Chapter 707: The Origin of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction, The ancestral ritual
The Absolute Heavenly Extinction was a mysterious place. Since ancient times, there had been a barrier outside to isolate everything. Even if there were Enlightened beings, they dare not set foot in it lightly, for fear of being contaminated by the aura of Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
Now here, a group of Absolute Heavenly creatures was standing respectfully, waiting for Gu Changge’s arrival.
“My lord, Your Highness the Eldest Princess has already ordered me to guide you. Now she is waiting for you in the imperial court.” The old coachman in charge of driving said respectfully.
He also looked like a human race, but his aura was as deep as the sea, extremely terrifying. Undoubtedly, like Jia Ming who came to escort Gu Changge, he also had the blood of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court.
Gu Changge nodded slightly as he glanced at all the Absolute Heavenly creatures in front of him, and then slowly stepped onto the chariot. Although it was his visit to the Absolute Heavenly Extinction, he didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
The Absolute Heavenly aura here was extremely strong. If ordinary cultivators were placed here, they would soon be infected before falling into Absolute Heavenly Extinction and lose their sanity.
The old man in charge of driving looked at Gu Changge calmly, but he was full of admiration in his heart. Although he was only responsible for driving, his own strength should not be underestimated.
As a person from the human race, Gu Changge was not affected by the aura of this place at all, and his expression was calm, like a real Absolute Heavenly creature. This was not just from something as simple as a terrifying cultivation base. It should be more about Gu Changge himself, who was not afraid of the aura of Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
Soon, the black jade chariot lifted into the sky, turned into a black divine light, and rushed straight to the depths of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction. The mist was heavy, with a round dark gray sun hanging in the sky, with a kind of dead light.
The land was full of pits and hollows, densely covered with many terrible rift valleys, from which a thick gray mist spewed out, covering the sky and the sun, making it extremely scary.
The entire cloudy sky was more like a dead burial ground, where many corpses and incomplete things were buried. Strands of gray mist floated from nowhere, blowing across the desolate land. Here, Gu Changge hardly saw any traces of living beings, not even ferocious beasts were present here, making it extremely silent.
It was more like a terrible war had taken place here. Countless creatures seemed to have died tragically, forming an ancient battlefield.
“Since when were all of you born with memories?” In the chariot, Gu Changge looked at Jia Ming at the side and asked with interest.
“This…” When Jiaming heard this, he couldn’t help displaying a look of embarra.s.sment on his face.
But in the face of Gu Changge, he still didn’t dare to refuse, and could only reply, “My lord, I waited for my own memory to start, it was the day when I walked out of the deepest part of my clan, and my previous memory was actually blank.”
In fact, this already involved some kind of secret of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction. The birth of an Absolute Heavenly creature not only required the cultivation of the clan’s land but also required a long period of time to transform. Sometimes, even they themselves were confused about who they were.
Was someone’s body transformed after death, becoming a new race? Or was it the original person, buried in the clan soil, erasing his own memory to gain a new life?
But it was undeniable that in the deepest part of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction, the origin and the biggest secret of their birth was hidden. And this secret might only be known to the most mysterious Lord of Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
“The Origin of Absolute Heavenly Creatures is related to Life to death. Could all of this have something to do with Reincarnation?” Hearing Jia Ming’s words, Gu Changge felt a little thoughtful.
Speaking of which, the origin of Absolute Heavenly Extinction was an extremely cold energy. It could devour all the surrounding matter, including law and order. Even s.p.a.ce was not spared
This kind of origin was not like something that could be born in the Upper Realm. It seemed to be brought from a strange and mysterious place by some unknown existence, in order to achieve a certain purpose. The central area of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction was a magnificent group of palaces, with many towers located, and it looked quite prosperous.
Compared to the desolate and dead silence in the fringe area, there were many more creatures here. People came and left, although it was not lively, there was a lot of noise. The black jade chariot galloped all the way before pa.s.sing the sky through this piece of the city wall, and went all the way to the depths.
The Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court was located there, and the majestic imperial city looked ancient and boundless. There was an aura corroded by the years. Wisps of gray mist lingered around, making the world here look extremely gray.
“Can we really trust him on the matter of the Reincarnation Platform?”
In the depths of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, in a palace. Several figures stood erect, and a gray mist was also lingering around them. One couldn’t see the face clearly, only the eyes reveal endless vicissitudes and a decadent aura. They seemed to be communicating but they seemed to be talking softly as their eyes penetrated the entire palace and looked out of the city.
“Reporting to the Ancient Ancestor, Gu Changge killed the heir of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation and took his inheritance as his own. Perhaps only he can do it in the Upper Realm today. We have to trust him. At this point, there’s no other way.”
Under these figures, Princess Jianan, the Chief Judge of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, stood with her hands down respectfully as she replied.
“He killed the true heir of the ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation? He’s a very ruthless person. Isn’t he afraid of causing great karma in the dark?” A figure shrouded in gray mist shook his head lightly, his eyes revealing his thoughts, apparently not believing it.
The Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, who, in the oldest times, had come to the Absolute Heavenly Extinction and had left behind a prophecy. It was said that one day in the future, the gray fog would cover the earth, and the true Absolute Heavenly Extinction would arrive to all worlds.
Such a character, who was proficient in the Dao of Reincarnation, could even trek through the long river of time, influencing the current world in ancient times. If it was really his chosen successor, how could he be killed so easily?
“This is not necessarily true. There is a general trend in the dark. The general trend is irreversible, but it does not mean that it cannot be reversed.” Hearing this, another Ancient Ancestor shrouded in gray mist shook his head and added.
“As long as we can cast the Reincarnation Platform and attract the aura from that lat.i.tude, we can break free from the shackles and achieve detachment. The well water in the clan land is about to dry up.” Another Ancient Ancestor sighed, their aura was extremely powerful. Although they were only standing in this palace, they seemed to be oppressing this sky.
There was no doubt that if they stepped out of this place and appeared in the Upper Realm, it would definitely cause boundless waves.
The Laws of Heaven and Earth in Absolute Heavenly Extinction were completely different from those in the Upper Realm, and their strength was by no means comparable to ordinary Remnant Immortals.
“Is the well running dry?” Hearing the Ancient Ancestor’s words, Jianan, who was standing below with her hands down, suddenly widened her eyes, as if she couldn’t believe it.
In fact, the birth and gestation of all of the Absolute Heavenly creatures were inseparable from the well water deep in the clan. To be precise, it was three extremely mysterious ancient wells.
Those three ancient wells created the huge Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, and they were also the source of the origin of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
Now, from the Ancestor’s mouth, she heard the news that the well water was about to dry up. Didn’t that mean that the Absolute Heavenly Extinction was facing a day of collapse and destruction?
Then where would all the Absolute Heavenly creatures go?
“No wonder even you, the Ancient Ancestors, were alarmed.”
There was a haze in Jianan’s heart, and Absolute Heavenly Extinction was actually not as peaceful as the outside world thought. It was facing the danger of destruction at any time.
“If the casting of the Reincarnation Platform fails, then our entire Absolute Heavenly group can only think of other ways out.” As the eldest princess of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, she suddenly felt that the responsibilities on her shoulders were much heavier.
“Go and receive Gu Changge first, if there is anything else, I will let you know later. As for the matter of the Ancestral Ritual, you can take charge of it first. After all the materials are collected, I will open the ancestral well and guide everything.”
Several Ancient Ancestors in the hall withdrew their gazes from the outside of the city, soon the place became dead and silent again. The matter of ancestral ritual was actually related to the Reincarnation Platform. If the Reincarnation Platform was cast successfully, the chances of success would be greatly increased.
This was not only about their detachment, but also about the survival of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
As early as many years ago, the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation left a prophecy, and saw a corner of the future of Absolute Heavenly Extinction. That was why they were told that in the future, they would forge a Reincarnation Platform to stabilize the laws of Reincarnation of Life and Death here.
It was a pity that the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation had long since disappeared, and they had no way to find it. Therefore, Jianan could only be sent to find the descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, trying to learn about the whereabouts of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation.
Now, there was no news of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, and they could only pin their hopes on his descendants. But this descendant killed the original true descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, and then took everything as his own.
It made them speechless. At this moment, in the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court.
As the black jade chariot landed, many members of the royal family, headed by Jia Luo, stepped forward to salute. Prior to this, after being summoned by Gu Changge, the eldest princess Jianan ordered everything to be arranged.
The current Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court seemed to be headed by her.
“Greetings, Young Master Changge. After the farewell in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, it’s good that Young Master Changge is safe and sound.” With a respectful expression on his face, Jia Luo smiled and motioned Gu Changge to enter the hall.
Many members of royal families behind him also looked at Gu Changge with awe and respect. Even in the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, they had already heard many rumors about Gu Changge.
Regardless of status or cultivation, he was already standing at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm, and they needed to look up to him.
“Brother Jia Luo, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Gu Changge smiled back, and followed Jia Luo into the hall.
“Imperial Sister has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet for Young Master Changge.” ia Luo slightly signaled that in the main hall, a banquet had already been set up.
A lot of spiritual fruit wines were shining brightly, and a group of beautiful singers danced slowly, and their singing was very touching. Many ministers of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court had already been waiting here, secretly looking at Gu Changge.
Quite a number of imperial daughters also cast brilliant gazes, thinking about them in their hearts. To put it bluntly, in the current Upper Realm, no matter where it was. All the heavenly girls who knew Gu Changge were curious or admired him.
Even if they were the princesses of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, there was no exception. Soon, Gu Changge sat down with a calm expression, looked at the many delicacies and wines in front of him before he began to taste them, which looked very natural.
Compared with the outside world, the spiritual fruit in the Absolute Heavenly Extinction was more or less contaminated with a lot of Absolute Heavenly Aura. For ordinary cultivators, this was highly poisonous and could corrode cultivation and soul. But for Gu Changge, it didn’t have the slightest influence.
“Hasn’t Imperial Sister come yet?” Jia Luo asked the maid next to him while pouring wine for Gu Changge.
In the current Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, Jianan was highly regarded by several Ancient Ancestors, and she was also fully responsible for receiving Gu Changge.
“Reporting to Prince Jia Luo, the eldest princess rushed to the ancestral hall, and now she should be on her way back.” The maid replied respectfully upon hearing the words, not daring to hide anything.
“The ancestral hall?” Jia Luo raised his eyebrows slightly.
The ancestral hall was generally a place for several Ancient Ancestors to retreat and cultivate. Without their permission, no one should disturb them. Jianan was suddenly summoned, and it was obvious that the Ancient Ancestors had something to explain to her.
Thinking of this, Jia Luo glanced at Gu Changge without any trace, thinking deeply.
In fact, he also knew about the casting of the Reincarnation Platform. And he was very clear that Gu Changge was not the true successor of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation.
Gu Changge controlled the inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, and it happened that the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court needed his help, the two had tacit understanding.
“All the way, the Absolute Heavenly Extinction I saw was far from what I imagined.”
At this time, Jia Luo’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Gu Changge who was chuckling beside him.
His complexion changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He explained with a smile, “Since ancient times, it has never changed. It’s just that outsiders have hardly set foot here and know little about it.”
Gu Changge put down his wine gla.s.s, smiled lightly and said, “It seems that I was worrying too much.”
On the way he came, he had already carefully looked at the Absolute Heavenly Extinction. To be honest, although there was quite a lot of Heavenly Extinction aura contained in it, it was far from his psychological expectation.
From a certain point of view, Gu Changge even felt that the Absolute Heavenly Extinction was drying up now, and it was impossible to really pose a threat to the Upper Realm.
Before that, he asked the eldest princess Jianan to get him the origin of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction. The other party refused in every possible way, and even delayed for a long time before finally sending some.
At that time, Gu Changge wondered if some kind of drastic change had taken place in the Absolute Heavenly Extinction. And Jianan explained to him that there was civil strife in the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court.
She needed to calm the chaos anyway, and couldn’t spare any extra time to find the origin of Absolute Heavenly Extinction for him. But judging from the current situation, it’s not that Jianan didn’t have time to find the origin of Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
But the origin of Absolute Heavenly Extinction had become extremely rare, and it was already difficult to find it, let alone use it to make a deal with Gu Changge.
“In this case, this so-called ancestral ritual should be extremely interesting.” Gu Changge smiled meaningfully, and looked outside the palace all of a sudden, his eyes falling somewhere.
When he was on the road, he felt that several eyes were spying on him, with some kind of scrutiny. But he had another plan, and he didn’t want to startle the enemy, so he pretended not to know.
Now it seemed that there should be a few big guys hiding in the Absolute Heavenly Extinction.
