This is the secret of the Immortal Seal Technique. Study its contents; it’ll give you one more layer of caution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing took the Immortal Seal Technique—the very scripture that had once caused Bi Xiuxin’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qingxuan gave Gu Qing a slight nod, then drifted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan and Du Guofeng finally approached; Shi Feixuan even brought a long sword for Gu Qing to examine closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade bore numerous nicks, yet the iron of its edge was distinctly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this sword alone, one could discern the true lethal power of the Bu Tian Pavilion’s sword art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder he’s the master of the Shadow Assassin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held the sword, studying it intently—Shi Zhixuan truly excelled in assassination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan gazed at him, her voice soft and tender: “I thought your inner energy, lightness, and unique cultivation methods were what made you so extraordinary—but I didn’t expect your defensive arts to be this strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the martial path, Gu Qing had virtually no flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhixuan was a demon feared by all; even master-level cultivators spoke of the Evil King with respect, fearing his elusive methods and his ability to strike and vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this demon, feared by all, had been humiliated twice by Gu Qing—especially this time, with Shi Qingxuan and Shi Feixuan watching as Shi Zhixuan unleashed every technique, his sword blade even dulled by blows, while Gu Qing never even raised a hand, leaving Shi Zhixuan in despair as he fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan felt that even Ning Daoqi, the hidden ace of the Cihang Pure Land, would be useless—even Ning Daoqi plus Shi Zhixuan together would be useless. Gu Qing’s power made her nearly resign herself to fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at Shi Feixuan, took the Immortal Seal Technique, and asked tentatively: “Want to read it together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan’s eyes smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to see the Immortal Seal Technique too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice drifted on the wind. Shi Feixuan suddenly sensed something and turned—on the head of a giant Arhat sat a girl in yellow, barefoot, swaying gently; when their gazes met, Shi Feixuan instantly recognized her identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orthodox and demonic sects had long been entangled; the Yin Gui Sect, the most powerful among the demons, and the Cihang Pure Land were locked in endless rivalry, even making a wager to settle their feud through their next-generation successors. The girl Shi Feixuan saw was Wan Wan, the demonic sect’s most gifted disciple, hailed as the strongest successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan’s gaze sharpened like sword qi; though far apart, Wan Wan felt the blade’s imminent threat—she had no doubt Shi Feixuan would draw her sword if she took another step. But as the most outstanding disciple of the demonic sect, she would not retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan leapt forward toward Gu Qing. Shi Feixuan extended two fingers—two sword qi streaks shot toward Wan Wan, yet the surrounding air collapsed as if heaven and earth had fallen, swallowing the sword qi whole. In that instant, Wan Wan forced herself to stand before Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Master Gu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan bowed gracefully before Gu Qing: “My master ordered me to serve you.” As she spoke, she glanced at Shi Feixuan with a subtle challenge: “I was raised in the demonic sect—I’ve absorbed these arts by osmosis. Grand Master Gu, you’d be better off with me than with her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan had arrived to oust Shi Feixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked down at Wan Wan, seeing the pale nape of her neck as she bowed; when she raised her head, her gaze seemed to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan remained unmoved, her sword poised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing studied Wan Wan—he knew Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan harbored deep hatred, and Wan Wan coveted the Immortal Seal Technique most. He tucked the scripture into his robe, reached out, touched her arm, and helped her rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan’s eyes shimmered, silently conveying affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Shi Feixuan’s subtle, silent allure, Yin Gui Sect’s seduction was far too blunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shi Qingxuan saw so many women here and withdrew on her own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Feixuan watched Wan Wan advance, speaking coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan smiled, glancing at Shi Feixuan: “Then when will this Pure Land sister withdraw? I heard when I came here that the Li clan plans to send Li Xiuning to Grand Master Gu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiuning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of this name, Gu Qing, Shi Feixuan, and Du Guofeng all grew curious—why would the Li clan make such a decision?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all because Xie Hui.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan smiled sweetly: “Grand Master Gu made Xie Hui return Miss Song Yuhua to Lingnan. Miss Song Yuhua now refuses to marry anyone but Grand Master Gu. This back-and-forth led to an alliance between Grand Master Gu and the Song clan. Then I heard Miss Du Guofeng has been by Grand Master Gu’s side. As another of the Four Great Clans, the Li clan naturally had to keep pace—and so they’ve decided to send Li Xiuning to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Guofeng, Song Yuhua, Li Xiuning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing and Shi Feixuan exchanged glances, then Gu Qing asked with a smile: “What about the Yuwen clan? Don’t they have any girls?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was sending girls—Gu Qing saw it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan cast a reproachful glance at Gu Qing: “Grand Master Gu is truly greedy. This has become the Yuwen clan’s most troubling issue—this generation has many men but very few women, and even fewer outstanding ones. If they sent just anyone, they’d risk your displeasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded—he appreciated the Yuwen clan’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet suddenly, Gu Qing had formed ties with the Du, Song, and Li clans—how could Yang Guang possibly sleep now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has Yang Guang in Daxing shown any reaction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing asked: “All three clans have sent girls—won’t Yang Guang send me one too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing found Yang Guang increasingly annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Wan looked at him with deep meaning: “He may send you more than you expect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","aaa4facd5efeea8c99ea92b98886e573548510a30c9e961245beca39b0d9812f","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-281","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-279",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
