest.”

Xing Yue’s delicate body stiffened, and she stared blankly at her master: “Really?”

“Really!” Wang Yue replied seriously.

Xing Yue’s expression changed repeatedly.

She never expected that she would actually have her man stolen by her rival friend.

“Damn Xi Ling, to actually steal my man while I was away. I will definitely not let you off,” Xing Yue gritted her teeth.

Wang Yue patted her disciple’s head: “Don’t panic, disciple. That little fellow still likes you.”

“Hmm, where did Junior Brother go?” Xing Yue asked.

“He went into seclusion. He hasn’t been seen for several months.”

“Alright, once I pass the Profound God lightning tribulation, I’ll go settle scores with Xi Ling.”

Xing Yue was already at the peak of Heavenly God. She could have broken through to Profound God long ago, but she had been suppressing it to accumulate her foundation and prove the supreme Dao Fruit.

Now, after comprehending the essence of the laws for many years and consuming a Tongtian Dao Fruit, her Dao was already complete.

It was also fortunate that the Starry Sky could isolate heavenly secrets, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to suppress it, and the lightning tribulation would have already found her.

In fact, Xing Yue could have completely broken through to Profound God in the Starry Sky. After breaking through, she would no longer need to undergo the lightning tribulation.

However, for all beings, lightning tribulation is a tribulation of life and death, but also a great opportunity. Xing Yue did not want to miss it.

She cultivated the Nine Heavens Xuan Yuan Dao Scripture, the Heaven-Opening Diagram, and the Nine Revolution Heavenly Star Art. A mere lightning tribulation could not harm her in the slightest.

For her, the lightning tribulation was a great fortune.

“That’s good!”

A bright light flashed in Wang Yue’s eyes. With a wave of her hand, she picked a Yunmeng Dao Fruit.

“Taking something without asking is stealing, but I’ve given it back to the mistress now, so it doesn’t count as stealing.”

Xing Yue’s mouth twitched: “No, such a supreme treasure is too precious. We…”

“Take it. Your little man doesn’t need Dao Fruits. If you don’t use it, he’ll give it to other little vixen.”

“You don’t want to be surpassed by Xi Ling, do you?”

Wang Yue had long seen Gu Qing’s physique; it was incredibly powerful, possessing a Chaos Foundation.

Any Dao Fruit in the world was useless to him, only serving to satisfy his hunger.

Furthermore, she suspected that Gu Qing had even better treasures than Dao Fruits.

Otherwise, his cultivation wouldn’t have improved so quickly.

How many years had passed, and he had already achieved pseudo-Immortal King status with the help of external objects.

And he was different from other pseudo-Immortal Kings.

She couldn’t quite discern how he was different.

But she could be certain that he was definitely not a pseudo-Immortal King whose path was cut off.

Gu Qing could prove Dao as an Immortal King again at any time.
