684: The traitor actually dared to hit me

The Star Mother returned to her Immortal Cave, silently sat on the Primordial Green Lotus, and faced Gu Qing.

Looking at Gu Qing, whose eyes were tightly shut, his nose bridge was high, his facial contours were sharp yet not lacking in softness, and his features seemed meticulously sculpted by the hand of the heavens.

The Star Mother's expression grew increasingly gentle as she murmured, "My disciple possesses the potential of a Dao Ancestor. For me to have such a disciple is a blessing cultivated over nine lifetimes."

She felt that Gu Qing possessed an extremely potent 'Revered Master-Prospering Destiny.'

Ever since meeting Gu Qing, she had comprehended the Great Dao of Creation and the Great Dao of Destiny from the Primordial Green Lotus, and had understood the method for refining Heaven-Grade Weapons.

Her Realm foundation had undergone a qualitative leap.

This was a transformation she couldn't achieve even after hundreds of millions of years of secluded cultivation.

Now, she had even obtained the Chaos Fetal Membrane.

She was confident she could become an unrivaled existence below the Dao Ancestor.

The Star Mother knew very well that if Gu Qing hadn't called her back, she wouldn't have discovered Ye Chenxiao until who knows when.

Perhaps by the time she did discover him, Ye Yi and Ye Chenxiao would have already grown powerful, and even if she wanted to scheme, she wouldn't have the strength.

Let alone obtaining the entire Chaos Fetal Membrane.

Of course, these immense good fortunes were not the most important.

The most important thing was that the Primordial Green Lotus had been upgraded by Gu Qing.

It contained the power of the tribulation, the power of the Heavenly Dao, creation and destruction... Gu Qing was even willing to share it with her.

The Star Mother felt dizzy, a sense of unreality, like a dream.

She wasn't foolish; she naturally saw that Gu Qing's talent was too exceptional, and he didn't rely on Magic Treasures, so he simply didn't realize how precious the Primordial Green Lotus was.

He generously offered it to her for comprehension, firmly and unequivocally believing in his mind that no one could surpass him.

Even if everyone fully comprehended the Primordial Green Lotus, even if he lost the Primordial Green Lotus, Gu Qing still firmly believed he could ascend to the peak of the Great Dao.

With such Heart-Nature and ambition, coupled with his innate talent and Luck, becoming a Dao Ancestor was not impossible.

"Revered Master, what did you say? Is it true? Am I really the blessing Revered Master cultivated over nine lifetimes?"

Gu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and asked in surprise.

When the Star Mother took the Guixu Sword, he was still in an Epiphany.

But as soon as the battle began, he was immediately surprised; the Guixu Sword, after all, had his Divine Soul imprint, so he couldn't have not noticed the battle.

Gu Qing truly hadn't expected that while the Star Mother was lecturing him on the Dao, she would actually be fighting a Divine-Grade Dominator.

The Star Mother's smile stiffened: "It's false."

She couldn't give the Rebellious Disciple an inch, or he'd take a mile, and in the future, he would be even more brazen in hugging her leg.

"Revered Master is stubborn."

"...Are you asking for a beating?!"

To actually say she was stubborn, who was the Revered Master after all?

Rebellious Disciple... The Star Mother felt her hands itching again.

Gu Qing quickly changed the subject: "Revered Master, who was the person you fought?"

"He is the mastermind behind Ye Chenxiao."

"Didn't Revered Master say that his Realm was higher than yours, and you weren't his match? Then how was he disabled of an arm by Revered Master? Revered Master couldn't have been using me to lure him out, could she? Revered Master is too cunning, you are truly sly and treacherous..."

"Rebellious Disciple!"

"Slap!"

The Star Mother couldn't tolerate it for a second; the Rebellious Disciple just needed a good beating.

To actually call her cunning, sly and treacherous... For whom was she scheming all this?

Wasn't it to help Gu Qing deal with potential enemies?

After all, one mountain cannot hold two tigers; the Star God Sect could only have Gu Qing, not Ye Chenxiao.

The Chaos Fetal Membrane obtained naturally also had a share for Gu Qing.

Using the Chaos Fetal Membrane to Breakthrough to Heavenly Human, the Realm would be flawless, with infinite potential.

However, what the Star Mother never expected was that before her hand could strike the Rebellious Disciple's back of the head, she herself received a slap to the back of her own head.

The Star Mother was completely stunned.

The Rebellious Disciple... actually hit her???

What kind of Rebellious Disciple was this!!!

The Star Mother's eyelids twitched wildly.

It's chaotic.

It's truly in disarray.

"Yuxi, quickly tell your disciple, during the battle just now, did you manage to seize his Magic Treasure?"

Looking at the stunned Star Mother, Gu Qing asked with a smile.

He had figured it out: Revered Master was gentle and affectionate, supremely pure and holy, with great tolerance... As long as he didn't touch her bottom line, she would have infinite tolerance, even accepting everything about him.

So, rather than passively taking a beating, it was better to take the initiative.

"...No, but your Revered Master did scheme for his Chaos Fetal Membrane."

The Star Mother felt she couldn't let this continue; now the Rebellious Disciple was hitting her and calling her by name, next time would the Rebellious Disciple hit her and call her a rebellious Revered Master?

Hiss~

Can't think about it, can't think about it!

"What? Chaos Fetal Membrane?"

Gu Qing was shocked; the Chaos Fetal Membrane was the top-tier treasure of the endless Chaos, and he had naturally heard of it.

"Mm!"

"Here!"

The Star Mother sat cross-legged on the Primordial Green Lotus, her dharma-body solemn.

Her Divine Thought entered her inner Chaos Star Realm, controlled the Guixu Sword, and cut off a fingernail-sized piece of sheepskin.

It wasn't that she was reluctant to give more, but rather that she couldn't interfere too much with Gu Qing's growth.

Gu Qing's Great Dao path had its own arrangements by Jiang Yu.

Furthermore, even though it was only a fingernail-sized corner, this bit of Chaos Fetal Membrane was actually enough for Gu Qing to Breakthrough to Heavenly Human.

Giving too much, if Gu Qing were to suddenly Breakthrough to the Twelfth Realm, or even the Chaos Dominator Divine-Grade, it would be harmful rather than beneficial to Gu Qing.

"For me?"

Gu Qing looked at the fingernail-sized Chaos Fetal Membrane, which resembled ordinary leather, and spoke with difficulty.

This was a supreme treasure that even Chaos Dominator Divine-Grades sought in vain.

"For you!"

The Star Mother nodded with a smile, thinking what a foolish disciple he was.

Gu Qing quickly placed it in a jade box, applied a Restriction, and his excitement was evident.

He had struck it rich.

With this piece of Chaos Fetal Membrane, within ten thousand years, he would surely be able to cross the Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Perfection of the Ninth Realm, and Breakthrough to Heavenly Human.

"Then how should Ye Chenxiao be dealt with?"

Gu Qing asked.

He wanted to take care of Ye Chenxiao before going into seclusion.

After all, ten thousand years was too long; it wouldn't be good if Ye Chenxiao suddenly caused trouble.

However, with Ye Yi behind Ye Chenxiao, Gu Qing didn't dare to act recklessly.

"Ye Yi is not dead; there may be a day when he makes a comeback."

"If you push him too hard, he might retaliate against you at all costs..."

The Star Mother shook her head slightly, not continuing, disapproving of Gu Qing's approach.

Keeping Ye Chenxiao alive was more useful than killing him.

As long as Ye Chenxiao was alive, Ye Yi still had a glimmer of hope, and perhaps he could be lured out.

Of course, Ye Yi definitely wouldn't come out in the short term.

She could also take this opportunity to refine the Chaos Fetal Membrane and Breakthrough her Realm; by then, she wouldn't fear even a full-strength Ye Yi.

Ye Yi would also surely want to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible, seek revenge on her, and reclaim the Chaos Fetal Membrane.

"Revered Master speaks wisely; then let's spare his life for now."

Gu Qing immediately abandoned the idea of killing Ye Chenxiao; improving his cultivation was more important.

Keeping Ye Chenxiao alive wasn't a big problem; he could just be considered a blood bag.

Once Ye Chenxiao's Luck recovered, he could harvest another wave.

As for Ye Chenxiao causing trouble, that wasn't a big issue; just have a few people keep an eye on him.

Thinking this, Gu Qing immediately went to find Emperor Ziwei, Ming Yu, and that female Elder, asking them to keep an eye on Ye Chenxiao.

He also asked them to look after Yaoyao and Hongluan.

Having arranged everything, Gu Qing simply entered the Infinite Space for secluded cultivation.

The Star Mother wasn't idle either; she had people release Ye Chenxiao and then went to the boundless Chaos to refine the Chaos Fetal Membrane.
