443: Liu Ruyan returns, and the rules of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are revived

“Host, your Profound Fire Treasure Mirror hasn’t been refined yet,” the System reminded him.

“No need!”

Gu Qing had already placed the Nine Yang Dharma Idol and the Chaos Divine Flame into the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror, letting it devour and advance on its own.

Although doing so would make the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror advance slowly, it wouldn't take many years.

Since he wasn't in a hurry to use it immediately, Gu Qing couldn't be bothered to spend more effort.

He estimated that the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror would be fully advanced after he left for a few days… “You’re out of seclusion so soon?”

Seeing Gu Qing, Zhi Meng looked surprised.

Gu Qing had only been in seclusion for ten days this time.

Although the Boundless Space had a time flow rate of one thousand to one,

what could ten thousand days do for a Divine King?

It was but a snap of the fingers.

“Mm!” Gu Qing hummed, pulling both Zhi Meng and her daughter into his arms.

“Bad… Good daddy.”

Xian’er’s eyes lit up when she saw the Flat Peaches, happily hugging them and squeezing down from between the two of them.

She found a spot for herself, happily gnawing on them, her big eyes narrowing in delight as she ate.

With Xian’er gone, Zhi Meng unnaturally pushed her rebellious disciple away and asked casually, “Now that you’re out of seclusion, you can spend some quality time with Xian’er, right?”

“Mm!” Gu Qing was no longer afraid of Zhi Meng. Seeing her calm expression and inherent majesty, Gu Qing wanted to get even closer to her.

A month passed quickly.

Ji Zhuoya glanced at Gu Qing, who was playing with Xian’er, pulled Zhi Meng’s arm, and whispered, “What exactly is going on between you two?”

For the past month, the three of them had been like a family of three, with laughter never ceasing. They ate and drank together, only short of living together.

But Zhi Meng stubbornly refused to admit it, which left Ji Zhuoya confused.

“He’s Xian’er’s father.” Zhi Meng’s smile instantly vanished, and her ice-blue eyes suddenly darkened.

“Do you have any news of Jiang Yu?”

As long as Jiang Yu wasn’t caught, Zhi Meng wouldn’t be at peace.

“No, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you.” Ji Zhuoya was speechless. The two were truly mortal enemies; even a major event like marriage could be tied to Jiang Yu.

She chided, “You’re just being stubborn.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “We cultivators pursue the Dao of Freedom, following our hearts. You must not be bound by worldly rules.”

She felt that Zhi Meng definitely liked her disciple.

After all, Zhi Meng was ruthless and cold-hearted. If she didn’t like Gu Qing, she wouldn’t have given him a chance to get close.

It was only because of their master-disciple relationship that Zhi Meng couldn’t bring herself to let go of her pride.

But in her opinion, this was no big deal at all, and people wouldn’t consider it immoral.

There were countless examples of masters and disciples becoming Dao Companions.

“You should go back!” Zhi Meng shook her head, not wanting to say more.

She wasn't concerned about worldly morals at all. If she had morals, she wouldn't have killed Lin Xuan, or destroyed the Zhuang and Lin families.

But, she was determined to be beautiful and powerful on her own. If Jiang Yu knew that she had become Dao Companions with Gu Qing, Jiang Yu would surely mock her madly, right?

Damn Jiang Yu, she didn't know where she was hiding. Zhi Meng hoped she wouldn't catch her.

“Alright! I just hope you don’t regret it later.” Ji Zhuoya helplessly shook her head and left the Boundless Heavenly Palace in frustration.

“Giggle!”

Xian’er was riding on Gu Qing’s neck, her hair tied in a bun, laughing like a New Year’s painting good-luck baby.

“Dinner is ready!”

Gu Qing called out to Zhi Meng.

“Have you arranged everything for the sect?” Zhi Meng asked with a frown.

Gu Qing hadn’t dealt with sect affairs today.

“The sect rules have been established, and I won’t need to manage the sect’s minor affairs anymore.”

Over the past month, Gu Qing had been delegating authority and rewarding the Profound God Elders.

He had distributed three thousand Flat Peaches to the elders and outstanding prodigy disciples.

The fruit pits had already taken root and sprouted in the Boundless Space.

The sect rules and reward mechanisms had all been decided.

It could be said that the Boundless Divine Sect had already entered the right track and no longer needed his worry.

Even if he disappeared for several millennia, it wouldn't affect the development of the Boundless Divine Sect.

The Immortal Ladies also made things very easy for him; each one was pure and untainted, not going out to stir up trouble. Their eyes were only on the Great Dao and the sect.

They voluntarily took on tasks and performed their respective duties.

After completing their tasks, they would enter the Boundless World to cultivate.

The entire Boundless Divine Sect was caught in a frenzy of cultivation.

After eating and drinking their fill, Zhi Meng coaxed Xian’er to take a nap and said, “Ji Ning is back. You should see her.”

With that, she carried Xian’er back to her room.

Ji Ning was like a ghost, concealing all her aura, her face obscured by a hazy profound light, quietly following behind Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruyi.

“Gu Qing!”

Liu Ruyan looked excited, running up to Gu Qing and scrutinizing him from head to toe.

“Are you a Divine King? And you were chasing a group of Immortal Kings, chopping them down?”

She had just emerged from an Ancient Secret Realm and had inquired about the sect’s changes and Gu Qing’s news from Ji Ning.

She then heard about Gu Qing’s heaven-defying achievements, and her heart was filled with indescribable shock.

There was also a sense of absurdity, like “my poor brother suddenly became the richest man in the world overnight.”

“Dong!” Gu Qing unhappily tapped her forehead, “Get out of the way.”

“No, tell me quickly, are you really a Divine King? Did you really chase Immortal Kings and chop them down?” Liu Ruyan was extremely excited, grabbing his arm and not letting go.

“See for yourself!”

The Star Heaven Treasure Mirror recorded the scene at that time.

Gu Qing was too lazy to explain, so he directly handed her the Star Heaven Treasure Mirror to watch.

Ji Ning, who was like a ghost, couldn’t help but crane her neck to watch as well.

After watching the footage, the three of them were silent for a long time.

Liu Ruyan was filled with frustration: “I thought my talent was unrivaled in the world, and that one day I would catch up to you, but I never expected…”

She truly thought she was very powerful.

She had obtained countless heaven-defying inheritances, and even two Innate Spirit Treasures.

She thought that surpassing Gu Qing was only a matter of time.

But now it seemed that she and Gu Qing were not in the same world at all.

At least, no matter how much she cultivated, after breaking through to Immortal King, it would be impossible for her to chase a group of Immortal Kings and chop them down.

Among those who could cultivate to Immortal King, where were there any weaklings?

But Gu Qing had done it; a single divine ability could cover hundreds of Immortal Kings.

“Stinky little sister, what do you want to catch up to me for?” Gu Qing pulled her cheeks with both hands, feeling that she had malicious intentions.

“Stop messing around, I’m feeling sad right now!” Liu Ruyan said weakly.

“Are you sad because you can’t suppress me?”

“…” Liu Ruyan was shocked. She had indeed always thought that, but she didn’t expect Gu Qing to see through her.

Liu Ruyi’s face showed a beautiful and ethereal faint smile, and she subtly pulled her sister away.

She stood in front, giving off a sense of “come at me if you have a problem, don’t bully my sister.”

Gu Qing withdrew his hand, feeling bored.

Liu Ruyi was beautiful, but she was a super crazy sister-con, and he had nothing good to say to her.

“Gu Qing, something bad has happened!”

At this moment, Chu Yao and Bai Suying rushed over.

They were accompanied by a woman named Shu Yue, who had Xuan Shen Peak cultivation and specialized in the Dao of Image Divination.

She held an extraordinary position in the Taiyin Dao Sect, and now, having joined the Boundless Divine Sect, she also held an extraordinary position, presiding over the Star Divination Temple, specifically to divine good and bad fortune for the sect, disciples, and elders.

Or to divine information about the great enemies of the Boundless Divine Sect.

Any powerful enemies of the Boundless Divine Sect who tried to hide and seek revenge would be found out by her one by one.

“What’s wrong? Did Qingyue have an accident during her training?” Gu Qing asked in a deep voice.

“No.” Su Qingyue was challenging the Lin family’s Profound God Elder under a hidden identity.

With her Chaos Foundation and Xuan Shen Peak cultivation, the Xuan Shen of this world were no match for her at all.

“Sect Master!”

Shu Yue said with a serious expression, “The rules of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm have revived.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Qingyue was fine, that was all that mattered.

“It is indeed a good thing, but… the problem is that the heavenly and earthly laws modified by that supreme mighty figure in the Ancient Era have dissipated with the revival of the heaven and earth rules.”

Shu Yue’s expression was solemn.

That supreme mighty figure had modified the heavenly and earthly laws precisely to suppress the Heavenly Ghost Clan of the Ancient Era, using the power of heaven and earth to obliterate them.

The Heavenly Ghost Clan could only hide in secret realms and grotto-heavens that isolated heavenly secrets, barely surviving.

As time passed, the innate divine abilities of the Heavenly Ghost Clan had degenerated, and they were no longer a threat.

However, there were still Heavenly Ghost Clan members from the Ancient Era who had been sealed, and they were of the Immortal King level.

Their Star Dao Sect had sealed two of them back then.

There were countless Heavenly Ghost Clan members of the Profound God level.

Once they emerged, it would surely be a disaster for the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
