178: Chapter 178 He…how could he…be like this?

Yinshen Jade suddenly realized something.

She pinched Li Qing's arm hard, twisting it half a circle, then quickly ran behind him to massage his shoulders.

Li Qing: "..."

"Pfft."

Just then, nearby, Gong Suyun opened her sandalwood lips and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"This bastard. He knew I was healing."

Gong Suyun glared fiercely at Li Qing.

Li Qing looked bewildered at being glared at.

"Husband, she has left."

Yinshen Jade's voice, clear as silver bells, rang out.

Li Qing glanced up; indeed, the figure of Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was no longer on that mountain peak.

"This place isn't safe for healing; should we change locations?" Li Qing thought for a moment and said.

"What are you afraid of? With a Quasi-Saint like you guarding us, even the Immortal Palace wouldn't dare act rashly."

Gong Suyun shot Li Qing a fierce look before continuing her healing.

A few days later. In the valley.

Gong Suyun looked at Li Qing in silence. After a long while, she said softly, "I am leaving. Will you come with me?"

"No, the Immortal Realm is so vast; I want to see it." Li Qing shook his head.

[Your Ten Thousand Immortal Sect is a huge pit in the early stages, with endless fighting every day. I'm not going there.]

[This Young Master practices cultivation to enjoy life, not to fight.]

[The next plot point is at the Immortal Palace; I plan to sneak in and watch the show.]

What? He wants to go to the Immortal Palace.

This bastard.

Are you going to watch the show or to see Immortal Emperor Yaoxi?

Gong Suyun bit her lip slightly.

"If you're not going, then don't."

"I don't care anyway."

"Pah."

"Pervert."

Gong Suyun turned around, flicked her long sleeves, and flew away.

[No, how is this slandering my innocence?]

[How am I a pervert?]

Li Qing was so angry.

"We're leaving too."

Li Qing flew away huffily.

Yinshen Jade covered her small mouth, giggling as she followed behind.

Three days later. The Immortal Palace.

Near an Immortal Domain that resembled a Divine Kingdom, Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back, watching the endless divine light within.

"Husband, I am very familiar with the Immortal Palace; I know everything that happens inside." Yinshen Jade blinked at Li Qing.

During her endless years of exile, Yinshen Jade had wandered the Immortal Realm, visiting every place—even the so-called Forbidden Grounds, she came and went as she pleased.

Nothing could hurt her, and she couldn't hurt anyone either.

"Is that so? I want to become a Disciple of the Immortal Palace; is it difficult?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

"Of course not. Come with me, Husband." Yinshen Jade waved at Li Qing, and he quickly followed.

Not long after, he followed Yinshen Jade into an inconspicuous palace on the outskirts of the Divine Kingdom.

When he emerged, he was wearing the attire of a high-ranking Disciple of the Immortal Palace.

Yinshen Jade had used a small trick to successfully make Li Qing a high-ranking Disciple of the Immortal Palace.

It was authentic.

The Ranks of Immortal Palace Disciples were divided into lower, middle, and upper, with even higher Ranks above that, like a heavenly ladder—the hierarchy was strict.

"A high-ranking Disciple is enough for watching the show; that's fine."

Li Qing swaggered into the Immortal Palace's Divine Kingdom.

"Hum."

A brilliant immortal light shot up into the sky within the Divine Kingdom, and a giant red Demon Lotus bloomed with endless immortal light.

On a huge floating platform, Li Qing stood with his arms crossed, watching the Immortal Palace Disciples sparring in the arena.

One of them was an old acquaintance, Gu Beichen.

"This is... the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon..."

"This is the Origin of the Dao..."

"A peerless Prodigy..."

The countless Immortal Palace Disciples watching nearby were in an uproar.

Gu Beichen looked at his opponent in the arena with a look of disdain.

[Tsk tsk, it's time for Gu Beichen, that dog, to show off again.]

[Too bad it's inconvenient for This Young Master to make a move, otherwise I'd beat you to death.]

This inner voice.

He had come.

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi, who was sitting high on a nearby cloud watching the battle, showed a trace of astonishment.

Her gaze swept over and landed on Li Qing.

How did he come to the Immortal Palace?

A Quasi-Saint entering the Divine Kingdom.

The Divine Kingdom actually didn't sound an alarm.

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi frowned slightly.

How could she know that Li Qing was only a mere Heavenly Immortal.

Furthermore, he was a genuine Disciple of the Immortal Palace.

Naturally, the Divine Kingdom could not detect any abnormalities.

[The System just prompted that the gossip-watching has begun. That means the troublemakers are about to make their move.]

[I need to retreat further away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.]

Li Qing quickly flew away from the platform.

What does that mean?

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was stunned.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect the Immortal Palace to recruit a Disciple with the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon this time."

"If you kill him, you'll be very heartbroken, right?"

A sinister laugh rang out abruptly.

"Not good."

The five Immortal Emperors watching from the sky nearby were greatly alarmed.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

Suddenly, dozens of Immortal Palace Disciples near the platform exploded directly, and countless black lights flew out, merging into the bodies of the nearby Immortal Palace Disciples.

These Disciples instantly had their consciousness taken over and swarmed toward Gu Beichen to kill him.

"It's the God-Seizing Light of the Devil Emperor of Immortal Suppression."

A cry of alarm rang out in the sky.

"Great Luo God-Suppressing Curse."

At this moment, sounds of immortals rang out in the sky, and endless golden dao markings surged out, beginning to suppress the black light.

Li Qing stood on the roof of a palace, watching with his hands behind his back.

[What a pity, this move won't kill Gu Beichen, and it will even make him famous in one battle.]

Famous in one battle?

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was stunned.

Yinshen Jade stood behind Li Qing, massaging his shoulders while watching the show.

She was very happy now.

Finally, she wasn't watching the show alone.

Yinshen Jade finally had someone to keep her company.

She must cherish this man well.

"Mere ants, you want to kill me?"

Gu Beichen looked disdainful. With a thought, the Purifying World Red Lotus spun, and a wave of Purifying Immortal Light surged out. With just one sweep, the Disciples who were besieging him immediately woke up.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, Gu Beichen spat out a mouthful of blood without warning.

"Damn Contamination-Purity Conflict."

"Damn Nine Nether Fox."

"Damn Li Qing."

Gu Beichen's eyes were filled with monstrous hatred.

Every time he was showing off, this would suddenly happen; anyone would find it unbearable.

"I don't believe the Immortal Realm can't solve that drop of tainted blood." Gu Beichen gritted his teeth.

"This light... can purify devils."

Several Immortal Emperors were stunned.

Only Immortal Emperor Yaoxi watched with a cold expression.

Because she already knew that this Disciple in the arena was that so-called Gu Beichen.

"I'm afraid it's more than that; this light is the Purifying World Immortal Light."

A middle-aged Immortal Emperor stroked his beard and said.

"This child has a fated connection with me."

The middle-aged Immortal Emperor took a step and appeared in front of Gu Beichen.

"Pah, shameless."

"This child clearly has a fated connection with me."

The other Immortal Emperors' expressions changed, and they all appeared in front of Gu Beichen.

The famous scene of fighting over a Disciple had begun.

However, facing the olive branches extended by these Immortal Emperors, he looked at Immortal Emperor Yaoxi, who had not moved.

His goal was to become the Disciple of Immortal Emperor Yaoxi and, by the way, get his hands on her.

An Immortal Emperor wife—just thinking about it was exciting.

[Boring. Already achieved Immortal Ascension, yet still becoming someone's Disciple.]

[I'd better go to the other side of the Divine Kingdom; the good show there should be starting soon.]

Li Qing took a step and disappeared.

However, when he appeared near another complex of palaces, a voice like heavenly music suddenly rang in his ears.

"This Senior, coming to the Immortal Palace as a guest without telling Yaoxi in advance, so that Yaoxi could fulfill her duties as a host."

Li Qing raised his eyes and swept them over.

Not far away, Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was like an orchid in an empty valley, standing in the wind.

Her flawless face was in harmony with the Dao, and her bare jade feet emitted a crystalline luster in the immortal light.

Her exquisite facial features and exquisite figure formed a perfect three-dimensional sense—she was breathtakingly beautiful.

[These feet are glowing.]

He... how is he... like this?
