Leaning against the door, peering through the crack, he muttered softly: \"In this desperate situation, how long will your holiness last? You refuse to sit down because everything feels dirty—how long will it take you to sit here, how long before you eat a dead rat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of witnessing Yao Yue’s grotesque final moments filled Wei Wuya with exhilaration, and he leapt to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life in the mortal world ends in parting; death in the netherworld is no different. Mortal world and netherworld are much the same—just drifting in a foreign land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said calmly: \"It is merely death. What is there to fear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuya clenched his teeth in fury, feeling as if he had punched empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already driven Gu Qing and Yao Yue into utter despair, yet Gu Qing was pretending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re amazing, you’re so pure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuya roared in rage: \"Now you pretend to be indifferent to life and death? Fine. I’ll wait outside. I’ll throw in food—but only enough for one. I’ll see if you two argue, if you kill each other...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Qing, I originally thought you’d thank me. Yao Yue is still a virgin—perhaps before she dies, she’ll want to taste what a man feels. That would’ve been your fortune. Now dream on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuya’s eyes gleamed as he said: \"I’ll watch you kill each other. I’ll watch you eat corpses, then die helplessly inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under desperate circumstances, people always reveal their beastly nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled calmly and looked at Yao Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this desperate situation, Gu Qing remained composed and serene, while Yao Yue appeared solitary, thin and numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s take a walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this desperate place, Gu Qing still smiled as he faced Yao Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That smile may have brought Yao Yue a measure of comfort; she followed Gu Qing as he explored the many caverns. But all supplies had already been moved by Wei Wuya. After circling the caves, they found nothing edible or drinkable—only Wei Wuya’s stone carvings, depicting how he had trained Yao Yue and Lianxing. Yao Yue struck out with her palm and destroyed them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We truly can’t get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue said dully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong a person is, there comes a time when they grow weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at Yao Yue and said seriously: \"Don’t worry. I will not let you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue stared at Gu Qing as he built her a latrine inside the cave, shielding her from Wei Wuya’s view. Then he found a rope, cleaned it, and taught her a method to sleep upon it, ensuring she could live in the cave without losing her dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue looked at the rope, then watched Gu Qing walk to a corner of the cave, sit cross-legged, and like a meditating Buddha, fell utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Qing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue’s heart leapt in alarm. She darted forward and saw Gu Qing still breathing faintly—only then did she relax. But in this solitude, Gu Qing had suddenly begun meditating, leaving her with no one to speak to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was eerily silent; the burning lamps gradually dimmed and went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Wei Wuya dropped a pomelo through the crack above, leaned close, and spat more vile words. Yao Yue ignored it all—until her body grew too hungry to bear. She turned to look at Gu Qing, hoping he would decide what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she turned, Yao Yue suddenly realized: Gu Qing had stopped breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, endless darkness surged toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue suddenly understood what Gu Qing meant by “I will not let you die”—in this desperate place, he was willing to sacrifice his own life so she could live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This simple, pure, direct love was something Yao Yue had never experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... why did you do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue stared blankly. For the first time, she truly understood what love tasted like—and for the first time, she felt another’s unreserved devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, Yao Yue seemed to return to the past—to the day Jiang Feng died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Feng had cursed Yao Yue as fire, ice, a sword, a god, a demon—but never a human. The woman he loved, Hua Yuenü, was a living soul who understood Jiang Feng’s spirit, knew his heart, and both were willing to die for each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue suddenly understood that feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Yao Yue released her inner chains, let go of her secrets, and fully embraced Gu Qing’s affection. As she closed her eyes, her body began to grow translucent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninth level of Mingyu Gong requires one to shed all chains before it can be achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue had accumulated nearly twenty years of cultivation; now that her heart had reached the right state, everything flowed naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this stillness, when Yao Yue opened her eyes again, her face had lost its icy chill and gained a soft jade-like luster. She leapt down from the rope, disregarding the filth on the ground, and pressed her entire body against Gu Qing’s chest, closing her eyes deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let us die together...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue was about to speak when she heard a faint, extremely slow heartbeat from Gu Qing’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was incredibly faint—but Yao Yue had reached the ninth level of Mingyu Gong. She heard it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue lifted her gaze and saw that Gu Qing had already opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Yao Yue realized her voice could sound so full of joy, so full of feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a secret of Indian yoga. Even without food or drink for over ten days, I can preserve my vitality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said: \"If I died, who would protect your safety?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue suddenly understood: that “I will not let you die” had been Gu Qing’s promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gently caressed Yao Yue’s face and said: \"I thought it would take seven or eight days before you could calm your heart and truly break through to the ninth level of Mingyu Gong. I didn’t expect it to take only two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue smiled softly, and the dark chamber seemed to brighten instantly. Her jade arm reached out, circling Gu Qing’s neck, and she leaned in for a deep kiss. The faint fragrance enticed them both until their hearts swayed and breaths grew shallow, before they finally parted. Yao Yue said: \"I let Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuke go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue’s hatred had been born from love. When she began to accept a new affection, her past hatred naturally dissolved. She shed her chains and was finally free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing embraced Yao Yue as they sat up, about to speak, when they heard Wei Wuya pressing his face against the hole, straining to peer inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled, released Yao Yue, and said: \"Then it’s time we left!\" As he spoke, he leapt forward to the wall where Wei Wuya stood, spread his hands wide, poured his true qi into them, activated the Jia Yi Divine Art, the Dragon and Elephant Samadhi Power, and the Shatter-Resisting Claw Technique. His hands plunged directly into the stone wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten-thousand-pound stone shattered beneath his hands like rotting earth. With swift, relentless movements—swish, swish, swish, swish—he hollowed out several feet of stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying fragments stunned Wei Wuya outside. In that moment, he realized the stone traps could never contain Gu Qing—this man could dig through seventeen or eighteen zhang of solid rock with his bare hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain stone shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing and Yao Yue appeared before Wei Wuya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuya opened his mouth to bite down on the poison hidden within—but Gu Qing seized him, crushed his jaw, crushed the poison, and threw it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re amazing, you’re so pure. You’re broken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sneered bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1340,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bd4cf03f3fde62d4f5416e7aaa39a811bc4e3cca10b4631b96190e395799439f","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-188","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-186",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
