Chapter 282: The Strange Use of the Indestructible Seal

The Indestructible Seal was spread out on the table before Gu Qing, revealing all the martial secrets of the Evil King, Shi Zhixuan.

The martial arts of the Demonic Sect were fundamentally about transforming Qi into a thousand forms, endless and inexhaustible. Shi Zhixuan's Indestructible Seal, beyond its ability to perceive enemies and disrupt their senses, focused primarily on the endless cycle of Qi, transforming between life and death. Gu Qing studied these changes in detail, merging the Indestructible Seal with his own strikes and techniques, gaining a deeper understanding of martial transformation.

"Not much of this is usable."

Gu Qing immediately began to ponder the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art.

The Dao Heart Planting Demon Art held a pivotal position in the Huang System world. Once a man cultivated this technique, his body would emit a strange fragrance, and he would exert a fatal attraction over women. In *God of the Great River*, Han Bo relied on the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art to enjoy immense romantic fortune.

Beyond this attraction, the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art was also a supreme method pointing directly to Shattering the Void. Once mastered, one's spirit would become like substance, penetrating everything and perceiving all, causing enemies to fall into endless illusions.

This was the true missing piece for Gu Qing.

In the chamber, Shi Feixuan, who was sitting in meditation, felt a stir in her heart. She opened her eyes; just then, her Immortal Fetus sensed the Demon Seed growing rapidly. Although surprised by the speed of the Demon Seed's growth, she was a person of extraordinary character and performed extraordinary deeds, so she calmed her mind and waited quietly for the Demon Seed to mature.

The moonlit night was cool.

In the room, a figure appeared out of nowhere, wearing a heavy veil, her eyes containing a trace of coldness, yet as she stood there, her body exuded a subtle allure.

Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan.

"Grand Tutor Gu."

Zhu Yuyan's voice was soft, like a dream, saying, "Today I have already delivered Wan Wan to your side. Two of the three conditions have been met. As for the last one—helping me achieve the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art—when does the Grand Tutor intend to fulfill it?"

The Heavenly Demon Art, cultivated to Zhu Yuyan's level, was already ever-changing and unfathomable. Zhu Yuyan stood at a distance, but the heat of her voice reached Gu Qing's ear, as if she were beside him, complaining softly.

After delivering Wan Wan to Gu Qing's side, Zhu Yuyan had remained nearby. Sensing the abnormal Qi, she had come to Gu Qing's side to inquire about the cultivation method.

"Right now."

Gu Qing looked at Zhu Yuyan.

There were three paths to achieving the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art: the first was Xiang Yutian's cultivation method; the second was the method recorded in the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art—the demonic art Pang Ban achieved by wearing a green hat himself; as for the third, it was the method from *God of the Great River* where Chi Zunxin sacrificed himself to allow Han Bo to achieve the art.

Zhu Yuyan's eyes were clear. Having been deceived by Shi Zhixuan in the past, losing her virginity and preventing her martial arts from reaching the pinnacle, this Dao Heart Planting Demon Art was, for her, a potential new beginning.

"How should we do it?"

Zhu Yuyan looked at Gu Qing.

The process of cultivating this art was extremely dangerous, involving not only the dispersal of cultivation but also self-torture and a death-and-rebirth experience—results Zhu Yuyan could not bear.

If Zhu Yuyan wanted to cultivate this art, she had to follow the second path: finding someone to plant the Demon Seed, then harvesting it, merging a person's essence, spirit, and Qi into the Demon Seed to utilize it. This way, her own martial arts would not be damaged and could even advance further.

"I can help you achieve it."

Gu Qing said.

Zhu Yuyan's eyes turned cold, and she said indifferently, "Are you joking with me?"

To achieve the Dao Heart Planting Demon Art required the sacrifice of one person. Gu Qing was now the world's number one, making many people lose sleep. Zhu Yuyan did not believe Gu Qing would sacrifice his own life to help her.

"Of course not."

Gu Qing looked at Zhu Yuyan and smiled. "The Yin Empress must also pay a small price." As he spoke, he walked to Zhu Yuyan's side, looking down slightly. Zhu Yuyan was slender, reaching Gu Qing's brow. After their bodies pressed close, the veil pressed against her cheek, outlining her beautiful silhouette.

Zhu Yuyan looked up at Gu Qing's face and sneered, "Grand Tutor Gu's defenses are invincible, but Yuyan doesn't necessarily fear you." Gu Qing reached out and slowly wrapped his arm around Zhu Yuyan's slender waist, feeling how delicate yet powerful it was. He nodded slightly, forehead against hers, and said, "I have already condensed the Demon Seed and reached the realm of 'Planting the Other'. The rest is just nourishing and urging the demon; the path ahead is smooth. I want to give the Demon Seed to you. Do you have the courage to steal the seed?"

There were many dual-cultivation techniques in the Demonic Sect that benefited oneself at the expense of others, and the Maiden's Art was one of them. In *The Great Tang*, when Long Ying first formed the Demon Seed, Fatty Eunuch worried that Wu Zetian would use this technique to steal it.

Zhu Yuyan stared at Gu Qing, realizing she was facing a brand-new challenge. If she retreated now, it would have a huge impact on her martial heart.

"Am I to achieve you? Or are you to complete the 'Planting the Other' stage?"

Gu Qing said softly, "Our hearts are not yet aligned; we are wary of each other, yet we are giving our all, and we are engaging in the most intimate act in the world... Do you dare?"

As he spoke, Gu Qing pulled out Zhu Yuyan's hairpin and loosened her hair, which cascaded down like a waterfall. Zhu Yuyan squinted at Gu Qing, then suddenly acted boldly, reaching out to loosen Gu Qing's belt. They helped each other; before Gu Qing saw Zhu Yuyan's true face, he saw her body first.

Slender waist, long legs, and astonishing curves.

After the veil was removed, the dark night seemed to come alive, filled with soft, murmuring sounds.

"Master?"

Wan Wan sensed the Heavenly Demon Art and suddenly rose, coming to the door of Gu Qing's room. Hearing the sounds rising and falling within, she could never have imagined that the pleading voice inside belonged to the famous Yin Empress.

It was near noon.

!

The door opened, and Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan walked out, her hair disheveled, draped in a gauze dress. The first thing she saw was Wan Wan guarding the door. She gave an order for Wan Wan to bring tea, drank three cups in a row, and only then did her throat feel less dry.

"Master, last night..."

Wan Wan's eyes turned, full of curiosity.

Zhu Yuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if recalling the storm of the previous night. Her expression shifted several times before she said, "Gu Qing kept his word and really gave me the Demon Seed."

This Demon Seed had been urged several times within Zhu Yuyan's body, flowing through her meridians. Not only did it give the "Heavenly Realm" of the Heavenly Demon Art a master, but the martial wisdom contained within allowed her martial arts to advance greatly. Zhu Yuyan had never imagined that the pinnacle of martial arts could have such magnificent transformations.

"Congratulations, Master!"

Wan Wan sincerely congratulated Zhu Yuyan, her eyes glancing toward the room, wanting to see how Gu Qing was doing.

Zhu Yuyan blocked Wan Wan's view.

"Master?"

Wan Wan was puzzled.
