Mu Yuhan was indeed a Half-Step Immortal Lord expert. With Gu Qingfeng's current strength, he saw through her background at first glance.
Not only was she a Half-Step Immortal Lord, but she was also an extremely powerful sword cultivator. Her strength was not beneath those Lords of the Forbidden Zones at all.
Of course, Yan Lingxue was an exception; she was just making up the numbers, existing at the very bottom of the Half-Step Immortal Lords. If it weren't for her special profound laws, she wouldn't have survived the Era Tribulation.
Most importantly, Mu Yuhan also carried a faint trace of the aura of the era. Although hidden, it couldn't deceive Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
What did this mean?
It meant that Mu Yuhan was not a newly advanced Half-Step Immortal Lord of this era, but an expert who had survived from the previous era!
She was not deeply cursed like the Lords of the Forbidden Zones, evidently having broken free of it long ago. From this, one could infer that this woman either had something special about her, or her strength surpassed that of the Lords of the Forbidden Zones.
This made Gu Qingfeng even more excited.
She was his master, incredibly powerful, and extremely beautiful—she was simply the absolute best choice to be this Emperor's dual cultivation cauldron!
Jiejiejie...
"What are you smiling about?" Mu Yuhan suddenly frowned and asked.
Gu Qingfeng was startled. Oh no, he almost laughed out loud.
"This disciple just didn't expect to see Master alive. My heart is filled with joy, and I couldn't contain my emotions."
Mu Yuhan took a deep look at Gu Qingfeng, feeling a bit strange. She felt her disciple seemed somewhat different from usual, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Observing his destiny aura, it didn't look like someone else in disguise.
Could it be because he experienced life and death this time, his mindset had changed?
Mu Yuhan didn't pry further, but asked flatly, "Your soul lamp went out earlier."
She only said this one sentence, leaving the rest unsaid.
For example, if the soul lamp went out, why didn't you die? Are you an imposter, etc...
Smart people speak with restraint, leaving room for interpretation.
Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged. He had already learned about the soul lamp from Ye Chu's memories.
As the Dao Child of the Heaven Severing Sect and a key figure in the sect, it was naturally impossible for him not to have a soul lamp.
Moreover, his soul lamp wouldn't be kept with those of ordinary disciples. Ye Chu's soul lamp was held by his nominal master, Mu Yuhan.
Ye Chu had been killed earlier, so the soul lamp went out.
Gu Qingfeng explained, "This disciple previously had all his power devoured by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, causing my immortal veins to dry up. On the way back, I accidentally encountered a bizarre creature in the River of Laws; it was a giant green-scaled python. Martial Uncle Qin also died at the hands of the python, his corpse falling into the River of Laws, leaving no bones behind.
That python coveted the destiny aura on this disciple's body, so it swallowed me. I was severely injured at the time and thought I was definitely going to die. Who would have thought that this disciple's blood would accidentally drip onto a stone inside the python's belly? That stone immediately emitted a strong black and white light, revealing its true form. It turned out to be an ancient wondrous stone, the Life and Death Dao Stone!
With the power of the Life and Death Dao Stone, this disciple found life in death, undergoing a cycle of life and death, breaking and then rebuilding. Not only did my cultivation recover, but I was even reborn. The extinguishing of the soul lamp should have been caused by the cycle of life and death.
Afterward, relying on the ancient artifact spirit in the Kunwu Sword, this disciple cut open the snake's belly, killed the giant green-scaled python, and using the python's essence, successfully triggered the Immortal King Tribulation, breaking through to the Immortal King Realm!
It's just a pity that Martial Uncle Qin and the artifact spirit of the Kunwu Sword both died because of the giant python."
Saying this, a trace of suppressed sorrow appeared on Gu Qingfeng's face.
"Life and Death Dao Stone?" A gleam flashed in Mu Yuhan's eyes. She didn't expect Ye Chu to stumble upon such an ancient wondrous object.
However, thinking of the other party's monstrous destiny, she felt nothing was impossible.
After hearing the explanation, Mu Yuhan didn't pry further, because she never cared about Ye Chu as a person, but rather his monstrous destiny.
In other words, as long as the destiny was still there, it didn't matter if the person was Ye Chu or not.
Overall, she still believed Gu Qingfeng's half-true, half-false lies. In her view, a Child of Destiny like Ye Chu would find it hard to die even if he wanted to, before his destiny dissipated.
"Tell me about the World-Destroying Demon Emperor. What kind of person do you think he is, what is his background? What is his purpose?" Mu Yuhan shifted the topic to Gu Qingfeng himself.
Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt it was marvelous. Letting him talk about what kind of person he was? Could there be a more objective evaluation in this world?
"The World-Destroying Demon Emperor is truly the number one demon this disciple has ever seen in his life. This demon's arrogance towers to the heavens, his stature is majestic, and his strength is extremely formidable, possessing the momentum to swallow mountains and rivers. Immortal King experts are like children in his hands. He truly lives up to the name of World-Destroying!
Furthermore, this demon is not only powerful but also meticulous. He didn't forcefully attack the Immortal King Assembly, but changed his appearance and sneaked in quietly. In the end, he even laid down a seal, imprisoning everyone.
A powerful demon is not scary. What is scary is that he is not only powerful but also meticulous and unpredictable. He is truly the number one demon of all eternity. Master, we must guard against this demon!"
Hearing this, Mu Yuhan's cold and elegant face became slightly grave, because she actually didn't know the background of such a powerful demon.
It was as if this demon popped out of a crack in a stone.
This sudden variable gave her an ominous premonition, feeling that this demon would affect her plans.
But no matter what, the plan had to be executed, and its execution had to be accelerated.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuhan said, "Mm, let's put the World-Destroying Demon Emperor aside for now. Since you have already broken through to the Immortal King realm, I happen to have a task for you."
"Please give your orders, Master."
"Seize the position of the Heaven Severing Sect's Sect Master!"
"What!" Gu Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise.
This surprise was not faked, but genuine surprise.
Lu Wen was like this, and Mu Yuhan was also like this. Are they forcing me, an undercover agent, to become the Sect Master?
Why?
"Master, this disciple just broke through to the Immortal King realm. There are plenty of people with high seniority in the sect. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Mu Yuhan said indifferently, "With my support, who would dare object? What you need to do is prepare diligently and defeat the other competitors. You must know that there are quite a few people who want to be the Sect Master. In the end, strength is what matters."
"Yes, Master."
Gu Qingfeng kept complaining in his heart: Strength is what matters?
Isn't this damn well asking an adult to go to kindergarten to compete for the class monitor position?
Mu Yuhan nodded in satisfaction. "I have my own plans for letting you be the Sect Master, you just go and compete. Besides, with your strength, you could fight against early-stage Immortal Kings while at the Quasi-Immortal King realm. Now that you have proven your Dao as an Immortal King, matching a mid-stage Immortal King will be a breeze. Relying on an ancient Immortal King weapon like the Kunwu Sword, plus those ancient inheritances you obtained in the secret realm, you can even give late-stage Immortal Kings a try.
The only thing to worry about are the peak Immortal King competitors. However, there's no need to worry too much. It is currently the peak period of the era, and peak Immortal Kings basically all choose to enter seclusion to break through. They shouldn't go to compete for the Sect Master position."
Gu Qingfeng was somewhat speechless. Put this way, this Emperor absolutely has to be the Sect Master? Is this the Son of Heaven's Mandate? Truly terrifying as expected!
Just what was this cheap master's true motive? Why did he insist that I become the Sect Master?
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
