Then Gu Qing stepped forward and punched, roaring: “Ba Ji Bang!” Eight layers of force piled upon each other, crushing down upon the tiger demon and Wu Ge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both fists struck the spine directly; the force surged outward, spreading through every limb and bone, shattering their tendons and bones inch by inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You harbored ill intentions toward my sister—you’ve already sealed your own death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s voice was cold: “Out of respect for Heaven’s mercy for life, I’ll spare you today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing appropriately displayed the arrogance of the “Golden Crow,” but as for Wu Ge—he was Xiao Yu’s father, and Gu Qing wouldn’t kill him before Xiao Yu was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox sister rushed over, seeing one’s bones shattered and the other unconscious, frantically fumbling to tend to them; when she looked up again, wary of Gu Qing and the seventh princess, the sunlight was bright, the grass and trees unchanged—Gu Qing and the seventh princess had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yang Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing and the seventh princess stood outside, peering inside; the mansion was empty—Yaoji had already packed the entire family’s belongings, yet the heavenly troops still hadn’t descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie escaped this disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess patted her chest, whispering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yaoji’s original view, bearing children in the mortal realm and staying with Yang Tianyou, watching over her sons and daughters, was merely a hundred years—equivalent to a hundred days in Heaven—so she sealed the Yang family’s magical power to avoid drawing Heaven’s attention, hoping they could live a life free of calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the secret was out, Yaoji must make new plans for the Yang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s return to Heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess glanced at Gu Qing, suddenly feeling something stir within her; she studied his face closely, yet saw no resemblance to any of her brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the source of his power—this could not be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled and said: “Sister, I’ll test you—what flying techniques does our family have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess huffed but answered honestly: “Father uses the Dragon Palanquin, Mother uses the Phoenix Carriage, you all use the Duncang Technique, but only the sisters use the Cloud-Riding Method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded, seeing the seventh princess had no guile, and continued to deceive: “I’ll ride with you using the Cloud-Riding Method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess nodded eagerly: “Of course—your Duncang Technique makes too much noise.” As she spoke, she formed a hand seal; smoke and clouds rose beneath Gu Qing’s feet. She cried, “Rise!” and the clouds lifted him gently upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While flying through the heavens, Gu Qing and the seventh princess chatted, gradually clarifying the cultivation realms of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortal realm cultivation: refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit back to emptiness, merging emptiness with the Dao. In the Immortal realm, there are True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Golden Immortals. Gu Qing assessed himself: having become an Immortal in the White Snake world, he was merely a True Immortal; the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Buddha were likely Golden Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this world, cultivation realm and combat power are not equivalent; though Gu Qing is a True Immortal, using Hou Yi’s archery technique, he can still pierce through a Heavenly Immortal’s Golden Crow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the seventh princess rode the clouds, the Southern Heavenly Gate appeared—densely guarded, heavily fortified. Upon arriving, she quickly pulled Gu Qing aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Golden Crow was badly injured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess leaned closer, observing the heavy guard, her voice tinged with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Golden Crow hadn’t descended to exterminate the Yang family; the seventh princess had some sibling affection for him. Seeing the heavy security, she watched for a moment, then said to Gu Qing: “All your brothers are here—let’s go down quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, they could slip in unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing couldn’t help laughing. Seeing the seventh princess’s eager expression, he asked: “All your brothers are here—how am I supposed to get down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess suddenly realized—she looked into the courtyard: Big Golden Crow lay on the ground, being healed by immortals; the other nine Golden Crows watched nearby—all ten brothers were present. She turned to Gu Qing, startled: “Then you’re…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m your invisible brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible brother…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess thought, her mind turning to the Jade Emperor—had Father done something wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was lost in thought, a white-robed figure glided gracefully forward; the immortals around quickly parted. The Immortal Chang’e of Guanghan Palace arrived, her gaze falling on the arrow embedded in Big Golden Crow. One look made her body tremble; she involuntarily stepped back several paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hou Yi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang’e murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, ten suns scorched the earth; Hou Yi shot down nine. The Queen Mother gave him an elixir of immortality. When Hou Yi went out, Feng Meng tried to steal it; Chang’e, unwilling to let him take it, swallowed the pill herself and ascended to the Moon Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, Chang’e had lived alone in Guanghan Palace for countless ages, still yearning for Hou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this arrow had struck Heaven, as if declaring to the Three Realms: Hou Yi has returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it truly Great God Hou Yi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Crows’ brothers were no longer calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great God Hou Yi has been dead for how many years now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Auntie Chang’e, you’re not mistaken, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hou Yi’s name, the Golden Crows became polite toward Chang’e; calling her “Little Auntie” was out of respect for Yaoji—Chang’e and Yaoji were close friends, and the Golden Crows had all been raised by Yaoji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t be mistaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang’e’s eyes glistened with tears, her teeth clenched, her cold face glowing with joy: “It’s definitely him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing watched from the shadows, seeing Chang’e’s reaction, couldn’t help shaking his head—this ex-husband’s shadow was too heavy. In the White Snake world, it was precisely this that had prevented Gu Qing from breaking through to the final step with Chang’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, she needs a serious dose of reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey…” As Gu Qing and the seventh princess peered, a small voice came from behind. They turned to see a delicate girl with twin topknots, a red cloak, and a golden hoop around her, cautiously asking: “Has Ao Guang ascended yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sized up the “girl,” sighed, and felt disappointed—this girl, as she grew, was turning into the rough, burly Nezha from the Bao Lian Deng story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gave a simple answer, then whispered: “Did you offend Ao Guang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezha immediately denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the time when the Yang family was destroyed, Nezha was causing havoc in the Dragon Sea. Now, young Nezha had angered Ao Guang; as Ao Guang prepared to ascend and complain, Nezha had rushed ahead to intercept. In the original plot, when the Yang family was exterminated, Nezha transformed into the Jade Emperor to rescue San Shengmu, Yang Chan, who was about to be executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing scanned Nezha’s entire body again, confirmed he was male, and turned away with a shake of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezha and Yang Jian were both destined to play key roles in the Fengshen War. As for Gu Qing—he was born with a Dao Body, sought after by all three teachings, and his name was not on the Fengshen List. As long as he didn’t foolishly rush into battle for others, the Fengshen War had little to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Golden Crow is awake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound came from the courtyard. Gu Qing leaned forward: the arrow had been pulled out, Big Golden Crow slowly stirred, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been sent by the Jade Emperor’s decree to unleash a furious calamity upon the Yang family—only to fall asleep right after leaving. Now that he was awake, he was furious enough to burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, everyone’s leaving—where are you going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess asked kindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at the seventh princess’s beautiful face so close to his, gently took her small hand, and said: “Good sister, tell me—aren’t the Pantao  ripening soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess thought carefully, then said: “Yes, some Pantao  are ripening—but these Pantao  aren’t for us to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pantao  ripen every three thousand, six thousand, or nine thousand years. When they ripen, Heaven holds a Pantao  Banquet, inviting immortals from all realms—a method of securing loyalty. But there are rules for eating them: some get one, some get several; the nine-thousand-year Pantao  are reserved only for the most prominent figures in the Three Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held the seventh princess’s hand: “Tell me where the Jade Emperor is—I plan to steal some Pantao .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh princess thought his audacity was too great and was about to refuse—then she remembered his invisible status. Perhaps letting him steal a few Pantao  wasn’t so bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just point me the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the Jade Emperor was supreme; confronting him directly would be suicide. But this was the Jade Emperor of Bao Lian Deng—a man anyone could defy. Besides, Gu Qing wouldn’t strike directly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you two planning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nezha was intrigued, grabbing Gu Qing and the seventh princess’s hands, jumping excitedly: “Take me with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original plot, the Yang family was destroyed, Yaoji was taken to Heaven. Upon hearing her story, the Jade Emperor wanted to forgive her—but Yaoji, enraged by her husband and eldest son’s deaths, stormed his throne. The Jade Emperor flew into a rage; as he cast her down to the mortal realm, he grabbed a nearby Pantao  and ordered it to become Mount Taoshan, crushing Yaoji beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Pantao  on the Jade Emperor’s table was no ordinary peach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this tray of Pantao  that Gu Qing followed the Seven Fairies to Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Southern Heavenly Gate to the Lingxiao Palace, the layout differed from the White Snake world—but the seventh princess guided Gu Qing. He activated his technique, radiating Solar True Fire, and flew into Heaven alongside young Nezha. Both shrank their forms, arriving unnoticed at the Lingxiao Palace’s outer gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was sulking: his beloved sister had borne children in the mortal realm; her children had risen to challenge Heaven—and been struck down immediately. Now the Jade Emperor was pondering where things had gone wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, good news—Big Golden Crow has awakened!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A celestial servant entered to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What good news is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor frowned: “How is the arrest of Yaoji proceeding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one answered. Big Golden Crow, the commander, had been struck down right after leaving the Southern Heavenly Gate. Marshal Tianpeng, the deputy, wanted only to slack off and secretly aid Yaoji. As a result, the entire army had stalled at the Southern Heavenly Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor grunted: “Order Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian to descend to the mortal realm, capture Yaoji, and condemn the Yang family to eternal damnation. Also, dispatch celestial soldiers to the Underworld to locate Hou Yi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hou Yi appearing, the Golden Crows dared not leave Heaven—the Jade Emperor had far fewer usable troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assigning Marshal Tianpeng as commander was already a last resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Nu bowed and withdrew slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor rose to his feet, when suddenly a buzzing filled his ears—he sensed something was amiss, for mosquitoes could not possibly fly to the Heavenly Court. He immediately called out, summoning Tian Nu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re heartless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Nezha appeared, stepping directly onto the table and pointing at the Jade Emperor: “Yaoji is your sister; all the Yang family are your nephews and nieces. Yet you plan to strike them down—how cold and heartless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this about the Yang family had come from Gu Qing and the Seventh Princess. Nezha, though young, had a strong sense of justice; hearing such a thing, he naturally felt sympathy for the Yang family. Now, hearing the Jade Emperor’s command, he was furious. After pointing at the Jade Emperor and berating him, he snatched a Pantao  from the table and sped away on his Wind-Fire Wheels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor flew into a rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To insult him was bad enough—but to curse him and steal the Pantao  too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the little girl in red, so young yet so skilled, the Jade Emperor paced twice, guessing her origin lay somewhere between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect. He sighed. The Heavenly Court was weak now; he had no power over either the Chan or the Jie Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Lingxiao Palace, Nezha immediately concealed his form, found Gu Qing and the Seventh Princess, and pulled the Pantao  from his arms: “Here, the Pantao  are ours—let’s share them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lingxiao Palace, Nezha had taken seven Pantao , but he was generous—he spread them out and let Gu Qing and the Seventh Princess choose first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You deserve the greatest credit for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing did not greedily take more than he needed. He selected two, handing one to the Seventh Princess, then said to Nezha: “I hear you have a master and family in the mortal realm. Take these Pantao  home—they’ll enjoy them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Pantao  is enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2323,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","73a58ecbe879264e2f86aa1a8162c156eb5406e2ff6fd54e01c99219148aedd9","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-385","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-383",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
