On his wedding night, he electrocuted his own wife to death, and ever since, he’s avoided all human contact.” As he spoke, Gu Qing glanced at Xuejian—only because Xuejian was immune to lightning had Yun Ting ever felt drawn to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing checked his system; Yun Ting’s good deeds were still listed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s really too tragic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Lei Lingzhu was passed to Jing Tian, he felt its current and felt a pang of pity for Yun Ting’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just that Yun Ting doesn’t know how to use this lightning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny arc flickered at Gu Qing’s fingertip; he said: “If I were to use this current… hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s lightning enhanced the Mist Soul Hand and all manner of dual-cultivation techniques; after the refinement from the Baolian Deng world and his sparring with the immortal maidens, he had advanced them further still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Xuan sensed his ill intent and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian was also curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian, however, was thinking of the “Divine Sword Thunder Technique” he had just witnessed and said: “Can you teach it to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not really.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at Jing Tian and said regretfully: “Xuejian isn’t afraid of lightning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that have to do with Xuejian?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian didn’t understand, but Zi Xuan caught the implication; she kicked Gu Qing’s foot, signaling him to drop the subject—don’t corrupt the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing glanced at Zi Xuan beside him, at her delicate face, the faint blush on her cheeks, and smiled; lately, their relationship had drawn rapidly closer—perhaps Zi Xuan herself hadn’t noticed that when Xu Changqing was severely injured, her concern for him was no greater than her concern for any other mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few specks of immortal light flowed from Zi Xuan into Qingwei Zhenren’s body. The man who, according to the Puppet Granny, could threaten “Alchemy Zi Xuan,” slowly opened his eyes, saw the Lei Lingzhu in Gu Qing’s hand, and wore a bitter expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you take it from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingwei Zhenren’s words carried ambiguous meaning—was he speaking of Shushan, or the Lei Lingzhu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I simply wanted to make Xu Changqing suffer…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held the Lei Lingzhu and spoke calmly: “Each relies on his own ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingwei Zhenren sighed silently, summoned his sword, and departed; beneath the blue sky and white clouds, he left behind a charred sword trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Xuan asked Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the Underworld! We’re bringing Xuan Xiao along!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stated their next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiutian Xuannü…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Xuan thought of Jiutian Xuannü—this elder of the Divine Realm was still in the mortal world; if Gu Qing and Xuan Xiao grew close, Jiutian Xuannü would strike immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s not a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stated firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lands of the Eastern Sea, the fire vein region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Xuannü descended gracefully, extended her hand, lightly touched the ground, and was startled to discover a fire vein on the verge of eruption—yet the earth’s veins had shifted, and the impending disaster vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutian Xuannü nodded; had this fire vein erupted while Qionghua was still trapped here, escape would have been impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this change in the earth’s veins…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an elder of the Divine Realm, Jiutian Xuannü was skilled in the mortal arts of Qimen Dunjia; observing the array from afar, she studied it long, then stepped inside—suddenly, the Earth Fire Array activated; she saw Su Yao, once kneeling before her, now wielding the array flag with authority; fire barriers erupted around her, dark clouds swirled, thunder and flame converged and rushed toward her as one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elder of the Divine Realm, facing this unknown array, the erupting flames, and the need to protect the array and the earth vein, was trapped within the Earth Fire Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengdu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing, Zi Xuan, Jing Tian, Long Kui, and Xuejian arrived here; Xuan Xiao was here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond this place lay the Underworld; Jing Tian’s thoughts churned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuan Xiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at him and asked with a smile: “After centuries, meeting your old rival again—Qionghua has become dust. You and Yun Tianqing are no longer enemies, but old acquaintances. When you meet, what will you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing was genuinely curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cuss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xiao replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Yun Tianhe, Xuan Xiao treated him as a friend—even when their swords clashed, he held back; but to Yun Tianqing, Xuan Xiao had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing else you want to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xiao spoke briefly—in his mind, he bore Yun Tianqing at least eighty percent of the blame for his current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1213,"2026-06-20T17:04:28.193Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","478cc3976f83eaaef98ddb2c79ed39aa2877b4507e7704683cf7458f71fa1fac","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-419","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-417",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
