Chapter 732 Don't Go Crazy
"Shameless..."
The Star Mother, hidden in the shadows, spat inwardly.
The expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall were indescribable.
Okay, they admit they were successfully fooled by Gu Qing.
"Hehe, Master, what are the top scholars (状元) and the third-ranked scholars (探花郎)?"
Qi Tian asked with a grin, his eyes full of curiosity.
He was born a god, never even went to school, and spent his days picking fruit and catching birds on the mountain, fishing and catching shrimp in the river, swinging on the swing with his mother, and playing hide-and-seek.
I've never really been exposed to human civilization.
"It's a long story, but in short, a top scholar is a top scholar, and a third-place scholar is a third-place scholar."
Gu Qing said in a serious tone.
"Oh, so the top scholar is the top scholar and the third-ranked scholar is the third-ranked scholar," Qi Tian said with a sudden realization.
Qi Ruilin's lips twitched.
Sure enough, even though the cult leader is cultured, he is still the same cunning and wicked cult leader.
"Little monkey, would you like to become my disciple?" Gu Qing asked.
The little monkey rolled its eyes and looked at its mother.
Qi Ruilin had told him that he should never randomly take someone as his teacher.
Seeing Qi Ruilin nodding frantically, Qi Tian's eyes darted around even faster, and he said, "I'm willing to become your disciple, but what treasure will you give me?"
"You little monkey," Gu Qing chuckled and cursed. With a thought, he took out a large number of top-grade innate spiritual treasures and Dao artifacts of the seventh to ninth rank.
Some of these magical treasures were found by him, some belonged to others, and some were stolen from others.
There are several thousand items in total, and Gu Qing hasn't taken out many of them yet.
Besides the magical treasures in his hands, the Chaotic Boundless Realm is nurturing countless innate spiritual treasures, as well as nine innate supreme treasures.
Therefore, Gu Qing has no shortage of magical treasures at all, and could give a few to the little monkey instead.
"Give them all to me?"
The little monkey immediately stopped shaking, and its golden eyes burst forth with intense light.
"Hoo?" Fang Jixuan's breathing became rapid.
"You can only choose one item," Gu Qing said with a smile.
"No, I want them all."
"Then I won't give you a single one."
"I want half? A thousand? A hundred? Thirteen...?"
After some heated bargaining, Qi Tian obtained three top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
A chainmail, a long staff, and a large cauldron.
"enough."
Seeing that Gu Qing wanted to say more, Emperor Ziwei suppressed his anger and forced a smile: "Junior brother..."
He could swear to God that he had used up all his patience in his life waiting for Gu Qing.
No one had ever treated him so disrespectfully since he was born.
"Calling me junior brother won't help. Master has just broken through to the Dao Lord realm and is currently in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation."
Gu Qing smiled indifferently.
Why the hell didn't you say so sooner?
A dozen or so men felt their temples throbbing and their eyes blazing with anger.
For a whole hundred years, we knelt in vain.
For an ordinary person, a hundred years is enough time for a newborn baby to have three generations of children before finally being laid to rest.
Fortunately, they are celestial beings with endless lifespans and strong wills.
"let's go!"
The crowd looked grim and left, without questioning the truthfulness of Gu Qing's words.
After all, the Star Mother had just broken through to the Dao Lord realm, and her realm was not yet stable. She continued to go into seclusion to consolidate her realm and comprehend the mysteries of the Dao Lord realm.
"Master, is it beautiful?"
The little monkey Qitian donned chainmail and showed off his skills in front of Gu Qing, wielding the Hunyuan Yiqi Staff with great power and speed.
Gu Qing stroked his chin and said without hesitation, "It looks good. It would be even better if you could demonstrate eating and drinking upside down for your teacher."
"Ah..." The little monkey paused, dumbfounded.
Qi Ruilin: "..."
A bad feeling arose spontaneously.
Why do I suddenly feel that having the monkey worship Gu Qing is not a wise move?
For some reason, Fang Jixuan felt that not being able to win Gu Qing's favor was actually a great thing.
He doesn't want to eat or drink upside down.
“Master, my child is just beginning to develop intelligence. I have enrolled him in school, but he is going to be late. Farewell.”
Qi Ruilin, clutching the little monkey, fled like the wind.
"Ha!" Gu Qing laughed, his gaze sweeping over Fang Jixuan: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Fang Jixuan: "..."
He hasn't received his share of the treasure yet, why is he leaving?
No, Gu Qing is letting him break through his cultivation level, but he really isn't giving him anything?
Does Gu Qing also think he's a good-for-nothing and look down on him?
Fang Jixuan hesitated for a moment, then left unwillingly. The more passionate he was when he came, the more disheartened and disappointed he became now.
Back in his cave, Fang Jixuan looked up at the brightest star in the sky.
This star seemed to be an imperial star, surrounded by other stars, exuding endless sacred radiance, its divine power awe-inspiring.
This star is a cave dwelling personally crafted by the Star Mother, containing all the phenomena of the universe.
"It's so similar..."
The Holy Mother of Stars and Gu Qing are like this imperial star, looking down on all others and surveying all living beings.
Recalling Gu Qing's arrogant and disdainful expression, Fang Jixuan's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
"If you look down on me, why did you take me as your disciple?"
"shut up!"
Elder Dan sternly rebuked, "The powers of the celestial beings are unfathomable. If you don't want to die, don't act crazy."
Fang Jixuan smiled bitterly: "Elder Dan, haven't you figured it out yet? My master never treated me as a disciple. A hundred years from now, he will have a legitimate reason to expel me from the sect."
"I'm afraid that taking me as a disciple is just a way to prevent Hongluan and the other two from being used against them."
Elder Dan: "..."
How dare you!
Gu Qing didn't even give the Celestials any face, trampling their dignity underfoot.
Fang Jixuan actually thought Gu Qing took on a disciple because he was afraid of being criticized??
It's really a big joke in the world.
Elder Dan took a deep breath and said angrily, "Idiot, just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Your master could do it."
"Your master broke through to the Celestial Realm in just ten thousand years, and then spent several hundred years breaking through to the eleventh level. Is it too harsh to ask you to break through two levels in a hundred years?"
Fang Jixuan's breath hitched.
That's... not harsh at all.
After all, celestial beings are not comparable to the God Emperor.
The difference is like the speed at which one breaks through from the mortal realm to the transcendent realm.
but……
He really can't do it.
"The leader has ordered you to go out and gain experience immediately."
Xing Rong suddenly appeared, his expression indifferent, but if you looked closely, you could see the deep sarcasm in his eyes.
……
"Our master has become ruthless and heartless. What should we do?"
The atmosphere in the Ziwei Imperial Palace was oppressive and somber.
The dozen or so celestial beings had somber expressions.
With their natural talent, if the Star Mother didn't help them, they would never be able to break through to the Chaos Sovereign God level in their lifetime.
"Perhaps I can help you fellow disciples."
A faint voice echoed through the arena, and a figure dressed in white, as if strolling from the ends of the universe, appeared, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a banished immortal.
“Yun Youzi…”
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Senior brother, it's been many years. How have you been?"
Yun Youzi wore a plain white Taoist robe, with a handsome and refined appearance and an extraordinary temperament.
He smiled, showing no airs of a supreme god, and bowed to the four of them with clasped hands.
“We dare not accept such a title. We are but mere celestial beings. How could we possibly be worthy of the respect due to the sovereign god? Besides, you are no longer our junior brother.”
That's right, Yun Youzi was the youngest disciple of the Star Saint Mother, but she switched allegiance to Gu Jun because she aligned with Gu Jun's Dao.
The junior disciple who joined the sect the latest has now attained the status of a supreme god before them.
The envy on everyone's faces was palpable, and they couldn't help but regret that if they had also sided with Gu Jun, Ni Xiao, and Tian Xu back then, perhaps they too could have attained the Dao of the Sovereign God.
Even if all else fails, with a sovereign god to guide them, they won't be trapped in the illusion of heaven and man, unable to find any direction.
