780: If we talk about ruthlessness, Emperor Ruyan is still the most ruthless.

"Senior Brother."

Xiao Hongdou and Liu Ruyan arrived together. Seeing Gu Qing lying on a rocking chair, his complexion was haggard, and his eyes were dim and lifeless.

Their hearts ached, and they bit their red lips.

In their memories, Gu Qing had always been radiant, noble, and powerful, like a deity reaching for the moon in the nine heavens.

But now, he had entered the twilight years of his life.

"Don't worry, I've taken the myriad tribulation fruit. I will eventually shed all impurities and achieve ultimate sublimation in decay."

Gu Qing smiled.

"Mmm-hmm, I believe in Senior Brother. I'm waiting for Senior Brother to marry me grandly."

Xiao Hongdou sat beside him, took Gu Qing's hand, and rubbed it against her cheek.

Gu Qing said helplessly, "When did I say I would marry you?"

"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. If Senior Brother doesn't marry me, then I'll marry Senior Brother," Xiao Hongdou said with a smile.

"Didn't you always talk about 'one lifetime, one partner'?"

"When did I say that?"

"A few years ago, it was in the chat group. Do you want me to dig up the chat logs?"

"...Hmph, I don't care, I just want Senior Brother," Xiao Hongdou snorted.

She remembered, but that was just her being stubborn at the time.

As early as when she was in the lower realm, the first time she saw Gu Qing, her heart was stirred, and she was amazed to this day.

Later, when countless excellent prodigies pursued her, she felt nothing but annoyance.

And Gu Qing remained irreplaceable in her heart.

However, as a transmigrator, her concept of monogamy was too deeply ingrained, and she had always suppressed her emotions and couldn't let go of her pride.

But after ten years of companionship, Xiao Hongdou no longer wanted to cling to her past life's notions.

"As long as Senior Brother doesn't dislike me, Hongdou is willing to accompany Senior Brother forever, with or without a proper title, it doesn't matter," Xiao Hongdou whispered, leaning against his chest.

Liu Ruyan nudged his calf, her beautiful eyes flitting about: "Once you overcome the three tribulations and five declines, I'll grant you one condition, any condition will do."

"If you... in short, you wouldn't want to see us marry others, become someone else's wife, and bear children for others, would you?"

Gu Qing: ...To speak of ruthlessness, Empress Ruyan, you are indeed ruthless.

Since things had come to this, even if he died, he would crawl out of his coffin.

Gu Qing's temples throbbed, and a surge of power rose from the bottom of his heart. He had only one belief: to live, he must live.

"Alright, you two go back and prepare well for entering the Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm."

The Starry Sacred Mother spoke.

Everything should be done in moderation; don't give Gu Qing a heart demon.

"Yes, Master!"

The two left reluctantly.

Over the past ten years, they had often fought against fellow Heaven's Chosen of their generation and cultivated in the Star Saintess' Cave Abode, their cultivation having already broken through to the sixth stage of the God Emperor realm, reaching perfection.

If they hadn't spent ninety percent of their time accompanying Gu Qing, they would probably have become Saints already.

After all, their talent was excellent, they possessed great luck, and they had the insights from the chaotic source crystals given by Gu Qing.

Becoming a Saint was not difficult for them... At the Star God Sect's combat plaza, one hundred arena formations were activated.

All disciples of the Star God Sect, including outer disciples and chore disciples, could participate in the competition for the ten spots in the Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm.

The rules of the competition were simple: win ten consecutive matches in one of the one hundred arenas to enter the top ten competition.

If one could win ten consecutive matches, they would directly secure a spot.

If one could not win ten consecutive matches, they would have one chance to challenge again.

Xian'er was the first to step onto the arena.

"Hmm? Who is this fairy?"

"Don't know her."

"Never seen her."

"No idea."

"She must be the descendant of a mighty expert; her divine abilities should not be underestimated."

"Exactly!"

The plaza was packed with people. Any disciple picked at random would be considered a prodigy in the outside world.

Seeing Xian'er, with her youthful features, being the first to step onto the arena, everyone curiously asked their companions.

For Xian'er to have broken through to the sixth stage of the God Emperor realm, reaching perfection, at such a young age, her background must be extraordinary.

It seemed that they would have one less spot out of the ten.

"Go!"

Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyi, Xiao Hongdou, Shu Yue, Mo Ziyun, and even Xia Ruanruan, who was engrossed in mining, all came out and each occupied an arena.

"Are they my Senior Sisters and Martial Aunts?"

Fang Jixuan stood below the stage, looking at the peerless women, a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Too beautiful.

Each of the women had her unique charm, with immortal grace and divine beauty, beyond compare.

Fang Jixuan suddenly regretted that he had returned too late, feeling as if he had missed something.

If he had returned earlier, built good relationships with them, and paid his respects to Gu Qing, he might have had a great opportunity.

"Dan Lao, do you think they can win in the end?" Fang Jixuan asked worriedly.

"Nonsense, don't you see who your Master is? How could his disciples be weak?" Dan Lao transmitted his voice.

Fang Jixuan was silent for a moment: "Then if they get a spot by their own strength, can I ask Master for a spot?"

Indeed, he never intended to get a spot by his own strength.

Only a little over ten years had passed. Even after cultivating in secret realms with a hundred or even a thousand times acceleration, his current cultivation was only at the mid-fifth stage.

It was simply impossible to defeat a Heaven's Chosen at the sixth stage of perfection.

One must know that the Star God Sect was a supreme great sect, possessing numerous supreme divine abilities, even more powerful than his family's inherited secret arts.

Even the great opportunities he had obtained were almost on par with the great divine abilities passed down by the Starry Sacred Mother and the Dao Scripture.

When the Dao Scripture and divine abilities were nearly on par, realm was an absolute suppression. What could he rely on to win?

"I don't know, you can try," Dan Lao said uncertainly.

If Fang Jixuan was highly regarded by Gu Qing, getting a spot would be a matter of a single word. But unfortunately, Fang Jixuan was not valued by Gu Qing at all.

He hadn't even been taught any Dao Scripture or divine abilities, nor had Gu Qing ever lectured him on the Dao.

"The Dao Extinction Forbidden Area Secret Realm is very important to me; it concerns my enlightenment. I must get a spot," Fang Jixuan clenched his fists, his eyes determined.

Dan Lao hesitated, then finally let out a sigh.

He naturally knew how important the Dao Extinction Forbidden Area Secret Realm was to Fang Jixuan, but it wasn't up to Fang Jixuan; it depended on strength.

"Hongdou, is that you, Hongdou...?"

A young man below the stage looked at Xiao Hongdou with excitement.

After countless years, he had thought they would never meet again in this life, but unexpectedly, he saw Xiao Hongdou in the Star God Sect.

"Lin Mu, what are you doing? How dare you covet Grand-Ancestor Xiao Hongdou?"

"Exactly, you mere chore disciple, how dare you call Grand-Ancestor by her name?"

The young men around Lin Mu immediately showed angry expressions, with killing intent in their eyes.

Xiao Hongdou was beautiful and refined, possessing a exquisite immortal physique, with terrifying and unparalleled talent. Moreover, she had become a disciple of the Starry Sacred Mother, destined for boundless prospects in this life.

In the future, she would at least be a Celestial.

It was impossible to become a disciple of the Starry Sacred Mother without the potential of a Celestial.

Xiao Hongdou's background could be said to be extremely noble; she was a goddess they could only dream of.

Lin Mu, a mere chore disciple, actually dared to covet Xiao Hongdou.

This was an enormous insult to Xiao Hongdou, and also a great disrespect to the entire sect.
