Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 363 Mortal Heavenly Shepherd
His background was exposed, and he was startled by Gu Qing.

The stunningly beautiful girl, who had transformed from a celestial lotus, took several steps back, while Tu Shan Yue glanced at him.

"Why are you here? The people from the demon realm didn't come. You actually got here before them. Impressive."

Gu Qing: "...You can't say that."

With a wave of his hand, a similar rocking chair appeared next to Tu Shanyue, and he lay down on it, closing his eyes.

"It has nothing to do with the demon realm. I just want to tell you something."

"Go ahead and say it. We're comrades in arms, so being able to steal a year or two of free time is already enough for me."

Judging by the time, Tu Shanyue has been missing for almost two months.

It's true that she lived a happy life for a year or two.

"In short, the war in the North Sea has come to an end. Due to some reasons, a rift has arisen between the immortals and demons. In order to avoid being instigated and exploited by others, the two races have decided to form a marriage alliance."

Tu Shan Yue paused in her fanning, and struggled to get up.

"A marriage between immortals and demons? That's never happened in history, and there must be quite a few opponents."

"really."

"No one in the Heavenly Palace approves of this marriage alliance, mainly because they don't want their descendants to fall into this fire pit and waste their precious youth."

"Ha, a bunch of hypocrites! The demon race looks down on the incompetent immortal race, yet they dare to despise them! Bah!"

"Therefore, the Emperor decreed that his grandson, the Medicine Immortal Venerable Qi Yue, be the first choice to marry a direct descendant of the Demon Emperor, setting an example and pioneering a new path in history, thus laying the foundation for peace between the immortal and demon races."

"Wait... the descendant of the Demon Emperor... she agreed?"

"nature."

Tu Shan Yue Ren stood directly on the rocking chair, looking down at Gu Qing with a somewhat ominous expression.

"You came to find me, the candidate for Demon Emperor? You wouldn't happen to be me, would you?!"

"The Red King is as clever as ever."

"what?"

The two stared at each other, and Tu Shanyue's first thought was to refuse. She had never met Qi Yue before, so how could she make a promise to spend the rest of her life with her?

However, she had many concerns and couldn't speak, a situation that greatly surprised Gu Qing.

"I thought you would firmly refuse, but now it seems you are also a guy who is held hostage by your tribe, unable to truly be carefree and at ease."

After pondering for a long time, Tu Shanyue sat down and said with a wry smile.

"You do not understand."

"I grew up on the battlefield. At the age of nine, I slayed evil spirits in the evil land and fought against the Blood Sea Demon Clan on the border between demons and monsters. Over the past tens of thousands of years, I have witnessed the brutality of the demons."

"If it can bring peace to the people of the demon realm, personal sacrifice is nothing."

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. He could understand the situation. After all, the Eight Desolate Demon Clan of the Cangwu Realm had always been a major concern for the human race. If you put yourself in their shoes, how similar their situations were.

However, the Cangwu people had no powerful backers and could only forge their own path through bloodshed.

If the demon realms of mountains and seas could form a marriage alliance, it would indeed have a significant impact on the situation, but...

"Don't trust the immortals too much. Even if they form a marriage alliance, they may not fully support the demon realm in its defense. Their attention is still more focused on the Fallen God Abyss."

"I know."

The two then fell silent, while the fairy lotus girl beside them spoke softly.

"Big brother, who are you? Why did you suddenly break into my house?"

"I had almost forgotten about you."

"You can call me Feng Xuan, what should I call you?"

Gu Qing could tell at a glance that the girl's origins were from the Celestial Lotus Realm of the Azure Lotus Continent. She would usually join the Azure Lotus Immortal Clan as a new member. Why she was in the mortal realm was a question.

"My name is Qing Shu. My brother will be back soon. He has been taking care of the injured stinky fox these past few days."

"Heh~" Tu Shan Yue chuckled in dissatisfaction, rubbing her hands together, eager to let Qing Shu know why glutinous rice cakes are made of rice.

Just then.

The courtyard gate creaked open, and an ordinary person walked in carrying a basket filled with various goods and dried medicinal herbs.

They appear to be struggling to make a living, but in reality, their clothes are made of high-quality fabrics, though the colors are a bit plain, there are no other flaws.

His features were well-defined and regular; while not exceptionally handsome, he was still a handsome man of average appearance, somewhat resembling the man before he acquired the phoenix bloodline.

Now, Gu Qing is more attractive.

"elder brother."

Qing Shu jogged over, took the carrying pole and basket from them, and peered inside with curiosity.

The mortal chuckled and patted her head.

"Don't worry, little glutton, I've bought everything."

"This brother is..."

Gu Qing had stood up at some point. In his perception, Qing Shu's brother was as weak as an ordinary person, and his life essence was not vigorous. He would live to be seventy or eighty years old at most.

However, the divine power residing in the Niwan Palace is immense, as deep as an abyss or a prison. Facing it suddenly is like standing in front of a high mountain, making one somewhat hesitant.

It should be noted that Gu Qing had never encountered anyone with a stronger divine sense than himself in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

This power was hidden in an ordinary person whom I encountered suddenly.

It was truly terrifying that he couldn't even see through the other party's cultivation level...

Could it be the Emperor who is not in the Heavenly Palace? No, he has seen the Emperor before. Although the Emperor is also very powerful, in terms of divine sense alone, he is at most on par with him.

Heaven and Earth.

Only one person can reach this level: the only ancient god who has survived to this day!

The mortal maintained his warm and welcoming demeanor, awaiting Gu Qing's reply.

After thinking about it, he decided not to expose it.

"My name is Feng Xuan, and I am here to see the Crimson King."

"Red King? Moon Fox?"

"Yes."

Tu Shan Yue: "Hey, mortal, how many times have I told you I am a demon king? Stop calling me 'fox' all the time."

"I've cooked dinner, do you want some?"

"eat!"

The situation in the courtyard in the human realm was somewhat strange. Tu Shan Yue had been tamed completely, as this person was well-versed in the art of feeding her and had a firm grip on her stomach.

Even Gu Qing, who was used to eating delicacies, had to admit that the skill was almost like the Dao, and the taste experience had reached its peak.

"Brother Tianmu, you have an extraordinary spirit. It's such a waste for you to stay in one place. Have you never thought about making a name for yourself and sweeping away the injustices of the world?"

After a hearty meal and drinks, Tu Shan Yue and Qing Shu went to the mountains to find pheasants to prepare for their next meal. Gu Qing, on the other hand, spoke with veiled meaning, testing the attitude of this deity.

Since he was able to discover the other party, the other party could naturally discover his extraordinary abilities; neither of them wanted to point it out.

"Life is long and uncertain. Tianmu only wants to enjoy the happiness that all things in the world bring while he is alive. Peace is also a choice."

"Some people choose to make a name for themselves, while others choose to be good wives and mothers. Everyone is different. You don't necessarily have to pursue what everyone likes. Ask your heart and you will find true peace."

Gu Qing remained noncommittal. In his view, no matter what one wanted, strength was the primary factor. How could one achieve one's desires without effort? And by what right would one achieve one's desires?
Gods, born at the pinnacle, find it hard to understand the meaning of hard work. What others can achieve with a simple gesture requires hundreds or thousands of years of effort to even have a chance of success.

Tianmu's incarnation as a mortal hiding in the human world is itself a form of freedom and capital brought about by power.

"If one is burdened with responsibility and has no choice but to do it or fight for it, what then is the explanation?"
