'I was too arrogant.'
A young boy, dirty and ragged, sat near the edge of one of the four paths leading to Jade Pyre Sect. It was one of the more reputable large sects. The beginning of refinement convention not only attracted a sea of excited gu masters and concealed gu immortals, but also thousands of beggars of different kinds. After all, Jade Pyre Sect was surrounded by a few cities. These establishments boasted a close connection and developed the surrounding regions.
Trade between the sect and these few cities was easier. Meanwhile, the sect and city fairs would be held every other year to attract distant gu masters to commence trade.
The development of the surrounding land marked clear perimeters for resource points that were too dangerous to traverse by a mortal and protected roads crossed by the masses. Even beggars without any strength could journey on such roads. They surrounded the sect, begging for the scraps.
The disciples would have already driven them away. However, Refinement Path Convention was a gathering of experts. Instances of painful experiences in history indicated many of these crouching tigers and hidden dragons lived eccentric lives. There were countless tales of arrogant sects offending some experts living as beggars, the latter of which tried to give up all mortal possessions in pursuit of the dao, only to leave such arrogant organizations with near-fatal lessons.
Among these beggars was that youth.
He cast the tall cliffs an envious look.
'My Blood Pot Sect was also a large sect. I could contend with experts and carve out a space for my ambitions. But I was too foolish. Sure, there were super forces above my sect, but they never bothered to harm me. At that time, I was angry. Their negligence stung my ego. The truth, however, is more complicated.'
'How could any righteous force allow the existence of a demonic sect? I infringed on their very ideology. But these super forces did not move at all. Or rather, their movement was simply beyond my understanding.'
'That Wisdom Carriage Master… Jiu Loong Long was actually an elder from Wind Cloud Manor. Just one person was enough to completely destroy me and my foundation.'
News traveled fast for certain people. Others were not wary of beggars. The youth heard many tales and secrets. He already came across a few gu masters from the ten ancient sects traveling outside to complete a few missions.
Jiu Loong Long…
Reincarnation Battlefield…
Gu Yue Lo Jik…
And the Legendary Love Gu!
Spirit Affinity House couldn't conceal Love Gu Worm's acknowledgement even if they wanted to. It was too public. Not only gu immortals, but many disciples also saw the scene of Lo Jik effortlessly neutralizing several gu immortals' attacks through Love Gu.
There were already rumors about Spirit Affinity House's next fairy being Gu Yue Lo Jik.
'They harmed me!' The boy gnashed his teeth. 'They all harmed me!'
Lo Jik was already a legendary figure among all the disciples of the ten ancient sects. His past, at least, his previous identity as Bai Shou was not a mystery!
This was the price of reputation.
Lo Jik didn't even know about the hatred in this boy, but nonetheless, he was already exposed to others' hatred.
'I should have listened to his words.'
At the end, Yin-Yin… Sect Leader Ron, was filled with bitterness.
'Blood Path is amazing, but it is heavily persecuted. I thought I could change things with my own two fists. Sigh. I was simply too arrogant.'
He was already a rank 2 gu master. However, his aura was concealed.
'The grotto-heaven's entrance will open after some time. It only opens once a year and takes in gu master fated for its environment. I left it due to a fortuitous encounter. The heavenly spirit did not stop me from leaving but gave me a warning and a few simple suggestions.'
Ron was not a gu master bred and nurtured in Central Continent. He was from a hidden grotto-heaven.
Rank 6 and 7 gu immortals gained blessed lands and left land spirits after their deaths.
Similarly, rank 8 and 9 gu immortals nurtured grotto-heavens and left heavenly spirit after their deaths.
Ron already knew many things about grotto-heavens.
'I need support. Blood path is the quickest route to boundless strength. How can I give it up? I was allowed to create a large sect. While I was forced to retreat by Wisdom Carriage Master, he must have collected all my hard work and devoted it to Wind Cloud Manor. Hmph! Those righteous path hypocrites. They wanted me to waste my time and effort in researching blood path, obtaining everything save for my true inheritance in one fell swoop.'
He felt cold and dejected. But how could a well-known member of the demonic path be an individual of deep virtue?
Sect Leader Ron exploited his surroundings. He snatched beautiful women from their homes after slaughtering their families. He was a sadist, using his gu worms to turn these women into his puppets and venting untold humiliation on their bodies.
He killed as easily as he breathed. Most mortal human's blood wasn't fit for refinement but many blood path gu worms needed human blood for consumption. Even if only a rank 5 gu master, he massacred countless beings for his own strength and selfishness.
In terms of hypocrisy, Sect Leader Ron surpassed most righteous leaders.
Even now, Ron had yet to give up on his demonic ambitions. Inside his aperture was merely one rank 2 gu worm, which he refined painstakingly. It was a blood path gu worm with concealment ability, allowing the youth to hide inside the beggar group.
Nobody paid attention to him as he collected information.
'Strange. Very strange. There were rumors about Red Rock City Lord's daughter joining the convention through Jade Pyre Sect. Sigh, it seems that information was unreliable.'
Why did he want to encounter a city lord's daughter?
Well, she was a pampered young mistress. Her talent in gu master path was less than ordinary. However, her blood was special. Just like how there were mortals with innate strength or intelligence, she was born with blood inside her body that released an awful stench once exposed to the elements. Ron had once noticed this trait while traveling through Central Continent in search of a reasonably safe location to establish the first mortal demonic sect.
Unlike other demonic sects, who often hide themselves deeply as members of the righteous path, Ron wanted to change things!
He also paid the appropriate price.
Regardless of the past, back then, Ron didn't care about the young mistress' blood. He also did not want to engage in a conflict with the city lord.
With the loss of his strength, Ron could use that woman's blood as an excellent supplementary material to refine another convenient rank 2 gu worm.
'Alas… if I were truly fortunate, I could have inherited the entire grotto-heaven. Unfortunately, nobody even knows about the requirement of inheriting that land of fortune.'
He watched several gu masters descend from the plateau. A wave of disappointment spread with their steady dispersion.
'Sigh… I couldn't even complete the four basic tasks.'
A hooded figure slowly stepped away from the hidden Ron's gaze.
'My foundation in cultivation is too flimsy. I might have rank 5 battle strength and a complete wisdom path inheritance, but there is much more to gu cultivation than that. The best summary to describe a gu master's cultivation is—Use, nurture, and refinement. All three topics are incomparably vast.'
'Furthermore, entering Central Continent crippled my gu worms. I still haven't managed to collect all the materials to recover my peak combat strength. In this department, super forces and the righteous path, as a whole, is superior to lone and demonic forces. I once used Tie Clan's connections to make significant progress in my cultivation.'
'I refined a few gu worms over the years, but they were all wisdom path gu worms. Even then, I failed several times.'
'As for this convention? I wasn't even able to practice the four entry tasks and was forced to drift across the land like a vagabond.'
He was humbled.
'Compared to me, Lu Zuan Feng's foundation in refinement path is sturdier. His master is a gu immortal. My only advantage over him is this wisdom path inheritance.'
Just as the dark-robed figure was about to leave, he noticed something unusual.
*Bang*
Wang Nu's body shuddered as she was forced back. Being a rank 4 gu master in the main continent usually elicited a wave of caution from everyone. Rank 1 gu masters were starting their journey. Rank 2 gu masters were the primary task force in any organization. Rank 3 gu masters were successfully nurtured elites. They were elders in small to mid-sized organizations and held enough strength to barely roam freely through the continent. Rank 4 gu masters were elites among elites. They were leaders of such forces and could explore the continent to seek fortuitous encounters.
Nurturing a large number of rank 4 gu masters like Wang Nu was not a challenge for a super force, much less a behemoth known as Spirit Affinity House. There were even several rank 5 gu masters!
Rank 5 gu masters stood at the peak of the mortal realm, their gazes bearing down on all gu masters persevering and cultivating bitterly to reach this peak. At this stage, rank 5 gu masters controlled large-sized forces with ease. Yet, they turned around on their heels and pinned their ambitions onto the foot of a grander mountain, a mountain beyond the peak of mortality they currently resided upon!
Wang Nu wouldn't ordinarily be held back by many things. She was an inner sect disciple and passed certain strict requirements to gain such a position in an ancient sect. Her skills were far above her peers, and her gu set was also largely without any obvious gaps.
*Bang*
She was pushed back again, the towering wooden shield filling her vision before slamming against the frosted lotus petal aimed at the shield.
*Bang*
Wang Nu's defenses shattered. Her gu worm was injured. Pale and frightened, Wang Nu bit the bottom of her lips with extreme reluctance as she noticed the ruthless wooden shield slamming down on her.
Her movement gu worm was already injured due to the trap set by the opponent. Meanwhile, her healing gu worm was surprisingly snatched!
As for her offensive gu worm?
There was simply no hope!
Wang Nu's opponent was a rank 5 gu master!
Not only that, but her opponent was also cut above the rest. Most rank 5 gu masters searched for rank 5 gu worms their entire lives. The difficulty in obtaining a rank 5 gu worm that suited one's cultivation was even higher. Her opponent, however, did not lack a set of proper gu worms, which included three rank 5 gu worms.
"Hehe! You put up a good fight, little girl. It's about time you were fed to my gu."
The opponent's ruthless words were like sharp daggers piercing through Wang Nu's body. Her heart sank into deeper despair. Even now, she could not see her opponent. It appeared that the latter melted with the environment. One of the surrounding bamboo shoots would release the opponent's voice.
"Eh?!"
The wooden shield stopped inches away from Wang Nu, who now happened to realize that she was paralyzed! Despite possessing a decent gu set and skills, Wang Nu lacked real-life combat experience. Some things could only be learned from living one's life itself. Wang Nu vowed to invest in better investigative gu worm to neutralize hidden poisons and traps set by malicious parties if she survived this encounter.
"Who are you? Show yourself!"
The hidden enemy's voice echoed throughout the bamboo forest. But why would anyone listen to the hidden enemy.
A shocked gasp echoed from a distant patch of grass as a shadowy figure leapt out from nowhere, running away.
"No!"
He screamed, his voice filled with fear as a 'specter' emerged from the man's body. Suddenly, the previous shadow fell, unable to display his previous speed. Said specter turned and waved his hand, impaling the fallen opponent with countless sharp wooden stakes.
"What do we do with her?"
The specter turned human. The man glanced at the shaken Wang Nu before looking past her. Only now did Wang Nu shudder, realizing the fact she was caught between another party's trap. The figure standing before her was also a rank 5 gu master, just like the one looming over her from the back.
Wang Nu's throat turned dry. She slowly turned back, gazing at the hooded figure.
"S-Senior?"
She gasped.
"Senior?" The rank 5 gu master capable of turning into a phantom-like specter blinked, calling out with slight amusement in his voice.
Meanwhile, the hooded figure standing before Wang Nu was the same man who stopped her from tripping down due to a heat stroke.
"Let's go."
He moved past Wang Nu as the other rank 5 gu master also shrugged in response.
'I actually met him again. I wanted to build a connection with him after the first task but didn't find him at all. To think we would meet again in such a situation…'
Wang Nu gritted her teeth and stood up. She was still slightly injured, but her needs and ambitions forced subsequent steps out of her, each one more hurried than the last. Sharp pain shot up her body, almost snatching a groan from her lips.
However, she bit her bottom lip and followed the two figures until they stopped and glanced at each other.
"Seniors!"
Wang Nu hurriedly called out, her gaze sharpening with a scheme.
"I understand you two were already planned to loot the bastard who tried attacking me. Please, hear me out. What can lone gu masters offer? Nothing! However, I am different. My name is Wang Nu, and I am Spirit Affinity House's inner disciple. We can be of great assistance to each other!"
"What do you think?" Lu Zuan Feng transmitted to his partner.
"It won't hurt to hear her out," replied Fang Zheng's plain voice. "But this could also be a trap. We just attacked someone during a refinement path convention. Ordinarily, nobody would dare cause a commotion within the venue itself. This event simply has too much attention. Perhaps we struck a nerve with the first act itself."
"I don't think the ten ancient sects would send one rank 4 inner disciple after us if we struck a nerve," Lu Zuan Feng retorted. "On the other hand, if she is really from an ancient sect, we can try snatching her gu worms, too. Our efficiency in this matter would have been too low if not for the two of us joining hands. Your wisdom path inheritance has a way to efficiently deal with the enemy gu master's will in the gu worms, and my phantom path inheritance can target the apertures itself."
"Dealing with ancient sects is…" Fang Zheng hesitated. These super forces were on the same level as the super clans in Southern Border. They already offended the Shang Clan and were forced to escape Southern Border.
"Whether you like it or not, we should get a foot into these matters," Lu Zuan Feng spoke after a moment. "That… that Gu Yue Lo Jik is already a gu immortal seed in Spirit Affinity House. What do you think? Would he help us? You two were from the same clan."
Fang Zheng fell silent.
Lo Jik… Fang Yuan…
These two names once haunted the young Fang Zheng. However, in a twist of fate, Fang Zheng made up with his elder twin only for the entire Qing Mao Mountain to be besieged by an elder from the Immortal Crane Sect. But his encounters didn't end here. They each enjoyed several different fortuitous encounters only for Fang Zheng to suffer a short-lived reunion with his elder twin, where the former saw the latter's death in a strange node from a secluded domain of heaven and earth—River of Time.
Here, in Central Continent, Fang Zheng fell into a similar situation.
"It might be the fortune we were trying to seek all along." Lu Zuan Feng added once he noticed Fang Zheng's hesitation. "We're from Southern Border. Bloodline holds a greater importance to us."
"Lo Jik cannot be trusted." Fang Zheng noted after some consideration. His gaze returned to its previous indifference. "But that doesn't mean we cannot try and contact him."
The duo turned around, glancing at Wang Nu. Even though they wanted to make use of her, they weren't stupid enough to expose the truth and give Wang Nu any leverage.
'Lo Jik, huh…' Fang Zheng thinned his lips. 'Has he changed after arriving in Central Continent? Or is he still the same man? Lecherous and provocative.'
<<<>>>
'Provocative junior, hmph!' Bai La scoffed internally, her eyes not far from the pleasantly curved and desperately throbbing erection. She stood slightly below Lo Jik's chest and wouldn't need to bend a lot to bring her face to his cock. However, such a station wouldn't suit Bai La at all. She wanted Lo Jik on his knees. A trained junior of his talent might just be the investment she needed to topple a despicable Feng Jiu Ge.
The state of her surroundings didn't hold much weight on Bai La's senses. A bedroom and a gu refinement chamber meant the same to her in the grand scheme of things, and starting this disciple's training here meant being efficient.
'But he let me win.' The woman was far from being deluded into believing Lo Jik just happened to lose his concentration right at the end. Yet, the results did not annoy or frustrate the gu immortal as much as one might expect. Why'd Bai La look the gift horse in the mouth? She was already sure Lo Jik was not a demonic gu immortal. At the very least, he did not possess any demonic or vicious gu worm leveraging sexual acts for power. His lewd antics might be the moments where he was at his sincerest.
'And what? Should I reward him just because he backed off?' Bai La wondered, her smile heavy with derision.
There was no noise around them, allowing the duo to freely hear each other's breathing. Standing close to one another, Bai La felt his anticipation and heat almost envelope her in one go. Despite eliciting some carefully buried emotions and a stream of sensuality she'd hadn't experienced in years, Bai La kept her features in check. Similarly, Lo Jik enjoyed her fragrance.
"Hmm? Isn't it quite weird?" Bai La began, amusement oozing from her soft voice. "I still cannot see anything aside from your torso and legs."
Lo Jik quietly got down on his knees while hearing a satisfied hum from Bai La that all but stated 'That's better.'
"Now, what should we do about this?" Bai La caressed Lo Jik's jaw before reaching down and tapping the pendant around his neck. Her index finger hooked around the chain, tugging it ever so gently. Any expert at Bai La's level after observing Lo Jik for a while would already understand that he might have an information path contract with the mind-fucked heavenly specter residing within the pendant. It was one of his weak points.
Bai La could easily snap the thing off and force Lo Jik to endure a dangerous backlash. Even knowing all this, Lo Jik failed to respond with appropriate fear. Instead, he smirked and inquired.
"The best method I know is helping heal my master's mind and then using a gu worm to regenerate her body."
"And fortunately for me," Bai La replied as she let go of the pendant, her hand catching his chin betwixt her thumb and index finger, her gaze overflowing with predatory intent. "You're not a hired help but my spoils of victory."
"Now, tell me, Disciple Gu Yue Lo Jik. Have you ever used this filthy little mouth of yours for anything other than debauchery?" Bai La questioned while pulling Lo Jik forward. He leaned into her touch and bent his back ever so slightly.
"No, Senior." Lo Jik answered, his hot breath kissing her contracting abdomen, and his gaze fixating on her belly button.
"My, my." Bai La's exhale hitched. "Then you've yet to learn many things."
She stopped cupping his chin and planted her hand on his bald head, mildly annoyed by the lack of grip she would ordinarily enjoy on someone with a full head of hair.
"More pointers?" Lo Jik whispered, his lips nearing her belly button. "I'm lucky to have you, Senior Bai. You keep teaching me new things despite your busy schedule. I… I must make it up to you."
An unquestionable force suddenly pushed Lo Jik down before he could plant a tender peck on the woman's abdomen.
"Indeed, you're a lucky one, lad. Today, I'll teach you how to use that filthy mouth of yours for a greater purpose—to worship your seniors," Bai La spoke as she used a few gu worms to fix Lo Jik in his position. His hands felt locked on his sides, unable to even twitch. His consistently pulsating cock, on the other hand, throbbed even harder. His face now lined with Bai La's damp crotch, her pretty little lips showing all the rights signs of arousal through the mesh of her bow-strapped panties.
'Damn, I did want to pull her close and grab a handful of that stupidly round ass.' Lo Jik felt a trace of remorse at Bai La's antics. However, he wasn't deterred by her show of force.
"Just your mouth." Bai La continued. "Each part of your body must be taught separately."
The woman's smirk grew every bit illicit. Caught by the effects of her gu worms, Lo Jik couldn't look up, but he could imagine her smoldering gaze impatient for some action.
"I pay my respects to Senior Bai in advance for this lesson," Lo Jik whispered before he shifted his chin the slightest bit and pushed his lips against Bai La's soft mounds. He worked efficiently with what he had, the presence of his lips and the warmth of his invasive breath jolting the immortal temptress with a pleased hum.
The recollection of Bai La's footjob from two weeks ago was not something Lo Jik could easily forget. Now was the time for payback, to show what he was made of.
Bai La's fingers pressed into his head under his ministrations. The earlier kisses and worshipping licks shifted to a tender pace.
The noise of his lips smacking against each other, the wetness of Bai La's perfect quim, and the barely restrained yet modest and soft moans escaping Bai La's throat visited the room's earlier silence.
She barely closed her eyes with pleasure in hopes of focusing it all on Lo Jik's mouth when they snapped open. A gasp of shock escaped Bai La not due to any otherworldly pleasure but because of Lo Jik's otherworldly audacity.
He didn't stop despite feeling Bai La's fingers seize with shock. With his teeth catching one side of Bai La's newly—and most likely privately—sewn attire, Lo Jik yanked her panties to the side, gaining a better access to her lower lips. He snatched her lips in one go, sticking his tongue into her tight and soaked little quim.
"Nnnngh…"
Bai La's head rocked back, relief curtaining her features. Making the sect's objectively top talent, something her granddaughter might take an offense with, kneel before her and lick all her kinks out just left the stressed gu immortal breathless. All her tensions melted into her sweet juices, each stroke of his tongue across her century-long untouched bumps and crevices saw her reaching new heights of pleasure with barely any restraint.
Both her hands pulled Lo Jik into her crotch as her knees spread further in a more erotic and inviting position.
Most gu masters and gu immortals alike were no different from ordinary mortals without their gu worms and dao marks refinement on their bodies. Bai La might be stronger than most gu masters, but she had no passive defenses against heightened lust—no walls against that tongue slithering and exploring her depths in sheer worship.
Her thighs twitched more intensely than Lo Jik's painfully erect cock. She bucked her hips against his lips in a wild abandon, with naught a shred of a gu immortal's dignity.
Why should she care about keeping up with the images? Only her pleasure mattered today. Only training Lo Jik to be her most submissive toy mattered today.
She'd tried using her fingers while watching Lo Jik and his lovers go at it for hours for too long. The stimulation of fingers and envy of seeing mortals living in such passion didn't come close to have Shu Zhe's and Qin Juan's slutty husband lick and kiss her throbbing entrance. His grunts and exhales struck her rock-hard clit as Bai La further pushed her entrance into his face.
"Oh… hnnngh~!!"
Bai La's back arched as her lips twisted into a somewhat foolish smile. Who cared? Lo Jik couldn't see her either way. Her thighs clamped his cheeks as she climaxed on his face.
"Take it—"
She felt Lo Jik lap it all up like a good little boytoy even before she could finish her instructions.
Good boy.
Bai La licked her lips.
But this wasn't enough. Lo Jik was still himself. He was enjoying being used! Even if the prospects of her objective were dubious, Bai La still needed to try achieving her goals—to break and turn him into her perfected tool. How else could she reach her current achievements without such a firm will… even if she drooled foolishly and smeared Lo Jik's face with her juices?
Bai La pulled back as a satisfied hum vibrated through her throat.
"Did you learn something, lad?" She questioned him illicitly, observing the haze covering Lo Jik's gaze before he came to be. His cock twitched in response, a globule of pre-cum moistening his tip. He looked up, looking positively disheveled despite any lack of facial hair. Strings of her climax stained his lips, sliding down to his chin before dripping down in heavy drops. The scent of their sex already invaded their surroundings.
That lurid haze slowly vanished as his brown pupils sparkled with untamable mischief. His position was entirely submissive. The hunch of his shoulders made him appear smaller than usual. His cock kept throbbing with thirst and need, all but begging her touch.
However…
Lo Jik merely licked his stained lips, smirking at her question.
"Not yet," he cooed, raising his chin in dismissive provocation. His tone annoyingly reserved. "I've not learned any lessons, Senior Bai."
Bai La's gaze shimmered in response as the familiar unquestionable force pushed Lo Jik against the ground. He lay helpless, the invisible restraint causing his erection to throb even harder. He couldn't help but look up as Bai La stood over him, her seductive feet flanking the sides of his face as her curvaceous hips and thick thighs covered his vision.
It was clear that Lo Jik's lessons hadn't concluded just yet as the bottom-heavy grandmother crouched in a tantalizing face until her bottom covered his face.
