Chapter 1526

Beautiful! Too beautiful! I heard she's still a maiden; I'll come take her first time!

Bai Li Batian's voice trembled with excitement.

Recalling the beautiful women he had experienced before, this woman named Ji Yue was utterly incomparable.

What Liu Ying? They cannot even be compared!

Even just a painted illusion made his heart race.

"We toil day and night for the Changsheng Sect, refining Gu objects, repairing spirit patterns, already laboring for nearly three months; this Ji Yue is heaven's reward for us." Bai Li Batian said, his eyes blazing with fire.

"Not bad. We've suffered so long; can't we enjoy ourselves a bit?" his son chuckled, "Father, let's do it together then?"

He licked his lips.

This was a little-known habit of his and his father's.

It was bizarre, yet thrilling.

Bai Li Batian said, "Of course it's possible. But Ji Yue's first time is mine."

"That's natural, Father." his son Bai Li Lianzhan said.

Just then, several young men appeared.

Bai Li Batian hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Wang Cang, Lord Luo Lin, we have inscribed numerous spirit patterns on the Gu-refining seats you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, the two leading young man and woman nodded.

The woman was Luo Lin; her chest was prominent, her buttocks full, though her face was ordinary, yet she bore an aloof expression, walking with head high and chest out, as if two mountain ranges were moving, even more upright.

The man was Wang Cang; his gaze swept over the father and son of Huoyun Valley, a confirming nod, but his eyes held more of a commanding air, an attitude of looking down from above.

However, when Luo Lin's gaze swept over, Wang Cang lowered his head.

Clearly, the group took Luo Lin as leader, followed by Wang Cang.

These people were all genius Gu masters of the Changsheng Sect.

Soon, Luo Lin stepped into the seats, inspected them, and said, "Not bad. After the Gu-refining conclave ends, you may return to Huoyun Valley; when I win first place, I will naturally reward you."

Wang Cang said, "I will take second place and will also reward you."

Bai Li Batian and his son hurriedly went "plop, plop" and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, my lords!"

Soon, Luo Lin, Wang Cang, and the others left.

After a long while, Bai Li Batian and his son finally climbed up from the ground.

Their faces once again showed an arrogant expression.

They were responsible for laying out the spirit patterns, so they naturally knew the inside story of this Gu-refining conclave.

Eight of the top ten seats have already been decided!

Only the remaining spots are what the wandering cultivators chase after.

Besides Wang Cang and other Changsheng Sect Gu masters, the major powers under the Changsheng Sect—Lingxiao Sword Sect, Zheng family, Xu family—are merely a few of the pre-decided seats.

Those wandering cultivators who want to defy fate have only a slim chance.

The rewards for the top ten are extremely generous: one can obtain an eleven-revolution defying-heaven Gu object, also a twelve-revolution Gu master inheritance, plus a large amount of Gu-refining resources specially supported by Empress Chi Yao.

When the time comes, at the Gu-refining, although the seats appear random, in fact those of Luo Lin, Wang Cang, and the like were arranged in advance.

During Gu-refining, many Gu object Dao Resonances are needed, and the great forces of heaven and earth are also not lacking.

Moreover, this Gu-refining takes place in the small world of the Burial Sword Abyss, with the sword qi of the Burial Sword Abyss clashing, increasing the difficulty of Gu-refining.

This news is no longer a secret within the Changsheng Sect and its subordinate major powers such as the Lingxiao Sword Sect and Zheng family.

Other powers, and the human wandering cultivators, however, remain completely unaware, believing this Gu-refining conclave to be fair.

When the moment arrives, the sword qi of the Burial Sword Abyss will clash abruptly, likely causing disorder in the Gu object Dao Resonance; if one is careless, they could suffer severe injury, even sudden death.

The Gu-refining process is extremely dangerous, even more terrifying than an exploding alchemy furnace.

Bai Li Batian gave a dark chuckle, "What fairness is there in this age? After the Gu Clan seized control of the Chaotic Star Sea, what chance do humans have to rise? We too are considered superior to others, or else we submit to the Changsheng Sect; that is, the humans of the Reincarnation Ancient Court have no way out, living in peril day by day, ultimately destined to perish."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Lianzhan said, "Father, I've heard that recently the Holy Maiden Yun Zheng of the Reincarnation Ancient Court, together with Xiahou Batian and others, have taken action, wiping out many branch sects; our Cangyun Star Sea has narrowly escaped disaster. If Yun Zheng descends upon Cangyun Star Sea, we would likely not escape either."

Bai Li Batian gave a cold snort, "Later, wasn't it said that Yun Zheng was being hunted down, even Empress Chi Yao took action, yet in the end she still fled in disgrace, and I heard Yun Zheng suffered a backlash."

Bai Li Lianzhan's eyes burned with fire as he fantasized, "If it so happens that the Holy Maiden Yun Zheng is seriously injured, her cultivation plummets, and she falls into our Huoyun Valley, then we… hehehe."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Batian licked his lips, "If that were the case, it would be truly wonderful. Holy Maiden Yun Zheng, peerless in beauty, even if her beautiful eyes are veiled by silk, her visage remains absolutely peerless; to be able to enjoy her once would make this life not wasted as a human."

"What about the Ruthless Empress?" Bai Li Lianzhan rubbed his hands and asked, "She often acts, but her body is always shrouded in a mist of Dao Resonance, making her appearance impossible to discern; only a vague silhouette can be seen."

"Such a bearing—just one look tells she's an unparalleled beauty; why think more?" Bai Li Batian chuckled darkly, "In my lifetime I have seen too many women; a single distant glance is enough to know the splendor beneath her garments."

"First, not mentioning Yun Zheng and the Ruthless Empress, this Ji Yue, I think she can rival Yun Zheng." Bai Li Lianzhan said excitedly, "I now can't help but want to return to Huoyun Valley, but unfortunately I cannot go back yet."

"Indeed. I never expected the ancient Dao lineage to have such a heaven-defying beauty. Moreover, I heard from the Grand Elder that Ji Yue has a fierce temperament; I, old sir, most love beauties who like to resist—the more they struggle, the more excited I become." Bai Li Batian said.

At that moment, not far away, several people approached, their bodies flowing with sword intent.

Yet the two continued their discussion without stopping.

"Lv Yang, long time no see." Bai Li Lianzhan smiled, his face bearing a smile of arrogance.

The comer was the monstrous Gu master Lü Yang of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

As for them, we are all humans, and Lü Yang and the others also have requests of us, so we naturally would not speak humbly as we did before when facing the Gu Clan.

Lü Yang wore a plain gray robe, his face unremarkable, and produced several spatial rings, saying, "Greetings, Valley Master, greetings, Young Master; our seat spirit patterns…"

Bai Li Lianzhan directly took the spatial rings, smiled, and said, "Naturally arranged. However, compared to these cultivation resources, we prefer beautiful women."

Lü Yang gave a mysterious smile, "It has long been arranged. When you two leave the Burial Sword Abyss, you can simply take them."

"Good, good, good."

The valley master and his son were overjoyed.

Next, the Gu clan genius Zheng Ye of the Zheng family, the Gu clan genius Xu Chan of the Xu family, and others came personally to pay their respects, along with some promising wandering cultivators such as Zhou Teng and the like.

After this trip, the valley master and his son can be said to have profited abundantly.

Two and a half days later.

The Gu Refining Grand Assembly opens!

Fang Yuan stepped directly out of the pavilion, and shot up into the void.
