My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 479 - 159: [Second Update]

"Gu Qingqing," Rong Ye looked at Gu Qingqing, for the first time with a troubled face, "This news is just too shocking. I feel like I won’t be able to sleep tonight."

Gu Qingqing looked at the others. Si Lin and the rest nodded as well, clearly thinking the same as Rong Ye.

"Uh," Gu Qingqing paused, "I can’t sleep either," she gave a wry smile, "This news is really not good news."

The ancient catastrophe just barely passed a millennium ago, and now it is about to happen again. To anyone, it’s not good news, let alone Gu Qingqing and the others who possess the Divine Clan’s bloodline, possibly reincarnations of the Divine Clan, making them targets for the Outer Heaven Demon. The danger level is unimaginable.

If she could, she would rather not have known about this.

"We need to inform Master and Immortal Venerable Hao Lan as soon as possible so they can prepare. Otherwise, if the Outer Heaven Demons do return, we may not be able to withstand them!" Upon hearing Gu Qingqing’s words, Yue Zhao immediately started thinking about it in his mind and said directly.

"I think Master and the others might have already sensed something. The demon beasts and Heavenly Demons that shouldn’t have appeared in the Immortal Realm earlier were already a forewarning." Gu Qingqing nodded, agreeing with Yue Zhao’s statement as she spoke.

"Our cultivation level is still too low. We need to quickly raise our cultivation. It’s best if we can reach the Immortal Venerable Realm before the catastrophe, as only then might we stand a chance!" Si Lin also opened up with his analysis.

"True," Gu Qingqing nodded, "But even at the Immortal Venerable Realm, we’re not a match for the Outer Heaven Demons. We must reopen the Divine Realm. This way, we can activate our bloodline and ascend to godhood, giving us a greater chance against the Outer Heaven Demons."

"The road is long!" Nan Hua set aside the fan in his hand and sighed, eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation, "Though this situation is frustrating, if we cannot avoid it, a grand battle against the Outer Heaven Demons would make a life truly worth living!"

"Indeed, though we are not ultimate saints, if sacrificing for the world is what it takes, then so be it!" Rong Ye nodded, brushing away his earlier gloom as his whole demeanor turned vibrant and full of eagerness, unperturbed by the impending hardships.

"In any case, let’s inform our masters first, prepare, and then improve our cultivation, so we won’t hold back in the coming battle!" Yue Zhao curled his lips into a perfect smile and spoke softly.

Si Lin nodded, clearly in agreement with Yue Zhao’s words.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu exchanged a glance, and though they didn’t speak, they understood each other’s intentions.

Realizing the magnitude of the news, Si Lin and the others lost interest in further conversation. They all got up and left, returning to their rooms, while Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, after everyone else left, exchanged another glance, refrained from further exchange, and chose to enter a state of meditation. Sleep was out of the question; it was time to cultivate diligently, given how time was running out!

...

The Secret Realm journey had come to an end, and it was time to return to the sect. Gu Qingqing, Si Lin, and the others followed the Langya Immortal Sect back, while Rong Ye, for once, properly followed Star Sect back to the sect.

The journey there had taken a longer time, but the return was different.

It only took them five or six days to return to Langya Immortal Sect.

Langya Immortal Sect remained unchanged from when they left. After Peak Master Rong returned with them, he spoke a few words and then let them disperse, each heading back on their own.

Instead of returning to her own cave dwelling, Gu Qingqing first went to Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s cave dwelling.

Inside, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan and Wen Guiyun were playing chess, and it was nearing the endgame. When Gu Qingqing arrived, Wen Guiyun had just won against Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, who stood up from his seat, refusing to continue the game with Wen Guiyun.

"Disciple pays respects to the two masters!" Upon entering, Gu Qingqing first greeted and bowed to the two of them.

Before she could kneel down, a gentle force lifted her up. She raised her head to see Immortal Venerable Hao Lan withdrawing his hand.

"Geng Geng, you’ve finally returned," Immortal Venerable Hao Lan looked at Gu Qingqing, unable to help smiling, but upon discovering her cultivation level, he was extremely surprised, "You’re already at the Middle Stage of Daluo True Immortal Realm?"

Wen Guiyun also cast a scrutinizing glance at Gu Qingqing after hearing this, noticing she indeed had reached the Middle Stage of Daluo True Immortal Realm, his eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

Before leaving, Gu Qingqing was just at Low-level Golden Immortal Realm. Under normal cultivation conditions, reaching the Middle Stage of Daluo True Immortal Realm from Low-level Golden Immortal Realm would take several years. Yet, after a single trip to the Secret Realm, Gu Qingqing had emerged with a Middle Stage of Daluo True Immortal Realm cultivation, her cultivation speed seemed almost defyingly fast.

Gu Qingqing was not surprised that her cultivation level had been noticed.

"I was fortunate to have a fortuitous encounter in the Secret Realm. Before me, Ah Wu and a few fellow senior brothers also reached the Middle Stage of Daluo True Immortal Realm." Gu Qingqing smiled faintly, casually dropping another bombshell.

Immortal Venerable Hao Lan and Wen Guiyun were taken aback, their faces displaying a rare expression of astonishment.

"This," Immortal Venerable Hao Lan looked at Gu Qingqing, momentarily speechless, "Your cultivation progress is just too fast!"

Though accustomed to life’s upheavals, he was also somewhat startled by the speed at which their cultivation levels had risen.

"I came specifically to discuss this with my masters." Gu Qingqing glanced around and used her immortal power to set up a sound insulation array, ensuring that no one else would hear their conversation.

Her action took Wen Guiyun and Immortal Venerable Hao Lan by surprise. The two exchanged a glance before focusing their attention on Gu Qingqing.

"What happened? Geng Geng, why are you acting like this?" Wen Guiyun looked at Gu Qingqing and asked.

"Respected masters, in the Secret Realm, I encountered the divine thought of the Secret Realm’s owner, a Divine Officer. I also unlocked part of a seal in the Secret Realm and learned some matters." Gu Qingqing deeply trusted these two, especially since the matters to follow required their cooperation, she did not hide anything.

"What matters?" Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s expression turned serious as he looked at Gu Qingqing, adopting a more solemn demeanor.

"This concerns the entire Immortal Realm," Gu Qingqing wore a serious expression, "A millennium has passed, and the Outer Heaven Demons will make a comeback, bringing catastrophe once more. Shouldn’t the masters prepare early?"

"What?" Immortal Venerable Hao Lan stood up abruptly, looking at Gu Qingqing with tension, "You speak the truth? How did you come to know this?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It’s true, revealed by the divine thought of that Divine Officer, and recorded in the inheritance I unlocked after breaking the seal," Gu Qingqing paused, "Moreover, I have also discovered the identities of me, Ah Wu, and several senior brothers!"
