710: Pursuing Master

"???"

It can be like this?

Saint Mother Xingchen's beautiful eyes widened. She had thought it might have been given by Jiang Yu, or perhaps something Gu Qing had obtained by chance.

But she never expected it to be something Gu Qing had created himself.

She wouldn't even dare to entertain such a thought.

"Disciple, your Revered Master's experience is still shallow. You're not lying to me, are you?"

After all, this was simply not something humans could create.

Perhaps only the legendary Dao Ancestor, who knew everything and could do anything, could create such a thing.

"Why would I lie to Revered Master?" Gu Qing said helplessly.

"Is that truly so?"

"Truly!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Saint Mother Xingchen's gaze towards Gu Qing immediately changed.

It was as if she was looking at an unspeakable monstrosity.

With the Chaos Treasure Vase in hand, who could be Gu Qing's opponent?

"My disciple truly has the potential of a Dao Ancestor."

Saint Mother Xingchen's excitement was evident, a flush of red appearing on her fair, snowy skin, adding a touch of charm to her solemn appearance, like a ripe fruit in late autumn.

"Mm!"

Gu Qing hummed, then put his arm around her fragrant shoulder, raising an eyebrow: "Knowing I have the potential of a Dao Ancestor, why aren't you quickly offering up your treasures? Hmm?"

"So disrespectful."

Saint Mother Xingchen tapped him on the forehead. With that interruption, her excited emotions calmed down.

After some thought, Saint Mother Xingchen said with a solemn tone: "Although the Chaos Treasure Vase is extremely Heaven-Defying and peerless, you are not."

"Therefore, disciple, you must use it cautiously, keep it as a trump card, and not let outsiders know."

"I know, it's just..."

Gu Qing was feeling quite frustrated right now.

The power of the Chaos Treasure Vase exceeded his expectations, an almost invincible existence.

However, he never expected that Cangyu and the other three would flee so decisively.

How great it would have been if they had left a little later, or seen through the reality of the Chaos Treasure Vase a little later.

"Are you worried they will expose it?"

"Don't worry, they have entered the boundless Chaos; their demise is only a matter of time."

Saint Mother Xingchen smiled.

She saw clearly that the Chaos Treasure Vase had already merged with them; they couldn't escape and would eventually be refined.

"I know, but I hope they don't run into anyone."

..."You're overthinking it. The Chaos is vast and boundless. I have traveled the Chaos for billions of years and haven't encountered a single living being."

"You and the Chaos Treasure Vase are already connected in spirit, right? Can you sense the location of the Chaos Treasure Vase?"

Saint Mother Xingchen asked.

Gu Qing fully activated his Divine Soul to sense, and after a long moment, he shook his head: "I can only sense a vague general direction, and I can no longer control the Chaos Treasure Vase."

"Chaos Qi has the characteristic of isolating everything. If the Chaos Treasure Vase weren't your Magic Treasure, you wouldn't even be able to sense a vague direction."

After a pause, Saint Mother Xingchen continued: "The further the distance, the stronger the isolating power. They fled into the Chaos, surely wanting to escape your control over the Chaos Treasure Vase, fleeing deeper."

"So, you can rest assured. Perhaps they won't encounter a single living being until they die."

"At that time, you can just recall the Chaos Treasure Vase."

...The four of them, while Sealing themselves, fled frantically into the Chaos, stopping only after they had reached a sufficient distance.

The four immediately observed themselves, only to see a treasure vase appear in their minds, emanating a mysterious Dao charm.

It possessed unparalleled Fusion power. Even if they laid down layer after layer of Restrictions,

the Chaos Treasure Vase could even Fuse the Restrictions. Layer after layer of Restrictions became nourishment for the Chaos Treasure Vase.

The power of the Chaos Treasure Vase, which had been weakened by its division, was fully restored.

The four dared not delay and immediately began to deduce a way to break the Chaos Treasure Vase. After deducing for half a day, the four simultaneously discovered in despair that the Chaos Treasure Vase was simply unsolvable.

Unless Gu Qing was willing to let them go, they would eventually be refined.

"No, there must still be a way..."

The four refused to believe it.

If they couldn't break up the Chaos Treasure Vase, then they would Seal it, or transfer their bodies, like a cicada shedding its skin.

However, if they did that, they would also be crippled.

"If we're crippled, then so be it. It's better than perishing. I have endless lifespan; I'll eventually be able to Cultivate back."

The four simultaneously made a decision: they would save as much as they could before the Chaos Treasure Vase completely Fused with them.

Gu Qing didn't know that the four planned to shed their skin; otherwise, he would have laughed out loud.

Once the Chaos Treasure Vase locked onto a target, it was a fight to the death. Even if they escaped to an infinite distance, the Chaos Treasure Vase would re-condense within their bodies, disregarding distance.

Because the Chaos Treasure Vase was a manifestation of the Great Dao, and the Dao was everywhere.

Gu Qing and Saint Mother Xingchen returned to the Immortal Cave side by side. He immediately lay down on Revered Master's soft, fragrant bed, his hands as a pillow.

"This is great! Finally, I don't have to flee for my life anymore."

With the Chaos Treasure Vase appearing, the one who was supposed to flee, Gu Qing, was replaced by Cangyu and the other three.

"You... get up."

Saint Mother Xingchen was greatly alarmed.

Entering her fragrant boudoir was one thing, but how could a member of the opposite sex sleep on a woman's fragrant bed?

"Don't be like that, Revered Master. I've Cultivated diligently for many years, and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. I've noticed Revered Master's fragrant bed has a calming effect; let me sleep for a while."

How could Gu Qing get out of bed?

He had coveted Revered Master's fragrant bed for a long time.

Even if he got scolded for sleeping there, it would be a huge profit.

"..."

Saint Mother Xingchen's expression changed several times. She shook her head: "Sigh, there's really nothing I can do with you, Rebellious Disciple."

His arms had been around her thigh, and his arm around her shoulder. Sleeping on her fragrant bed didn't seem like such a big deal, did it?

Since the Rebellious Disciple liked it, she would let him be.

Anyway, he wouldn't listen to her even if she said something.

Gu Qing's heart filled with joy. Revered Master actually didn't scold him; things were unexpectedly smooth.

It made him feel a little unaccustomed.

"Filial son, honestly confess, have you fallen for your Revered Master?" You Meng's voice echoed leisurely in Gu Qing's mind.

"This... is this possible?" Gu Qing was stunned. He had never thought of turning Revered Master into his woman.

After all, Saint Mother Xingchen was too noble.

She possessed countless karmic positions and divine personalities.

She had fought countless battles in her life, created countless legends, and established supreme Dao traditions spread throughout the myriad heavens and worlds.

Which man wouldn't feel inferior when facing Saint Mother Xingchen?

Gu Qing wasn't inferior, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Because he instinctively felt it was unrealistic.

The reason he was so clingy with Saint Mother Xingchen was just to be a considerate, clingy little disciple.

However, hearing Godfather say that, he felt that Godfather made a lot of sense.

"The bed is already occupied by you, what else is impossible?" You Meng scorned him.

＜(｀^´)＞

"Yes, yes, yes, Godfather is absolutely right."

Gu Qing seemed to not understand Godfather's Yin and Yang, nodding frantically in his heart.

"Then why are you still lying down? Why not quickly invite Revered Master to join you in the clouds and rain of Wushan?"

"?"

Gu Qing's mouth twitched.

He could guarantee that if he really did as Godfather said, he would definitely be slapped into the Chaos by Saint Mother Xingchen.

"No rush, no rush. Feelings should take their natural course. I'll get on good terms with Revered Master first, and then when things happen between us, it will be a natural progression."

"???"

...Happy New Year, everyone! I wish you all a Happy New Year, good health, and that all your wishes come true.

Of course, there will be more updates.
