609: Little Luoli creates a legend

“If you try to scheme against others and end up being schemed against yourself, it only proves your incompetence.”

“If you’re not as skilled as others, what right do you have to complain?”

The Supreme Emperor of the Celestial Venerable Dynasty looked indifferent, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Everyone turned to look at Old Taoist Qingwei, then quickly averted their gazes.

Though no contempt was openly shown, the silence at that moment spoke volumes.

Old Taoist Qingwei felt his face burning.

He had lived for countless years, yet he had never felt such shame and anger, wishing to kill.

Gu Qing had utterly ruined his lifelong reputation.

“Hand over the innate treasure.”

“And swear eternal allegiance to my Celestial Venerable Dynasty,” the Supreme Emperor said coldly.

“Hoo!”

Old Taoist Qingwei took a deep breath and said indifferently, “Whether you believe it or not, this old Taoist does not possess an innate treasure. As for pledging allegiance to you, that is even more impossible.”

“This old Taoist was born free and shall die free.”

He truly did not have an innate treasure.

After all, innate treasures were not common goods; many powerful beings in the Heavenly Dao Realm did not possess them.

However, Old Taoist Qingwei also knew that even if he said he didn't have one, these people wouldn't believe him.

For the sake of an innate treasure, these people would rather kill the wrong person than let one go.

“This old Taoist believes he has made considerable achievements in the Great Dao of deduction. If you all do not wish to be schemed against by that woman, this old Taoist is willing to spare no effort to find her traces.”

Old Taoist Qingwei’s eyes gleamed with hatred as he bowed to him, “The grudge of my disciple’s death is irreconcilable. I implore you all to give this old Taoist a chance for revenge.”

“Very well, you may go.”

“Within one year, I expect to see results.”

The Supreme Emperor of the Celestial Venerable Dynasty agreed almost without hesitation.

As for whether he truly agreed, or if he intended to wait for Old Taoist Qingwei’s true body to appear, or perhaps wanted to capture both Old Taoist Qingwei and Gu Qing in one fell swoop, only he knew.

“Farewell!”

Old Taoist Qingwei also understood his predicament, but he had no other choice.

The grudge of his disciple’s death, he had to avenge.

“Go!”

Seeing the people from the three super orthodoxies leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They led their juniors and hastily fled the area.

This time, they were lucky not to be caught in the battle or incur the wrath of the three super orthodoxies.

Next time, they might not be so fortunate.

Since ancient times, countless people had perished from watching the excitement.

Everyone secretly vowed in their hearts never to watch such spectacles again.

Almost instantly, everyone fled the area, leaving only a lone boat suspended in mid-air.

On the flying boat’s observation deck, dozens of Divine Emperors, clad in armor, stood with cold expressions, guarding a pair of man and woman.

“Junior Sister, this woman’s origins are extraordinary. Do we need to ask Elder Qian Yuan to deduce her whereabouts?”

The white-robed young man, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Divine Maiden, suddenly broke the silence in the pavilion, speaking with a smile on his lips.

“Thank you, Senior Brother,” Luo Li said indifferently.

The young man’s smile froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Then Junior Sister, let’s return together.”

His refusal was almost too obvious.

After all, Elder Qian Yuan was an Elder of the Eleventh Realm, and he wasn't important enough to command him.

Inviting Elder Qian Yuan to act would cost at least one Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

If Luo Li was willing to return with him and become his Dao companion, he would pay any price.

After all, he truly liked Luo Li and longed for a companion on his lonely Dao path.

“Since Senior Brother is unwilling to help, then so be it. Senior Brother, please return,” Luo Li said coldly, her face expressionless.

Xu Ying now wished he could turn back time and retract that last sentence.

He gained a deeper understanding of Luo Li.

Some things truly couldn't be said directly to Luo Li.

“Junior Sister…” Xu Ying’s expression was sorrowful, and he felt a dull ache in his heart.

His admiration for Luo Li was well-known, and over the years, he had given her countless treasures.

Yet, Luo Li seemed to have no heart. She only spoke to him when she needed something.

If there was no benefit, Luo Li wouldn't even glance at him, as if she were a Divine Maiden residing high in the Ninth Heaven, coldly looking down on him.

She watched him suffer in his unrequited love, struggling endlessly.

“Senior Brother, since ancient times, those who are infatuated often meet unfortunate ends. My ambition lies in the Great Dao. I have no intention of forming a Dao companion now, nor will I in the future.”

“If you are unwilling to help me, then please return.” A hint of a smile appeared on Luo Li’s exquisite divine face, blooming like an immortal flower, breathtakingly beautiful.

She wore a magnificent immortal dress, her demeanor noble and extraordinary, like a Divine Maiden’s Looking back and smiling, captivating all beings.

Xu Ying gazed at Luo Li’s exquisite smile with infatuation, but his heart felt cold.

He knew that Luo Li’s smile wasn’t meant to seduce him with her beauty.

Instead, it was the gaze of a hunter watching her prey.

This was the joyful smile of seeing her prey.

Yet, he was willing to suffer, uncontrollably walking step by step into Luo Li’s trap.

He hoped the hunter would fall in love with the prey, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he was willing to take the gamble.

“Alright, I’ll help you, Junior Sister.” After a moment of eye contact with Luo Li, Xu Ying conceded, disheartened.

He thought, somewhat weakly, that it was good enough to simply stay by Luo Li’s side. Though they couldn’t engage in Dao companion matters, they were still companions.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Luo Li’s smile vanished, and she said, “This person is very important to me. Please, Senior Brother, be sure to invite Elder Qian Yuan, as soon as possible.”

“Alright!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying left the flying boat with a crestfallen expression, casting a Formless Escape Technique, and rushed back to Lingxu Sect at the fastest speed.

It’s done… The guards in the pavilion looked at Luo Li with reverence, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

With just a smile, she had obtained a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure for free. In their eyes, Luo Li was almost like a god.

Sacred and inviolable, astonishingly talented, and unparalleled in wisdom.

Whatever Luo Li wanted to do, she never failed. She never relied on her beauty.

Indeed, Luo Li was flawless, but what attracted people most was her charisma, making them willingly submit at her feet.

Luo Li was a Divine Maiden who possessed both talent and beauty.

From the Divine Fire Realm to a Seventh Realm powerful being in just tens of thousands of years—this was as illusory as a dream.

After all, a mere tens of thousands of years was just a short cultivation retreat for them.

Many people would emerge from a retreat to find Luo Li, who was once an ant, had become an existence they looked up to.

Luo Li had become a myth in the Lingxu Sect.

They firmly believed that Luo Li would create more myths, astonishing the Origin Continent and becoming an eternal, indelible legend.

And they would be the witnesses to this immortal myth.

With this thought, as they looked at Luo Li’s figure, their blood surged, almost overflowing from their bodies.

Luo Li’s eyes pierced through space and time, looking at the mountain range within the Innate Great Array, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and she murmured, “So similar, too similar, but I can’t see her true face…”

Ru Yu Divine Maiden’s figure, and that enchanting voice, were too much like her Senior Brother Gu Qing.

Luo Li almost thought this was her Senior Brother Gu Qing and wanted to rush out of the flying boat to recognize him.

However, she was rational.

She knew deep down that this simply couldn't be her Senior Brother Gu Qing.

Gu Qing’s aura was not like this.

“Anyone who dares to offend my Senior Brother, I will kill you.”

Luo Li’s eyes were cold and indifferent.

She came to Mount Wuliang this time only to enter the Limitless Secret Realm for experience. Passing through this place, she encountered a deity being born, and Luo Li naturally wouldn’t let it go.

She planned to refine Ru Yu Divine Maiden and seize all her fortune.

She didn't expect Ru Yu to be exactly like Gu Qing.

Seeing Ru Yu Divine Maiden was like seeing Gu Qing.

However, Ru Yu was not Gu Qing.

In her heart, what was, was, and what was not, was not. Gu Qing was the irreplaceable one.

Anything similar to Gu Qing was a blasphemy against Gu Qing.

She would never allow anyone to blaspheme Gu Qing in her heart.

Originally, she had thought of letting Old Taoist Qingwei severely injure Ru Yu Divine Maiden, and then she would step in to take the spoils.

Who knew Ru Yu Divine Maiden possessed such an extraordinary escape technique that even the Ninth Realm Old Taoist Qingwei was helpless.

However, if Old Taoist Qingwei couldn't do it, it didn't mean she couldn't.

She had the Nirvana Mirror, an Innate Treasure, which could annihilate all Daos and break all divine abilities.

Knowing the Formless Escape Technique, Luo Li would not give Ru Yu Divine Maiden a chance to escape.

“Your Highness Divine Maiden, the Limitless Secret Realm has opened.”

The guards heard Luo Li’s murmur and saw her lost in thought, her eyes filled with longing.

Everyone was filled with confusion.

Ru Yu Divine Maiden’s form was similar to Luo Li’s old acquaintance.

But they had never heard of Luo Li having a male friend.

And Ru Yu Divine Maiden had just been born, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

It was possible.

In the vast Origin Continent, with countless beings, occasional similarities were normal.

It was just a pity.

Ru Yu Divine Maiden, targeted by Luo Li, would ultimately not escape her fate.

How terrifying Luo Li was, her followers knew all too well.

Thinking this, one of them knelt on one knee, looking at Luo Li with reverence and saying.

“Hmm!” Luo Li retracted her gaze.

“Let’s go. She will definitely go to the Limitless Secret Realm.”

“After entering the Limitless Secret Realm, you will split up to gather information about her. As soon as you have news, report it to me immediately.”

“…”

Since she knew Ru Yu Divine Maiden would go to the secret realm, why did she still ask Xu Ying to invite Elder Qian Yuan?

One must know that inviting Elder Qian Yuan to act, a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure was merely a courtesy; one also needed to build a significant personal favor.

After all, Elder Qian Yuan was a Heavenly Dao Realm expert of the Eleventh Heaven, transcending all Daos, where his Dao was the Heavenly Dao.

A mere Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure was practically useless to Elder Qian Yuan.

Though they thought this, none of the followers dared to question Luo Li.

The last person who dared to question Luo Li had already had their physical body shattered and their soul burned within a special magical artifact, the Soul Refining Pearl… On the other side, a flying boat rapidly traversed space and time.

Luo Li guessed correctly; Gu Qing indeed intended to go to the Limitless Secret Realm.

The Limitless Secret Realm was the most core secret realm of Mount Wuliang, coexisting with Mount Wuliang.

Since he had come all this way, Gu Qing naturally wanted to go in and see.

“Mount Wuliang truly lives up to its name. It’s so vast and boundless.”

Gu Qing stood on the Wuji Tower, gazing at Mount Wuliang, his expression filled with shock.

He didn't even know how to describe the immense vastness of Mount Wuliang.

A single mountain peak was immeasurably huge, surrounded by countless star rivers, and stars appeared as tiny as dust motes before Mount Wuliang.

Yet, this was just the most ordinary, commonplace peak on Mount Wuliang.

Gu Qing only managed to glimpse a phantom image of Mount Wuliang using his contemplation technique, and the immense Dao charm almost dispersed his divine soul.

“Do you still want to refine Mount Wuliang now?” Youmeng teased.

“…” Always bringing up inconvenient topics.

Gu Qing: “Godfather, can a Master God refine it?”

“No!”

“What about an Ancestral God?”

“Yes!”

“However, by the time you break through to the Ancestral God level, you probably won’t care for Mount Wuliang anymore.”

“Furthermore, Mount Wuliang is the Origin Divine Mountain of the Origin Continent. Refining it would incur the backlash of the entire Origin Continent’s Dao Will.”

“For a Chaos Ancestral God, though it wouldn’t cause the slightest harm, they would be shunned by the Dao Will, making it not worth the gain.”

“Alright!”

Hearing this, Gu Qing completely gave up!

The existence of Mount Wuliang indeed had its reasons.

Gu Qing changed the subject: “Are there many treasures inside the Limitless Secret Realm?”

“Yes, many! There are even innate treasures, and opportunities to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm.”

“There’s a widely accepted rumor on the Origin Continent that almost all Master Gods in the world have visited Mount Wuliang, entered the Limitless Secret Realm, and obtained great opportunities and fortunes.”

“Nearly half of the Heavenly Dao Realm experts on the Origin Continent broke through in the Limitless Secret Realm.”

Though this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it was largely accurate.

After all, it was an Origin Divine Mountain; those with ability would come seeking opportunities.

“Amazing! The Origin Divine Mountain lives up to its name!”

Mount Wuliang spanned the entire Origin Continent, truly the ancestral mountain and birthplace of the Origin Continent.

However… Gu Qing asked curiously, “Why are there no factions rooted on Mount Wuliang?”

“Do you think they don’t want to?”

“They dream of it, but they can’t.”

Youmeng explained, “Since ancient times, any sect, school, family, or dynasty that attempted to establish roots on Mount Wuliang has, without exception, perished in the river of history.”

“Simply put, they were all unable to enjoy such blessings and could not bear the karma.”

“Also, the strong cultivators of the Origin Continent all share a certain mindset: if I cannot establish a sect on Mount Wuliang, then no one else can.”

“Once discovered, they become a public enemy of the entire continent, and there will be powerful individuals who will come forth to annihilate them.”

“Of course, the world is vast and full of wonders.”

“There are always those who don’t believe in fate, who are self-important, and firmly believe that their destiny is in their own hands, not in the heavens, and that cultivation itself is going against the heavens.”

“Therefore, Mount Wuliang still has many hidden sects and hidden families.”

“Then they must be very powerful, right?” Gu Qing asked.

“Naturally!” Youmeng said, “They all start at the Seventh Realm, Heavenly Dao Realm experts are common, and only Master God-level beings are overlords.”

“What about Ancestral Gods?” Gu Qing pressed.

“Do you think Ancestral Gods are common goods? Ancestral Gods are practically embodiments of the Great Dao. Where they are, the Dao is.”

“What does that mean?” Gu Qing was bewildered.

He understood every word Youmeng said, but when put together, he couldn't grasp the meaning.

According to Youmeng, Ancestral Gods were not living beings, but rather Dao forms that transcended everything.

But wasn't Chaos Ancestral God a realm and a living being?

“Literally, Chaos Ancestral Gods are omnipotent, omnipresent, and supreme,” Youmeng said.

She also didn't know how to explain it, but that was just the fact.

Chaos Ancestral Gods are also called Dao Ancestors. They are the Great Dao itself, transcending the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, beyond reality and illusion, the source of everything, coexisting with the Dao, and ineffable.

The orthodoxies in the world might very well be the orthodoxies of Chaos Ancestral Gods.

The myriad beings in the world might very well be formed from a wisp of a Chaos Ancestral God’s aura.

The ten thousand Daos and myriad beings in the world exist because of the Dao Ancestor.

Therefore, where the Dao Ancestor is, the Dao is.

“I still can’t comprehend it,” Gu Qing pursed his lips in thought. What Youmeng said was too abstract and vague.

“It’s normal not to understand. When your realm reaches that level, you will naturally comprehend it.”

Youmeng paused, then added, “Many old monsters on Mount Wuliang are comprehending the Great Dao, including Chaos Dominator God-level existences. You should try to keep a low profile and not use overly heaven-defying divine abilities.”

“Also, Tian Xu, Gu Jun, and Ni Xiao have not given up on finding you. They might send a wisp of their Dao thought into the Limitless Secret Realm.”

“Moreover, the Origin Continent places great importance on one’s origins, so you cannot use your real name from now on.”

“Then…”

“Continue to use the Ru Yu Divine Maiden destiny. Ru Yu Divine Maiden, hahaha…”

“…”
