750: The Five Declined, the Mourning Monkey

“It’s coming…”

Gu Qing sensed the arrival of the great tribulation, his palms sweating from nervousness.

He had always cherished his life, and Gu Qing felt there was nothing wrong with that. Therefore, since he began cultivating, he had maxed out his life-saving skills, which had kept him from ever being injured.

Now, he was about to face a life-or-death tribulation, and it was a tribulation of equality for all living beings, meaning the stronger one was, the stronger the calamity that would descend. He couldn't help but be nervous.

“Don’t be afraid, with your Master here, I can certainly protect you from harm.”

The Starry Sacred Mother spoke softly, her eyes revealing a look of heartache.

She had come to realize that her little man was afraid of death and cherished his life. If she could, she would rather face the tribulation in Gu Qing’s stead.

“Master, quickly move aside.”

Gu Qing suddenly pushed her away, and an extreme Five Decays Power emanated from him.

The Five Decays quietly descended upon his body.

Gu Qing’s physique, magic power, Dao fruit, divine soul, and origin were rapidly decaying and rotting; his entire being aged at an alarming rate.

Gu Qing activated a secret technique, attempting to block the Five Decays Power. However, the Five Decays Power seemed not to have descended from heaven and earth, but rather originated from within him.

It was as if his own lifespan had reached its limit, and there was absolutely no way to stop or avoid it.

Gu Qing took a deep breath, then used the Chaotic Treasure Bottle to see if he could refine it.

His hands quickly formed seals, and a treasure bottle enveloped him. An omnipresent refining power filled Gu Qing’s entire body.

The Five Decays Power was rapidly being refined… “It can… No, it can’t…”

Gu Qing turned pale with fright. The Chaotic Treasure Bottle could refine the Five Decays Power, but it couldn't eradicate it.

However much he refined, the Five Decays Power would immediately regenerate by the same amount, and this Five Decays Power was all generated from his own magic power and bloodline.

Refining the Five Decays Power was equivalent to refining himself.

Gu Qing’s hanging heart finally died.

The Three Tribulations and Five Decays were indeed calamities of equality for all living beings; there was no way to escape them.

He put away the Chaotic Treasure Bottle, and a jade bottle was immediately offered to his lips, accompanied by the Starry Sacred Mother’s gentle voice.

“Disciple, drink quickly!”

Gu Qing: “…”

Why did he suddenly feel like a rich woman was forcing him to drink medicine?

“Gulp!” Gu Qing gulped for several minutes. As the Three Lights Divine Water entered his body, his decaying and rotting bloodline immediately burst forth with vitality.

Seeing his condition improve, the Starry Sacred Mother chided him, “Foolish disciple, how dare you refine the Five Decays Power? In the future, if you encounter anything uncertain, consult your Master first. Do not act recklessly again.”

“I was just relying on having the Chaotic Treasure Bottle, wasn’t I?” Gu Qing said, feeling depressed.

Who the hell knew that the Five Decays Power would actually be a decay of one’s own power?

Fortunately, the Starry Sacred Mother had prepared the Three Lights Divine Water, otherwise he would have instantly become an Old Scoundrel.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing pressed, “How much Three Lights Divine Water did Master prepare? Give it all to me.”

He certainly didn’t want to be corroded into an Old Scoundrel by the Five Decays Power.

As everyone knows, innate Three Lights Divine Water is a sacred healing item, capable of cleansing the divine soul, physique, aptitude, and even the mind, inner demons, and all evil.

Even for a Transcendent, it is a sacred healing item.

Furthermore, Three Lights Divine Water can also refine magic treasures and improve their grade.

The Three Lights Divine Water refined by the Starry Sacred Mother was condensed from the Starlight Avenue, Moonlight Avenue, and Sunlight Avenue.

Its effect was billions of times more powerful than innate Three Lights Divine Water.

Other than the name, the two were not on the same level of treasure at all.

Indeed, the Three Lights Divine Water Gu Qing drank had been continuously flushing away the Five Decays Power in his body, allowing his decaying and rotting bloodline to regain vitality.

It even showed a faint trend of strengthening.

To be able to improve oneself during a tribulation shows how heaven-defying the Three Lights Divine Water is.

It’s no wonder that Ye Yi, who was at the Dao Lord realm, also wanted to obtain Three Lights Divine Water for healing.

“Don’t worry, your Master has already prepared enough Three Lights Divine Water for you.”

The Starry Sacred Mother handed him the jade bottle, which contained an ocean of Three Lights Divine Water.

Enough for Gu Qing to drink for hundreds of millions of years.

“Master is truly a super rich woman…”

Gu Qing’s face showed joy as he sincerely exclaimed.

He had thought that giving the Starry Sacred Mother the Light of the Universe and the Universe Clock was already magnificent enough, but compared to so much Three Lights Divine Water, it still fell short.

Even a single drop of Three Lights Divine Water appearing in the outside world would probably cause Celestials to fight over it like mad.

Yet, the Starry Sacred Mother possessed an ocean of Three Lights Divine Water, and could continuously refine more.

Indeed, no matter what world, the strong remain strong, and the rich remain rich.

Unless one was at that level, one simply couldn't imagine how rich the wealthy truly were.

“Silly talk.” The Starry Sacred Mother poked his forehead: “Don’t say such strange things.”

Although she quite liked hearing it, it always made her feel a strange shyness, making her feel embarrassed.

Gu Qing chuckled, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and buried his head in her warm, fragrant embrace.

“Mm~ Disciple, during a tribulation, one cannot cultivate. It’s best not to hide in a cave dwelling and remain reclusive. One should go to a place with flourishing human activity, integrate into the chaotic great world, and use the power of the mortal world to pass the Five Decays more quickly.”

“Also, it’s best not to kill during a tribulation, and certainly not to go on a killing spree, otherwise it will exacerbate the calamity and may cause the Heavenly Dao Karma Fire to descend prematurely…”

The Starry Sacred Mother fed him a peeled grape, admonishing him about various taboos during tribulation, but as she spoke, her voice grew weaker and weaker… Gu Qing placed all the remaining Master God origin into Youmeng’s secluded cultivation cave.

The Starry Sacred Mother thought for a moment and also placed her remaining origin into Youmeng.

The two walked out of the cave, restrained their aura, and strolled through the void, preparing to settle in Wanxing City for a period of time.

After all, Wanxing City gathered an unknown number of powerful cultivators and races from various Dao Provinces, making it the best city for undergoing tribulation.

As soon as they left the mountain gate, they encountered Qi Ruilin and her son.

Qi Ruilin wore a luxurious goose-yellow long dress, embroidered with golden cloud patterns, with soft armor underneath. She was tall, long-legged, and full of heroic spirit.

Every movement exuded the aura of an iron-blooded War Goddess.

However, at this moment, holding a golden monkey in her arms, Qi Ruilin’s eyes were filled with a smile, revealing maternal tenderness that softened her War Goddess aura.

“Master!” Xiao Houzi, with his sharp eyes, immediately saw Gu Qing. He bounced in his mother’s arms and jumped in front of Gu Qing.

Gu Qing, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed his tail and lifted him up.

“Hehehe!”

“Sect Leader, Ancestor… Ancestor Master…”

Qi Ruilin’s beautiful eyes widened, her voice trembling with excitement.

To meet the Ancestor Master on the way home, what incredible luck this was.

“Where have you been?”

Gu Qing held him by his tail, his smile looking increasingly mischievous.

Qi Tian’s golden eyes rolled, “I went for a walk in the city with Mommy. Master, do you have any innate spirit crystal? Can you give me some to buy things?”

“Hehe!”

Gu Qing laughed. He was truly a clever little monkey, a smarty-pants.

“Your Master doesn’t have innate spirit crystal, but your Master has a way that can help you earn a lot, a lot of innate spirit crystal.”

“Oh, what way is that? Is it more profitable than me secretly selling Mommy’s used bowls and chopsticks? Master, quickly tell me, quickly tell me…”

Gu Qing paused: “Who buys your Mommy’s used bowls and chopsticks?”

“It’s a few uncles. They often come to see Mommy and give her treasures. They also want Mommy’s worn clothes, but I couldn’t steal any.”

“Master, can you help me steal some of Mommy’s worn clothes? They’re really valuable.”

Gu Qing: “…”

You’re really a filial monkey, damn it.

Qi Ruilin was first stunned, then her pupils gradually dilated, and her whole body trembled.

The Starry Sacred Mother watched, completely bewildered.
