746: It turns out that everyone is a traitor to their master.
"Good, good, good!"
Gu Jun laughed in extreme anger, his heart filled with desolation; so many years of expectation had, in the end, been but a dream.
Tian Xu and Ni Xiao also stopped trying to persuade Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman had completely sided with Starry Sacred Mother, so anything more would be futile.
Knowing that a great calamity was imminent, Tian Xu, instead, calmed down, looking at Starry Sacred Mother with eyes full of envy: "Yu Xi, your unchanging original intention is something we cannot possess."
"No, that's not right!"
Tian Xu shook his head again: "We also have an unchanging original intention; we have a sincere heart for seeking the Dao. For the sake of the Great Dao, we can go to any lengths, and we can abandon everything."
"Initially, the five of us came together precisely because we all shared a sincere heart for seeking the Dao. We bowed to Heaven and Earth as our Mother, and the Great Dao as our Teacher, pursuing and exploring the Great Dao together..."
Tian Xu's words immediately stirred memories in Gu Jun, Ni Xiao, and Yu Xi Xuan Mei.
Indeed!
Back then, in the Eternal Universe, they supported each other, discussed the Great Dao together, and lived with such carefree joy.
But... how did they end up in this situation?
Gu Qing blinked. Good heavens, at first, Gu Qing thought the five had taken a powerful individual as their master. He never expected them to worship Heaven and Earth as their Mother and the Great Dao as their Teacher.
That works... it truly broadened his horizons.
Gu Qing's gaze shifted, seeing Starry Sacred Mother and Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's beautiful eyes filled with reminiscence, their expressions gradually softening.
A premonition of something bad immediately rose in his heart.
They wouldn't get soft-hearted at the crucial moment, would they?
After all, the five had cultivated together for countless years and had joined forces many times to fend off enemies.
For Starry Sacred Mother to possess Three Thousand Dao Provinces, Gu Jun and the other two had contributed greatly.
Moreover, the mere fact that the five were from the same lineage made many powerful individuals wary, proving to be crucial assistance for Starry Sacred Mother.
Although they had now gone their separate ways, and even become sworn enemies, women are emotional. Perhaps one moment they are foes, and the next they are reconciled as before.
Gu Qing wanted to interrupt Tian Xu and use a scheme to sow discord, but the words caught in his throat.
None of them were fools, and all five were individuals with unwavering Dao Hearts. How could their thoughts be swayed by mere words?
Furthermore, the five shared too many bonds; it was not his place as an outsider to offer unwarranted advice.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing silently stood aside, saying nothing.
"But how did we ultimately come to this point?"
Tian Xu murmured, shaking his head, and said with a bitter smile: "The human heart is unfathomable, and the greed and desires within are endless. To improve our cultivation more quickly, we wanted to dual cultivate with you, to have you assist us in our cultivation, which ultimately led us further and further apart. Everything is our own fault."
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's grip on Starry Sacred Mother's arm suddenly tightened. Starry Sacred Mother's mood was equally unsettled at this moment, her fingertips rubbing.
Looking at him with complex eyes, she sighed: "Things have come to this; it's too late for regrets."
No matter how much reluctance she felt, she would not spare the three of them.
Since they had already formed an unresolvable feud, it would only end with death.
"No, I have never regretted it."
Tian Xu's eyes were firm: "Even if I had to do it again, I would still choose the same path. Even if I knew it meant certain death, I would still kill Gu Qing."
Gu Jun and Ni Xiao were also the same, their expressions firm. Their Dao Hearts were unshakeable; for the opportunity of the Dao Ancestor, they would not hesitate, even if it meant flying into a flame like a moth.
"Indeed!" Cang Yu nodded. He also would not regret his actions against Gu Qing.
For cultivators, especially those who had reached the Master God level, how firm were their Dao Hearts?
Let alone encountering an opportunity from a Dao Ancestor, even if they encountered an opportunity that would allow them to break through a realm, it would be impossible for them to give it up.
True cultivators are never afraid of death; they just don't want to die, that's all.
Starry Sacred Mother remained silent.
For the opportunity to break through, she too was willing to take risks, not hesitating even if it meant a near-certain death.
However, she had her own steadfast original intention.
"Yu Xi, we can see that you are different towards him."
Tian Xu suddenly pointed at Gu Qing, gritting his teeth.
Gu Qing: "..."
You can talk, you can reminisce, but why point at him?
He hadn't said anything at all.
"What's wrong with my disciple?" Starry Sacred Mother frowned.
"You are too good to him; we would believe it if you said he was your son. You treat him as a disciple, but he may not necessarily treat you as his master."
"Have you ever considered that you are so beautiful, your status so noble, that no man would not be moved by you?"
"He is currently weak and dares not do anything to you, but once his cultivation surpasses yours, he will surely turn on you."
"Just like your previous disciples, their filial piety twisted; they all wanted you to become their Dao Companion."
Tian Xu's voice was somewhat breaking down.
It wasn't because Starry Sacred Mother couldn't see Gu Qing's ambition, nor was it because Gu Qing had the potential to pursue his master.
Rather, he strongly suspected that with Gu Qing's handsome appearance, unparalleled talent, and Starry Sacred Mother's doting on him, over time and with prolonged companionship, Starry Sacred Mother might fall for Gu Qing and marry him.
The mere thought of this possibility made him unable to hold back.
Gu Qing's heart jolted.
He had hidden himself so deeply, only meeting them a couple of times in total, how could he have been found out?
Gu Qing secretly shook his head, dismissing this thought.
Tian Xu and the others definitely hadn't seen it; they must have guessed.
It had to be said, Tian Xu guessed accurately; men truly understood men best.
No man didn't want to conquer a noble goddess like Starry Sacred Mother.
It was just that Tian Xu's thoughts were still conservative.
"Why would one need to surpass Master's cultivation to develop a relationship with Master?" Gu Qing thought to himself.
He finally understood why Zhao Yangyan, before his death, would say that he would eventually follow in his footsteps.
Turns out, everyone was a rebellious disciple pursuing their master.
"Yes, this child has ill intentions, Yu Xi, you must think twice."
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman finally couldn't hold back, advising with extreme worry.
In her opinion, Gu Qing was not as simple as Starry Sacred Mother claimed, merely driven by natural desires.
To be involved with a demonic cultivator and utter such hateful words, Gu Qing must definitely be a lecher.
Sooner or later, he would extend his demonic claws towards Starry Sacred Mother.
"To your head."
Starry Sacred Mother flicked her smooth forehead, feeling a bit guilty in her heart, but her tone was extremely firm: "Xuan Mei, you don't understand. Affairs between Dao Companions, perhaps it's mutual affection? It's better for outsiders not to judge carelessly."
"And even more so, don't label others because of it. That's not good."
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman pursed her red lips, feeling unwilling. Why wouldn't Yu Xi believe her?
Gu Qing really wasn't a good person.
She had seen and heard everything with her own eyes and ears; there was absolutely no injustice done to Gu Qing.
Moreover, Tian Xu had said so much, and there were countless precedents laid out before them, why was Yu Xi still so stubborn?
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman felt a little distressed, not knowing what to do.
She understood Starry Sacred Mother too well.
Starry Sacred Mother trusted every disciple implicitly, always holding a glimmer of hope that her disciples would be like her, always maintaining their original intention.
