She refused to pay me to alter her destiny, yet still came bothering me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering curses, Zhou Yixian led Xiao Huan away from the mortuary; night was falling, and this place was too inauspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re cultivators—why should they believe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Huan was speaking when she suddenly fell silent, shrinking with Zhou Yixian into the shadows; both gazed upward as lightning flashed across the sky, and two figures landed one after the other—the first shrouded in ghostly shadows, red light flickering intermittently from his hands; the second wore white robes, held a green sword, and carried himself with noble bearing, each strike summoning pillars of light that crashed like mountains and seas against the ghostly figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are the Daoists of Qingyun Sect subduing a demon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Huan asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then this demon is no ordinary one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yixian ground his teeth slightly and said, “This white-robed man’s cultivation could make him Qingyun’s patriarch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Huan gasped, watching the mountain-like pillars of light blaze forth, while below, the ghostly shadow dodged left and right, evading every one of those oceanic sword qi strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a body technique—even Zhou Yixian was astonished; then his eyes flickered slightly, as if he’d realized something unthinkable, staring in shock at the figure shrouded in black smoke on the open ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, you truly are my good disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi gripped the Zhanlong Sword, teeth clenched in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Shuiyue Master confessed to him, Wan Jianyi had felt something was off; afterward, he began auditing accounts with each of Qingyun’s sect leaders—and uncovered a bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi had endured humiliation and hardship for a hundred years, finally being publicly vindicated by Daoxuan; he’d imagined the script would be: “I left for a century, and my brothers all regretted it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Gu Qing’s meddling, the script became: “I guarded the Ancestral Hall for a century—and was despised by the entire sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the furious Wan Jianyi unleashed one hundred thousand sword qi strikes at Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing grinned and said, “I was just worried about your marriage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worried about my marriage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi roared, “You meant your own marriage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi knew Gu Qing had spun these rumors solely to ensure Shuiyue Master wouldn’t interfere when Gu Qing met Lu Xueqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of courting a woman, Gu Qing had thrown all dignity away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a hundred years of solitude in the Ancestral Hall, Wan Jianyi’s edge had dulled; suddenly, the sect leaders summoned him—he thought it a sign his suffering was ending. But he never imagined: if you could endure hardship, you’d endure it forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reputation had been ruined by Gu Qing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of thing is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Wan Jianyi fated to have an inauspicious old age?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And your true identity…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi stared at Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Cangsong Daoist’s eyes, Gu Qing was Wan Jianyi’s disciple, who had uncovered Cangsong’s secrets through him and stopped them, thereby entering Qingyun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Wan Jianyi’s eyes, Gu Qing was Cangsong Daoist’s disciple, who held the Zhanlong Sword and had caught his eye—fate had brought them together, so Wan Jianyi took him as a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When these two accounts clashed, Gu Qing’s origins became a mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Act without action; do without doing; taste without tasting. Treat great as small, many as few; repay hatred with virtue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sighed helplessly: “Born yet not possessed; acted yet not clinging; grown yet not ruling—this is profound virtue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing quoted the Dao Jing, trying to teach Wan Jianyi what virtue meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, a man so devoid of virtue, really think you should teach me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi raised an eyebrow, coldly speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What nonsense! What kind of nonsense is this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taiji Qingxu Dao is Qingyun Sect’s legendary scripture. Since you’ve taken me as your master and are under Qingyun, I must know your origins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had indeed rendered great service—killing Dushen, seizing the Fulong Ding from the Ghost King Sect, sowing discord between the Ghost King Sect and the Joyful Sect—all had greatly aided Qingyun; without Gu Qing, Wan Jianyi would still be in the Ancestral Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of taking a master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled and said, “I’ve already transferred my talent to Daoxuan Zhenren—I’m eager to learn the Seven-Star Sword Form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Cangsong and Wan Jianyi, Gu Qing wished them luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi, provoked repeatedly by Gu Qing, couldn’t help but laugh bitterly in anger; he gripped the Zhanlong Sword, its sword qi surging, terrifying in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan exchanged a silent glance; both felt they’d overheard something forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at Wan Jianyi’s posture, sighed deeply, and murmured: “Fine—I’m actually a descendant of Qingyunzi; I’m the thirteenth generation. If we count lineage, you eighteenth-generation fools should call me Ancestor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi stared at Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan looked at each other in confusion—you’re the thirteenth generation? Then what am I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our lineage studies Qingyunzi’s face-reading arts and basic martial arts techniques.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing lied smoothly: “We normally lie low among mortals, but since a great calamity approaches and Qingyun Sect is divided, I’ve risked everything to intervene—to save all living beings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi couldn’t help but laugh aloud at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You stole the Xuanhuo Mirror from Fengxiang Valley—does that count as saving all living beings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi didn’t know Gu Qing carried the Dafan Bannuo, but the Xuanhuo Mirror was the clearest proof of Gu Qing’s selfish motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sneered: “Before Qingyunzi died, he ordered Qingyun Sect to guard Mount Qingyun, saying it would one day flourish. In your eyes, is that because Qingyun Sect had good fengshui, gifted people, and a brilliant figure like Qingye?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi’s eyes filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing bluffed: “Qingyun Sect was built entirely along water veins, with the Water Qilin as a divine beast—all to oppose fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oppose fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuanhuo Mirror?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi stared at Gu Qing for a long moment, then said: “You’re full of lies—I don’t know which word of yours is true…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re all lies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing merely nodded mysteriously, covering everything, and said: “Actually, I don’t even bear the surname Gu—I’m surnamed Zhou. My real name is Zhou Qing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I naturally cultivate the Dafan Bannuo—after all, Buddhism is Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, I will transcend the great calamity and become one of the Four Pure Ones of Pangu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi watched Gu Qing’s pretentious demeanor, tested the Zhanlong Sword a few times, but didn’t strike; he sighed silently and said: “First, deal with the Fengxiang Valley matter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengxiang Valley had heard of the Wudou Sect’s troubles and had already come knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden in the shadows, Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan felt as if Gu Qing’s gaze had brushed against theirs; both turned pale and dared not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, have you forgiven me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s voice was soft as he called Wan Jianyi “Master” again—after all, Zhan Guishen still rested in Wan Jianyi’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi sighed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he born to carry other people’s burdens?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d carried one burden for a hundred years—and now another had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi felt his old age was far from peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ca12ed060e0426484dd10ada48e7f7bf91bf53bd3c1cb16a355cfa4bff4e2f16","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-337","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-335",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
