70: The Night Family's Scheme, a Masterful Maneuver!
Xuantian Holy Land.
Ye Family.
As the Holy Son Coronation Ceremony gradually concluded, Ye Tianlan once again summoned the members of the Ye Family.
"How is the plan you arranged progressing?"
"Don't worry, Second Ancestor."
The Ye Family Patriarch smiled confidently: "Gu Qingchen has already fallen into the trap, and he will head to the Heavenly Sword Abyss tomorrow."
"Oh?"
Ye Tianlan was slightly curious upon hearing this: "Is Gu Qingchen's vigilance that poor? He didn't notice your arrangements?"
"Haha."
Hearing the words of their Second Ancestor, the Ye Family Patriarch laughed loudly: "That brat's vigilance isn't poor, and he's quite clever. He definitely realized it was a trap immediately."
"Then why would he still step into the trap?"
Ye Tianlan frowned upon hearing this.
His personality had always been cautious; he would never knowingly walk into danger.
Therefore, he could not understand Gu Qingchen's motivation.
"This is because you, Second Ancestor, don't understand Gu Qingchen well enough."
The Grand Elder of the Ye Family also chuckled: "He appears very cautious, knowing how to hide his capabilities and develop silently, but his heart is actually extremely arrogant.
Now that he has been crowned Saint, reaching the Peak, his confidence is swelling, and the Holy Land will also give him various life-saving trump cards.
When he encounters a situation like this, he certainly won't evade it; instead, he will choose to investigate and resolve it."
"In other words, he will still go to the Heavenly Sword Abyss even knowing that the Qisha Saint Son is problematic?"
"That's right."
The Ye Family Patriarch nodded: "His choice to suppress Di Xuancang during the Coronation Ceremony was the start of cultivating an invincible momentum, allowing him to contend with the myriad races and walk the path of the Emperor."
If this momentum is established, his potential will naturally be limitless, but the risks involved will also greatly increase."
Hearing these words, Ye Tianlan nodded.
Immediately, a Clan Elder asked doubtfully: "What if this plan fails to eliminate him? Wouldn't all our scheming truly become a catalyst for him to Cultivate his invincible momentum?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
The Ye Family Patriarch smiled confidently: "This time, we leaked the news to the Seven Paths of the Demonic Sect, and Six Paths of the Demonic Sect are very interested in taking that brat's life.
With the combined assassination power of the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect, even if Old Man Han personally protects his Dao, that brat is certain to die."
"Combined assassination by the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect?"
"Haha, that is definitely a guaranteed kill."
"I can't imagine any way for him to survive."
"Unless he carries an Emperor Weapon with him, who could survive a combined assassination by the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect?"
...
All the Clan Elders of the Ye Family burst into laughter.
"Hmph! That brat caused half of our Primordial Spirits to be stripped away, leaving us constantly suffering from Primordial Spirit weakness, and even causing our cultivation levels to drop slightly. Letting him die like this is too easy on him!"
"Exactly, I wanted to kill him myself on the Heavenly Punishment Stage five years from now."
"Such a peerless Prodigy, whose Luck is flourishing, might cause unnecessary complications in five years. It's naturally better to intercept and kill him beforehand."
...
Just as the Ye Family was plotting in secret.
Gu Qingchen also followed the Linglong Saintess to Xuanling Peak.
"Brother Qingchen, hurry up and go."
The Linglong Saintess tugged on Gu Qingchen's sleeve, urging him: "Revered Master is waiting for you at the Peak."
Before she finished speaking, the flowing clouds atop Xuanling Peak suddenly emitted seventy-two colors of radiant light, and a Heavenly Ladder condensed from Star Spirit Power descended from the Nine Heavens.
Qingchen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stepped onto the Starlight Heavenly Ladder.
When he stepped past the last rung of the Heavenly Ladder, Space-Time suddenly collapsed into a vortex.
For a moment, the world spun, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in a vast, empty, and wondrous space.
Chaos surged all around, and in the very center, a Lapis Lazuli Jade Platform stood erect.
Projections of Ten Thousand Worlds hung around like beaded curtains.
A tall and exquisite figure stood upon that Lapis Lazuli Jade Platform.
"You have come."
A voice like clear springs hitting jade sounded, scattering layers of Chaos Qi.
The moment the Linglong Saint Lord turned around, countless Dao Principles submitted to her, transforming into layers of Luo Heaven Divine Rings.
Clearly, this was the manifestation of Cultivating the Exquisite Great Heaven of Luo to the extreme.
She wore a Moon Soul Cloud Pattern Gauze Dress, with a Nine Revolutions Linglong Pendant hanging from her waist. Her lapis lazuli eyes contained layered illusions of worlds.
Qingchen's pupils constricted slightly.
He had seen records of such phenomena in ancient texts.
Eyes Concealing Ten Thousand Worlds, hair connecting the Star River—this was the Exquisite Great Luo Physique, ranked among the top five on the Hundred Great Physiques List.
This was even stronger than Di Xuancang's Primordial Dao Embryo.
The former Linglong Heavenly Emperor possessed this Physique.
The Linglong Saint Lord before him had clearly developed this Physique to an extremely profound level.
Her black hair was dotted with stars, beautiful like a dream. Looking closely, they were actually individual exquisite worlds.
As her hair tips swayed, the faint sound of chanting scriptures from Gods, Demons, and Sentient Beings could be heard.
"The manifestation of this Physique indeed bears some resemblance to my Domain. Could this be why the Linglong Saint Lord wanted me to display my Domain?"
With doubts in his heart, Gu Qingchen stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Linglong Saint Lord."
The Linglong Saint Lord gently raised her pale hand, and a soft force supported Gu Qingchen's arm.
"There's no need for formality. You can just call me Youqin Yunlan."
She strolled over to Gu Qingchen. Under her feet, Chaos Qi automatically condensed into Steps of Dao, and where her skirt brushed past, billions of Chaos Lotuses bloomed.
"Youqin... Saint Lord, you want to see my Domain?"
Seeing that Gu Qingchen still addressed her as Saint Lord, Youqin Yunlan smiled faintly and didn't mind.
She nodded: "That's right. Your Domain is very peculiar and unlike anyone else's. I want to verify a conjecture I have."
"Verify a conjecture?"
Gu Qingchen raised an eyebrow slightly. Although he felt some doubt, he didn't think too deeply and immediately unleashed his Domain.
In an instant.
A comprehensive and all-encompassing Domain slowly unfolded.
Above were the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Below were the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
In the center, there was a vast, Desolate Continent.
A Heaven-Piercing Tree pierced through heaven and earth, connecting the Thirty-Three Heavens above and the Eighteen Layers of Hell below!
Dao Fruits were also forming on it.
Faintly, the illusory outline of the Six Paths of Reincarnation could be seen forming.
Clearly, after this period of Cultivation and absorbing numerous Domains, Divine Materials, and so on, Gu Qingchen's Domain had undergone a massive transformation, becoming more complete and powerful.
After unfolding his Domain, Gu Qingchen was about to speak, but he saw that the Linglong Saint Lord had actually taken out the Emperor Weapon, the exquisite myriad worlds map!
The next moment, Gu Qingchen felt that his Domain was actually resonating with the exquisite myriad worlds map!
Immediately afterward, the exquisite myriad worlds map actually rushed toward Gu Qingchen's Domain.
Gu Qingchen was startled. Just as he worried that his Domain would be completely obliterated by the lingering Emperor Might emanating from the exquisite myriad worlds map, leaving him severely wounded, he had a strange feeling.
His Domain was actually resonating with the exquisite myriad worlds map!
