Chapter 257 The Entire Clan is an Enemy, Have I Entered a Bandit's Den?
"..."
Wencai, you're a fucking genius.
Despite such a tragic history, he managed to make it comedic in a stand-up comedy style.
Li Wencai was thin and had a refined appearance. He had a long goatee and spoke while waving a folding fan, looking like a learned scholar.
"okay."
Gu Qing interrupted Li Wencai's incessant chatter and asked in confusion, "Why would they harm cultivators from the lower realms? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for a sect to have more powerful members?"
Li Wencai paused, then sighed, "Your idea is good, but it's not suitable for the Starry Sky Dao Sect."
"The Starry Sky Dao Sect has been passed down from ancient times, and can even be traced back to the Primordial Creation Era. Its founding ancestor was the Holy Mother of Starry Sky."
"The sect possesses supreme cultivation techniques that lead directly to the Immortal Emperor's Path, astonishing secret arts, ancient secret realms, rare treasures of heaven and earth, and even innate spiritual treasures. There are countless kinds of natural materials, divine objects, and immortal treasures."
"Any one of these is enough for a cultivator to defy fate."
"It can be said that the Starry Sky Dao Sect lacks everything except peerless geniuses."
"..."
Gu Qing glanced at him sideways, speechless.
You'd never guess that the handsome and refined Li Wencai is such a chatterbox and loves to play riddles.
Gu Qing figured it out.
The Starry Sky Dao Sect possesses countless treasures and its ancestors left behind abundant blessings, resulting in a profound foundation that ensures it never lacks talented individuals to join its ranks.
But no matter how many treasures there are, they will eventually be used up. Therefore, the cultivators of the immortal realm conspired to scheme against the ascending cultivators of the lower realms and monopolize the remaining treasures.
However, Gu Qing still asked with some doubt, "Aside from our lineage, have all the other cultivators from the lower realms died out? Are they still capturing ascended cultivators to mine? Is it just mining? They're not dead?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wencai looked sorrowful: "They're all dead. Those who were taken to mine died not long after."
Gu Qing frowned, feeling that things weren't so simple, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
The local forces in the Immortal Realm have gone too far. They are both from the same Star Dao lineage, yet they have gone so far as to exterminate each other. This matter is strange in every way.
When I have time, I'll ask Jiang Yu and have her calculate it; then I'll understand everything.
"Gu Qing, you are now our only hope in the Three Thousand Realms, and at the same time, you are a thorn in the side of the despicable locals."
"Although our Ancestor You Kui is the strongest Xuan God, he fought three Xuan Gods alone without being defeated and withstood the aftershocks of a Celestial King's divine power without dying."
"But human strength has its limits and cannot be exceeded. Under the overwhelming force of the tide, even the most powerful ancestor was helpless."
You Kui was ultimately just one person, and he was no match for the entire Starry Sky Dao Sect's Xuan Shen, not to mention that there was also the Immortal King Ancestor above him.
Although the Immortal King Ancestor didn't care about these trivial matters and focused solely on comprehending the supreme Dao, his mere reputation was enough to awe everything.
It is precisely because of these various reasons that the Ancient Starfield lineage has been unable to recruit any prodigies.
Even if they receive it, they will either defect, perish unexpectedly, or be killed by other prodigies from other factions.
In short, You Kui could only protect Gu Qing from being persecuted by the Xuan Shen powerhouse; as for the rest, Gu Qing had to rely on himself.
Gu Qing nodded knowingly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes. After a while, he laughed.
"Interesting. I just joined the sect, and now the entire sect is my enemy. Did I join a sect or walk into a bandit's den?"
Li Wencai was taken aback, feeling that Gu Qing's description was too apt.
To them, wasn't the Starry Sky Dao Sect nothing more than a den of bandits who would devour people without spitting out the bones?
"Notify the sect that I want to become a true disciple. I want to see who dares to stop me."
Gu Qing's expression was cold; it seemed that killing was the only option.
He was very disappointed; he never expected the Star Dao Sect in the Immortal Realm to be in such a terrible state.
The god's heart suddenly cooled down.
Regardless of whether he becomes a god or not, he must receive some of the blessings left by his ancestors. He can't just come all this way for nothing, can he?
Li Wencai nodded.
To become a true disciple of the Sequence, one must first subdue the inner disciples, then ascend the Thousand-Step Starlight Path, and finally obtain the approval of the Sect Master and more than half of the elders.
"Take me to the arena of life and death."
"this…"
"Just do as instructed."
Although he inherited the protagonist's mess, he won't follow the protagonist's path, waiting to be slapped on the left cheek before offering his right.
After slapping both cheeks, he retaliated with a crooked smile.
Gu Qing does not have a masochistic tendency.
If you're going to be a villain, you have to act like one.
If you're not convinced, then fight until the sect bows down.
……
"I really don't know what to say."
"They've only just arrived at the Starry Sky Dao Sect, yet they dare to be so arrogant. They clearly don't take us seriously."
"Isn't this better? It saves us the trouble of calculating."
"That's what the sect master said."
"Those ants of the lower realm shall be exterminated."
The powerful deities communicated through telepathy across time and space.
Suddenly someone said, "Who will go and kill this arrogant brat?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Killing Gu Qing wouldn't be difficult, after all, he was a second-level Heavenly God Realm cultivator, and Gu Qing was indeed very strong.
However, they have many outstanding disciples under their command, and if they are given some valuable treasures, they will surely be able to secure victory.
However, after Gu Qing's death, they may face the wrath of the three Xuan Gods.
This is the most difficult thing.
"No one should shirk their responsibility. This matter concerns our long-term plan, and everyone has a duty to do so."
"How about this, we'll stick together and send out some disciples together."
"good."
……
"Hurry up! I heard that Gu Qing, who ascended from the lower realm, is going to challenge an inner disciple."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true."
"Tsk, tsk, now we have something good to watch."
The news spread quickly, attracting countless disciples who all wanted to catch a glimpse of Gu Qing's demeanor.
I want to know if Gu Qing is as invincible as the aura he exudes.
boom!
On the arena, Gu Qing slapped a third-level Celestial God Realm cultivator to death.
"hiss."
"Isn't this too scary?"
They unleash their ultimate move right from the start.
The disciples who came to watch couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Even though they had anticipated it, Gu Qing was definitely exceptionally powerful, a fact that could be seen from the aura he exuded.
However, they are not weak either.
Those who can become disciples of the Starry Sky Dao Sect are not weaklings, but geniuses with powerful physiques, one in a billion.
Becoming an inner disciple is an achievement among the best.
Those who become the personal disciples of the peak masters of various sects are truly prodigies, possessing a bright future.
Yet, despite its existence, it was easily swatted away by Gu Qing like a mosquito.
This isn't powerful, it's clearly a monster.
"Hurry up and get on, don't waste each other's time."
After putting away the person's storage ring, Gu Qing spoke coldly.
"..."
Damn it, who would dare to go up there and die?
After all, it's not easy to cultivate to the Celestial God Realm.
They are already immortals, possessing unlimited lifespans and living brilliant and glorious lives.
"Gu Qing, do you dare to challenge a mid-stage Celestial God Realm expert?"
Someone said with a provocative look.
The higher the level, the greater the gap between each stage; the initial, middle, and later stages are like insurmountable chasms.
No matter how powerful Gu Qing is, I don't believe he can defeat a mid-stage Celestial God.
Although it's shameful to make such a request, compared to life, that little bit of face is nothing.
"can."
Gu Qing nodded and continued, "However, I want to challenge thirty early-stage Heavenly Gods first. Once I have no more opponents, I will challenge the mid-stage ones."
The man's smug smile instantly froze on his face, a sense of fear rising within him, for he was next on the stage.
The disciples, however, wondered if Gu Qing had gone mad.
Let's set aside whether Gu Qing has the strength to challenge a mid-stage Heavenly God Realm expert.
Having killed thirty early-stage Celestial Gods, would the Starry Sky Dao Sect still tolerate Gu Qing?
The elder on the stage twitched, staring intently at Gu Qing.
Don't underestimate those at the Starry Sky Dao Sect's Divine Fire Realm; they can roam freely at the Heavenly God Realm.
But it was cultivated over countless years with countless treasures.
Each Celestial God Realm expert is extremely precious.
They are the backbone of the sect.
Furthermore, in the outside world, a Celestial God Realm expert would be a dominant force.
Only the Starry Sky Dao Sect, with its long history and transcendent sect in the Immortal Realm, possessing profound foundations, could accept a Celestial God Realm expert as a disciple.
Why are you all silent?
Gu Qing glanced around, looked at the elders on the high platform, and smiled.
"Since no one is challenging me, can I be promoted to a true disciple?"
on purpose.
Gu Qing did it on purpose.
The elders, their faces grim, exchanged whispers, weighing the pros and cons.
"Ha!" Gu Qing sneered.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
The "pretending to be weak to fool others" trope is only suitable for the main character, not for him.
He deliberately displayed invincible strength, forcefully killing his opponent, just to make the elder continue to send his disciples to their deaths.
So that they will become disloyal and alienated.
If he doesn't do as instructed, he can rightfully become the true successor of the lineage.
After all, those thousand steps could not stop him.
Everyone present knew this perfectly well.
Now it's up to the elders to decide.
No matter what he does, he's a winner.
As for whether doing so would offend the Starry Sky Dao Sect to death, Gu Qing didn't care at all.
He only wanted the blessings left by his ancestors and to use these divine objects to become stronger.
Once the Starry Sky Dao Sect has no more divine treasures to offer, he'll pack up and leave. It's better to leave such a bandit-like sect.
To reiterate, he's not the main character, and he doesn't have the inclination to subdue enemies and then whitewash them.
