Three days passed in a flash.
But in the Ruyi Space, a full thirty days had passed.
In these thirty days, Gu Qing comprehended the divine patterns of the Dao Classics below the Profound God Realm and merged them into the Undying Chaos Classic.
"Ten Thousand Transformations Star Shadow, Starlight Escape..."
These were two of the divine arts that Gu Qing was most interested in from the Chaos Star Dao Classic, and he had already successfully cultivated them, turning them into his innate heavenly divine abilities.
Ten Thousand Transformations Star Shadow allowed one's body to transform into thousands of stars or thousands of figures, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake.
Starlight Escape was a technique of escape that could shuttle through time and space—where there was starlight, there he was.
The stronger one's power, the farther they could escape. This escape technique was simply invincible.
With these two divine arts combined, one would be invincible from the very beginning.
Because these two divine arts could shuttle through time and space, a cultivator's domain and divine arts would be unable to bind their true body.
In other words, if divine arts couldn't lock onto them, then it would be impossible to hit them.
Gu Qing could leave the range of the opponent's divine art attacks at any time, transforming into thousands of figures to confuse the opponent.
If he encountered a Profound God again, Gu Qing wouldn't need to use schemes like he did when facing Li Yin—leaving the opponent's divine sense range before summoning his flying boat.
Gu Qing could directly transform into thousands of figures, leaving whenever he wanted, staying whenever he pleased.
In addition, the Chaos Star Dao Classic also recorded the refining of artifacts for the Great Dao of Stars, including the Star Shuttle that could break through the universe's barriers.
There were also many peerless secret arts, as well as world-destroying and world-creating divine arts.
But there wasn't enough time; comprehending these great divine arts would take at least several decades or even longer.
Gu Qing planned to comprehend them after returning from the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm; it wouldn't be too late.
"I really am the favorite child of the Star Saintess."
Anything in the Chaos Star Dao Classic was an absolute treasure, and obtaining even one would be a great fortune.
Yet the Star Saintess had taught it all to him.
Gu Qing developed infinite goodwill toward the Star Saintess.
In his heart, he became even more determined to rectify the chaos, eliminate the evil forces of the native Immortal Realm, and carry forward the Star Dao lineage.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing brought up the data panel.

"The Creation Green Lotus Cauldron is an Innate Spirit Treasure?"
Gu Qing asked in surprise.
[It is a Chaos Spirit Treasure, refined from a twenty-four-grade Creation Green Lotus. When the host breaks through to the Immortal King realm, it can be unsealed.]
[Additionally, the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron is far more advanced and mysterious than any of the host's artifacts. I suggest the host refine it rather than just imprinting a divine soul mark on it perfunctorily. The host is wasting this treasure.]
"..."
Gu Qing never expected that the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron was countless times more advanced than he had imagined.
With a flash, he rushed out of his cave dwelling.
In the garden, Jiang Yu was leisurely savoring pastries with small bites, her movements elegant and bearing graceful.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed before her eyes, and her thigh suffered again and again and again.
"Let go, let go of me." Jiang Yu was annoyed.
He always hugged her legs, and it always made her tingle; she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Smack, smack, smack..."
"My dear wife, I love you to death."
After kissing her several times, Gu Qing left a sentence and disappeared without a trace.
"You little rascal, you come back here."
Jiang Yu was furious, her chest heaving.
She was here beautifully drinking tea, savoring pastries, and admiring the vibrant colors of the garden in a wonderful mood.
Gu Qing suddenly appeared to attack her thigh, kissed, and then ran, leaving her in an awkward state. It was so annoying.
...
Gu Qing rushed into Zhimeng's cave dwelling and sent a message. After waiting a moment, Zhimeng seemed to appear against the light.
Her blue hair fluttered, her flawless divine face exuding pride and coldness, like a divine king looking down upon the nine heavens.
Her exotic blue pupils were deep and mysterious.
A pair of straight, long legs, snow-white and round, flawless, with a charming luster, partially hidden and visible under the split skirt, hazy and indistinct.
Ribbons bound her slender waist that could be held in a single grip, like a willow in the wind, revealing a thousand charms.
"Master's legs, this waist, perfectly demonstrate what it means to kill without a sword, take life with the waist. So amazing, truly amazing."
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Zhimeng's proud expression instantly broke, a blush appearing on her fair cheeks as she glared at Gu Qing angrily.
What kind of wolfish words were these?
So embarrassing.
This rebellious disciple actually dared to blatantly flirt with her.
Zhimeng's heart panicked. If she didn't have to maintain the dignity of a master, she really would have turned and fled.
"Speak, what do you want?"
Zhimeng suppressed her shyness, sat in the main seat, her face expressionless, her eyes indifferent.
Obviously, she was still angry.
This rebellious disciple was too much.
Not helping her was one thing, but actually asking her to change her ways to seduce Jiang Yu, and calling it true love?
It really angered her to death.
"Master is still angry?" Gu Qing reached out and poked her waist, the feeling soft, and her body fragrance assailing his nostrils.
Zhimeng really hadn't made it up to him even after several months.
"Don't move, it tickles." Numb.
Zhimeng twisted her waist, wiggled her hips.
If Jiang Yu's sensitive spot was her legs, then Zhi Meng's was her waist.
Holding onto her water-snake-like waist would surely make the aloof and cold Shizun melt into a puddle.
Gu Qing had tried it.
While tempering his mind in the void, he was overwhelmed by desire and suddenly hugged his Shizun, discovering this secret.
"Shizun, don't be angry. I'm going to enter the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm for training, and I'll probably be away for about ten years."
The Ancient Immortal Secret Realm opens once every hundred thousand years, with a time limit of ten years. Once ten years are up, you'll be teleported out, of course, you can also exit early.
Each session is limited to ten thousand spots, and the Star Dao Sect has one hundred of them.
Those who get a spot are definitely the core disciples of the Star Dao Sect.
Gu Qing's purpose for this trip was also simple: to seize the "Essence of All Things" from the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, and along the way, kill all the prodigies of the Star Dao Sect who entered.
"When are you leaving?"
Hearing this, Zhi Meng no longer cared about being angry and asked anxiously.
No matter how big the matter, it wasn't as important as Gu Qing's future.
In the long road to immortality, there would be plenty of time later to deal with this rebellious disciple.
"Leaving right now. I came to say goodbye to you, Shizun, and also to give you Xian'er and Tianzhu."
As he spoke, Gu Qing willed it, and a magnificent immortal flower appeared, inside which slept a plump, white baby.
The Tianzhu hung in the air, sprinkling great dao divine light, constantly washing Xian'er's aptitude.
Now that he had the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, the Tianzhu was of little use to him; the effect of comprehending the dao through the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron was better.
After all, the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron was refined from twenty-four Creation Green Lotuses, containing the great dao of creation.
The so-called creation encompasses all things, is limitless, and heaven, earth, all things, cause and effect, reincarnation—all belong to creation.
Moreover, the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron can refine all things, possessing unparalleled defense and attack power, far stronger than the Tianzhu, not even on the same level of treasure.
"Good, you train with peace of mind. Xian'er and I will wait for your return."
"These ten Thunder Pearls seal part of my master's divine abilities, equivalent to a full-strength strike from a first level of the Profound God Realm."
Although angry with Gu Qing, Zhi Meng knew clearly that Gu Qing might be targeted in the Star Dao Sect, so she spared no expense to refine these ten Thunder Pearls at the cost of her origin.
"Shizun, are you alright? Don't refine these next time. I have better secret treasures, enough to kill a Profound God Realm cultivator."
Refining these sealed divine abilities was not easy at all, very troublesome, consuming magic power and soul fragments, and requiring rare materials as vessels.
Zhi Meng didn't have rare materials, so she could only use another method: integrating them with her origin and soul fragments.
In severe cases, it could potentially damage her foundation.
Zhi Meng had secluded herself for several months, her strength hadn't improved at all, on the contrary, her aura had weakened, showing how much of a price she paid to refine these ten Thunder Pearls.
"Really?"
Zhi Meng was stunned.
How long had it been since they last met, and Gu Qing already had a trump card capable of killing a Profound God Realm cultivator?
Shaking her head, Zhi Meng stopped thinking about it.
Gu Qing was already extremely mysterious in her heart, even giving her what seemed like a congenital spiritual treasure as if it were a common object.
A mere secret treasure, compared to a congenital spiritual treasure, was nothing at all.
Thinking this, Zhi Meng's face showed a gratified expression, but she still said sternly, "How can there be such a thing as too many secret treasures? You take them properly and use them without hesitation. If they run out, your master can condense a few more for you, it's no trouble."
Secret treasures equivalent to a strike from the Profound God Realm—anyone else would have ecstatically accepted them, not caring how they were obtained.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, treated treasures as if they were nothing, instead caring about her injuries, which warmed her heart.
