408: Xi Ling who wants to turn things around

“Brother Yan is absolutely right!”

“It’s understandable that Brother Guo wants to be appreciated by an Elder through Starry Sky Academy and thus join the Boundless Divine Sect.”

“But isn’t that taking too much for granted?”

One of them interjected.

After a pause, he continued, “Brother Guo, don’t forget, You Kui is the only remaining inheritor of the Star Lineage in the Boundless Divine Sect.”

“However, You Kui can’t possibly personally teach students. We can’t even meet him, so how can we expect You Kui to appreciate us?”

“As for Left Cloud Star, he has his own direct disciples and has stated that he will never take in disciples who seek to learn from a master in this life.”

“The remaining Taiyin Lineage Elders…”

At this point, he shook his head and said no more.

Everyone understood his meaning.

The female Profound God cultivators of the Taiyin Lineage simply do not accept male disciples.

In short, becoming a student at Starry Sky Academy seems to offer a sliver of opportunity, but in reality, it’s so slim as to be nonexistent.

Rather than spending countless hours striving for that one chance, it would be more practical to wait here, hoping Gu Qing would suddenly soften and take them as nominal disciples.

After all, their talents are monstrous; they are unparalleled prodigies among billions… Purple Bamboo Forest!

Xi Ling stopped cultivating, her eyes filled with joy.

Profound God Sixth Realm Peak—her breakthrough speed was hundreds, even thousands of times faster than she had anticipated.

In addition to the assistance of the purple bamboo and the Origin Spirit Pearl, the Divine King’s Core Cultivation was indispensable.

The greatness of a Divine King needs no further explanation!

Even a mortal with no cultivation could achieve Immortal King cultivation by dual cultivating with Gu Qing.

It was merely a matter of time.

If Gu Qing broke through to Divine Emperor, or even Master God… then… she could just lie back and win.

At this thought, Xi Ling’s mind was complex.

She had strived for nine lifetimes, yet saw no hope of attaining the Dao of an Immortal Emperor, forced to resort to extreme measures, using the Heaven Refining Great Array to break through.

But by following Gu Qing, she could simply lie back and win steadily.

So, did she still need to take the risk of refining the Eternal Universe?

No, she couldn't fall into depravity!

“Hoo!”

Xi Ling let out a long breath, shaking the thought of lying flat out of her mind.

It’s better to rely on oneself than on others.

Entrusting one's fate to others will inevitably lead to being abandoned by fate.

She absolutely could not become a dodder flower that lived by relying on a man.

She wanted to control her own destiny.

However… Xi Ling’s eyes sparkled.

When faced with irresistible forces, compromise is the best option.

Temporarily being a vase, a dodder flower that lives by relying on a man, might not be a bad choice after all.

“I must drain this scoundrel dry, trick him out of all his treasures, and make him protect my Dao.”

“I want to attain the Dao of an Immortal Emperor one step ahead of him, refine the Eternal Universe, take this scoundrel as my male concubine, and turn the tables to become the master.” Xi Ling thought to herself.

A pair of beautiful, glazed eyes showed a hint of triumph.

As if she had already seen Gu Qing calling her ‘Elder Sister’ with a frustrated and suppressed expression, a fawning look on his face.

Just like her current self.

No, she would get it back a hundred, a thousand times over.

Thinking of this, Xi Ling’s eyes gradually firmed, and she got up and left the Purple Bamboo Forest.

To surpass Gu Qing, she had to use extraordinary means.

While being a 'green tea' might be scorned, those who use it know its power.

After searching for a while and not finding anyone, Xi Ling sent a message to inquire, then arrived at the Limitless Palace.

When she saw all the familiar faces in the main hall, Xi Ling was stunned.

Why were all the Elders of the Taiyin Dao Sect here?

“Congratulations, Divine Maiden, on finding a good match!”

Seeing Xi Ling directly sit on the Cult Master’s throne, everyone couldn't help but show joy, offering their congratulations.

Xi Ling was the Divine Maiden of the Taiyin Dao Sect, and her relationship with the Old Ancestor was profound.

She was one of their own.

With Xi Ling becoming Gu Qing’s Dao companion, they would now be Gu Qing’s direct lineage.

They wouldn't have to worry about Gu Qing taking male disciples and then exploiting them to improve their cultivation, or letting male disciples use them to cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record.

“Mm!”

Xi Ling hummed in response and asked, “What are you doing at the Boundless Divine Sect?”

“Divine Maiden, we have merged with the Boundless Divine Sect, and we are currently discussing the merger…”

Miao Yue briefly explained the situation.

They had been holding meetings here for several months already.

They had been discussing the merger of the merchant associations, the reclaiming of the Sun Merchant Association, the Ziwei Merchant Association, as well as mines, secret realms, cultivation caves, teleportation arrays, immortal herb gardens, and so on.

And also how to handle and appease the affiliated forces.

Over several months, they had been discussing and simultaneously sending messages to command, dispatching powerful experts to various locations to suppress rebellions.

They were so busy they didn't even have time to drink water.

“Damn that Mo Wantang.” Xi Ling secretly gnashed her teeth after listening.

She never expected Mo Wantang to be so decisive, directly choosing to merge the two sects.

Saying she wanted to sleep with Gu Qing, it was probably a hidden agenda.

No, perhaps Mo Wantang had originally intended to take both the person and the wealth, coveting the position of Cult Master’s wife.

The so-called cooperation was just to mislead her and prevent her from interfering.

The more Xi Ling thought about it, the angrier she became.

Daring to snatch the Cult Master’s wife position from her, Mo Wantang was simply courting death.

She had schemed against Mo Wantang so many times, and this was the first time Mo Wantang had schemed against her.

She simply couldn’t swallow this insult.

She had to find an opportunity to retaliate.

Thinking this, Xi Ling’s expression turned cold, and she looked at Hong Lan, asking, “Hong Yi, where is Gu Qing?”

She needed to find Gu Qing first and clarify how far their relationship had progressed, so she could then devise a strategy to deal with Mo Wantang.

“The Young Master has gone into seclusion!”

“When will he come out of seclusion?”

“I don’t know!” Hong Lan shook her head, feeling bitter inside.

An Immortal King's seclusion could last for countless years.

Her desire to hold a little young master and young mistress, it seemed, would again be indefinitely postponed.

“Don’t worry, Eldest Miss, I’m sure the Young Master will come out of seclusion very soon.” Wan He interjected.

“Oh?” Xi Ling said “oh” and waited for the rest.

“The Young Master entrusted Miss Xian’er and Miss Yan’er to Shu Ying; he certainly won’t abandon them.”

“The Young Master’s seclusion this time is likely due to an epiphany, and I believe he will emerge within a few years.”

Wan He said.

Hearing about Xian’er and Yan’er, everyone in the hall twitched their mouths.

Upon arriving at the Boundless Divine Sect, all immortal herbs were taken by Shu Ying.

Out of curiosity, they asked and learned of Xian’er and Yan’er’s existence.

The women were all incredibly curious about Gu Qing’s bloodline, so they all went to see the two little bundles of joy.

They were indeed cute, but they ate too much.

They were almost eating the Boundless Divine Sect into collapse.

The immortal spirit herbs and immortal beasts they had cultivated for countless years were only enough for the two little girls to eat a few meals.

Even a divine beast like the gluttonous Taotie didn’t have such a huge appetite.

The origins of the two little girls were definitely higher than they could imagine.

Xi Ling’s eyes lit up: “Where are they?”

She had always been curious about what divine beast cubs looked like and what divine peculiarities they possessed, but she had never had the chance to see them.

Several times she had expressed a desire to see the two little bundles, but Gu Qing guarded against her like a thief.

Jiang Yu also wouldn't let her see them.

Now both of them were in seclusion.

She would definitely seize this opportunity to see them and examine the origin of the divine beast cubs.

Perhaps it would inspire her Dao.

“In Shu Ying’s cave mansion.” Wan He said.

Her eyes were filled with envy.

Shu Ying and Yi Tang didn’t have to do anything and could still raise children; this was too unfair.

After the important matters were discussed, they should switch; it would be her and Hong Lan’s turn to take care of the children.

“You all continue; I’m going to see them.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Ling immediately couldn’t sit still and got up to leave.

Everyone looked at each other, and Miao Yue hesitated, saying, “Hong Lan, we’ve been working continuously for several months. How about we take a break and relieve some stress?”

The two little babies were too cute, too divine.

Her heart was itching, and she really wanted to go see them too.

Moreover, feeding the two little bundles made her incredibly happy.

“Exactly, as the saying goes, combining work and rest allows for more efficient and rational handling of important sect matters.”

The women immediately lost interest in work.

Feeding the cubs was more important.

“…”

Hong Lan’s mouth twitched, utterly speechless.

Although she also really wanted to go nurse the babies.

But… they were discussing important sect matters!

How could these women have no career ambition at all?

Looking at the hopeful gazes of the women, Hong Lan nodded helplessly.
