Chapter 705: Calculating against the entire Upper Realm, The situation begins to collapse
At the entrance of Peach Village, white mist surged, making it blurry. Taoyao had manifested her true body. With a fluttering skirt and silky hair, she was peerless and elegant.
“It’s the same whether she sees me or not. If she wants to come to see me, she will come over.” She was a little dazed, then recovered and gently shook her head.
Of course, she had heard about the fact that Chan Hong Yi escaped from the Demon Burying Abyss, killing all parties, and established her own Demonic Mountain.
It was just that she had always been lazy, and she had long been used to staying in the small place of Peach Village. She didn’t even want to take half a step out of the Land of Abandoned Immortals.
How many epochs and years had pa.s.sed since the Forbidden Era? She had almost forgotten Taoyao, her former friend, was she still the same as her now?
Moreover, Chan Hong Yi should be able to feel her aura, knowing that she was still alive. If she really wanted to see her, there were not many people in the Upper Realm who could stop her.
“Is that so?” Gu Changge raised his gla.s.s and drank, smiling slightly. “She is busy taking revenge on me now, so naturally she doesn’t have the time to find you.”
“What happened in the past?” Hearing this, Taoyao was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Changge. She couldn’t help asking softly, after all, she finally was revealing the doubt in her heart.
This was something she never understood. For Chan Hong Yi, Gu Changge was the person she respected and admired the most, who was also her teacher and father.
Although Gu Changge was harsh on her, he never let her suffer. Taoyao didn’t know why Chan Hong Yi, who once loved Gu Changge so much, chose to fight him with a sword in the end.
After all, that battle was too terrifying. Even in her original state, she was deeply frightened, turning humble like an ant.
The Heavenly Dao collapsed, all kinds of calamities descended, even the long river of time collapsed and became disordered. The worlds were destroyed, and even the Immortal Palace was destroyed and so on.
After burying an entire period of time, the discoloration of future generations would change, which could only be called taboo.
“Would you believe me if I said I can’t remember now?” Hearing this question, Gu Changge didn’t seem surprised, and asked with a smile.
“I believe. If it was you back then, you wouldn’t talk to me like that.” Taoyao also smiled lightly when she heard the words. Her already glamorous figure became more and more refined and extraordinary.
When she was still a small Peach Tree, she also talked with Gu Changge like this at night. It was just that at that time he was like the lonely moon and the elusive wind, and she was just a tiny speck of dust who could only look up to him silently.
“It seems that after all, something unimaginable happened to make this happen.” Taoyao shook her head lightly and sighed, feeling a little regretful and emotional about it.
After she woke up, it took a huge price for her to slowly recover her memory. If it wasn’t because of Yaoyao’s relationship, she might still be in a hazy state until now.
Gu Changge used to be such an indescribable and incredible existence, if he wanted to recover, the price would be even more unimaginable.
“The Upper Realm is about to be in chaos, and I will leave soon. Maybe the Immortal Realm and the Upper Realm will merge, or maybe a bigger opportunity will arrive…” Gu Changge took another sip of wine and added.
Originally, he thought that Taoyao could sense something, even if it was some fragments of the future. But judging from her reaction now, she didn’t seem to want to meddle in external affairs, and she didn’t even want to leave Peach Village for even half a step.
“You came to me, it shouldn’t be just to reminisce about the old days, it shouldn’t be as simple as saying these things?” Taoyao couldn’t understand what Gu Changge meant, so she asked after a moment of silence.
Gu Changge smiled approvingly, and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal, I just want you to do me a favor.”
“What’s the matter that needs my help?” Taoyao was somewhat interested in this, although her current cultivation had indeed surpa.s.sed the shackles of this world.
But it didn’t mean that she could exert power beyond the Immortal Realm. Gu Changge’s current methods were definitely more terrifying than hers. How could she help with things that even he couldn’t solve?
“I want you to help me guard something, to be precise, help me guard an ancient world.” Gu Changge said slowly.
“An ancient world?” Taoyao was even more stunned when she heard the words. With his strength, he was more than enough to protect an ancient world, even if it was to protect an Immortal force and Supreme sect.
Moreover, why did Gu Changge want her to do this? Was there anyone in this Upper Realm who dared to oppose him, dared to take action against the ancient world he wanted to protect?
Gu Changge was not surprised by Taoyao’s reaction. He nodded and said, “I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I think your ident.i.ty should be the most suitable.”
In fact, a long time ago, he was planning to calculate against the entire Upper Realm. What he wanted Taoyao to help him protect was not something else, but the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree.
In terms of time, the ripening time of the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree was just around the corner. Gu Changge intended to use the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree as a bait to attract the strongest foundations of all forces in the Upper Realm to help him take the last step.
This plan was not complicated, but the only thing that needed attention was to keep it from everyone. Especially those peerless old evildoers who had cultivated for tens of millions of years, some even from several epochs ago, who were sealed up and hidden.
They were the most powerful beings behind the various Immortal forces. Although it was impossible to step out of the Immortal Realm, if they really faced the existence of the Immortal Realm, there would be no way to counter it.
In their era, they were also amazingly talented, unmatched through the ages, and unmatched by anyone. Not only were they terrifying in strength, but their minds were also unbelievable. Anything that was not right would cause them to notice and even deduce a flaw. So Gu Changge had to be careful, in order to achieve his objective.
He not only needed to find an extremely long and ancient world, but also needed to store the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree in it, so as to reveal and attract those big fish into the net.
Among them, the role that Taoyao needed to play was to make those peerless old monsters feel at ease. After all, as a Dao Fruit of Epoch Tree, how could there be no Guardian?
Taoyao was a character from the Forbidden Era, and the aura on her body was unpredictable. Who could deduce her origin and footsteps? On the other hand, it had been countless years since the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree disappeared from the Upper Realm.
For this reason, the Upper Realm fought in the Eight Desolations and Ten Domains for many eras, because it believed that the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree was lost on that side.
It was a pity that after destroying the Eight Desolation and Ten Domains in this life, the Immortal forces and the Supreme sects of all parties in the Upper Realm had searched all the Eight Desolation and Ten Domains, and had not found any clues about the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree.
Now, a lot of news about the Immortal Path had appeared, and rumors about the Dao Fruit of the Epoch Tree were also being revealed. Could those peerless old monsters and powerful ancient beings who were hiding the deepest in the Upper Realm still sit still?
“I see.” Taoyao was silent, and did not ask Gu Changge the reason behind this.
Even if she didn’t agree, she also knew that Gu Changge definitely had the means to make her agree. Whether in the past or now, Gu Changge was not the kind of soft-hearted person who would show any mercy because of past friendship.
“Don’t worry, I’m just borrowing your Dharma Body. Of course, if you want to go with your true body, you can.” Gu Changge smiled casually.
He hadn’t found a suitable ancient world yet. So next, he had to go to the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court to retrieve the Heavenly Extinction Origin.
After that, things would be even simpler. Gu Changge only needed to completely refine and fuse that suitable ancient world with the True World in the palm that he got from h.e.l.l, and turn it into the Divine Kingdom in the palm.
Even if Enlightened beings or even Remnant Immortals stepped into it, they could only perish forever, die and disappear. Weren’t the various sects in the Upper Realm secretly planning to deal with him?
Then Gu Changge would prepare such a huge surprise for them in advance.
For the next few days, Gu Changge stayed in the Peach Village, bickered with Gu Xian’er, took Yaoyao around, chatted with Taoyao at the entrance of the village, talking about some things about the past or things from the Forbidden Era.
Many of Gu Xian’er’s masters were also familiar with him, and sometimes they would argue for a long time when they talked about some issues related to cultivation.
In a certain way, some of Gu Changge’s words made them feel a sense of clearing the clouds and seeing the fog, and they deeply admired him. Until this moment, they didn’t believe that Gu Changge would hurt Gu Xian’er, instead they began to guess Gu Changge’s real ident.i.ty.
If someone said that he was really just a younger generation, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were killed. The younger generation’s understanding of the Dao would make them feel shocked, incredible, and even in awe.
Instead, they believed that Gu Changge was the reincarnation of some incredible powerhouse. The cultivation base at the peak was unpredictable and unspeakable, maybe, he was an Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, Dao Ancestor!
And during Gu Changge’s stay in Peach Village for the past few days, the Upper Realm was also changing and undercurrents were surging. A lot of news about h.e.l.l, Buddha, and the recently risen Spring Breeze Pavilion, spread by those who were interested, quickly swept through the Heavens of the Upper Realm.
Every day, in various ancient cities, cultivators and creatures were discussing this matter, causing panic.
“Actually, the reason why h.e.l.l and Buddha suffered catastrophe is because they blocked the way for the Spring Breeze Pavilion to rise.”
“Many people are saying that the Young Master Changge is actually the master behind the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and he is silently supporting this a.s.sa.s.sination organization, that’s why he attacked h.e.l.l and Buddha.”
In the restaurant, many young geniuses were gathered. Each of them was shrouded in divine brilliance and had a strong aura. They were also talking about this matter with great interest and cared about everything about Gu Changge.
Judging from all the current signs, Gu Changge was absolutely inseparable from the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and had a deep connection.
Therefore, there were also Immortal forces calling on everyone to find the headquarters of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, just like destroying h.e.l.l, to completely wipe it out, so as to eliminate future troubles, and did not want it to develop into a second h.e.l.l.
Of course, there were also cultivators who were skeptical about this. If Gu Changge really wanted the Spring Breeze Pavillion to dominate, then why didn’t he continue to attack the other a.s.sa.s.sination organization, Buddha?
Many people thought that Gu Changge should have some inexplicable hatred with h.e.l.l.
However, under the deliberate suppression of various Immortal forces, this kind of discourse was very weak and could not stir up much waves.
“Actually, this is just a trivial matter. The Spring Breeze Pavilion only emerged in the last few thousand years. If it really wants to grow to the day comparable to h.e.l.l, it’s too early…”
“In my opinion, there is something even more important.”
In the pavilion, a genius shook his head and said softly. He was tall and handsome, with golden eyes. Traces of the cross could be flowing, and his aura was mysterious, not like a person of this era. The rest of the people were extremely respectful toward him, and they couldn’t help but stare in astonishment when they heard this.
“I wonder why Brother Jin Yun made such an a.s.sertion?” A heavenly girl asked in a delicate voice with brilliant eyes.
The man in front of him was a taboo genius of ancient times. This era was only broken from the divine origin. He came from the Immortal force, Violet Sky Valley. Its strength was extremely terrifying. A giant-level figure among the younger generation.
His words were naturally more convincing.
“Actually, you all overlooked a very important point, but I believe that the forces behind you should have explained something.” The taboo genius named Jin Yun raised his wine gla.s.s and shook his head lightly.
There was a strange flash in his eyes, and he remembered the explanation of Violet Sky Valley, and he spoke unhurriedly. Although he himself had no contact with Gu Changge. But he heard rumors about him almost every day, and his ears were almost calloused.
He who was proud and firmly believed that he was invincible waited to be born until this era. In fact, it was also to hone oneself and touch the legendary Immortal Realm. But the existence of Gu Changge made him have great doubts about this and about himself.
“Brother Jin Yun means… the young master Changge is actually the real inheritor of demonic arts…” Hearing Jin Yun’s words, there was almost a moment of silence in the pavilion, and everyone’s expressions became unnatural.
It was not just them. Now there was such news everywhere, saying that Gu Changge was actually the real inheritor of demonic arts. It was just that he hid it too deeply, and never showed any flaws.
Otherwise, how to explain that he had reached such an unbelievable level at such an age?
One must know that even ancient cla.s.sics did not dare to record it like this. However, many geniuses present were not stupid, they would not follow blindly, and they also had their own thinking.
In fact, from the perspective of the younger generation, they really couldn’t see that Gu Changge had anything to do with the inheritor of demonic arts. On the contrary, it had been Gu Changge who had been fighting against the mysterious inheritor of demonic arts, saving many geniuses from this difficulty.
“Actually, this is inevitable.”
“The situation has tipped.”
“This doesn’t need any evidence, it’s nothing more than just wanting to commit a crime. There is no excuse, Young Master Changge has grown to the point where everyone is afraid…”
“The Upper Realm needs such a reason to attack him.”
There was a moment of silence in the pavilion, and a young genius with a more straightforward personality sighed, with emotion in his eyes.
Jin Yun shook his head disapprovingly and said no more. He just conveyed this meaning according to the instructions of Violet Sky Valley behind him. Everyone was silent again, although a little bit sad, there was still a kind of relief at the bottom of their hearts.
The pressure that Gu Changge put on everyone was really terrifying, it laid over the top of their head, almost suffocating.
“If Young Master Changge falls, it will actually be a blessing for us.”
“Come, come, drink, drink, this matter has nothing to do with us, we are also not qualified to speak about it.”
Then, some geniuses broke the silence, smiled wryly, and began to invite everyone to drink, not wanting to think about it.
