Chapter 1157: A rare peace between the two women to make up for the deficit
The upper realm was in turmoil as the vast army returned from the distant Kun Ji Universe, bringing back news that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
All the immortal forces and sects were gripped by fear, antic.i.p.ating an imminent catastrophe threatening the entire upper realm, sparing no one.
The mastermind hidden behind the scenes had ascended to immortality, controlling the Dark Heaven.
The entire upper realm would now live under his shadow. Many background figures who managed to escape back trembled, frantically trying to return to their clans, preparing numerous forbidden immortal artifacts, consumed by profound anxiety.
Because the planner, upon returning to the upper realm, would undoubtedly conduct a thorough cleansing.
All immortal forces and clans were destined to face this fate, with the background figures at the forefront. After all, they were the strongest beneath immortality. Refusing to submit meant facing a certain death.
The upper realm’s immortal environment was changing quickly and recovering faster, but it will still take hundreds of years or more for it to fully adapt to and welcome more immortal beings.
Unless they had a method, like the planner, to ascend to immortality within this changing environment. However, the likelihood of such a possibility was incredibly small, almost negligible.
During this period, all the immortal forces and sects in the upper realm lived in constant fear and anxiety.
Each day was tense, and they couldn’t move as freely as before. Even the most ancient and profound clans hid in a small world, severing ties with the outside world for self-preservation.
Yet, they were aware that such measures had their limitations. If a true immortal desired to break in, they could do little to stop it.
Many speculated about the true ident.i.ty of the planner, linking it to the Reincarnated Heaven Lord at first.
However, recent sightings in the Dark Heaven dispelled those speculations, revealing that even the Reincarnated Heaven Lord was part of the Dark Heaven.
This revelation horrified people, realizing that the Reincarnated Heaven Lord was merely a body. The upper realm descended further into chaos, with everyone feeling endangered.
However, after Gu Changge returned to the upper realm, he remained quiet and unnoticed, neither making a grand entrance nor disturbing anyone.
Gu Changge appeared in the Peerless Immortal Dynasty and met with Yue Mingkong. The two got married, although their time together was brief.
Subsequently, with the emergence of the immortal light causing chaos in the upper realm, Yue Mingkong had to rush back to the Peerless Immortal Dynasty to handle various matters.
As for Tao Yao, she returned to Peach Village. When Empress Huang Yu headed midway to the universe where the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty was currently located, expressing some concerns, Gu Changge naturally didn’t interfere.
I know you will succeed; it’s just that I can’t help but worry.
Yueming Kong in the depths of the palace smiled calmly. Wrapped in a thin veil, her exquisite figure lay in Gu Changge’s arms, her beauty astonishing. Her eyes gazed at his face, seemingly enamored.
Gu Changge smiled slightly, resting his chin on her head. “How could I fail? No one in this world can stop me. I’ll soon break through to the immortal realm and make all of you immortals.”
Immortality is too distant. I still have a long way to go before achieving Dao-building expertise.
I don’t have much desire for immortality. As long as I’m with you, it’s enough.
Yue Mingkong whispered, feeling an unprecedented sense of tranquility at this moment. All the worries from the past period disappeared, allowing her to peacefully sleep.
She hadn’t wanted much all along. Even after taking control of the Peerless Immortal Dynasty, she had been trying every means to a.s.sist Gu Changge. For her, things like power were of little importance.
If you’re tired, you can leave the Peerless Immortal Dynasty to someone else and take a good rest. I no longer need you to do so much for me.
Gu Changge looked at her sleeping profile, gently smoothing the furrowed brows on her forehead. She appeared exhausted.
Although Yue Mingkong only mumbled in her sleep, it was evident that she was fatigued. Gu Changge smiled, revealing a softness on his face. He had indeed put her through quite a bit just now.
A few days later, he left the Peerless Immortal Dynasty and visited the Human Ancestor Hall to see Jiang Chuchu. Long ago, he had promised to marry her, a promise that hadn’t been fulfilled yet.
Gu Changge always remembered that he made many promises, but there were few he genuinely intended to fulfill. The commitment to Jiang Chuchu was one he wouldn’t break.
After you ascend to immortality, will you leave the upper realm?
The curtains were like clouds, and immortal mist lingered. With her beautiful eyes wide open inside the palace, Jiang Chuchu asked. Then, feeling a bit embarra.s.sed, she pushed him gently and said, “You’re pressing down on my hair.”
Gu Changge lay lazily on the bed, seemingly indifferent to the conversation. “We’ll see; currently, I have no plans to leave the upper realm. Besides, the Immortal Domain has yet to border with it. After so many epochs, who knows the current situation in the Immortal Domain?”
Is that so?
Jiang Chuchu seemed to grasp the gist of it, and a glimmer of antic.i.p.ation appeared in her eyes.
So, that means you’ll stay in the upper realm for a while.
Gu Changge nodded. He wasn’t sure what she was expecting, but the fact remained that Jiang Chuchu was quite attached to him.
After integrating and purifying the upper realm upon attaining immortality, it was relatively simple for Gu Changge.
Once back in the upper realm, he had instructed Alpha, Ah Er, Yin Mei, and others to manage the affairs of the Dark Heaven, and their efficiency was commendable.
Although he hadn’t made a public appearance, almost all the Daoist forces in the upper realm knew that the master behind the Dark Heaven was a true Immortal. Who would dare to confront the Dark Heaven head-on? No one was that foolish. Those who submitted submitted; those who didn’t were annihilated.
Speaking of which, that fellow traveler, w.a.n.g Zijin, is probably no longer in the upper realm.
Gu Changge recalled w.a.n.g Zijin at this moment; it had been quite some time since he heard any news about her.
In his eyes, w.a.n.g Zijin was quite mysterious, possessing a peculiar const.i.tution. Initially, he sought to exploit her const.i.tution’s essence, but that plan had been abandoned.
In the following days, Gu Changge stayed in the Human Ancestor Hall, keeping Jiang Chuchu company to make up for the long-standing debt.
Subsequently, he visited the Purple Pill Sect to inquire about the whereabouts of the formula for the Purple Immortal Pill. After learning about the location of some pill formulas, he fetched them for her. After all, the success of this pill was crucial for the rapid advancement of those around him, and Gu Changge took this matter quite seriously.
