Chapter 340 Gu Qing is not going to be this big grudge.
Chapter 340 Gu Qing is not going to be this big grudge.
Gu Qing finally understood why the Immortal King of Light insisted that he marry Xi Ling.
This is to get him to stop Xi Ling from refining Eternity.
However, judging from Xi Ling's appearance, she clearly has no intention of giving up the idea of refining eternity.
"That's fine too..." Gu Qing thought to himself.
Once Xi Ling refines the heavens and earth, he can bask in the benefits and reap the rewards without lifting a finger. Getting something for free is always the best thing.
If Xi Ling encounters danger, his Creation Azure Lotus Cauldron will be enough to protect her.
Thinking it over, Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and glanced at the gate to the starry sky.
Seeing that You Kui was observing Tianjiao, it was clear that he was about to take him as a disciple.
"It seems You Kui is very determined to develop the Starry Sky Daoist lineage," Gu Qing thought to himself.
You Kui's idea was exactly what he wanted, since the Boundless Divine Sect was really short of people, and he also hoped that the Starry Sky Daoist lineage would be carried forward.
However, some things still need to be made clear.
He absolutely could not allow his disciples to be a group of selfish, self-serving insects who had no sense of belonging to the sect.
Outside the Star Gate.
It has gathered countless geniuses.
In addition, there are many other powerful and mysterious deities.
Since the Great Demon appeared out of nowhere and forcefully refined a Celestial King, the Boundless Divine Sect has had enough power to protect itself.
Therefore, they could no longer sit still.
For ten years, I have been guarding the gate to the stars.
Those who wish to join the Boundless Divine Cult and become among its first followers will enjoy great fortune.
The inheritance of the Starry Sky Dao Sect and Gu Qing's inheritance were both highly coveted by them.
Furthermore, as everyone knows, the Starry Sky Dao Sect has plenty of resources, including immortal sources that can be used at will and countless cultivation treasures.
If one breaks through to the Profound God realm, one can even receive a share of the Dao Fruit.
Therefore, joining the Boundless Divine Cult is like ascending to heaven in one step.
If one could become Gu Qing's disciple and cultivate the boundless Daoist arts, that would be a great fortune, and the path to the Great Dao would be within reach.
"Ten years have passed."
"Why is the Boundless Divine Cult not accepting disciples after the Great Purge?"
"Don't they need disciples?"
The crowd gathered in small groups, their faces filled with melancholy.
I don't understand what Gu Qing is doing.
Logically speaking, the Boundless Divine Cult should be rebuilding from scratch and recruiting a large number of followers, offering substantial rewards to win people's hearts.
Some exceptionally talented individuals have already decided to become Gu Qing's disciples.
But as they waited, the Boundless Divine Cult remained completely silent.
The crowd looked rather grim.
They were all exceptional talents, the center of attention, yet they were directly turned away.
They seemed like insignificant underlings.
"Let's go. The Boundless Divine Sect looks down on us so much, we're better off without them."
Some people are tired of waiting; if they keep waiting like this, they don't know when it will end.
It would be better to go back and cultivate properly.
It's not too late for him to come and become a disciple when the Boundless Divine Sect accepts new disciples.
Of course, some people left, while others remained unmoved, sitting cross-legged in the void, meditating silently, like a rock.
They felt that this might be a test from the Boundless God Cult.
As long as I can join the Boundless Divine Sect, it would be worth it even if I had to wait for ten thousand years, let alone ten.
"He is restless and superficial, all show and no substance."
You Kui, hiding in the void, shook his head as he watched the prodigy he desired leave without hesitation.
Continue to observe other outstanding talents.
Although he wanted to take on many disciples, he didn't just accept any cat or dog.
He would carefully examine talent, temperament, and character.
Once bitten, twice shy.
He doesn't want another Cheng Yang to emerge.
"Elder You Kui, which prodigy have you taken a fancy to?"
Gu Qing suddenly appeared beside him and asked in a calm voice.
You Kui was startled when he heard Gu Qing's voice.
Gu Qing had arrived beside him silently; if she were an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It seems the strongest Xuan God is really about to change hands.
You Kui's face was full of bitterness: "We're still observing."
Gu Qing nodded slightly and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. I also hope that the Starry Sky Daoist lineage will be carried forward, but I would rather have none than something of poor quality."
"Rest assured, Master, I will carefully examine his character," You Kui said solemnly.
"Not enough!" Gu Qing shook his head.
"What does the cult leader mean?" You Kui asked, looking puzzled.
"They also need to have a sense of belonging and a clean background," Gu Qing stated her requirements.
“This…” You Kui looked at him, then at the genius below.
Character and a sense of belonging are easy to discuss.
Among so many talented individuals, there must be quite a few with upright character.
As for a sense of belonging, after living together for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, what need is there for a sense of belonging?
But having a clean background immediately eliminates all chances.
Because these prodigies almost all come from prominent families or sects.
They all came before they were apprentices, and they already had some skills.
Speaking of this, we must mention the rules of the Immortal Realm.
Betraying one's sect is a major taboo.
However, if the sect agrees, then there will be no problem at all.
The sect wouldn't hold it against them.
Because the difference between the geniuses of sects and the geniuses of families is not that great.
Some families, though seemingly just families, are in fact super-empires with hundreds of millions of members and their own core traditions.
"Do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?" Gu Qing asked.
"I wouldn't dare!" You Kui said, but that was what he really thought.
After all, where can you find a prodigy with a clean background?
You should know that every prodigy is nurtured from a young age, sometimes even from the womb.
Moreover, if you want to cultivate, you need a cultivation method and guidance from a famous master, right?
Do you know what they're thinking?
Gu Qing asked another question, and before he could answer, she continued, "They must be thinking of becoming my master, or my master, or Jiang Yu and you, to cultivate the supreme Dao, use the sect's resources to become stronger, use the sect to make a name for themselves, prove the Dao and transcend, and live a long and carefree life."
"But in order to pass on our legacy and to cultivate strong individuals, we have no choice but to take whatever we want from them."
You Kui fell silent.
"Don't you think there's no problem with this?"
"Who doesn't want that?" Gu Qing continued to ask.
You Kui nodded silently.
This is something we both know, but we just don't say it out loud.
"That's certainly true. That's how all sects in the world operate. The strong are respected, and the weak are preyed upon by the strong. Sects need strong individuals, and everything is for the purpose of cultivating them. But..."
Gu Qing paused for a moment: "But now that I've become the leader, I won't be supporting a bunch of patriarchs."
"How should the Starry Sky Daoist lineage be passed down?" You Kui asked in a deep voice.
"Simple."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "I plan to open the Starry Sky Academy and recruit many disciples. Tuition fees will be charged. Each student will have to pay at least 10,000 immortal crystals per month. All cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and secret arts will be clearly priced."
He wanted to teach these arrogant geniuses a lesson: stop thinking about all the good things and expecting them to take all the credit for themselves.
The sect took care of all the dirty and strenuous work.
Gu Qing is not one to be such a vengeful person.
So let these geniuses experience the joy of being a corporate slave.
You Kui: "..."
You Kui opened his mouth, looking bewildered and confused.
They want to preach and teach, but they expect others to pay tuition. This is something only a heretical sect would do, right?
So, is their Boundless God Cult a demonic sect?
"Just do it."
Gu Qing made the final decision: "In that case, you will spread the Dao, I will make money, and the sect will be short of manpower. We can also issue missions to them. It's a win-win situation, and everyone will be happy."
You Kui's lips twitched. It seems like only you are happy, right?
Don't take me with you.
Looking at the spirited Gu Qing, You Kui had a complicated expression and hesitated to speak.
Who would have thought that Gu Qing, whose aura was so domineering and whose destiny was to become a god-king, would be this kind of person?
You Kui organized his thoughts and said, "If you do this, how can the sect cultivate strong individuals? How can it pass on its torch?"
