From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Chapter 67 You've changed. How have you changed so much?

"Long time no see, late Qing Dynasty."

Gu Heting landed on the pavilion and tilted his head to look at Xiang Wanqing in front of him.

"That stinky bird, I knew it was you." Xiang Wanqing kicked Gu Heting, the little girl pursing her lips with disdain. She'd been waiting for days without a word. His return was a shock, and he'd grown so much.

"My child, you are still alive."

"Zhao Huailian immediately ran towards Shang Rui."

He wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes, looking somewhat emotional. The child had finally received news of his safety.

"You stinky bird, you really like to play the good guy. What a nuisance." Although Xiang Wanqing said this, she still rubbed Gu Heting's wings.

After spending several months together, Xiang Wanqing had come to regard the little bird as family.

But now, Gu Heting has become so enormous.

A giant bird, several meters long, stood in the corridor. Its enormous size was quite imposing.

"Cough cough..."

'

A deep cough shattered the harmonious scene. Xiang Zheng walked step by step towards Gu Heting, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing. He looked at Gu Heting and said...

"The Daotai (official in charge) has been completed."

"Brother Guo Heting, you have already established your foundation."

The disciples turned around.

Those around him whispered among themselves as they watched Gu Heting, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"The alchemy elder has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

Didn't he just start practicing Qi last week?

"That's way too fast!"

'

'

Every cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage will form a Dao Platform above their own Dantian Sea. This Dao Platform is infinitely variable and unique. Its transformation is not achieved overnight.

Gu Heting's Taoist altar was transformed into the Water Lotus Heart.

The four altars, corrupted by the Heavenly Evil Eye, are imbued with a bloodthirsty aura. The water lilies, originally representing purity and detachment, now have several black petals.

Xiang Zheng frowned for the same reason.

He had already awakened his spiritual vision as a cultivator. Upon closer inspection, he saw a contaminated spot in the cultivator's dantian.

He frowned at this.

"Gu Heting, can you come with me?" Xiang Zheng asked in a low voice, looking at Gu Heting with a worried expression.

"I'll go too."

""

Xiang Wanqing seconded the motion. Xiang Zheng didn't say anything. Xiang Zheng gestured, and the two of them left.

Some disciples were curious, but given Gu Heting's current status as an alchemy elder, they all dropped the matter.

Walk forward along the corridor.

They soon arrived at Gu Heting's familiar alchemy room, where the fragrance of the alchemy furnace still lingered. Xiang Zheng, however, was sitting on a futon.

Xiang Zheng said, "You've changed so much since I last saw you, Brother Gu Heting. The Dao Platform is complete, and the Dao Fruit has been forged. Such a great change in just three days."

Seeing Xiang Zheng say this, Gu Heting could only smile.

If it weren't for Red Dragon and Whale Li risking their lives to secure that opportunity...

Perhaps he is still in the Qi Refining stage.

"This is not what I originally wanted."

He had condensed the Three Flowers Dao Platform at the Qi Refining Realm. Xiang Zheng only condensed the Three Flowers Dao Embryo at the age of 111; his return this time must have been due to some great opportunity. However, the biggest problem was that their Xiaoshan Sect had always been a passive and reclusive sect.

In the five regions of Central Continent.

Such a small sect is naturally no match for the four major sects. Whether attracting those two mother-daughter pairs is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.

Xiang Zheng squinted, staring blankly at Gu Heting.

Gu Heting felt uneasy under their gaze, and his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Xiang Wanqing.

"Dad, why are you being so fierce?"

Xiang Zheng finally couldn't hold back his anger and rubbed his eyes. Under his gaze, he felt that Gu Heting's abdomen was filled with an evil aura.

"The aura of bloodlust is so intense. I never ask others if they have any special opportunities, but it seems there's something wrong with yours."

Gu Heting's eyes widened; some things could no longer be hidden. His breathing became shallow and he hesitated for a few steps.

Finally, he told Xiang Zheng and Xiang Wan the whole story.

The moment I stepped through the Red Forest. And then, my meeting with Shang Rui and Zhao Huailian.

How will he eventually reach the Foundation Establishment Realm with the help of the Red Dragon?

Then came the bloody battle with the evil bees.

But he truly couldn't understand that last Heavenly Evil Eye. At this point, Xiang Zheng's brows furrowed. His fingers tapped his knee, as if pondering the origin of that eye.

I wanted to close my eyes again, but then I remembered something from the past.

"Gu Heting, do you know how the Blood Demon Sect came to be? This sect is one of the oldest demonic sects. It is ranked alongside the Demon Fiend Sect and the Joyful Union Sect as one of the three major demonic sects."

Gu Heting was completely confused.

How could he know these things when he's only a few days old? After all, he's been alive for less than a year; how could he possibly understand the history of those demonic cults?

"600 years ago, a genius slayer emerged from the Demonic Sect. He personally refined the Blood Ancestor of the Demonic Sect. And when he ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, he created the Heavenly Evil Eye with the blood of three cities."

""

"Hundreds of thousands of people were refined by him."

""

"In the end, this person was rejected by both the righteous and the evil factions. He's a bit like Qin Wuxie now."

2

"Does Xiang Zheng even know Qin Wuxie?" Gu Heting's expression turned somewhat off. Qin Wuxie had become an insurmountable obstacle in Gu Heting's life. His brows furrowed, appearing somewhat unnatural.

However, Xiang Zheng noticed Gu Heting's unease.

"Brother Gu Heting, I truly consider you a member of the Xiaoshan Sect." Xiang Zheng paused, glancing at his somewhat naive daughter. Then he smiled, "I hope you won't look for that Qin Wuxie anymore."

The daughter looked a little confused. She tilted her head and smiled at him a few times.

"Father, who is Qin Wuxie?"

Zheng did not answer his daughter's question.

Xiang Zheng looked at Gu Heting, who was deliberately avoiding the question, and asked, "Do you really consider our Xiaoshan Sect as family?"

The Minor Three Sects are not actually a large sect. Most of the time, we just stick together for mutual support.

Gu Heting felt a great weight lift from his shoulders.

His eyes were somewhat dull. Then he nodded: "These past few days with Xiaoshanzong, in my heart, Xiaoshanzong has always been family."

""

"Okay, okay."

Xiang Zheng composed himself and patiently said, "No matter what your relationship with Qin Wuxie is, I hope you never see him again. No matter how much you hate him, don't look for him again."

"That guy is a ruthless madman."

"He doesn't even have the most basic human emotions."

Zheng is right.

This grudge against Jing Li must be avenged. Gu Heting choked up a little, but after a long while, he nodded in agreement.

"I see."

"Tang Jingxuan, the second young master of Tangjiabao, is looking for you. He has something to ask you, but you're not going in the late Qing Dynasty?"

'

The little girl stomped her foot in protest.

But after thinking about it, all I could do was stare blankly.

Gu Heting nodded upon hearing this.

That talisman-making genius. The second young master of Tang Family Fort. He has now been appointed to a critical mission, and it seems the Corpse Immortal of Tang Family Fort may erupt once again.

Perhaps this chaotic situation...

We really need his Heavenly Evil Eye.

"I see."
