779: The power of the Five Decays is becoming more and more terrifying.

“My daughter has just grown up, beautiful and talented...”

Gu Qing felt both sorrow and relief. It wasn't easy; he had finally raised his gluttonous daughter, and she had turned out so outstanding.

Xian'er bit her pink lips. I'll endure, endure again, endure repeatedly... When she could endure no more, she smiled sweetly and said, “Daddy, come and teach me how to write.”

Gu Qing's smile stiffened, and he quickly shook his head, “No, your daddy is of shallow talent and learning. How could I compare to your mother?”

Although his relationship with Starry Sacred Mother couldn't be exposed, Starry Sacred Mother could adopt her as a goddaughter.

“Nonsense! Daddy was a third-place scholar and a top scholar! This was only because his looks overshadowed his talent. How could he be of shallow talent and learning? Hmph!”

Xian'er snorted, stopped writing, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

“Come teach Xian'er. I'll go cook.”

Starry Sacred Mother glared at him and got up to cook in the kitchen.

With her virtuous wife and loving mother attributes maxed out, cooking was naturally no problem for her. The dishes she prepared were even more delicious and nutritious than those cooked by a Dao Chef.

“You little rascal...”

Gu Qing pinched her tender cheek.

“Bad Daddy!”

Xian'er, not to be outdone, tapped her old father's head with her pen.

“Stop messing around! I'll be checking your homework later.”

Starry Sacred Mother's gentle and beautiful voice came from the kitchen.

The two immediately stopped. A mischievous look appeared in Xian'er's beautiful eyes, and she transmitted, “Good Daddy, I heard that the Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm is about to open. Our Star God Sect has ten spots, and I want to participate.”

Gu Qing: “Just tell your mother about this.”

Xian'er's jade hand, hidden under the table, clenched: “No, Daddy, I just want to tell you. You're my real father.”

Gu Qing looked troubled: “The Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm is too dangerous. You should still talk to your mother. I can't make the decision.”

Xian'er couldn't keep up the act anymore. She reached out and twisted her old father's ear: “Mommy, Mommy, you just want to be a hands-off manager. You're so annoying.”

“Sigh!” Gu Qing sighed, truly an unfilial daughter who defied heaven.

“Alright, alright, I'll talk to her in a bit.”

“Hehe, Daddy, does it hurt? Xian'er will blow on it for you.”

Xian'er smiled brightly, pursed her cherry lips, and blew on her old father's ear, overjoyed.

With Gu Qing's nod, this matter was definitely settled.

“Stop that!”

Gu Qing pushed her little head away: “Hurry up and write. If your mother checks it later and it's not up to par, let alone going out for experience, you won't even be allowed to leave the house.”

“Mhm, mhm, mhm!” Xian'er grinned and nodded repeatedly, her smile innocent and bright.

Soon, Xian'er finished writing, and Starry Sacred Mother promptly brought out the dishes.

Gu Qing just watched the mother and daughter eat.

Ten years had passed, and the Five Decays Power was becoming increasingly severe. He couldn't eat anything at all now, having lost his sense of taste, smell, and touch... His body was decaying badly, his divine soul was extremely weak, and his once heaven-reaching cultivation was now one in a billion.

He had also aged more than ten years.

If not for a sufficient supply of Three Lights Divine Water to replenish his vitality, he would have already become an Old Scoundrel, with less than one-billionth of his original strength.

The Three Tribulations and Five Decays were more terrifying than Gu Qing had anticipated.

It had only been ten years, and it was already this severe. In the next ten thousand years, he wondered if he could survive.

That's right, the Five Decays Power, at its fastest, takes ten thousand years; at its slowest, it takes one epoch.

Each of the Three Tribulations is also the same.

Gu Qing's mood at this moment was beyond desperate. He deeply understood what it meant for all beings to be equal, and why so many prodigies, ninety percent of them, couldn't overcome the Three Tribulations and Five Decays.

It was simply too terrifying.

Gu Qing was extremely doubtful that if he didn't have the myriad tribulation fruit, he probably wouldn't be able to get through it either.

“Master, you heard what Xian'er said, right?” After the two finished eating, Gu Qing spoke.

“I heard it.”

“Then what does Master mean?”

“Do you really believe she wants to go out for experience? She just wants to go out and frolic,” Starry Sacred Mother transmitted.

“I know, but our daughter has grown up. As parents, we've taught her everything we should. We can't always restrain her, suppress her nature, and forcibly mold her into the image we want, can we? That's not advisable,” Gu Qing transmitted.

Starry Sacred Mother was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Although she was strict, she didn't want to suppress her nature; she just wanted to teach Xian'er everything she should know.

Xian'er had been watching her expression out of the corner of her eye, and seeing her nod, she was so happy she almost jumped up.

She just knew that her old daddy was the best.

“Xian'er, the Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm is a secret realm naturally evolved by the Great Dao rules. It contains countless opportunities and endless good fortune. Every spot is extremely precious.”

“The ten spots in our Star God Sect are all contested through competitions. If you want one, then you must strive for it with your own ability,” Gu Qing said softly, stroking his daughter's head.

“Daddy, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down,” Xian'er said earnestly.

In these ten years, she hadn't just studied and written; she also frequently entered Starry Sacred Mother's Ten Thousand Stars Abode, which had a million times faster time flow, to cultivate and hone her divine abilities.

With Starry Sacred Mother's personal guidance and the great divine abilities Gu Qing taught her, she could kill those of the same cultivation level as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

“Liu Ruyan and the others will definitely participate too. Just go with them.”

Xian'er's strength was great, and with the magic treasures he gave her, she was unrivaled among those of the same cultivation level. But her experience was too little; he wasn't at ease with her acting alone.

She still needed experienced people to guide her.

“Mhm, mhm! Then I'll go sign up?”

“Go!”

Xian'er darted off, running all the way back to the Star God Sect and entering the Ten Thousand Stars Abode.

“Liu Ruyan, Xiao Hongdou... I'm here!”

Her gentle and elegant fairy image was completely gone; she was like a frolicking puppy, hugging Liu Ruyan.

“Naughty, if your mother sees you later, you'll be in for a good scolding.”

Liu Ruyan pinched her dainty nose, her eyes smiling.

“No way, Daddy already spoke up. My mother won't punish me,” Xian'er said, squinting her big eyes and rubbing against Liu Ruyan the Great Emperor's ample chest.

“Is your daddy doing well?” Xiao Hongdou asked worriedly.

Shu Yue, Mo Ziyun, and Liu Ruyi pricked up their ears.

Xian'er's smile disappeared, and she pursed her pink lips: “He can't eat anymore, and he's aging day by day. His whole person is filled with a sense of decline.”

Xiao Hongdou's smile was strained: “Don't worry, Senior Brother's talent is Unprecedented, and he is blessed with great fortune. From a mere mortal, he has attained the Dao of a Celestial. A mere Three Tribulations and Five Decays won't defeat him.”

“That's right!”

“Your daddy is incredibly formidable. He always plans before acting and thinks thrice before proceeding. I've never seen him lose.”

“This time, he must have made full preparations for transcending the tribulation. Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about yourself, whether you'll be beaten to a pulp by the Star God Sect's prodigies in the upcoming competition,” Liu Ruyi teased.

“Aunt Ru Yi, you underestimate me too much. I can beat ten, no, a hundred of the world's chosen ones.”

“Tsk tsk, Xian'er, don't brag, okay? If you lose, your parents will definitely spank your bottom when you go back,” Xiao Hongdou quipped.

Xian'er immediately covered her pert bottom, then realized and stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance: “Aunt Hongdou is really annoying.”

“Hahahaha!”

In the hall, clear and pleasant laughter rang out, making Xian'er blush.

“Liu Ruyan, you stay with her. I'm going to see Senior Brother,” Xiao Hongdou transmitted.

“I also want to see Senior Brother. Shu Yue, you watch her.”
