Today, Puti, one of the Four Great Buddhist Masters, arrived at Qingyun Mountain, seeking to unravel the mystery of immortality, and proposed exchanging Tianyin Temple’s “Great Brahma Sutra” for Qingyun Gate’s “Taiji Xuanqing Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea was too bizarre; Qingyun Gate naturally declined. But the weapon embedded in Puti’s prayer beads—the Bloodsucking Pearl—caught the attention of Cangsong Daoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Cangsong Daoist will ambush Puti, intending to steal the Bloodsucking Pearl, triggering the tragedy of Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind arose from nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing suddenly rose and looked out, seeing a black smoke swirling around a boy, circling above Caomiao Village. The commotion suddenly shot straight toward the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puti, inside the temple, leapt out and clashed with the figure within the black mist, rescuing Lin Jingyu. Just as he prepared to strike again, a blood-red banner descended from the sky, and ghostly wails erupted all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is a cultivator’s artifact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing watched the supernatural powers of the cultivation world and felt they were top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puti stared at the banner and roared: “How could you be so utterly heartless!” As he spoke, he formed a hand seal; the Buddha’s power to subdue demons became a golden dharma wheel, crushing toward the poison banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces collided; the void cracked with grinding sounds, the surroundings turned pitch-black, as if a thunderclap was about to burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Puti’s arm went numb; his whole body convulsed, as if some strange force was closing in on his heart. He looked down and saw a centipede crawling out of Lin Jingyu’s body—palm-sized, its tail split into seven branches, each a different color, stunningly beautiful yet the most deadly poison in the world: the Seven-Tailed Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You placed this centipede on this boy—you’re targeting me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puti stared at the black-robed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hand over the Bloodsucking Pearl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the demonic sects, there was a Blood Refining Hall, once led by the Black-Hearted Elder, who briefly unified the demonic sects and became the world’s greatest demon lord. His prized artifact was the Bloodsucking Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Black-Hearted Elder’s death, the artifact vanished. Puti happened upon it, sensed its heavy malevolence, and strung it onto his prayer beads, hoping Buddhist teachings could nurture it and weaken its evil power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puti’s expression hardened with resolve; he prepared to let the poison ravage his heart and fight the black-robed man to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant white blade-light flashed toward the black-robed figure in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden turn startled the black-robed figure; before he could react, the flying knife was already upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the black-robed figure, air currents spun like a millstone, yin and yang interwoven, completely blocking the flying knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this display of power immediately revealed his origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puti stared at the black-robed figure and exclaimed: “Taiji Xuanqing Dao—you’re from Qingyun Gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiji Xuanqing Dao is Qingyun Gate’s foundational orthodox technique, never taught outside the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure’s gaze flashed like lightning, fixed on the source of the flying knife—another figure emerged from the shadows, around twenty years old, holding a flying knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure’s voice was cold; he gripped his sword, and a faint blade-light quietly bloomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not bad at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember my favorite novel, “Cun Mang,” where the protagonist’s technique was the knife art passed down by Li Xunhuan after shattering the void—hence the name “Cun Mang.” Now, Gu Qing truly knows Xiao Li Flying Knife and has truly reached the Shatter-Void level. His flying knife may not shine brightly, but it’s formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master, be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Puti had shattered the soul banner and was channeling Great Brahma Sutra to suppress the strange poison within him. Seeing Gu Qing and the black-robed figure about to clash, he said: “This isn’t just any Qingyun rogue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his brief clash with the black-robed figure, Puti sensed his opponent was his equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure glanced at Gu Qing, then at Puti, stepped back, thrust his sword skyward, preparing to use Qingyun Gate’s secret technique: “Divine Sword Controlling Thunder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s left hand swept over the flying knife, coating it in red and blue hues. With a flick of his wrist, the knife pierced the air toward the black-robed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons world, Gu Qing never found the Divine Warrior’s Map, but he had collected the Devilish Strategy, activated the Devil Seed, and fully integrated his martial arts—he understood perfectly how to fuse utmost yang and utmost yin. Yet in this new world, the rules differed; he could not shatter the void. Still, the power of utmost yin and utmost yang remained his deadliest weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Xuan died beneath a sword that fused utmost yin and utmost yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This knife strike forced even the black-robed figure to hastily raise his sword. Around him, talismanic patterns flickered, interweaving and resonating; the void cracked with a thunderous boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure blocked the knife, glanced at the poisoned Puti, realized he could not succeed tonight, spun around, and fled toward Qingyun Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing turned back and saw Zhang Xiaofan had unknowingly entered the temple, eyes wide, watching the night’s events. Seeing this, Gu Qing spun away, his cultivation speed not matching sword-flight, but with a single Lion’s Roar, his inner power surged, overtaking the fleeing black-robed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cangsong, you don’t want anyone to know you attacked Puti, raised the Seven-Tailed Centipede, and forged demonic artifacts, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyun Mountain has seven peaks. The sect leader resides on Tongtian Peak; the others are Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak, Longshou Peak, Fenghui Peak, Chaoyang Peak, and Luoxia Peak. Each peak has a chief who governs its domain. Cangsong Daoist is the chief of Longshou Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Cangsong froze, turned to Gu Qing, his eyes brimming with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I ask for little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stated his terms directly: “I intend to become your disciple on Longshou Peak. I’ll follow you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangsong’s gaze flickered, his demeanor uncertain; after a moment, he asked: “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because following you has a future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no lie—among the seven chiefs, Cangsong had already betrayed the sect and was the first to leave his position open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangsong murmured twice, exchanged a few more words with Gu Qing, then leapt away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Gu Qing hurry back, see the silk tied to a stone, quickly connect the bamboo tube, then slowly pull the thread until he heard movement inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Puti was speaking to Zhang Xiaofan. Despite the poison in his body, Puti, determined to fulfill his grand wish, intended to transmit the Great Brahma Sutra to Zhang Xiaofan, hoping Zhang would achieve the fusion of Buddhist and Daoist paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Puti never imagined that the bamboo tube and silk thread in the corner were capturing every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puti taught the secret; Gu Qing eavesdropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a2427f6b225e177727ae75535e4b23abf939bec18168d89dc0a27f0dfb502f82","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-302","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-300",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
