Mystical Immortal Gate

Ding!

The host has been attacked by the Star Extreme Immortal King.

Star Extreme Law +10000+10000+10000+......

"Whew! Soaking in the river really boosts the gains!" Gu Qingfeng exclaimed cheerfully as he swam.

"But what exactly does the Star Extreme Law do?"

Gu Qingfeng tried to manipulate the Star Extreme Law within him, only to find it impossible to control—its level was far too high, with too many intermediate layers separating him from mastery.

It was like asking an elementary student to solve problems using calculus. Sure, they might have the textbook, but that didn’t mean they could apply it.

But Gu Qingfeng wasn’t bothered. Having it was better than not having it at all.

After swimming in the starry river for a long while, he finally climbed ashore with satisfaction.

Strangely, not a single drop of the silver river water clung to him. Instead, as he stepped out, it all slid off his body and returned to the river.

This phenomenon intrigued Gu Qingfeng, and suddenly, a bold idea struck him.

If this starry river water was so powerful, why not take some along to use against enemies?

No sooner said than done!

Gu Qingfeng immediately pulled out containers to collect the starry river water. However, the moment any vessel touched the water, it disintegrated into nothingness, as if crushed by an overwhelming force—even the atomic nuclei were obliterated.

"Damn, stingy!"

He gave up on the idea and instead continued his journey with his little flute slave in tow.

Three days later.

The two arrived at the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect.

"Princess Wan’s esteemed presence graces our humble Tai Xuan Immortal Sect, bringing it boundless honor!"

As soon as Shangguan Wan’er stepped into the sect’s territory, the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect’s Supreme Elder, the sect leader, and other high-ranking figures came forward to welcome her.

The Supreme Elder, named Yuan Heng, was an elderly man in dark robes with gray hair and sharp, triangular eyes. Though his face bore an unkind expression, he was exceedingly courteous to Shangguan Wan’er.

"Has the Taiyi Immortal Token I requested been found?" Shangguan Wan’er asked coldly.

Yuan Heng maintained a humble posture, treating her commanding tone as natural—even though Shangguan Wan’er was merely a Loose Immortal, while he himself was a True Immortal.

"Princess, our Tai Xuan Immortal Sect has spared no effort in fulfilling your request. To be frank, the Taiyi Immortal Token was discovered days ago, but we were unable to contact you until now, so..."

As he spoke, Yuan Heng subtly glanced at Gu Qingfeng, who stood nearby, his curiosity piqued.

In fact, all the Tai Xuan disciples present were stealing glances at Gu Qingfeng.

With his striking looks, he stood out like a phoenix among chickens.

"Enough. If it’s been found, why delay? Take me to retrieve it at once," Shangguan Wan’er said, feigning impatience.

"Of course, Princess. Please, ascend the palanquin."

Yuan Heng then casually remarked, "Might this be the trial participant you’ve chosen, Princess?"

Shangguan Wan’er’s eyes flickered, avoiding direct eye contact with Gu Qingfeng. "Yes. Why do you ask? Hurry up and lead the way."

"Forgive my presumption, Princess. I merely wished to offer advice. I sense the aura of the lower realm on this young man—likely an ascendant.

Ascendants lack knowledge of immortal techniques. Even if they excel in the lower realm, they are far inferior to cultivators of the upper realm.

Our Tai Xuan Immortal Sect has a disciple named Yin Xiao, trained since childhood within the sect. He is now a Supreme Path cultivator, one step away from attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal. His combat prowess is unmatched among non-immortals. Perhaps—"

"No need for your concern, Supreme Elder Yuan Heng. I have my own plans," Shangguan Wan’er quickly interjected, afraid of displeasing Gu Qingfeng.

Yuan Heng pressed a little more, but seeing Shangguan Wan’er’s unwavering stance and her frequent glances at Gu Qingfeng, he began to form his own conclusions.

Likely a kept man.

Casually, Yuan Heng then asked, "By the way, where is Elder Yan? Some time ago, I had the privilege of discussing the Dao with him and gained much insight. I’ve been longing to hear his teachings again."

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but admire Yuan Heng’s tact. Despite being a True Immortal like Elder Yan, he framed his words as if seeking guidance, lowering his own status.

At the mention of Elder Yan, Shangguan Wan’er hesitated, instinctively looking at Gu Qingfeng. She couldn’t very well say Elder Yan had been drained dry by her master, could she?

"Elder Yan is occupied with urgent matters and won’t be returning for some time."

The words "won’t be returning" flashed a barely perceptible glint in Yuan Heng’s aged, murky eyes.

He dropped the topic and instead began introducing the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect—a vast territory spanning millions of miles.

As they conversed, they soon arrived at the sect’s main grounds.

To avoid raising suspicions, Shangguan Wan’er leaned into her spoiled princess persona, ignoring pleasantries and dragging Gu Qingfeng straight to her quarters.

This all but confirmed Gu Qingfeng’s status as her kept man in the eyes of others.

Inside the room.

Shangguan Wan’er set up a soundproofing array before dropping to her knees, trembling. "Master, please forgive this lowly servant for daring to overstep earlier."

Gu Qingfeng replied indifferently, "It’s fine. This was my instruction."

To avoid drawing attention, Gu Qingfeng had disguised himself as Shangguan Wan’er’s trial participant.

Relieved that her master wasn’t angry, Shangguan Wan’er let out a quiet sigh—proof of how thoroughly she’d been conditioned.

"But while the death penalty is waived, living punishment remains. You shall be penalized by..."

"Yes… yes… Master."

Just as a certain melody was about to begin, a knock interrupted.

Gu Qingfeng frowned. He hated interruptions during his flute performances.

A magnetic male voice came from outside. "Princess Wan’er, I am Yin Xiao, a direct disciple of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect’s Supreme Elder. I’ve come to pay my respects."

"Not interested!"

Yin Xiao was taken aback.

"Princess, I came to offer my assistance. I heard you’ve chosen a lower realm ascendant as your trial participant. Having lived in the immortal palaces all your life, you may not be aware—those from the lower realms are crude and weak. I fear they might jeopardize your plans. Thus, I humbly volunteer to serve you in their stead."

"No need… I have my own… arrangements."

Yin Xiao was stunned. He hadn’t expected the lofty princess to have such a voracious side—it made her seem unexpectedly charming.

This only fueled his ambition. Though he was a prodigy of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect, destined for immortality, all his achievements paled in comparison to the status of a princess from the Feather Transformation Immortal Dynasty. The difference between the lower and middle realms was like heaven and earth—they were worlds apart.

Under normal circumstances, their paths would never cross.

But by sheer luck, Princess Wan’er had taken an interest in the Taiyi Secret Realm. What a rare opportunity!

If he could assist her in conquering the secret realm and emerge victorious, perhaps he’d earn her favor. And if she took a liking to him… wouldn’t that be his ticket to soaring heights?
