More Than Just Wonderful — The Prime Ancestor Is Returning
More Than Just Wonderful — The Prime Ancestor Is Returning
After verifying the idea in his heart, Gu Changge didn’t bother with it any further.
Anyway, with a cheat on his side, and being no fool himself, no matter what kind of Fortuitous One he ran into down the road, there would always be a way to deal with them.
Take Ye Chen — even with the Heavenly Path helping him, wasn’t he still being played to death in the palm of Gu Changge’s hand?
Even Su Qingge, the goddess he had always admired, had completely fallen out with him and become Gu Changge’s woman.
His final reliance, that shifu of his named Yan Ji, would sooner or later be his for the taking as well.
This feeling of having everything under control — how could a single word like “wonderful” possibly suffice?
Thinking of all this, a trace of a smile couldn’t help but appear on Gu Changge’s face as he made his way down to the lower deck of the flying vessel.
It was much livelier down here.
The many young prodigies of the Eastern Barren were all chatting away, some even sparring on the spot to test their Dao techniques against one another.
“Gongzi seems to be in a rather good mood today?”
Su Qingge followed at Gu Changge’s side as he came down.
Her flawless, gem-like eyes blinked slightly, somewhat surprised by the smile on his face.
In her view, Gu Changge rarely ever showed such a natural smile.
Normally he was not only deep and unreadable, but also full of wicked little hobbies.
Teasing and toying with her had practically become his daily routine.
This man was rotten to the core.
“Naturally, I’m in a good mood.”
Gu Changge replied offhandedly, “Tell me about the Middle State — which powers on this map are worth paying attention to?”
During this period, he had noticed that Su Qingge’s Fortuity points had risen quite a bit again, already approaching four hundred.
As a result, his own Fortuity points had conveniently risen quite a bit as well.
In some mysterious way, he was actually receiving Fortuity’s blessing too?
This discovery had left Gu Changge pondering for quite a while.
In the end, the problem traced back to Su Qingge.
It seemed Su Qingge still had some little secrets she hadn’t told him.
After all, whose Fortuity points just rose out of nowhere for no reason?
Still, Gu Changge didn’t ask. It didn’t affect him anyway.
Everyone had their own little secrets.
Hearing this, Su Qingge nodded. She had deliberately gathered a great deal of information about the Middle State, waiting precisely for the moment Gu Changge would ask her.
“The Middle State is divided into eight great domains, of which the Central Sky Domain is the most vast and prosperous. The Great Conference that the Third Prince of the Great Xia Empire invited you to is also being held in the Central Sky Domain...”
“A Great Conference of that level doesn’t match Gongzi’s status. You can just treat it as a joke,” Chu Xuan, who had hurried over to pay his respects, quickly chimed in with a laugh.
The many young prodigies in the distance could only smile bitterly at these words. This Great Conference was something they had waited ages for, preparing to make their names known across the world.
“I have no interest in the Great Conference.”
Gu Changge was indeed rather indifferent toward it.
He had come here only to take back what was his, and to harvest another crop of Fortuitous One leeks while he was at it.
Watch a bunch of Overworld prodigies debate the Dao?
How boring would that be?
Showing off in such a low-class manner would only lower his own prestige.
...
Meanwhile, as the flying vessel carrying Gu Changge sped all the way toward the lands of the Middle State—
Middle State, Central Sky Domain.
The seat of the Ancient Lin Family.
As one of the ancient clans of the Middle State, the Lin Family had stood firm in the Central Sky Domain for tens of thousands of years without falling.
The Founding Ancestor who had single-handedly established the Lin Family thirty thousand years ago had even shattered the void and successfully ascended to the Beyond, becoming a figure of legend.
It was precisely because of this that the Lin Family had become one of the most powerful ancient clans.
Even certain empires and Holy Lands with older, more ancient legacies regarded them with deep wariness.
And at this very moment, in an ancestral hall deep within the Lin Family grounds, candlelight flickered and the lighting was dim, yet the atmosphere was anything but peaceful.
“What’s happened?”
“Why would the Great Elder suddenly summon all of us?”
A large crowd of elders appeared here, their expressions grave and puzzled.
Among them was even the current head of the Lin Family.
They were all true upper echelons of the Lin Family — powerful in cultivation, high in position and authority, figures whose mere stomp could shake the outside world.
But right now, they clearly had no idea what had happened — something that had actually alarmed the Great Elder, who had been in secluded cultivation within the clan grounds all this time, prompting him to summon every one of them.
What’s more, the Great Elder hadn’t appeared for nearly ten thousand years, his cultivation unfathomably deep.
Many clansmen had even assumed he had already passed away in meditation.
Now that the Great Elder had shown himself again, what could have happened?
Everyone was full of doubt as they looked at the vigorous, white-haired yet youthful-faced old man before them.
None other than the current Great Elder of the Lin Family.
“We greet the Great Elder.”
“May we know why the Great Elder has summoned us?”
Everyone spoke up one after another, thoroughly puzzled.
Unless something major had occurred, it was impossible for everyone to be called together like this.
Could it be that the Great Elder’s cultivation had broken through? That he had hopes of ascension?
At this moment, seeing that everyone had arrived, the Great Elder finally spoke — though his expression was somewhat strange.
It was excitement. One could even call it trembling.
Soon, he forced himself to calm down, and with a voice that quivered slightly, he said,
“Today... I sensed the aura of the Prime Ancestor...”
“The Prime Ancestor may be returning!”
The moment these words fell, the entire ancestral hall went dead silent.
What?!
Once they processed it, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Had they heard wrong?
The Prime Ancestor who had ascended to the Beyond thirty thousand years ago... was actually returning?
How was that possible?
One had to know that ascension was already an incredibly difficult feat — let alone descending to the Overworld, the difficulty of which increased by tens of thousands of times over, something practically impossible to achieve.
Or could it be that the Prime Ancestor had already broken through to an inconceivable realm? That he could now tear through space at will, and was preparing to guide the entire clan up to the Beyond?
The moment this thought occurred to them, everyone couldn’t help but grow excited, their faces flushing red.
The Prime Ancestor — a legendary figure from thirty thousand years ago!
The Lin Family’s current power and glory could be credited entirely to the Prime Ancestor’s contributions!
Since these words came from the Great Elder’s own mouth, how could they possibly doubt them?
At this moment, every single person was incomparably excited and thrilled.
“Wonderful, wonderful! With the Prime Ancestor’s return, our Lin Family is bound to become even more glorious and powerful...”
“Hahaha, we must spread word of this far and wide, let every power in the Middle State know that our Lin Family’s Prime Ancestor has returned!”
“When that happens, the Great Xia Empire, the Karura Holy Land, and all the other powers will have to come pay their respects! Our Lin Family’s prestige will shake the entire Middle State, unmatched by anyone!”
Hearing these words, the Great Elder was very satisfied. He nodded slightly, stroked his beard with a smile, and said, “That would be excellent. In addition, notify all clansmen to prepare to welcome the Prime Ancestor’s return.”
“Our Lin Family shall create glory once more!”
