Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 341 [Zhu Xian Side Story] Gu Qing's Resurrection Match

Qingyun Gate, Tongtian Peak, Ancestral Master's Shrine.

Dao Xuan Zhenren held incense in his hand, bowed to the ancestral tablets, and said, "Ancestors above, your unworthy disciple has been fortunate enough to become the leader of Qingyun Sect. Through painstaking efforts, Qingyun has finally returned to its former glory. Now, Fanxiang Valley bows its head, Tianyin Temple retreats from the world, and the Demonic Sect is no match for us. Qingyun Sect has finally ushered in an era of great prosperity..."

After finishing the recitation, Dao Xuan Zhenren turned around and looked at Wan Jianyi, the heads of Qingyun Sect, and Gu Qing, who was being supported by Lu Xueqi.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Qing coughed twice, his lips cracked.

This is not a disguise. The Curse of Devotion completely sacrifices one's own blood and energy. At this time, the three souls and seven spirits are connected with the Nine Netherworld Palace and the place where the spirits return. When the effect of the Three-Day Death Pill is about to wear off, the souls and spirits show signs of dispersing.

Leaving aside the toxicity of the Three-Day Death Pill, the fact that Gu Qing used the Love Curse twice was enough to send him to the deepest hell.

"Peace of mind."

Before Lu Xueqi could speak, Gu Qing spoke first, his smile bleak, and said, "I won't die like this."

Lu Xueqi's face was pale and her expression was sad. She didn't even dare to hold Gu Qing's hand tightly. She just nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes. The Taiji Xuanqing Dao, the Great Brahma Prajna, and even the Immortal Embryo True Method in the Cihang Sword Manual were circulated into Gu Qing's body. She felt that Gu Qing's body was like a sieve, and not a single bit of true essence could be retained.

This is no longer a matter of reversing life and death using the "Immortal Seal Technique".

"……don’t worry."

Gu Qing noticed Lu Xueqi's worry and said, "I can use the Blood-Devouring Bead to absorb the blood energy in my body and capture my soul."

Lu Xueqi nodded emphatically.

Dao Xuan Zhenren walked up to Gu Qing, placed his hand on Gu Qing's pulse, sensed his true energy, and sighed silently. Given Gu Qing's condition, it was already a miracle that he was alive. If he were to be treated in a pharmacy in Heyang City, all the doctors of the time would write a separate prescription for Gu Qing and name the incurable disease after him.

"Do you have any other wishes?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Gu Qing.

Wan Jianyi, the heads of the Qingyun Sect, and the elders all sighed silently. Only by truly facing the Beast God could they know how much Gu Qing had contributed to the world, including pacifying the Ghost King Sect, seizing the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, sweeping away the Fragrant Valley, and expanding the Qingyun Sect outwards...

Gu Qing's contributions to the Qingyun Sect and to all living beings surpass those of all previous patriarchs.

"I……"

Gu Qing opened his mouth, his gaze falling on Lu Xueqi's stunning face. He smiled sadly and said, "Xueqi, immortality may be an unattainable dream, but you have a long future ahead of you. You will meet someone who loves you, and you will be a good mother..."

"do not talk!"

Lu Xueqi broke down completely, burying her face in front of Gu Qing, tears streaming down her face, and said angrily, "I will never marry anyone else!"

Gu Qing reached out and stroked Lu Xueqi's hair, then looked up at Wan Jianyi.

"Master..."

Gu Qing gave a bitter laugh and said, "I'm afraid you can't pass on the art of slaying ghosts and gods to me..."

Wan Jianyi scratched his hair and squatted down in front of Gu Qing. What this traitor had done might be somewhat unorthodox, but it was ultimately a good thing. The "True Lord of Relieving Calamity and Relieving Calamity" that Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple were discussing together was absolutely true.

Because of Gu Qing, Cangsong returned to the right path.

Wan Jianyi also escaped from the ancestral hall because of Gu Qing.

Although it cost me some reputation...

"The secret to slaying demons and gods is very simple. You are very intelligent. I'll explain it to you, and you'll understand..."

Wan Jianyi was about to reveal the secret of slaying ghosts and gods.

"Do not……"

Gu Qing's breath was weak and his eyes were lifeless. He said sadly, "My regret is not that I slew ghosts and gods, but that I lost you, Master. Your talent and wisdom are unparalleled in the world, and many people admire you. I hope you can let go of your stubbornness and find someone who loves you to live a peaceful life..."

This apprentice ruined his reputation, all so that he could have a place to settle down...

Wan Jianyi was about to shed tears.

"Master..."

Gu Qing then asked, "What do you think of Master Shuiyue?"

Before these many chief disciples, Wan Jianyi raised his head and looked at Master Shuiyue beside him. The two looked at each other. Master Shuiyue was over a hundred years old, but he still lowered his eyes and looked to the side, his face slightly flushed.

"This……"

In his haste, Wan Jianyi was unable to respond. Shuiyue was certainly a good choice, but...

"Then let's choose the Vermilion Bird of the Demonic Sect..."

Gu Qing added, "We also need to win over the Demonic Sect. If you marry Zhuque, it will be considered a marriage alliance with the Demonic Sect."

Vermilion Bird?
Wan Jianyi thought of that ethereal woman. A hundred years ago, Zhuque was bright and generous. Not long ago, when Wan Jianyi went to Fox Ridge Mountain with Gu Qing, he saw Zhuque again. She was wearing a veil, her eyes filled with resentment, just staring at him like that...

Wan Jianyi didn't know how to put it.

"If it's a marriage alliance, why not choose me?"

Outside the ancestral hall, a delicate shout rang out. The chief disciples of the Qingyun Sect looked out and saw Biyao, dressed in emerald green and wearing the Hehuan Bell, looking at the ancestral hall with a hint of anger on her face. Beside her was Zhuque, who had been talking earlier.

Lu Xueqi moved slightly, standing in front of Gu Qing, her eyes cold as she looked at Bi Yao.

Ten years ago, Gu Qing's identity was different. He left Qingyun on the surface, but in private he often met with Lu Xueqi at Xiaozhu Peak. Whenever there was a "scandal" outside, Gu Qing would return to Xiaozhu Peak to explain. Lu Xueqi knew what kind of thoughts Biyao had been harboring in her entanglement with Gu Qing over the past ten years.

"Do you also want to be locked up in the Illusion Moon Cave?"

Lu Xueqi asked coldly.

This ancestral hall is located in the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain, shrouded by the Zhuxian Sword Formation. It is impossible to fly here by sword. The fact that Biyao and Zhuque were able to suddenly appear here is because Qingyun Sect has shown them grace by allowing them to visit the Ghost King in the Huanyue Ancient Cave.

This ambitious and ruthless warlord, who aspires to dominate the world, has begun a new phase of forbearance.

Biyao pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and quickly stepped forward, bypassing Lu Xueqi's obstruction. She looked directly at Gu Qing and said, "You want Qingyun Sect to flourish, and you also want the Holy Sect to follow your pace. But my Holy Sect has its own rules. Even if it has declined for thousands of years, it will always rise from the ashes. If you want us to sincerely submit, then marry me!"

Biyao's eyes were red as she looked at Gu Qing and said, "I'll be your widow!"

Great acting!

Gu Qing looked at Bi Yao in shock. Everything that was happening now was something that Gu Qing and Bi Yao had planned together.

For the past ten years, Gu Qing has been traveling the world, occasionally flirting with Bi Yao, making Bi Yao feel both love and hate for him. However, the final step for the two of them requires them to act together.

"Anyway, you won't live for more than a few days."

Biyao said through tears, "You don't even have the strength to consummate the marriage... but I don't care."

The leaders of Qingyun Sect, including Dao Xuan Zhenren, all looked at the weeping Bi Yao and felt that this demonic woman of the Demonic Sect was indeed bold in love and hate, able to say such things openly in public.

Lu Xueqi's eyes were complex, yet contained a hidden murderous intent.

Biyao remained dignified and fearless.

"After you marry me, the feud between Qingyun and the Holy Sect can be resolved..."

Biyao crouched down, looking at Gu Qing before her. She wasn't sure if Gu Qing would survive. She reached out and gently took Gu Qing's hand, saying, "Just consider it for the sake of all living beings..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing glanced sideways at Lu Xueqi.

"no!"

Lu Xueqi said resolutely, "We've been separated for the past ten years, and I've already been quite sensible. Gu Qing has already given everything for the sake of the world. Is this last title going to be taken away too?"
Gu Qing smiled and touched her forehead to Lu Xueqi's.

Biyao's gaze was gloomy as she looked at the couple before her. Suddenly, she spoke in a low voice, "The Three-Day Death Pill was made by Mr. Ghost, and the Love Curse is a method of the Holy Sect. Gu Qing, whom you see as hopeless, may still be saved in the eyes of our Holy Sect." Upon hearing this, the entire audience was horrified.

Lu Xueqi stared intently at Biyao, who remained fearless and simply reached out to grab Gu Qing.

This time, Lu Xueqi gave in.

Because of Gu Qing's lifespan, the wedding was arranged quickly. However, the location of the wedding made the elders and disciples of Qingyun Sect somewhat uneasy.

"A grand wedding at the Jade Purity Palace on Tongtian Peak!"

"Shouldn't the bridal chamber be arranged in the ancestral temple?"

"The sect leader is truly foolish!"

There was a lot of resentment within the Qingyun Sect. Xiao Yicai and Qi Hao stood silently facing each other in front of the Rainbow Bridge.

"Did Gu Qing really get the Seven Star Sword?"

Qi Hao asked.

Xiao Yicai remained silent. The Seven Star Sword Style was passed down by the sect leader, and Gu Qing had mastered it. The Illusion Moon Ancient Cave was only accessible to the sect leader, and Gu Qing had gone there. Now Gu Qing was holding her wedding at the Jade Purity Palace. What else could he say?

"I heard from Master that Gu Qing has already reached the Taiqing Realm."

Xiao Yicai remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"forget it."

Qi Hao immediately became docile. He was currently fighting desperately, but he was still only at the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm. Facing a genius like Gu Qing, he was truly struggling to defeat him even with all his might.

Dazhu Peak.

Tian Ling'er leaned close to Tian Buyi and Su Ru and whispered, "Father, Mother, I... I also want to marry Senior Brother Gu."

Tian Buyi's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Impossible!"

Su Ru also looked helpless and said, "Ling'er, you should be able to distinguish between admiration and liking." As she said this, Su Ru and Tian Buyi exchanged a glance.

A hundred years ago, Su Ru admired Wan Jianyi, considering him a rare and extraordinary man. At that time, Tian Buyi was short, fat, and inarticulate, and would often embarrass himself in front of others. But somehow, Su Ru became attached to Tian Buyi. After their journey to the wilderness, Wan Jianyi brought back the Mo Xue Sword for Su Ru, but Su Ru resolutely chose Tian Buyi.

In Su Ru's opinion, Tian Ling'er is just like her now. As long as she calms down and makes a good judgment, things will be fine.

After all, Gu Qing...

Su Ru recalled the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang. At such a young age, Gu Qing had reached the Taiqing Realm and combined Taoist, Buddhist, demonic, and witchcraft arts. He fought against beasts and demons for the sake of all living beings and was also exceptionally handsome. After silently recognizing Gu Qing's merits, Su Ru suddenly felt that if Gu Qing had been born a hundred years earlier, Tian Buyi would probably have been out of the picture.

After all, Gu Qing has a unique quality: he can coax people into being happy with just a few words. Even the aloof Lu Xueqi is often made to blush with embarrassment by Gu Qing's coaxing.

Thinking about it this way, Su Ru looked at Tian Ling'er and felt that Tian Ling'er was serious.

"Ling'er, you want to marry Gu Qing. Does Gu Qing know?"

Su Ru asked seriously.

Tian Buyi was greatly surprised to hear Su Ru's question. He looked at Tian Ling'er and saw that her eyes were slightly red and tears were about to fall. She sobbed, "I told you, Senior Brother Gu sighed and then taught me many secrets. He told me to focus on cultivation and broaden my horizons first... But he's almost dead."

Tian Buyi sighed silently, feeling that Gu Qing had really handled this aspect perfectly.

But Tian Ling'er's heart was filled with obsession.

"father!"

Tian Ling'er raised her head, looked at Tian Buyi seriously, and said, "I want to remain a widow for Senior Brother Gu!"

"Bastard!"

Tian Buyi could no longer bear it and reached out to slap Tian Ling'er.

Tian Ling'er stood with her neck stiff, looking like she was arguing her point.

"Ugh……"

Tian Buyi felt like he had committed a sin!

Gu Qing is fine, and Tian Ling'er is fine too, so what exactly is the problem?

There's something wrong with love!

Tian Buyi rubbed his face hard and said, "Lu Xueqi and Biyao are not easy to deal with. If you're not afraid of losing face, then run over there. Anyway, that kid won't live much longer..."

Either three days, or five days...

Let my daughter have no regrets.

However, to Tian Buyi's surprise, more than ten days later, Gu Qing was still not dead. Worried, Tian Buyi went to Tongtian Peak and saw that a house had been specially built on the back mountain. Gu Qing, Lu Xueqi and Biyao lived there. Gu Qing was pale and weak. Lu Xueqi carefully stayed by his side, while his daughter Tian Ling'er was busy serving tea and water to people.

"Uncle-Master Tian."

Gu Qing's voice was somewhat weak as he said, "There is a Qiankun Lock inside the Fulong Cauldron, which helped me lock the energy in my body. Not long ago, Tianyin Temple sent me a Qiankun Reincarnation Disc, which helped stabilize my soul. This barely extended my life by one or two years, but my blood and energy are declining, and I have less than a month left to live."

A month and a half passed.

Tian Buyi came to Tongtian Peak again and saw Gu Qing sitting in front of the stove, shivering, while Tian Ling'er was carefully brewing medicine.

"My blood energy was already extremely depleted, but the Blood Devouring Bead is my treasure for refining blood, and it has actually begun to feed back my blood energy."

With a hint of surprise, Gu Qing said, "With this power, I can last for another month or two."

Tian Buyi nodded.

After half a year, Tian Buyi discovered that Tian Ling'er had started staying out all night. He came to Tongtian Peak again and was shocked to see that Tian Ling'er already had a room in Gu Qing's house.

"Senior Sister Lu has returned to Xiaozhu Peak, and Sister Biyao has gone to the Illusion Moon Cave to visit her father."

Tian Ling'er answered cautiously, "As for Senior Brother Gu... he... went down the mountain to buy things."

"He's better? How did he get better?"

Tian Buyi quickly asked.

Tian Ling'er silently combed her hair, bowing her head shyly... If she had offered herself earlier, Senior Brother Gu might have recovered long ago... She couldn't think like that; Senior Brother Gu had only just comprehended the dual cultivation healing method...

Outside Heyang City.

As soon as Gu Qing landed, a group of people surrounded her.

"Zhou Yin, an assassin from the Hall of Longevity; Fan Xiong, Cheng Wuya, and Duan Rushan from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Gu Qing called out the names of these people one by one, looked up at the sky, and felt as if Ye Tiandi was being besieged by Yuan Shen and others in his later years.

"Persistence pays off, we've finally waited for you."

Fan Xiong laughed heartily. He was the eldest disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and also the current sect leader. Looking at Gu Qing's gaunt face, Fan Xiong felt that his chance to make a name for himself was now.

"Ugh……"

With a flick of his sleeve, Gu Qing revealed a black and white Tai Chi diagram, which enveloped Zhou Yin, Fan Xiong, and the others like a piece of cloth.

At this moment, the power of the Dao was beyond description, and the cultivators trembled in fear.

Gu Qing, who used the Love Curse twice and took the Three-Day Death Pill, won the revival match!
