Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 428 Zi Xuan
The bottom of the East China Sea.

Gu Qing refined this place into the Earthly Fiery Array. Su Yao and others who were in charge of the array were punished by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and are now sealed off. Gu Qing brought Liu Mengli here so that she could see her old friends from the Qionghua Sect.

“Su Yao…”

When Liu Mengli saw Su Yao, she was reminded of the time she spent at the Qionghua Sect.

"Mengli".

Having been punished twice by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Su Yao has deeply realized her mistakes. Upon seeing Gu Qing bring Liu Mengli here, she first admits her errors, saying that she deeply hurt Mengli's clan in order to become an immortal.

“Over the years, you have been atoning for your sins.”

After looking at this group of Qionghua disciples, Liu Mengli felt that she had long since let go of what happened back then. She circulated her demonic energy and headed towards the sea.

A bright moon hung in the night sky, but the sea was far from calm. Liu Mengli floated in mid-air, turned her head to look at Gu Qing, and her peerless face was radiant under the bright moon, making her look as beautiful as a fairy.

"I brought you here to tell you that after the Qionghua Sect is rebuilt, its rules of conduct will be completely different from before."

Gu Qing, dressed in Confucian robes, looked refined and elegant, and spoke to Liu Mengli.

"Uncle Qing, I believe you."

Liu Mengli's voice was clear and melodious, but her demeanor showed a certain distance from Gu Qing. She added, "Besides, the Qionghua Sect has Ziying, so they will never repeat the same mistakes."

"Next, I'm going to take you to the Demon Realm."

Gu Qing then indicated the next area.

"Demon Realm?"

Upon hearing about this area, Liu Mengli hesitated.

In the Six Realms, the gods and demons are above all living beings. The demon race is a disorganized bunch. When encountering these two races, one must rely on them. Taking the initiative to go to the Demon Realm is a bit of a thrill for Liu Mengli. However, when she went on adventures with Yun Tianhe, they also faced the Candle Dragon and ventured into the Ghost Realm. Moreover, Murong Ziying had also revealed Gu Qing's combat power.

On her way to the Demon Realm, Gu Qing took the route through the Immaculate Spring.

After passing through the Immaculate Spring, Gu Qing arrived at the location of the Flaming Wave Spring. Having just emerged from the Demon Realm with Liu Mengli, he immediately attracted the attention of Demon Lord Chonglou, who looked away upon seeing Gu Qing.

"Gu Qing, if I hadn't come looking for you, how dare you come to the Demon Realm?"

Xuanxiao had already transformed into a demon, and his strength had greatly increased. Compared to when he was defeated by Gu Qing at the bottom of the East Sea, his strength had undergone earth-shattering improvement. Therefore, upon seeing Gu Qing, he was filled with confidence, and his demonic energy condensed into sword energy, enveloping Gu Qing and Liu Mengli!

Normally, Gu Qing would exchange a few blows with Xuan Xiao, but right now, Gu Qing is taking care of a girl!
"Snapped!"

Soon enough, Xuanxiao was pinned to the ground by Gu Qing.

Liu Mengli: "..."

During the timeline of Legend of Sword and Fairy 4, Liu Mengli did not participate in the final battle, but she had truly felt the oppressive aura of Xuanxiao. Now, seeing her former nemesis being directly pinned to the ground, Liu Mengli also felt this strange disparity.

"You still have to practice!"

Gu Qing fulfilled Xuan Xiao's expectations for a sparring match, gained merit, and also showed himself in front of Liu Mengli.

"Chonglou".

Gu Qing gazed into the distance, looking towards the Demon Realm. Since this place became a realm, the demons within it had been divided into different categories. However, Gu Qing wasn't looking at the demons now, but rather examining the water veins, and asked, "Do you want a water demon beast?"

The Water Demon Beast is the kind of monster that will bring trouble to Lin Qing'er and Zhao Ling'er in the future.

The Moon Worship Cult Leader wasn't that strong personally, nor did he like to delve into philosophy like in the TV series. What made Lin Qing'er and Zhao Ling'er risk everything to seal it was the Water Demon Beast.

There is another interpretation of the ending of Chinese Paladin 1, which also comes from the creator of Chinese Paladin 1, but is expressed more subtly. That is, in the ending of Chinese Paladin 1, Lin Yueru died, but her body was preserved. Zhao Ling'er sealed the Water Demon Beast, but her physical body died. Therefore, the Lin Yueru holding an umbrella in the snow at the end of Chinese Paladin 1 is Zhao Ling'er's soul plus Lin Yueru's physical body.

This interpretation only applies to the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game; it disappeared after the release of Legend of Sword and Fairy 2.

What would I need that for?

Paris polyphylla did not pay attention.

"The water veins of the demon realm."

Gu Qing said simply.

Chonglou shook his head upon hearing this. He was not the nanny of the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm should be left to its own devices. He was used to being alone anyway.

"alright."

Gu Qing wasn't in a hurry to deal with the Water Demon Beast. After bidding farewell to Chonglou, Gu Qing took Liu Mengli to find the Heavenly Demon Clan.

Since betraying the gods, the goddess Kuiyu has taken refuge among the demons, and her followers are all deserters from the gods.

"goddess."

Gu Qing looked at the goddess Kuiyu, greeted her, and said, "Ao Xu has been severely punished by the Heavenly Court. I know you are kind-hearted and that you had no choice but to bring the gods to the Demon Realm. So I want to take you to live in the human world."

This large group of demons could only hide in the demon realm, but once they arrived in the human world, they were able to unleash their full power.

The goddess Kuiyu sat cross-legged on her throne, her eyes filled with a hint of aggression and domineering, and calmly asked, "What makes you make such a guarantee?"

"I defeated Chonglou and Jiutian Xuannv."

Gu Qing calmly said, "They both came at me together."

The goddess Kuiyu, who was arranging her display case, was taken aback. She hadn't even known about this information.

"besides……"

Gu Qing looked at Kui Yu and said, "I can solve the problem of the divine race's inheritance."

At this moment, Goddess Kuiyu stood up from her seat, and with a flash, the Divine Cloud Spear appeared in her hand. She wanted to see for herself and have a match with Gu Qing. As for the result, it was obvious. This famous warrior in the God Realm, even with all his strength, was no match for Gu Qing after a few rounds.

Standing in the Demon Realm, Gu Qing and Liu Mengli stood side by side. Looking at the face so close to his, Gu Qing asked with a smile, "You're curious about why I brought you to the Demon Realm."

Liu Mengli nodded slightly, but also spoke up, saying, "Actually, I have a guess."

Back on Qingluan Peak, when Gu Qing took her hand, Liu Mengli sensed that this "uncle" wasn't entirely innocent.

"Perhaps you think your uncle has ill intentions."

Gu Qing said calmly, "But your uncle brought you here because he wants to make a pact with you. Under the witness of the gods and demons, I, representing the human race, and you, representing the demon race, will make a pact to live in peace from now on. In the future, if there are any cases of humans and demons killing each other in these six realms, we will arrest them and put them to trial together..."

Gu Qing described the future to Liu Mengli.

"really?"

Liu Mengli was deeply moved, but she felt that she was not quite qualified to represent the demon race. So she said, "The demon race in the Illusionary Dream Realm is different from other demon races. We can only appear once every nineteen years. If you make a treaty with us, the ordinary demon race will not recognize it."

"the same."

The Spring Nourishing Sword appeared in Gu Qing's hand, and he said to Liu Mengli, "With this sword, you can freely travel between the demon realm and the human world."

The Spring Nourishing Sword has a unique shape and peaceful divine power. Gu Qing has already developed its many mysteries. Now, Liu Mengli has only briefly touched the Spring Nourishing Sword, but she has already felt the wonder of the divine sword and is about to refuse it. "This is an opportunity between the human race and the demon race."

Gu Qing took Liu Mengli's hand, presented her with the spring wine, and said, "Whether you are human or demon, you have a natural kindness. The agreement we made will surely lead to a new path between the human and demon races."

Liu Mengli gently gripped the sword and whispered, "This is a sword of the gods."

"fine."

Gu Qing readily replied, "I don't need Xiu Wu either."

After all, Gu Qing had taken care of all the people Xiu Wu needed to fight and the things he needed to do, so there was really no need for this sword.

"This is also a case of gifting a fine sword to a beautiful woman."

Gu Qing gently grasped Liu Mengli's hand, gesturing for her to hold the Chunzi Sword securely.

"A fine sword is given to a beautiful woman."

Liu Mengli looked at Gu Qing and said, "Then what should I give to the hero?"

A life-saving grace in childhood, becoming the queen of the Illusionary Realm, the future of the human and demon races, and the debt of gratitude for reviving Han Lingsha...

"Mengli".

Gu Qing said seriously, "I think love is about fulfillment, not possession. I do these things just to make you live a better life, and I don't care whether you respond to me or not."

This sounds like sycophantic, but it perfectly captures Liu Mengli's current conflicted state of mind. Looking at Gu Qing so close to her and smelling his scent, Liu Mengli couldn't help but gently rest her forehead on Gu Qing's shoulder.

Gu Qing gently patted Liu Mengli's shoulder, showing no sign of impatience. He simply comforted her in a low voice, chatting with her about everything under the sun, from the human race to the demon race.

"There has always been a deep divide between humans and demons, but there are countless legends of love between humans and demons. Perhaps the two of us can set a perfect example for future human-demon love stories."

Gu Qing spoke of the future, saying, "From now on, we will have the gods and disciples of the Qionghua Sect patrol everywhere to protect the marriages of both humans and demons..."

This future was extremely bright and interesting, which made Liu Mengli imagine it and also made her look at Gu Qing closely.

"Relying solely on the Divine Race and the disciples of the Qionghua Sect is not enough."

Liu Mengli reminded her.

"really."

Gu Qing nodded. This was something Liu Mengli had added to, so that Liu Mengli would feel involved. So he continued, "Then I will travel around the mortal world and gather all the cultivators in the world together to sign an alliance... Hmm, how about calling it the One Qi Dao Alliance?"

Liu Mengli's eyes glistened as Gu Qing coaxed her. Leaning against Gu Qing, she whispered, "Uncle Qing, I can't let Aunt Su down."

Take it!

Gu Qing gently wrapped his arm around Liu Mengli's waist and coaxed softly, "Let's take it slow, don't rush."

world.

Gu Qing returned to Mount Shu and saw that Murong Ziying was examining the disciples of the Qionghua Sect and was opening the mountain gates wide to recruit disciples on a large scale.

"Ziying, I knew you were reliable!"

Gu Qing patted Murong Ziying on the shoulder and praised him.

"Not as good as the sect leader."

Murong Ziying said sincerely.

Just a few hundred years ago, the highest ideal of the Qionghua Sect was to become an immortal. But now, several hundred years later, the Qionghua Sect uses gods and demons to guard its gates. This kind of prestige directly sets the Qionghua Sect apart from other sects in the human world. Moreover, the disciples they accept are the reincarnations of divine generals and the gods formed from the fruits of the divine tree. Gu Qing went to the Demon Realm again and brought back a large number of elite gods, including some divine sons.

To be honest, Murong Ziying had never fought such a costly battle before.

If the Qionghua Sect cannot prosper, it would be an outrage against heaven and earth!
"This book, 'Dongxia Secret Pill,' contains some additions and deletions by me. You can read it occasionally. It's not as good as the techniques I teach, but it still has its merits."

Gu Qing passed on the Dongxia Secret Pill to Murong Ziying, casually drew a few more cakes, and headed to the back mountain of Shu Mountain. There he met Su Yu, comforted her, turned around, his brows furrowed, and flew down towards the foot of Shu Mountain.

Mount Emei.

After Gu Qing drove the original Shushan Immortal Sword Sect down the mountain, they settled in this place. At this moment, on the Golden Summit of Emei, Zi Xuan stood opposite Xu Changqing and was trying to persuade him.

Xu Changqing's expression was complex, and he was quite tempted.

"Zi Xuan?!"

Gu Qing arrived with a stern face. Seeing Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing standing together, he was furious. He reached out and grabbed her, saying, "You come down the mountain with me first!"

Zi Xuan was drawn by this hand and could not resist. She followed Gu Qing and floated to the foot of Mount Emei, to a mountain valley. There was a waterfall and bright flowers. Gu Qing pressed Zi Xuan down and slapped her twice, saying, "You want to cheat on me, don't you!"

Zi Xuan was held down, and she quickly put her hands behind her back to protect her buttocks, and said angrily, "What do you mean, 'putting you in a green hat'? It's clearly you who wants to put Xu Changqing in a green hat!"

This hit the nail on the head for Gu Qing, who snorted in response.

“I came to find him because I wanted him to become a disciple of Qionghua.”

Zi Xuan said, "Joining the Qionghua Sect already provides a path to immortality, as long as he cultivates diligently..."

"And then you two stayed together, right?"

Gu Qing slapped Zi Xuan again and said, "Give up on that idea."

Gu Qing would never aid the enemy.

"If it's not okay, then it's not okay..."

Zi Xuan gently raised her head and looked at Gu Qing, saying, "If we really let him join Qionghua, he might die someday without knowing why." After saying this, Zi Xuan sighed slightly. This relationship had been entangled for three lifetimes, and it was impossible to give up easily. However, compared to Xu Changqing, Gu Qing was truly better in every way, and he could even make Zi Xuan feel happy.

Lost in thought, Zi Xuan felt Gu Qing tugging at her belt. She quickly reached out to protect him and said, "This won't do!"

Although the two had grown much closer, they still hadn't taken that final step.

"why not?"

Gu Qing kissed Zi Xuan twice on the cheek and said with dissatisfaction.

"No, it just won't work."

Zi Xuan hadn't expected things to get to this point so quickly. Seeing Gu Qing leaning in, Zi Xuan swung her legs and transformed into a snake. She hooked her arm around Gu Qing and said with a smile, "It's no good. If you're so capable, then do it yourself."

Gu Qing snorted at Zi Xuan's provocative expression, reached out and grabbed the snake's body, and skillfully probed it.

It's just a snake's body. Gu Qing is very familiar with this thing; he's the hero of the Grass Python.

Zi Xuan's face stiffened. Looking at Gu Qing's expression, she suddenly reached out and punched Gu Qing's shoulder twice, saying hatefully, "You're a beast!"

How can you even understand this?
