44: Feed them all to the pigs.

On Saintess Peak, Su Qingyue held a small, pink, tender fragrant pig in her arms, her eyes filled with a smile.

“It’s only been a little over a year, and you’ve already broken through from the Profound Pill Realm to the seventh layer of the Refining Spirit Realm.”

“I really envy you top-tier Divine Bodies; breaking through realms is as simple as eating and drinking for you. You even have to worry about breaking through too fast and intentionally suppress your cultivation.”

“How can this make us, who consume treasures and painstakingly comprehend to break through, feel?”

“It’s truly infuriating when you compare yourself to others.”

Chu Yao looked envious, wishing she also had a top-tier Divine Body, but alas, she could only fantasize.

“Not at all, it’s all due to Master’s excellent guidance, and I also consumed a Star Fruit and Three Lights Divine Water.”

These two divine items can enhance one's aptitude, strengthen the Divine Soul, and purify it.

If she hadn't suppressed her realm, consuming just one Star Fruit would have been enough for her to break through to the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm.

“That’s true, the Star God Temple truly lives up to its reputation as an immortal Dao tradition that has flourished for countless eons.”

Chu Yao naturally and skillfully linked arms with Su Qingyue.

Over a year of companionship had made the two into close sisters who could talk about anything.

With a joyful expression, she said, “I traded a Star Fruit with Young Master Gu, which transformed my physique. Coupled with your Three Lights Divine Water cleansing my body and Divine Soul, I am now no weaker than the Star God Temple’s true disciples.”

After joining the Star God Temple, she realized there were always greater heights and more capable people.

Before, she thought she was invincible.

But she was soundly defeated by a Star God Temple inner disciple.

Now, she can contend with true disciples.

“Yes, our Star God Temple truly gathers a multitude of heaven’s chosen and monstrous talents.”

Su Qingyue sighed with emotion.

The disciples accepted by the Star God Temple are all prodigies from the All Heavens Myriad Realms.

After cultivating the Star God Temple’s cultivation methods, they become incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the competition within the Star God Temple is extremely brutal, and those who survive are all the cream of the crop.

Chu Yao hummed in agreement and said, “A few days ago, the Great Sun Holy Son and an inner disciple had a decisive battle, and neither side gained the upper hand.”

“That’s impossible, isn’t it?”

Su Qingyue was startled.

The Great Sun Holy Son, Zhang Yang, is a top-tier Divine Body.

As a Holy Son, he must have received the full cultivation of the Star God Temple, lacking neither divine techniques nor heavenly treasures.

Furthermore, with his array of magical artifacts, his combat power is terrifyingly formidable.

“It’s true. That inner disciple is named Jiang Yu, the young clan leader of an immortal family, and he possesses the Void Divine Body and Pure Yang Dao Bone,” Chu Yao explained.

“No wonder…” Su Qingyue suddenly understood.

The immortal Jiang Family, this is a family that has produced Divine Fire Realm ancestors, flourishing for tens of thousands of years, and the family has a Saint Realm ancestor.

As the young clan leader, and possessing a top-tier Divine Body, Jiang Yu must have received the full cultivation of the Jiang Family.

It made sense that he could fight Zhang Yang to a standstill.

However, none of this concerned her.

Su Qingyue lowered her head, her eyes smiling as she teased the little fragrant pig, poking it with her delicate hand.

“Hong Hong… you lazy pig, all you do all day is eat, drink, and sleep.”

“Oh dear! My little ancestor.”

Chu Yao grew anxious and said, “I’ve said so much, haven’t you understood what I mean?”

“What?”

“You are the Lunar Divine Body, and Zhang Yang is the Great Sun Divine Body. He will definitely seek you out for dual cultivation to enhance his strength and get revenge on Jiang Yu.”

Hearing this, Su Qingyue recalled the scenes of Zhang Yang pestering her, and her expression immediately changed as she asked.

“Isn’t he madly pursuing Junior Sister Luo Li recently?”

“Hmph, pursuing Luo Li doesn’t mean he’s given up on you. Men are all like this, eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.”

Chu Yao snorted coldly, poking her smooth forehead in exasperation.

“Also, Luo Li is cunning and ruthless. During this time, she has successively defeated many talented disciples, gathered followers, and befriended true disciples.”

“She is ambitious and has already begun to scheme for the position of Saintess.”

“I imagine it won’t be long before she challenges you.”

Hearing this, Su Qingyue remained silent.

Initially, she was quite happy to have a junior sister.

But after a few interactions, she knew that Luo Li harbored ill will towards her, wanting to pull her down from the position of Saintess and take her place.

However, knowing it was one thing, but she truly didn't know what to do.

She would absolutely not give up the position of Saintess; when the time came, they would just have to settle it with their skills.

“Listen to me. If Zhang Yang comes looking for you, you should first play along with him, then gather a group of followers to spread your fame, and try to befriend the true disciples of the main peaks.”

“That way, even if you lose to Luo Li, your position as Saintess will be unshakeable, especially since you are the Lunar Divine Body and can cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record.”

Chu Yao knew that her personality was simple and she wasn't good at communicating with people. From birth until now, she had either been cultivating in Wangyue Holy Land or in the Star God Temple, never having experienced the treachery of human hearts.

Asking her to deal with the insidious and cunning Luo Li was basically hopeless.

“I won’t…”

Su Qingyue shook her head.

Seeing Zhang Yang, she felt disgusted.

As for getting along well with disciples from other main peaks, she also wanted to.

But upon seeing people, she would become nervous, not knowing what to say or how to answer their questions.

She only wanted to be invisible.

Therefore, she always kept a cold expression, earning her the title of 'aloof goddess'.

Su Qingyue also didn't care how others viewed her; she only wanted to stay in her own world, quietly cultivating and growing stronger.

“Alas…” Chu Yao sighed.

With Su Qingyue uncooperative, even if she had a thousand methods, she was helpless.

After some thought, Chu Yao said, “Let’s go find Young Master Gu and see what his attitude is.”

“Senior Brother.”

Hearing Gu Qing’s name, Su Qingyue’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she pulled Chu Yao along.

Chu Yao shook her head, speechless.

A girl in love, everything was written on her face.

It was just a pity that the flowing water had no affection for the fallen flowers.

As for Gu Qing, she greatly admired him.

He ignored a beauty like a celestial fairy, instead burying himself in arduous cultivation every day.

“Young Master Gu is truly a cultivation fanatic.”

For her to go into seclusion for a year or two, it wasn't a big problem.

But to make her stay in the Scripture Pavilion for a year or two, painstakingly studying sagely texts, she couldn’t do it.

“Your Highness Saintess, our Holy Son requests your presence.”

As the two stepped out of Saintess Peak, a young man approached them with a smile.

“I’m busy, move aside.”

Su Qingyue’s beautiful face was calm.

“Saintess, our Holy Son…”

“Hmph.”

Before the young man could finish speaking, Su Qingyue snorted coldly and pointed a finger at him.

When dealing with persistent people, not taking action simply wouldn't solve the problem.

Boom~!

The extreme cold froze the surrounding air into ice.

The young man was only at the third layer of Refining Spirit, and even if he brought out his magical artifact, he was no match for Su Qingyue in a single exchange.

“You~”

Cai Fei was horrified, his heart filled with raging anger.

He was, after all, Zhang Yang’s man. How dared Su Qingyue attack and severely injure him without a word?

Cai Fei’s body and Divine Soul were corroded by the Taiyin Qi, making him half-crippled. To recover, he would need extremely rare healing elixirs.

“Let’s go.”

Su Qingyue didn’t look back.

Although doing this was a bit ruthless and cold-hearted, it felt really good.

After all, who wouldn't be disgusted by being stuck with an inseparable piece of dog-skin plaster?

Her entire day’s good mood was ruined.

Since Cai Fei was shamelessly refusing to leave, he had to pay the price.

This was what Gu Qing taught her: instead of wronging oneself, it’s better to defeat the enemy.

From then on, no one dared to pester her, and every day was a good mood.

“Pfft!”

Cai Fei circulated his energy and spat out a mouthful of ice shards, cold air radiating from them.

He shot a resentful glance at Su Qingyue’s disappearing back, then mounted his flying sword and left.

He arrived at Holy Son Peak, heading straight for the summit.

In the pavilion on the mist-shrouded summit, several young men were leisurely drinking wine.

“Holy Son.”

Cai Fei bowed to the tall young man standing outside the pavilion with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Useless.”

Zhang Yang didn’t turn his head, his voice filled with anger.

“I apologize, Holy Son, this subordinate is incompetent.”

Cai Fei lowered his head, his eyes filled with resentment.

“What did she say?”

“The Saintess didn’t say much; upon hearing the Holy Son’s name, she…”

“Useless thing.”

Zhang Yang turned around, his handsome face cold and indifferent, his eyes as sharp as knives, shooting out two beams of light.

Boom!

Cai Fei flew backward, the Taiyin cold qi and Sun fire poison within his body intertwining, causing him excruciating pain and aggravating his injuries.

“Your Highness Holy Son, spare me.”

Cai Fei’s eyes were filled with terror, and he immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.

“Scram.”

“…”

Cai Fei was struck by lightning, staring blankly at Zhang Yang.

He had originally intended to add fuel to the fire, blame his failure on Su Qingyue, and incidentally ask Zhang Yang for some healing elixirs.

However, he hadn't expected Zhang Yang to be so violent and heartless.

He knew he had been abandoned by Zhang Yang.

The Sun fire poison left in his body was clearly meant to take his life.

But why would it be like this?

He had only failed to invite someone.

He originally thought that by following Zhang Yang, he would have a bright future and gain more resources.

However, he didn't get any benefits, and instead, he lost his life.

Cai Fei's ambition now turned into utter despair.

"Not leaving?"

"Then die."

Zhang Yang couldn't be bothered to think about what Cai Fei was thinking; he was just an ant, not worth caring about.

He directly struck Cai Fei with a punch, obliterating him into dust.

He killed Cai Fei not because Cai Fei failed to invite the person, but because Cai Fei was truly incredibly foolish.

He knew Zhang Yang wanted to pursue Su Qingyue, yet he didn't bother to inquire about Su Qingyue's personality or preferences.

What good was a subordinate who couldn't share his worries?

"Brother Zhang, I received news that Junior Sister Su went to find Gu Qing again."

At this moment, a young man spoke indifferently, a playful smile on his face.

"Indeed, it's pitiful how Brother Zhang's deep affection, sending all sorts of treasures, and years of caring, couldn't even earn a single glance from Junior Sister Su. How pitiful, truly pitiful..."

"I heard that all the treasures Brother Zhang sent were fed to pigs by Junior Sister Su, hahaha."

The three young men smiled, deliberately poking at Zhang Yang's sore spots, hoping to make him retreat in the face of difficulty.

A dignified Great Sun Holy Son, whose status was comparable to a Venerable Realm elder, had fallen to such a state. Zhang Yang had truly broken the record of all previous Great Sun Holy Sons of the Star God Temple.

Zhang Yang's face turned dark, and terrifying killing intent surged around him.

Today, his reputation was completely ruined.

If these few people weren't almost as strong as him, he would have absolutely ground them to dust.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang sneered.

"Heh, are you all any different?"

Although his reputation was ruined, these dog-like fellows also sent plenty of gifts to Su Qingyue, and weren't they still fed to pigs?

Who didn't know that all of them were Su Qingyue's bootlickers?

They were all in the same boat; the pot shouldn't call the kettle black.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the three couldn't smile anymore. They exchanged glances, their faces turning grim.

"Let's be frank. Junior Sister Su is a peerless beauty, a perfect match for me. You all should just give up."

Zhang Yang looked at the three with deep eyes, his killing intent showing.

"Heh, we know exactly what you're thinking."

"That's right, you're merely eyeing her Lunar Divine Body, wanting to cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record. Coincidentally, I also want to cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record."

The few of them didn't back down at all, meeting Zhang Yang's gaze.

One must know that the strongest cultivation technique in the Star God Temple, besides the Zhou Tian Star Art, was the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record.

Moreover, this cultivation technique was very special, and its cultivation was extremely simple; dual cultivation alone could lead to the Supreme Great Dao.

It could transform one's physique into a Post-Heaven Yin-Yang Chaos Body.

Under such temptation, who would give up?

"Hahahaha..."

Zhang Yang laughed heartily, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, which were as sharp as knives.

"Do you all even qualify to cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record?"

The Taiyin Sun Chaos Record was indeed a supreme dual cultivation manual, but not just anyone could cultivate it.

The female must possess a Lunar Divine Body, and the male should ideally possess a Sun Divine Body.

And his Great Sun Divine Body had already transformed into a Sun Divine Body.

He was determined to have Su Qingyue.

With Su Qingyue's assistance, he would be able to firmly secure the position of Great Sun Holy Son, or even Divine Son.

If these three dog-like fellows dared to disrespect him again, he would simply kill them.

And Jiang Yu, annihilating the Jiang Family was merely a matter of a single word from him.

"That's none of your concern."

The three sneered, then stood up and left.

Zhang Yang's face was ashen. After some thought, he called for a few subordinates.

"Your Highness, the Great Sun Holy Son."

The young men were all in the Void Dao Realm, with terrifying vitality and outstanding talent.

"This slut Su Qingyue already has someone in her heart. Even if you put in more effort, you won't win her affection."

"What method can you suggest for me to obtain her?"

Speaking of Su Qingyue, Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with resentment, wishing he could tear her apart alive.

Zhang Yang just couldn't understand. He was exceptionally talented and a Great Sun Holy Son, a perfect match for Su Qingyue.

What reason did Su Qingyue have to reject him?

And feeding the elixirs he sent to pigs was an utter humiliation.

"Your Highness, I think you could find someone to defeat Gu Qing."

"That's right. The Saintess might have taken a liking to Gu Qing simply because she was attracted by his sincere devotion to the Dao, believing that this child has boundless prospects."

"If he is defeated, then his sincerity will naturally become a joke."

"The only trouble is how to make Gu Qing accept the challenge."

If it were anyone else, they would have simply killed them.

But Gu Qing was Zhi Meng's eldest disciple; they would at most dare to injure him.

Then again, this wasn't the first time they had made such a suggestion.

However, the challenge letters they sent were treated as waste paper by Gu Qing, who continued to immerse himself in cultivation, doing as he pleased.

"Good. You arrange for people. Whether he accepts the challenge or not, you must severely injure him. Be clean about it; don't let anyone trace it back to us. Frame Jin Sheng, Wei Yiqing, and Xue Hua."

These three were the young men who were just competing with him for Su Qingyue. Their strength was considerable; they had all become disciples of Saints and came from immortal noble families and imperial dynasties.

If their people made the move, by then, the three wouldn't be able to clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

"The Great Sun Holy Son is wise. I will arrange for people to handle it immediately, ensuring that even they themselves won't know."

He bowed respectfully, then paused and added, "Your Highness, the Great Sun Holy Son, should we bestow some treasures upon them to ensure absolute certainty?"

Although they didn't know Gu Qing's physique or his specific strength, as Zhi Meng's disciple, Gu Qing's talent was definitely not poor.

"Reasonable."

Zhang Yang smiled with satisfaction, tossing out several terrifyingly powerful consumable magical artifacts.

These were his good subordinates, always able to share his worries. Cai Fei died a worthy death.

Seeing the matter settled, someone couldn't help but ask curiously, "Great Sun Holy Son, do you know what Gu Qing's physique is?"

Gu Qing had been too low-key these past few years.

But as Zhi Meng's disciple, he was inherently in the spotlight, and it was hard for them not to be curious.

However, no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't find any information about Gu Qing.

They only knew that such a person existed in the Star God Temple.

"I don't know."

Zhang Yang shook his head, then said disdainfully.

"He's just a blockhead who only knows how to cultivate in isolation; he's nothing to fear."

Even if his aptitude was outstanding, how much strength could he gain by cultivating in isolation?

Strong cultivators were all forged in blood and fire, validating their Dao and techniques.

"That's right. The Saintess and Chu Yao are still virgins. Ignoring such charming beauties and focusing solely on studying Dao techniques is utterly foolish."

The few of them showed disdain, feeling that Gu Qing was beyond saving.

If it were them, they would have immediately taken Su Qingyue and cultivated the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record together.

With Zhi Meng as a backer, wouldn't the position of Great Sun Holy Son and the Supreme Great Dao be within easy reach?

Unfortunately, Gu Qing ignored the heaven-reaching shortcut and insisted on bitter cultivation and getting stuck in a rut. While they admired him, they also found Gu Qing incredibly foolish.

"This slut Su Qingyue, once I'm tired of her, I'll reward her to you all."

Zhang Yang spoke coldly.

"..."

"Your Highness, what did you just say?"

"I'll give her to you all once I'm tired of her."

It was well known that he was a bootlicker with no bottom line, but who knew that this was merely a last resort, and he wasn't interested in Su Qingyue at all.

He was interested in the Lunar Divine Body.

Su Qingyue had made him lose face. Once he had squeezed out all of Su Qingyue's value, he would absolutely not let her off lightly.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

The few of them were ecstatic.

Su Qingyue was as beautiful as a celestial fairy and of noble status; they had coveted her for a long time.

It was only due to their status and strength that they hadn't acted.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Yang nodded. He was always generous with rewards for subordinates who could get things done.

"What about Chu Yao? How does Your Highness plan to deal with her?"

Chu Yao was a peerless beauty, and also the daughter of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's president.

Zhang Yang might not be interested in Chu Yao, but they certainly were.

"After I deflower her, I'll give her to you all."

Zhang Yang's expression was cold.

She was just a common beauty with only looks.

A graceful figure, like a god or a demon, appeared in Zhang Yang's mind. He clenched his fists: "Post-Heaven Yin-Yang Chaos Body, the position of Divine Son, I am determined to obtain it."
