Chapter 1092: The calm before the storm, wait for the world to come and worship you
Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Violet Sky Valley, and Endless Fire Kingdom have indeed maintained their ancient traditions and are often referred to as powerful immortal lineages. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they have truly endured countless ages without perishing. Over the long years, these traditions have acc.u.mulated profound wisdom, gathered disciples, and expanded their territories extensively, earning the fear and respect of the world, that was why they were labeled as immortal sects.
But when compared to those real immortal forces that have genuinely endured endless cycles of existence, they fall far short in some respects, lacking any real comparison.
The recent events that transpired on the day of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction have only served to tarnish the reputation of these so-called immortal sects like Heavenly Emperor Mountain and etc..They were immortal sects that initially spread rumors that Gu Changge was the inheritor of a forbidden demonic art, and now that the true inheritor has emerged, suspicions surrounding Gu Changge have naturally been dispelled.
In the following days, they dispatched formidable experts to the location where Jin Yun met his demise, attempting to trace any traces of the inheritor of the demonic art. However, after killing Jin Yun and seizing his essence, the inheritor seemed to vanish into thin air, disappearing from the world, leaving many cultivators with doubts.
This led many to question whether the real inheritor of the demonic art might have been among the young supremes who had entered the ancient cave together. After all, figures like the Phoenix Maiden, Jin Chan, and the Six-Crowned King Jun Yao all had significant suspicions surrounding them, having appeared in the cave at the same time. When Jin Yun, the young supreme figure from Violet Sky Valley, met his end, they couldn’t prove that they weren’t present at the scene, adding further uncertainty to the situation.
As a result, the situation became increasingly complicated. Many young supremes who had ventured into that cave in search of opportunities began to keep a low profile, fearing that they might be mistaken for the inheritor of the demonic art and face retaliation from others.
The Upper Realm was vast, with countless mysterious and unknown places.
Even those Dao-Building experts who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation dared not claim to have explored all these uncharted regions. Many speculated that the true inheritor of the demonic art was either hiding in these mysterious territories or that their true ident.i.ty was connected to certain powerful immortal forces, which allowed them to conceal their whereabouts and ident.i.ty so effectively.
Following these events, Gu Changge’s reputation soared even higher. Previously, even when falsely accused and suspected of being the inheritor of the demonic art and was hostile to, he remained undeterred. Instead, he emerged during the Absolute Heavenly Extinction to seek a solution for the well-being of the upper realm.
Such tireless and virtuous actions, repaying animosity with kindness, have garnered admiration and even worship from many cultivators. In some regions, voices have started to emerge, expressing the hope that Gu Changge could change the aloof and indifferent behavior of the various powerful immortal sects in the Upper Realm, because they often disregard the well-being of the common people. After all, even h.e.l.l itself was destroyed because of Gu Changge.
If he were willing to step forward at this moment, carrying the banner of justice for the Upper Realm, countless cultivators would undoubtedly rally to his cause. This development made powers like Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Violet Sky Valley, uneasy, sensing impending trouble. Many Dao-Building ancestors from different immortal sects drew closer, engaging in deep discussions and forming intricate plans.
The Upper Realm, once calm for so long, was now filled with turbulence, and it was clear that significant changes were on the horizon, far beyond the previous Longevity War and the Immortality Tribulation. And just at this moment, Gu Changge suddenly announced news that shook all cultivators and even all the forces.(Ed Note, Longevity War means the war between immortal sects caused by some treasure or medicine that can add life span. Immortality Tribulation means the cyclic riot in the entire Upper Realm, caused by the rise and fall of a certain immortal sect.)
He claimed to have a solution for the disaster of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction that had recently occurred. This news had an explosive impact, causing shockwaves throughout the entire cultivation world. As antic.i.p.ated by Gu Changge, this announcement was like a meteor crashing into a deep sea, creating waves of astonishment and disbelief.
Everyone found it unimaginable that there might be a solution to the Absolute Heavenly Extinction scourge. After all, if it could be resolved so easily, why had it plagued the Upper Realm for so many years, prompting the establishment of the True Immortal Academy with the aim of cultivating a real immortal?
Could it be that Gu Changge now possessed the fight capability matched with a real immortal?
As soon as many people heard this news, the thought involuntarily crossed their minds, sending shivers down their spines.
If not for this, how could Gu Changge be so confident in making such a claim? However, the question remained; how did Gu Changge achieve this, and how did he possess Immortal Realm abilities in an environment where they were not supposed to exist?
Immortal Forces like Heavenly Emperor Mountain and Violet Sky Valley are deeply unsettled. In the current environment, Immortal Realm power would mean invincibility, capable of sweeping through the entire Upper Realm. Even if they exhausted all their resources, they would find it challenging to contend with such a force.
And just as the entire Upper Realm was in shock over this news, Gu Changge soon revealed another piece of information: the legendary figure of the Immortal Ancient Period, The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, was still alive and possessed the means to help resolving the Absolute Heavenly Extinction catastrophe.(Ed Note: we will change the term Immortal Ancient Era into Immortal Ancient Period and The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation into Reincarnated Heaven Lord)
The revelation sent shockwaves through the upper world, leaving everyone awestruck. It was only at this moment that many people realized that Gu Changge was indeed the disciple of Reincarnated Heaven Lord. In other words, his master, who had lived from the Immortal Ancient Period until the present, was still alive, spanning countless ages and epochs.
When it came to Cultivation Base,Reincarnated Heaven Lord had surpa.s.sed the Immortal Realm in his era, making his power beyond the comprehension of current cultivators. His numerous legendary deeds and stories were still pa.s.sed down throughout the Upper Realm to this day.
He was a living relic of an era—such a being actually existed? If Gu Changge wasn’t lying, then Reincarnated Ancient Lord was undoubtedly the key to resolving the disaster of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
Once this realization settled in, the entire Upper Realm erupted in excitement. From common cultivators to ancient beings, everyone was focused on this matter, eager to discern whether it was truth or falsehood. In such a critical moment, Gu Changge had no reason to deceive or conceal information, so it was highly likely that his announcement was genuine.
“Reincarnated Heaven Lord…How could he have lived for so long.”
“Could it be that he delved into the mysteries of reincarnation and comprehended the Dao of time?”
“The power of time is truly enticing. But no matter how remarkable Reincarnated Heaven Lord was in his prime, he must still abide by the rules of today that belong to us.”
In the forbidden area of many immortal sects and forces, terrifying powers that had long slumbered began to awaken, surging like an expansive sea, shaking the surrounding star realms and startling countless common beings.
…
“Master, there must be visitors here today even without thinking!”
“Your name is far and wide, even today, your influence remains deep and indelible.”
“All we need to do now is wait for the various immortal sects to pay their respects.”
After parting ways with Jiang Chuchu, Gu Changge had returned to the Gu family, and transmitted these two earth-shattering pieces of news by the way. He hadn’t informed Reincarnated Heaven Lord in advance. Now, seeing the somewhat displeased expression on his cheap master’s face, Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile faintly, offering an explanation.
