Gu Sheng was gravely wounded by the Supreme Immortal Sect Master's attack and left vulnerable to the Qiankun Venerate King, who cruelly tormented him and captured his sister Gu Yu. Despite his injuries, Gu Sheng unleashed bursts of strength from his Heavenly Saint Body, knocking Qiankun back repeatedly to protect her. Eager to claim the powerful body, Qiankun convinced his father, the Sect Master, to assist in the seizure, who now advances with a massive hand descending upon the desperate Gu Sheng.

"Only the strong have the right to speak of destiny; the weak are merely stepping stones." Gu Sheng shot a furious glare at the Supreme Immortal Sect Master, yet he found himself unable to counter. In this ruthless world where the fittest survive, the mighty earn worship, and power reigns supreme.

Qiankun Venerate King gazed at the soon-to-be-captured Gu Sheng and burst into victorious laughter.

"Haha, boy, your end is here. With your Heavenly Saint Body in my grasp, I’ll dominate the entire Purple Spirit Realm." Qiankun Venerate King cackled wildly, his maniacal laughs resounding through the Elder Hall, stirring revulsion in all who heard.

Right as the Supreme Immortal Sect Master’s hand neared Gu Sheng, a female voice pierced through time and space, booming aloud.

"Who said his status is inferior?"

All heads swiveled toward the sound, as Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch arrived atop her Golden Phoenix, wielding the Sun True Fire. An overwhelming presence emanated from Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch.

"Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch, what brings you here?" The Supreme Immortal Sect Master spotted Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch, his face shifting subtly with a chill of unease in his chest.

Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch threw a icy look at the Supreme Immortal Sect Master, bypassing his query. Her eyes settled on Gu Sheng, and upon noting his severe wounds, sorrow flickered in her gaze.

"You dare bully the future son-in-law of my niece, how audacious!" Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch declared icily.

Hearing Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch’s statement, Qiankun Venerate King rushed to clarify.

"Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch, you’ve got it wrong, we..."

Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch interrupted him sharply.

"Silence! The Purple Spirit Realm Master dispatched me to probe this matter, and I know every detail of your deeds." Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch stated coldly.

Qiankun Venerate King’s heart sank in terror at Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch’s revelation. The affair had grown so grave it reached the Purple Spirit Realm Master’s ears.

"The Purple Spirit Realm Master declared he won’t meddle in the juniors’ conflicts, but if elders bully the young, he’ll respond in kind." Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch addressed the Supreme Immortal Sect Master, her words deliberate and forceful.

The Supreme Immortal Sect Master’s visage grew grim beyond measure. The Purple Spirit Realm Master was issuing a direct caution. Persisting against Gu Sheng might draw the Purple Spirit Realm Master’s wrath upon him personally.

How could the Supreme Immortal Sect Master miss the blatant threat embedded there?

Qiankun Venerate King lingered nearby, refusing to back down. His fists balled hard, face muscles spasming faintly, eyes fixed on the Supreme Immortal Sect Master in desperate hope of a turnaround.

"Sect Master, that Gu Sheng is insufferably arrogant, repeatedly thwarting my plans, how can we let him go like this!"

The Supreme Immortal Sect Master only fixed a frosty stare on Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch, ignoring Qiankun Venerate King entirely. His gaze held profound chill, concealing his true intentions.

Amid the deadlock, Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch shattered the quiet. The Sun True Fire encircling her surged restlessly, poised to lash out at foes instantly.

Heat surged through the vast hall, the ambient air scorching and snapping with fiery crackles.

Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch stood primed for battle, set to unleash fury at the first sign of hostility.

Witnessing Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch’s posture, Qiankun Venerate King could no longer hold back his fury. Gnashing his teeth, he bellowed at Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch, "You are merely a messenger sent by the Purple Spirit Realm Master, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Those words ignited the Supreme Immortal Sect Master’s rage completely. He whipped his head around, his knife-like glare piercing Qiankun Venerate King, who stumbled back a step in instinctive fear.

Suppressing the fury boiling inside, the Supreme Immortal Sect Master forced composure. Acting impulsively now would be folly. Clashing with the Purple Spirit Realm Master meant ruin for the Supreme Immortal Sect. After weighing options, he chose retreat.

"Enough, I will not take action against Gu Sheng." With a sleeve flick, he spun and strode from the hall.

Qiankun Venerate King and Taiyi Immortal King trailed after in helpless defeat. Their exit scattered the suffocating dread that had gripped the grand hall.

Tianxuan Divine Girl had watched the scene in tense anticipation throughout. Spotting Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch safe, she dashed straight to her side.

"Heavenly Monarch, are you alright?" Tianxuan Divine Girl inquired with deep concern, her gaze brimming with anxiety.

Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch gazed upon Tianxuan Divine Girl, a soft smile blooming on her lips as she lightly tapped her shoulder: "I’m fine, don’t worry. I was sent here early to save you."

Tianxuan Divine Girl blinked her eyes in curiosity: "Has Father truly recognized Gu Sheng?"

A smile played on Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch's face: "What I said before was merely to trick the Supreme Immortal Sect Master."

Tianxuan Divine Girl's curiosity intensified, and just as she prepared to question more, Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch declared, "Qiankun Venerate King’s words seem to contain some hidden information. I suspect the Supreme Immortal Sect may not be content with the status quo. This matter is complicated and will be discussed once we return to the Purple Spirit Realm."

Although her mind swirled with unanswered queries, Tianxuan Divine Girl could only nod her assent.

Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch turned her eyes to Gu Sheng next. She examined him carefully, noting his exceptionally sturdy physique where every muscle pulsed with limitless power. She detected the rock-solid foundation of Gu Sheng and the profoundly deep aura surrounding him.

"Is this Gu Sheng?" Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch questioned.

Tianxuan Divine Girl nodded affirmatively: "He is the Heavenly Saint Body."

Surprise and admiration gleamed in Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch’s eyes: "The Heavenly Saint Body barely suits you."

A light blush tinged Tianxuan Divine Girl’s cheeks before she spoke, "I still have scores to settle with him."

She waved for the others to exit, readying herself for a private talk with Gu Sheng.

Even as Tianlan Saint Master and the other elders were shooed from the Elder Hall, they harbored no grudge, their faces instead beaming with joyful expressions.
