Chapter 275 Slaughtering all the prodigies to help Chu Yao complete the sacred ceremony
"what is going on?"
How could things have come to this?
On the flying boat, the Grand Elder and Elder Yan were both shocked and furious as they watched the life tablets of Pu Jianfei and the other three true disciples shatter one after another.
The Starry Sky Dao Sect spent countless rare and precious materials to cultivate its true disciples, all of whom were potential Xuan Gods. Now, four of them have died at once.
Even for a behemoth like the Starry Sky Dao Sect, the losses were enormous, enough to make them grieve for many years to come.
"Could they have encountered a swarm of Void Venomous Bees?"
"impossible."
"Three of them entered with Gu Qing. If we were to encounter them, a single secret treasure would be enough to kill them."
“Pu Jianfei entered with Xingyue Xiling, but Xingyue is still alive and well.”
The Grand Elder's expression shifted unpredictably.
They had made all the necessary arrangements before entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
The one-time use secret treasure prepared for the Xuan Shen strike is to deal with unexpected changes.
He suspected that Gu Qing possessed a secret treasure given to him by You Kui, which was why he dared to enter the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm with such impunity.
So he received four items from the sect and distributed them to four true disciples, not believing that You Kui had also given Gu Qing four items.
After all, the secret treasures that seal the divine powers of the Xuan God are extremely difficult to refine, and the materials required are even more difficult to find in the world. It is impossible for You Kui to have four of them.
As for refining it using the source material, that's impossible.
No one in the world would be foolish enough to risk regressing in cultivation level and destroying their foundation to refine it.
Even if they did exist, they could only forge one or two pieces at most.
As for Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu, they have only ascended to immortality a few hundred years ago, and their foundations are probably not yet stable, so it is absolutely impossible for them to have any secret treasures.
Therefore, the Grand Elder believed that the four one-time use treasures were enough to capture Gu Qing.
Once the four of them have used up Gu Qing's secret treasure, the matter will be almost certain.
Murder and soul search—easily dealt with Gu Qing.
But now, all four people who possessed the secret treasure have perished.
"I think the three of them might not have fully understood the power of the secret treasure. They suddenly encountered a swarm of Void Poison Bees and were unable to escape. In desperation, they used the secret treasure, which resulted in them blowing themselves up as well."
The Holy Son of Yaoguang shared his guess, and after he finished speaking, he felt that the matter was most likely true.
After all, they perished so quickly, while Gu Qing's life tablet was still intact.
If it wasn't a swarm of Void Venomous Bees, then what could it be?
Surely it couldn't be that Gu Qing launched a sneak attack using a secret treasure first, could it?
That's even more impossible.
The three of them had Gu Qing's tracking marks, so it was impossible for them to be ambushed.
The elder's old face twitched.
Clearly, he accepted this explanation.
In an instant, he was filled with rage and cursed the three men as worthless, saying they had ruined him.
As for Pu Jianfei's death...
All three of them wisely refrained from mentioning it.
They knew Xingyue's personality all too well.
It was common knowledge that Pu Jianfei loved stars and the moon.
It must have been Pu Jianfei who got entangled with Xingyue and got killed.
Xingyue is absolutely capable of doing something like that.
"Elder Yan, send a message to the other disciples to find Gu Qing and attack him together."
The Holy Son of Yaoguang, believing he had figured out the reason, immediately said in a cold voice.
He didn't believe that more than ninety geniuses at the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm couldn't kill Gu Qing.
Even if Gu Qing truly possessed the qualities of an immortal emperor, he would still perish here.
Elder Yan nodded, indicating that he was prepared to do the same even without the Holy Son of Yao Guang's prompting.
What about Xingyue?
The Grand Elder suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed intently on the Holy Son of Yao Guang.
He was undoubtedly very satisfied with the Holy Son of Yaoguang; the Holy Son's temperament and talent far exceeded his expectations.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that the Holy Son of Yaoguang has terrible luck with women.
They created so many opportunities, yet they still couldn't win over Xingyue and Xiling.
This made the Grand Elder feel extremely frustrated, and he sighed inwardly that no one is perfect.
"Leave her alone."
Elder Yan interrupted, his face grim.
Like her master Wangyue, Xingyue was born rebellious, unruly, and always did things her own way.
If you try to reason with them, they'll become more rebellious. If you push them too far, they'll just do the opposite of what you say.
Now he is very suspicious that he said something he shouldn't have, which led to Xingyue openly getting entangled with Gu Qing.
"Tell Pu Jianfei's master and family that it was Gu Qing who did it," Yao Guang Holy Son said calmly.
He really liked Xingyue's rebellious spirit, and one day he would tame Xingyue's pride.
"Well, that's all we can do."
The elder sighed.
There absolutely cannot be any problems within the Starry Sky Dao Sect.
He had already received news that Zhi Meng, Jiang Yu, and You Kui were all opening their mountain gates to recruit disciples and powerful individuals, the meaning of which was self-evident.
A civil war was inevitable.
If Mochizuki were to rebel at this point, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Besides, Pu Jianfei is already dead; a dead man isn't worth them falling out with Wangyue.
"Bang bang bang!"
Inside the Starlight Tower, a cracking sound rang out, and in an instant, all the life tablets shattered.
Only the life tablets of Gu Qing, Chu Yao, and Xing Yue remained intact.
"This……"
"Gu Qing, it was definitely Gu Qing who did it."
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they were trembling with rage.
If it's possible that the three true disciples of the Sequence were killed by their own explosions, then these people absolutely could not have done so.
He was definitely killed by Gu Qing's bomb.
Ninety-six people.
The ninety-six prodigies they had cultivated over thousands of years and at countless costs were wiped out by Gu Qing in one fell swoop.
This has severely damaged the foundation of the Starry Sky Dao Sect.
The two grew increasingly furious, and a sense of panic also rose within them.
It should be noted that these people are basically disciples of the Mystic God.
How should they explain this to the Xuan Shen within their sect?
The Holy Son of Yao Guang's calm expression cracked, and he said coldly, "I'll go kill him."
"No."
The elder hurriedly stopped him.
Although he firmly believed that the Holy Son of Yaoguang could definitely kill Gu Qing, who knew if Gu Qing still had any one-time-use treasures in his possession?
No matter how powerful the Holy Son of Yaoguang is, he is no match for the Mysterious God.
No celestial being could withstand the pressure of the Mysterious God, let alone possess any supernatural powers.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang's expression changed several times. On the surface, he listened to the Grand Elder's advice, but in his heart, he was determined to get rid of Gu Qing.
He wasn't without one-time-use treasures.
In the void of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
A ferocious and terrifying black dragon stretched across the void, devouring the cursed prodigies one by one with a crunchy sound.
These prodigies, though powerful, were no match for the Calamity Black Dragon; they were like dragons compared to ants, utterly powerless to resist.
Gu Qing's gaze was cold as he looked at the terrified and pleading crowd, his heart unmoved. He thought to himself, "Killing all these people will make it much easier for Master and Jiang Yu to train their disciples."
Chu Yao's pupils dilated in shock, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
This was the first time she had ever seen the Black Dragon of Calamity.
Although the Black Dragon of Calamity had concealed its aura, just looking at it filled her with immense terror.
It was as if she were facing an existence she could not look directly at, making her soul tremble.
Chu Yao was absolutely certain that if she were facing the Calamity Black Dragon, even with the supreme techniques taught by Jiang Yu, and even though she had already transformed into a Primordial Being, she would still be powerless to resist.
Gu Qing put away the Calamity Black Dragon and began excitedly looting the corpse.
Anyone who has ever killed someone knows that killing someone without touching the body is the same as not killing them at all.
Gu Qing opened each storage ring with obvious delight.
These people are simply too rich.
There are countless magical treasures and elixirs.
Although there wasn't a single immortal crystal, there was an even more precious immortal source, an astonishing amount.
Even the smallest amount has over a million catties of immortal essence.
It should be noted that many Celestial Realm experts in the outside world primarily use Immortal Crystals.
Even many Xuan Shen cultivators only use a small amount of immortal energy to assist their cultivation.
Immortal Source is extremely rare and precious, and the Immortal Source mines are all monopolized by powerful forces.
Even if an unclaimed immortal source vein is discovered, it will be forcibly seized by powerful forces.
This resulted in many powerful but helpless cultivators lacking sufficient resources for cultivation.
To obtain the Immortal Source, one must join a powerful force, grow stronger together, and create a glorious future.
"What a flock of fat sheep!"
These prodigies are all of extraordinary status and use top-tier resources.
The magical artifacts are all divine artifacts, and the finest among them.
There are also quite a few mystical artifacts.
Seeing Gu Qing's delighted expression, Chu Yao swallowed all her curiosity and casually helped organize the vast amount of resources.
"They say murder and arson bring wealth and power. I didn't believe it before, thinking that doing business was the most profitable thing. But now, I believe it."
"No."
Gu Qing only accepted the Immortal Source, leaving the remaining treasures to Chu Yao to handle.
Chu Yao patted her plump chest and immediately promised to make the best use of these treasures.
To be honest, although these treasures were of high quality, they were of little help to the two of them.
Gu Qing goes without saying.
Chu Yao herself also possessed several magical treasures bestowed upon her by Jiang Yu, which were countless times better than these other magical treasures.
Chu Yao angrily put away her storage ring.
"The old bastards of the Starry Sky Dao Sect are too despicable; they actually sent all of them to deal with you."
"Fortunately, we had the markings as bait, which turned the tables on them."
Gu Qing remained calm upon hearing this.
With over ninety late-stage Celestial Realm prodigies, the lineup is indeed terrifying.
But even without the Black Dragon of Calamity, these people couldn't do anything to him.
With the Myriad Transformations Star Shadow and Starlight Escape, no matter how many people the opponent has, they can only be beaten.
"The Starry Sky Dao Sect is so ruthless, it's definitely not just because of your talent, I think it's more for the inheritance you possess."
"They certainly won't let this go."
Chu Yao said with a worried expression.
Gu Qing nodded and smiled, "Don't worry unnecessarily. Your master and I have already planned everything. If all goes well, we'll settle accounts with them once we come out of the secret realm."
Recruiting strong individuals and training disciples takes time.
Once Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu have trained their personnel, it will be time to set things right.
For the next ten years, he could simply stay in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm and cultivate in peace.
He won't conduct the cleanup until he has the necessary manpower.
After all, if the Starry Sky Dao Sect were to engage in internal strife, those immortal lineages would certainly take advantage of the chaos.
It's difficult to get someone to vomit up what they've already ingested.
"I hope so."
Chu Yao was still a little worried.
Is the Celestial King that Gu Qing mentioned really reliable?
If the Immortal King were to betray them or seize the fruits of victory, they would become sinners against the Starry Sky Dao lineage.
However, since things have come to this point, they have no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.
"Where do we go next?" Chu Yao asked.
"I need to find a place to cultivate."
The Calamity Black Dragon had devoured so many star-level geniuses and lineages; Gu Qing wanted to find a place to digest it quickly and improve his cultivation level.
"Why don't we go find the essence of all things? Besides, the Immortal Ancient Continent has many rare treasures," Chu Yao asked, puzzled.
"Moreover, the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm gathers the divine sons and daughters of the Primordial Star Region. Don't you want to compete with them?"
"Do not want to."
Gu Qing answered decisively, without a moment's hesitation, her expression as firm as if she were about to join the Party.
What's this talk of competing against each other? Isn't it just showing off?
Gu, that's the kind of person who dislikes showing off the most.
Instead of wasting time fighting for fame and fortune, it's more practical to cultivate steadily and improve one's strength.
Gu Qing also has her own small goals.
Within a hundred years, break through to the peak of the Celestial God Realm.
Within ten thousand years, break through to the peak of the Profound God realm.
He became a Celestial King after ten thousand years of cultivation.
Become an Immortal Emperor after a million years.
Thinking it over, Gu Qing added, "I have some insights and need to go into seclusion for a while."
The Immortal Ancient Continent is vast and boundless, and treasures are not so easy to find.
Gu Qing suddenly thought of He Ni. If He Ni were here, with the blessing of the Kongtong Seal, perhaps moving to a new place would allow her to accidentally find the essence of all things.
"That's fine, breaking through to a higher realm is more important."
Looking at the incomparably handsome Gu Qing, Chu Yao thought of the Calamity Black Dragon and nodded thoughtfully.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the Immortal Ancient Continent.
The moment we entered the land, an ancient and desolate aura swept over us, as if we had entered an undeveloped and wild continent.
The celestial aura filled the sky, and the celestial light shone brightly, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
"Such rich and pure immortal energy!" Gu Qing exclaimed in surprise.
Such pure immortal energy, without a trace of impurity, is no less than immortal source energy.
Even if you find nothing on the Immortal Ancient Continent, cultivating here for ten years would still be a huge gain.
Gu Qing scanned his surroundings with his divine sense. The sacred mountain was majestic and imposing, with towering divine trees, immortal herbs, and so on, all of which could be seen everywhere.
Under his divine sense, he had already discovered several good immortal herbs.
Gu Qing became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the document.
The Immortal Ancient Continent is truly vast and boundless.
His divine sense could scan several star rivers, but here it could only scan a few sacred mountains.
It's still just an ordinary sacred mountain.
A glimpse into the whole reveals the immense size of the Immortal Ancient Continent.
Perhaps only such a vast continent could give birth to countless divine creatures.
"Let's go into seclusion here."
Gu Qing was too lazy to move, so he immediately threw out array artifacts one by one to set up a massive array that combined defense, concealment, trapping and killing, and absorption of immortal energy.
"I do not want it."
Chu Yao quickly waved her hand.
She gathered a lot of information and also went to the sect to obtain information about places in the Immortal Ancient Continent where treasures could be found.
This is the time to truly showcase one's abilities; how could one possibly go into seclusion?
Although she was only at the third level of the Celestial God Realm, she had a magic weapon bestowed upon her by Jiang Yu, which could make up for the gap in their cultivation levels.
Moreover, she also wanted to find some divine plants for Gu Qing.
Having known Gu Qing for so long, and now that they've become Daoist partners, she has yet to give him a single gift.
"Okay, but you must notify me immediately if you encounter any danger."
Gu Qing thought about it and didn't insist, but simply lent her the Xuanhuo Treasure Mirror.
With hands moving non-stop, the formation was quickly set up.
"it is good!"
Chu Yao did not refuse and imprinted her soul mark on the Xuanhuo Treasure Mirror.
A gentle smile graced her charming face, making her alluring and captivating.
With a slender waist, full hips, and fair skin, she was truly an unparalleled beauty.
Gu Qing suddenly grabbed her slender waist with both hands: "Senior sister, let's not rush the treasure hunt. We haven't completed our final sacred ritual yet."
Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What sacred ritual?"
Did they perform any sacred rituals?
No way!
Gu Qing kissed her beautiful, slender neck.
He nibbled at her delicate earlobe and whispered, "The sacred power that transforms you into a woman, understand?"
"you…"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yao instantly understood, a blush spreading across her beautiful face, and she threw two powerful punches.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Qing conjured a palace from the ground, fully furnished with sofas and an eight-immortal table.
Small goals are important, but sometimes when faced with unforeseen circumstances, it's okay to compromise.
Even if they were exhausted in the end, it would still be a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

I'll update twice more, then I'll take a break.
