Chapter 1189
Chapter 1189: Willing to share the world with the lord, isn’t this rushing to give the origin?
Reporting to my lord…
“The Moon King indeed hails from the Yue Clan, the most ancient and venerable family in the Southern Immortal Domain.”
Before the Ancient City of Heavenly Pa.s.sage, Jin Yuan reported with profound respect and a hint of surprise when Gu Changge mentioned the Yue Clan.
After all, this information was known only to the inhabitants of the Southern Immortal Domain, and it appeared that Gu Changge had recently arrived there. However, he may have had a connection with the ancestors of the Yue Clan.
Contemplating this, Jin Yuan became even more respectful.
Despite being a half-step Immortal King, he felt a daunting and profound sense of terror in the presence of Gu Changge. Even in the presence of a genuine Immortal King, he had never experienced such a feeling.
Therefore, Jin Yuan was confident that the Foreign Land’s Immortal King Kunxuan had been frightened away, and not for any other reason. It was a pure realization that he was undoubtedly no match for Gu Changge, prompting a swift escape from this universe.
The current Moon King could only be considered a descendant of the Yue Clan. He inherited the relics of his ancestors and ascended to the rank of Immortal King, overseeing the entire Immortal Domain.
The Yue Clan could be described as the oldest ethnic group in the present Southern Immortal Domain.
As for the Buddha King, he was a mysterious Immortal King from a distant universe. It was rumored to be connected to Buddhism, and the teachings conveyed were all Zen and Buddhist scriptures.
In the Southern Immortal Domain, a Buddhist kingdom was established to save all living beings, and it even pa.s.sed down the status of Buddha, with followers spanning several universes. However, his true strength remained a mystery.
Gu Changge nodded.
While the Yue Clan might have had ties to the Peerless Immortal Dynasty behind Yue Mingkong, it held little sway over him.
The Immortal Realm and Upper Realm had been disconnected for numerous eras, causing the once-similar races to evolve into distinct ethnic groups. Even within the Immortal Realm, it had splintered into five factions.
Connections such as blood had become even more tenuous.
Moreover, aside from the Yue Clan, the Longevity Gu Family, Longevity w.a.n.g Family, and other influential forces in the Immortal Realm also had their roots.
As for which Immortal Realm they belonged to, whether they had been eradicated or were rooted in a foreign land, these were not concerns for Gu Changge.
He was not interested and didn’t care.
Then, under which Immortal King do you serve?
Gu Changge cast a glance at Jin Yuan, then shifted his gaze to the true immortals behind him, casually inquiring, “Under whose command did you serve?”
“Reporting to my lord, I had come in obedience to the Moon King’s orders…” Jin Yuan respectfully replied. Despite being a half-step Immortal King, one would expect a certain level of courtesy, even from an Immortal King. The term’ underling’ felt too dismissive and casual.
However, in front of Gu Changge, Jin Yuan dared not reveal any dissatisfaction.
“So, the Moon King sent you over. What’s the reason this time? Did he lack legs, or was he too timid to appear before me?” Gu Changge maintained his casual tone, asking nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, many cultivators and beings in this realm, whether from the Immortal Realm or the Foreign Land, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, their expressions subtly changing. From Gu Changge’s actions, they couldn’t determine which side he was on.
Even the descendants of the Western Immortal Domain, at this moment, didn’t know what to say.
Gu Changge wasn’t intervening on their behalf or planning to help them restore the former glory of the Western Immortal Domain.
Sweat appeared on Jin Yuan’s forehead, and cold sweat trickled down his back. Others might not perceive it, but he felt it—the moment Gu Changge’s words landed, it was as if his heart had been gripped.
Even as a half-step Immortal King, he said even half a wrong word could lead to his demise.
“The Moon King was hosting a banquet in the Southern Immortal Domain to congratulate your arrival, my lord. That’s why she instructed me to come and welcome you here…”
Jin Yuan had no choice but to speak despite his apprehension. The Moon King sent him as a welcome gesture and to a.s.sess Gu Changge’s intentions and whether there was any hostility.
In the current situation, the sudden appearance of a mysterious being with an unfathomable cultivation level, capable of frightening away even an Immortal King from the Foreign Land, was enough to disrupt the current dynamics of the Immortal Domain.
The Moon King was cautious and unwilling to leave her immortal realm, fearing potential ambushes or attacks from other Immortal Kings in the Western Immortal Domain.
Is that so?
Gu Changge smiled faintly, not delving further into the matter. His inquiry was more of a probing nature to understand the Moon King’s att.i.tude. However, such caution and wariness didn’t quite align with the usual style of an Immortal King.
In the current Immortal Domain, if not every blade of gra.s.s being a potential threat, it was close enough. The Moon King’s reluctance to appear in person indicated uncertainty about Gu Changge’s intentions—whether he was a friend or foe.
The other true immortals in the Southern Immortal Domain now visibly sighed with relief.
They were worried that Gu Changge might attack them or intervene on behalf of the Western Immortal Domain. However, their concerns seemed unnecessary, as even the descendants of the Western Immortal Domain were unclear about Gu Changge’s intentions.
“The Western Immortal Domain had long been occupied, and each immortal city had been taken over by the foreign lands, with resources divided among their royal families. My lord, why not move to our Southern Immortal Domain? The Moon King was willing to share the realm with you,” Jin Yuan suggested, once again opening the conversation and proposing the idea of the Moon King and Gu Changge jointly ruling the Southern Immortal Domain. At the same time, he aimed to gauge Gu Changge’s reaction.
If Gu Changge showed interest in ruling the Immortal Domain, the Moon King would need to make some decisions. Besides the Western Immortal Domain, the other Immortal Domains were each governed by an Immortal King, especially the Northern Immortal Domain, which had three Immortal Kings.
In comparison, the Southern Immortal Domain had only two Immortal Kings, and the Buddha King had a unique role, rarely interfering in the affairs of the Immortal Realm.
It meant that the Southern Immortal Domain was under the sole control of the Moon King. She would face the vast armies of the foreign lands and numerous Immortal Kings if an invasion occurred.
The revelation surprised those gathered before the Ancient City of Heavenly Pa.s.sage. They hadn’t expected the Moon King to propose sharing the realm.
In the context of the current Five Immortal Domains, the Southern Immortal Domain was vast, with limitless territories and abundant resources. The Five Immortal Domains could be likened to a scaled-down universe, with numerous more miniature galaxies within, resembling an expansive, endless cosmic sky.
Within the territories governed by the Southern Immortal Domain, various races, clans, and immortal families coexisted, some with deep roots dating back to the forbidden epochs. Some trace their origins even further.
Even Immortal Kings from the foreign lands coveted these abundant resources. Was the Moon King willing to divide and share them with Gu Change?
Share the realm with me?
Gu Changge’s expression suddenly turned somewhat peculiar. Then, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he asked, “Are you sure these were the words spoken by the Moon King herself?”
“It was indeed spoken by the Moon King herself, I would not deceive my lord,” Jin Yuan replied. He didn’t understand the meaning behind Gu Changge’s words but sensed a different intention in his gaze.
However, in the presence of such a being, Jin Yuan dared not speculate recklessly.
“If that’s the case, then go back and tell the Moon King to wait. Be prepared—I will come to claim this realm,” Gu Changge said with a faint smile, his tone carrying an undeniable conviction.
“If she dares to deceive me, even if the ancestral founder of the Yue Clan were to revive, I would scatter their true spirit and annihilate both form and spirit,” he continued, his expression remaining calm but his words leaving no room for doubt.
Jin Yuan’s face changed, and he hastily said, “My lord, rest a.s.sured. These words were indeed spoken by the Moon King herself. Heaven and earth can bear witness. If she breaks the agreement, the Moon King will also suffer karmic consequences and wouldn’t dare to easily deceive you.”
Feeling a sense of trepidation, Jin Yuan couldn’t shake the feeling that the Moon King’s probes this time might have gone wrong. With seemingly casual remarks, the man before him hinted at something chilling and beyond his comprehension. The revival of the ancestral founder of the Yue Clan?
Did this person know the ancestral founder of the Yue Clan? The Yue Clan existed even before the forbidden epochs and had a significant connection to the primordial G.o.ddess of the moon during the creation of the universe.
Even though Jin Yuan was a half-step Immortal King, he felt a lingering fear and didn’t dare to delve deeper into these thoughts.
The cycle of reincarnation was the most mysterious thing in the world. At a certain level, every word and action would involve significant karma. The fact that this person mentioned the ancestral founder of the Yue Clan without any reservations indicated he cared little for the consequences. The origin of this individual was beyond terrifying.
The people present naturally heard these words, and although they were few, they carried many bewildering messages. Many beings from the foreign land turned pale, anxious, awaiting Gu Changge’s decision on their fate.
Boom!
At that moment, a dazzling light swept from the far end of the Western Immortal Domain, an area occupied by the foreign lands, exuding an aura that seemed boundless. The collision of Grand Dao-building expert resounded through the heavens and the earth, creating a cosmic rumble.
Terrifying momentum, akin to surging waves, swept in, causing the stars in the sky of the Western Immortal Domain to shatter like a spider’s web, seemingly unable to bear the overwhelming aura.
A rolling mist surged forth, propelled by an invisible, formidable force, advancing towards the collapsed and dilapidated immortal gate of the Western Immortal Domain.
Boom!
Several terrible figures suddenly appeared, their gazes icy, as if they had stood there since the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.
Chaos fog descended, accompanied by rich immortal energy and a daunting divine might that could topple ancient history. Behind them, fragments of time danced in the air, revealing the blurry shadows of the river of time.
Their Dao avatars were towering, so immense that they stretched the very fabric of the starry sky, making the galaxies around them appear like flowing mist, emphasizing their insignificance.
These were several Immortal Kings, simultaneously descending upon the borderlands of the Western Immortal Domain, standing shoulder to shoulder with heaven and earth, lifting their giant hands, exerting oppressive force.
It was a scene reminiscent of world destruction, where the heavens and earth turned black, the sun, moon, and stars dimmed, and the laws and regulations emitted the sound of shattering.
Chains of the Great Dao extended, attempting to seal off the area, but they instantly crumbled.
A sea of laws unfolded, various mighty principles converging within a single palm.
At this moment, it felt like an unparalleled demonic lord was about to emerge and annihilate the world. The already battered Western Heaven Gate revealed new cracks.
This unique aura of Immortal Kings made all living beings and cultivators shiver in fear. Under their gaze, every being seemed to transform into dust instantly; even those who had reached the Dao-building expert level were crushed into powder.
Autumn wind swept away fallen leaves.
Even powerhouses in the realm of Immortality would feel desperate in the face of these Immortal Kings, just as they did when the Western Immortal Domain was breached in the past.
Immortal Kings from the foreign realms…
And there are four of them.
Are they all coming down here?
Before the Heavenly Pa.s.sage Ancient City, Jin Yuan and the other cultivators from the Southern Immortal Domain had their expressions changed drastically, their scalps tingling.
They never antic.i.p.ated the foreign lands would mobilize such a terrible force, with four Immortal Kings appearing. Each of these Immortal Kings possessed terrifying and overwhelming strength.
The four Immortal Kings, with indifferent gazes, stood at the borderlands of the Western Immortal Domain, reaching out with ma.s.sive hands to tear apart the rules and laws of the realm, preparing to descend in their true forms.
All the inhabitants of the Western Immortal Domain looked fearful, recalling the day when Immortal Kings fell, and there were as many foreign Immortal Kings present.
That battle was too horrifying, aptly described as apocalyptic, shattering the entire Western Immortal Domain. Continents and life-bearing stars exploded, flying into the void in all directions.
Countless inhabitants of the Immortal Domain vanished silently in that battle, turning into ashes and disappearing without a trace.
The Immortal Kings of our realm are descending.
Great! Four Kings are descending. Even if Immortal Kings from other domains intervene, they won’t dare to face us. We are saved.
Four Kings crossing the sky. Who in the current Immortal Domain can contend with them? This is an insurmountable situation!
Many inhabitants from the foreign lands erupted in cheers, overwhelmed with excitement. This scene was akin to witnessing light amid darkness, igniting fervor and joy in their hearts.
After all, they rarely had the opportunity to witness Immortal Kings from other domains. Not to mention four Kings descending in unison, exerting pressure to tear through the barriers of the Western Immortal Domain and descend in their proper forms, just as in the previous invasion.
Such a spectacle was extremely rare for these beings from the foreign realms. Usually, Immortal Kings in their domains often secluded themselves in their respective immortal realms, sometimes entering a deep slumber for millions of years.
However, judging from the current situation, it was evident that the Immortal Kings from the foreign lands attached great importance to Gu Changge.
Four Immortal Kings from the foreign lands?
The large bird following Gu Changge also changed its expression. It initially thought this journey wouldn’t pose any danger, merely a return to familiar grounds in the Immortal Realm.
However, the sight of four Immortal Kings appearing in the sky, pressuring them to tear through the barriers of the Western Immortal Domain and descend in their proper forms, indicated otherwise.
Such a scenario was scarce on the side of the foreign lands. Typically, Immortal Kings there would spend long periods secluded in their immortal realms, sometimes sleeping for millions of years.
Judging from this reaction, it was clear that the kings from the foreign land attached significant importance to Gu Changge.
Four Immortal Kings?
Are they coming to offer their origin to me?
Gu Changge couldn’t help but let out a faint laugh, his expression calm. The smile on his lips hadn’t faded, adding a touch of mockery.
