Hearing Master Yuding’s words, he stepped forward with a grin. “They two pushed me out. That man and woman? They’re my parents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding locked eyes with Sun Wukong. The monkey’s gaze was clear, almost foolish. He reached out, ruffled the monkey’s head, neither angry nor annoyed—and felt a sudden urge to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you bring this monkey here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding turned to Gu Qing and Yang Chan, instinctively adopting the air of a lofty immortal. “I’m writing here on Kunlun Mountain—I must focus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Master Yuding, the cave he occupied was a secret base he’d found while studying under Yuanshi Tianzun—even Yuanshi Tianzun couldn’t locate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need some secret manuals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing squatted before Master Yuding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding, beside Yuanshi Tianzun, had perfect recall and mastered all secret methods of the Chan Sect. He’d simply taught Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, even passed on the Split-Heaven Divine Palm to Fox Sister—truly top-tier. Gu Qing had long wanted to exchange with him; now, of course, he came to extract secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding fanned himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard you’ve been writing all along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I plan to write under your name, Master Yuding—a treatise on how an ordinary immortal might infiltrate Heaven and assassinate the Jade Emperor. After all, I know Heaven well…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke with composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding’s expression shifted. After all, Gu Qing was the man who’d stormed Heaven and faced the Jade Emperor head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yuding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled sweetly. “You don’t want the Jade Emperor putting out a warrant for you, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sun Wukong later rebelled in Heaven, Master Yuding had repeatedly wanted to reveal Sun Wukong as his disciple—but Sun Wukong kept descending to the mortal realm, leaving Master Yuding trembling with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Chan Sect immortals preferred sneaky mischief over direct confrontation with the Jade Emperor. Taiyi Tianzun did it. Master Yuding did it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding forced a smile. “How can I help you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Great Immortal Scripture. The Eight-Nine Profound Skill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said: “You must hand over at least one of these two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Immortal Scripture? The Eight-Nine Profound Skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding scratched his head. “I only have one Chan Sect protective technique: the Eight-Nine Heavenly Skill. This monkey lacks Heaven’s bloodline—cultivating it would drain vast resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Resources? No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing patted his chest, making an immediate guarantee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sun Wukong rebelled in Heaven, he ate peaches, drank immortal wine, and swallowed Golden Core pills—all top-tier resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuding, relieved he wouldn’t need to supply resources, pinched Sun Wukong’s arm. “This little monkey is born with all meridians open—his talent rivals Yang Jian’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jian was currently Master Yuding’s most proud disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two disciples will both bring you glory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong seized the moment and immediately kowtowed to Master Yuding as his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chan watched tenderly. So much had happened these past days—with this little monkey causing chaos—the grief over her father’s death had already been greatly eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had learned the Seventy-Two Transformations from Taiyi Tianzun. Now, as Master Yuding taught Sun Wukong, he no longer hid anything from Gu Qing, explaining the Eight-Nine Heavenly Skill step by step. Gu Qing recorded it with Good Deeds, silently deducing it—he sensed that though this technique was a protective cultivation method, it carried the essence of “one meridian open, all meridians open.” Sun Wukong needn’t painstakingly refine his powers; in the future, encountering any immortal technique in the Three Realms, he’d simply understand it upon seeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cloud Somersault!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong leapt into the sky, moving through mist and clouds. Though heaven and earth were separated by ninety thousand li, his leap carried him one hundred and eight thousand li—far above the Southern Heavenly Gate, looking down upon Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing appeared beside Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong turned, startled—only to see Gu Qing leading the way, dragging him through the Southern Heavenly Gate straight into the Milky Way. As they landed, the river’s waters took form, and Ruoshui appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is your water mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing told Sun Wukong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruoshui materialized, about to rage upon seeing Gu Qing—then froze upon hearing him tell the monkey to call her “Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong glanced between Gu Qing and Ruoshui. Having trained under Master Yuding for years, he was no longer naive. His eyes darted, then he bowed obediently. “Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruoshui asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the embodiment of human emotion, having endured endless loneliness in Heaven. She’d once been ready to flee Heaven—but Gu Qing’s strength had drawn her back to the Milky Way. He’d promised to find her, then vanished for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he had a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I brought him to Heaven for exposure—and to toughen him up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing tossed Sun Wukong into the air above the Milky Way. “Now, unleash the river’s waters against him… My child isn’t used to water combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruoshui flicked her hand. The Milky Way’s waters surged from all directions toward Sun Wukong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped within, Sun Wukong cried out, activating Gu Qing’s “Battle Saint Method,” conjuring countless secret techniques to clash endlessly against the current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He knows water combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruoshui watched a moment, realizing Sun Wukong’s skills were refined—he shouldn’t have a weakness in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing murmured beside her. “I’m not good at water combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruoshui glanced sideways, instantly dissolving into water, surging to engulf Gu Qing. All her pent-up emotion erupted into blazing fire. In the water, Gu Qing hadn’t even moved before Ruoshui clung to him, entwining him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along this journey, Gu Qing had encountered many women—some gentle as water. But now, he truly felt water’s tenderness, water’s heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong wove his techniques, transforming seals, clashing and dissolving the current—suddenly, the water grew scalding. He leapt clear of the Milky Way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turmoil on the Milky Way lasted for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Qing and Ruoshui reappeared, Sun Wukong saw the once-cold Ruoshui now utterly devoted to Gu Qing—and she’d even taught him a technique to manipulate water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing waved to Ruoshui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruoshui smiled warmly, bidding him farewell. As the embodiment of human emotion, she understood love and longing best. When with Gu Qing, her heart was filled with true feeling. Now she let him go—because his heart was bound elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She accepted this gladly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this was because of love. Ruoshui was already content. Now, she’d wait in the Milky Way for Gu Qing’s next visit—and they’d made a promise: it wouldn’t be long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing took Sun Wukong and leapt away, entering Heaven’s inner palaces until they reached a peach orchard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess, in a green robe, spotted Gu Qing, called out—then froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say hello!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing pushed Sun Wukong forward. “This is your Seventh Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little monkey wanted to ask: Dad, Dad, how many immortal girlfriends do you have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having gained benefits from Ruoshui, Sun Wukong now obeyed. He bowed respectfully to the Seventh Princess. “Seventh Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess studied the monkey, stroked his head, then fixed her gaze on Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go play.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing shoved Sun Wukong into the Peach Orchard, then met the Seventh Princess’s eyes. They stared at each other, heavy with sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, Gu Qing and the Seventh Princess had been close. But suddenly, Gu Qing stormed Heaven, absorbed the Nine Golden Crow Princes, slaughtered half the Heaven’s immortals, sealed the Jade Pool, and charged straight at the Jade Emperor and Wangmu—saving Yaoji, yet making himself Heaven’s mortal enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had blood-deep enmity with the Seventh Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You killed them for the sake of mortals—that I can accept. But why reduce their corpses to ash?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Qing had acted purely for the world’s sake, she might have forgiven him. But Heaven’s intelligence now revealed: he devoured the Golden Crows for himself, stormed Heaven for Yang Chan, and even kissed Chang’e in the Jade Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess had become a complete loser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve lost weight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing changed the subject, showing concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the Seventh Princess’s eyes reddened—then she exploded, thrusting her sword straight at his chest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade pierced his chest, blood spraying red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess stared at Gu Qing, then at her sword—her eyes filled with disbelief. She couldn’t believe Heaven’s greatest enemy had died so easily in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-you didn’t dodge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes brimmed with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing slowly gripped her hand, gazing at her jade fingers. “To die in such hands—I have no regrets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortals could die. Even Yang Jian had died once before the Baolian Lamp. The heart was still an immortal’s vital point. This blade was no lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t die…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess clutched Gu Qing’s chest, trying to heal him—but through her immortal senses, she felt his heart had been pierced clean through. Her healing energy flowed in, then scattered uselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t die… you can’t die…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Seventh Princess, tears streaming down her face, said: “Gu Qing, lie here—I’ll go to Laojun and beg him for an immortal pill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Elder was now refining pills on the thirty-third heaven; Gu Qing was the Heavenly Court’s top wanted criminal, so the Seventh Princess could not bring him up. She left Gu Qing hidden within the Peach Garden, then sped swiftly toward the thirty-third heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing pressed his hand to his heart. To others, this wound would be fatal—but for Gu Qing, who bore abundant merit, it was merely a speck of dirt on his sleeve. He lay aside, feigning near-death, waiting for the Seventh Princess to return from the thirty-third heaven. By the time she reached the Peach Garden, Gu Qing was already “on the brink of death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess embraced Gu Qing and tried to force the pill into his mouth, but no matter how she pushed, he refused to swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try giving him a sip of water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong, watching anxiously beside them, recognized this exact script—he’d seen it countless times beside Gu Qing in the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those tales of martial heroes unconcerned with propriety, of heroes saving beauties and offering themselves in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Gu Qing dying…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong found it impossible. Gu Qing hadn’t left a single last word—and outside, there were still other mothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seventh Princess truly took a mouthful of water, delivered it to him, and Gu Qing’s condition visibly improved. He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong took another bite of the peach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Peach Garden and heading toward the Moon Palace, Sun Wukong moved with practiced ease. When he met the Moon Immortal, he bowed naturally and called out: “Chang Mama.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon Immortal’s frostbitten, exquisite face flushed slightly as she rebuked Gu Qing sharply: “This is absurd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were destined from birth—no one can escape it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stepped before Chang’e, took her hand, and said: “They say there are four primordial monkeys in this world: the Stone-Ming Monkey masters transformation, understands celestial timing and earthly advantage, moves stars and shifts constellations; the Six-Eared Macaque hears all sounds, perceives truth, foresees past and future, understands all things; the Gibbon of the Back masters sun and moon, shrinks mountains, foresees fortune and misfortune, manipulates heaven and earth; the Red-Cheeked Horse Monkey comprehends yin and yang, understands human affairs, masters entry and exit, evades death and prolongs life. Look—we two, combining our power through the sun and moon’s essence—could we make one of these monkeys perceive the past and future, discern fortune and misfortune, and comprehend yin and yang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had come to Chang’e specifically to secure benefits for Sun Wukong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang’e studied Sun Wukong, then glanced at Gu Qing, and swept her hand over Sun Wukong’s palm—there appeared a faint lunar mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Refine this lunar mark, and you too can wield some lunar arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chang’e’s face flushed crimson, and she turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing set Sun Wukong aside for now, spread his arms, and blocked Chang’e’s path, smiling: “Are you leaving so soon? Not even a kiss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mount Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing led Sun Wukong on a winding path until they reached Mount Hua, where a temple stood, its incense smoke thick and abundant. Gu Qing brought Sun Wukong here and saw Yaoji presiding over the rites, while Yang Jiao stood to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong asked Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Yaoji—she’s your…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Qing could finish, Sun Wukong stepped forward with practiced ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yao Mama!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong bowed without hesitation—after all, these female immortals always gave gifts if you called them “Mama.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one isn’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing yanked Sun Wukong up and stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaoji’s gaze was cold and deathly, brimming with killing intent. She asked: “Then who is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard of Gu Qing’s affair with Yang Chan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2235,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eb25b78fb6188aaec4516aada8adbc87600b45d31f54e30b11cd7a94a930655b","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-396","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-394",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
