Starting with a blind date with a female constable, you acquire the Nine Swords of Dugu.

Chapter 213 Heavenly Sect

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Gu Guanqi slowly opened his eyes. He had completely integrated the Fire Dance Whirlwind True Qi. At the same time, he had also mastered the unity of man and sword brought about by the Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique. He had also adapted to the fusion of multiple martial arts realms and broken through to a new realm.

He had already reached the pinnacle of shattering, touching upon a higher level of the ultimate principles and laws of heaven and earth.

He meditated for a while, walked to the door, and slowly opened it. He saw Xu Zhiwei sitting in the courtyard, with a food box on the stone table.

Upon seeing Gu Guanqi, Xu Zhiwei's eyes widened in surprise. "No, you're actually breaking through?" she exclaimed.

Gu Guanqi smiled slightly. He wasn't surprised that Xu Zhiwei knew, because when he received the Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique, he sensed Zhang Daoji and the others appearing outside the courtyard.

They came openly and honestly, without any concealment, so they must have been able to sense the unusual phenomenon of his true energy merging with his cultivation level. Therefore, it's not surprising that Xu Zhiwei knew he was truly breaking through.

Gu Guanqi immediately cupped his hands in thanks and said, "I must thank Master Xu for his help!"

Xu Zhiwei tossed her hair, quite proudly saying, "It seems this young lady truly possesses unparalleled beauty and charm. With just a slight move, I've already made a dignified sword immortal fall for me! Alas, my irresistible allure!"

Gu Guanqi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Master Xu is naturally a woman of unparalleled beauty and rare talent in the world."

Xu Zhiwei said, "Since I'm also captivated by your handsome face, I'll allow you to praise me more, and I don't mind letting you witness my excellence again!"

As she spoke, Xu Zhiwei slowly opened the food box on the table, which contained rice, dishes, and soup.

She took out the food one by one, then handed a pair of chopsticks to Gu Guanqi, saying, "Here, let me show you my cooking skills."

.

Thank you!

Gu Guanqi thanked him, took the chopsticks, and started tasting the food.

It must be said that Xu Zhiwei's dishes not only look good, but also taste great, far surpassing the skills of most restaurant chefs.

"How is it?" Xu Zhiwei asked.

Gu Guanqi gave a thumbs up and said, "It looks, smells, and tastes amazing! Master Xu is truly remarkable!"

Xu Zhiwei pouted and said, "Shouldn't you have added something?"

"Add what?" Gu Guanqi asked, puzzled.

Xu Zhiwei pointed to herself and said, "And with me sitting here, you should also add 'a feast for the eyes,' okay?"

Gu Guanqi said helplessly, "Can this word be used so casually?"

Xu Zhiwei chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore." With that, she opened the soup bowl and pushed it in front of Gu Guanqi, saying, "This is spirit fish soup. Although with your cultivation level, it certainly won't help you increase your power, this fish soup can strengthen your foundation, nourish your body, and has many benefits."

"it is good."

Gu Guanqi immediately picked up the soup and started drinking it.

Xu Zhiwei sat opposite Gu Guanqi, staring blankly into space.

Gu Guanqi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and asked, "Master Xu, is there something on my face?"

"No," Xu Zhiwei said, "It's just that you're good-looking, and I like looking at you. Beauty is pleasing to the eye!"

Gu Guanqi:

So this word was meant for me.

Just then, a young Taoist disciple rushed in from outside the courtyard, shouting, "Grandmaster Uncle, something terrible has happened! The people from the Heavenly Sect are here!"

Xu Zhiwei frowned and said, "Why are you here at this time?"

Gu Guanqi asked in confusion, "What is the Heavenly Sect?"

"A bunch of annoying guys," Xu Zhiwei said. "About 140 years ago, our Tianyi Sect produced a genius who proposed a concept that contradicted our traditional alchemy philosophy. Our Tianyi Sect's alchemy focuses on refining pills. But that person believed that pills should be cultivated."

Gu Guanqi asked, "And then a huge conflict occurred?"

"No, not at all," Xu Zhiwei said. "The Heavenly Dao Sect is very inclusive, and its philosophy of cultivating the Golden Core is not some kind of demonic method, so there is no conflict. On the contrary, many senior sects at the time recognized it and strongly supported it, hoping to forge a completely new path of cultivation."

After all, in the world of cultivation, stagnation is highly discouraged; without progress, one will inevitably be eliminated sooner or later. Take, for example, the various unique techniques of our Heavenly Dao Sect. The reason they have remained the pinnacle of martial arts is because we have constantly evolved and innovated, and are no longer the versions passed down from our original founder.

Gu Guanqi nodded slightly and asked, "What happened next?"

Xu Zhiwei said, "Later, that guy couldn't cultivate the Golden Core, so he became more and more obsessed. In the end, he even went so far as to believe that the reason he couldn't cultivate the Golden Core was because this new path of cultivation was not recognized by heaven and earth and lacked the blessing of fortune."

Therefore, he wanted to build a new Tianyi Sect. This touched a nerve with the Tianyi Sect. They supported him in establishing his own sect, but he couldn't undermine the sect's reputation!

So, after some reasoning and emotional appeal, that guy finally came to his senses and ran off to establish a sect, calling himself the Heavenly Sect. But he was unconvinced, believing that his Golden Core Dao was the future of the Heavenly Dao Sect, so he often brought his disciples to the Heavenly Dao Sect to debate.

Later, he died, but the tradition of debate remained, lasting for over a hundred years. Those disciples of the Heavenly Sect are all completely obsessed; they come to our Heavenly Dao Sect every year to debate. Although we've never won, those guys are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and their philosophies are becoming more and more mature. Last year, I debated with them, and my lips were practically dry from talking so much.

Gu Guanqi said, "Oh, no hatred, just a purely theoretical debate?"

"Yes," Xu Zhiwei said, "it's just a purely theoretical debate, but those guys are really annoying. They do nothing but think about how to win against our Tianyi Sect every day. Because in their view, as long as they win the debate, the Daoist fortune of Tianyi Sect will be blessed by Tianzong, so they are very persistent."

Gu Guanqi nodded slightly and said, "Since you come every year, isn't there a fixed time?"

"No," Xu Zhiwei said, "It all depends on the mood of those people from Tianzong; their arrival times are unpredictable each time."

Gu Guanqi frowned slightly and said, "Then, isn't this a bit too coincidental? It just so happens that we are preparing to deal with the Crimson Heaven Demon King, and they just happen to come at this critical moment."

"This—" Xu Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "It feels a bit too coincidental. I'll go and test them in a bit." As she spoke, Xu Zhiwei looked at the food on the table and said, "You eat quickly, and we'll go together after you're done."

Gu Guanqi finished his meal in no time.

Then, he went with Xu Zhiwei to a grand hall.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, they saw two groups of people clearly separated.

On one side were Taoist priests from the Tianyi Sect, including senior elders and younger disciples, all seated on the futons on the left.

On the right was a group of twelve or thirteen Taoist priests, all dressed in white robes. The leader was a handsome Taoist priest who looked no more than three thousand years old, who was sitting opposite Zhang Daoji on a futon, debating.

In addition, there were the Holy Monk Lianchi, Leng Lingxi, and Li Wentian, who sat in another part of the main hall, watching the excitement as bystanders.

"It's starting already?" Gu Guanqi asked in confusion.

Xu Zhiwei led Gu Guanqi around the side, whispering as they walked, "It's the same every year. These people from Tianzong always start arguing with our Tianyi Sect leader as soon as they arrive."

Gu Guanqi asked, "How long does it usually last?"

Xu Zhiwei said, "It can take anywhere from ten days to three to five days." Then, she pointed to the Taoist priest arguing with Zhang Daoji and said, "That man is Su Qingzi, the current sect leader of the Heavenly Sect. He looks very young, but he's actually the same age as my senior brother, the sect leader. This guy is a bit crazy!"

"Crazy?" Gu Guanqi asked in confusion.

Xu Zhiwei said, "He's obsessed, even fanatical. He's only interested in researching the Golden Elixir. Now he's in his sixties or seventies, and apart from coming to our Tianyi Sect for debates every year, he almost never goes down the mountain, so he has no reputation in the martial arts world."

However, his cultivation level is very high, just like my senior brother, the Master, both above the Dao Entry stage. But his combat strength is unclear; he doesn't seem to have made a move.

"Above the Path of Enlightenment?" Gu Guanqi asked. "Is there no specific name?"

"There's no specific name," Xu Zhiwei shook her head and said, "In the realm of the Heavenly Dao Sect, entering the Dao is already the pinnacle of mortal martial arts. But the path of martial arts is endless, and going beyond that is a matter of personal comprehension."

Everyone's understanding is different. Some understand the general trend of heaven and earth, some understand the laws of human life, some understand the mundane world, and so on. There are also unorthodox and strange paths, but they are all collectively referred to as entering the Tao.

That's just a saying; in the real world of martial arts, it comes down to who's the strongest fighter. Because every school of thought has its own set of rules. For example, Buddhism has celestial beings and Vajra warriors, and temples have demigods, but in actual combat, it's a completely different story.

Gu Guanqi nodded slightly; he naturally understood this principle.

He had encountered the Vajra realm of Buddhism before, back in the imperial city when he killed General Yan Kunlun, who broke through to the Vajra realm of the Celestial Being during the battle.

At that time, he could clearly feel that Yan Kunlun's realm surpassed his and Zhang Jiexi's at that time. However, when they actually fought, Yan Kunlun still broke through Yan Kunlun's defense with a single sword strike. Although Zhang Jiexi's realm was not as high as Yan Kunlun's, he was still able to block the sword strike.

Even Mo Xun, the later head of the temple, surpassed him in cultivation level, but in a fight, he still couldn't defeat him.

"And what happens after you enter the Dao?" Gu Guanqi asked.

"That's all," Xu Zhiwei said. "The so-called 'above the Dao' means infinite. Some people comprehend ascension, some comprehend immortality, some comprehend transcendence, and so on. All of these are above the Dao."

If we insist on a clear division of realms, then it can only be the legendary immortals. However, whether this immortality is a realm, an ability, or simply a concept, even within our Heavenly Dao Sect, there is no specific record. In any case, our patriarch said that they ascended to immortality, but how exactly that happened is unknown to us, their descendants.

Gu Guanqi nodded slightly and said, "In other words, this realm above the Path of Enlightenment is a profound realm."

"Yes, it contains all wonders and infinite mysteries," Xu Zhiwei said. "It comprehends the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, understands the laws of heaven and earth, and follows the laws of the world."

Gu Guanqi seemed to be deep in thought. His current level of attainment was above the Dao.

This morning, after integrating the Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique, he felt as if he had hit a bottleneck. Now it seems that it was not a bottleneck in his realm, but rather that he had reached a stage where he was about to comprehend some kind of ability that transcends martial arts.

Just then, Zhang Daoji and Su Qingzi finished their debate, stood up, bowed to each other, and the Taoists behind them also stood up and bowed.

Su Qingzi said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Su Zhen. I have benefited greatly from it."

Zhang Daoji also politely said, "The principles that Junior Brother Suqing has comprehended through his secluded cultivation over the past year have been like a revelation to me."

"It all makes sense now." He said, looking at Xu Zhiwei who was slowly walking over. "However, I am not as skilled as you, my junior brother. I am old and frail and am already a little weak. So, Junior Sister Su Chen will continue the debate with you."

"it is good."

Su Qingzi nodded slightly, then turned to Xu Zhiwei and said, "Junior Sister Su Chen, it's been a long time." After speaking, his gaze fell on Gu Guanqi, and he was instantly stunned after just one glance. He exclaimed, "Such profound Daoist aura! Truly a celestial being! May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Xu Zhiwei said, "This is Gu Guanqi, the leader of the martial arts alliance of Qingyun and Hongzhou. He also practices Taoist methods, but he has not become a monk."

Su Qingzi quickly replied, "So it's the renowned Alliance Leader Gu! This humble Taoist, Su Qingzi, greets you!"

Gu Guanqi cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Daoist Master."

Su Qingzi looked at Gu Guanqi and said, "Alliance Leader Gu's Daoist nature is the only one I have ever seen in my life. I suppose even the Buddha-nature of the legendary Master Fuke Gyatso, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Buddha from the ancient kingdom of Tanyue, is no more than this."

Xu Zhiwei interrupted Su Qingzi, saying, "Senior Brother Su Qing, Alliance Leader Gu has deep worldly ties, and he cultivates the Path of Passion, which he created himself. Don't even think about trying to get him to become a monk."

Su Qingzi smiled slightly and said, "That's a bit of a pity. With Alliance Leader Gu's Daoist nature, if he were willing to devote himself to cultivation, he would surely become a true immortal."

Xu Zhiwei walked over and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about our own things."

Su Qingzi nodded and said, "After losing the debate with my junior sister last year, I devoted myself to cultivation for another year and believe that I have made great progress. Please enlighten me, junior sister!"

"Don't rush to argue," Xu Zhiwei waved her hand and said, "Before that, let me ask you something. The timing of your visit to the Heavenly Dao Sect this time is a bit too coincidental. I ask you, are you here for the Crimson Heaven Demon King?"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The monk Lianchi and the others also became wary.

Gu Guanqi was completely taken aback. He never expected that Xu Zhiwei's so-called test would be such a direct question.

However, to Gu Guanqi's even greater surprise, Su Qingzi actually nodded in agreement.

"Junior sister, the reason I came to the Heavenly Dao Sect at this time is indeed because of the Crimson Heaven Demon King," Su Qingzi replied.

Xu Zhiwei asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Exorcise demons and attain enlightenment." Su Qingzi said, "Some time ago, the Crimson Heaven Demon King separated a wisp of his demonic seed and controlled a Jianghu person who came to me, wanting to cooperate with me. He asked me to help him escape his predicament, and then he could help me make the Heavenly Sect the orthodox sect of the Heavenly Dao, become the leader of the Daoist sects, and enjoy the fortune of the Daoist sects of the world."

"So, you agreed?" Xu Zhiwei asked.

Su Qingzi shook her head and said, "Although the Crimson Heaven Demon King is also a member of the Daoist sect, his cultivation philosophy has been corrupted by demonic influences. I debated with him at the time, but I couldn't persuade him, and of course, he couldn't persuade me either."

So we made our move, and in the end, I eliminated that wisp of his demonic will. However, in the process of eliminating his will, I suddenly realized a way to completely kill the Crimson Heaven Demon King, so I decided to come to the Heavenly Dao Sect ahead of schedule.

Upon hearing this, the Lotus Pond Saint Monk, Li Wentian, and Leng Lingxi all became interested and walked over. Gu Guanqi also went over.

Zhang Daoji asked, "Junior Brother Su Qing, what method do you have to completely kill the Crimson Heaven Demon King?"

Su Qingzi slowly said, "In fact, the reason why the Crimson Heaven Demon King cannot be killed is not because he is truly immortal. There are many martial arts in this world that, when mastered, will give one the ability to be almost immortal."

But these so-called immortals either possess extremely strong regenerative abilities, top-tier defensive capabilities, or have undergone physical mutations that allow them to neutralize common fatal wounds.

They all listened quietly.

Gu Guanqi agreed with Su Qingzi's words. There are all sorts of martial arts in this world, and many can be described as mysterious and unpredictable. However, if you really understand the key to them, you will realize that mystery is just a construct.

For example, Gu Guanqi's own Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art, after reaching perfection, was also touted as immortal. But he knew that it meant he had extremely strong regenerative abilities; as long as he wasn't killed on the spot, he had a chance to heal himself, not that he was truly immortal.

Su Qingzi continued, "The reason why the Crimson Heaven Demon King is immortal is because he has abandoned his physical body and exists in the world as a demon seed. This form is essentially a spiritual will, so it can ignore ordinary damage such as swords, water, and fire. After all, none of them can touch him; they can only clash with each other using spiritual power."

Even using spiritual power, they still couldn't kill him. For example, Senior Brother Suzhen and Holy Monk Lianchi were both masters of their time, and their spiritual realm was extraordinary, yet they still couldn't kill the Crimson Heaven Demon King. The fundamental reason was the difference in their realms.

Although Senior Brother Suzhen and Holy Monk Lianchi have profound attainments in the spiritual path and have reached the realm of transcendence, the Crimson Demon King is different. His spiritual power has transcended, and at the moment he abandoned his physical body, he had already embarked on a new path of corpse liberation to become an immortal.

At this level, a distinction arises between immortals and mortals. That is, their levels of life are different; lower-level power cannot harm higher-level energy. This is similar to how ordinary cultivators cannot harm the spiritual power of those who have achieved mastery in the spiritual path.

Zhang Daoji said, "Junior Brother Suqing's words hit the nail on the head. In short, it's because our understanding of the spiritual path is insufficient."

Li Wentian said, "Cultivating the spiritual path is inherently difficult, and achieving results is even more challenging. I'm afraid that in the world today, it would be very difficult to find someone who can reach the level of the Crimson Heaven Demon King in the spiritual path."

Zhang Daoji nodded and said, "Therefore, we can only see if we can combine other methods to allow one of us to gain spiritual power comparable to that of the Crimson Heaven Demon King in a short period of time, so that we can either kill the Crimson Heaven Demon King or continue to seal him away."

"It's actually very difficult," Su Qingzi said. "Forty years ago, the old sect leader's achievements in the spiritual path were definitely among the top three in the history of the Heavenly Dao Sect. But even with his cultivation and the Dao Seeking Sword that could be passed down for thousands of years, he could only seal the Crimson Heaven Demon King, and he couldn't even completely seal him. Now, it's even more difficult to continue down that path."

Everyone fell silent.

Xu Zhiwei then said, "We understand the logic, Senior Brother, just tell us your method!"

Su Qingzi nodded slightly and said, "My method is simple, but in the world today, I am probably the only one who can do it."

As he spoke, he began to circulate his internal energy. Slowly, a unique energy emanated from his body, different from true qi and innate qi, but a very pure Daoist charm.

Immediately afterwards, the wisps of Daoist energy gathered and swirled in front of him, gradually condensing into a pill that radiated white light.

"Golden Core?" Zhang Daoji asked in surprise.

"Almost," Su Qingzi said, "This is indeed a manifestation of the Golden Core Dao, but it's still half a step away from a true Golden Core. As for what that half step is, Senior Brother, you should know."

Zhang Daoji nodded slightly and said, "The fortune of the Daoist sect."

Su Qingzi continued, "My Golden Core Path is a different path from the martial arts of this world. The Demon King's Demon Seed is not superior to my Golden Core; we belong to the same level of energy. However, my realm is lower than his."

My idea is, since we can't find a high-level force to kill him, could we try a different approach and lower his cultivation level?

Zhang Daoji asked in confusion, "Junior brother, what do you mean?"

"It's just as you think," Su Qingzi said. "The Crimson Heaven Demon King has never seen the Golden Core Dao and is not familiar with this power. And his demonic seed can invade the Dao heart of others."

We can deliberately create opportunities for him to invade my Dao heart, and then I can use my golden core to trap him and gradually melt him. No matter whether I win or he wins in the end, he will not be able to leave my body in a short period of time, and the demonic seed will also be tainted by my golden core and produce impurities.

At that time, his cultivation level will naturally drop. Once his cultivation level falls, there will be a way to kill him. Of course, this method can only be used once. Once he becomes familiar with my Golden Core Dao, it will no longer be able to trap him.

Zhang Daoji quickly said, "This method is inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Su Qingzi asked.

Zhang Daoji said, "The risk is too great. The Crimson Heaven Demon King's spiritual realm is too high. He is risking his life. Junior Brother, you cannot withstand his will. In the end, you will become his puppet."

Su Qingzi said, "I know, but that doesn't matter. I did lose, but he merged with my golden core in a short time, and his cultivation level will drop, or rather, his abilities will be corrupted. At that time, you can kill him."

Xu Zhiwei said, "That's the problem. If we kill him then, won't you die too?"

"The Great Dao is destined for calamity, and I will bear it myself. What is there to fear in my demise?" Su Qingzi smiled slightly and said, "If the Crimson Heaven Demon King truly breaks the seal, then countless lives will be lost, and my death alone will not avert the disaster!"

Everyone understood what Su Qingzi meant.

This is clearly an attempt to take the Crimson Sky Demon King down with them.

"Amitabha," said the Holy Monk Lianchi, pressing his palms together, "Daoist Suqingzi's selfless and detached state of mind has already led him to enlightenment and immortality. This humble monk admires him greatly."

Su Qingzi finished her practice, and the golden elixir dissipated.

He then bowed to the Holy Monk of Lotus Pond and said, "Holy Monk, you flatter me. I am not so noble, and I also have selfish motives."

My path to the Golden Core has reached a bottleneck, and there is no hope ahead. The vast and boundless fortune of the Daoist sects over the past millennium has all converged on the Heavenly Dao Sect. My path needs to transfer this fortune, which requires surpassing the Heavenly Dao Sect.

However, the Heavenly Dao Sect is blessed with good fortune and its talents are flourishing. As Senior Brother Su Zhen grew old, Junior Sister Su Chen immediately appeared to take over. I have no hope of surpassing the Heavenly Dao Sect and transferring its good fortune.

Therefore, I have no choice but to change my approach and try other methods. The Crimson Heaven Demon King is a spiritual demon seed. If I can defeat him, erase his will, and successfully merge with his spiritual realm, I can glimpse a higher realm, and then use this to deduce the Golden Core Dao and forge a completely new path.

Although my chances of defeating him are less than ten percent, as the saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." This method can not only avert a catastrophe but also give me a glimpse into the Great Dao, so I can die without regret!

Gu Guanqi finally understood why Xu Zhiwei had called Su Qingzi a madman. In pursuit of the Great Dao, he truly disregarded his own life. Fortunately, the Golden Core Dao was a legitimate and orthodox Daoist path; otherwise, if he had taken some unorthodox or heretical path, he would certainly have resorted to any means necessary. After all, if he didn't care about his own life, he naturally wouldn't care about anything else.

"Senior Brother!" Su Qingzi looked at Zhang Daoji and said, "From a moral standpoint, for the sake of all living beings, you should grant my request. From my personal perspective, this is my only chance to glimpse the future; please grant my request!"

Zhang Daoji frowned and said, "Let's discuss this later!"

Su Qingzi said, "Senior brother, since you have asked the Lotus Pond Saint Monk and others to come forward, it means that the Crimson Heaven Demon King is about to break free from the seal. The matter is very urgent. If the Crimson Heaven Demon King escapes and causes widespread death because of your hesitation, then you will be blamed."

Zhang Daoji was speechless; this was a classic case of moral blackmail.

He waved his hand and said, "I've been adjusting the formation recently, and we can tear an opening tomorrow. At that time, the Lotus Pond Saint Monk and Alliance Leader Gu will enter it to carefully sense the energy of the Crimson Heaven Demon King. Then we can discuss it and perhaps find a better way."

"Amitabha," the Holy Monk Lianchi also advised, "Daoist Suqingzi, the Great Dao is before us. Even if it is unclear for a time, there is always a way to dispel the fog. Do not be anxious."

Su Qingzi waved her hand and said, "If none of you can find a better way, then you'll have to use my method."

Everyone remained silent.

Su Qingzi smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Zhiwei and said, "Junior Sister, let's begin our debate!"

"it is good."

Xu Zhiwei bowed to Su Qingzi.

Su Qingzi returned the greeting, and then the two sat down on the prayer mats and began their debate.

Gu Guanqi listened for a while, but his interest waned, so he left to read the documents about the Crimson Sky Demon King.

Zhang Daoji's records of the Crimson Heaven Demon King were very detailed, and they also included many documents from Taoist classics about realms beyond the Dao, which greatly increased Gu Guanqi's desire to read them.

He had only been looking around for a short while when he noticed someone coming from outside the door. When he looked up, he saw that it was Leng Lingxi, the leader of the Tianshan Sect.

Dressed in white, with a cool and aloof expression, she walked to the door. The sunlight outside enveloped her, making her appear somewhat hazy, but her temperament seemed to make even the sunlight seem a bit cold.

"Master Leng." Gu Guanqi cupped his hands in greeting.

"Alliance Leader Gu."

Leng Lingxi responded with a sound of agreement, but didn't say anything more. She walked straight in, took a book from the bookshelf, and began to look through it.

Seeing that Leng Lingxi didn't seem interested in talking, Gu Guanqi remained silent and sat down to read his book.

He also participated in the discussion yesterday and knew that Leng Lingxi was just like that. Even though everyone was discussing it enthusiastically yesterday, Leng Lingxi rarely expressed her own opinions.

The side hall was very quiet.

Only Gu Guanqi and Leng Lingxi were sitting inside, each reading a book.

Gu Guanqi glanced at Leng Lingxi. He felt that Leng Lingxi and Jiang Baili were very similar, both possessing a cold and aloof temperament that kept strangers at bay, and both were also stunningly beautiful.

However, Jiang Baili is too naive and clueless, and she has no interest in many things. So, she seems cold, but in reality, she is just a little girl and quite lively.

But Leng Lingxi is definitely different. As the head of the Tianshan Sect, she is equivalent to a regional lord, so she can't possibly have a pure and innocent personality.

Gu Guanqi glanced at Leng Lingxi, but didn't look at her again.

At this moment, Leng Lingxi glanced at Gu Guanqi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Alliance Leader Gu, what do you think of Daoist Su Qingzi's proposal?"

Gu Guanqi looked up and said, "If we really can't find any other way, then we can only try the method that Daoist Su Qingzi mentioned. Sect Leader Leng, do you have any ideas?"

Leng Lingxi said, "What I'm more worried about now is that the Crimson Heaven Demon King was originally split into three. Although the main demon seed was suppressed in this Heavenly Dao Sect, there were two other demon seeds. Now that decades have passed, no one can be sure how far those two demon seeds have developed."

Now that we're dealing with the demonic seed beneath the Demon-Suppressing Well, will the other two demonic seeds remain unresponsive? Therefore, while Master Su Qingzi's selfless suggestion is admirable, whether it will achieve the desired effect is still uncertain. In fact, I worry that it might backfire.

Gu Guanqi frowned slightly. Since coming to the Heavenly Dao Sect, he had only been focused on his blind date with Xu Zhiwei and had completely overlooked the issue Leng Lingxi had raised: the demonic seed of the Crimson Heaven Demon King had been split into three back then.

The Feng Xiwan he dealt with in Wujia Town before, and the Chitian Demon King that Su Qingzi just mentioned came to negotiate with him, should both be mental puppets created by those two demon seeds outside.

This is enough to show that the two demonic seeds outside have now grown to a considerable level.

Previously, Feng Xiwan was also discovered when he secretly infiltrated the forbidden area behind the Heavenly Dao Sect. His purpose in going to the forbidden area was obvious; he was definitely targeting the Crimson Heaven Demon King.

Now that they want to deal with the Crimson Sky Demon King, the two demon seeds outside cannot theoretically stand idly by.

Gu Guanqi said, "However, we don't have a better solution right now. We can only go and see the Crimson Demon King tomorrow, try to contact his spiritual energy, and see if we can come up with a way to deal with him."

Leng Lingxi nodded slightly and said, "Actually, I do have another way."

Gu Guanqi asked in confusion, "What method?"

Leng Lingxi said very seriously, "If we could continue to seal it for a few more years, with Alliance Leader Gu's talent and the unique advantages of the Amorous Path, he should be able to break through to an unimaginable realm very soon."

"Our Tianshan Sect has many female disciples, among whom are many outstanding individuals, all of whom can wholeheartedly assist Alliance Leader Gu in her cultivation. Once Alliance Leader Gu's talent develops, it won't be long before she is able to suddenly be able to deal with the Crimson Heaven Demon King."

Gu Guanqi smiled slightly and asked, "Is Sect Leader Leng also willing to help me?"
