Seven days later, the sect war between the Azure Emperor Sword Sect and the Tiger Fiend Sect came to an end.

With the Blood-Red Sky Curtain Formation broken, the Tiger Fiend Sect even voluntarily relinquished the Golden Rooster Ridge spirit stone mine they had previously occupied, retreating their power back to their former territory.

The Azure Emperor Sword Sect suffered heavy losses of elite disciples in this war and lacked the strength to seize the territory vacated by the Tiger Fiend Sect.

Therefore.

Both sides are accumulating strength, waiting for an opportunity, and trying to find a way to kill the other.

Some people lost their lives in the war.

Some people, however, are able to use war to continuously strengthen themselves. Gu Qing, as a mercenary employed by the Immortal Kingdom, is such a person.

Cuiyun Peak.

Deep in the bamboo forest behind the mountain.

Gu Qing placed his hand on a metal sphere with a diameter of three meters. Gradually, layers of blood-red spiritual light shone around him, forming a blurry blood-red phantom.

"It still doesn't work."

"By relying on external forces, one cannot create a second domain that belongs to oneself."

Gu Qing withdrew his right hand, and the blood-red phantom around him dissipated into the air, turning into wisps of bloody energy that flowed into the blood pool not far away.

"Master!!"

Seeing Gu Qing stop, Yang Xi came to his side and called out.

"It's Xi'er!"

"What brings you to visit your master today?"

He joked with Yang Xi with a smile.

Ever since Gu Qing set the rule that she must comprehend two fundamental mysteries and advance to level ten before she could establish her foundation, Yang Xi has gone into a frenzy, often sitting with Gu Qing's notes for two or three days at a time.

"Master, it's the sect leader who wants to talk to you about something."

Seeing his master's aura growing increasingly unfathomable, Yang Xi sighed helplessly.

"oh?!"

"Sect Leader Su?"

"Go and invite Sect Leader Su in. No, I'll go outside to greet him."

After exchanging a few words with Yang Xi, Gu Qing rode away on his white-gold flying sword.

soon.

Gu Qing arrived at the entrance of the bamboo forest.

There are several simple houses built of bamboo, forming a farmhouse courtyard.

Gu Qing, who was not used to being served by servants, mostly lived here and rarely went to the palace at the foot of the mountain.

"I'm sorry."

"I've kept the sect leader waiting."

As soon as Gu Qing stepped into the courtyard, he found Su Changge sitting on a stone bench with a pot of steaming spirit tea on the stone table.

"No, no."

"It was I who disturbed Elder Gu's seclusion. To be honest, I envy Elder Gu. He is so young yet so patient, living in seclusion in the back mountain."

"When I was young, I was far inferior to Elder Gu."

Upon hearing Gu Qing's voice, Su Changge turned to look at the entrance of the courtyard and praised her with a smile.

"hehe."

Hearing Su Changge's words, Gu Qing chuckled, went to the stone table in the courtyard, poured Su Changge a cup of hot tea, and then said with a smile:

"The sect leader is a very busy person."

"The sect is currently in dire need of rebuilding, so the sect leader certainly didn't come here just to praise me. Is there something the sect needs my assistance with?"

"this……"

Seeing that Gu Qing went straight to the point and made things clear, Su Changge hesitated a bit.

After a while.

His expression was somewhat grave, and he asked tentatively with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, "Elder Gu, you're not a local, are you? Are you from that place?"

Gu Qing's hand, which was holding the teacup, suddenly stopped moving, and various thoughts flashed through her mind.

After a moment's thought, Gu Qing smiled slightly and asked, "Which place is the Sect Master referring to?"

Seeing that Gu Qing neither denied nor confirmed, Su Changge's idea became even more firm.

He pointed to the sky and slowly uttered two words:

"The Celestial Kingdom!"

"Um?!"

When Su Changge revealed his origins, Gu Qing was not surprised. The current setting was clearly different, with many traces of immortal kingdoms.

Whether it was the flying artifact that the Crimson Emperor Sword Sect used during the previous forbidden area trials.

It was the Crimson Sky Curtain Formation used by the Tiger Fiend Sect Master.

These all bear traces of a celestial realm.

but……

Gu Qing did not immediately reveal his identity, but instead asked with a smile, "How did the Sect Master discover this?"

"Initially, it was because of the Sword Tomb Secret Realm that you displayed something special."

After Su Changge finished speaking, he took out an ancient mirror made of green jade from his storage bag. He channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the mirror, and a scene appeared on the surface.

That was the scene left behind after Gu Qing refined his natal spiritual root.

In particular, the containers used to hold various spiritual liquids bear obvious traces of the immortal realm.

There are very obvious traces of a celestial realm.

Putting away the ancient mirror, Su Changge continued:

"As Elder Gu continued to display increasingly astonishing talent, I knew that you must be a prodigy from the Immortal Kingdom who came to train. Only a prodigy from the Immortal Kingdom could possess such incredible talent as Elder Gu."

After hearing Su Changge's deduction, Gu Qing did not deny it, but nodded directly.

Immediately, he looked at Su Changge and said:

"Sect Master, this world seems very complicated. Behind many forces, there is the shadow of the Immortal Kingdom."

"To put it bluntly..."

"Any powerful family in the Immortal Kingdom, or any company under an immortal, could easily conquer this world. Why would these forces need to sneak around and disguise themselves as local powers?"

"hehe."

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Su Changge chuckled:

"The reason is simple: they are also afraid of being punished by the laws of the Celestial Kingdom."

"Forehead……"

Su Changge's answer left Gu Qing completely speechless.

The laws of the immortal realm?

As far as the Immortal Kingdom is concerned, the natives of other planes, even humans, still have no human rights.

"What do you mean by that!"

"Elder Gu must have heard the legend of the Immortal Sword Lord, right?"

"The Longevity Sword Lord is the patriarch of the four great sword sects. Ten thousand years ago, the patriarch ascended to the Immortal Kingdom."

"Not only that."

"The place where he ascended is called the Immortal Dimension."

"After undergoing numerous trials, our ancestor finally became a citizen of the Immortal Kingdom, and our seat became his fiefdom. In this way, our seat is also protected by the laws of the Immortal Kingdom."

After a pause, Su Changge continued:

"Later, the patriarch went to explore the void. According to his last message, he went to a special secret realm deep within the void, and then disappeared without a trace..."

"Thousands of years later, some villains from the immortal kingdoms plotted to seize the various secret treasures left behind by the ancestor."

"..."

After listening to Su Changge's story, Gu Qing felt that the ancestor of the Longevity Sword Master was definitely the protagonist template.

Can't help but.

Gu Qing then recalled the first trial world, where the founder of the Western Mountain Sword Sect seemed to have ascended to another plane world.

I wonder what opportunities that patriarch will have?

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Qing turned to Su Changge and said, "Sect Leader, since you know my identity, what brings you here today?"

"cooperate."

"Let's cooperate. After all, Elder Gu is also a member of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect. Rather than letting outsiders obtain the treasure left by our ancestor, it would be better for Elder Gu to take the treasure."

"After Elder Gu inherits the ancestral master's treasure, he only needs to promise me that he will drive away the people from other forces in the Immortal Kingdom."

"What is Elder Gu's opinion?"
