The sky had just begun to brighten and the morning breeze woke him up. Meng Qi stood by the riverside, feeling as if he had just had a beautiful dream.
He did not regret or feel guilty about what had happened in the Grey Stone Hall. He could only say that his bottom line was more important than his life, but his life was more important than his principles.
He could sacrifice himself for his friends and disregard his own life for the sake of righteous indignation, but that did not mean that he did not value his own life. In a life or death situation, he could give up some unimportant principles.
If he had a wife, a lover, or someone he liked, he would definitely drag his weak body to another inconspicuous place to hide. He would wait for Han Guang and Brother Doubi to leave the Celestial Court and slowly recover.
If Gu Xiaosang was unwilling, he would not force her. This was his bottom line, a bottom line that was more important than his life. He would also choose to leave at great risk.
But he did not have a wife, a lover, and his secret love was cut off. Gu Xiaosang was the first to mention that he had memorized Shang River Fairy's Dual Cultivation Skill for a long time. He knew that he could not harm her and would most likely be able to eliminate the backlash. He came from the modern Earth and had a more open mind. What else did he need to persist?
Gu Xiaosang was a rare beauty. Even if she was a hundred times uglier, Mengqi believed that he would have no choice but to accept it. Gu Xiaosang was beautiful and had a perfect body. What else did he need to regret or feel disgusted?
The only thing he did not expect was that Gu Xiaosang had lied to him. She did not need to activate the method to leave the Celestial Court and could be used at will. This went against all logic and he did not suspect anything!
If that was the case, why did she do it? Mengqi looked at the undulating river and thought about many things.
Was she afraid that she would be too weak to protect herself after leaving the Celestial Court? Then she could have directly plucked him while he was restrained!
Did she trick him into Dual Cultivation to improve her strength? That was not right. According to Shang River Fairy's records, a one-sided plucking was much more effective than a single Dual Cultivation. If Gu Xiaosang had chosen the former, she might have already crossed the second step of the Celestial Ladder.
What did she want to do? Meng Qi furrowed his brows as he recalled Gu Xiaosang's last warning and the few words she had said earlier. She had even deliberately shown him the Shang River Fairy's Dual Cultivation Method on the island?
She had long prepared for this and had been waiting for this day?
That was really far-sighted!
And she was in a strange state. Yu Longzi was probably not that simple …
Before this, Meng Qi had always thought that Gu Xiaosang's seduction, seduction, and addressing him as her husband were mostly to lower his guard or divert his attention so that he wouldn't see the problem. She was toying with him in the palm of her hand. A small part of it was because she found it interesting and wanted to tease him. In reality, she had no such intentions. However, this sudden development left him a little confused. The demoness was not a casual person. The fact that she was still in the body of Vital Yin was proof. What was she thinking when she suggested Dual Cultivation?
Was it on purpose or not? Was she doing it intentionally or not?
Meng Qi could not help but sigh. Demoness Gu's thoughts were hard to fathom and her actions were always unexpected. Her inexplicable Dual Cultivation was in line with Meng Qi's usual understanding of her. If they really wanted to progress step by step to the point where their souls and bodies intertwined, it would definitely be Yu Longzi, not Gu Xiaosang!
She had saved his life twice and they had sex. As a man, Mengqi had a sense of responsibility. He wondered if he should take the initiative to pull Gu Xiaosang away from the heterodox path so that they would not cross each other's bottom line in the future and fight to the death. He did not expect Gu Xiaosang to suddenly turn against him, which made him feel vaguely disappointed.
"I am not the main character after all. There is no such thing as conquering the soul after conquering the body …" Mengqi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Suddenly, he remembered the scene when Gu Xiaosang held the little girl's hand and called him father. He also remembered what she had said at that time: Love to each other in the Celestial Court, have sex and have children?
Could it be that she really meant it? Mengqi suddenly felt dizzy!
However, when it came to Dual Cultivation, one's Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin should be harmonized and refined. There should not be a pregnancy!
The morning breeze blew past, refreshing his face. The water rippled and the scenery was enchanting. Mengqi took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
At this time, passersby had already noticed him and whispered, "There is a young man standing by the river. He looks troubled. Could it be that he wants to jump into the river?"
"I don't think so. He is not that sad. Hehe, if he was a woman, I could guess. He has obviously lost his innocence and is feeling complicated and melancholy. He has a lot of thoughts, such as his true feelings, what kind of person he is, whether he is sincere or not, whether he will take responsibility, how to get along in the future …" A scholar who had just returned from a brothel waved his fan and spoke with assurance.
Damn it! Mengqi's ears were sharp. Am I that kind of person?
His face was slightly red as he strode away from the Golden Water River.
Next, he returned to the Immortals and stored the Supreme-wisdom Tree. He set the price of six thousand Karma points for the second enlightenment. Small profits but quick turnover. He needed to accumulate as many Karma points as possible before the Death Task. He needed to change his Taoist robe to the Highest Grade and replace the Purple Lightning Saber, a Middle-grade Precious Weapon. Then he could lend them to his companions who did not have enough Karma points. Everyone had to start the second Death Task in the best condition and with the best preparation!
Next was the green fruit that demoness Gu fed him. He had to figure out what it was!
Even if there was no future trouble and he did not need the Dominator to remove it, he could not ignore it. Who knew what demoness Gu wanted to do?
Mengqi had already read through the intelligence of the Celestial Court and the Immortal World. From Han Guang's behavior, he obviously did not recognize the green fruit. The Myths also did not need to consider. In today's world, apart from Gu Xiaosang, there were probably only two parties that could recognize the green fruit. One was the Plain Girl Sect, and the other was the Xuan Tian Sect!
The Plain Girl Sect did not need to consider it, so the only choice seemed to be the Xuan Tian Sect.
However, the records of such treasures were usually a secret book of a sect. And for a sect with a Peerless Heavenly Weapon, Mengqi suspected that it would be difficult even for the Dominator to sneak in and take a look.
What should he do?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Mengqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He turned his head to look at the vegetation beside him. He saw half a peach peeking out timidly from behind a Chinese parasol tree. It was covered in a bloody light, and its flesh hid its meridians. It was extremely demonic.
"Damn it! It actually chased me out! "Mengqi suddenly forgot about everything else and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Whether it was the appearance or the origin of this peach, it made one's heart tremble.
Gingerly, Mengqi took out the Supreme-wisdom Tree. It was green and warm, gentler than before.
With a swoosh, the peach disappeared without a trace.
Mengqi frowned in thought and put away the Supreme-wisdom Tree.
Just as he put it away, his eyes narrowed. The demonic peach peeked out again!
"Come here." Mengqi spread out his left hand as if he was playing with a cat or a dog.
The peach jumped and fell into Mengqi's hand, rubbing against his palm.
Before Mengqi could react, it suddenly turned into a light and disappeared into the purple thunderbolt mark!
The thunderbolt mark changed from a lightning bolt to a thunder ball as if it had eaten fat!
Other than that, Mengqi had no other feelings. He just sighed inexplicably.
There was one more thing that he needed to figure out!
…
The weather was good in June. The lotus leaves were boundless green, and the lotus flowers reflected the sun red. Jade Emperor Mountain was towering, but there were many strange lotus flowers that were not afraid of height or wind. They grew in the mountain streams and ponds, and could be seen everywhere.
Mengqi changed into a green robe. With the Heaven Inflicted Pain strapped to his waist, he looked like a tourist enjoying the scenery. He walked halfway up the mountain and saw the disciples of Xuan Tian Sect who were guarding the mountain.
They stood beside a lotus pond. Some had sabers at their waists, some had swords in their hands, some were dressed like Taoists, and some were ordinary people.
Beside the pool, there was a stone tablet with three large words written on it.
"Weapon Disarming Pool!"
Worshiped by the Celestial Ruler. After crossing this pond, one was not allowed to fly or carry weapons. They were either left for Xuan Tian Sect to guard or kept in the Space Ring or storage bag.
Mengqi smiled and stopped. He casually bowed. "I'm Su Meng. I'm here to see Taoist Brother Qing Yu."
"Su Meng?" A disciple dressed like a Taoist opened his eyes wide. He was curious and in awe.
If the disciples of Xuan Tian Sect were to choose the young master that they paid the most attention to, it would definitely be Mengqi. Apart from being in the limelight, he was also famous for his bladesmanship. Xuan Tian Sect was famous for its Timeshadow Blade. They had all kinds of powerful bladesmanship, so it was inevitable for the disciples to compare themselves with each other.
Unfortunately, Senior Brother Qing Yu, who was the most outstanding among the younger generation, lost to him by half a move. After that, the gap between their realms grew larger and larger, and they were no longer at the same level!
Mengqi nodded slightly. "That's me."
Many people immediately looked at him. Mengqi gladly accepted it. As a man living in this world, he had to enjoy the worship that he should enjoy.
While he was enjoying himself, some disciples had already gone up the mountain to report. Not long after, Qing Yu came with the Ground Shrinking Technique. He still had high eyebrows and thin lips. He looked gentle on the outside, but he hid his pride inside. The Blade of Time became more and more ordinary, as if time could be seen wherever it was.
However, he had already stepped into the Exterior Realm.
"Donor Su, why are you here?" Qing Yu looked at Mengqi with a complicated look in his eyes and then returned to normal.
Mengqi smiled and said, "I have something to ask you. Let's talk on the side."
Qing Yu did not suspect anything in his own sect, so he followed Mengqi to the nearby mountain stream.
Mengqi took out three pieces of paper and said with a smile, "Taoist Brother Qing Yu, you should have heard about the relics of the Ninth Heaven, right? I happened to enter it and saw some strange things, so I'm here to ask for your advice. "
He believed that Han Guang would never help him hide the fact that he had entered the Immortal Realm. Maybe Han Guang would even announce that he had cooperated with the demoness. So he did not hide anything.
Qing Yu's face turned serious, "What things?"
Mengqi handed over the paper, "As drawn in the picture."
On the paper, there were pictures of a strange tree, a green fruit and the plant that bore it, and a demonic peach.
Qing Yu looked at the words written on the paper, such as "It seems to be connected to all parts of the Immortal Realm" and "I was born this way and will be so in the future". His mouth twitched slightly, "Why do you have to show off when the drawing is so bad and the writing is so abstract? You can just use Telepathy I. Don't you know how to do it? "
"My drawing is bad?" Mengqi was quite shocked. A golden light burst out from between his eyebrows and flew to Qing Yu.
Qing Yu stopped and carefully sensed it. In the end, he frowned and said, "I am familiar with the Classics, but I have never seen these three things."
Mengqi looked doubtful, "You are so young, how much can you know? You should ask the elders."
This was to get back at him for saying that his drawing skills were bad!
Qing Yu snorted, "I have a broad knowledge. If I say I have never seen them, no one in the Xuan Tian Sect has."
Mengqi snorted, but he did not mention the whereabouts of the three things. Instead, he answered some of Qing Yu's questions about the Immortal Realm and left. He walked slowly and stayed in a nearby inn for the night.
The night passed peacefully, and the sun rose in the east. Mengqi stroked the Ancient Space-breaching Talisman that he had been holding tightly and sighed,
"It seems that the Xuan Tian Sect really doesn't know …"
He deliberately went to the Xuan Tian Sect and asked them directly. If someone in the Xuan Tian Sect really recognized them and knew their value, they would definitely spy on him or even try to test him. Who knew that nothing happened!
"Where should I go next …" Mengqi fell into deep thought again. He could not rely on the Death Task. Cultivation was the most important thing, but he had been doing it and did not slack off. It was useless to just meditate in seclusion.
After thinking for a while, Mengqi carefully analyzed the Death Task. He eliminated the possibilities one by one and finally settled on one of the sources of danger: the Blood Sea Rakshasa!
"Should I go to the Southern Wasteland and find out about the skills of the Blood Cloak Cult first so that I can deal with it?"
