The Toiling Ya Fei, Gu Shenge Comprehends the Taishang!

During the dual cultivation process with Ya Fei, Gu Shenge found that practicing the Tai Shang Induction Technique was as if he had divine assistance. He entered a profound state, emptying his mind and beginning to sense the Tai Shang that existed in the ethereal void.

From daytime until late into the night, the dual cultivation session slowly came to an end.

On the bed, Ya Fei lay on one side, fast asleep, while Gu Shenge sat cross-legged. His body was bathed in a faint, glowing light of pristine white, and his figure became somewhat ethereal and illusory, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

In a hazy state, Gu Shenge's consciousness seemed to drift through an endless tunnel. In the far distance, there was a flickering light—faint and remote, resembling the light of chaos, a primordial object born at the dawn of the world.

His consciousness was drawn toward it, gradually approaching the light and plunging into the chaotic realm where it resided. Immediately, an indescribable and peculiar sensation was born, as if he were transcending all things and gaining control over the entire world.

I do not know how much time passed, but Gu Shenge slowly opened his eyes. His aura had changed; it was more obscure and unfathomable, yet it possessed a profound quality that seemed to stand above the world itself.

As a gift for sensing the Tai Shang, a trace of a peculiar power, distinct from Dou Qi, had emerged within his body.

Tai Shang Power!

Compared to Dou Qi, the Tai Shang Power was far more magnificent and vast, as if it originated from the entire heaven and earth, the entire plane, giving Gu Shenge the illusion that the world itself was lending him its strength.

Lin Dong had only managed to practice the Tai Shang Induction Technique with the help of Ling Qingzhu, thereby sensing the true form of the Tai Shang: the Plane Embryo.

Although Gu Shenge had sensed the Tai Shang after only a single session of dual cultivation—and the connection was extremely shallow, almost non-existent—it was nonetheless a good start.

As long as he cultivated diligently, continued to sense the Tai Shang, and eventually mastered the Plane Embryo, he could become the Master of the Plane of the Dou Qi Continent—a feat that even Xiao Yan had not achieved after becoming a Dou Di.

Relying solely on this sliver of Tai Shang Power, he could easily suppress a Dou Emperor without even using his Dou Qi.

Gu Shenge looked at Ya Fei, who had been working hard all day, and a look of tenderness appeared in his eyes. She had truly worked hard for him. He then pulled her into his arms and fell asleep.

The next day.

Ya Fei rose early to arrange matters at the Miteer Auction House. She announced that she would be leaving Wutan City for a period of time, and during her absence, Master Gu Ni would be responsible for the affairs of Wutan City.

Inside the villa, Ya Fei wore a slightly tight-fitting red cheongsam with a rose pattern, which tightly outlined her plump and proud figure, showcasing her stunning curves, snow-white neck, and willow waist. She was breathtakingly beautiful as she nestled in Gu Shenge's arms, whispering softly.

"Palace Master, everything has been arranged."

Gu Shenge held Ya Fei's slender waist, pulling her close. Three wooden boxes appeared in his hand, which he handed to the charming beauty.

"These three boxes each contain a pill: the Po E Pill, the Fu Ling Zi Pill, and the Top-Grade Dou Ling Pill."

"The Po E Pill is a Tier 6 low-grade pill capable of breaking most seals, while the Fu Ling Zi Pill is a top-tier Tier 5 pill that can help those whose cultivation has regressed due to a seal return to their peak."

"Take these two pills to the Tagor Desert and find a map shop called [Gu Tu]. Give them to the shop owner. That man is Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, one of the top ten experts of the Jia Ma Empire from the previous generation. He is also a member of the Mite'er Family, but because he offended Queen Medusa over a decade ago, she used a Snake Seal to suppress his cultivation."

"If you help Hai Bodong break the seal and return to his peak state, he will naturally help you become the head of the Mite'er Family in return for this favor."

"As for this Top-Grade Dou Ling Pill, it is for you to consume; it can raise your cultivation by two stars in a short period."

Gu Shenge did not have the time to accompany Ya Fei to the Jia Ma Holy City to help her take control of the Mite'er Family, so he let her find Hai Bodong herself.

Given Hai Bodong's personality, since Ya Fei would be doing him such a huge favor—and she was a member of the Mite'er Family to begin with—him helping her become the family head would naturally be no problem.

As for the remnant map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Gu Shenge was not interested. The complete map could be bought in the [System Store], so why bother with a fragment?

After listening, a look of surprise appeared on Ya Fei's charming face. Who in the Jia Ma Empire hadn't heard of the Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong? She had thought he had long since perished; she never expected such a complicated story behind it.

Indeed, the Palace Master was an outsider after all. If he helped her become the head of the Mite'er Family, it would cause gossip within the family.

If Hai Bodong, an elder of the Mite'er Family, stepped forward, it would be perfectly legitimate.

"Ya Fei understands. Thank you for your guidance, Palace Master."

The charming enchantress nodded obediently and accepted the pills handed to her.

Gu Shenge gently brushed a strand of Ya Fei's hair with his fingertips, his nose twitching as he caught her delicate fragrance. He continued to instruct her:

"I need you to take control of the Mite'er Family within a month and spread the word that in four months, an ancient cave dwelling will appear in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It will contain not only a Po Zong Pill and a Heavenly Flame, but also a Nirvana Heart, which is the condensed essence of a Dou Ancestor's lifelong cultivation. Make sure the experts and the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire all gather at the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

He wanted to play a big game. As for the Heavenly Flame, he would just toss in a high-grade beast flame when the time came. It was all just rumors anyway; no one would know if there was truly a Heavenly Flame inside.

"If you handle this well, I will reward you handsomely."

As long as this succeeded, Gu Shenge would reward Ya Fei for three days and three nights.

"Yes, Palace Master." Ya Fei nodded in agreement once more.

Although she didn't know why her Palace Master wanted to release this information, she decided that she would just make sure the Mite'er Family didn't participate. If the experts of the Jia Ma Empire all died in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, her Mite'er Family could become the sole power and eventually control the entire Jia Ma Empire.

"Good girl~"

Gu Shenge gently stroked Ya Fei's delicate face, very satisfied with the sensible obedience of his concubine, and immediately began to reward her.

More than an hour later~

After rewarding Ya Fei, a satisfied Gu Shenge returned to the Xiao family residence, only to see Xiao Yan in the courtyard with a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yan?"

"Brother Juan, you're back."

Upon hearing this and seeing Gu Shenge return, Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy, and he hurried forward to greet him. Inside the house, the little snake beauty heard her young master's voice, pushed open the door, and ran toward Gu Shenge, wiggling her little snake waist.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Gu Shenge opened his arms to hug Qing Lin, a look of slight apology on his face as he spoke softly to the little snake beauty.

"Sorry, Qing Lin. I was cultivating with someone else too late yesterday, so I stayed there."

Qing Lin shook her head. She knew that since her young master hadn't returned home, he must have been busy with something, so she didn't blame him.

However, the little beauty snake caught a whiff of a fragrance on Gu Shenge and a hint of doubt sprouted in her heart. It didn't smell like Sister Medusa's, did it? Who had the young master been cultivating with last night?

When would the young master finally be able to cultivate with her?

"Brother Juan, help me!"

For some reason, Xiao Yan opened his mouth to beg Gu Shenge for help; it seemed he had run into quite a bit of trouble.
