Gu Qingfeng followed Concubine Luo and the others, feeling rather depressed.
He never expected a dignified Immortal King to be such a letdown.
However, at least the Immortal King's concubine was decent.
To relieve the pain of "missing" the Star Extreme Immortal King, Gu Qingfeng had no choice but to seek out Concubine Luo for several "candlelit night talks."
As the saying goes, the first step is always the hardest, but once the first time happens, countless times follow. The ancients truly didn't lie to me.
Although the threat of the Star Tears was gone, Gu Qingfeng had other methods.
For example...
"Heheh... Concubine Luo, you wouldn't want your husband to find out about what happened between us, would you?"
With just one sentence, he easily had her under his thumb, molding her however he pleased.
After lingering for a few days and seeing that the Star Extreme Immortal King really had no intention of coming out, Gu Qingfeng left.
After all, new loves are the spice of life, and there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Besides, he still had an enemy in the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty.
The Divine Martial Marquis who had once forced him to jump into a river!
Damn it! In all my life, I, this Emperor, have never suffered such a loss!
Since he had to wait a few years anyway, Gu Qingfeng didn't plan to leave the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty for the time being. He intended to tour the magnificent landscape that would be his in the future, and get some revenge along the way.
After all, what belongs to his family is his, and what is his is still his.
On the journey, naturally, Jiang Li, the Great Luo Golden Immortal, was still pulling the carriage. To tame this wild horse, Gu Qingfeng specifically summoned the Shangguan sisters, Shangguan Wan'er and Shangguan Qing.
First, these two sisters were natives of the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty and could act as guides.
Second, it was to provoke Jiang Li, to let her see that women whose status, position, and cultivation were many times lower than hers could sit inside the sedan simply because they submitted to this Emperor. Meanwhile, she, the high and mighty successor of an Immortal King, could only pull the carriage from below. That was the difference.
Sure enough, when the two women appeared, Jiang Li pulled with even more exertion, trembling with anger, as if venting through physical labor.
Jiang Li could barely tolerate pulling the carriage for Gu Qingfeng; although he had a terrible personality and enjoyed torturing her, he was, after all, a powerhouse—someone who could rival an Immortal King and wield Immortal King weaponry.
But who were the Shangguan sisters?
Not only was their cultivation meager, but they were merely princesses of a remote, petty kingdom. With such status, they would need connections just to be Jiang Li's maids!
Yet now, they acted like mistresses of the house, enjoying the ride while she pulled them.
Anger, jealousy, injustice, and other negative emotions surged in Jiang Li's heart.
A voice even emerged from the depths of her mind: Submit to Elder Demon Gu's dominance. With your beauty, status, and strength, wouldn't it be effortless to wrap Elder Demon Gu around your little finger?
Then, the ones pulling the carriage would be the Shangguan sisters, and you could become the high and mighty mistress, enjoying their service!
Of course, as soon as this voice appeared, Jiang Li cast it to the back of her mind. What a joke! She was the successor of an Immortal King, a favored daughter of heaven; how could she possibly submit beneath this demon?
However, the moment this thought appeared, it meant a seed had been planted, waiting only for the right time to take root, sprout, and grow strong.
"Master, you finally remembered me!" The little tease, Shangguan Wan'er, snuggled aggressively into Gu Qingfeng's embrace, acting coquettish.
Beside her, her sister Shangguan Qing looked like she wanted to speak but stopped. After a moment of hesitation, she let out a sound as faint as a mosquito's hum: "Mas... Master."
Gu Qingfeng was very satisfied with Shangguan Qing's attitude. It seemed she had learned well from the little corpse demon during this time.
He immediately rewarded them with some Heaven and Earth Spirit Bell Liquid.
Shangguan Wan'er, whose cultivation was weaker, consumed the liquid and broke through to become a True Immortal on the spot.
It had to be said that the efficacy of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bell Liquid was truly impressive. This item was unique to Gu Qingfeng, and under his constant nurturing, its effects became more potent as his own strength increased.
Although he currently only had the cultivation of a True Immortal, in terms of physique and magical power, no Great Luo Golden Immortal in this world could compare.
Helping a mere Loose Immortal break through to become a True Immortal was simply a piece of cake.
Over the next few days, Gu Qingfeng cultivated while touring the mountains and rivers, living a life of utter joy.
It was just a pity for Jiang Li, who was polluted by the noises day and night, nearly driving her mad.
Through Gu Qingfeng's tireless efforts, he finally took a solid step toward the Earth Immortal realm.
He successfully opened an Immortal Aperture.
The True Immortal realm involved cultivating a True Immortal Body, while the Earth Immortal realm involved opening Immortal Apertures within that body. Every time an aperture was opened, it would greatly unlock the potential of the Immortal Body, significantly increasing strength and allowing for the storage of more magical power.
The Earth Immortal realm required opening a total of three hundred and sixty Immortal Apertures to reach Great Perfection.
The current Gu Qingfeng was equivalent to the lowest level Earth Immortal, having opened only one aperture. However, none of that mattered. What decent person looked at cultivation realms? To survive in this world, one relied on "family."
One day, while Gu Qingfeng was "cultivating" with Shangguan Wan'er and Shangguan Qing, the jade pendants on their discarded clothes suddenly began to glow simultaneously.
The cultivation paused instantly. Seeing the glowing pendants, the two women's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly picked them up to perceive the messages inside.
Their expressions then changed drastically.
"This is bad, Master! It's a message from my Royal Father. The Wuji Sect from the upstream Star River is going to attack our Yuhua Immortal Dynasty! He has urgently summoned us back," Shangguan Wan'er said anxiously.
Gu Qingfeng looked indifferent. For the current him, anything below the Immortal King level was not even an issue.
And what the hell was the upstream Star River? Did they really think this Emperor was still that lower-realm bumpkin who had walked out of the Heavenly Demon Realm, that stinking ditch at the very end of the Star River?
Before, he used to think the upstream and midstream regions were filled with experts like clouds. Now? Heh.
Yes, he had gotten cocky.
But if you don't get cocky when you have strength, when are you supposed to?
"Why does the Wuji Sect want to attack your Yuhua Immortal Dynasty?" Gu Qingfeng asked indifferently.
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly explained, "Master, do you remember when I told you that my Royal Father, in order to curry favor with the upstream forces, betrothed me as a concubine to a big shot from the upstream?"
"Who would remember such a trivial matter?"
Shangguan Wan'er: "..."
At this moment, Shangguan Qing, who was beside them, took over the conversation: "Master, that upstream force is the Wuji Sect, and the person Royal Father wanted me to marry is the Young Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, Li Qianji!
This person has a tyrannical nature and is unrestrained in his debauchery. He beats and scolds his concubines...
Back then, because I couldn't bear to see Wan'er suffer, I proposed to Royal Father that I marry Li Qianji instead.
Royal Father just sent a message saying he couldn't contact my sister and me for some time, and we missed the wedding date. This has enraged Li Qianji, and he intends to destroy the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty.
Master, I beg you, please save my Royal Father, save the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty."
Shangguan Qing knelt down immediately as she spoke.
Gu Qingfeng thought about it; it seemed there was indeed such a thing. The Shangguan sisters had been inside his Palm World before, so naturally, they couldn't receive messages.
"Your Royal Father pushed you into a fire pit, yet you still want to save him?" Gu Qingfeng asked with interest.
"No matter what, he is ultimately my Royal Father and raised me," Shangguan Qing said firmly.
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.

world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...
