Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 397 Father Qing, Mother Chan

Outside Jinguang Cave, a misty rain fell.

Gu Qing and Yang Chan stood side by side. The cold wind blew in from time to time, but when it reached Gu Qing's side, the cold wind turned into warmth, and Yang Chan's hair was not wet at all.

"This is the Lotus Lantern."

Yang Chan showed Gu Qing the artifact and said, "The Goddess Nuwa left this magic weapon in the Three Realms. The Immortal Taiyi bestowed it upon me, saying that it would resolve a great calamity in the world. But with you, this storm has passed."

Previously, the Milky Way breached its banks, bringing calamity to the world.

In the Heavenly Court, Gu Qing used his extraordinary power to reverse the Milky Way, directly resolving this calamity on earth and making it disappear.

Gu Qing reached out and took the Lotus Lantern, stroking it gently.

As one of the world's top artifacts, the Lotus Lantern has many functions such as protecting its owner, purifying, unleashing bursts of power, healing, resurrection, and training. It is almost omnipotent. However, the Lotus Lantern requires the most basic thing to be used... benevolence.

Only the power of benevolence can control the Lotus Lantern.

In addition, the wick of this Lotus Lantern possesses ten thousand years of magical power. It was with the help of the Lotus Lantern wick that Xiaoyu in the future mastered the Heaven-Splitting Palm.

"Go!"

Gu Qing used his good deeds to transform the light, and the Lotus Lantern naturally emitted a bright light. Since Gu Qing did not have the incantation for the Lotus Lantern, the two simply responded to each other.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chan silently recited the incantation, and the Lotus Lantern naturally emitted light, illuminating the entire world. Within a thousand miles of the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain, the vegetation was renewed, presenting a late spring scene in the gentle winter.

"What are you doing?"

Nezha watched his dead father slowly revive. He had no patience for this, but after noticing the changes outside, he immediately jumped out, his gaze sweeping over Gu Qing, Yang Chan, and the Lotus Lantern.

"Just trying out this amazing device."

Gu Qing returned the Lotus Lantern to Yang Chan, looked at the little Nezha, and said, "You have experienced a life-or-death ordeal, which is a rare opportunity. But your time with Master Taiyi will only go so far. Next, you can go to Master Yuding for further studies."

"Master Yuding has many ruthless skills."

Nezha possesses exceptional talent, capable of soaring through the heavens and diving into the earth at a young age. However, after transforming into a lotus, his potential is locked. In this world of the Lotus Lantern, he is a level below Sun Wukong and Yang Jian. Now, Gu Qingquan is giving him a chance to reach the top.

"What do you mean by saying that's all there is to working with me?"

The voice of Taiyi Zhenren came from inside, extremely annoyed, saying, "Didn't you learn your Seventy-Two Transformations here?"

Gu Qing patted Nezha on the shoulder.

"My master is still atoning for my sins."

Nezha pouted, defending his master.

The current Taiyi Zhenren is resurrecting Li Jing.

Are you sure your master isn't trying to disgust you?

Gu Qing countered with a question.

Nezha: "..."

Taiyi Zhenren: "..."

Li Jing: "..."

All three of them were disgusted.

"okay."

Yang Chan pulled Gu Qing away to prevent Gu Qing from further provoking Nezha and causing him to do something else.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Gu Qing also took the opportunity to leave and bid farewell to Nezha. How Li Jing was resurrected was Li Jing's business, and Gu Qing had no intention of staying here to protect him.

Reaching out to take Yang Chan's hand, Gu Qing transformed into a beam of light, carrying Yang Chan as they floated through the clouds.

"Where are we going?"

Yang Chan asked curiously.

"Let me take you for a walk to clear your mind."

Gu Qing said.

"Relax?"

A hint of sadness appeared in Yang Chan's eyes.

After receiving the Lotus Lantern, Yang Chan wanted to avert a great calamity for the Three Realms. However, now that the calamity has been averted, her mother has been rescued, and the matter of Nezha and Li Jing has passed, Yang Chan, who possesses magical powers and wields extraordinary treasures, feels a sense of loneliness.

The once harmonious family lost a pillar after Yang Tianyou's departure.

"Actually, I got angry because of you that day."

Gu Qing suddenly spoke up, saying, "I told you how to save your father, and then I heard from Chang'e that your father's soul had been scattered. At that time, I was enduring it, until the Jade Emperor released the Weak Water of the Milky Way again..."

"I know."

Yang Chan nodded and said.

At the mouth of the Guan River, Gu Qing suddenly reminded her that when the ten suns appeared out of nowhere, Yao Ji's cloak was reversed and fell into the Weak Water. After that, Gu Qing burned down the Heavenly Court and forced the Jade Emperor...

Yang Chan could sense Gu Qing's sincerity in each of these gestures, so when she heard Yao Ji thank Gu Qing, Yang Chan couldn't help but come out to take a look. However, upon seeing Chang'e, she stopped in her tracks.

On the cloud path, the two walked in silence. Suddenly, Gu Qing exclaimed in surprise and looked down. He saw that Fifth Brother and Fox Sister, two foxes, were together and running wildly eastward.

Gu Qing stopped in her tracks, and she and Yang Chan transformed into two beams of light, landing in the mortal realm and blocking the path of the two little demons.

"Ah ah ah..."

When Fifth Brother saw Gu Qing, he cried out in surprise and hid behind Fox Sister.

"You can't hit us anymore!"

The fox spirit was innocent and kind; she spread her arms wide to protect her fifth brother behind her.

"I won't hit you."

Gu Qing looked at Fifth Brother and asked, "Weren't you thrown into the eighteenth level of hell by the Jade Emperor?"

"Senior Lu Ya..."

Upon hearing about the eighteen levels of hell, Fifth Brother felt a pang of fear. His legs went weak, and he knelt down, saying, "The waters in Heaven are too deep. I don't know where I went wrong, but I was thrown into the eighteen levels of hell. The torment of each level is unbearable... Fortunately, not long ago, two heroic young men broke into the underworld and searched for people in each level of hell. I took the opportunity to slip away."

These two heroic young men were Yang Jiao and Yang Jian. When they entered the underworld, they couldn't just do whatever Yama said. So they searched through the eighteen levels of hell, looking at every wronged soul, and only after confirming that their father was not there did they enter the Heavenly Court.

"Good luck."

Gu Qing nodded.

"You're lucky."

Fifth Brother nodded repeatedly and said, "To tell you the truth, I met Fox Sister when we were poor and lowly. After she followed me, I vowed to become an immortal so that my mother-in-law would look at me differently and I could give Fox Sister a decent life..."

If I hadn't seen you in the TV series repeatedly abandoning the fox spirit sister to become an immortal, I would have believed it.

Gu Qing didn't believe it at all.

But Fifth Brother got more and more carried away and said, "We've already decided that in the upcoming Investiture of the Gods war, we'll join the Jie Sect, learn skills from the immortals of the Jie Sect, and then get a good opportunity to enter the Heavenly Court!"

There are indeed many opportunities to enter the Heavenly Court within the Jie Sect.

"Good job."

Gu Qing patted Fifth Brother on the shoulder to encourage him.

After that, Gu Qing and Yang Chan entered the cloud path again, drifting eastward. "Once we're out of the sea, we'll leave the Southern Continent."

Gu Qing said, "Next, we will enter the Ten Continents and Three Islands, which are all in the Eastern Divine Continent region."

The Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, the Southern Continent, and the Northern Continent are all extremely large regions, but outside these continents, customs vary greatly.

"I've heard that most of the immortals of the Jie Sect reside in this land of Dongsheng Shenzhou."

Yang Chan had cultivated under the guidance of Taiyi Zhenren and knew some general information about the Four Continents.

"We have no conflict with them."

Gu Qing said reassuringly.

Gu Qing never intended to participate in the Investiture of the Gods war. Anyway, the sun was Gu Qing's eyes and ears, and he would just watch from afar and enjoy the show.

"Then we must be careful when we go to Dongsheng Shenzhou..."

Just as Yang Chan was about to speak, she was suddenly pulled by Gu Qing and rushed into an island. Inside the cave, she saw that there were many furnishings around, with a huge stone in the middle, which was quite ingenious.

Gu Qing stepped forward, reached out and touched the stone, and said, "It really is here."

“This stone…”

Yang Chan also reached out and touched the stone. With the power of the Lotus Lantern, she sensed that there was a stone embryo inside the stone, which was naturally formed and extraordinary.

"Sister Yang Chan."

Gu Qing looked at Yang Chan and asked, "Do you want to be a mother?"

what?
Yang Chan's face flushed red. She was now physically mature because Yao Ji had forced her to. In terms of actual age, Yang Chan was still young.

Before even starting a relationship, the sudden need to consider having children left Yang Chan feeling dizzy and confused.

"Being a mother is something..."

Yang Chan glanced at Gu Qing, and, upholding the marriage and love concepts of the Shang Dynasty, said, "I'm fine with anything."

Gu Qing secretly teased Yang Chan, but at this moment he remained calm and composed, simply pulling and patting the stone embryo in front of him, and said, "Then let's two of us carve out the stone embryo."

In the story of the Lotus Lantern, Sun Wukong's appearance was not caused by a natural explosion, but by the battle between Jin Chanzi and Yang Jian of the Buddhist sect, which reached Flower Fruit Mountain. There, the two released energy waves, causing the rocks to explode, thus giving birth to Sun Wukong. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva entrusted Yu Ding Zhenren to transform into Subhuti and impart magical powers to Sun Wukong.

"Ah... stone, stone body."

Yang Chan stammered, but then breathed a sigh of relief. Although she treated Gu Qing differently, it was still too fast for the two of them to have a child so soon.

"You shall use the Lotus Lantern."

Gu Qing let Yang Chan go first, while he transformed his magic power and channeled it into Yang Chan's body.

"This magic power..."

As Yang Chan sensed Gu Qing's magical power, golden light gradually emanated from her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes.

Yang Chan knew about the Golden Crow's magical power; it was scorching and domineering, something even immortals wouldn't want to touch. Gu Qing's magical power, though scorching, wasn't suffocating. Instead, it was a powerful warm current that rushed into her limbs and bones, into every orifice of her body, making Yang Chan feel her magical power increasing layer by layer. In a single breath, a tremendous power sprouted, and even a single strand of her hair had the strength to lift a mountain.

Under Gu Qing's magical power, the Lotus Lantern emitted a golden light. In its illumination, everything in the stone embryo became clear, and the spiritual embryo contained within it opened its eyes and saw Gu Qing and Yang Chan. In the illumination and perception, the stone embryo suddenly exploded, and a monkey leaped out from inside, its eyes shooting out golden light, and it charged straight at the Heavenly Palace.

"Who is shaking the Heavenly Court?"

The Jade Emperor lowered his voice and asked a question.

Ever since the Jade Emperor ordered the excavation of the Milky Way, which was then stopped by Gu Qing, who even blocked the Jade Pool by himself and used the Golden Crow Formation to scorch it relentlessly, causing the death of most of the immortals, the Heavenly Court has lost all its dignity. Now, even when the Jade Emperor asks questions, the immortals below rarely answer.

The Heavenly Court remained silent for a long time.

"The Jade Emperor is nothing more than a little monkey."

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West activated her magic power. Upon seeing Sun Wukong, she naturally withdrew her power and reported everything.

"A little monkey."

The Jade Emperor nodded and closed his eyes.

After Gu Qing slapped the Heavenly Court in the face, now even the Jade Emperor feels like a monkey being watched by everyone when he attends court.

"Then don't care."

The Jade Emperor issued an order, determined to severely punish Gu Qing and restore the majesty of the Heavenly Court.

Aolai Country, Flower and Fruit Mountain.

After leaping out, the stone monkey bowed to the heavens and the four directions. When it reached Gu Qing and Yang Chan, it bent its knees and obediently knelt before them.

"How should you address us?"

Gu Qing looked at the stone monkey and asked.

Shi Tou's gaze shifted between Gu Qing and Yang Chan. After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked, "Father? Mother?"

Upon hearing this address, Gu Qing's face lit up with a smile, and Yang Chan beside her couldn't help but chuckle as well. However, she suppressed her smile, glanced at Gu Qing, and nodded, accepting the address.

"good very good!"

Gu Qing stepped forward, examined the future Monkey King, and reached out to touch the Monkey King's head. He found the fur to be shiny and easy to stroke.

"Since you call me father, I can't abandon you from now on."

Gu Qing said.

The stone monkey was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to Gu Qing. Then he looked at Yang Chan and called out, "Mother?"

Yang Chan couldn't help but smile. Her father's death had always been a burden on her heart, making her look melancholy even when she was laughing. But now, seeing the stone monkey being born and hearing its intimate words, Yang Chan also felt a sense of closeness to it.

"Do you have a name?"

Yang Chan examined the monkey closely and asked.

The stone monkey naturally shook its head.

"Then, what about your future name...?"

"Look at his face, he looks like a monkey. How about we give him the surname Sun?"

At this moment, Gu Qing interjected appropriately, then checked the monkey's arms to see if it was carrying anything. Seeing that the monkey was all alone, she continued, "As for your name, you can be called Wukong..."

Gu Qing did not change Sun Wukong's original name.

"I have a name now, my name is Sun Wukong..."

After being given a name, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and jumped around, holding Gu Qing and Yang Chan's hands with great delight. Yang Chan looked at Sun Wukong's lively appearance, and the worry between her brows disappeared.

"From now on, you will call me Father Qing."

Gu Qing, with his arm around Sun Wukong, took advantage of him relentlessly, saying, "As for the one in front of you, just call her Mother Chan..."

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly and called out to Yang Chan, "Mother Chan."

This one address made Yang Chan blush and couldn't help but lightly punch Gu Qing twice.

"good."

At this moment, Gu Qing gently stroked Sun Wukong's head and said, "You were born with a strong foundation. Since that's the case, you should stay by my side and cultivate well. You should know that I'm very good at fighting in groups."

The Jade Emperor is currently preparing for the Investiture of the Gods war. After the war, he will treat Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian with disdain, and may even banish them to the mortal realm. Meanwhile, the many gods recruited on the Investiture of the Gods list...

Gu Qing looked at Sun Wukong in front of him and thought he was nothing more than a defeated opponent of Sun Wukong!
