He bowed with neither arrogance nor humility, yet addressed him as “Divine Lord,” saying: “This humble Daoist, Gu Qing, newly entered the Dao Court, am honored to behold your true countenance—it is a fortune of three lifetimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emperor is the Son of Heaven; apart from having a father on earth, he also has a father in heaven, called the Sensing Emperor—meaning he was conceived through the spiritual resonance between his mother and the heavens, so at his birth, many portents often appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sensing Emperor of the Great Song is the Red Emperor, venerated by Song emperors, who in return blesses them with red light enveloping them and purple qi entwining their bodies, ensuring mutual non-interference between the imperial house and the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Master’s gaze burned as he scrutinized Gu Qing from head to toe: “Your qi is unmistakably that of a natural Dao body—why then resort to deceitful schemes, provoking divine wrath?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Divine Lord, permit me to explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said: “The Liang Prince’s Mansion is greedy, cruel, tyrannical, full of treachery, theft, fraud, and deception—its oppression of the people is extreme. What this humble Daoist has done is merely to skillfully guide and reveal the truth to the world. The misfortune befalling the Liang Prince’s Mansion is the karmic retribution for its own hidden malice. This is the principle of the Divine Way: to teach through warning. It naturally aligns with the divine will. As for scheming—I drew the bow, pulled the arrow; the explosion came from gunpowder, the letter from ink and brush. I used no divine methods. I beg Your Divine Lord to judge fairly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s words were logical and coherent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sharp tongue, sharp teeth—you’re far from the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Master sneered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing, hearing the Fire Master refuse to listen, flew into a rage—but Gu Qing seized her hand. Seeing Gu Qing’s pained expression, she stepped forward and said: “Your Divine Lord speaks truly. This humble Daoist is full of cunning, and even after extraordinary fortune, he still fails to comprehend its deeper meaning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Gu Qing handed the Fire Master a scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Master took the scroll and subtly flipped through it beneath his sleeve, discovering it contained the secret technique “Mystic Fire Chain”—the very chain that had trapped Little White in the Mystic Fire Altar of the Zhuxian world. The technique was filled with unique insights; the Fire Master, drawing analogies, gained profound understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tucked the scroll into his sleeve, and his expression changed: “Come to think of it, this whole affair is the Liang Prince’s Mansion’s own doing—it bears no blame from others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing stared, dumbfounded by the sudden shift in the boy’s demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This matter ends here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Master looked at Gu Qing: “Your name has already been recorded in the Heavenly Court; your path to Dao is near. But if on Qingming Festival you place a jar of the strongest liquor in Lin’an within your home, light a spirit-summoning incense beside it, and scatter flowers in your courtyard, perhaps your position will advance faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a clear hint to Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing immediately bowed, thanking the Fire Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You need not go to the Liang Prince’s Mansion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Master said coolly: “The Divine Way values stillness. Do not lose your primordial spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing bowed again, thanking him once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of red light flashed—and the Fire Master vanished before Gu Qing and Xiao Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That immortal...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing ground her teeth in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you dare speak rashly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sternly silenced Xiao Qing, preventing her from slandering the immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Dao of Immortals demands both inner cultivation and social connections—only then can one go far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing bit down hard on Gu Qing’s handback, intending to make him flinch—but as her teeth met his skin, she felt his muscles smooth and lustrous, a strange fragrance filling her senses. Before she could even press, her own strength faded; warmth surged in her slender waist as Gu Qing pulled her close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at each other, an intimate tension rising—until, just as the atmosphere grew awkward, Gu Qing said: “Brother, your waist is so slender.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing broke free, lightly tapped her foot, and vanished into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sniffed the spot on his hand where she had bitten, smiled faintly, collected his thoughts, and walked home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many immortals in this world; Gu Qing dared not speak freely of divine matters, fearing he might inadvertently invite disaster. Besides, they accepted gifts and delivered results—he couldn’t follow Xiao Qing in cursing: “You country bumpkins of the Heavenly Court, come to Hangzhou to make a living!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest liquor...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the highest alcohol content again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could industrial alcohol do the trick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like a sealed-bid auction—once you were determined to win, you inevitably overextended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Zhao Gou held the letter, reading its words, trembling slightly... the phrase “abandoning the Central Plains” was like a slap across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou may be the “flier over the sea,” the rebel hero who resisted the Song—but you can’t say it aloud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blasphemy against Heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou flung the paper, roaring: “Investigate! Get to the bottom of this! Find this man!” Then, overcome with dizziness, he collapsed into his chair. His ministers and physicians rushed forward, soothing him, pouring him medicine, until he regained his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring out the White Fat Jade Purifying Vase, the Divine Jun Tian Music Scroll, the Fiery Spirit Pearl, the Eight Trigrams Chart—everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou commanded fiercely: “He comes tomorrow to claim them—I’ll see how he takes them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou’s rage had overwhelmed him; when power is challenged and one is powerless, authority crumbles. Zhao Gou must preserve his dignity and suppress this public scandal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace staff immediately inventoried the treasure vaults, searching for the four items—but these names appeared only on foreign tribute lists; none existed in the vaults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou, furious yet suddenly calm, realized this was a terrible conspiracy aimed squarely at his reputation. The opponent had already seized the items—and now dared to taunt him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would ruin his name completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou had no heir; his mind wandered uncontrollably. As he pondered, he unconsciously walked to the Sensing Emperor’s shrine, staring blankly at the statue of the Red Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My treasures, my treasures—where are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou muttered, mentally reviewing every court minister, wondering who might plot to usurp the throne. In foreign affairs he was weak, but in court intrigue he was truly skilled—his ability to preserve the Southern Song in the south, ensuring its survival, proved his competence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, a slip of paper fluttered down, landing precisely before Zhao Gou’s eyes. It was a torn page from some unknown book—but on it, clearly written, were the two characters: “Liang Wang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou snapped his head up, staring at the Red Emperor’s statue, bowing repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was divine revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou immediately summoned men, ordering them to investigate the Liang Prince’s Mansion. If the items were truly there, he would strike the mansion with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1378,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e5c22423b8439349a63f9a6444d1d2d3739ff5d4e8d68427b3581825e996d9a3","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-348","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-346",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
