The Bone You Love Digging Most — Lord Long Teng Will Appreciate You
The Bone You Love Digging Most — Lord Long Teng Will Appreciate You
Pu!
Blood splattered everywhere. The black blade’s gleam cut through everything, directly annihilating the Seventh Princess’s Primordial Spirit!
Although Gu Xianer repeatedly suffered setbacks and losses when facing Gu Changge, under the tutelage of those old monsters, her true temperament had become extremely decisive and ruthless in killing.
At a time like this, there was no longer any need to show mercy.
The Ancient Sea Palace had treated her this way, and the Seventh Princess had hunted her for so long — how could there be any reason not to kill her?
Soon, the Seventh Princess perished, her body transforming into an enormous golden sea fish, specks of divine intent suffusing its body.
It bore quite a few black-and-white markings, making it look as though it possessed the bloodline of a Kunpeng.
“Good thing it’s not in human form, otherwise I really couldn’t bring myself to eat it.”
Afterward, with a calm and composed expression, Gu Xianer used that black greatsaber to butcher and carve up the meat on the spot, right in front of Gu Changge.
She did it with practiced ease — clearly, this was not the first time she had done such a thing.
After the Seventh Princess died and transformed into her enormous true form, in Gu Xianer’s eyes she was nothing more than a fine piece of food and material.
Gu Changge watched her with great interest, not interrupting.
Over these years, although Gu Xianer had many masters teaching her and appeared to have an invincible background with countless divine treasures,
in reality, her actual wealth couldn’t even compare to some Young Prodigies.
So the first thing she did was take the Seventh Princess’s storage ring space into her own pocket, as if afraid Gu Changge would make a move to snatch it.
“Look at how poor you are. Even I, as your brother, can’t bear to watch anymore.” Gu Changge couldn’t help shaking his head, putting on an expression of pity and regret.
According to the normal plot,
at this point, he should have seen how pitifully poor Gu Xianer was and casually pulled out some good things to “relieve” her a little.
But Gu Changge had no such self-awareness whatsoever.
Instead, his words seemed deliberately aimed at poking her sore spot.
Hearing this, Gu Xianer shot him a sideways glance, her expression cold and aloof with a trace of proud solitude. Her delicate, pale little hand rummaged around inside the fish corpse for a while,
and then she pulled out a dazzling Runed Bone interwoven with golden and black radiance.
She tossed it straight in front of Gu Changge, in a tone that was just asking for a beating,
“Here, this is the bone you love digging out the most...”
Gu Changge looked at her.
Gu Xianer wasn’t afraid of him at all. She met his gaze directly, her expression perfectly calm, the corners of her mouth even carrying a triumphant smile.
Faced with such a punchable attitude, Gu Changge naturally chose to oblige her.
Just like last time.
One palm slammed down, like a golden Five-Finger Mountain.
Gu Xianer’s revived Celestial Bone immediately quieted down, as if its arrogance had been suppressed.
Pa!
“Gu Changge, sooner or later I will return everything to you in full...”
Gu Xianer was once again mortified and furious, her face as red as a boiled shrimp, gritting her teeth.
But by this time, Gu Changge could no longer be bothered with her, and led his group of followers away from the place.
Gu Xianer was once again pinned beneath the golden palm, which made her gnash her teeth in hatred.
Although this was the result of her deliberately provoking Gu Changge, being suppressed so casually was truly too humiliating.
The instant she broke free, she looked toward where Gu Changge had departed, madly cursing him in her heart — may he choke to death drinking water, may he suffer qi deviation in seclusion.
As for the many cultivators nearby, at this moment they didn’t dare approach at all, only daring to watch from far away, the shock in their hearts impossible to dispel.
“If only I could find a latrine...”
In the air, having left the place, Gu Changge’s expression still held some regret.
He really had wanted to toss Gu Xianer into a latrine and suppress her there for three to five years.
If a little sister isn’t for bullying, then what is she for?
A Fortuitous daughter like Gu Xianer was best left free-range.
She had her own fortuitous encounters.
Gu Changge couldn’t be bothered to interfere.
Afterward, he checked his current status panel. After all, this time he had gained five thousand points — no small fortune.

“It’s been a while since I added points. My cultivation really is a bit low now...”
Gu Changge glanced at his Skyward Ascension progress. He didn’t plan to waste time on cultivation and study, so to save trouble this time,
his cultivation broke through an entire great realm in one go, directly adding points to raise it to the early Partial-Enlightened Realm!
This realm was enough for him for now.
Skyward Ascension also reached the Ninth Layer, and in Gu Changge’s mind appeared many secret arts and techniques from the Ninth Layer of Skyward Ascension.
Under the enhancement of his Absolute Detachment talent, these underwent a qualitative leap.
“Next, that scapegoat Ye Ling should give me a pleasant surprise.”
Thinking of another matter, a strange look couldn’t help appearing on Gu Changge’s face.
He sensed the aura Yin Mei had deliberately left behind for him, and pursued it all the way from here.
...
Soon, the news that the Ancient Sea Palace’s Seventh Princess had been defeated by Gu Changge and then perished spread like a hurricane.
It caused a tremendous sensation across all regions of the Celestial Ancient Continent, creating an earthquake-like upheaval.
All the younger generation who heard the news were horrified, eyes wide, frozen in place.
Many even felt chilled to the bone — in broad daylight, it was as if their skulls had been pried open, and even their souls couldn’t help but shiver.
After learning the whole story, many cultivators fell into shock and silence.
The cause of the matter, when it came down to it, was that the Seventh Princess’s younger brother had taken a fancy to the beauty of a young woman in green, harbored ill intentions, and was killed by her in return.
To avenge her brother’s death, the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Sea Palace dispatched a large number of sea race beings and even several Young Prodigies to hunt down the green-clothed girl.
And that green-clothed girl’s true identity was connected to Gu Changge, the current successor of Skyward Schloss.
This pursuit lasted several days.
In the end, the Ancient Sea Palace laid down the Ancient Sea Formation, sealing off heaven and earth, trapping the green-clothed girl.
Just when everyone thought this would be a slaughter without any surprises,
an accident happened. Gu Changge descended upon the scene, suppressing and killing several Young Prodigies with overwhelming methods. Even when the Seventh Princess used many powerful techniques, she was defeated in a single move, her Dao Heart collapsing.
In the end, the Seventh Princess perished there.
The beings and cultivators of the Ancient Sea Palace were also completely annihilated. The scene was tragic — blood drifted and spread for over a thousand li.
In this battle, the strength Gu Changge displayed shocked everyone.
Walking Taboo!
When these four words spread, it was like a meteorite crashing into the deep sea, setting off monstrous waves.
Even Young Prodigies who firmly believed in their own invincibility sucked in cold breaths, unable to keep from changing expression.
Although the cultivation Gu Changge revealed was the late Honoured King Realm, even the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Sea Palace — who was called invincible and whose cultivation had broken through to the Peak Honoured King Realm — was instantly and miserably defeated.
This result triggered a terrifying wave. Many speculated that Gu Changge’s true cultivation could absolutely not be merely the late Honoured King Realm!
After all, no one had seen his true trump card.
The Seventh Princess of the Ancient Sea Palace was definitely an existence standing in the upper ranks among Young Prodigies.
Especially her cultivation, which had broken through to the Peak Honoured King Realm — looking across the younger generation, how many could currently achieve such a level?
Yet before Gu Changge, she had not the slightest power to resist, defeated in an instant.
At the time, Gu Changge was also suspected of commanding a terrifying sword art, containing absolute offensive sharpness.
Multiple Young Prodigies were instantly killed by a single strand of Sword Qi.
This matter also sent chills down the backs of the many Young Prodigies within the Celestial Ancient Continent.
They asked themselves — facing such methods, they would have no power to resist whatsoever.
Faintly, the great mountain named Gu Changge looming over their heads grew even heavier.
It pressed down on everyone until they could hardly breathe.
“Walking Taboo... Gu-xiong’s strength is simply terrifying. Being ranked alongside him is rather an embarrassment to him.”
Outside an ancient cave dwelling billowing with immortal mist, a young man surrounded by four spirits and shrouded in divine rings heard the news and couldn’t help shaking his head with a bitter smile, shock surfacing on his face.
It was none other than Ye Langtian.
During this period, he had only just barely broken through to the mid Honoured King Realm.
Facing the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Sea Palace now, he had no great confidence he could win.
Yet Gu Changge could easily suppress and kill her.
The gap between them needed no further explanation.
“Among the younger generation, aside from true Imperial Scions or those sealed-away ancient freaks and monsters, I’m afraid no one is a match for Gu-xiong anymore.”
Ye Langtian couldn’t help sighing thus. It wasn’t that his Dao Heart was unstable or that he feared Gu Changge.
Rather, he understood clearly that this gap was obviously no longer something cultivation and talent could make up for.
Recognizing reality and knowing the gap was not something unacceptable.
Similar scenes were occurring in various places.
The number of younger generation who had come to the Celestial Ancient Continent was beyond count.
The forces and orthodoxies within Boundless Heaven alone accounted for a great many, not to mention the younger generation rushing over from other places.
And the news of Gu Changge suppressing and killing the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Sea Palace was clearly even more shocking than the emergence of divine treasures.
...
At the same time.
In the eastern region of the Celestial Ancient Continent, a world-shaking great battle was also taking place.
Vast stretches of mountain ranges and lakes were reduced to dust, the aftershocks shaking over a thousand li.
The ones fighting were two women.
One wore loose, flowing robes, her dark hair fluttering, her immortal countenance like a painting, her jade hands flawless. As she raised them across the sky, a rumbling momentum emerged — that was resplendent light, terrifying to the extreme.
Brilliant silver light bloomed in her hands, like silver vines one after another, all rooted in the void. As their leaves turned, the dazzling light seemed about to drown everything.
It was Yue Mingkong’s powerful precious technique — it could even be called an Emperor Technique without exaggeration...
But now it was being held off.
Her expression was cold and profound, though in her heart there was actually a trace of worry, and the methods in her hands grew even stronger.
The nearby cultivators were all startled — faintly, it was as if a peerless empress were striding through the sky, her jade hand covering the universe, about to reign supreme over the world!
Her opponent was a tall woman with dragon horns, her features lovely, her clothing very simple, yet she exuded a wild and domineering aura.
Her blood energy was terrifying beyond measure — she was practically a juvenile True Dragon reborn.
As her arms swung, the void exploded with a dong, as if a great hole had been smashed open.
Such terrifying power made the crowd of cultivators tremble with fear, suspecting that if they got close they would be shaken into a mist of blood!
At this moment, Yue Mingkong’s entire body was bathed in silver light.
This stretch of heaven and earth seemed to have fallen under her control. With a raise of her hand came endless mighty force, containing the great momentum of heaven and earth, rumbling as if worlds were crashing down.
She didn’t dare clash head-on with her opponent’s body either.
At this point she could only use exquisite techniques to fight her.
“Mingkong the Crown Heir is so powerful! She usually never shows off, but now her strength is simply horrifying!”
The nearby cultivators couldn’t help being shaken.
Yue Mingkong’s world-defying, supreme-bearing aura today shocked everyone — in a single thought, who could contend with her?
“This is Mingkong the Crown Heir’s technique and art! The Gu Family’s Young Master is already strong enough — who would have thought his fiancée has also become powerful to this degree!”
“Just which female Young Prodigy is her opponent? Her face is so unfamiliar — she doesn’t seem like a Young Prodigy from the outside world! And her cultivation has actually broken through to the Partial-Enlightened Realm. Simply unimaginable.”
The many spectating cultivators trembled in their hearts — not because they were cowardly, but because everything before their eyes was truly too shocking.
Yue Mingkong was already this strong, yet she still couldn’t take down the dragon-horned woman before her.
Suddenly, one cultivator’s eyes went wide as he thought of something, and he couldn’t help sucking in a breath. “This appearance... could she be of the Lost Clans?”
“Haven’t the Lost Clans long since disappeared? No matter how vast the Celestial Ancient Continent is, it’s only a single continent from the Celestial Ancient Times. Could the Lost Clans still be dwelling here?”
Hearing this, the people beside him also shuddered, feeling it was simply inconceivable.
The Lost Clans — as the name implied — were mysterious clans passed down continuously since the Celestial Ancient Times.
If this Celestial Ancient Continent truly had them,
then the other natives were very likely merely their subjects or... slaves.
The Lost Clans had always been mysterious. The myriad ancient races of today were, to varying degrees, bloodline offshoots descended from the Lost Clans.
From this alone one could know how dreadful and terrifying the Lost Clans were.
Of course, the main reason was that within this Celestial Ancient Continent, spiritual energy, fortuitous encounters, and the like were clearly more abundant and rich than in many places in the outside world.
If the Lost Clans existed here, the strength of their younger generation very likely far surpassed that of the outside world’s younger generation.
The dragon-horned woman before them seemed the best proof of this.
She looked only about twenty years old.
Yet her true cultivation had reached the Partial-Enlightened Realm, even surpassing many Young Prodigies of the outside world.
Yue Mingkong naturally heard the nearby cultivators’ words. Her expression didn’t change, but in her heart she had already understood.
As a regressor, she naturally knew that the Lost Clans did indeed exist within the Celestial Ancient Continent.
And the dragon woman before her was precisely one of the finest of the Lost Clans’ younger generation.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been held up for so long.
Yue Mingkong had never expected to encounter the Lost Clans here.
Her opponent flowed with true dragon blood, her physical strength extremely powerful, and the Primeval Dragon of her ancestry was said to have had cultivation surpassing even True Immortals.
As one of the finest among the descendant clans, the dragon woman’s strength obviously couldn’t be weak.
Any other Young Prodigy could not possibly be her match — they would even be crushed.
Moreover, Yue Mingkong knew that within this Celestial Ancient Continent there was a stunningly talented figure named Long Teng, said to possess the makings of a True Dragon.
His strength was incomparably tyrannical, but his temperament was extremely arrogant — he considered himself second under heaven, with no one daring to claim first.
In her previous life, he had left this Celestial Ancient Continent and gone to the outside world to challenge prodigies from all over, never once defeated... and then vanished without a trace.
But in Yue Mingkong’s current view, the reason Long Teng disappeared was, nine times out of ten, that he ran into Gu Changge.
“If there weren’t so many cultivators and some methods weren’t inconvenient to use, how could she have held me up this long...”
Yue Mingkong couldn’t help frowning. At this moment, she still didn’t know the news from Gu Xianer’s side, and was somewhat worried in her heart.
Just then, the dragon woman before her suddenly spoke, using the language of the outside world.
“Outsider, your strength is quite good. If you stood at the same realm as me, I might not be your match.”
“I’ll give you a chance. Submit to our clan’s current successor, Lord Long Teng. He will appreciate a woman like you.”
