Chapter 398
Lihen Heaven, Tushita Palace.
This is the top layer of the Thirty-Three Heavens, with bright immortal light, not relying on the sun and moon, flowing light rotating, nine-colored light.
Yao Ji throws Gu Qing in front of the Eight-Trigrams Furnace with a back throw, saying, "This infatuated seed has taken the Soul-Breaking Pill, ask the Old Lord to save him."
Gu Qing lies on his back on the ground, still in a dying state, lifting his eyes slightly to see Taishang Laojun in a white-bearded Taoist robe, his appearance looking like Ji Gong, different from the Old Lord in the White Snake world. And now he is stroking his beard, full of smiles.
"Heavy is the root of light, stillness is the ruler of movement."
The Old Lord says with a bit of composure, "Yao Ji, don't be anxious."
Seeing the Old Lord so composed, Yao Ji's anxious heart calms down slightly. Looking at Gu Qing, after taking the Soul-Breaking Pill, Gu Qing's state has been deteriorating, and his life is in danger at any moment.
"The Master has a plan in mind, Yao Ji admires him very much."
Yao Ji bows and says.
Taishang Laojun is so steady, then there will be no problem.
"It's not really having a plan in mind."
Taishang Laojun observes Gu Qing's condition carefully and says, "This Soul-Breaking Pill is after all refined by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. They master the flat peaches, master the lifespan of all living beings—who lives and who dies, who goes up and who goes down, all are within their thoughts. Wanting to untie the poison of the Soul-Breaking Pill is not easy."
Hearing this, Yao Ji feels anxious again.
She has already carried Gu Qing to Lihen Heaven and really doesn't want to fall short of success.
"The old Taoist is so calm because it's not his own life that is dying."
Taishang Laojun says with a laugh.
Why are you laughing!
Gu Qing lies on the ground, cursing in his heart, opening his mouth to take a few deep breaths, tasting the smell of immortal pills in the Tushita Palace.
This can also be considered a kind of wool-gathering.
Taishang Laojun takes the banana fan and fans Gu Qing a few times to remove Gu Qing's dry heat, saying, "Actually, it would be better if you died. Throwing you into my Eight-Trigrams Furnace, I wouldn't need to add charcoal fire to refine pills in the future."
"If I must die, I want to die in Chan'er's arms..."
Gu Qing says weakly.
"Dream on!"
Yao Ji says hatefully. Yang Yang Tianyou died before Yang Chan, which has already brought shadows to Yang Chan. If Gu Qing dies in front of Yang Chan again, Yao Ji is afraid Yang Chan won't be able to walk out of it.
"Then die in..."
Gu Qing wants to say the Seventh Princess.
"Shut up!"
Yao Ji is afraid of getting herself involved and making big news in front of Taishang Laojun, interrupting him sternly.
Gu Qing closes his mouth honestly.
"Please, Old Lord, make a move and save his life."
Yao Ji requests Taishang Laojun again.
"Holding it and filling it is not as good as stopping it; sharpening it and making it sharp, it cannot be preserved for long."
The Old Lord fans with the banana fan, looking at Gu Qing, and says gently, "Your body contains nine suns, which can be called the essence of Li fire, the source of ten thousand fires. But you blindly seek its intensity. Although it is domineering and fierce, and unrivaled, if you use this fire to cook rice, the rice will become charcoal, and even the iron pot will turn into molten iron."
"The Old Taoist's pills are also made of plants and trees. Putting them into his body, it is generally the same."
Yao Ji frowns slightly and says, "The Queen Mother's Soul-Breaking Pill..."
"The Queen Mother is the Golden Mother; true gold is not afraid of fire."
Taishang Laojun says.
Listening to the Old Lord's words, Gu Qing has already tasted the meaning—that is, if he wants to take pills to save his life, he must give up the nine suns in his body, otherwise it is "gold and jade filling the hall, no one can guard it."
"Is there any other way?"
Gu Qing asks with a hoarse voice.
Merit can cure all diseases. Taking the Soul-Breaking Pill has no effect on Gu Qing. Being brought to the Tushita Palace by Yao Ji is also Gu Qing wanting to rub off some things.
Now he didn't get anything, and he has to give away nine suns. What is this?
Gu Qing, I congratulate you on getting rich?
"Yes, yes."
The Old Lord puts away the banana fan and says, "You are already the essence of ten thousand fires, which can be called the best pill furnace in the world. It's just that you blindly seek the heat of the fire and ignore the other wonderful uses of fire. Now you must calm your heart, perceive the flames in your body, use your soul to control them, and then refine all the scorching flames, so that your flames can be transformed into gentle fire. Then you can rely on your own strength to refine the Soul-Breaking Pill out of your body."
Listening to the Old Lord's points, Gu Qing thinks of the "Six-Ding Divine Fire" applied when the Old Lord refined Sun Sun Wukong.
The flames are circulating, and Gu Qing also closes his eyes quietly.
Seeing Gu Qing's situation gradually stabilize, Yao Ji thinks that Gu Qing can always not die, perhaps also because of the power of "Nine Yang," and her heart relaxes slightly.
Yang Jiao and Yang Jian finally fought their way to the Thirty-Three Heavens at this time. Seeing Yao Ji is safe, they call out "Mother."
"Yang Jiao, Yang Jian!"
Seeing the two, Taishang Laojun immediately instructs, saying, "In the current human world, the mandate of heaven is in Zhou. King Zhou is acting perversely, causing heaven's anger and people's resentment. You two quickly head to Xiqi to assist Ji Chang in prospering Zhou and destroying Shang."
Yang Jiao and Yang Jian are both disciples of the Chan Sect, under Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun. Taishang Laojun assigning them is a matter of course.
Yang Jian knows this is a big shot of the Dao Sect and obeys the order honestly.
"Yang Jian."
Taishang Laojun says again, "Before you go to punish Zhou, there is still a fate that has not been fulfilled."
Yang Jian is almost inspired, saying, "Three-Headed Dragon!"
Hearing the name of the Three-Headed Dragon, Yao Ji is shocked.
Weak Water is the embodiment of love in the Three Realms, and the Three-Headed Dragon is the embodiment of desire in the Three Realms. And everything in the Yang family started because the Three-Headed Dragon stole the Dragon Pearl from the Lingxiao Palace.
"Mother, don't worry."
Yang Jian comforts Yao Ji, saying, "The Three-Headed Dragon could hurt you back then because it swallowed the Dragon Pearl of the Lingxiao Palace. Now the Dragon Pearl is in the Howling Xiao Tianquan's body, and its strength is greatly reduced. As long as I am more careful, I will definitely be able to take it down!"
This Three-Headed Dragon is also Yang Jian's Three-Pointed Two-Edged Knife.
"The child must be more careful."
Yao Ji instructs carefully.
Yang Jian nods confidently, looking at Gu Qing who is sitting.
"Mother, you watch him here."
Yao Ji says, "If he has any mishaps, I'm afraid Chan'er will find it hard to be happy in this life." Speaking of this, Yao Ji's heart is gloomy. She and Yang Yang Tianyou shared a heart. After Yang Yang Tianyou passed away, Yao Ji often felt empty inside and couldn't get interested in many things.
Seeing this, Yang Jiao and Yang Jian both know that Yao Ji is thinking of herself, and hatred naturally surges in their hearts, wanting to find the Jade Emperor for revenge.
"This Gu Qing..."
Yang Jian feels that Gu Qing is not a good match, but Gu Qing is indeed willing to risk his life for Yang Chan. Looking at it this way, Yang Chan marrying Gu Qing is not bad, but in Yang Jian's view, this is almost like peeing on him directly.
It's very uncomfortable.
"Let him fend for himself."
Yang Jian looks at Gu Qing who is sitting, thinking of the passionate kiss when Gu Qing held Chang'e in the Yao Pool, and feels even more uncomfortable.
What kind of thing is this Gu Qing?
Carrying a belly full of sullen anger, Yang Jian takes the Howling Xiao Tianquan and, according to the guidance, heads toward the approximate location of the Three-Headed Dragon. When landing, he sees the Three-Headed Dragon transformed into human form, laughing and pulling a little girl, about to go to the bridal chamber with the little girl.
"Stop!" Yang Jian flies forward. He has followed Yao Ji and already figured out the love and hate circulation of his own magic power. At this time, with a few punches and kicks, he takes down the Three-Headed Dragon.
"Thank you, righteous hero, for saving me!"
The girl sees Yang Jian's face, her eyes shining, hurriedly asking for his name.
"Yang Jian!"
Yang Jian holds the Three-Headed Dragon and says calmly.
"My name is Ao Ao Cunxin!"
Ao Ao Cunxin waves to Yang Jian repeatedly. At this moment, Yang Jian feels the sun's light seems to dim a bit, and a dark cloud inexplicably covers his head.
In the Tushita Palace.
Yao Ji sends off Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, and when she turns back, she sees her good friend, Chang'e.
"You also..."
Yao Ji knows that Chang'e was once moved by Gu Qing, and also knows that Gu Qing swallowed nine suns, and even more so that Gu Qing possesses the Hou Yi archery skills and kissed Chang'e passionately. Now seeing her good friend come to Lihen Heaven, Yao Ji feels it is a matter of course, but also feels so absurd.
My good friend and my good niece and my daughter, they will be a family, and I will be an outsider...
Chang'e nods slightly, comes to Gu Qing's side, reaches out to gently stroke Gu Qing's cheek, and says, "I really didn't expect that he didn't even hesitate to take the Soul-Breaking Pill for Chan'er and Qi'er."
This is truly risking one's life for a woman.
On the condensed green bricks of the Tushita Palace, in the faint immortal clouds, this cold and dusty Chang'e Caiyun Xianzi, as pure as ice and snow, leans gently against Gu Qing's chest. This cold and ethereal female immortal has found reliance again after countless years.
"Chang'e..."
Yao Ji knows that she shouldn't point fingers at true love, but Gu Qing has too many true loves!
"Chang'e, I am someone who has been through it, life isn't like this."
Yao Ji thinks about it and still advises, saying, "After Gu Qing has Chan'er and Qi'er, adding more people to the family will seem crowded."
Chang'e's eyes flow like moonlight, and a shallow smile appears on her pure and flawless face, saying, "I am the one who has been through it."
Hearing this, Yao Ji opens her mouth and finally closes it... Indeed, Chang'e Caiyun Xianzi is also someone who has been through it. She has long known what a couple should be like.
Or perhaps she should ask Chang'e how to be a widow; after all, Chang'e is ahead of her in all aspects.
"He and I seem to have been entangled for a long time."
Chang'e leans on Gu Qing, inhaling lightly, saying, "I can feel it..."
Yao Ji has no more words.
Gu Qing cultivated in the Tushita Palace for seven days. During these seven days, according to the "gentle fire" method mentioned by the Old Lord, and echoing with his own Nine Yang power, the fire in his body converges, and some golden substances flow out from Gu Qing's pores.
"Golden Immortal Law?"
Gu Qing opens his eyes, full of strangeness.
Yao Pool.
Queen Mother Wang Mu flips the plate in front of her. Feeding Gu Qing the Soul-Breaking Pill is simply the worst move for the Queen Mother. Gu Qing took the pill and didn't die, and even set a fire for the immortals of the Three Realms, letting these immortals see the power of love.
It even inspired Gu Qing's Golden Immortal Law.
This kind of creation is something Gu Qing couldn't ask for even after thousands of years of cultivation.
"You are angry with Seventh Sister again."
The Eighth Princess cleans up the plate, leans to the Queen Mother's side, and says, "Even if Seventh Sister is married, isn't there still me?"
In the prequel to the Lotus Lamp, besides the Seventh Princess, there is also an Eighth Princess, who will marry into the grasslands in the future.
"Good daughter."
The Queen Mother holds the Eighth Princess in her arms and says, "Love and desire, you must not get involved. Your sisters were all deceived by people."
The Eighth Princess nods repeatedly, coaxing the Queen Mother to be happy, but in her heart, she thinks about tasting the taste of love.
Tushita Palace.
"You swallowed nine suns, and your own accumulation was already at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Yao Ji explains the realm for Gu Qing, saying, "It's just that your previous Golden Crow Array construction cycle was relatively rough, and the power exerted was not complete. Now, listening to the Old Lord's dharma formula, you can master your own power in detail, which can be considered as initially stepping into the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm."
In the Heavenly Immortal Realm, there are also differences between first and last, and differences in peak.
In the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Gu Qing has the most accumulation, but his perception of the realm is a bit behind. Now that he has rounded out his power, in terms of realm, he has vaguely reached the peak period.
Yao Ji touches the golden substance discharged from Gu Qing's body and says, "I am now convinced that you and Chang'e do have a fate."
Gu Qing glances sideways, looking at Chang'e beside him, this cold Moon Palace fairy, now full of him in her heart and eyes.
This "Soul-Breaking Pill" was worth eating!
Gu Qing wishes the Queen Mother would come to feed two more.
"You forgot, Chang'e also took the Queen Mother's pill."
Yao Ji says lightly.
Back then, Hou Yi shot the sun, and the Queen Mother bestowed the immortality medicine. After Chang'e took it, she ran to the Moon Palace.
Gu Qing reaches out to grab Chang'e's hand and says, "That pill..."
Chang'e nods and says, "It has always been in my body."
And such golden substances can only be calcined out through Gu Qing's gentle fire, leaving this pill, and Chang'e can also escape the Queen Mother's control.
Gu Qing reaches out, wanting to help Chang'e refine the pill, but Chang'e sees this and shakes her head gently. This pill cannot be taken out immediately; it is bound to alarm the Queen Mother, and everything about Chang'e can be considered created by the Queen Mother, with life and death all in her hands.
"It seems that you cannot break the Heavenly Rules."
Gu Qing pulls Chang'e and whispers. This touch gives the Queen Mother a legitimate reason to deal with Chang'e.
"When we change the Heavenly Rules, we can be together openly."
Gu Qing says solemnly. Before that, Gu Qing must become strong, preferably mastering the firepower that can refine the Golden Immortal Law in an instant. On the other hand, Yang Jian must be powerful; after all, Yang Jian is the main force in modifying the Heavenly Rules.
Parting with Chang'e, Gu Qing and Yao Ji arrive in the Tushita Palace, before the Old Lord, and thank the Old Lord.
"I didn't do anything; you realized it yourself."
The Old Lord decisively shirks responsibility, saying, "You quickly go to the mortal world. If the Jade Emperor asks, I can't afford to take the blame."
In the Golden Immortal Realm, the Jade Emperor is the boss.
Gu Qing bows to the Old Lord again, picks up a bit of the Queen Mother's Golden Immortal Law. This trip to the Heavenly Court not only made the sisters return to his heart but also made his cultivation advance greatly, mastering some changes in the Golden Immortal Law. For Gu Qing, it can be said that he gained a lot.
"Let's go back quickly."
Yao Ji thinks of Yang Chan, frowns, and says, "Chan'er has been waiting anxiously."
"Of course."
Gu Qing nods and says, "But we have to go to the Heavenly River first."
He still has to go to Weak Water's place; after all, Gu Qing has to balance the water.
Yao Ji takes a deep breath, her gaze fixed... Taking your mother-in-law to meet a lover, is it a bit less respectful to the mother-in-law?
