Chapter 1172: Chapter 610: The Secret of Becoming Immortal
Qinghe Saint Master tentatively asked, "Tianxuan Divine Girl, what do you mean?"
Tianxuan Divine Girl seemingly did not hear, directly looking at Gu Sheng, and said coolly, "I want to see what attitude the Tianlan Sacred Land will have towards you. If they do not protect you, I don’t mind taking you to the Purple Spirit Realm."
Everyone was shocked, not expecting Tianxuan Divine Girl to have such an attitude toward Gu Sheng, even wanting to take him to the Purple Spirit Realm.
If Gu Sheng were to associate with Tianxuan Divine Girl, then no one in Xinghong Spirit Domain would dare provoke Tianlan Sacred Land, as the Goddess of the Purple Spirit Realm is not someone they can easily affront.
"I see."
Gu Sheng’s heart suddenly became clear. The reason he dared to kill Kunpeng Taoist in front of Qinghe Saint Master and suggested that everyone need not flee was precisely because Tianxuan Divine Girl had promised him, before leaving the Holy Road, to help him deter the Six Great Holy Lands.
Although Tianxuan Divine Girl’s own strength was not top-tier, the power behind her was incredibly formidable. As long as she spoke, the Six Great Holy Lands would not dare to act rashly.
"Good, good, indeed!"
Tianlan Saint Mother exclaimed with surprise, repeatedly expressing her approval, her eyes filled with the relief of having survived a disaster.
"Haha, I knew he was reliable."
Gongsun Yue couldn’t help but laugh.
"Who was just acting extremely afraid?"
Bixuan teased from the side, causing Gongsun Yue’s face to flush red with embarrassment.
Tianxuan Divine Girl’s gaze swept over the six Saint Masters, saying solemnly, "Gu Sheng saved my life on the Holy Road. After I return to the Purple Spirit Realm, I will report this to my father, and I believe my father will be very grateful to him.
If any of you harm him, and my father learns of it, consider the consequences yourselves.
I also have unfinished business with Tianlan Sacred Land and owe them a favor. You’d better not make things difficult for me."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Gu Sheng and the people of Tianlan Sacred Land were confused as to when Tianxuan Divine Girl owed them a favor.
Tianlan Saint Master pondered, considering that the Tianxuan Divine Girl might have said this to protect Gu Sheng and Tianlan Sacred Land because Gu Sheng’s master had once saved Tianxuan Divine Girl’s life, though they were unaware.
The other Saint Masters wore troubled expressions, directing their gaze towards Qinghe Saint Master.
The enmity of the Holy Road and the legacy of the Holy Road Master had originally united them against a common enemy. If utilized properly, it might have been possible to destroy Tianlan Sacred Land and divide it up.
Such a golden opportunity was hard to give up. Yet, they dared not provoke Tianxuan Divine Girl, for if they angered her, even one expert dispatched by the Purple Spirit Divine Mountain could annihilate the Six Great Holy Lands.
As for killing to silence, they simply didn’t have the guts. The Purple Spirit Realm Master was all-seeing and all-knowing; if they harbored such a thought, they would meet their doom with no place to be buried.
"What, do you still dare defy the Goddess?"
Tianlan Saint Master snorted coldly, emboldened by Tianxuan Divine Girl’s support, completely unafraid of the Six Great Saint Masters.
"Hmph!"
Although Qinghe Saint Master was reluctant, he silently withdrew his overwhelming aura, indicating his attitude with this act.
The other Saint Masters also reluctantly withdrew their world-suppressing Spiritual Power, and a potential cataclysmic battle that could have affected an entire domain ended anticlimactically.
Ordinary cultivators developed a deeper understanding of the extraordinary status of Tianxuan Divine Girl.
They looked at Gu Sheng with a gaze full of envy.
With his connection to Tianxuan Divine Girl, Gu Sheng could now walk freely and unchallenged in the Xinghong Spirit Domain.
Even if Tianxuan Divine Girl returned to the Purple Spirit Realm, no one would dare to act openly against him. At most, they might attempt some ambushes or assassination attempts.
"That’s great, the crisis is over."
The Ninth Elder of Tianlan Sacred Land breathed a sigh of relief, still lingering in fear.
If Tianxuan Divine Girl hadn’t intervened to stop the Six Great Saint Masters, they would have been in dire straits, with Tianlan Saint Master, Tianlan Saint Mother, and indeed all of Tianlan Sacred Land facing utter devastation.
"Thank you."
Gu Sheng cupped his hands in gratitude to Tianxuan Divine Girl.
"It’s a small matter."
Tianxuan Divine Girl waved her hand and pointed westward, saying, "The real trouble is there."
Gu Sheng followed her direction, his face growing somber. Over there, Demonic Qi was boiling, engulfing the surroundings.
With the withdrawal of the immense pressure from the Seven Great Saint Masters, this Demonic Qi became even more conspicuous.
Gradually, others also noticed the direction where the Demonic Qi soared, and some with keen insight guessed something, showing amused smiles on their faces.
"It seems we’re not the only ones dealing with him, huh."
Qinghe Saint Master smirked, looking at Gu Sheng with interest.
Qiankun Venerate King’s body trembled violently, and all the rune boundaries attached to him shattered.
His long-suppressed cultivation was finally completely unleashed, spreading the terrifying aura of a half-step Earth Palace Realm. This was his true strength.
With a thunderous roar, after his aura broke through to the half-step Earth Palace Realm, the fearsome Demonic Qi transformed into a ferocious demonic beast, claws and jaws bared, lunging toward Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted, his five fingers clenched into a fist, Spiritual Power spiraling madly inside him, unleashing a punch that shook the heavens and earth.
Boom! With a loud crash, Gu Sheng staggered back several steps. When he steadied himself, a mouthful of blood involuntarily spurted from his mouth.
"A waste."
Qiankun Venerate King laughed triumphantly, "My cultivation is restored; what can you fight me with now! Hahaha"
During his time in the Holy Road World, Qiankun Venerate King had been repeatedly suppressed by Gu Sheng due to various reasons, harboring a belly full of resentment. Having left the Holy Road, the seal was lifted, his strength restored to its peak, and now he could finally exact his revenge on Gu Sheng.
