Chapter 114 The Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire is Unworthy of Her Name
"Hiss~"
"Peak of the King Realm..."
At this time, several hundred disciples of the Clear Wind Sect had gathered, all wanting to witness the demeanor of Bai Suying's Dao companion.
Because Bai Suying was too well-liked in the Clear Wind Sect, she was considered their half-mentor.
There were also many admirers of Bai Suying, including elders.
If they did not get a look at Bai Suying's Dao companion, they would not be reconciled.
However, when Gu Qing descended, everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with shock.
They saw Gu Qing's aura fully revealed, his spirits soaring, his appearance as if meticulously carved by the Creator, incomparably handsome.
The innate nobility that naturally emanated from him made them feel inferior, as if they were not in the same realm of life at all.
Gu Qing was as noble as a celestial god, while they were but mortals among the masses.
"Eh, that's not right, he, he is Gu Qing of the Star Temple..."
Someone recognized Gu Qing. After all, Gu Qing had shown his face in the Central God Domain back then and had even powerfully slain Shi Yehan.
But a few years ago, was Gu Qing not only at the Void Dao Realm?
How could he have broken through to the peak of the King Realm in just a few years?
This speed was simply too world-shaking.
For a moment, the crowd no longer felt jealousy, and even felt that Bai Suying was somewhat unworthy of Gu Qing.
After all, this was an unparalleled prodigy of the ages, destined to achieve godhood and ascend.
"Elder Bai is truly fortunate..."
Someone glanced at Bai Suying with a resentful look in their eyes.
Back then, Bai Suying had only said her Dao companion was a disciple of the Star Temple, but she did not say it was Gu Qing.
If they had known it was Gu Qing, they would have done anything to latch onto his coattails.
They wondered if it was too late to do so now.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Gu Qing looked at her beautiful, lotus-like face and said with some apology.
He had promised Bai Suying he would only make her wait a few months, but it turned out to be several years.
Fortunately, this was the cultivation world, where time was the least valuable thing.
"No!"
Bai Suying's expression was one of pleasant surprise. After countless days and nights of longing, she had finally seen the little bastard she had been thinking about.
Peak of the King Realm, Gu Qing's talent was simply beyond her imagination.
She could not imagine how Gu Qing had done it.
Bai Suying opened her mouth to speak, but forcefully held back. There were too many people here, and it was not the place to talk.
She led Gu Qing to her own mountain peak, her steps light and brisk.
Once the formation was closed, neither of them spoke. Everything was understood without words, and they were unaware of anything else in the world.
A day later, by the hot spring, Gu Qing comfortably enjoyed the service of the Empress, squinting his eyes as he asked: "My dear consort, your skills are quite good."
"You little bastard, are you still addicted to playing the emperor?!"
Bai Suying angrily punched him, panting, her face like a peach blossom, her beautiful, watery eyes full of resentment.
She thought for a moment, but ultimately did not ask Gu Qing where he had been all these years, or if he was still going to take her to the Star Temple.
"Let's have a child, shall we?" Bai Suying said softly, but her eyes were exceptionally serious and firm.
Over the years, she had thought a lot. She had imagined Gu Qing returning to the Star Temple and shining brightly.
She had imagined Gu Qing and his Dao companion appearing as a pair, like immortal companions.
She had imagined Gu Qing having no intention of staying with her forever.
After all, Gu Qing had broken his promise.
And her talent could only be considered outstanding. She knew she was not worthy of Gu Qing.
So she wanted a child. There was no other reason; she simply wanted a child to keep her company.
As for pursuing the Great Dao, pursuing longevity and eternal life, that was too distant.
How many prodigies were there in the world, but how many of them could ultimately achieve the Dao and attain longevity?
"Ah?" Gu Qing was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but then he met Bai Suying's pleading gaze.
Gu Qing was silent for a moment, then said: "Why do you suddenly want a child? Your talent is not very good to begin with; you should focus on your cultivation."
"I have the Yin Yuan Glazed Body. No matter how hard I try, I won't achieve much." Bai Suying shook her head.
The Yin Yuan Glazed Body was a superior divine body that offered no enhancement to comprehension of the Dao or combat power.
Its only wondrous use was for dual cultivation, making it the top-tier cauldron physique in the world.
"That's not necessarily true. As long as you are willing to work hard, even with a mortal body, I have ways to make you immortal." Gu Qing's words were absolutely not a boast.
He had so many treasures and heaven-defying cultivation methods that could transform a person. It was too simple for him to change someone's physique.
"But..."
"No buts."
"Have you heard of the Glazed Immortal Body? This is an invincible physique comparable to the Supreme Divine Body, free from dust and impurities, with a Dao heart that is spiritually connected."
Gu Qing pointed a finger at her brow, transmitting to her the Yin Yang Great Dao Song, the Bathing Fire Nirvana, and the method of breaking through the cocoon and establishing a new self.
"Go and bid farewell to the Clear Wind Sect. I will take you back to the Star Temple."
"..."
After receiving the cultivation technique and secret art, Bai Suying was beyond shocked, staring blankly at Gu Qing.
Such a heaven-defying cultivation technique and secret art, Gu Qing just gave it to her like that?
And he wanted to take her back to the Star Temple?
Gu Qing had never thought of abandoning her?
Numerous thoughts flashed through Bai Suying's mind, and her peach blossom eyes, like rippling water, welled up with tears.
It turned out, she had been overthinking things all along.
"Do you still want a child now?" Gu Qing asked with a smile, his eyes teasing her.
Bai Suying nodded, then shook her head.
She had wanted a child for hundreds of years.
Because immortality was truly a poison.
Without a strong and steadfast heart, one simply could not endure the long, lonely years.
Ninety percent of the cultivators in the world developed inner demons because of their loneliness.
Therefore, many chose to take disciples, or to find like-minded Dao companions, to have offspring, to transfer and soothe their boundless loneliness.
But now, Gu Qing wanted her, was willing to stay with her forever, and passed on to her a heaven-defying cultivation technique and secret art, giving her hope of attaining immortality.
Naturally, Bai Suying no longer wanted to be distracted.
You should know, the Glazed Immortal Body evolved from the Yin Yuan Glazed Body.
However, evolving into the Glazed Immortal Body was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. It required several transformations of the body and countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to strengthen one's life essence.
And Gu Qing had given her all of these.
Therefore, Bai Suying now only wanted to cultivate diligently, striving to catch up to Gu Qing's footsteps and accompany him for the rest of her life.
Thinking this, Bai Suying's eyes were brimming with smiles that almost overflowed from her sockets. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh of Gu Qing's waist, chiding him.
"You little bastard is truly wicked..." Making her worry for so many nights, afraid of being abandoned.
"Hey, hey!"
"Speak nicely, don't get physical. And here I thought you were a virtuous and gentle empress. The empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire is unworthy of her name." Gu Qing teased.
He wasn't a clairvoyant inside Bai Suying's belly; how could he know what she was imagining?
"Hmph, it's all because you're too bastardly. You're not allowed to go missing again from now on." Bai Suying rubbed the place she had pinched and huffed.
Strangely enough, she also felt that she was not herself when she was with Gu Qing.
She always loved to curse people and would get physical when she was angry. She didn't want to be like that, but she was just so happy.
"Alright, this humble servant will obey your decree!"
Gu Qing smiled, his mind relaxed, chatting with her intermittently, but his heart was wandering beyond the heavens.
He thought that after a period of consolidation, he would begin to prepare for the lightning tribulation.
He might as well take this opportunity to collect some spiritual herb seeds.
After all, the Ruyi Space was vast and boundless, possessing immeasurable Primordial Mother Qi. It would be too wasteful not to utilize it.
Additionally, it was time to harvest the Shi family.
Back then, he had cursed the Shi family. Now, the Shi family had become a cursed forbidden land. Even Saint Realm experts had fallen victim, causing cultivators in the Central God Domain to pale at the mere mention of it.
Seeing that his mind was wandering, Bai Suying said no more and silently came behind Gu Qing, thinking of giving him a massage to help him relax.
However, when she saw the ferocious black dragon behind Gu Qing, Bai Suying's face instantly turned deathly pale.
Her divine soul felt as if it had fallen into the Avici Hell, being gnawed on by countless evil ghosts.
It was as if she had been cursed, possessed by a demon, and transformed into a giant slaughter demon.
