Chapter 408 Xi Ling Wants to Turn the Tables and Take Control
"Brother Yan is absolutely right!"
"Brother Guo wants to gain the appreciation of the elders through the Star Academy and thus join the Boundless Divine Sect, which is perfectly understandable."
"But isn't that too simplistic?"
One of them interjected.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Guo, don't forget that You Kui is the only remaining successor of the Starry Sky lineage of the Boundless Divine Sect."
"However, it is impossible for You Kui to personally teach the students. We can't even meet him, so how can we expect to gain his appreciation?"
"As for Zuo Yunxing, he has his own personal disciples and has stated that he will not accept any apprentices to learn from in his lifetime."
"The remaining elders of the Taiyin lineage..."
At this point, he shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Everyone understood what he meant.
The female cultivators of the Taiyin lineage do not accept men.
In short, while there may seem to be a sliver of a chance to become a student at the Starry Sky Academy, the actual odds are practically nonexistent.
Rather than wasting countless hours fighting for that slim chance, it would be better to wait here and hope that Gu Qing would suddenly soften his heart and take them in as disciples.
After all, they are exceptionally talented, one in a billion geniuses.
……
Purple Bamboo Grove!
Xi Ling stopped cultivating, her eyes filled with joy.
At the peak of the sixth level of the Profound God realm, her breakthrough speed was hundreds or thousands of times faster than she had anticipated.
Besides the assistance of Purple Bamboo and Yuanling Pearl, the Divine King's Origin also played a crucial role.
The greatness of the God-King needs no further explanation!
Even a mortal with no cultivation can gain the cultivation level of an Immortal King through dual cultivation with Gu Qing.
It's just a matter of time.
If Gu Qing breaks through to the God Emperor level, or even the Sovereign God level...
Then... she can win without lifting a finger.
Upon realizing this, Xi Ling's emotions were complicated.
She tried for nine lifetimes but could not see any hope of becoming an Immortal Emperor, so she had no choice but to take extreme measures and use the Heaven Refining Array to break through.
But if you follow Gu Qing, you can win without even lifting a finger.
So, is she still going to risk refining the eternal universe?
No, I can't let myself fall into depravity!
"call!"
Xi Ling breathed a sigh of relief, shaking the thought of lying down out of her mind.
It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.
If you entrust your fate to others, you will eventually be abandoned by fate.
She absolutely cannot become a parasitic plant that depends on a man for survival.
She wants to take control of her own destiny.
but……
Xi Ling's eyes flickered.
When faced with unforeseen circumstances, compromise is the best option.
Being a decorative vase for the time being, or a parasitic plant that depends on a man for survival, might not be such a bad choice.
"I must empty this bastard's pockets, steal all his treasures, and make him protect me."
"I want to be the first to attain Immortal Emperor status, refine the Eternal Universe, take this bastard as my male concubine, and rise to power," Xi Ling thought to herself.
A look of smugness appeared in her beautiful, glassy eyes.
It was as if she could already see Gu Qing calling her "sister" with a resentful yet restrained expression, looking ingratiating.
Just like her now.
No, she wants to get it back a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
With this thought in mind, Xi Ling's eyes gradually hardened, and she got up and left the Purple Bamboo Forest.
To catch up with Gu Qing, one has no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures.
Although green tea is despised by many, those who have used it know its value.
After searching around without finding anyone, Xi Ling sent a message to inquire, and then went to Wuliang Palace.
When Xi Ling saw that the main hall was full of familiar faces, she was stunned.
Why are all the elders of the Taiyin Sect here?
Congratulations, Goddess, on your wonderful marriage!
When everyone saw Xi Ling sit directly on the throne of the sect leader, they couldn't help but show their joy and offered their congratulations.
Xi Ling is a goddess of the Taiyin Sect and has a very close relationship with the sect's patriarch.
It's one of our own.
Xi Ling became Gu Qing's Daoist partner, and from then on, they were Gu Qing's direct descendants.
Don't worry, after Gu Qing takes in male disciples, he will exploit them in order to improve their cultivation.
Alternatively, male disciples could use them to cultivate the Taiyin Taiyang Chaos Record.
"Ok!"
Xi Ling hummed in agreement and asked, "What brings you to the Boundless Divine Sect?"
"Goddess, we have merged with the Boundless Divine Cult, and we are currently discussing the merger..."
Miao Yue briefly recounted the events.
They've been having meetings here for months.
There has been ongoing discussion about merging the chambers of commerce, taking back the Sun Chamber of Commerce, the Purple Star Chamber of Commerce, as well as mineral veins, secret realms, cultivation caves, teleportation arrays, immortal herb gardens, and so on.
And what about those affiliated forces? How should we deal with and appease them?
Over the course of several months, they discussed and communicated, sending powerful figures to various regions to suppress rebellions.
They were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.
"Damn Mo Wantang." Xi Ling gritted her teeth inwardly after hearing this.
She never expected that Mo Wantang would be so decisive and directly choose to merge the two cases.
Saying he wants to sleep with Gu Qing is probably just a pretext.
No, perhaps Mo Wantang originally intended to gain both wealth and power, coveting the position of the cult leader's wife.
The so-called cooperation was just a ploy to mislead her and prevent her from interfering.
Xi Ling grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Anyone who dares to compete with her for the sect leader's wife is simply courting death.
She had schemed against Mo Wantang so many times, but this was the first time she had been schemed against by Mo Wantang.
She simply couldn't swallow this insult.
I need to find a chance to get revenge.
Thinking it over, Xi Ling looked at Hong Lan with a cold expression and asked, "Aunt Hong, where is Gu Qing?"
She needed to find Gu Qing first and find out exactly how far things had progressed between the two of them before she could come up with a plan to deal with Mo Wantang.
"The son-in-law has gone into seclusion!"
When will we be able to leave the country?
"I don't know!" Honglan shook her head, her heart filled with bitterness.
When a Celestial King goes into seclusion, it's unknown how many years it will take before he emerges.
Her desire to hold the young master and young lady seems to be going to be postponed indefinitely once again.
"Don't worry, Miss, the young master will probably be out of seclusion soon," Wanhe interjected.
"Oh?" Xi Ling responded with an "oh," and waited quietly for what was to come.
“If the young master entrusts Miss Xian’er and Miss Yan’er to Shuying, he certainly won’t abandon them.”
"The young master's seclusion this time is probably due to some enlightenment, and I believe he will emerge from seclusion in a few years."
Wanhe said.
Upon hearing the names Xian'er and Yan'er, everyone in the hall twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Upon arriving at the Boundless Divine Sect, all the elixirs were taken away by Shuying.
Out of curiosity, they asked a question and learned of Xian'er and Yan'er's existence.
The women were extremely curious about Gu Qing's bloodline, so they all went to see the two little babies.
They are undeniably cute, but they eat way too much.
They've almost bankrupted the Boundless Divine Cult.
They had cultivated countless years' worth of celestial medicines and celestial beasts, yet it was only enough for the two little girls to eat a few meals.
Even the mythical beast Taotie doesn't have such a large appetite.
The two little girls' backgrounds were far beyond their imagination.
Xi Ling's eyes lit up: "Where are those two?"
She had always been curious about what the baby deity looked like and what wonders it possessed, but she had never had the chance to see it.
She asked to meet the two little ones several times, but Gu Qing treated her like a thief.
Jiang Yu wouldn't let her see him either.
Both of them are now in seclusion.
She insisted on taking the opportunity to meet him and examine the origin of the young god.
Perhaps it will inspire her on the path to enlightenment.
“In the Shuying Cave,” Wanhe said.
Her eyes were full of envy.
Shuying and Yitang don't have to do anything and they can still raise a child. This is so unfair.
After discussing the important matters, they'll switch roles; it'll be her and Honglan's turn to take care of the baby.
"You guys continue, I'll go check on the two of them."
Upon hearing this, Xi Ling could no longer sit still and immediately got up and left.
Everyone looked at each other, and Miao Yue hesitated before saying, "Honglan, we've been working non-stop for months. Why don't we take a break and relieve some stress?"
The two babies are so cute and amazing.
She was itching to go and see it.
Moreover, feeding her two little milk dumplings made her incredibly happy.
"That's right. As the saying goes, a balance between work and rest is essential for handling important sect affairs more efficiently and rationally."
The women immediately lost their focus on their work.
Feeding the cubs is the most important thing.
"..."
Honglan's lips twitched, utterly speechless.
Although she really wanted to go and nurse the baby.
But... they were discussing important matters concerning the sect.
Why do these women have no ambition at all?
Seeing the expectant looks from the women, Honglan nodded helplessly.
