625: Wanjie Valley, the Green Lotus of Creation devours the aura of calamity

Gu Qing knew at a glance that he had touched upon Luo Li's core interests.

Gu Qing was speechless.

Although he had seen through Luo Li's true nature long ago, her filial piety had changed too quickly.

"Just speak your mind. Would Senior Brother really snatch it from you?"

"Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, it's fine. You're still my Junior Sister," Gu Qing said, feeling depressed.

It was as if no one knew anyone.

"Originally, I didn't want to say it, but seeing Senior Brother so distressed, how could Junior Sister not tell Senior Brother?"

Luo Li's exquisite divine face showed a faint smile as she slowly said, "Senior Brother also knows that the Myriad Tribulation Fruit is a Sacred Artifact, an existence even Heavenly Beings crave, obtainable only by those with great Luck."

"I have a Junior Brother who is a favored child of the Heavenly Dao, and he might encounter the Myriad Tribulation Fruit."

She didn't say the rest, but Gu Qing certainly knew.

Gu Qing did indeed know.

Treating the protagonist as a tool, Luo Li was stealing his job.

It seemed Luo Li had evolved over the years, knowing how to use the protagonist to find treasures.

"Be careful. The favored children of the Heavenly Dao gather countless Opportunities and great Luck. They're not that easy to exploit. Don't end up losing more than you gain," Gu Qing said.

"Senior Brother, rest assured, I know the intricacies involved."

Luo Li had killed so many favored children of the Heavenly Dao that she had accumulated very rich experience, deeply understanding their ability to turn ill fortune into good when their time came, with the help of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, she wouldn't underestimate any favored child of the Heavenly Dao.

Even if their Realm was much lower than hers, she wouldn't dare to be careless.

Luo Li thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, shall we cooperate?"

Gu Qing's Invisible Escape Art was too Heaven-Defying.

It would definitely not be discovered when used to track a favored child of the Heavenly Dao.

And she had the Nirvana Mirror, which could annihilate all Laws.

Even if a favored child of the Heavenly Dao had powerful escape techniques and strong combat power, they would undoubtedly die.

The two of them joining forces was simply perfect and invincible.

The more Luo Li thought about it, the more tempted she became.

"How would we cooperate?" Gu Qing became interested.

"Long Chen is extremely extraordinary, not an ordinary favored child of the Heavenly Dao. He must have a supreme treasure on him."

"I suspect he can not only obtain the Myriad Tribulation Fruit but also the true supreme treasure nurtured within Myriad Tribulation Valley."

"I want to play the long game, waiting for him to find the true supreme treasure before making a move to kill him."

"After succeeding, we'll split the treasures evenly. If there's only one Myriad Tribulation Fruit, it goes to me. What do you think, Senior Brother?"

Luo Li slowly said.

This was absolutely the most sincere she had ever been.

She wanted to share the treasures with Gu Qing.

Without Gu Qing, she definitely wouldn't risk tracking Long Chen.

Because she had tracked favored children of the Heavenly Dao before, and no matter how well she hid, she was always discovered very quickly.

So she planned to team up with Long Chen, and once Long Chen found the Myriad Tribulation Fruit, she would immediately kill him and take the Myriad Tribulation Fruit and the supreme treasures on him.

"Cooperation is unnecessary, but I'm quite curious about Long Chen. Where is he? Don't worry, since you discovered him, Senior Brother won't compete with you," Gu Qing mused for a moment, then shook his head.

He had the Dao Eye, so he didn't need the protagonist to lead the way at all.

However, he could meet Long Chen and, by the way, use his Destiny Divine Art to seize Long Chen's Luck.

"Ah?" Luo Li was dumbfounded.

Had she not made herself clear enough?

Long Chen might possess an Innate Supreme Treasure, and he might also lead them to a Dao-Grade treasure.

Was Gu Qing not tempted at all?

Thinking of the treasure Gu Qing possessed, which even Heavenly Void coveted...

Luo Li fell silent.

She was still too poor.

Even though she owned two Innate Supreme Treasures and hundreds of Innate Spirit Treasures.

"Let's go!"

Gu Qing stood up and put away the Time-Space Shuttle.

"Senior Brother, follow me."

Luo Li no longer dwelled on it. Since Gu Qing wasn't interested, she could only proceed with her original plan.

The two walked side by side towards Myriad Tribulation Valley, chatting and laughing.

This scene made the people guarding outside drop their jaws.

Especially Xu Ying, who felt like the sky had fallen.

The anticipated great battle between the two did not occur; instead, they saw Luo Li, like a young woman, chatting happily with Gu Qing, her eyes full of smiles.

"Isn't Junior Sister heartless when it comes to love? How could this be... No, Yu Qing is not a man. They are just good sisters."

Xu Ying quickly reacted, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly trotted after them.

He puffed out his chest, smiled, and followed the two in the posture of a flower guardian.

Gu Qing: "..."

Very good.

He encountered another love-struck idiot whom even passing zombies would disdain and avoid.

Luo Li's eyes darkened slightly.

She didn't want to kill Xu Ying.

Therefore, she deliberately told Xu Ying to return to the Sect and not follow her anymore.

However, Xu Ying remained unrepentant, still harboring ill intentions towards her.

At this moment, Luo Li had murderous intent.

If Xu Ying hindered her, she would certainly not be soft-hearted.

"Hmm~ this Tribulation Qi..."

Upon entering Myriad Tribulation Valley, it was as if they had entered a decaying world, filled with calamitous Qi.

Gu Qing immediately cast a body-protecting spell, and a layer of light film appeared on his body, blocking the calamitous Qi.

This calamitous Qi was too terrifying. Anyone below the Saint Realm who entered would undoubtedly die.

"Myriad Tribulation Valley gathers the boundless calamitous Qi of the Origin Continent. Every wisp of calamitous Qi can erode Transcenders."

"Even for a Saint, if the calamitous Qi invades their body, it can corrode their Saint Body, erode their Divine Soul and Dao Fruit, posing a risk of falling."

Luo Li's red lips parted slightly as she slowly said, "This is just the periphery. The deeper we go, the more terrifying the calamitous Qi becomes."

"It is said that a powerful Alchemist collected the Origin calamitous Qi from Myriad Tribulation Valley and refined the Saint-Slaying Pill, which can poison Saints."

"There are also powerful Artifact Refiners who collected the Origin calamitous Qi and refined Saint-Slaying Artifacts."

Hearing this, Gu Qing's heart was greatly moved.

He wondered if his Gui Xu Sword could devour the calamitous Qi.

He would try!

With a thought, Gu Qing collected a wisp of calamitous Qi for the Gui Xu Sword to devour.

Good news, it could devour it.

Bad news, it wasn't very useful.

After all, the Origins were different.

The Gui Xu Sword contained the Chaos Gui Xu Dao, capable of devouring all things to evolve.

While the calamitous Qi eroded all things, corrupting all living things.

Gu Qing collected another wisp of calamitous Qi and gave it to the Creation Green Lotus to devour.

After all, the Creation Green Lotus contained all Dao, encompassing all Laws and phenomena.

"It's useful..." Gu Qing was overjoyed.

The Creation Green Lotus, by devouring the calamitous Qi, could actually evolve the power of Tribulation Law.

"After thoroughly plundering Myriad Tribulation Valley, I'll let the Creation Green Lotus devour the calamitous Qi to evolve. Once the Creation Green Lotus is saturated, I'll let the Calamity Black Dragon devour it," Gu Qing thought to himself.

The Calamity Black Dragon and the calamitous Qi were similar in Origin, so he knew without testing that the Calamity Black Dragon could devour it, and for the Calamity Black Dragon, it was the best resource.

However, the Creation Green Lotus was his Dao-proving supreme treasure, of utmost importance to him, so naturally, everything would prioritize the Creation Green Lotus.

Long Ye saw Gu Qing's small actions and sneered inwardly.

If the calamitous Qi were so easy to utilize, the calamitous Qi in Myriad Tribulation Valley would have been plundered clean by various powerful beings long ago.

How could it be Gu Qing's turn?

Xu Ying, meanwhile, said gently, "Fellow Daoist Yu Qing, only special divine metals can carry calamitous Qi and be refined into treasures, but such divine metals are rare in the world."

"As far as I know, throughout the entire Origin Continent, only the Calamity Heavenly Venerate obtained such divine metal in Myriad Tribulation Valley and refined it into the Nine Tribulation Whip, whose power is boundless, its killing prowess unmatched, capable of slaying those of the same rank."

Gu Qing: "..."

You, this sycophant, are surprisingly kind-hearted.

Luo Li heard Xu Ying's words and thought, "Should I wait and see? What if Long Chen finds such divine metal?"

"Or perhaps not. Favored children of the Heavenly Dao are protected by destiny, and there will naturally be warnings from the Heavenly Dao in the dark. I should strike first and not be too greedy. Let's get the Myriad Tribulation Fruit first."

Myriad Tribulation Valley always nurtured forty-nine Myriad Tribulation Fruits, but they were not together but scattered throughout various parts of Myriad Tribulation Valley.

Each great formation contained only one.

Long Chen was fortunate to find one, but he might not find a second.

She had once cooperated with a favored child of the Heavenly Dao, hoping to use them to find more treasures.

However, favored children of the Heavenly Dao were truly strange; they would only encounter treasures useful to themselves.

She would gain a lot, while her teammates would gain nothing, only able to stare blankly and receive some useless junk.

And the Myriad Tribulation Fruit had a characteristic: it could be consumed in advance.

Luo Li didn't dare to bet that Long Chen could find a second one.

Thinking this, Luo Li immediately transmitted a message to Gu Qing: "Senior Brother, are you really not going to cooperate with me?"

"I want to wait for Long Chen to find the Myriad Tribulation Fruit, then I'll immediately snatch it and release him. You can track him, and you might get another Myriad Tribulation Fruit."

"Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to squeeze out his last bit of value?"
