Gu Qing remained calm; the Nine Profundities Chilled Ice Sword activated naturally, clashing with the Thousand Methods Residual Light Sword qi, a thousand sword blossoms blazing around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xiao advanced toward Gu Qing, fingers forming sword points, ice and fire intertwined, unleashing a supreme sword qi straight at Gu Qing’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final boss of Sword and Sorcery IV, Xuan Xiao naturally possessed immense combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he faced Gu Qing—who, having mastered Qionghua’s sword arts and claimed the Xihe Sword, had seen through every one of Xuan Xiao’s techniques; now, as Xuan Xiao struck with lethal force, Gu Qing’s body naturally revealed a Taiji pattern, forming a swirling sphere that blocked the attack, then reversed the force, hurling it all back at Xuan Xiao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seabed trembled; Xuan Xiao was flung backward into the deep darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-raving Qionghua disciples, including the erratic Su Yao, grew unusually calm upon seeing Xuan Xiao fly away, their gazes filled with confusion. “Did he… just win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Kui’s voice came from the Demon Sword; she knew well how hard and precarious that battle had been centuries ago—but now, with Gu Qing, defeating Xuan Xiao had been so effortless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Burn Ice, Scorch Flame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the depths of darkness came Xuan Xiao’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Centuries of solitude had taught Xuan Xiao to endure loneliness; his cultivation had long since reached the threshold of immortality—but the Nine Heavens Goddess had cast him into the East Sea, severing his path to transcendence. Now, with this strike, ice and flame erupted, engulfing everything within the sealed realm, friend or foe alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven Stars Sword Form!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zhuxian world’s Qingyun Sect, Gu Qing had learned Qingyun’s Four Great Sword Forms; after his journeys through the White Snake world and the Lotus Lantern world, these forms had evolved—especially the Seven Stars Sword Form. When activated, the Big Dipper instantly appeared in the starry sky, its layered power flowing into the sea, sealing and restricting with endless variation; the surrounding water turned crystalline. In Jing Tian’s eyes, the blazing flames vanished into nothingness; Gu Qing reached forward and swept his hand—suddenly, Xuan Xiao in the darkness flipped helplessly through several somersaults and crashed at Gu Qing’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Becoming immortal is merely the threshold to meet me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing reached out and helped Xuan Xiao to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xiao’s gaze burned with faint fire as he stared at Gu Qing; just now, Gu Qing’s sword form had stirred in him the same helplessness he once felt facing the Nine Heavens Goddess—everything around him was controlled by a higher power, and no matter how strong he was, he could not wield his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xiao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Xuan Xiao had suspected Gu Qing had ulterior motives—but after witnessing Gu Qing’s raw power, he no longer believed he had anything worth scheming for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gu Qing were to fight the Divine Realm, that would be gods clashing—Xuan Xiao had no place to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power hierarchy of the Six Realms could sometimes be this despairing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo Zong, how much longer are you going to watch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing turned and called out into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sealed place lay beneath the map of the Undersea City from Sword and Sorcery III; now, Chong Lou was nearby, constantly observing the changes there. Hearing Gu Qing’s call, Chong Lou stepped forward and appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chong Lou had nothing to say to Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven has betrayed me—I’d rather become a demon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing patted Xuan Xiao’s shoulder and said: “Here is Mo Zong. Follow him—he can help you resolve your demonic transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xuan Xiao and Chong Lou stared at Gu Qing, unable to fathom his intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a kind person—I like helping others fulfill their wishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing casually patted Xuan Xiao’s shoulder, leaving a trace of spiritual essence within him, and said: “One day, I will take you to the Underworld to meet Yun Tianqing—and perhaps even reverse time, return to the past, and correct your regrets together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing painted a picture for Xuan Xiao: “But this requires sufficient strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Sword and Sorcery world, many methods exist to reverse time—past events can still be changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-20T17:04:28.193Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cbaddc98c41c83a950a787868c467fa5339ebe9793c6858026be1d9a9f3a5bda","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-414","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-412",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
