Chapter 41 The Chaos Record of Moon and Sun, Slaughtering the Newlywed Husband
"System, check her attribute data, and also probe her personality."
Gu Qing was very interested in this female villain who dared to dig out the protagonist's supreme bone.
[Name] Luo Li.
[Realm] Ninth level peak of the Mysterious Dan Realm.
[Constitution] Phoenix bloodline, Supreme Bone, Eternal Undying Divine Phoenix Body (unawakened).
[Talent] Born close to the Dao, dazzling through the ages.
[Fate] Heaven's Mandated Villain.
[Destiny] Continuous fortune, destined calamity.
[Fortune] Two hundred thousand.
[Personality] Vicious and ruthless, vengeful, deeply scheming, with strong ambition for power, resolute and controlling…
"Goodness, this personality truly befits a villain." Gu Qing's eyelids twitched.
With Luo Li's character, the coming days would certainly not be peaceful.
Luo Li would definitely stir up storms in the Star God Temple.
"System, why does her fortune exceed that of Xiao Yi and Lin Chen Lin Yang?"
Two hundred thousand fortune. If not for knowing she was a villain, Gu Qing would have thought she was the Daughter of Heaven.
[Very normal. Villains are also born with immense fortune, but lacking the protagonist's plundering halo, in the end their fortune cannot surpass that of the protagonist.]
So that was the case… Gu Qing understood and continued asking, "What difference is there between the Phoenix bloodline and the Eternal Undying Divine Phoenix Body?"
[The difference is great.]
[The Phoenix bloodline at most equals a high-grade divine body, while the Eternal Undying Divine Phoenix Body, also known as the Eternal Tribulation Immortal Body, is undying and immortal, unrelated to the divine beast Phoenix.]
"??? What does that mean?"
[She possesses the undying origin through ten thousand tribulations and has already begun merging with the Phoenix bloodline. Once successful, she will become the Eternal Undying Divine Phoenix Body, capable of nirvana rebirth with a single thought.]
Remarkable… Gu Qing's heart was in turmoil.
Undying and immortal meant she could not be killed.
Coupled with the two talents of being born close to the Dao and dazzling through the ages, Luo Li was simply invincible.
Then the question arose: how would Luo Li's nemesis Ye Hao face this?
Did he possess a constitution even more terrifying than hers?
Thinking this, Gu Qing smiled faintly at her, found an excuse, and left the Goddess Hall, heading toward the Star God Temple's treasury.
Regardless of protagonist or villain, Gu Qing only wished to cultivate quietly and become stronger.
His greatest dream in this life was eternal longevity, overlooking the changes of countless ages.
Luo Li's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, countless schemes flickering within. She bowed to Zhi Meng.
"Master, what is senior brother's constitution?"
"Zhou Tian Star God Body. Your senior sister is the Lunar God Body."
Zhi Meng spoke lightly: "Your senior brother's talent dazzles through the ages. In the future, if you do not understand something, you may seek his guidance."
"A Supreme God Body…"
Shock appeared in Luo Li's phoenix eyes.
This was the legendary constitution that had not appeared in endless ages.
"Yes, this is a golden era, with countless legendary constitutions emerging."
Zhi Meng sighed faintly.
She thought of her detestable younger sister's favored disciple.
Cursed daily by that sister, she had never cared, dismissing it as no more than a slightly gifted ant unworthy of attention.
She had confidence that casually teaching a disciple herself would be enough to suppress her sister's disciple.
But upon seeing Lin Chuqing in person, she fell silent.
Even if she devoted all her efforts to nurturing Su Qingyue, she would never be Lin Chuqing's match.
Only then did she decide to take another disciple.
Although she had no hope of Luo Li defeating Lin Chuqing either, this did not mean Luo Li's aptitude was lacking.
Both had limitless potential, with the qualifications to become gods and ascend.
She had many disciples, while her detestable younger sister had only one. Losing in comparison would not look too bad.
Fortunately, Zhi Meng did not know that Luo Li possessed the unawakened Eternal Undying Divine Phoenix Body, otherwise she would not have thought so.
With this in mind, Zhi Meng asked, "How is the fusion of your Supreme Bone progressing?"
"Master, I do not wish to fuse the Supreme Bone."
Luo Li spoke solemnly.
"Why?" Zhi Meng was stunned. She had taken Luo Li as her disciple precisely because of her Phoenix bloodline and Supreme Bone. Together, the two would complement each other.
The Phoenix bloodline could perfectly nurture the Supreme Bone, making it her own, even giving rise to formidable law power.
Su Qingyue likewise looked at Luo Li in confusion.
If she did not wish to fuse it, why dig out someone else's bone?
It must be known that the Supreme Bone was the most likely to advance into a Supreme God Body.
With it, one could refine their flesh and bones into a supreme treasure body, nurturing innate Dao patterns of law.
"I wish to refine it into my own."
"I am invincible as I am. Why would I need another's bone?"
Luo Li's phoenix eyes were resolute, her aura majestic and sacred, like an unparalleled emperor.
There was no sign she was merely a teenage girl.
"Confidence is good, but you must also recognize reality."
Zhi Meng spoke coldly, dismissive of Luo Li's words.
With her sharp eyes, she could see clearly—Luo Li could not even defeat Su Qingyue, yet claimed invincibility?
Utterly laughable.
"Master, although I now seem ordinary, if I had no absolute confidence, how would I dare gamble with my own future?"
Luo Li's ambition was vast. Upon breaking through to the ninth level of the Mysterious Dan Realm, she had discovered her unawakened peerless constitution, containing innate immortal divinity.
Once awakened, it would be no weaker than the Supreme God Body. Naturally, she would look down on the Supreme Bone.
But such a secret she dared not reveal, fearing Zhi Meng would strip her origin.
After all, her Supreme Bone had been dug from her fiancé. Judging others by herself, Luo Li feared she would share the same fate as him.
"Then what do you want?"
Seeing Luo Li's firm stance, Zhi Meng frowned.
"Disciple wishes for a refinement method. I ask Master to grant it."
Luo Li bowed deeply.
Zhi Meng hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
Though she did not think highly of Luo Li, this was Luo Li's decision, and she would not interfere too much.
"Thank you, Master, for granting this!"
Luo Li was overjoyed.
With this refinement method, she could perfectly refine the Supreme Bone into herself, awaken a peerless divine body, and even fuse it with her Phoenix bloodline.
"Very well, go now."
"Yes, Master."
Luo Li and Su Qingyue withdrew from the great hall.
"Senior sister, I ask for your guidance in the future."
"What are you saying, junior sister? My cultivation is not even as high as yours." Su Qingyue smiled.
Seeing this, Luo Li's mood improved.
A silly and sweet senior sister was nothing to fear.
Once she awakened a peerless divine body, she would begin plotting for the position of Saintess.
And as for Gu Qing…
The Zhou Tian Star God Body was the precious treasure of the Star God Temple, so it was not easy to target. It would be best to bring him under her control.
Luo Li had absolute confidence in her own charm. She did not believe Gu Qing would not fall at her feet.
…
On the other side, Gu Qing handed the Sun Dao Scripture to an elder guarding the treasury.
"Elder Gu, this disciple wants one Star Fruit."
"Not just one Star Fruit. Whatever you fancy, take it as you please."
Gu Daoyi stroked his graying beard, kindly and benevolent.
The more he looked at Gu Qing, the more satisfied he became.
Gu Qing's special favor was not only because he possessed a Supreme God Body, but because his Supreme God Body was the Zhou Tian Star God Body.
It was the same constitution as their sect-founding patriarch. Naturally, they would spare no effort to nurture him, hoping to cultivate a little patriarch.
If it were some other Supreme God Body, the Star God Temple would never allow free access to its treasures.
Even an ancestor of the Divine Fire Realm could not take whatever he wished.
"Many thanks, Elder!"
Delighted, Gu Qing offered his thanks, then stepped into the treasury.
The treasury itself was a sacred artifact with an artifact spirit.
Whatever you wanted, you only had to silently intone its name, and it would appear before you.
There were thirty jade boxes. Gu Qing opened one; divine radiance surged out, starry Dao aura spreading.
He saw a single fruit, like a tiny starry cosmos—points of starlight, vast and profound—nothing like an ordinary fruit.
"I want nine."
He Ni, seeing there were thirty Star Fruits, exclaimed in surprise.
A single one would be only a stopgap. If there were more, her ingenious apertures and cave heavens would open far more perfectly.
"All right."
After brief hesitation, Gu Qing nodded, giving her nine and taking four for himself.
"I want the Three-Luminescence Divine Water."
As soon as he spoke, Gu Qing appeared in another place. Before his eyes floated several thousand jade bottles.
Each jade bottle held one hundred drops of Three-Luminescence Divine Water.
It must be known that the Three-Luminescence Divine Water was a sacred medicinal substance that could remodel the fleshly body.
A single drop was priceless.
Yet the Star God Temple had accumulated several thousand bottles—its deep foundation was evident.
"Take nine bottles for me!"
"Understood."
Gu Qing hesitated a moment and took only nine bottles.
He thought that the Starlight Divine Water refined by his Golden Gourd should be no worse than the temple's Three-Luminescence Divine Water.
He would test it another day. If it fell short, it would not be too late to come back and receive more.
Clearly, Gu Qing felt a bit embarrassed to take too many treasures from the Star God Temple.
After all, they were not blown in by the wind.
All were collected by the predecessors of the Star God Temple through countless hardships.
Unless necessary, he should not be too greedy.
"Go get some divine iron next."
He Ni spoke excitedly.
"Divine iron!"
Gu Qing instantly appeared before a star.
This star resembled the Star Fruit but was much larger, measuring a full nine units across.
It looked like a star, yet also like a small cosmos containing the myriad phenomena of the universe, emitting hazy starry divine light and pervaded by Dao aura.
"A complete Star-Iron Mother. Take it quickly and refine it into your life-bound supreme treasure."
Although He Ni longed for it as well, she distinguished clearly between gratitude and desire; she knew the Star-Iron Mother was extremely important to Gu Qing.
Hearing this, Gu Qing's heart thumped.
Divine iron for refining artifacts was good, but refining artifacts consumed time and effort. One piece would suffice; too many would seriously delay his breakthroughs.
Moreover, compared to refining it himself, Gu Qing preferred to reap benefits for free.
Perhaps he could draw an artifact from his foster father in the future.
Gu Qing put away the Star-Iron Mother and silently intoned for a flying treasure.
In an instant he appeared elsewhere. Before him floated all kinds of chariots and flying boats, radiating dazzling light.
"He Ni, help me see which flying boat is best," Gu Qing asked by voice transmission.
"What type do you want? Small flying boats are the fastest. Medium and large ones are powerful but consume more energy."
He Ni asked.
"Do small flying boats have a seclusion chamber and automatic flight?" Gu Qing asked.
"They do. Those are basic functions of flying boats. It seems you want a small one."
"Then choose that Void Flying Boat."
Among all the flying boats here, the Void Flying Boat was the highest grade, a sacred artifact.
It possessed defensive arrays, spirit-gathering arrays, concealment arrays, trapping-and-killing arrays, and so on.
With sufficient energy, it could slay those of the King Realm, and even those of the Supreme Realm could not catch up.
"Let's also look at high-grade demonic beast flesh and blood."
"All right!"
In the end, Gu Qing took two corpses of demonic beasts at the Saint Realm.
Fortunately, the two beasts were sealed inside spatial treasure boxes. Otherwise, even a single wisp of their leaking aura could have blasted Gu Qing to death.
Back in his own cave abode, Gu Qing took out the Golden Gourd, stored the refined divine-iron liquid, and then began refining the two Saint Realm beasts.
What he poured out was like a vast ocean.
The beasts were truly enormous at the Saint Realm—who knew how many hundreds of li long.
Gu Qing's horizons were broadened.
"You are giving the Star-Iron Mother to me?"
Staring at the Star-Iron Mother that suddenly appeared before her, He Ni felt a bit unreal.
Other things were one matter; after all, the Star God Temple had stockpiles, and Gu Qing could not use them up.
But there was only one Star-Iron Mother.
It was divine iron that could be used to forge a life-bound treasure.
"Yes, take it. Consider it a token of appreciation for you opening the Heaven-Opening Divine Halberd," Gu Qing said.
At that, He Ni gave Gu Qing a deep look, accepted gladly, and said, "When I leave seclusion, I will give you a big surprise."
"Good!"
Gu Qing responded, closed the Heaven and Earth Sword, then took a small sip of divine-iron liquid. He could not say it tasted good—only bland and flavorless.
Moreover, the divine-iron liquid was as gentle as quicksilver, with no reaction in his body.
Gu Qing tried operating the Chaos Bottle Seal to refine himself, smelting the divine-iron liquid into the three thousand apertures and cave heavens.
He saw drop after drop merge with the apertures, then gestate stunning sword qi.
"As expected, it works." Gu Qing could not contain his joy.
With the cave heavens fused with divine-iron liquid, it was equivalent to forming a placenta that could nurture divine swords.
This was far stronger than directly smelting it into a sword.
After all, forging a sword that way would require constant feeding with divine iron.
But by refining a placenta, he could use spiritual qi to continuously nurture the divine swords.
With that thought, Gu Qing gulped it down in one go and soon smelted the three thousand apertures and cave heavens into fetal membranes. Henceforth, with only spiritual qi, he could nurture divine swords.
[Host, your Chaos Bottle Seal is exceedingly heaven-defying, a supreme divine ability secret art. You must study it well; it will benefit you endlessly.]
The system offered a reminder.
Gu Qing grunted in acknowledgment and muted his foster father.
He headed straight for the Scripture Pavilion he longed for, entering a state of hearing nothing outside the window and reading only the sages' books.
Time flowed on like a shuttle.
In the first month, Gu Qing browsed more than ten thousand foundational arts of heaven and earth, laying a solid base.
In the second month, Gu Qing read one hundred King-level, Venerable-level, and Saint-level arts.
In the third month, Gu Qing read cultivation insights.
In the fourth month, Gu Qing read numerous divine ability secret techniques, deducing as he read and deriving divine ability imprints within his body.
Gu Qing was like a sponge, frenziedly absorbing knowledge.
Study made him happy.
Gu Qing seemed to enter a boundless ocean of joy.
In the fifth month, Gu Qing returned to his cave abode for seclusion, integrating arts. Subtle chaotic Dao aura surged around him.
After one year, Gu Qing successfully integrated the Chaos Undying Scripture. Though his realm did not break through, he grew several times stronger, further perfecting the Chaos Undying Scripture and deepening his understanding of the Dao.
"He Ni, I am going into seclusion to break through my realm. When will you undergo thunder tribulation?"
After remodeling the body, there would be a thunder tribulation. Only after passing it would one be truly reborn.
"Go into seclusion. I am not in a hurry."
He Ni's ethereal voice carried a note of joy.
Clearly, her Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus had reached perfection, her three thousand apertures and cave heavens were opened flawlessly, and she had gestated peerless divine swords.
She could undergo tribulation for rebirth at any time.
If she did not cross tribulation, she could still cultivate, and the effect would be even better.
"All right then!"
Gu Qing hurried to the treasury, received a King Realm demonic beast, and refined it into precious liquid.
Although Chu Yao had given him much demonic beast flesh and blood, it did not include beasts of the King Realm.
Even those of the Spirit Refining Realm were exceedingly rare.
This could not be helped.
A demonic beast of the King Realm— even a single drop of its blood was a treasure and was generally used for auctions.
Gu Qing poured out the precious liquid, flooding the mountaintop. Dense vitality steamed, and multicolored light misted the air.
He still had more than half left unpoured.
"If I refine all of this, it should be enough for me to break through to the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm and push the Chaos Star Body to one hundred percent."
"I wonder whether my life-bound divine ability will awaken."
Thinking thus, Gu Qing adjusted his mindset and operated the Chaos Undying Scripture.
In an instant, his Mysterious Dan transformed directly into a Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit looked exactly like Gu Qing, merely proportionally smaller.
The Primordial Spirit flew into the Nine-Colored Soul Lotus, absorbing its innate qi, washing and strengthening the soul.
First level of the Spirit Refining Realm…
Second level of the Spirit Refining Realm…
Fifth level of the Spirit Refining Realm…
As his realm surged rapidly, Gu Qing's divine body underwent a world-shaking metamorphosis.
"So young, yet with such a temperament—good. I was only afraid he would lose himself in boundless honors and be unable to endure the loneliness of cultivation…"
"Zhi Meng, has he set foot on his own path and intends to smelt all laws to prove the Dao?"
The old monster lying in the coffin asked Zhi Meng excitedly.
At this moment, Gu Qing's aura was too wondrous. He remained in a constant state of unity between heaven and man. Every movement could alter the world's magnetic field.
He seemed to be the center of the world, with the laws of heaven and earth accompanying him.
He also exuded a transcendent air, as though he did not belong to this realm of living beings, but was a lofty innate deity.
"Yes. He possesses heaven-defying comprehension, a mind as firm as bedrock, and a child's heart seeking the Dao. The least worth mentioning thing about him is the Zhou Tian Star God Body."
Zhi Meng recalled debating Dao methods and divine abilities with Gu Qing; her red lips curved.
"Old Ancestor, another day I will send him to you to listen to the sound of the Great Dao."
"Good, good, good. You still have a bit of conscience."
"With talent and perseverance, and bearing great fortune, who knows how far he will go in the future?"
"Enough empty talk. Always shutting ourselves away like this is not the answer. Paper talk is shallow; to truly know, one must practice. The strong all grow through blood and fire."
"Let us establish him as a Holy Son and send him out to compete with those divine bodies?"
"The position of Holy Son does not befit him. I think 'Divine Son' is better…"
At these words, all the old monsters fell silent.
Their gazes turned to Zhi Meng.
In the Star God Temple, the most honored identities were not the Holy Son and Holy Girl, nor the temple lord.
They were the Divine Son and Divine Girl.
Since ancient times, every Divine Son and Divine Girl of the Star God Temple had become gods and ascended to the Immortal Realm, becoming titans there.
Moreover, the Divine Son and Divine Girl were to cultivate in dual cultivation.
The Star God Temple possessed a scripture called the Chaos Record of Moon and Sun.
It was the temple's supreme legacy divine art, capable of cultivating the acquired Yin-Yang Chaos Body.
Zhi Meng and Gu Qing were master and disciple. Although the Star God Temple had no rule forbidding master and disciple from becoming spouses, the age and strength gap between them was too great.
Of course, the temple also did not require the Divine Son and Divine Girl to dual cultivate.
It was just that in the past, for the sake of the supreme Dao, all Divine Sons and Divine Girls ultimately chose dual cultivation.
They jointly studied the Chaos Record of Moon and Sun.
This was also why they were so powerful and inevitably ascended to the Immortal Realm.
Speaking of which, in Zhi Meng's era, they had established a Divine Son who possessed the Pure Yang Dao Body, with monstrous aptitude.
The two were childhood sweethearts, close companions since youth, deeply attached—an almost perfect match for Zhi Meng.
But for reasons unknown, on the day they drank their wedding wine, Zhi Meng slaughtered her newlywed husband.
