41: Taiyin and Taiyang Chaos Record, killing the newlywed husband

“System, check her attribute data and also her personality.”

Gu Qing was very interested in this female villain who dared to dig out the protagonist’s Supreme Bone.

Name: Luo Li.

Realm: Profound Pill ninth-level peak.

Physique: Phoenix bloodline, Supreme Bone, Unextinguished Divine Phoenix Body of Eternity (unassembled).

Talent: Born Close to the Dao, Unprecedented.

Fate: Destined Villain.

Destiny: Continuous good fortune, fated tribulation.

Luck: 200,000.

Personality: Ruthless and vicious, vindictive, deep schemer, strong desire for power, holds the reins of power… “Good heavens, this personality truly befits a villain.” Gu Qing’s eyelids twitched.

With Luo Li’s personality, the coming days were sure to be anything but peaceful.

Luo Li would definitely stir up trouble in the Star God Temple.

“System, why is her luck even higher than Xiao Yi’s, Lin Chen’s, and Lin Yang’s?”

Two hundred thousand luck points—if he didn’t know she was a villain, Gu Qing would have thought she was a Child of Destiny.

It’s normal. Villains are also born with immense luck, but without the protagonist’s luck-plundering halo, they will ultimately have less luck than the protagonist.

So that’s how it is… Gu Qing understood, and continued to ask, “Is there a difference between the Phoenix bloodline and the Unextinguished Divine Phoenix Body of Eternity?”

There’s a huge difference.

The Phoenix bloodline can at most rival a high-grade Divine Body, while the Unextinguished Divine Phoenix Body of Eternity, also known as the Undying Body of Myriad Tribulations, is immortal and has no relation to the Divine Beast Phoenix.

“??? What do you mean?”

She possesses the undying origin that has endured myriad tribulations and has begun to merge with the Phoenix bloodline. Once successful, it will be the immortal and undying Unextinguished Divine Phoenix Body of Eternity, capable of Nirvana rebirth with a single thought.

Amazing… Gu Qing’s heart surged with tumultuous waves.

Undying meant she couldn’t be killed.

Coupled with the Born Close to the Dao and Unprecedented talents, Luo Li was practically invincible.

So the question was, how would Luo Li’s nemesis, Ye Hao, contend with her?

Did he possess a physique even more terrifying than Luo Li’s?

Thinking this, Gu Qing smiled slightly at her, found an excuse, and left the Goddess Hall to head to the Star God Temple’s treasury.

No matter how formidable the protagonist or villain, Gu Qing only wanted to quietly cultivate and grow stronger.

His greatest dream in this life was to achieve longevity and oversee the changes of countless eons.

Luo Li’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed, myriad calculations flashing through her mind, and she bowed respectfully to Zhi Meng.

“Master, what kind of physique does Senior Brother have?”

“Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, and your Senior Sister has the Lunar Divine Body.”

Zhi Meng spoke indifferently, “Your Senior Brother’s talent is Unprecedented. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask him.”

“Supreme Divine Body…”

Shock appeared in Luo Li’s phoenix-like eyes.

This was a legendary physique that appeared only once in an eternity.

“Yes, this is a golden age, with all sorts of legendary physiques emerging endlessly.”

Zhi Meng sighed faintly.

She thought of her stinky sister’s beloved disciple.

Constantly cursed by her stinky sister, she originally didn’t care; it was just an ant with a bit of talent, nothing to worry about.

She was confident that any disciple she casually trained could suppress her stinky sister’s disciple.

But when she saw Lin Chuqing in person, she fell silent.

Even if she poured all her efforts into cultivating Su Qingyue, she would definitely not be Lin Chuqing’s opponent.

That’s why she thought about taking another disciple.

Although she also held no hope for Luo Li to defeat Lin Chuqing.

But that didn’t mean their aptitudes were far apart.

Both had boundless futures, with the potential to become gods and ascend.

She had many disciples, while her stinky sister only had one, so she wouldn’t lose too badly.

It was also fortunate that Zhi Meng didn’t know Luo Li had an unawakened Unextinguished Divine Phoenix Body of Eternity, otherwise she definitely wouldn’t have thought this way.

Zhi Meng asked, “How is your Supreme Bone merging?”

“Master, I don’t want to merge with the Supreme Bone anymore.”

Luo Li said in a deep voice.

“Why?” Zhi Meng was stunned. She took Luo Li as a disciple precisely because of her Phoenix bloodline and Supreme Bone; the two combined would complement each other perfectly.

The Phoenix bloodline could perfectly nourish the Supreme Bone, turning it into her own, and even cultivating powerful The Power of Law.

Su Qingyue also looked at Luo Li in confusion.

If she didn’t want to merge, why did she dig out someone else’s bone?

One must know that the Supreme Bone was the most promising existence to advance to the Supreme Divine Body.

Using the Supreme Bone, one could refine one’s flesh, blood, and bones into a Supreme Treasure Body, nurturing innate law patterns.

“I want to refine it for my own use.”

“I am inherently invincible, why should I borrow another’s bone?”

Luo Li’s phoenix-like eyes were resolute, her aura majestic and sacred, like an unrivaled emperor.

It was impossible to tell that she was a teenage girl.

“Confidence is good, but you must also recognize yourself.”

Zhi Meng spoke coldly, dismissing Luo Li’s words with disdain.

With her discerning eye, she could tell at a glance that Luo Li couldn’t even defeat Su Qingyue, yet she claimed to be invincible?

What a joke.

“Master, although I am unremarkable now, if I didn’t have absolute certainty, how would I dare to joke with my future?”

Luo Li’s ambition was great. Upon breaking through to the ninth level of the Profound Pill Realm, she discovered that she had an unawakened peerless physique, containing innate immortal divinity.

Once awakened, it would definitely be no worse than the Supreme Divine Body, so she naturally looked down on the Supreme Bone.

That’s why she wanted to refine the Supreme Bone to accelerate the awakening of her peerless Divine Body.

But she dared not reveal such a secret, fearing that Zhi Meng would extract her origin.

After all, her Supreme Bone was dug from her fiancé, and by judging others by herself, Luo Li worried she would suffer the same fate as her fiancé.

“Then what do you want?”

Seeing Luo Li’s firm declaration, Zhi Meng frowned and asked.

“Disciple wishes for a refining method. I ask Master to grant it.”

Luo Li bowed respectfully.

Zhi Meng hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Although she didn’t think highly of Luo Li, this was Luo Li’s own decision, and she wouldn’t interfere too much.

“Thank you, Master, for granting my wish!”

Luo Li was overjoyed.

With this refining method, she could perfectly refine the Supreme Bone for her own use, thereby awakening her peerless Divine Body, and even merge it with her Phoenix bloodline.

“Mm, you may leave.”

“Yes, Master.”

Luo Li and Su Qingyue withdrew from the main hall.

“Senior Sister, please take good care of me in the future.”

“What are you saying, Junior Sister? My cultivation is not even as good as yours,” Su Qingyue said with a smile.

Seeing this, Luo Li felt even better.

A naive Senior Sister, nothing to fear.

Once she awakened her peerless Divine Body, she would begin to scheme for the position of Saintess.

And Gu Qing… the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body was a precious treasure of the Star God Temple, so it was not easy to target him directly; it would be best to win him over.

Luo Li had absolute confidence in her charm and believed Gu Qing would eventually fall for her… On the other side, Gu Qing handed over the Solar Dao Scripture to an elder guarding the treasury.

“Elder Gu, this disciple would like a Star Fruit.”

“Don’t just say one Star Fruit; take whatever you fancy.”

Gu Dao stroked his white beard, looking benevolent and kind.

He looked at Gu Qing, growing more satisfied with each glance.

Gu Qing enjoyed such an honor not only because of his Supreme Divine Body, but because his Supreme Divine Body was the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.

This was the same physique as their founding patriarch, so they naturally wanted to cultivate him with all their might, hoping to raise a young patriarch.

If it were any other Supreme Divine Body, it would certainly be impossible to freely take treasures from the Star God Temple.

Even the Divine Fire Realm ancestors couldn’t just take whatever they wanted.

“Thank you, Elder!”

Gu Qing’s face showed joy, and after thanking him, he stepped into the treasury.

The treasury was a Saint Artifact, and it had a spirit.

Whatever you wanted, you just had to silently utter it, and it would automatically appear before the desired treasure.

Thirty jade boxes. Gu Qing opened one, and divine light burst forth, with Star Dao Rhythm permeates.

He saw a fruit, like a small star universe, dotted with starlight, vast and profound, not at all like a fruit.

“I want nine.”

When He Ni saw there were thirty Star Fruit, she immediately exclaimed.

One was just a temporary measure; if there were more, her ingenious cave-heaven would be opened more perfectly.

“Alright!”

Gu Qing hesitated slightly, then nodded, giving her nine and taking four for himself.

“I want Three Lights Divine Water.”

As soon as he spoke, Gu Qing appeared in another place, with thousands of jade bottles floating before him.

Each jade bottle contained a hundred drops of Three Lights Divine Water.

One must know that Three Lights Divine Water was a sacred healing item, capable of reshaping the physical body.

Even a single drop was a priceless treasure.

However, the Star God Temple had accumulated thousands of bottles, showing its profound foundation.

“Help me take nine bottles!”

“Okay.”

Gu Qing hesitated, then took only nine bottles.

He thought that the Starlight Divine Water he refined from the Golden Gourd should be no worse than the Star God Temple’s Three Lights Divine Water.

He would try it another day, and if it wasn’t as good as the Star God Temple’s Three Lights Divine Water, it wouldn’t be too late to come back and claim more.

Clearly, Gu Qing felt a bit embarrassed to take too many treasures from the Star God Temple.

After all, they didn’t just appear out of thin air.

They were all collected by the predecessors of the Star God Temple through immense hardship.

Unless absolutely necessary, one should not be too greedy.

“Go and get some divine iron.”

He Ni said excitedly.

“Divine Iron!”

Gu Qing instantly appeared before a planet.

This planet was very similar to the Star Fruit, but much larger, spanning nine directions.

Like a planet, yet also like a small universe encompassing all phenomena, it emitted a hazy starlight, with Dao Rhythm permeates.

“A complete Star Iron Mother! Quickly take it and refine it into your destined supreme treasure.”

Although He Ni also longed to obtain it, she was clear about debts of gratitude and knew that the Star Iron Mother was extremely important to Gu Qing.

Hearing this, Gu Qing’s heart skipped a beat.

Although the divine iron for refining divine artifacts was good, refining divine artifacts was painstaking and laborious. Refining one was enough; refining too many would severely delay his breakthrough.

Moreover, compared to refining it himself, Gu Qing preferred to get it for free.

Perhaps in the future, he could draw divine artifacts or Innate Spirit Treasures from his godfather.

There was really no need to painstakingly refine a divine artifact.

Gu Qing put away the Star Iron Mother and then silently recited 'flying magical treasure'.

In an instant, he appeared in another place, with various chariots and void flying boats floating before his eyes, emitting dazzling light.

“He Ni, help me see which void flying boat is the best,” Gu Qing transmitted, asking.

“What type of void flying boat do you want? Small void flying boats are the fastest, while medium and large void flying boats are powerful, consume more energy, and have a lot of space...” He Ni asked.

“Do small void flying boats have a cultivation chamber and can they fly automatically?” Gu Qing asked.

“Yes, these are all basic functions of void flying boats. It seems you want a small void flying boat.”

“Then choose that void flying boat.”

The void flying boat was the highest-grade among all the void flying boats here, a Saint artifact.

It possessed defensive arrays, spirit-gathering arrays, stealth arrays, trap-and-kill arrays, and more.

As long as there was enough energy, it could kill a King Realm expert, and even a Supreme Realm expert couldn't catch up to it.

If Gu Qing could fully control it, then even a Saint Realm expert couldn't catch up to it.

“Let’s go look at high-grade beast meat next.”

“Okay!”

Finally, Gu Qing took two Saint Realm beast corpses.

It was fortunate that these two beasts were placed in a spatial treasure box, otherwise, a wisp of their overflowing aura could have annihilated Gu Qing.

Returning to his cave, Gu Qing took out the Golden Gourd and stored the melted divine iron liquid, then began to melt the two Saint Realm beasts.

When poured out, it was like a vast ocean.

The Saint Realm beasts were simply too enormous, hundreds of miles long.

Gu Qing truly had his eyes opened.

“You want to give me the Star Iron Mother?”

Looking at the Star Iron Mother that suddenly appeared before her, He Ni was somewhat in disbelief.

Other things were fine, after all, the Star God Temple had stock, and Gu Qing wouldn't use it all.

But there was only one piece of Star Iron Mother.

This was divine iron that could be used to refine a natal magical treasure.

“Yes, take it. Consider it a small token of your kindness for giving me the Heaven Opening Divine Halberd,” Gu Qing said.

Upon hearing this, He Ni gave Gu Qing a deep look, then accepted it with pleasure, saying, “When I emerge from seclusion, I’ll give you a big surprise.”

“Good! I’ll be waiting.”

Gu Qing responded, closed the Qiankun Sword, and then took a small sip of the divine iron liquid. It wasn't that the taste was good; it was simply bland.

Moreover, the divine iron liquid was as mild as mercury, with no reaction whatsoever in his body.

Gu Qing tried to circulate the Chaos Treasure Bottle Seal, refining himself, and melting the divine iron liquid into his three thousand acupoint-cave heavens.

He saw drops of liquid merge with the acupoints, then give birth to world-shaking sword qi.

“It really works.” Gu Qing was overjoyed.

The cave heavens, infused with the divine iron liquid, were like a fetal membrane, capable of nurturing divine swords.

This was far more powerful than directly refining them into swords.

After all, if they were refined into swords, they would need to be constantly fed with divine iron.

By refining the divine sword fetal membrane acupoint-cave heavens, he could continuously nourish the divine swords with spiritual energy.

Thinking this, Gu Qing drank it all down. Soon, he had refined his three thousand acupoint-cave heavens into fetal membranes. From now on, he only needed spiritual energy to nourish divine swords.

[Host, your Chaos Treasure Bottle Seal is extremely heaven-defying, an unparalleled divine ability secret method. You must study it well; it will definitely benefit you immensely.]

The system reminded him.

Gu Qing hummed in response, then shielded his godfather.

He went straight to the Sutra Pavilion he had been thinking about, entering a state of ignoring everything else and focusing solely on studying the sages' books.

Time flew by, like an arrow shot from a bow.

In the first month, Gu Qing read over ten thousand Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow cultivation methods, laying a solid foundation.

In the second month, Gu Qing read a hundred King-level, Venerable-level, and Saint-level cultivation methods.

In the third month, Gu Qing read cultivation insights.

In the fourth month, Gu Qing read many divine abilities and secret arts, deriving divine ability imprints within his body as he read and deduced.

Gu Qing was like a sponge, furiously absorbing knowledge.

Learning made him happy.

Gu Qing seemed to have entered an endless ocean of joy.

In the fifth month, Gu Qing returned to his cave to cultivate in seclusion, merging cultivation methods. Mysterious Chaos Dao rhyme surged around him... A year later, Gu Qing successfully merged the Chaos Immortal Scripture. Although his realm hadn't broken through, he was several times stronger than before, further perfecting the Chaos Immortal Scripture and gaining a deeper understanding of the Dao.

“He Ni, I’m going into seclusion to break through my realm. When are you going to undergo your lightning tribulation?”

After reshaping the physical body, there was a lightning tribulation. Only by passing the lightning tribulation was it true rebirth.

“You go into seclusion. I’m not in a hurry.”

He Ni’s ethereal voice carried a hint of joy.

Clearly, her innate Saint Body Dao Fetus was perfected, her three thousand acupoint-cave heavens were perfectly opened, and she had nurtured a peerless divine sword.

She could undergo the lightning tribulation and embrace rebirth at any time.

If she didn't undergo the tribulation, she could still cultivate, and the effect would be even better.

“Alright then!”

Gu Qing quickly went to the treasure vault, claimed a King Realm beast, and melted it into treasure liquid.

Although Chu Yao had given him a lot of beast meat, it did not include King Realm beasts.

Even Refining Spirit Realm ones were extremely rare.

This was unavoidable.

A King Realm beast, even a single drop of its blood, was a treasure, usually used for auctions.

Gu Qing poured out the treasure liquid, which flooded the mountaintop, with rich vitality steaming and colorful light shimmering.

He still had more than half of it left to pour out.

“If I refine all of this, it should be enough for me to break through to the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm and evolve my Chaotic Star Body to one hundred percent, right?”

“I also wonder if I will awaken a natal divine ability.”

Thinking this, Gu Qing adjusted his mindset and circulated the Chaos Immortal Scripture.

Instantly, his Profound Pill directly transformed into a primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit was identical to Gu Qing, just proportionally smaller.

The primordial spirit flew into the Nine-Colored Soul Lotus, absorbing the innate qi of the Nine-Colored Soul Lotus, cleansing and strengthening his divine soul.

Refining Spirit Realm first level... Refining Spirit Realm second level... Refining Spirit Realm fifth level... While his realm rapidly broke through, Gu Qing's divine body was undergoing a heaven-shaking transformation.

“Such a temperament at such a young age is excellent. I was afraid he would get lost in endless glory and couldn't endure the loneliness of cultivation...”

“Zhi Meng, has he found his own Dao, wanting to fuse all laws to prove the Dao?”

The old monster lying in the coffin asked Zhi Meng with an excited tone.

At this moment, Gu Qing’s aura was too profound, constantly in a state of unity with heaven and earth. Every move he made could change the magnetic field of heaven and earth.

He seemed to be the center of the world, with all the laws of heaven and earth following him.

Yet, he also exuded an aura of transcendence, as if he didn't belong to this world's beings, but was a high and mighty innate divine being.

“That’s right. He possesses heaven-defying comprehension, a rock-solid temperament, and a pure heart seeking the Dao. The least worth mentioning about him is the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.”

Zhi Meng recalled the scene of debating Dao laws and divine abilities with Gu Qing, and her red lips curved into a smile.

“Old Ancestor, another day I’ll let him go to you to listen to the sound of the Great Dao.”

“Good, good, good. At least you still have some conscience.”

“With talent, perseverance, and great luck, I truly don’t know how far he will go in the future.”

“Stop with the useless talk. Cultivating behind closed doors like this all day is not the way. Talking about war on paper is shallow; one must practice to truly understand. Strong individuals are forged in blood and fire.”

“Should we establish him as a Saint Son and let him go out to contend with those divine bodies?”

“The position of Saint Son is not worthy of him. I think Divine Son is quite good...”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the old monsters fell silent.

Their gazes all fell upon Zhi Meng.

The most honorable identities in the Star God Temple were not the Saint Sons and Saintesses, nor the Temple Master.

But the Divine Sons and Divine Daughters.

Since ancient times, every Divine Son and Divine Daughter of the Star God Temple had become a god and ascended to the Immortal Realm, becoming a magnate in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, Divine Sons and Divine Daughters were meant to cultivate together.

The Star God Temple had a Taiyin Sun Chaos Record.

This was the supreme inherited divine art of the Star God Temple, capable of cultivating a Post-Heaven Yin-Yang Chaos Body.

Zhi Meng and Gu Qing were master and disciple. Although the Star God Temple had no rule against masters and disciples becoming spouses, the age and strength gap between the two was too great.

Of course, the Star God Temple also had no rule that Divine Sons and Divine Daughters *must* cultivate together.

It was just that previous Divine Sons and Divine Daughters, for the sake of the supreme Great Dao, ultimately chose to cultivate together voluntarily.

They jointly studied the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record.

This was also why they were so powerful, ascending to the Immortal Realm without exception.

Speaking of which, in Zhi Meng’s era, they had established a Divine Son who had a Pure Yang Dao Body and monstrous talent.

Moreover, the two were childhood sweethearts, innocent and deeply affectionate, a perfect match for Zhi Meng.

But for some unknown reason, on the day of their wedding banquet, Zhi Meng killed her newlywed husband.
