Chapter 1137: No hesitation, escaping Big Dipper Starfield
Heavenly Emperor Mountain had a long and profound history, but now only three background existences remain, a fact that is undisputed.
Many background figures, rich in heritage, have succ.u.mbed to the pa.s.sage of time, fading into the annals of history without causing much stir.
Of course, the Heavenly Emperor Mountain once had other branches that diverged, but they have long evolved into separate groups, each governing itself. In these times, they can’t come to the aid of Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
Some background figures had left, taking some resources with them, choosing to exist independently beyond the hustle and bustle of the mortal realm. Therefore, as an ancient force in the upper realm, Heavenly Emperor Mountain now only had three background existences, which is quite reasonable.
If Gu Changge were to come and attack…
Upon hearing these words, the One-Eyed Daoist’s complexion turned pale, filled with apprehension, unwilling to contemplate such thoughts.
Currently, Gu Changge’s whereabouts are unknown; whether he was in the everlasting Gu family or, like other background figures of different lineages, had ventured into the Kun Ji Universe to fight for the opportunity to become immortal was uncertain.
Deep down, the One-Eyed Daoist had no intention of safeguarding Heavenly Emperor Mountain. As long as he achieves immortality, the fate of Heavenly Emperor Mountain’s demise is inconsequential to him.
He had lived for an incredibly long time. His lineage had flourished with several background figures, including several Dao-building expert adepts contending for the throne of Heavenly Emperor Mountain in the past.
However, the blood ties between him and those clan members had long been diluted. One-Eyed Daoist true kin and ancestors have pa.s.sed away, their burial sites lost to time.
Now, his sole focus was on achieving immortality, and everything else was expendable.
Heavenly Emperor Mountain must not perish. My vitality is depleting, and even if I were to contend for the opportunity to become an immortal, I would be unable to surpa.s.s others. It’s better to stay in the clan to ensure the continuity of Heavenly Emperor Mounitain’s legacy during these tumultuous times.
The background figure sitting on the meditation cushion spoke calmly, with deep and contemplative eyes. He had no desire to play for the opportunity to become an immortal.
Hearing this, the One-Eyed Daoist fell into silence. His expression was unpleasant, as he hadn’t antic.i.p.ated such an outcome.
Therefore, the One-Eyed Daoist could not deal with Gu Changge alone. Gu Changge’s strength was unfathomable, having long surpa.s.sed the limits of ordinary background figures.
The one or two background figures he had sent to ambush Gu Changge on the day he married Yue Mingkong couldn’t quickly resolve the enmity.
The one-eyed Daoist didn’t believe Gu Changge couldn’t find his whereabouts.
However, when the news of the Epoch Tree spread, the One-Eyed Daoist couldn’t sit still anymore. Every day, he saw ancient warships from other Dao forces breaking through the universal channels quickly, rushing towards the Kun Ji Universe.
After all, he also yearned to become immortal.
According to the information he obtained, the Kun Ji Universe was highly remote from the upper realm, secluded, and with incomplete rules of heaven and earth.
There was undoubtedly no background figure in control. The appearance of the Epoch Tree there, while the reason remained unknown, was undeniably exciting.
Background figures couldn’t sit still, their desire for immortality burning intensely.
Heavenly Emperor Mountain is now occupied. If we all leave, Heavenly Emperor will only have an empty sh.e.l.l, and a powerful enemy will attack. How can we resist it?
“Gu Changge from the Gu Family, don’t you have a grudge with him? Have you seen him leave?”
Hearing the words of the One-Eyed Daoist, the old man sitting on the right slowly opened his eyes, speaking calmly. “Let him go with you. I’m afraid my depleted vitality won’t be of much use.”
If Gu Changge comes to attack, having one person in control of the heritage can still resist…
The other background figure, who had been silent, also opened his eyes at this moment, speaking with a sense of weariness.
He stood up, appearing quite hunched, thin as a skeleton, with a broken horn on his forehead, looking like a gust of wind could blow him away.
However, his aura was not to be underestimated, as vast and complete as the boundless universe, capable of collapsing the void.
Upon hearing this, the One-Eyed Daoist was delighted. Suddenly, a vast hope arose in his heart. If the two joined forces, using all their means, there was still hope to contend for the opportunity to become immortal.
The Kun Ji Universe was highly remote, far from the center of the upper realm. In between, there were many desolate and tattered ancient universes.
Even with ancient warships, breaking through and advancing was challenging, overcoming the chaotic energy. Any slight mistake could result in explosions of buried corpses and remnants of weapons in the chaos, containing terrifying destructive shockwaves.
The vast armies of various immortal forces attacked from the center of the upper realm toward the Kun Ji Universe. However, due to the damaged universes in between, they suffered significant losses in personnel.
Even some background figures were lost, making many cultivators uneasy. They had just begun the journey, and if a large-scale battle erupted midway, everyone, except for the Dao-building experts, would likely become cannon fodder.
The road ahead is indeed difficult, but for the opportunity to become immortal, it’s worth the sacrifice.
Some background figures remained cold and indifferent, waving their hands without hesitation, urging the army to continue.
Simultaneously, they sent Dao-building experts and quasi-emperor existences from their clans to clear the way. They would only intervene in the face of dangers they couldn’t handle.
During this process, background figures sought ways to acc.u.mulate strength, antic.i.p.ating the unimaginable and world-shaking battles that would erupt upon reaching the Kun Ji Universe.
In the distant Kun Ji Universe, within the Big Dipper Star Field, an immeasurable divine light erupted from the divine ruins as if a brilliant sun was rising.
Terrifying auras swept through the heavens and the earth, causing countless cultivators and monks to tremble in fear. The legendary divine ruins were visible from afar, and a towering divine tree rose from it.
Its branches supported the chaotic sun and moon, and the world’s turning sound echoed, earth-shaking and profound. The entire universe trembled under its aura.
Countless Dao rules and divine mechanisms emerged from that place, pervading the entire universe.
The legend of the divine Ruins had been pa.s.sed down since ancient times, and even the founder of the most ancient and powerful force in the Big Dipper Star Field, Empress Huang Yu of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, had entered it during her youth. She received guidance from the lord of the divine ruins.
According to her, within the divine ruins was an incredibly ancient and majestic divine tree capable of supporting heaven through the ages. Its mysteries were profound and mysterious.
The lord of the divine ruins, a peerless existence, seemingly existing since the time of great extinction, had long surpa.s.sed the realm of immortality.
Various rumors had circulated about the divine ruins, and similar tales were heard in other star regions.
Inside the divine ruins, besides the mysterious ancient tree, it was said that the lord of the divine ruins had also planted a peach tree, which had now grown into an existence of unknown magnitude, guarding the divine ruins.
At this moment, within the magnificent palace of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty.
The current Emperor, gazing into the distance, sighed with a face full of sorrow.
Before him, many ministers knelt, wearing worried expressions, advising him, “Your Majesty, please leave quickly. Later, we can find a way to leave this universe.”
Obviously, the ancient tree in the divine ruins is problematic. Its fruit is about to mature, attracting many powerhouses from different universes. Big Dipper Star Field will inevitably experience an unimaginably great battle.
Even the Kun Ji Universe won’t be spared and will be destroyed. The world is changing. We still have time now; let’s escape.
Other forces and Dao forces have already started migrating to other places…
The Big Dipper Star Field was in chaos, with battles and bloodshed everywhere. It was not peaceful, experiencing a large-scale exodus.
The divine ruins were highly mysterious, and even the most powerful Dao-building expert since ancient times couldn’t approach them.
The matured divine items emitted intense waves, spreading towards heaven and worlds, acting like a beacon in the darkness, attracting powerhouses from other ancient universes.
Therefore, after thoroughly understanding the situation, forces with ancestral Dao-building experts began planning to move their traditional lands and escape from the Big Dipper Star Field.
