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 out 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 body that was too weak to resist any danger and find 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, more important than his life. He would also choose to take a huge risk to leave.
But he had no wife, no 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. Coming from modern Earth, he was relatively open-minded. What else did he need to persist?
Even if she was a hundred times uglier than she was now, Meng Qi reckoned that he would have no choice but to accept it. Now that she was as beautiful as a flower and had an excellent figure, what else was there for him to regret or feel disgusted about?
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!
Was she tricking him into Dual Cultivation to improve her strength? According to Shang River Fairy's records, a one-sided plucking was much more effective than a single round of Dual Cultivation. If Gu Xiaosang had chosen the former, she might have already crossed the second step of the Celestial Ladder with the strength of her physical body and Primordial Yang!
What did she want to do? Mengqi frowned slightly as he recalled Gu Xiaosang's last reminder and her words. She even deliberately showed him Shang River Fairy's Dual Cultivation Skill on the island?
Was she prepared for this day and had been waiting for this day?
That was truly far-sighted planning!
Furthermore, her condition was a little strange. Yu Longzi was not as simple as she seemed …
Before this, Mengqi had always thought that Gu Xiaosang's seduction, seduction, and calling him "hubby" were mostly to lower his guard, or to divert his attention so that he could not see the problem. She was toying with him in the palm of her hand, and a small part of it was because she found it amusing 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 Primordial Yin was proof. What was she thinking when she suggested Dual Cultivation and took off her clothes?
Intentionally or unintentionally, emotionally and unemotionally, or is there another big plan?
Mengqi could not help but sigh. Demoness Gu's thoughts were hard to read and her actions were always unexpected. Her inexplicable Dual Cultivation Skill was in line with Mengqi's understanding of her. If they really wanted to gradually develop feelings for each other and then have sex with each other, then it would definitely be Yu Longzi, not Gu Xiaosang!
Originally, as a man, Mengqi had saved his life twice and had sex with her, as a man, he had a sense of responsibility. He thought about whether 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. Who knew that Gu Xiaosang would suddenly turn against him, which made him feel vaguely disappointed.
"After all, I am not the main character. 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 said at that time: Falling in love with each other in the Celestial Court, having sex with each other and giving birth to a child?
Could it be that she really had such intentions? Mengqi suddenly felt dizzy!
But in the matter of Dual Cultivation, the Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin were harmonized and refined, so it should not be possible to get pregnant!
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 nearby had already noticed him and whispered, "There is a young man standing by the river, looking troubled. Could it be that he wants to jump into the river?"
"Probably not, he is not that sad. Hehe, if he was a woman, I could guess. Obviously, he has lost his chastity, and his emotions are 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 folding fan and spoke frankly with assurance.
Damn it! Mengqi's ears were sharp. Am I that kind of person?
He blushed slightly and strode away from the Golden River.
Next, he would return to the Immortals and deposit the Supreme-wisdom Tree. He set the price of six thousand Karma points for the second enlightenment. Small profits but quick turnover. He would accumulate more Karma points before the Death Task. He would change his Taoist robe to the best grade and replace the Purple Lightning Saber, a Middle-grade Precious Weapon. Then he would lend them to his companions who did not have enough Karma points. Everyone must be in the best condition and prepared for the second Death Task!
Next was the green fruit that Demoness Gu had fed him. He had to figure out what it was!
Even if there was no future trouble for the time being 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 reaction, he obviously did not recognize the green fruit. The Myths were also out of the question. In today's world, apart from Gu Xiaosang, there were probably only two parties who could recognize the green fruit. One was the Plain Lady Sect, and the other was the Xuan Tian Sect!
If the Plain Lady Sect did not consider it, the only option left was the Xuan Tian Sect.
However, the records of such treasures were usually kept in the secret books 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 other things and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Regardless of its appearance or its origin, this peach was enough to make 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 the shape of a lightning bolt to a thunder ball!
Other than that, Mengqi did not feel anything else. 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 heights 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 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!"
Worshipped by the Celestial Ruler and worshipped by all. 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 and said, "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 with curiosity and awe.
If there was a young expert that Xuan Tian Sect 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 the disciples inevitably wanted to compare themselves with him.
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 widened and they were no longer at the same level!
Mengqi gently nodded. "That's me."
Many people immediately looked at him. Mengqi gladly accepted it. As a man in this world, he had to enjoy the worship that he deserved.
While he was enjoying himself, a disciple 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 but arrogant. His Time Blade looked more and more ordinary, as if it could be seen everywhere.
However, he had already stepped into the Exterior Realm.
"Donor Su, why are you here?" Qing Yu looked at Mengqi with a complicated expression and then returned to normal.
Mengqi smiled and said, "I have something to ask you. Let's talk."
Qing Yu did not suspect anything in his own sect. 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 must have heard about the relics of the Ninth Heaven? I happened to enter it and saw some strange things. I'm here to ask for your advice. "
He believed that Han Guang would never help him hide the fact that he entered the Immortal Realm. Maybe Han Guang would even announce that he cooperated with the demoness. So he did not hide anything.
Qing Yu's face turned serious. "What things?"
Mengqi handed over the paper and said, "As drawn in the picture."
On the paper were drawings of a strange tree, a green fruit and the plant that bore it, and a Demonic Peach.
Qing Yu looked at the words "It seems to be connected to all parts of the Immortal Realm" and "I was born like this and will be like this 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 sensed carefully. 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 your elders."
This was to get back at him for saying that his drawing skills were bad!
Qing Yu snorted. "I have a wide knowledge. If I say I have never seen them, no one in the Xuan Tian Sect has."
Mengqi snorted. He did not mention the whereabouts of the three things to clear his name. Instead, he answered some questions Qing Yu had about the Immortal Realm and then left. He walked slowly and stayed in a nearby inn for the night.
The night passed peacefully. 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 was testing the waters by asking them directly. If someone in the Xuan Tian Sect really recognized them and knew their value, they would definitely spy on him or even test him. But nothing happened!
"Where should I go next …" Mengqi fell into deep thought again. He could not rely on the Death Task. The most important thing was to improve himself. However, he had been doing it all the time. 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 to find out about the skills of the Blood Cloak Cult and be prepared to deal with it?"
