834: The Qin Dynasty forced Xian'er to marry

“Forget it. The Great Dao is fifty, one of which escapes, leaving a glimmer of hope for all living beings.”

The Starry Sacred Mother paused, as if sensing something, and did not pursue.

Gu Qing didn’t care; he rather admired how decisive this Five Elements Chaos Source Beast was.

As for what it said, Gu Qing completely dismissed it as nonsense.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Qing siphoned off one-third of the Five Elements Chaos Source Beast's blood, swallowing it whole into his belly to seal and slowly refine.

The Starry Sacred Mother took another third, leaving the rest for Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.

“Xuan Mei, I’ll lend you the Five Chaos Spirit Pearls and its innate Dao Bone for now to comprehend.”

“Thank you, Yu Xi!”

Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman said happily.

Yu Xi still doted on her, as expected.

The Starry Sacred Mother stroked her head, looked at the vast, boundless corpse, pondered for a moment, and asked, “Do you still lack magic treasures, disciple?”

“No, I don’t.” Gu Qing shook his head.

The Creation Green Lotus and the Hongmeng Immeasurable Tower served both offense, defense, and support. He also had several ultimate killing treasures, so he didn’t even look at ordinary magic treasures.

Having too many magic treasures that couldn’t be utilized was just a burden.

However, this didn’t diminish the fact that the Five Elements Chaos Source Beast’s corpse was an ultimate treasure.

If he didn't need it, he could give it to his women and Xian’er to use.

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: “Master, can we refine it into a blood pool?”

“What kind of blood pool?”

There were many types of blood pools; the most common melted the blood of myriad spirits.

If it were that kind of blood pool, its value would be minimal, even a waste of resources.

It would be better to eat the meat and refine the bones into magic treasures.

“A Creation Blood Pool!”

Gu Qing’s eyes shone: “Its corpse and bones are very complete, and it possesses the Five Elements mutually generating Dao Bone. If combined with Master’s Great Dao of Creation, perhaps we could refine a Creation Blood Pool that can continuously generate dao blood.”

Refining the bones into magic treasures, or separating them, wouldn’t maximize their use.

Refining them into a Creation Blood Pool was different.

Once successful, it could continuously generate myriad dao blood containing the power of the Chaos Dao Lord level.

Although it couldn’t compare to the original blood of the Five Elements Chaos Source Beast, the advantage was that it would be inexhaustible.

Moreover, the Creation Blood Pool would also be a treasure land for comprehending the Dao.

“Good idea.”

After hearing Gu Qing’s request, the Starry Sacred Mother had an idea and quickly began to deduce the refining method.

Gu Qing wasn’t idle either, using Chaotic Immeasurable to deduce and cross-referencing with the Starry Sacred Mother’s refining method.

Soon, they obtained the perfect method for refining the Creation Blood Pool… In the Boundless Space, the two worked together for ten Yuanhui to refine the Creation Blood Pool they had deduced.

Without needing to devour any energy, the Creation Blood Pool could generate one drop of dao blood every day.

And it was random; it might be dao blood without any attributes.

Or it might be dao blood containing the power of the Five Elements laws, Yin-Yang, space-time, wind, and thunder…

Original dao blood without attributes was certainly not as good as dao blood containing the power of laws.

Gu Qing also wanted to refine dao blood that could generate various types of dao blood containing the power of laws, but his creation was insufficient.

Creation itself was an immeasurable Variable.

It was precisely because of the mystery of creation that it could continuously generate dao blood.

Being able to refine it was already very good; Gu Qing didn't dare to ask for too much.

“Disciple, what do you plan to do with the leftover bones, teeth, and fur?”

“Master, you can decide; I don’t need them.”

“Hmm~ The skull can be refined into a defensive magic treasure for Xian’er, the fur into an immortal dress for Xian’er, the hair into an immortal-binding rope for Xian’er, and the teeth into a sword array for Xian’er. What do you think?”

“…”

Everything was clearly arranged by the Starry Sacred Mother; what else could Gu Qing say?

He could only open the furnace again to refine magic treasures.

The two used secret techniques, refining magic treasures while cultivating and refining the blood and chaotic source crystals of the Five Elements Chaos Source Beast.

Their magic power and physique surged several times over.

Gu Qing’s dao body origin had evolved to perfection, with a subtle feeling of being full to the brim, a sign that he was about to break through.

After all the magic treasures were refined, Gu Qing said, “Master, I want to go to the Dao Comprehension Platform in Chaos City to break through to Chaos Dao Lord.”

“This…”

“Disciple, you don’t know that each person can only step onto the Dao Inquiring Steps of the Dao Comprehension Platform once in their life. If you use it now, you won’t have the chance to use the Dao Comprehension Platform to break through to Dao Master later.”

The Starry Sacred Mother explained.

The Dao Inquiring Steps of the Dao Comprehension Platform not only depended on fate, only those with fate could touch them, and each person only had one chance.

She now somewhat regretted having ascended the Dao Inquiring Steps too early.

“Isn’t this the same as Master’s Starlight Avenue?”

“Exactly!”

The Starry Sacred Mother nodded slightly and said, “Actually, with disciple’s talent, there’s no need to rely on the Dao Inquiring Steps to break through. Entering Chaos City to comprehend the Dao of Chaos will surely lead to a breakthrough.”

“I know, but that would take too much time. Never mind, I’ll go back to the Boundless Divine Sect to break through.”

“That works too!”

Having been away for so many years, she also missed Xian’er dearly.

Without her supervision, who knew what kind of mischief that girl had gotten into… In the main hall of the Boundless Divine Sect, a somber atmosphere hung heavy.

“Mother, why don’t you let me marry?”

Xian’er tugged at Zhi Meng’s sleeve, timidly asking.

“Nonsense.”

Zhi Meng scolded, her willow-like brows furrowed.

Gu Qing loved Xian’er so much; if he returned from cultivation and found out his daughter had married, wouldn't he turn the world upside down?

Besides, even if not for Gu Qing, she wouldn’t let Xian’er enter into a political marriage.

“But… but…”

“No buts.” Zhi Meng forcefully interrupted her, her eyes flashing with cold light, a surge of killing intent in her heart.

Her daughter hadn’t even matured yet, still a little girl who understood nothing, yet she was being forced into a political marriage. It was hard for her not to be furious.

“Yes, Xian’er, don’t overthink it. Our Divine Sect is united, and we never fear any threats.”

“Everything we have today is bestowed by the Sect Master. Even if it costs us our lives, we won’t let the Great Qin scoundrels succeed.”

“Xian’er, just focus on your cultivation. Leave these matters to us.”

“Perhaps we’ll be able to contact the Sect Master and Ancestor soon.”

“…”

Seeing everyone bravely defending her, Xian’er felt even worse.

“But many of our disciples who went out for training have been captured by the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, including Aunt Su and Aunt Bai. Moreover, the main gate of the Boundless Divine Sect is surrounded by the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. If I don’t marry, then…”

She couldn’t continue, her resolve to marry becoming even stronger.

Being surrounded wasn’t terrifying; their Divine Sect didn't lack resources.

But in three more days, if they didn’t surrender or agree to the marriage, they would be executed.

Xian’er couldn’t just stand by and watch them die, their souls annihilated.

As for summoning Gu Qing and the Starry Sacred Mother, they had already tried, but there had been no response.

It wasn’t hard to guess that the two must have traveled far into the Boundless Chaos and couldn't be sensed at all.

Besides, would calling Gu Qing and the Starry Sacred Mother back truly be useful?

That Emperor Qin Zheng of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty had already proven his Chaos Dao Fruit, reaching the fifth-level Dao Lord realm.

Moreover, within his Immortal Dynasty, he could mobilize the power of all living beings’ faith.

And Qin Zheng possessed many Chaotic Spiritual Treasures. Even the veteran Chaos Dao Lord Qi Xiangyi couldn’t do anything to Qin Zheng.

The reason the Boundless Divine Sect was still safe was because of the protection of the Thirty-Six Chaos Divine Thunder Array and Qi Xiangyi’s presence.

But that had only temporarily repelled Qin Zheng. Once Qin Zheng incorporated this Limitless Mountain Range into his imperial territory,

if the great array were to be broken, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it certainly wouldn't be resolved by marriage or submission.

“No means no.”

Zhi Meng’s face was ashen, her eyes fiercely staring at Xian’er, and she transmitted, “Xian’er, every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him. If they die, we will naturally avenge them. Sacrificing yourself for others, how foolish is that?”

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Xian’er’s eyes.

Zhi Meng could be so heartless, but she couldn’t.

Su Qingyue and Bai Suying had always doted on her like their own daughter, and there were so many sisters who loved her. She couldn’t remain indifferent.
