Gu Shenggge: Supreme Induction Art + Nirvana Heart, so I became "Ling Qingzhu"?

The four-to-five-zhang-long Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was released by Qing Lin from the space within her pupils. Its massive, crimson body radiated intense heat as it coiled around her, shielding her. Its two hideous heads reared up, four giant diamond-shaped snake pupils glaring fiercely at the vendor, filled with bloodlust and savagery as it hissed at him.

"A magical beast has broken into Wutan City! Run!"

"Where are the Xiao family guards! Why haven't they come to eliminate this beast yet!"

"Help! Where are the City Lord's soldiers? Where are the people from the Xiao family!"

The surrounding passersby and vendors were terrified by the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, screaming for their lives and fleeing in panic. Even the two Xiao family disciples who had come to help were stunned into silence.

As for the vendor who had tried to swindle Qing Lin, he was so frightened by the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that he wet himself. His limbs turned to jelly, and he knelt on the ground like a dog, trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with terror and dread.

Qing Lin clutched her sleeves, her small face flushed with anger. Her jade-green eyes locked onto the kneeling vendor, the three small green flowers spinning rapidly. They emitted a deep, eerie light that seemed to snatch away souls, appearing truly supernatural.

Just then, a golden streak of sword light suddenly descended beside Qing Lin. A golden robe fluttered as a pair of large hands rested on the little snake-girl's shoulders, and a familiar voice echoed in her ears.

"Don't be afraid, Qing Lin, I'm here."

Gu Shenge's appearance gave Qing Lin an instant sense of reliance. Her previously tense heart relaxed, the eerie light in her eyes fading away. Immediately after, a deep sense of grievance welled up; she turned and hugged Gu Shenge's waist, burying her head in his robes and letting out a soft sob, showing just how terrified she had been.

Gu Shenge looked at the sobbing little snake-girl, raised his hand to gently stroke her head, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry. With Young Master here, I won't let anyone hurt you. Good girl, our Qing Lin is the bravest, don't be afraid."

Hearing her Young Master's comfort, Qing Lin gradually stopped crying, though she still held onto him tightly.

Gu Shenge's gaze then shifted to the vendor kneeling and begging for mercy. His gentle expression turned icy, as cold and piercing as ten-thousand-year black ice. His killing intent surged like a relentless tide; the air temperature plummeted, frost appeared on the ground, and even the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake felt a sense of discomfort, its own high temperature unable to withstand the chill released by Gu Shenge.

The vendor bore the brunt of it, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His entire body turned cold, a thick layer of frost coating him until he was instantly transformed into an ice sculpture.

But that was not enough. Gu Shenge raised his hand, and infinite light of the morning sun bloomed. Countless Rising Sun Sword Qi manifested in the air, forming a river of sword energy that flowed endlessly. Like a golden river from the nine heavens crashing down, it pierced through the vendor, subjecting him to the pain of ten thousand swords piercing his heart and a thousand cuts!

The unscrupulous vendor was obliterated by the sword energy, leaving not even a scrap behind.

Only then did the killing intent in Gu Shenge's eyes slowly dissipate.

Xiao Yan, who had rushed over, happened to witness this scene. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he knew that for Brother Juan to be this angry, the matter must have been very serious.

Seeing the Xiao family disciples nearby, he hurried over to ask if they had seen what transpired.

After understanding the sequence of events, Xiao Yan felt a lingering fear. If Brother Juan hadn't arrived in time, the consequences of Qing Lin being bullied by those people would have been unimaginable.

"Little Yanzi, that little girl possesses the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake guarding her is a Tier 4 magical beast, equivalent to a human Dou Spirit expert. No one in Wutan City is her match."

Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's ear, leaving him stunned. That giant two-headed snake was a Tier 4 magical beast! Well, it seemed he had worried too much.

Gu Shenge had the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake return to the space within Qing Lin's pupils. He wrapped one arm around the little snake-girl's slender, delicate waist and scooped up her legs with the other, carrying her in a princess carry. Golden Dou Qi wings condensed on his back, and he flew toward the Xiao family estate.

Xiao Yan followed quickly, though he knew he had to report this to his father first. Such an incident in the market, regardless of whether the victim was Brother Juan's maid, was a blow to the Xiao family's reputation. The market had to be reorganized to prevent such situations from happening again.

When the City Lord's soldiers and the Xiao family guards arrived, they only saw the street in a mess, with only the two Xiao family disciples remaining.

Xiao family guest courtyard.

Gu Shenge gently placed the sleeping Qing Lin onto the bed. Looking at his little snake-girl's pretty face, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing traces of panic and fear, his eyes filled with pity and affection. He gently stroked her fair, tender cheek and leaned down to whisper softly in her ear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here~"

Hearing this, Qing Lin's furrowed brows gradually smoothed out, and a faint smile appeared on her small face.

Gu Shenge watched Qing Lin tenderly, his eyes full of doting love.

After the little snake-girl fell into a deep sleep, he stood up, sat on a nearby chair, and communicated with the system to use the three Mysterious-grade draws he had obtained.

[Ding~ Draw complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining: 100,000 Origin Points.]

[Ding~ Draw complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining: Blazing Flame Cauldron.]

[Ding~ Draw complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining: Nirvana Heart.]

With 100,000 Origin Points, plus the 50,000 points previously rewarded for taking Ya Fei as a concubine, Gu Shenge now had over 3.76 million Origin Points.

The reason he had so many was that the [System Store] could recycle magical cores and convert them into Origin Points.

He had almost emptied the Snake-People Tribe's century-old accumulation of magical cores. On one hand, they were recycled into Origin Points, and on the other, they were consumed for alchemy.

As for the Blazing Flame Cauldron, it was the twelfth-ranked medicinal cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron List. For an alchemist, besides having a good alchemical flame, a high-quality medicinal cauldron was indispensable.

And the Nirvana Heart—one could guess its origin just by the name, and it was nine times out of ten the same one that had caused Ling Qingzhu so much trouble in Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Thinking of Ling Qingzhu, Gu Shenge thought of the Tai Shang Induction Technique. A plain light appeared in his hand, revealing a jade slip engraved with dense scriptures; it contained the Tai Shang Induction Technique.

The Tai Shang Induction Technique was an extremely unique cultivation method. To practice it, one had to ensure both body and mind remained pure; once they were tainted, the technique would shatter.

In the original story, Ling Qingzhu lost her purity because of Lin Dong, which caused the Tai Shang Induction Technique she had cultivated for years to fall short of completion.

However, besides inheriting this technique at birth, it could also be cultivated through dual cultivation, which was even faster.

The Tai Shang Induction Technique cultivated the Tai Shang Power, or in more common terms, [Heavenly Dao Power] or [Plane Power].

In the original Wu Dong, the source of Tai Shang Power was the Plane Embryo, and controlling the Plane Embryo allowed one to become the Master of the Plane, possessing the power of the entire plane.

In the Great Thousand World, an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection could break through to Heavenly Sovereign by refining a Plane Embryo.

If Gu Shenge cultivated the Tai Shang Induction Technique, he could sense the Plane Embryo of the Dou Qi Continent, thereby controlling it and becoming the Master of the Dou Qi Continent.

However, Gu Shenge realized a very serious problem: with the Tai Shang Induction Technique + Nirvana Heart, did that make him "Ling Qingzhu"?

PS: Regarding the conversion of realms, I still believe the Ancestor Realm is stronger than the Dou Di realm. Beyond the blessing of the Plane Embryo, it is more about the realm, performance, and the comparison of enemies.

Ancestor Realm + Plane Embryo ≈ Quasi-Heavenly Sovereign.

Dou Di = Sovereign.

One cannot simply say that Hun Tiandi and the Alien Demon Emperor are on the same level.
