Even if he couldn't use the laws of spacetime to prove his Dao, the spacetime shuttle itself was a supreme treasure.
Its speed was unparalleled, capable of leaping through spacetime. If he were to pilot it, perhaps he could achieve true spacetime leaps, tearing through the universe's planes.
At that time, throughout the Nine Heavens, where could he not go?
Even an Immortal King would never be able to catch up to him.
Li Yuzheng's heart grew hotter the more he thought about it, and he followed according to the trail left by the spacetime shuttle.
"..."
Long Jue's face twisted in a grimace.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, that damn couple deserves to die..."
He never expected that Gu Qing would actually possess a spacetime shuttle capable of leaping through spacetime.
This was a true supreme treasure; before it, the God-Burying Flower was nothing.
However, such a supreme treasure was destined to have no connection with him.
Moreover, he couldn't determine whether Li Yuzheng would kill Gu Qing and Zhi Meng, but he absolutely would not hand the two of them over to him.
In other words, the good fortune on their bodies had nothing to do with him anymore.
So, had he squandered his entire fortune and offended numerous Heaven's Chosen all for Li Yuzheng's benefit?
Thinking of this, Long Jue was driven mad by anger and spat several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
The great opportunity for heaven-defying rise had slipped through his hands several times, and he was filled with hatred.
"Tsk, what a tragic sight." Long Jue's followers watched with trepidation, silently mourning for him.
It was too tragic.
First, he lost the God-Burying Flower, and now he had completely lost Gu Qing and Zhi Meng, along with the opportunities on them.
After all his scheming, the result was a complete waste, all for someone else's benefit.
Their brilliant and majestic Seventh Highness, with his deep scheming and decisive, ruthless methods, was simply a complete and utter golden goose.
"Who? Who's laughing?"
Seeing one of his subordinates trying to hold back a laugh, Long Jue flew into a rage.
Without a second thought, he slapped him to death.
Then he killed the remaining people as well.
Although these were his confidants, if they were to blame anyone, they could only blame themselves for seeing what they shouldn't have.
The spacetime shuttle absolutely could not be exposed.
Perhaps he could still make some plans.
...
"Hmph, ants, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, to the desolate edges of the universe, this one will still capture you."
Li Yuzheng followed closely, tracking the spacetime fluctuations left by the spacetime shuttle.
Even if it took a thousand years, ten thousand years, he would still chase down Gu Qing.
Moreover, a spacetime shuttle this heaven-defying would surely have terrifying consumption.
Perhaps in just a few days, the two of them would be drained dry and forced to stop.
Thinking this, Li Yuzheng revealed a cold smile, his expression arrogant, determined to obtain the spacetime shuttle at all costs.
Inside the flying boat, Gu Qing looked at the spacetime projection, Li Yin's face full of determination was practically overflowing from the projection.
"Hmph."
Gu Qing sneered coldly.
He had over a hundred billion immortal crystals and endless Primordial Yellow Qi; if Li Yin wanted to play a war of attrition with him, he had seriously miscalculated.
From the moment he escaped Li Yin's divine sense and boarded the spacetime shuttle, Li Yin was destined to be unable to catch up with him.
Even, Gu Qing could open a spacetime jump to a greater distance at any time to shake off Li Yin.
"Master, speed up a bit more."
A murderous intent flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.
Li Yin wanted to kill him, and he equally wanted to eliminate Li Yin.
However, a Profound Divine Expert at their peak was too terrifying.
Although Li Yin was only at the second stage of the Profound Divine Realm, that was still the Profound Divine Realm, fundamentally different from the Heavenly God Realm.
Gu Qing was afraid that the Calamity Black Dragon's curse might not work, or even if it did, it wouldn't achieve the desired effect.
What if Li Yin was cursed but still had the strength to counterattack? He didn't want to be killed in turn by accident.
Therefore, the most reliable approach was to first wear Li Yin down to a half-crippled state.
When Li Yin could no longer hold on, he would use the Calamity Black Dragon's curse, and then use the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror to kill Li Yin in one fell swoop.
"Alright!"
Seeing Gu Qing's expression, Zhi Meng instantly guessed his purpose.
She poured all the immortal crystals into the flying boat's grooves, urging the flying boat, which now moved twice as fast as before.
Zhi Meng looked at the projection, feeling extremely fortunate that Gu Qing had such heaven-defying spacetime shuttle; otherwise, they would really have been doomed today.
"Hm?"
Li Yin's expression changed.
This jump was too far.
If he continued at his current speed, he would completely lose track of the flying boat in no time.
Without any hesitation, Li Yin immediately used his blood shield, even at the cost of burning his mana.
That's right, the immortal energy of a Profound Divine Expert had already transformed into mana, which carried its own laws.
"Clever little ant."
Li Yin's gaze turned grim, and he felt some regret.
Actually, at the very beginning when Gu Qing teleported through space, as long as he had paid enough attention, he could still have intercepted Gu Yin with a single thought.
Perhaps Gu Qing knew this, which was why he deliberately provoked him with words.
Li Yin hadn't taken it seriously, thinking that a Heavenly God Realm ant could never escape his grasp no matter what.
However, because of that moment's delay, Gu Qing had completely escaped the range of his divine sense and boarded the flying boat.
"Faster, this old thing hasn't reached his limit yet."
Gu Qing's gaze was fixed on the projection.
Seeing Li Yin burning mana with a resolute expression, he was certain that Li Yin would continue to pursue him.
Just as expected, Li Yin continued to follow, burning even more mana in an attempt to catch up.
"Should we continue accelerating?"
Zhi Meng accelerated by another third as instructed. After flying for a while, seeing Li Yin catching up and about to overtake their flying boat, she couldn't help but ask with concern.
"No need."
Gu Qing shook his head. This wasn't how one went fishing.
If he kept increasing speed, Li Yin would surely notice something was amiss.
"But..."
"Don't worry. The Spacetime Shuttle can withstand attacks from the Profound Divine Realm and can break free from Profound Divine Realm divine ability restraints, as long as we have enough energy."
"And we have the one thing we'll never run out of: energy."
Gu Qing said with a laugh.
Thinking it wasn't enough to be safe, Gu Qing released ten trillion threads of Primordial Qi.
Using Primordial Qi to power it was much faster than using immortal crystals.
"Whoosh!"
Zhi Meng let out a long breath. Hearing this, she was completely reassured.
Looking at the rapidly burning Primordial Qi, Zhi Meng immediately felt a pang of heartache.
This was the Primordial Qi that even Immortal Kings yearned for.
To use it just to power a flying boat was too extravagant.
A fierce glint appeared in Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes.
Whatever was lost from Li Yin, she would definitely demand double repayment from his family in the future.
And there was also Long Jue.
Once she joined the Star Emperor Sect, she would go deal with him.
Gu Qing thought the same way.
After all, Long Jue was the son of an Immortal King. One absolutely couldn't curse him across the boundless void. What if Long Jue had an Immortal King's divine sense on him? Wouldn't that expose them?
Therefore, they had to use brute force to kill Long Jue.
But before making a move, he needed to get a protective talisman from Jiang Yu to be safe.
Also, since his Spacetime Shuttle had been exposed, he needed Jiang Yu to help resolve that issue.
At this thought, Jiang Yu instantly became immensely towering in Gu Qing's heart.
He immediately sent a few messages to greet her. The thigh of a big shot must be held tightly.
"Boom!"
Li Yin caught up. His great palm imprint of magical power grabbed the Spacetime Shuttle, but it was instantly shattered by the spacetime might on the shuttle, which then leaped through spacetime.
"What a treasure."
Seeing this, Li Yin wanted the Spacetime Shuttle even more.
"You insignificant ant, let's see how long you can last."
"You're about to run out of steam, aren't you?"
"A month has passed. What is this ant made of?"
Li Yin relentlessly pursued them, going from initial confidence and composure, to growing uneasy, and finally to wanting to give up.
According to his calculations, a month had already passed, and he should have already squeezed the two of them dry.
Even using immortal crystals, at least a trillion immortal crystals should have been consumed.
Did Gu Qing really have that many immortal crystals?
It was actually possible.
Li Yin remembered, Gu Qing was an alchemy master after all.
But he shouldn't have collected so many immortal crystals.
After all, immortal crystals were only things used by low-level cultivators. A master like Gu Qing should use various treasures and immortal sources without side effects to improve his cultivation.
Thinking of immortal sources, Li Yin's expression became even uglier.
"All alchemy masters in the world deserve to die." Li Yin gritted his teeth.
So the question was, would he follow or not?
Follow.
As soon as this thought appeared, Li Yin immediately made his decision.
A treasure that could defy heaven and change fate was right before his eyes. If he missed it, he would never encounter such an opportunity again in his life.
As long as there was even a sliver of hope, he couldn't possibly give up.
Thinking this, Li Yin even more crazily burned his mana and crazily bombarded the flying boat.
He just wanted to see how many immortal sources and immortal crystals Gu Qing had on him.
Let's see who would give out first.
He could still hold out for two more months. He didn't believe Gu Qing could also hold out for two months.
