"Very well then, I shall take my leave now."

Gu Changqing laughed heartily and, without waiting for the elder to speak, swiftly soared into the sky and disappeared.

What happened here is no longer his concern.

Not long after, Gu Changqing appeared in Jiang Qingcheng's courtyard.

Gu Changqing didn't knock and just pushed the door open and entered.

"Who is it?" Jiang Qingcheng asked with a puzzled look. She was taking a nap.

"It's me, I'm back." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and arrived at Jiang Qingcheng's bedside in the blink of an eye.

"My husband, you've finally decided to come back! I haven't seen you in so long. I've looked for you so many times, but you weren't in the sect. I missed you so much! Why did it take you so long to come back..."

When Jiang Qingcheng saw Gu Changqing return, she threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face as she poured out her longing for him. She was so pitiful and charming that she was almost heartbreaking.

"I'm back now, okay? Stop crying, you'll look ugly if you keep crying." Gu Changqing hugged her tightly and spoke softly.

Then Gu Changqing drew the bed curtains, and the two poured out their hearts to each other, unable to control their emotions, becoming inseparable, clinging to each other...

Time is money, and money can't buy time. Several hours passed quickly.

Gu Changqing opened his eyes, glanced at his wife beside him, tucked her in, and then returned to his own room.

With a wave of his hand, he casually set up a barrier, maximizing the system's ability to block out the sun and sky. Then, he found a place to sit down and, with a thought, began to absorb cultivation power.

"boom!"

In an instant, one of the light orbs in the system space disappeared. Gu Changqing immediately felt a surging, boundless power enter his body, flowing continuously. In a flash, he became radiant, his face flushed, and the aura throughout his body boiled like a surging river!

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

A series of extremely loud explosions, like firecrackers, rang out continuously. Gu Changqing's aura rose steadily, reaching its peak in no time. He clearly felt the layers of restrictions on his body being broken through.

"Boom!!"

The first shackle!

The hundredth shackle!

The ten thousandth shackle!

The 100,000th shackle!

The twenty-thousandth shackle!

...

The four hundred thousandth shackle!

The 500,000th shackle!

"Boom!!"

A moment later, Gu Changqing easily broke through the 500,000 shackles. As a result, his dantian expanded by hundreds of millions of times, and his cultivation level soared rapidly. He was just one step away from breaking through.

"Boom!"

Immortal Emperor Twelfth Heaven!

As the 500,000 shackles were completely broken, an extremely powerful and vast aura roared out in an instant, like an endless torrent, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, stepping into the next level.

Gu Changqing stopped, exhaled a long breath, and was extremely excited.

Good heavens! Five hundred thousand shackles were broken in an instant! This cultivation compensation is truly formidable! Wow!

Sensing the immense force churning within his body, he felt it was far more vast, profound, and terrifying than before!

A casual strike now is equivalent to a full-force strike before!

Without giving it much thought, Gu Changqing suppressed his excitement and began the lottery draw.

"System, come out here quickly, I want to draw a prize."

"Greenie is here. Host, your lottery draw count has accumulated to an astonishing one thousand times. You can do an ultimate six-draw." The system's voice rang in your mind.

"What kind of things can we get? System, give us a hint first," Gu Changqing asked curiously.

"Host, please wait a moment, let Greenie take a look." After saying that, Greenie immediately began to examine the object.

After a few breaths, Greenie's voice rang out again.

"The host has drawn six fragments of the Crimson Feather Ice Armor Qilin this time, namely the head, limbs, torso, claws, tail, and feathers. These six cards can be combined to create a high-grade Golden Feather Ice Armor Qilin," Greenie's voice rang out.

"What? Six fragments? What is that? This is such a rip-off." Gu Changqing said with a look of disgust, very dissatisfied with this lottery.

"Host, don't underestimate these fragments. The chance of drawing one in a single draw is only one in ten thousand. After synthesizing them, you'll know how amazing the Advanced Crimson Feather Ice Armor Qilin is. It's one of the four ancient spirit beasts, the embodiment of justice and good fortune, and will bring you good luck. I heard it's long extinct. If you can synthesize it, it will be a unique existence in heaven and earth. Even the Heavenly Emperor of the Upper Realm dreams of obtaining one, but has never had the chance. It can be your mount, how majestic! Once you ride it, good fortune will always be with you, and it will also bring you unexpected buffs. Host, don't miss this opportunity, it won't come again!" Greenie explained patiently.

Upon hearing Greenie's explanation, Gu Changqing immediately became interested. He hadn't expected there to be so many benefits. He also felt pretty good about getting a mount since he didn't have one yet.

After much deliberation, I decided to give it a try.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's begin the lottery!"

Buzz!

Hundreds and thousands of large orbs of light appeared before my eyes, spinning continuously like a lottery wheel.

"Drawing in progress, please wait..."

A moment later, the six orbs of light gradually came to a stop.

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn a prize and obtained—[Ancient Qilin Head Fragment!]"

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn a prize and obtained—[Fragments of the Four Limbs of the Primordial Qilin]!"

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn a prize and obtained—[Ancient Qilin Torso Fragment]!"

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn a prize and obtained—[Ancient Qilin Claw Fragment]!"

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn a prize and obtained—[Ancient Qilin Tail Fragment]!"

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn a prize and obtained—[Ancient Qilin Feather Fragment]!"

As the system notification ended, Gu Changqing immediately felt several glittering golden fragments appear in the system space, with countless golden divine rays intertwining and reflecting each other. The veil of truth has not yet been lifted, but we will know what it looks like once it is synthesized.

"Would you like to synthesize now, host?" Greenie's voice rang out again.

"Of course! Is there even a question? Do you even have a brain? Hurry up and synthesize it for me!" Gu Changqing rolled his eyes at Lü'er and said bluntly.

Instantly, the six glittering golden fragments in the system space disappeared, and with a "crack," the system began to rapidly synthesize them!

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose in the system space, and strange phenomena appeared in the sky: hundreds of birds paid homage to the phoenix, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and orioles sang and swallows danced, all flocking in.

A moment later, a high-level red-feathered ice-armored unicorn with an extremely powerful appearance and an exceptionally fierce look was born.

It looks extremely high-end and classy. At first glance, all you can see is 齉犅钃卍苏苏戅顟罡饙虪嶌谳戆藳藳饐导蘩騳薨…

Gu Changqing carefully examined the new partner and was quite satisfied with him.

Upon further sensing his cultivation level, holy crap, he was actually at the tenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm!

No wonder Greenie strongly suggested the lottery; it turns out it's so valuable!

With himself already this strong, and with such a powerful mount, how can anyone else possibly fight him!

When the six major demonic sects attack, watch me sweep across the land and display my divine might!

Gu Changqing's face immediately lit up with joy!
