The Tian Gang Bei Dou Array was designed to protect these lower-tier disciples—should the Demon Cult ever attack, this method could save many of their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This array is truly mysterious—it compensates for the weaknesses of Qingyun’s junior disciples.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his calculations, Cang Song Daoist turned to Gu Qing and said with deliberate implication: “It would take decades, perhaps, to perfect an array to this degree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must have been done by Master Wan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled and offered no rebuttal; the array before him was forged from the Quanzhen Sect’s Tian Gang Bei Dou Array as its base, supplemented by the Big Dipper Array from Lu Xiaofeng’s world, combined with various Heji  techniques Gu Qing had witnessed—including the Phantom Divine Art from The Greatest in the World—making it both resilient and formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Gu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the array disbanded for rest, Lin Jingyu stepped forward, having also been practicing the formation: “I watched your battle with Qi Hao, Senior Brother Gu. Your swordplay is bold and magnificent—truly formidable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu possessed extraordinary talent but a somewhat extreme temperament. Though favored by Cang Song on Longshou Peak, he always felt something missing in his sword cultivation. After witnessing Gu Qing’s duel with Qi Hao, he felt he had found that missing element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you wish to learn, I can teach you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled. Lin Jingyu was, after all, the original disciple of Wan Jianyi in the novel, and his nature resonated deeply with the Zhan Guishen Method—Gu Qing had every intention of nurturing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you so much, Senior Brother Gu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu replied eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many disciples of Longshou Peak at the Jade Clarity third and second levels exchanged glances. Once, Qi Hao had been the senior disciple, and they all coveted the Cold Ice Immortal Sword. But now, Gu Qing’s swordsmanship surpassed Qi Hao’s, and Longshou Peak had a new choice. Soon, many disciples gathered around Gu Qing—even those who practiced the Cold Ice Immortal Sword came to him, seeking instruction in “Shinri-ryu: Frost Annihilation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao said nothing, merely continued his duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Gu, the sister from Xiaozhu Peak is looking for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word arrived from Longshou Peak. The disciples turned to Gu Qing, their envy growing—they all knew Gu Qing had a close relationship with Lu Xueqi, the most beautiful female disciple of Xiaozhu Peak in five centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao heard the news and remained silent… In decades of solitude, he had thought of finding a wife, but never found anyone suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Gu Qing was both the top disciple and the most beautiful—truly a winner in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Sister Wen Min.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of Longshou Peak, Gu Qing saw the beautiful woman with a delicate oval face and recognized her as Wen Min, greeting her accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Min was the senior disciple of Xiaozhu Peak. Sixty years ago at the Seven Peaks Martial Competition, she and Song my lord of Dasou Peak had mutual feelings, yet both kept their emotions buried, never voiced aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master wants to see you. Will you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Min studied Gu Qing with her beautiful eyes and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing answered immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Gu Qing’s demeanor, Wen Min couldn’t help thinking of Song my lord—wondering when he might catch her master’s attention…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Min flew on her sword, and Gu Qing summoned Zhan Long Sword, flying beside her through the sea of clouds toward Xiaozhu Peak. Wen Min said: “Ever since Lu Shimei returned to the mountain, our master has been waiting for you to come calling—but you never came. Now that you’ve entered the mountain, you must explain yourself to her first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had taken Lu Xueqi on a tour around the mountain and still hadn’t reported to Xiaozhu Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded with a smile and asked: “How has Xueqi been lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In seclusion, cultivating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Min said: “I hear our master has taught her the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Scripture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Scripture could only be applied at the ninth level of Jade Clarity. Lu Xueqi, after walking the mountain with Gu Qing, had found the Heavenly Book, achieved the fusion of Dao and Buddha, and shattered the bottleneck in the Taiji Xuanqing Dao—she could now practice Qingyun Sect’s supreme secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing, hearing this, naturally rejoiced for Lu Xueqi. In the original Zhu Xian, Lu Xueqi had already reached Jade Clarity ninth level in Taiji Xuanqing Dao and should have been the top young cultivator—but she was outshone by Zhang Xiaofan, whose meridians were unbreakable and whose demonic weapon surpassed all. Now, with Gu Qing’s cultivation, Lu Xueqi had mastered both the Great Brahma Sutra, the Heavenly Book, and sword scriptures—every aspect perfected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaozhu Peak had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing and Wen Min fell silent, walking side by side to Xiaozhu Peak’s Quiet Hall. After Wen Min announced him, Gu Qing entered alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Shuiyue turned slowly, her gaze fixed tightly on Gu Qing’s eyes, and said bluntly: “Tell me about the master of Zhan Long Sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi had come to her and said only that the Zhan Long Sword’s master loved her—nothing more. This had haunted Master Shuiyue for days; the thought that Wan Jianyi might still be alive made her body tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I met an old man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said calmly: “That old man was deeply desolate. Over the years, he had aged terribly—his face lined, his hair white, his body thin and wasted, many parts like skin stretched over bone. But his one remaining hand was still a swordsman’s hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had just met Wan Jianyi and learned sword techniques from him. Now, describing Wan Jianyi’s current state, he made Master Shuiyue’s heart tremble, her legs weak—she collapsed onto her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where… where is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Shuiyue stared at Gu Qing, asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing shook his head. The timing was not yet ripe—he would not say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Shuiyue’s gaze lowered, remembering everything from a hundred years ago. She murmured: “Of course… he would not appear now…” But thinking of Wan Jianyi’s current state, she felt a piercing agony in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did he tell you… about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Shuiyue thought of the message “Wan Jianyi loves me,” and wanted to confirm it with Gu Qing. If Gu Qing confirmed it, she would abandon her position as head of Xiaozhu Peak and rush to find Wan Jianyi without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded and said: “Lately, he’s been trying to regain his youth, to resume his cultivation. To love someone—you can never truly hide it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Master Shuiyue was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled. If it were truly true that Wan Jianyi loved two people, then perhaps that was why he could hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1278,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6b51dee22f247c82da30c88a14a2576005e5e598a3e102d0bf8d2e01e992f8e4","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-320","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-318",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
