613: Level 12 Formation
To obtain the treasures within, Fu Qi had worked hard for an unknown number of Yuanhui, so many that he couldn't even remember.
But Fu Qi was clear: ever since he discovered the Level Ten Grand Array, he had become obsessed, pouring everything he had into it.
From a saint who knew nothing about formations, he became a Level Nine Saint Array Master, diligently studying array formations for countless years, exhausting his family's wealth to refine array artifacts.
When materials were insufficient, he would plunder.
To obtain array dao classics, he even sold himself to large families and major sects.
However, three times in a row, he failed to find the location of the Level Ten Grand Array.
This time, he had gone all in.
He had refined countless array artifacts and found a few allies; it was either success or death.
"I'm not sure, but I'm willing to try." Gu Qing felt a little excited inside.
After all, there might be Heavenly Dao Realm treasures nurtured within. Who would dislike Heavenly Dao Realm treasures?
"Friend, would it be convenient to reveal the level of your Dao Pupil?" Fu Qi didn't agree immediately.
There were many people in the world with Dao Pupils, but their power was very limited.
Especially upon reaching the Transcendence Realm, they were almost useless.
And Dao Pupils that could see through array formations of the same realm only existed in legends.
He was also trying his luck.
If Gu Qing could see through saint-level grand arrays, then he would definitely bring Gu Qing along.
"I can see through array formations of the same level."
Gu Qing's Dao Pupil could see through all illusions. Let alone Heavenly Dao Realm array formations, he could even see through Great Dao Realm array formations.
However, Gu Qing would be crazy to reveal all his trump cards.
Being able to see through array formations of the same level was already astonishing enough.
"Really?" Fu Qi's expression was excited.
"Really!" Gu Qing nodded slightly.
Fu Qi immediately took out a long sword and said, "This matter is extremely important; it's not that I don't trust you, friend."
"Please take a look at how many array formations are in this Dao artifact and simulate them."
Dao artifact?
This was clearly an Immortal Emperor artifact refined from a mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.
Gu Qing calmly activated his Dao Pupil to inspect it and used his magic power to simulate the array formations within.
"Good, good, good, friend, you did not deceive me."
Seeing the array formation diagram, Fu Qi was so excited that he said "good" several times, his eyes sparkling with light, and a myriad of calculations appearing in his mind.
"Friend, please follow me."
Fu Qi made a gesture of invitation, leading Gu Qing across the void.
A flying boat, radiating brilliant divine light that illuminated the void, floated in the boundless emptiness.
Fu Qi opened the flying boat's shield and invited Gu Qing in.
Inside the pavilion, there were three people: two men and one woman.
The woman sat to one side, meditating with her eyes closed, surrounded by saint light, beautiful and ethereal.
Of the two middle-aged men, one was bald with nine ring scars on his head.
The other looked like a knight-errant, with a rugged appearance and carrying a nine-ringed broadsword on his back.
Both had full beards and sat together, eating meat and drinking wine heartily, with wine dripping from their beards, their posture uninhibited.
They didn't look like saints of the Seventh Realm at all; instead, they resembled Jianghu Hero (jianghu haoke - chivalrous figures).
"Friend Yu Qing, this is Saint Qiu Yu, this is Saint Fu Yong, and this is Monk Wu Bu Jie."
Fu Qi introduced the three one by one, and at the end, he smiled, "Friend Yu Qing's strength, have you all seen it? You all have no objections to inviting Friend Yu Qing to join, right?"
"This humble one naturally has no objection to Friend Yu Qing joining."
"However, how should the treasures be distributed?"
Although they were eating and drinking in the flying boat, they clearly saw Fu Qi and Gu Qing's conversation.
Although Gu Qing might not necessarily discover the Level Ten Grand Array, he should be able to find some clues, which would be crucial for them to discover the Level Ten Grand Array.
The only concern was Gu Qing's background.
If Gu Qing came from a Twelve Star or even Master God-level Dao lineage, that would be troublesome.
Of course, in the face of Heavenly Dao Realm treasures, it was only a minor trouble.
Because the rules of the Limitless Secret Realm forbade powerful individuals from descending, even split souls were prohibited from appearing. Once they appeared, they would be immediately obliterated by the rules of the Limitless Secret Realm.
It is worth mentioning that once a cultivator's physical body is shattered, their soul will also be annihilated.
Therefore, they were not worried about Gu Qing calling for help at all.
"Naturally, according to the old rules."
Fu Qi's expression turned stern, his voice containing a warning. He scanned the few people and said, "The Level Ten Grand Array was discovered by me first, and I also refined countless array artifacts for it. Therefore, no matter what treasures are inside, I will be the first to choose."
"Good!" Gu Qing nodded with an unchanged expression, a cold sneer in his heart.
How could a potential Heavenly Dao Realm treasure possibly be chosen by Fu Qi first?
Presumably, everyone present knew this, including Fu Qi.
Fu Qi concealed his cultivation, certainly for the purpose of getting rid of his allies and betraying them at the end.
As for these three... daring to cooperate with Fu Qi, they must also have some tricks up their sleeves.
All three were at the peak of the Seventh Realm, but they all disguised themselves as being in the middle stage.
Once a supreme treasure was discovered, a great battle was inevitable.
It just depended on who had the upper hand.
"Since there are no problems, Friend Yu Qing, please swear an oath with your Dao Heart. We have already made a Great Dao Oath before." Fu Qi said.
Clap!
Gu Qing clapped open the folding fan in his hand and gently fanned himself: "There's no need for an oath. I, Yu, stand tall and upright, uphold my original intention, always treat people with integrity. Everyone calls me a proper gentleman, gentle and refined like jade, honest and trustworthy..."
"???"
Listening to Gu Qing's lengthy speech, cracks appeared on the calm faces of the four.
Shameless.
Brazen.
The four looked at Gu Qing with complex expressions, their feelings hard to describe.
Who didn't know who here?
Cooperating together was like playing with fire.
Originally, seeing Gu Qing's handsome appearance, refined and ethereal demeanor, and noble and elegant temperament, they thought he was a gentleman like an orchid.
Even if he went back on his word in the end, it would be understandable, after all, in the face of Heavenly Dao Realm treasures, no one could remain calm.
At worst, they would pay a high price to clear the Great Dao Oath.
However, they never expected that Gu Qing would actually lie through his teeth.
They had never seen such a brazen and shameless person.
"Clap!"
Gu Qing closed his folding fan and said with a serious expression, "In short, I, Yu, disdain to swear an oath. If you all disagree, I, Yu, will leave now, as if I, Yu, had never been here."
"???"
"Good, good, Friend Yu Qing is indeed an honest gentleman whose words match his actions."
Fu Qi praised greatly, saying, "I have deep trust in Friend Yu Qing; an oath is indeed superfluous. What do you all think?"
He had figured it out: Gu Qing wasn't shameless, but rather, he didn't even bother to pretend.
"What an arrogant brat." Fu Qi sneered inwardly.
He wanted to see how much strength Gu Qing had.
After he finished using Gu Qing, he would make Gu Qing understand what it meant for human hearts to be treacherous, and what it meant that there were always people stronger and higher than oneself.
He wanted Gu Qing's pair of Dao Pupils.
"What Fu Qi said is absolutely true; I also believe in Friend Yu Qing."
"This humble one feels an immediate kinship with Friend Yu Qing and trusts him deeply."
"Friend Yu Qing is truly an interesting person." Qiu Yu, full of the charm of a mature woman, said with sparkling eyes and a beaming smile.
Looking at Gu Qing's unparalleled handsome face and refined, ethereal temperament, her heart itched.
She thought to herself, "If conditions allow, I'll take this boy back as a male concubine. I've never tasted such a handsome man before."
"Not at all, you flatter me." Gu Qing clasped his fists and smiled, then found an empty seat and sat down.
There was nothing more to say to these tools.
Once they reached their destination, he would use his Myriad Transformations Chaos innate divine ability to take the treasures inside, then pack up and leave.
