Chapter 140: Luo Li Was Infuriated Again
"The Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record is one of the sect's three supreme scriptures. It is a dual cultivation art between man and woman that can transform their physiques into the Yin-Yang Chaos Body, granting them limitless potential."
"Because of this, although the Star Temple never explicitly decrees that the Divine Son and Divine Maiden must become Dao Companions, if they cannot, they will be unable to cultivate the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record—and thus unfit to hold the titles of Divine Son and Divine Maiden."
Gu Qing explained calmly.
"Is that true? Our Star Temple actually possesses such an unparalleled divine art?"
After hearing Gu Qing's explanation, Luo Li's heart trembled violently. Her expression was filled with shock and excitement.
She might not care for other divine-level techniques, but the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record was something she desired intensely.
After all, the Yin-Yang Chaos Body represented the supreme Dao. Who would not wish to cultivate it?
At last, Luo Li understood why the Divine Son and Divine Maiden held such exalted status.
Such treatment was comparable to that of the ancestral patriarchs—it was all to nurture beings of ultimate power.
Even after ascension to the Immortal Realm, they would enjoy extraordinary standing.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart burned with excitement.
If her Divine Phoenix Immortal Body could fuse with the Yin-Yang Chaos Source, would she not become invincible beneath the heavens?
Yet soon, that fiery thought was doused like a bucket of cold water.
Although the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record was heaven-defying, she had long vowed to remain self-reliant—never to be shackled by love or desire.
Men would only hinder her cultivation.
At this moment, Wang Fan and the other followers could no longer care about whether Luo Li wished to marry or not.
All of them were completely entranced by the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record, straining their ears to catch every word.
This was a peerless divine art that could defy fate itself. If they could cultivate it, they would no longer remain followers but become unrivaled prodigies capable of suppressing their era—gaining power, status, and glory beyond imagination.
However, they also understood that since the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record was so heaven-defying, cultivating it would certainly not be easy.
"Of course."
Gu Qing glanced at his system's data. Excellent—within just a few minutes, he had plundered five hundred fortune points.
Wang Fan's mentality could still be exploited further.
Thinking that, Gu Qing turned to Luo Li with a faint smile.
"However, to cultivate the Yin-Yang Chaos Record successfully, the woman must possess the Taiyin Divine Body, while the man is best suited if he has the Solar Divine Body."
"A Pure Yang Sacred Body is also acceptable, though its effect is halved. The process becomes twice as difficult, and failure is highly likely."
He did not mention one fact—that the Starry Cosmos Divine Body required no dual cultivation at all to practice the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record.
Because the creator of the art was precisely a possessor of the Starry Cosmos Divine Body.
That divine body contained the origin power of all stars, including the Taiyin and the Solar.
Hence, it was the most suitable physique to cultivate the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record.
The reason the Star Temple never explicitly required the Divine Son and Divine Maiden to become Dao Companions was, in truth, to leave the throne open for the one bearing the Starry Cosmos Divine Body.
Of course, having a Taiyin Divine Body partner would make cultivating the Yin-Yang Chaos Body far more efficient.
The reason Gu Qing had not cultivated the art in the past was not disinterest, but because the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record's entry threshold was too high—it required at least the King Realm to begin.
The founding ancestor had set this restriction intentionally, to prevent disciples from falling into lust and neglecting their foundational cultivation.
"So, what you mean, Senior Brother, is that only a woman with the Taiyin Divine Body can be crowned as the Divine Maiden?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Li felt torn—both relieved and frustrated.
Relieved because she would not have to become Gu Qing's Dao Companion.
Yet frustrated because such a heaven-defying divine art would forever be beyond her reach. The thought alone was agonizing.
Wang Fan and the others glanced from Gu Qing to Su Qingyue, their eyes brimming with jealousy.
By now, they fully understood—Su Qingyue must possess the Taiyin Divine Body.
They even suspected that Gu Qing might have already achieved the Yin-Yang Chaos Body.
It was an unimaginable stroke of fortune.
A peerless beauty, power, status, and the supreme physique—all had fallen into Gu Qing's hands.
This drove Wang Fan and the others to near madness with envy.
"That's right," Gu Qing nodded.
"Boom!"
Luo Li pressed her red lips together, crushing the teacup into powder as she glared at the silent Su Qingyue. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Damn it, Su Qingyue must have known the conditions for being crowned Divine Maiden, yet she argued with her for half a day without saying a single word about it.
Was she secretly enjoying the show?
"I thought you already knew," Su Qingyue replied sullenly.
Luo Li had come up declaring she was unfit to be Divine Maiden, acting as if the position was hers by right. Who would have thought she didn't even know the qualifications required?
If you didn't know, then what were you arguing for?
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Luo Li's composure completely shatter, her expression furious and flustered, Gu Qing burst into laughter.
"Senior Brother…"
Luo Li was both angry and embarrassed, finally realizing why Gu Qing had been looking at her so oddly.
He had known all along that she couldn't cultivate the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record and couldn't become the Divine Maiden.
Yet he said she could—purely to make fun of her.
"You're insufferable!" Luo Li gritted her teeth and kicked him.
This wasn't the first time Gu Qing had teased her, and every single time it left her fuming.
Utterly infuriating.
"Ahem!"
Gu Qing coughed lightly and stopped laughing. If he kept going, Luo Li might actually explode.
"Hmph!" Luo Li snorted coldly. Still not satisfied, she kicked Gu Qing again, her proud, beautiful face showing a mix of anger and shame.
"Junior Sister, we can talk things out. A gentleman reasons with words, not fists." Gu Qing sighed helplessly. Resorting to kicks wasn't exactly elegant behavior.
"Which of your eyes sees me as a gentleman?" Luo Li shot him a sideways glare.
Gu Qing: …
Fine. He'd pretend he never said anything.
"Your Highness, this subordinate believes there must be another way to cultivate the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record," Wang Fan said through voice transmission.
It wasn't out of kindness—he simply desired the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record too badly.
But given his status, not to mention cultivating it, he didn't even have the right to inquire about it.
If he didn't take this chance to learn something, he would truly lose all hope of ever obtaining it.
As for how he would actually acquire the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record afterward, Wang Fan hadn't thought that far. But he believed that when the time came, things would naturally fall into place.
His luck had always been remarkable.
Countless people had failed to find fragments of rare techniques that he somehow managed to obtain.
Even broken treasures scattered across the land had ended up in his hands.
This time, the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record would be no exception—he was determined to get it.
"Hmm?" Luo Li's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp light flashing within them.
Wang Fan's reminder made her suddenly think of Zhi Meng.
She wasn't sure whether Zhi Meng had slain her Dao Companion after attaining the Yin-Yang Chaos Body or had succeeded in cultivation afterward.
But one thing was certain—the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record was only difficult at the entry stage.
As long as the initial innate requirement was overcome, a man would no longer be necessary.
Otherwise, Zhi Meng would never have killed her Dao Companion.
Realizing this, the fire in Luo Li's heart reignited.
She had truly been blinded by anger earlier, forgetting something so crucial.
Looking at Gu Qing, she lowered her gaze, appearing utterly gentle and obedient.
"Senior Brother, do you know how Master succeeded in cultivating it?"
Gu Qing paused, glancing at her, then at Wang Fan and the others. After a moment of thought, he sent a voice transmission.
"I'm not sure exactly how Master succeeded, but there is indeed another method."
"If one possesses sufficient comprehension and obtains the Taiyin and Solar origins, they too can cultivate the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record."
Those who possessed both Taiyin and Solar origins were usually protagonists of destiny.
If Luo Li went searching, she might find one—but she could just as easily be hunted down by such a protagonist.
Gu Qing awaited the day Luo Li, disheveled and defeated, would return to the Star Temple begging for his help.
Besides, even if Luo Li didn't encounter such a person and managed to acquire the Taiyin and Solar origins, successfully cultivating the Taiyin-Solar Chaos Record, it would not matter much to him.
Gu Qing had the system and countless innate treasures. If he were somehow surpassed by Luo Li despite all that, then he would deserve it.
