552: Enlightenment at Yuankong Mountain

“Do you know where Lin Feng is?” Gu Qing asked via sound transmission.

“I do not!”

Xuan Jiu'er’s heart trembled, and she replied honestly.

Xuan Jiu'er wasn't surprised that Gu Qing saw through her Origins and knew about her engagement with Lin Feng.

After all, Gu Qing was a Transcendent, capable of knowing past and present with a single thought. As long as one wasn't a Transcendent or a favored child protected by Heaven and Earth, they held no secrets in the eyes of a Transcendent.

Xuan Jiu'er also wasn't worried that Gu Qing would kill her.

After all, she had already abandoned the dark and embraced the light.

She was also Mo Wantang’s sister, a sister to Gu Qing’s woman.

“If you know his whereabouts, immediately recite my true name.” Gu Qing was a little disappointed.

Lin Feng hadn't appeared yet, and he was probably hiding in some Universe plane, developing stealthily.

And Lin Cangtian, that old fellow, as the great backer of an invincible protagonist, was probably extraordinary as well.

His speed of recovering Cultivation would definitely far surpass those ancient old monsters.

“Yes, Hierarch!” Xuan Jiu'er readily agreed.

She also really wanted to get rid of Lin Feng.

Although her fate was intertwined with Lin Feng’s, they prospered or suffered together.

If Lin Feng died, she would also suffer a backlash from fate.

However, she would rather suffer a backlash from fate than stand with Gu Qing.

Even if she could never become an Immortal Emperor in the future, she would not leave the Boundless Divine Sect. The Boundless Divine Sect had many, many of her little sisters.

“Don't do missions for now; quickly become an Immortal Emperor.”

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then tossed out a Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasure and a bottle of Chaos Origin Liquid to her.

Since Xuan Jiu'er had already surrendered and had the potential to become an Immortal Emperor, she naturally needed to be nurtured well.

“Thank you for the Hierarch’s reward!”

Xuan Jiu'er accepted the long whip and jade bottle that floated over with both hands, her heart filled with wild joy.

Indeed, by following Gu Qing, one could achieve the Dao Fruit of Transcendence.

“Mm!” Gu Qing nodded slightly, then turned to look at Mo Wantang, his mouth twitching slightly.

Mo Wantang was truly a Revered Master of disguises.

Even when meeting someone, she had to change her appearance.

Who knew how many other disguises she had in secret?

Thinking this, Gu Qing smiled and said, “I need to comprehend on Yuan Kong Mountain. Remember to call me when the Secret Realm opens.”

“Okay!”

Mo Wantang responded coolly, her face expressionless, as if the person who had been intimate with Gu Qing on Yuan Kong Mountain just now wasn't her.

The Fortune Green Lotus entered Yuan Kong Mountain and appeared on the mountaintop. A vast and boundless aura rushed forth.

Gu Qing looked out, and countless Universes, like specks of dust, came into view. A transcendent Concept arose in his heart, as if he were a supreme existence standing at the peak of the Universe.

“Adoptive Father, the great gods from the beginning of creation, their Cultivation is too terrifying, isn’t it?” Gu Qing exclaimed.

To open up three thousand Great Thousand Universes, capable of bearing and nurturing Immortal Emperors, along with countless Middle Thousand Universes and Small Thousand Universes.

How terrifying must such methods be?

Not to mention binding these Universes, connecting their Laws, yet creating a unique path that allowed all Universe planes to exist independently.

Creatures living within them, even if they left their Universe, would appear in the Eternal Universe, not on Yuan Kong Mountain.

Yuan Kong Mountain seemed to be the Origin of all worlds, suppressing countless Universes, forming a supreme Dao Field.

To be able to refine such a Heaven-Defying Dao Field, Yuan Ling Saint Mother’s Realm was far more powerful than he imagined.

At least, he couldn't refine a Dao Field like Yuan Kong Mountain currently.

He probably couldn't even refine it after Breakthrough to the seventh Realm of God Emperor.

“It’s alright!” You Meng glanced at it, unconcerned.

“What Realm is her Immortal Emperor in?” Gu Qing asked curiously.

“The Nine Heavens.”

“What about Star Saint Mother?”

“Also the Nine Heavens.”

“Is the Nine Realms already this powerful? Then how Heaven-Defying would the Twelve Realms be? And what kind of existence is a Chaos Dominator...”

Gu Qing originally thought Star Saint Mother was a Twelve Realm Immortal Emperor.

After all, Star Saint Mother’s Dao Law covered the entire Eternal Universe, and she had even attempted to refine the Eternal Universe.

“I can only say that Immortal Emperors above the Nine Realms control power beyond your imagination.”

“Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to comprehend it. You'll know naturally when you reach that Realm.” You Meng thought for a moment and said so.

“Oh!”

Gu Qing said “Oh,” and didn't ask any more questions. He adjusted his mindset and began to comprehend the vastness of the Universe.

Comprehending the Concept of Yuan Kong Mountain suppressing all Daos... “Phew!”

The moment Gu Qing left, Ye Tian breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was truly scared to death.

Fortunately, Gu Qing was arrogant and didn't check the Slaughter Sword on his back.

This was a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, unparalleled in its killing power, capable of slaying Immortal Emperors, a supreme Magic Treasure.

Many Innate Divine Spirits, existences at the sixth Realm of God Emperor, didn't even have a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure accompanying them.

Having a Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasure was already considered a profound blessing.

This showed how precious a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure was.

If Gu Qing saw it, he would definitely try to snatch it by any means necessary.

And with the help of a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, he would surely rise powerfully and achieve Transcendence.

The humiliation of kneeling today, he would definitely get it back in the future.

As he thought this, the moment Ye Tian looked up, he saw the Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasure in Xuan Jiu'er’s hand, and his pupils gradually widened.

“Sword… Sword Old, is that a Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasure?” Ye Tian’s voice trembled.

“That’s right!”

“Didn’t Sword Old say that Innate Spirit Treasures are limited in number, and many Immortal Emperors only have Low Grade or Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasures?”

Ye Tian couldn't imagine how wealthy Gu Qing was to give away a Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

If he became a Disciple of the Boundless Divine Sect, would Gu Qing also give him a Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasure?

Or even a High Grade, or even a Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasure?

“...I don't know either!” Sword Old was silent for a moment before replying.

“Then is the lotus platform under his butt a Chaos Treasure?”

“It is!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian was so jealous his cells were splitting, and a crazy thought popped into his mind.

If he became Gu Qing’s Personal Disciple, would Gu Qing pass on the Fortune Green Lotus to him, teach him everything, and let him inherit the Boundless Dao Legacy?

If he could obtain the Fortune Green Lotus, why worry about not becoming the strongest Immortal Emperor in the Eternal Universe?

As soon as this thought emerged, it almost filled Ye Tian's mind.

The Tai Chu Sword Emperor in front of him suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore... “Dead cat, still looking?”

Mo Wantang’s eyes held a smile, and she held a long sword, its tassel brushing against Xuan Jiu'er’s incomparably charming face.

“Go away!”

Xuan Jiu'er snapped back from her immense surprise, swatting away Mo Wantang’s sword tassel, putting away the long whip and jade bottle, and directly entering Yuan Kong Mountain.

“Dead Wantang, your Yuan Kong Mountain is mine now! I want to achieve Transcendence here.”

She had already reached the peak of Immortal King.

The reason she had been unable to comprehend the mysteries of the Immortal Emperor Domain was a lack of a catalyst, an Epiphany, a great fortune.

Without these, she would never be able to comprehend the Immortal Emperor Domain in her lifetime.

Now, the catalyst was there, and the fortune was there too.

Only the Epiphany was missing.

And Yuan Kong Mountain was a supreme treasure ground for Epiphany.

“...”

Everyone finally understood why Xuan Jiu'er, an Immortal King, dared to call Tai Chu Sword Emperor a “slut.”

Turns out they were sworn sisters.

The Elf Clan breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Mu Xiangyi’s words just now had almost scared them all to death... “Everyone, go back! No gathering at my Dao Field from now on.”

Mo Wantang held Mu Xiangyi, her cold eyes sweeping across the crowd, her voice indifferent.

Mo Wantang’s heart was unperturbed by such a situation.

She recalled that when she first became an Immortal King, countless Prodigies wanted to become her Disciples. After her battle with Wu Xiang Heavenly Demon, also known as Wang Yue, even more people wanted to become her Disciples, and couldn't be driven away.

One batch would be driven away, and before long, another batch would arrive.

The world was not short of self-important Prodigies who thought they were unparalleled after defeating their peers, firmly believing they were unique.

In the end, these self-important Prodigies would all fade into obscurity, buried in the river of time.

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this, the powerhouses from all races, though mentally prepared, were still filled with disappointment.

They knew the chance of becoming Mo Wantang’s Disciple was slim, but they still didn't want to miss the opportunity to soar to greatness.

“This...”

“Senior Brother, what should we do?”

The Cultivators on the Star Flying Ship were dumbfounded.

They had spent a great price to ride the Star Flying Ship, but they were driven away as soon as they arrived.

Wouldn't that mean they came for nothing?

One should know that the payment for riding the Star Flying Ship was not Immortal Source, but Divine Objects, Immortal Gold, or Dao Fruits.

The cost was not ordinary.

“Get down!”

Chen Miaomiao scolded.

She didn't care what these people thought; it was time to get off the Flying Ship.

After completing this mission, they could return to the Divine Sect and live leisurely for hundreds of years without having to do missions.

“...”

Everyone’s faces twitched, and they felt so stifled they wanted to vomit blood, but they still obediently got off the Star Flying Ship.

“Little Ye, why are you still standing there? Hurry and try to become her Disciple.”

Sword Old suddenly said anxiously.

Although he couldn't deduce Mo Wantang’s fate, he had a feeling that Ye Tian and Mo Wantang had a Revered Master-Disciple 緣.

If he didn't seize this opportunity to become her Disciple, he wouldn't have another chance.

“I...” Ye Tian hesitated.

Before meeting Gu Qing, he indeed wanted to become Mo Wantang’s Disciple, but after seeing Gu Qing and knowing that Gu Qing possessed Chaos Treasures, he became somewhat reluctant.

After all, even a fool would know that Gu Qing was destined to become the supreme existence in the Eternal Universe.

Mo Wantang, however, was merely a powerful Immortal Emperor, incomparable to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing could directly bestow High Grade Innate Spirit Treasures upon his Sect members; if he were to become Gu Qing’s Personal Disciple, he would surely receive Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, Innate Supreme Treasures, or even Chaos Treasures.

Ye Tian had three Revered Masters, and without exception, they all eventually passed their most important treasures to him.

He believed Gu Qing would be no exception.

Because he was a true Prodigy, not comparable to those so-called Prodigies accumulated by large Families with resources.

Those so-called Prodigies were merely flowers in a greenhouse.

He didn't know how many he had slain.

“What are you hesitating for? Hurry, she’s leaving!” Sword Elder saw Mo Wantang board the flying boat and immediately grew anxious.

He truly couldn't understand why Ye Tian, who had previously wanted to become a Disciple, suddenly became unwilling.

“Whoosh!”

Before Ye Tian could make up his mind, the Starry Flying Boat dashed off, entering the spatial-temporal tunnel.

The moment the Starry Flying Boat disappeared, Ye Tian suddenly felt a sense of loss, a dull ache in his chest, as if he had lost something important.

“Sigh!” Sword Elder sighed, scolding him for his lack of ambition, “Little Ye, why did you shrink back at the critical moment? Haven't you always been brave and fearless?”

“Sword Elder, I…” Ye Tian paused, then spoke his thoughts, “I think becoming the Disciple of Grand Beginning Sword Emperor is not as good as becoming the Disciple of Boundless God Emperor.”

“???”

Sword Elder was shocked by Ye Tian’s words.

After a long silence, he said, “Then why did you just say you wouldn't become a Disciple?”

Although Ye Tian’s words seemed absurd, Ye Tian was a person of great Luck, and perhaps he could truly succeed.

“Hehe, I just forgot for a moment.” Ye Tian rubbed his nose, chuckling.

He dared not say that he was initially scared by Sword Elder’s words.

Even less dared he say that once he achieved success in Cultivation, he would seek out Gu Qing to settle the score.

Knowing that Gu Qing possessed Chaos Treasures and casually bestowed Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, that bit of humiliation in his heart was nothing.

Finding a way to cling to a powerful figure was the real priority.

As long as he could become Gu Qing’s Personal Disciple, he would never lack Cultivation resources or treasures again; he would ascend to the heavens in one step and could do as he pleased in the Eternal Universe.

“Alas, what a pity. Having missed this opportunity, who knows when I will be able to see Boundless God Emperor again.”

“It’s alright, Sword Elder, I believe that sincerity can move mountains. I will definitely meet Boundless God Emperor again,” Ye Tian said confidently… On the Starry Flying Boat, Mo Wantang held Mu Xiangyi, who was only three or four years old, her eyes flowing with divine light, and she immediately saw through Mu Xiangyi’s background.

“You two have indeed given birth to a good daughter,” Mo Wantang exclaimed.

Mu Xiangyi had actually undergone a Bloodline regression, her Bloodline containing the Law of Primordial Life and the Law of Wood.

And there were faint signs of it mutating towards the Origin Law of Life.

Mo Wantang, with her vast knowledge, having even searched the Divine Souls of ancient Immortal Emperor old monsters, was hearing for the first time that Laws could also mutate.

This was truly too miraculous.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would believe it if she spoke of it.

“Senior Grand Beginning, you flatter us!”

Mu Sui and Mu Yuan were flattered and overjoyed upon hearing this.

They only knew that Mu Xiangyi’s Bloodline had regressed, but they didn't know that Mu Xiangyi’s Bloodline was about to mutate.

In their eyes, Grand Beginning Sword Emperor was destined to become the strongest in the Universe, with boundless Divine Might.

Even if their ancestors were resurrected, in the eyes of Grand Beginning Sword Emperor, they would merely be ordinary Immortal Emperors, let alone just a Bloodline regression.

“Xiangyi possesses great Luck and a supreme Dao Body, which is quite suitable for Cultivating the Great Dao of the Nine-Life Profound Cat.”

Mo Wantang did not explain further, she lovingly stroked Mu Xiangyi’s small head, speaking to herself.

“That dead cat accepted the Bloodline Legacy of the ancestor, but her talent is limited, and her abilities are mediocre; she is not qualified to teach Xiangyi.”

These words made the couple’s scalps tingle, and they dared not respond, their hearts churning with turbulent waves.

The Nine-Life Profound Cat, this was an Innate Divine Saint born from heaven and earth at the beginning of creation.

Although not as powerful as Star Mother or Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, she was not comparable to those later Immortal Emperors and God Emperors.

For Mu Xiangyi to be fortunate enough to become a Disciple of Xuan Jiuer was a joyous event for their entire Elf Race.

However, from Mo Wantang’s tone, it seemed she wanted to snatch a Disciple?

The two were sworn siblings, and they dared not express their stance recklessly.

“However, since she has already become a Disciple, this Venerable One should not take what others love.”

At this point, Mo Wantang’s tone suddenly shifted, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and she gently pinched Mu Xiangyi’s cheek.

“Xiangyi, would you like to recognize me as your godmother?”

“What is a godmother?” Mu Xiangyi asked, blinking her clear, black-and-white eyes, puzzled.

Although she had been born for tens of thousands of years, she was still a little baby, with a pure and innocent Heart-Nature.

From birth until now, she had either been sleeping or Cultivating, communing with nature.

“Xiangyi, quickly agree to Senior Grand Beginning.” Mu Sui and Mu Yuan’s hearts were in their throats, trembling with excitement.

Recognizing Mo Wantang as a godmother was almost like having a Revered Master.

They could almost imagine that Mu Xiangyi had already ascended to the heavens in one step, directly reaching the Great Dao.

“Okay, Xiangyi is willing!” Mu Xiangyi was a quiet and well-behaved little cub, and hearing her parents’ words, she responded dazedly.

“Smooch!”

“Xiangyi is so well-behaved!”

Mo Wantang excitedly gave Mu Xiangyi’s fair, pink cheek a fierce kiss.

She finally had a daughter too, and she didn't even have to give birth to her herself.

And she was her favorite well-behaved cub.

“Xiangyi, from now on, you should call me mommy,” Mo Wantang said softly.

“Mommy!” Mu Xiangyi called out in a sweet, childish voice.

“Good, good, good!”

Mo Wantang immediately took out a bottle of Chaos Primordial Liquid and put it in her hand: “From now on, Xiangyi will drink this.”

“What is this!” Mu Xiangyi curiously opened it, and a surge of Chaos Dao Charm burst forth.

“Sip!” Mu Xiangyi took a sip, and her Bloodline instantly surged, greedily absorbing the Chaos Primordial Liquid.

Mu Xiangyi’s Bloodline, Physical Body, Realm, and Divine Soul were all rapidly ascending.

The little girl was still young, only in the Divine Fire Realm; after taking a sip of the Dao Charm, she fell into a deep sleep.

“So cute.”

The sleeping Mu Xiangyi was very docile and soft, with chubby little cheeks and eyelashes like tiny brushes.

Mo Wantang doted on her immensely, imprinting the Dao Guiding Breathing Technique into Mu Xiangyi’s mind, guiding her breathing.

Only after Mu Xiangyi had entered the Dao did she hand her over to Mu Sui, instructing, “Take her into the Profound Yellow Inner World to sleep, and feed her some Chaos Primordial Liquid from time to time.”

“Oh, okay!”

Mu Sui recovered from her immense shock, carefully taking her daughter.

“Three drops of Chaos Primordial Liquid for each person.”

Mo Wantang then tossed Chen Miaomiao a jade bottle containing tens of thousands of drops of Chaos Primordial Liquid.

Although Chaos Primordial Liquid was precious, it wasn't *that* precious.

The Chaos Primordial Qi in the Boundless Space was inexhaustible; they could refine as much as they wanted.

However, anything that becomes abundant loses its value.

To prevent Disciples from not cherishing it and to encourage them to Cultivate diligently and complete tasks, Chaos Primordial Liquid had to be exchanged for high points and merits, allowing the Sect to operate perfectly.

They would occasionally take out some Chaos Primordial Liquid to reward Disciples.

“Thank you, Elder Grand Beginning!”

The women were overjoyed.

With three drops of Chaos Primordial Liquid, a Breakthrough to Immortal King was just around the corner.

“Mm!” Mo Wantang hummed, and seeing that they had arrived at the Boundless Divine Sect, she brought the couple into the Boundless Realm, the Profound Yellow Inner World.

She placed Mu Xiangyi in a large formation for nourishment, gave some instructions, and then returned to Yuan Kong Mountain.

“Husband, are we not dreaming?”

Mu Sui held the jade bottle, looked at the Chaos Primordial Liquid inside, then at her sweetly sleeping daughter, and stammered.

“Probably not…”

Mu Yuan meticulously circulated her Cultivation Technique to verify, replying with a trembling voice.

“It's not a dream… From now on, our Elf Race will no longer have to live in fear.” Mu Sui wept tears of joy… Mo Wantang returned to Yuan Kong Mountain and saw that the crowd had dispersed, leaving only Ye Tian. Her eyes instantly turned cold.

She had an impression of Ye Tian; after all, he stood out so much that it was hard not to notice him.

She had initially thought Ye Tian was a Cultivator of astonishing courage, but it turned out he wasn't.

Ye Tian merely looked down on her.

He immediately knelt when he saw Gu Qing.

Mo Wantang was too lazy to bother with an ant.

But now, she had ordered everyone to disperse, and Ye Tian still wouldn't leave. How much did he look down on her?

With this thought, Mo Wantang’s mind stirred, and a murderous intent arose; a supreme Divine Power descended, intending to obliterate Ye Tian.
