Chapter 130: Your Master Wants You to Become the Divine Son
"Brother Gu Qing, can I live on the Goddess Peak?" Living next door to you would be perfect.
She didn't dare say the last part aloud, and at that moment, Chu Ling'er's collagen-filled face flushed bright red.
Although Gu Qing was her idol—the light in her heart and the goal she chased all her life—her alchemy accomplishments were entirely thanks to him.
Every day, she had asked her elder sister about Gu Qing, listening to stories of his feats. The more she heard, the more she realized her own shortcomings, and the harder she pushed herself.
Whenever she heard that Gu Qing's talent was unparalleled, she cultivated even more fiercely—just so she could one day meet him.
But until recently, she had only seen Gu Qing as a brother figure.
After seeing Bai Suying's intimacy with him, she suddenly didn't want to be the "little sister" anymore.
If she could become his Dao companion, she could stay by his side every day like Sister Ying, never parting from him.
Just picturing that made the pure, innocent Chu Ling'er blush furiously. Her small head burrowed directly into Gu Qing's chest.
"No."
Gu Qing held the soft, fragrant girl in his arms, smiling faintly as he refused coldly.
In truth, he did want to keep the little girl around—after all, who didn't like a cute, soft-tempered girl?
But she was simply too young.
Moreover, this was Zhimeng's domain.
Zhimeng liked peace and disliked being disturbed by outsiders.
"Ah…"
Chu Ling'er wilted, her large, bright eyes suddenly losing their sparkle, dimming like faded starlight.
Then, as if realizing something, her face went pale. She clutched Gu Qing's robe nervously.
She had never been far from home in her life, always growing up under her family's protection.
If Gu Qing didn't take care of her—what would she do?
She had heard that the disciples of the Star Temple were all powerful. Would they bully her?
Sensing her fear, Gu Qing rubbed her small head gently and said in a calm, reassuring tone,
"Don't be afraid. With me in the Star Temple, no one will dare bully you."
"If you don't mind, you can temporarily stay on my peak. When your elder sister returns, you can move over to her place."
The little girl was naïve and inexperienced, like a blank page. Throwing her into an unfamiliar place was bound to make her afraid.
Unfortunately, Gu Qing didn't have the formation token for Chu Yao's cave dwelling, so he could only house her in his own for now.
"I don't mind, I don't mind!"
Chu Ling'er's big eyes lit up again, full of joy.
She wasn't stupid—her little mind was quick.
From his tone, she immediately realized Gu Qing's predicament.
This was Zhimeng's territory. It wasn't that Gu Qing didn't want her around—he simply couldn't make that decision here.
After arranging for her Inner Sect disciple identity, Gu Qing gave her a few more instructions before leaving.
"That little girl—have you settled her in?"
Bai Suying glanced sideways, her phoenix eyes elegant yet sharp, her tone laced with jealousy.
"Tsk, the Empress is jealous. This sinner deserves punishment!"
Gu Qing instantly played along, always delighted to tease his "Empress."
"Enough, you little scoundrel. You're rotten to the core. Such a young age, and already learning wicked tricks!"
Bai Suying's mix of feigned anger and shyness was breathtakingly beautiful.
"I see someone's gotten bold—daring to rebel against heaven itself."
Gu Qing frowned and scolded sternly. This little empress was becoming far too audacious.
If he didn't discipline her now, she might one day end up riding on his head.
That said, after a long day, Gu Qing was both hungry and tired, so he ordered her to start preparing a barbecue.
Bai Suying rolled her eyes but didn't argue. She deftly set up the grill and brushed honey over the meat.
After an hour, a delicious feast was ready. Once Gu Qing had eaten his fill, Bai Suying said softly, "You little scoundrel, your talent is too terrifying. I'm afraid I'll only disappoint you."
She was already at the peak of the King Realm—don't ask how she advanced so fast.
The reason was simple: Gu Qing's physique.
His body was countless times more extraordinary than hers.
After all, he had transformed his very foundation, evolving into an innate constitution within the Venerable Realm.
Just the aura he exuded caused her soul and body to continuously evolve.
It was practically divine medicine.
"Don't worry. I have a treasure that can let you also transform into an innate constitution."
"Calm your mind—I'll take you somewhere."
Gu Qing smiled mysteriously, preparing to draw Bai Suying into the Ruyi Space.
Inside was an endless sea of Xuanhuang Mother Qi, with tenfold time acceleration, combined with the secret arts he had provided.
With these conditions, Bai Suying would undoubtedly undergo her transformation and become a peerless prodigy.
After all, she carried the fate of a destined heroine.
Her nirvanic rebirth would not fail.
Moreover, according to the laws of the cultivation world, once the heroine gave her heart, she would never betray.
Thus, Gu Qing had no concerns that Bai Suying might expose the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower.
"This…"
When Bai Suying entered the Ruyi Space, she was completely stunned.
Xuanhuang Mother Qi.
It was Xuanhuang Mother Qi infused with innate Dao resonance.
This was the very foundation of heaven and earth, the source of all things.
Only now did Bai Suying understand why Gu Qing's power was so terrifying, why his breakthroughs came so swiftly.
With such a vast supply of Xuanhuang Mother Qi, even a pig could evolve into a god.
However…
Bai Suying's expression grew solemn as she looked at Gu Qing and said gravely, "You shouldn't have brought me here."
Though she would never betray him, the cultivation world was full of sinister techniques—soul-searching, illusions, bewitchment…
If she ever fell victim to one, all her secrets would be exposed.
If the existence of the Ruyi Space were revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry. Since I dared to bring you here, I'm not afraid of anyone discovering it."
Gu Qing smiled. In this regard, he believed no one could threaten him—except perhaps Jiang Yu.
Besides, how many "accidents" could really happen in this world?
Gu Qing was not one of those paranoid protagonists who constantly saw betrayal in every shadow.
"Focus on your cultivation. Don't burden yourself with unnecessary worries." Gu Qing gently caressed her soft black hair, speaking warmly.
"Alright." Bai Suying nodded firmly, though hesitation flickered in her eyes. She wanted to ask him not to bring other women into this place.
The more people who knew, the easier the secret would spread.
But such words were too awkward to say aloud.
After Gu Qing left, Bai Suying pressed her red lips together, her heart full of determination. I must become an immortal, a goddess.
…
"Master."
Gu Qing entered the grand hall, his expression puzzled, unable to guess why Zhimeng had summoned him.
Zhimeng gazed at him in silence for a moment before speaking softly, "Your master intends to make you the Divine Son. What do you think?"
"Ah?"
Gu Qing was stunned.
Divine Son?
That was the Goddess's nominal Dao companion.
But they were master and disciple!
And if he remembered correctly, Zhimeng had killed the previous Divine Son.
So what exactly did she mean by this?
"Stop overthinking. I've decided to step down as Goddess and have Qingyue take over."
The position of Goddess no longer brought her any real benefit.
Gu Qing's status within the Star Temple already surpassed that of the Divine Son, but formally, he still lacked the title.
It was important—Divine Son and Goddess held exalted ranks not only within the Star Temple, but even after ascending to the Immortal Realm, they would be recognized by the Star Dao Sect.
The reason Zhimeng had been unpunished for killing the former Divine Son was because she had cultivated the Supreme Scripture—The Lunar-Solar Chaos Record.
This was the highest scripture of the Star Temple.
In fact, in terms of potential, The Lunar-Solar Chaos Record surpassed even the Zhoutian Star Scripture.
Thus, Gu Qing had to become the Divine Son, while Su Qingyue would become the Goddess—so the two could cultivate the Lunar-Solar Chaos Record together.
After hearing Zhimeng's explanation, Gu Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Was this the Old Ancestor's idea?"
"No."
Zhimeng shook her head. "That old fossil only seeks the Dao. He believes love between men and women merely slows cultivation."
So even knowing the importance of the Lunar-Solar Chaos Record, he had refused to let Gu Qing practice it.
In his eyes, the Zhoutian Star Scripture was the supreme path.
And since one's energy was finite, mastering one art to perfection was the truest way to the heavens.
"You needn't concern yourself with him. Your comprehension is unmatched—learning multiple supreme arts will only make you stronger," Zhimeng added.
Since she had spoken this clearly, Gu Qing no longer refused and nodded. "I will follow Master's will."
"Good." Zhimeng smiled with satisfaction, then asked, "What are your plans next?"
"I'll enter seclusion for a while and sort through my Dao techniques," Gu Qing replied without hesitation.
He had obtained the Reincarnation Dao Scripture, and though he had integrated some of it into the Chaotic Immortality Scripture, it was only the surface layer.
He hadn't even truly stepped through the door of the Reincarnation Dao Scripture.
There was also the Xuantian Sword Canon,Myriad Sword Unification Scripture, and Eternal Azure Dragon Transformation Art.
All these supreme methods—he had only scratched their surface.
Gu Qing was eager to master them completely.
Once he did, his foundation would ascend to an entirely new level.
