Gu Santong's eyes gleamed as he noticed Chu Yang, who was wearing a dragon robe. He immediately perked up and asked urgently, "Young Emperor, did you defeat that old pig?"
Yu Huatian roared, "Insolence! Gu Santong, how dare you disrespect His Majesty!"
"Eunuch, how come you can't even speak with any strength? You're even weaker than this old man." Gu Santong mocked, "He's not your father, why are you in such a hurry?"
“You…” Yu Huatian trembled with anger.
"You're still unhappy that the emperor is your father? You little eunuch, you're not very loyal either." Gu Santong continued his verbal onslaught.
Yu Huatian's eyes turned red, as if he wanted to devour someone, and his clenched fists showed bulging veins.
"Calm down." Chu Yang patted his shoulder and reminded him, "If you want to make further progress in martial arts, the first thing you must do is learn to control your emotions, tame your restless mind, and restrain your wandering thoughts, so that you can become the master of your body."
Yu Huatian took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, as if he had realized something.
Not to mention him, even Zheng Dongliu and Zhuge Zhengwo nodded repeatedly after listening, and Duan Tianya fell into deep thought.
Gu Santong looked at Chu Yang with considerable surprise and couldn't help but exclaim, "Now I'm somewhat convinced that you defeated that old pig. I've been pondering these things for decades, and I never expected to hear them from you, the little emperor, right after we met."
"How did you come to understand these principles at such a young age?"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "The great path is right under your feet. Just listen and observe more. The reason why Senior Gu was stuck for so many years was simply because he was too obsessed with martial arts. If he had stopped for a while and appreciated the beautiful scenery around him, he would have already gained some enlightenment."
"The beautiful scenery around me..." Gu Santong murmured to himself, his face, which had been disdainful, now filled with bitterness. "If I had met you sooner, I wouldn't have ended up like this today."
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "Gu Santong will not easily change himself no matter who he meets. No matter how many times it happens, you and I will meet here."
Gu Santong gave Chu Yang a deep look, then suddenly burst into laughter, continuing to pull on the chains around his body and the hooks on his collarbone.
"How interesting! You and Zhu Wushi are nothing alike, which is quite to my liking."
"However, I still want to thank you for helping me get revenge. As a reward, I am willing to pass on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to you."
Everyone stared at Gu Santong in shock.
Yu Huatian excitedly said, "Your Majesty, this Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is considered the number one extraordinary skill in the martial arts world. I heard that as long as you master it, your body will be as tough as that of a demon, and it also has all sorts of miraculous uses."
Zhuge Zhengwo said, "Your Majesty, Gu Santong is willing to pass on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. It wouldn't be a bad thing for you to learn it. As the saying goes, it's never a bad thing to have more skills."
Gu Santong beckoned to Chu Yang and said, "Come forward and I will tell you the incantation. The rest of you, please step aside."
Upon hearing this, everyone retreated to the side of the passage.
Chu Yang remained standing still.
Gu Santong asked anxiously, "What does the young emperor mean? Does he not want to learn my martial arts?"
Chu Yang knew what kind of mischief Gu Santong was up to, so he decided to tease him a bit and said, "I once heard my royal uncle say that the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill requires a virgin body to practice. I am not qualified, so I will not trouble you to pass on your skills."
Chu Yang beat Gu Santong to his prepared lines, leaving Gu Santong momentarily speechless. He had originally intended to wait until Chu Yang was overjoyed and ready to accept the offer before delivering his lines.
He just wanted to see Chu Yang's disappointed expression...
Chu Yang wasn't disappointed, but the others were quite disappointed.
Zheng Dongliu said in astonishment, "The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill can only be cultivated by a virgin. No wonder there were rumors that it originated from a superior martial art of Buddhism."
Zhuge Zhengwo frowned, stroked his beard, and remained silent.
Cao Zhengchun, beaming with delight, said, “Senior Gu, why don’t you pass on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to me? I am a virgin, and if I learn this martial art, I can protect His Majesty and help him withstand any danger.”
Gu Santong shook his head and said, "I don't pass on this martial art to eunuchs."
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly asked, "Why is that?"
Gu Santong replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's because I don't like it. My famous Gu Santong has a eunuch as his successor. Wouldn't that be a laughing stock in the martial arts world?"
Cao Zhengchun's face turned ashen.
Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud; Gu Santong's mouth was truly annoying.
"I can't learn martial arts, but I appreciate your kindness. I'll have Duan Tianya send you more good food in the future, as a way of making it up to you on behalf of my royal uncle."
After Chu Yang finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
Gu Santong didn't expect him to be so straightforward. Seeing that the other party really didn't intend to learn, he immediately said, "I was just lying to that old pig. The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill can be practiced without being a virgin."
Chu Yang turned his head and asked, "Can you practice?"
Gu Santong nodded quickly, "It really can be practiced!"
Chu Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head with a regretful expression, saying, "But I heard from my royal uncle that this martial art can only be used five times in a lifetime, and it requires a lot of time to cultivate. It's really useless, so I might as well forget about it..."
Gu Santong finally couldn't hold back and burst into a tirade, "That old pig tells you everything! His mouth is as big as a cotton waistband, what a nuisance!"
"Get out of here! Get out of here! Stop practicing!"
Seeing that Gu Santong, known as the invincible mischievous child, was finally getting anxious, Chu Yang laughed smugly, "Senior, it's really fun to tease people. No wonder you like it so much."
Gu Santong stared blankly for a long time before he reacted, then angrily said, "You little brat, you tricked me!"
Chu Yang said, "Didn't you treat the Imperial Uncle the same way back then? Why can't you stand it when it's your turn?"
Gu Santong clicked his tongue and asked curiously, "How did you find out I was playing the old pig?"
Chu Yang laughed and said, "If you were a virgin, how could you have a child with Su Xin? Judging by the time, he should be older than me."
Gu Santong suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"I have a child? Where is he?!" (End of Chapter)
Chapter 207 The Dragon Elephant King's Decree!
Zhu Wushi was right about one thing: he loved Su Xin more than Gu Santong did.
Compared to his wife Su Xin, Gu Santong was more obsessed with martial arts, to the point that he didn't even know she had given birth to his child.
During his ten months of pregnancy, Gu Santong never saw anyone, and when the child was born, he didn't even get to see him.
On the day Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong fought their final battle at Tianchi, Su Xin was about to confess to Gu Santong that she had given birth to his child, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she was unable to say it.
Perhaps if she had spoken, Gu Santong would not have kept the appointment, and without that decisive battle, their fates would have been completely different.
Good luck tricks people.
Upon learning that he had a son, Gu Santong became extremely agitated. The sound of chains clanging echoed continuously from the secret prison. Blood was flowing from his collarbone, soaking his clothes, but he was completely unaware of it.
"Young Emperor, say it again, where is my child?"
"Please tell me!"
"I'll do anything you want!"
The once carefree and invincible child is now bound by the chains of family ties. There is no trace of his former carefree spirit left in him; all that remains is a father's hysterical worry for his child.
If the other party continues to be allowed to get emotional, Gu Santong, who is already exhausted, may have already gone mad before Chu Yang can explain Cheng Shifei's whereabouts.
"Lord Shenhou, Lord Zheng, please try to appease Senior Gu."
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Zhuge Zhengwo and Zheng Dongliu nodded simultaneously, their bodies vanishing in a flash, reappearing on either side of Gu Santong's body, and simultaneously reaching out to press his acupoints.
A grandmaster and a great grandmaster are using their power to forcibly suppress the irritable Gu Santong.
After a moment, Gu Santong's bloodshot eyes gradually cleared.
"Senior Gu, don't worry. I will help you find the child after you get out."
"Little Emperor, to tell you the truth, even if you don't help me, I will still teach you the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. I was just joking with you earlier."
“I understand what you mean, senior. One thing is one thing. You were framed by Zhu Wushi, which is why you ended up like this. I should make a statement. Although he is dead, he is still surnamed Zhu.”
"Gu Santong has never been convinced by many people in his life, young emperor, I admire your magnanimity."
As the two were talking, Zhuge Zhengwo and Zheng Dongliu simultaneously withdrew their attacks.
"Your Majesty, Gu Santong has aggravated his internal injuries and I'm afraid he won't live much longer," Zhuge Zhengwo said with a regretful expression, shaking his head.
"The demonic energy on those hooks has been constantly invading his body. Gu Santong has to suppress the pure Yang finger power that Zhu Wushi left in his body while also fighting against this demonic energy. It's a miracle that he's been able to hold on for so many years, but now he's powerless to reverse the situation..."
Zheng Dongliu sighed, feeling saddened by Gu Santong's fate.
She spent her entire life in a dark, secluded prison, and only after finally learning that she had a son did she have hope of surviving, but fate had other plans.
"It was fate..."
Gu Santong's face showed neither joy nor sorrow, only a hint of regret. He looked at Chu Yang and said softly, "Your Majesty, please come before me. I will pass on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to you. It would be such a pity if this divine skill were lost."
"The person I have wronged the most in my life is Suxin, and now I have another child. I hope Your Majesty will take pity on me and help this poor mother and child in the future."
“Senior Gu, I have never had the habit of taking care of my friends’ wives and children. You should do it yourself.” Chu Yang slowly walked up to Gu Santong and placed his hand on his shoulder.
Gu Santong's body suddenly trembled.
The withered and parched Qi Sea was suddenly greeted by a vast and pure life force, like a spring rain nourishing Gu Santong's meridians, and the stagnant true essence began to circulate again.
Zhuge Zhengwo observed the changes in Gu Santong and gradually revealed a look of surprise. This man was actually getting better.
Zheng Dongliu exclaimed in amazement, "I have never seen a Taoist master use such methods before... It is truly divine skill!"
Gu Santong's condition was undoubtedly improving, but his body was like an old, dilapidated machine, unable to withstand the powerful true energy.
As time went on, the pressure on him increased, his face quickly turned red, and he began to utter low growls that were difficult to understand.
