Chapter 542: Chapter 409: Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique, Surging Winds and Clouds

They were all keenly aware that the destruction of the Land of Inheritance had not only caused them grievous losses but, more importantly, had dealt a severe blow to the faith of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

"The Land of Inheritance was so well hidden. How did the Garrison Commandant’s Office learn of it and lay siege to it! One of you tell me—why?"

Suddenly, the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable slammed his hand on the armrest. The throne, crafted from some unknown material, let out a deafening ROAR, and the entire space trembled with it.

"Sect Leader, quell your anger." Below, the members of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect fell to their knees as one.

"Quell my anger? By what right do you ask me to quell my anger!" The Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable’s fury only intensified as he vented it wantonly. After a long moment, a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Go investigate! Get to the bottom of this! I want to know who led this siege and destroyed the Land of Ten Thousand Demons’ Inheritance!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

The Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable’s face was stern and pale, his gaze so profound it seemed to pierce through countless obstacles to see into the unknown distance.

’They destroyed the Land of Ten Thousand Demons’ Inheritance and ruined the two-thousand-year foundation of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Even if a Grandmaster were responsible, I will make them pay the price!’

...

Gu Qingchan stood quietly by the window, a graceful figure in a pale blue dress. The hem swayed gently with her every movement, elegant and captivating, like ripples spreading across the surface of the water.

Her gaze passed through the window lattice to the bright moon outside, her eyes betraying a hint of pensive thought. A gentle night breeze carried a touch of chill, but it did not disturb her in the least.

In the quiet of the night, Gu Qingchan was like a beautiful, gentle painting. Moonlight filtered through the clouds, bathing her in its soft glow and lending her an otherworldly air. In the moonlight, her figure seemed exceptionally soft and serene.

An unknown amount of time passed before Gu Qingchan slowly returned from her deep reverie, as if waking from a long dream. She blinked gently, and with a sway of her dress, she moved away from the window.

Her mind drifted back to a recent conversation with Gu Haoqing.

"Qing Chan, I heard the battle was perilous. Even Situ Ba fell at Sanqi Mountain. Are you alright?"

"Second Uncle, the battle was indeed dangerous..."

"As long as you’re unharmed! I also heard Chen Ping’an was there. How did he perform? Did he achieve anything of merit?"

"In the siege of Sanqi Mountain, Chen Ping’an’s performance was exceptional, and he earned significant merits. Furthermore, he is a man of overflowing talent. In a moment of life and death, he had a sudden epiphany and broke through mid-battle, greatly increasing his combat strength. He should be able to earn a place on the Dragon and Tiger Chart."

"A breakthrough mid-battle!? Truly!? This Chen Ping’an is truly one blessed by fortune! If that’s the case, with his Dragon and Tiger Chart-level combat power, combined with the great merits from this siege, the Xue Family will be left with no recourse! The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Li Yang Town Guard Office can belong to no one but Chen Ping’an!"

"..."

’Blessed by fortune?’ Recalling Gu Haoqing’s words, Gu Qingchan’s gaze turned cold as she muttered to herself, "If there truly is such a thing as fortune and Celestial Mandate in this world, then...

...the Celestial Mandate should be mine! Chen Ping’an is not even close to being my equal!"

’During the siege, I almost met a terrible fate, nearly falling into a state of irredeemable peril. But the world is unpredictable. By a twist of fate, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Through this ordeal, not only did I meet the man destined for me, but I also discovered the path to Perfection in my cultivation of the Profound Lady Heart Method.’

’The Profound Lady Heart Method uses the will of the Profound Lady to achieve self-realization and thus attain the Great Dao—that was the method of cultivation I had understood before. Despite my peerless talent, and though I made some progress, my cultivation was agonizingly slow.’

’But now, I have found a new way. By channeling my affections, I can enter the Dao through emotion. When the Profound Lady is stirred by feeling, I can command my energy with emotion, and with that energy, I can focus my spirit. The moment I tried, my progress became as swift as a thousand miles in a day—far faster than ever before. If I can maintain this pace, even though I’ve only just broken through, it won’t be long before I achieve Ascension to the Realm of Grandmaster!’

’One day, if I can obtain the Nine Heavens Profound Lady True Scroll, find my destined one to blend yin and yang in Life and Spirit Cultivation, I will surely forge a magnificent Great Dao for myself.’

’At that time, even the realm beyond Grandmaster... will be within my reach!’

Gu Qingchan lowered her head and pressed a hand to her heart, an affectionate longing on her face.

’This feeling... It is for love, but it is also for the Dao!’
