137: Chapter 137 Utter Surrender!

This fact weighed on Shen Jingzhe's heart like a great mountain, leaving her unable to breathe.

If her cultivation remained stuck at the Dan Bian Realm, or if her progress remained slow, would her husband despise her?

Gu Changsheng did not respond, a thoughtful smile on his face.

He reached out and rubbed the top of her head, tucking a few loose strands of hair behind her ear.

What Shen Jingzhe did not know was that the reason her cultivation had stagnated had nothing to do with her talent.

It was because he was continuously plundering her luck value.

Her initial luck value of 50,000 had been more than half drained by him, leaving only 30,000.

With her luck value continuously being drained, her cultivation speed naturally plummeted.

More importantly, she lived on Changsheng Peak, where she had everything she wanted, and everything went smoothly for her.

The three Luck traits marked by the System... "Fortune follows misfortune," "Finding a way out of a desperate situation," "Immune to all Laws"... were all of the type that required a desperate situation to trigger.

The more smooth and stable things were, the less likely those traits would trigger.

The entire Changsheng Peak was like a comfortable cage, suppressing her Luck tightly.

Gu Changsheng looked at the girl with her head bowed in his arms, a thought flashing through his mind.

It was time to give her some benefits.

"Come."

Gu Changsheng patted her waist, signaling her to stand up.

Shen Jingzhe slid off his lap, stood to the side, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Gu Changsheng took three items out of his storage space and placed them on the table.

A fist-sized golden fruit landed on the table, its skin flowing with intricate runes, emitting a heart-palpitating spiritual power fluctuation.

A dark red Medicinal Pill, crystal clear throughout, with pill patterns spiraling like a Dragon.

Finally, there was a bottle of silvery-white liquid, the bottle cool to the touch, with spiritual mist wafting from its mouth.

Shen Jingzhe's gaze swept over the first two items and landed on that golden fruit.

Her pupils dilated sharply.

"This is... the Fruit of Creation?"

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

"You recognize it?"

Shen Jingzhe reached out her hand but pulled it back, a smile at the corners of her eyes.

"I read about it in the Scripture Records... The Fruit of Creation is one of the top ten rare treasures in the world, legend says it can recast Bloodline and reshape the Foundation of the Divine Soul!"

She swallowed, staring at the fruit radiating golden light.

"The last time the Fruit of Creation appeared was three thousand years ago, and for the sake of fighting over it, the entire Eastern Region fought until the sky turned dark and the earth turned dim!"

Gu Changsheng leaned back in his chair, his tone casual.

"It was found in the treasure vault of the Xuanhuang Immortal Mansion. There was only one, and it had been collected for who knows how many years."

Shen Jingzhe suddenly looked up at him.

"Husband, you are giving this to me?"

"If not to you, then to whom?"

Gu Changsheng pointed his chin at the other two items.

"The Medicinal Pill is the treasure of the Zifu Sword Pavilion, called the Nine-Turn Marrow Cleansing Pill. Used together with the Fruit of Creation, it can elevate your Heavenly Spiritual Root to at least the level of an Immortal Spiritual Root."

Shen Jingzhe froze in place.

"That bottle of silver liquid is the Taiyin Divine Water, used for tempering the Divine Soul." Gu Changsheng counted them off on his fingers for her.

"With all three items gathered, not only can it help you break through your realm, but it can also reshape your cultivation Physique from the roots."

Shen Jingzhe's lips were trembling.

Since coming to Changsheng Peak, there were few good things she hadn't seen.

But a rare treasure of the level of the Fruit of Creation, even for the former three Holy Lands, was a treasure kept at the very bottom of the chest.

Gu Changsheng just placed it on the table so casually, his expression indifferent.

"Husband..."

Shen Jingzhe's nose stung, and her eyes turned red.

"I am just a concubine-born daughter of a third-rank Marquis's mansion, what right do I have..."

"Enough nonsense."

Gu Changsheng stood up, picked up the Fruit of Creation, and stuffed it into her hand.

"You are no longer some concubine-born daughter of a Marquis's mansion; you are the woman of the Saint of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect."

He wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb.

"Whatever you should have, you will not lack."

Shen Jingzhe clutched the Fruit of Creation, moved to the extreme.

She looked up at the face of the man in front of her, tears of emotion falling drop by drop.

"Gu Changsheng, I am yours for this entire life."

For the first time, she didn't even use a title, calling him directly by his name.

"Whatever you tell me to do, I will do; wherever you tell me to go, I will go."

Gu Changsheng looked at her red eyes and smiled.

At that very instant, the System's electronic sound rang in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the female Child of Luck, Shen Jingzhe, has completely submitted and is willing to offer everything!]

[Luck plundering method has been converted to continuous plundering... Plundering efficiency increased to three times!]

[Successfully plundered luck value: 30,000!]

[Shen Jingzhe's current luck value: 0.]

[Child of Luck template has been stripped!]

Gu Changsheng's smile did not change, but a glimmer flashed in the depths of his eyes.

luck value returned to zero, template stripped.

From this day forward, this girl was no longer a Child of Luck chosen by the Heavenly Dao.

However, due to the uniqueness of her Physique, she could continuously generate luck value.

Eventually becoming a perpetual motion machine of Luck who was devoted to him!

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the third phase of the main mission... Controlling the New Star!]

[Mission rewards are being distributed...]

[Taixu Chaos Divine Bone second phase, successfully unlocked!]

Gu Changsheng's bones emitted a subtle cracking sound at that instant.

A scorching power surged from the depths of his bone marrow, spreading along his skeleton to every part of his body.

A dark golden pattern emerged on the back of his right hand, twisting and spreading, shaped like a Flood Dragon.

The Divine Ability awakened by the second phase of the Taixu Chaos Divine Bone... Chaos Devour.

It could devour any attack, Law, or even Dao Domain, converting it into his own power.

Indestructible, insatiable.

Gu Changsheng clenched his fist, and an astonishing feedback of power came from his bones.

If this Divine Ability were revealed in actual combat, even an attack from the Myriad Laws Realm hitting him would only make him stronger.

Before he could finish digesting this power, the System's voice rang again.

[Given that the Host has for the first time made a Child of Luck (female) completely submit, a special reward of a killing supreme treasure is granted...]

[God-Slaying Killing Sword Formation!]

[This Formation is composed of one hundred and eight Killing Divine Swords. When the Formation is formed, it can slay Cultivators of the same rank and severely injure experts of a higher rank.]

[The Formation has been engraved into the Host's Divine Soul and can be activated at any time.]

Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

God-Slaying Killing Sword Formation.

One hundred and eight Killing Divine Swords.

He reached out his hand, and a crimson miniature sword about an inch long condensed in his palm.

The small sword hummed, and the runes engraved on the blade glowed with a blood-red light.

Killing intent traveled from his fingertips to his heart, then bounced back from his heart.

Gu Changsheng retracted the small sword into his palm and turned to look at Shen Jingzhe, who was still wiping her tears.

"Finished crying?"

Shen Jingzhe nodded vigorously, sniffling.

"Finished crying."

"Then go Cultivate." Gu Changsheng patted her head.

"I will have Gu Yi write down the order and method for taking the three items and send them to you."

Shen Jingzhe hugged the Fruit of Creation, walking out of the hall while looking back every few steps.

When she reached the door, she stopped again.

"Husband."

"Hmm?"

"That Su Qingyue from the Cold Moon Palace... she is very beautiful."

Gu Changsheng's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused for a moment.

Shen Jingzhe didn't wait for his answer, turned around, and ran off.

Gu Changsheng watched her back disappear at the hall entrance and put down the teacup.

"She sure is quick to get jealous."
