Chapter 321 Children make choices; adults want it all!
"My parents have both broken through to the Venerable Realm, and my younger brother is also doing very well, steadily progressing and breaking through to the Supreme Saint Realm..."
Su Qingyue sat in Gu Qing's lap with a smile on her face, chatting about everyday matters.
Gu Qing was very patient, asking a question or two every now and then, which greatly encouraged Su Qingyue to confide in him.
"Senior brother is really amazing."
After finishing discussing family matters, Su Qingyue wrapped her arms around Gu Qing's neck, her cool and beautiful eyes filled with admiration and respect.
A blush rose to her stunningly beautiful face as she parted her red lips slightly: "Senior brother, you stood out in the mortal realm, and you remain so after ascending to the immortal realm. You are a sight to behold throughout the ages. Who in the immortal realm does not know you?"
As soon as she arrived at the Starry Sky Dao Sect, she inquired about Gu Qing's whereabouts. When she learned that Gu Qing had defeated enemies beyond his level and ascended to the top of the Starry Sky Avenue in one go, she was surprised.
She was incredibly shocked.
You must know that it was a treasure left behind by the ancient goddess Star Mother during the creation of the world. Reaching the top of it would give one the appearance of an immortal emperor.
The Immortal Realm is vast, with endless ages passing by. Many outstanding talents have emerged in the Immortal Realm, but only two have reached the top.
She was incredibly proud and honored to have the privilege of becoming a Daoist partner with the future Immortal Emperor.
"I have even more amazing skills to offer."
Gu Qing pinched her little nose.
Seeing the usually aloof and ethereal Su Qingyue reveal her delicate and girlish side, the contrast was so beautiful that Gu Qing couldn't resist.
"Even more powerful?"
Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, she exclaimed with delight, "Could it be that Senior Brother is about to break through to the Profound God realm?"
Gu Qing: "..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Silly girl, your wicked senior brother clearly wants to eat you alive.
Gu Qing stroked her hair, then pinched her fair cheek, a gentle and tender smile appearing on his face.
Su Qingyue blinked, her beautiful eyes glazed over, lost in Gu Qing's gentle smile.
"I have already broken through to the Profound God level, and I am still at the second level of the Profound God level."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the two snapped out of their daze at Gu Qing's stunning appearance, their minds reeling.
The Mysterious God has comprehended the true essence of the laws, which is profound and mysterious. He is like an ancestor in the Immortal Realm.
Gu Qing is actually a powerful figure at the ancestor level?
Sensing the profound divine aura that Gu Qing was displaying, the two were overjoyed.
"Senior brother is amazing!" Su Qingyue exclaimed excitedly, pressing herself against Gu Qing's chest.
Chu Yao was speechless, her fox-like eyes gleaming with admiration.
Gu Qing smiled smugly: "This is just a small goal of mine, nothing special."
"Uh-huh!"
Su Qingyue said excitedly, "With your talent, Senior Brother, you will surely become the first Immortal Emperor to attain enlightenment since the ancient times."
"Although we are unparalleled beauties of heaven, we are no match for our senior brother."
He paused, then added, "Even red beans can't compare."
"By the way, Senior Brother, you don't know yet, Hongdou has become the Palace Master, do you?"
"I really didn't expect that. I thought it would be Ruyan or Luoli who would become the Palace Master," Gu Qing said with a smile.
"I also thought it was one of the two of them, but who knew that Hongdou would suddenly rise to prominence and become an unparalleled warrior, ascending to the Immortal Realm in just a hundred years."
"Hongdou also helped me a lot by killing those who plotted against me."
At this point, Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes flickered with worry as she asked, "Hongdou hasn't come to the Starry Sky Dao Sect yet. Did something go wrong with her ascension?"
Gu Qing shook her head: "I don't know either, I haven't received any news from her."
Chu Yao interjected, "Luo Li didn't come to the Starry Sky Dao Sect either. I wonder how the two of them are doing."
"Don't worry, they are all people with great fortune, they will be fine," Gu Qing said.
Xiao Hongdou is a transmigrated woman with a system, although the specific functions of Xiao Hongdou's system are unknown.
However, one thing is certain: the main character usually can't do anything about her.
As for Luo Li, she would be in some danger if she encountered the protagonist of her destiny.
Chu Yao rolled her eyes: "Who's worried about them?"
She wasn't familiar with either of them.
Some even disliked it.
Because both of them are ruthless and vicious, it is a case of "those who walk different paths cannot make plans together".
They had almost nothing to talk about, and when they met, they were just familiar strangers.
Gu Qing: "By the way, were you all brought to the sect by Sister Yu?"
Su Qingyue: "Yes, Sister Su Ying, and Ru Yan and Ru Yi too, they are cultivating in the Myriad Star Pool."
After a pause, a mischievous glint appeared in Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes as she wrapped her arms around Gu Qing's neck: "Senior brother, do you like Ruyan?"
Gu Qing was taken aback: "No, what do you mean?"
Su Qingyue: "Ruyan has many suitors, one of whom even followed her all the way to the Immortal Realm to ascend together. However, Ruyan has made it clear that she only has eyes for you."
Gu Qing paused for a moment: "Is it possible that Ru Yan just admires me? Or, does she want to surpass me?"
Empress Ruyan is indeed a scumbag woman; even her devoted admirers have come all the way to the Immortal Realm.
"Maybe!"
Su Qingyue changed the subject, a blush rising on her cool and beautiful face as she looked at Chu Yao with her beautiful eyes.
"What about Sister Chu?"
“I saw you come in holding hands.”
Chu Yao blushed: "We are indeed together."
Su Qingyue smiled and said, "I knew it. Sister Chu is in love with Senior Brother. You two will definitely end up together. I asked you to marry Senior Brother back then, but you didn't want to. Now you're together, aren't you?"
"You brat, are you making fun of me?"
Chu Yao angrily scratched her.
"Giggle, it tickles! Sister Chu, I know I was wrong..."
Looking at Su Qingyue struggling in his arms, and Chu Yao so close to him.
Gu Qing reached out and grabbed them; now the sisters were all together.
He glanced at Su Qingyue, who was as aloof and ethereal as a fairy.
He then glanced at the alluring Chu Yao.
Let's compare...
Forget it, let's not compare anymore. Only children make choices; adults want it all.
"Oh no!" Chu Yao thought to herself that something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was too late.
……
Divine Peak.
Upon receiving Zhi Meng's order, Bai Suying immediately sent a message, summoning all disciples to assemble.
After waiting for a long time, people gradually arrived, all with smiles on their faces, not taking Bai Suying on the high platform seriously at all.
They all pretended not to see it and chatted with their companions.
Bai Suying's complexion was not good.
She knew that she had just ascended and her strength was weak, only at the first level of the Heavenly God Realm.
His immortal essence hasn't been fully converted yet, so his combat strength is weak. He probably can't even withstand a single move from these people.
Although in the cultivation world, strength is paramount.
But she was Zhi Meng's disciple. These people had only joined Shenhuan Peak and weren't even Zhi Meng's nominal disciples; they were just disciples of Zhi Meng's lineage.
These people ignored her, clearly trying to intimidate her and undermine her authority.
If these people aren't taught a lesson, they'll probably just pay lip service when she issues tasks in the future.
They only take contribution points but don't do anything.
"As expected, a kind heart cannot command an army." Bai Suying regretted it deeply, regretting that she shouldn't have treated these people as her own.
Her good intentions only emboldened these people to take advantage of her.
……
"Senior Brother Zhong, are we really not going?"
The disciples who didn't go gathered together, and someone said with concern.
Although Zhi Meng doesn't manage affairs, Bai Suying is still Zhi Meng's disciple. Their open disobedience will inevitably be punished if investigated.
"What are you afraid of?"
The young man in the lead glanced at him with disdain and said scornfully, "If it were Senior Brother Gu who summoned us, then of course we would go. But what is Bai Suying? A little ant who just ascended to the Immortal Realm dares to try to command us. It's laughable."
"That's right. I joined the Divine Illusion Peak to cultivate the Peak Master's supreme Dao techniques, not to serve as a beast of burden for an ant."
The faces of everyone turned grim upon thinking of the task Bai Suying had issued.
The Divine Illusion Peak is rich in immortal energy and has clear rules governing heaven and earth, making it a treasure land for enlightenment.
They used to be reluctant to use even immortal crystals for cultivation, but now they have plenty of immortal energy.
They wished they could stay in seclusion on Shenhuan Peak every day, so they didn't even have enough time to cultivate, let alone go out to do missions.
"But what if Senior Brother Gu goes too?"
"Don't worry, I have people keeping an eye on Zilian Peak, he hasn't come out at all."
Zhong Xuelong's eyes flashed: "We are all geniuses, pursuing the supreme path. None of you want to remain mediocre servants forever, do you?"
The crowd shook their heads.
Although you can earn contribution points by going out, those contribution points are not enough to exchange for much Immortal Essence.
Going out to guard the mines for a hundred years is not as valuable as them spending a single year in seclusion at Shenhuan Peak to cultivate immortal essence.
“Very good. Bai Suying is the only one in charge of Shenhuan Peak. If she does not perform her duties well, the Peak Master will definitely take in some more disciples. At that time, we may have a chance to become the Peak Master’s disciples and cultivate the supreme thunder technique.”
"If I become Senior Brother Gu's junior brother, perhaps Senior Brother Gu will bestow upon me a divine object."
Zhong Xuelong spoke in a low voice, his eyes filled with longing.
They had heard that Bai Suying was merely a nominal disciple of Zhi Meng, someone she was taken in to manage trivial matters.
In Zhi Meng's eyes, Bai Suying was completely insignificant.
Since Bai Suying came to the Starry Sky Dao Sect, Zhi Meng has only met her once, appointing her to manage the Divine Illusion Peak.
If Bai Suying fails to manage things properly, Zhi Meng will definitely give up on her, right?
He can then use that opportunity to rise to power.
After all, he was at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm, and among all the disciples, he was outstanding in both combat strength and ability.
“Brother Zhong is right. We’ll just use seclusion as an excuse to get out of it.”
"Alright, let's work together. As long as we let the peak master see her incompetence, we will all have a chance to soar to the top."
Zhong Xuelong's eyes were cold as he looked out of the cave.
He was determined to become Zhi Meng's apprentice.
His childhood sweetheart betrayed him by marrying someone else, which led to the destruction of his family.
In his quest for revenge, he braved countless perilous terrains, battling demonic beasts and cultivators, enduring countless near-death experiences.
By sheer chance, he joined the Divine Illusion Peak, and a great opportunity to soar to the heavens was right before his eyes; he would absolutely not miss it.
As long as one becomes a disciple of Zhi Meng, one can attain a transcendent status and cultivate the supreme thunder magic.
He then returned home in glory, to show Qingmei how wrong her decision was to abandon him and marry someone else.
He wanted to take back his childhood sweetheart, kill her man, and then rape and murder her to vent his hatred.
