Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

He wanted Duan Xingchen to take action... and kill Gu Tianren...

Inside the coffin, the radiant Star Girl bit her lower lip tightly, closed her eyes, and her pretty face was filled with embarrassment.

What should I do?

Are we really going to kill Gu Tianren?

Although the other party is indeed fake, but... but...

Are you in a difficult position?

Suddenly, Gu Wangjun's voice came to my ears.

Duan Xingchen paused for a moment, then turned to her side inside the coffin, looking through the coffin lid at the spot where Gu Wangjun was lying, and murmured softly, "A little bit."

“If we don’t do this, we will die, and the real Blue Feather Heavenly Palace will also suffer.”

"This is the only solution, at least for now."

Gu Wangjun was calmer than expected.

But from his words, Duan Xingchen could still detect a hint of displeasure in Gu Wangjun: "Senior Brother, do you think you can bring yourself to do it?"

Faced with his junior sister's sudden question, Gu Wangjun was taken aback.

"I have to be able to, even if I can't," he said with a wry smile.

"That's true."

Duan Xingchen sighed and then said nothing more.

Gu Wangjun turned over in bed, his gaze falling on the pool of moonlight spilling through the window onto the cold ground not far away. After a long silence—

"Let's do it tomorrow night, while he's asleep."

"Um……"

Duan Xingchen nodded silently. Although he was quite unwilling, he had no other choice but to kill Gu Tianren.

Let the long night pass by, and wait for tomorrow to come.

Thinking this, Duan Xingchen silently closed his eyes and gradually sank into a dream under the familiar light.

……

……

The next day.

noon.

"Gentlemen, I have good news to tell you."

Gu Tianren, who entered with a gentle smile, was still wearing the Taoist robe of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

His face was particularly pale at this moment, as if he hadn't slept well. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he even deliberately covered half of one eye with his bangs.

"good news?"

Duan Xingchen climbed out of the coffin. She had thought too much last night, so she hadn't slept well.

She glanced at Gu Tianren, and subconsciously thought that he would lose his life tonight. She immediately felt a shiver run down her spine, and her expression became strangely odd.

Seeing that Xingchen showed no excitement, Gu Tianren asked curiously, "What? This is really good news—I just received a message from the Palace Master, and she said that you can go directly into the Blue Ice Pool."

Blue Ice Pool!

The final step in the Cleansing of the Desolate Dust Record!

Duan Xingchen's eyes sparkled as she quickly climbed out of the coffin: "Really?"

"Of course." Gu Tianren proudly puffed out his chest and patted it. "I will do my best to fulfill my promise."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xingchen blinked and turned to look at Gu Wangjun for a while.

Since the plan was to be carried out at night anyway, going to the Blue Ice Pool first wouldn't be a problem.

Gu Wangjun nodded to Duan Xingchen. The two had developed a deep understanding that allowed them to communicate without words, and Xingchen immediately understood Gu Wangjun's thoughts.

"Shall we head to the Blue Ice Pool now? Is that convenient?"

"It's alright." Gu Tianren smiled, his face pale. "I'll take you there."

After speaking, he went out first. Duan Xingchen noticed that he also called Gu Asan along with him. However, Gu Asan was obviously not sleeping well at the moment. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked a little scared when he saw Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun.

This kid is really honest; he can't even pretend.

Fortunately, Gu Tianren didn't seem to care too much about these things. Instead, he led Gu Wangjun and the other man into the main palace and into the deepest part of the palace.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a frigid landscape.

Extremely transparent frost covered the entire surrounding space. In the center of the huge, irregular space, there was a small pool that resembled a pond. The edge of the pool was made of azure ice blocks, while the water inside was an unknown clear water that constantly emitted white mist.

Duan Xingchen glanced at it; it was crystal clear, and unsurprisingly, the bottom was also made of ice crystals.

The water in the pool felt completely different from ordinary water; it even looked somewhat like a solid—clearly not moving, yet constantly rippling.

The spiritual energy inside was so abundant and sacred that it was beyond compare, which inexplicably gave Duan Xingchen's holy body a sense of intimacy. The moment she saw the water, she had the idea of ​​taking off her clothes and bathing in it.

It was as if these liquids would become one with her.

"This is... the Blue Ice Pool..."

Duan Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. The ice crystals around him looked different from the ice crystals outside. There were also a lot of cone-shaped ice crystals on the top, which looked like they were formed from rising white mist.

"The water in the Blue Ice Pool is the essence of Lord Lan Yutianbing. Only one drop is formed every thousand years. You came to the Blue Ice Pool to bathe, right? The effects of bathing in it are not just about prolonging life. It can also quickly remove impurities from the body and even induce a unique elemental constitution."

At this point, Gu Tianren couldn't help but chuckle: "However, it depends on the person. I've tried it before, but unfortunately, it didn't trigger my elemental physique. You guys can give it a try—but you can't soak for too long, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the Palace Master~"

Duan Xingchen nodded: "It's okay, we won't soak for too long."

"That's good, I trust you both." Gu Tianren forced a strange smile, his face even paler than before. He quickly turned around and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I'll head back now."

"Are you alright?" Gu Wangjun noticed Gu Tianren's problem; he seemed to be in very poor condition.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired."

Gu Tianren seemed unwilling to let Gu Wangjun and the other man pay too much attention to him, so he turned around and gave them a reassuring smile: "I'll go back and rest first. Ah San... help me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Asan quickly went to Gu Tianren's side to help his master up, but his expression was inexplicably strange.

Why is Gu Tianren so weak?

Logically speaking, after awakening his Divine Eye, shouldn't he have become even stronger? Why does he look sickly instead?

This question lingered in Gu Asan's mind—no, not only Gu Asan, but also Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun felt something was strange.

Watching Gu Asan and Gu Tianren leave, Duan Xingchen turned back to look at the blue ice pool in front of her. The water in the pool did indeed feel quite familiar to her. She had a strong feeling that if she could absorb this pure water, the Great Ascension Realm of the Cleansing Demon Desolate Dust Record would probably open its doors to her.

but.

Before this, she had involuntarily frowned, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"What's wrong? Are you still worried about Gu Tianren?" Gu Wangjun noticed the expression on his junior sister's face and couldn't help but ask.

In his opinion, Duan Xingchen's personality was indeed not suited to killing, so he had silently decided that he would take the lead in the operation that night.

He will be the one to send off this chief disciple of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

However, this was not what Duan Xingchen cared about.

“No, Senior Brother…” Duan Xingchen shook his head, and while looking at Gu Wangjun, his tone was full of disbelief: “You may not believe it, but this Blue Ice Pool… might be strange.”

"Strange? What's strange?"

Gu Wangjun doesn't have Xingchen's keen perception.

With a grave expression, Duan Xingchen pointed to the blue ice pool in front of him, which exuded a sacred aura, and said frankly, "I seem to smell a trace... of a demon once bathed in this blue ice pool."

"magic?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wangjun was somewhat startled: "The Blue Ice Pool is the essence of Blue Feather Heavenly Ice, a pure and sacred object. Even an ancient demon would be instantly reduced to ashes upon touching the water in this pool."

"I also thought it was unlikely, but I just smelled it..."

Duan Xingchen was also undecided at this moment.

just.

She gazed at the pool of blue ice liquid before her, sensing the faint, elusive aura of demonic energy, and swallowed hard.

Duan Xingchen suddenly realized something and asked blankly, "Senior Brother, if something that was once sacred has fallen into demonic form, would the damage it suffer be less if it came into contact with this Blue Ice Liquid?"

"This..." Gu Wangjun had never thought of these things. After pondering for a while, he still answered uncertainly, "Perhaps. After all, a once sacred being, after falling into demonhood, might still retain a trace of its essence."

"Then...is it possible..."

Duan Xingchen couldn't believe his own guess.

But her intuition told her that there was such a possibility—

"Since everyone from the Holy Feather Sect has appeared at the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace twice in a row..."

"Could it be that Grandfather, the sect leader... has already been here?"

Mind this.

The two of them suddenly thought of an even more serious problem.

If the plane they are currently in is an illusory dream—

Those demons of the Holy Feather Sect...

Where did it come from?

38. The ultimate is demonic.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A violent coughing sound.

Gu Tianren, unable to bear the pain, leaned against the wall beside him, his left hand covering his mouth. His body trembled weakly and rapidly, as if he had been tormented by hunger and cold. His face was as pale as paper, and his steps were unsteady, as if he would stagger and fall to the ground at any moment.

He made a great effort to get to the bedside, and only after sitting on the soft, snow-white mattress did he show a slight sense of relief. However, the surge of blood and qi that followed made him cough violently again.

Blood trickled from between his fingers. Gu Tianren frowned, his trembling hand pulling his left hand away from his mouth.
