I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 936 - 450

Behind him, the female demon’s voice was not to be deceived.

Disaster!

Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and even with all his cunning, he didn’t know how to respond.

"The words of demons, heavenly maiden cannot lightly believe, the junior holds the senior in utmost respect, with absolutely no intent to desecrate."

As a disciple of the Goddess in the Central Imperial Temple, Xu Qing knew better than anyone the consequences of disrespecting the sacred.

No matter if the phoenix crown and wedding robe were bridal attire, his attitude must remain proper.

As for the fact that he had worn the bridal attire...

Besides Xuan Yu and Shiyue, no one else knew, and the heavenly maiden couldn’t leave the Ancient Yin River Dao to meet them. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Moreover, bridal attire generally looked similar throughout the realm, and neither Xuan Yu nor Shiyue dared to confirm that it was indeed Xu Qing’s clothing.

With no living witness, having just silenced the General, Xu Qing regained his confidence.

The female demon looked Xu Qing up and down, this junior wearing her celestial robe did not seem one to offend the divine.

But why had the General spoken such words...

The female demon furrowed her brows, just about to ask more when suddenly the Ancient Yin River Dao trembled.

The sound of a dam breaking was like thunder rolling, and Xu Qing followed the female demon’s gaze upward, seeing the Sanzu River’s waters flow backward, like ten thousand galloping thunderbolts, straight for the heavenly gate!

The heavenly gate, with its golden towers and jade halls, strict and formidable, yet water and fire know no empathy, be it the abode of the upper celestial beings, or the lower realm’s Bright Hall, when beasts of flood come, what cares they for Celestial Emperor or Buddha, or kings and lords?

Xu Qing watched as the heavenly gate opened wide, a black maw of chaos, and the oncoming Sanzu beast, like a marauder heedless of beauty, shattered the celestial warding hands with a resounding boom!

Amidst cries of alarm, the ferocious beast broke through the barrier, crossing over thunderous forbidden grounds, crashing into the heavenly gate!

In mere instants, the celestial palace quaked, treasured lights scattered wildly, dharma artifacts fell.

The Five Virtues and Nine Glories retreated disarrayed from the Great Formation of Heavenly River Stars, countless immortal dharma artifacts plunged into the Sanzu River’s waters.

The Sanzu River waters, containing three poisons and six desires, for immortals and spiritual dharma artifacts, were tantamount to toxic waters.

Kunlun Hill possessed the Weak Water of Three Thousand, whose waters cannot float a feather, impassable even to immortals, able to drown gods and spirits.

The Sanzu River’s water even more so, icy cold yet soul-burning, ordinary immortal beings would find their true essence sullied, only through reincarnation could it be cleansed.

If an immortal artifact touched it, its spiritual light would instantly be sealed, turning into a drifting duckweed.

Xu Qing cast his eyes, seeing dharma artifacts and celestial implements adrift in the Sanzu River, whether jade scepters, violet swords, or soul-capturing mirrors...

Zombie Xu, coming from the lower realm, had never seen such chaos!

Golden lights and violet mists before him interwoven, each ownerless celestial treasure like a widow without her husband, evoking sympathy.

Each one was a celestial medium-quality treasure, even the lowest looked to be of earth rarity high grade...

Compared to ignorant-of-the-world Xu Qing, the female demon was extraordinarily calm.

During her previous residence in the celestial Palace of Xuanxiao, what dharma treasures had she not seen?

These objects falling into the Sanzu River might be precious to other celestial beings, but for the female demon accustomed to self-reliance, they were truly not important.

"Ultimately, you shall follow me in cultivating the Kui Ba’s path; these dharma artifacts hold little use for us, you need not overly rely on them."

"If you fancy, on the day you achieve the fruition of Kui Ba, I shall gift you the divine sword I once wielded."

The female demon spoke effortlessly, yet in Xu Qing’s ears, there was a strange sense of dependency and reliance.

In the Jin Sect, reliance was akin to living off of someone else’s means.

Wearing the female demon’s clothes, holding her house keys, and using her divine sword, could Xu Qing be such a spineless man?

Xu Qing resolutely refused!

The female demon cast a glance at the young man brazenly wearing her celestial robe, yet didn’t believe his words of restraint at all.

At this moment, the Sanzu River had surpassed Thunder Pool, bursting through the heavenly gate, continuing its upper realm incursion, sweeping through celestial towers and platforms as it went.

In recent years, apart from that rogue stable boy disrupting the celestial palace, when had such turmoil been seen?

For a time, celestial maidens fled in fright, divine generals lost their composure.

In the golden palaces among the clouds, the Celestial Emperor was moved.

"Your Majesty, this failure of the Sanzu River impacts the celestial path, with the heavenly gate now open, the waters of three poisons are now engulfing the celestial palace!"

The great deity of Sea Assembly, who had rushed back from the heavenly gate, likewise reported:

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Sanzu River breaching the heavenly gate and engulfing the celestial palace is not yet critical, I oversee the fairies of the five camps, supervising the ten realm regions, and have found that near the Central Imperial Temple below, the ancient site where the Goddess once repaired the heavens is now affected by this disaster, fortunately, Spiritual Light has descended to temporarily avert the calamity of heaven’s collapse, but the Spiritual Light can only delay the scourge, if ever exhausted, the heavens shall surely fall again!"

The great deity of Sea Assembly dared not speak of privately descending to the lower realm using the path of repairing the heavens, yet he had to avoid suspicion: for who rightly would idly wander to the remote site of celestial repairs, watching its changes?

As for the safety of the celestial repair site...

Only the Goddess of such holiness could handle celestial repairs, and if the site truly faced issues, even if the Gods and Buddhas all knew, there was no solving it.

Unable to act from all sides, better to place faith in the Goddess.

Now, with the great deity of Sea Assembly suddenly mentioning changes in the celestial repair site, and stressing his oversight of the ten realm regions, the divine assembly simply took it as him dutifully fulfilling responsibilities, even noticing what the other Gods might overlook.

Above, the Great Celestial Venerable Xuanqiong paused for a moment, then said deeply:
