The Eternal Overcast Prince and Eldest Princess Jia Nan — Please Send More Warm Deliveries Like This
“The Eternal Overcast royal family?”
Gu Changge asked unhurriedly in return.
At the same time, his figure strode forward, a terrifying aura surging out like a blanket covering the sky, pressing down on them until they could barely breathe.
Even after guessing their identities, he didn’t care in the slightest.
What interested Gu Changge more was whether there was a leader among this group of Yin Spirits.
Although the man before him had considerable cultivation, he didn’t look like the one in charge.
“Outsider, what do you intend to do?”
The man clad in purple-gold battle armor watched Gu Changge approach with wariness.
Eternal Overcast energy surfaced in his hand, condensing into a long spear that dripped with Sacred King Realm-level rules.
The might of a Sacred King was truly terrifying.
Yet it was hardly enough to make Gu Changge wary.
The other Yin Spirits behind the man were far weaker than him — there were even some who had only just entered the Sacred Realm.
Boom!
However, Gu Changge paid them no mind, his expression casual. “Perfect timing. I want to see your leader.”
As he raised his hand, brilliant light flared in his palm.
Immediately after, a pitch-black long saber materialized, condensed from all manner of terrifying runes and rules, and swept horizontally forward — its peerless edge seeming capable of splitting apart the universe and the heavens themselves.
The expressions of the many people who had disembarked from the black boat changed drastically.
But there was no time to react.
As the saber fell, everyone was sliced clean in half at the waist, bodies and souls annihilated — not a single one could withstand even a wisp of its edge.
Even the purple-gold-armored man of the Sacred King Realm grunted, the spear in his hand snapping as he coughed up blood and was sent flying backward.
He was utterly horrified, unable to believe it — this was the first time he had ever seen a Human who didn’t fear Eternal Overcast energy, slaughtering freely in this place.
Moreover, facing their entire group, the man showed no fear at all, and even took the initiative to strike them down.
This filled the man with dread.
Just who had they provoked? He had merely extended his divine sense to probe a little.
“Still hiding in there at a time like this?”
Gu Changge’s figure flickered, space freezing, and in the next instant he had already appeared beside the man from before.
Supreme offensive rules circulated along the black saber. Because of the Absolute Detachment Bone, Gu Changge didn’t need to waste time on comprehension.
So although his cultivation was only at the Sacred Lord Realm, his grasp and control of rules far exceeded those of Sacred Kings.
The man before him, though a Sacred King, had still failed to detect the spatial fluctuations Gu Changge displayed.
Pfft!
The black saber descended, sweeping across, indestructible, instantly piercing through him as pale grey blood splattered out.
But his vitality was strong — he didn’t die, only suffered extreme terror and agony, his body flooded with the chaotic laws within the black saber, his flesh unable to heal.
“Ahhh...”
His expression was one of utter horror. The way he looked at Gu Changge was like looking at a devil — more frightened than ordinary Cultivators were of Yin Spirits.
However, Gu Changge’s gaze didn’t even fall on him, as if he didn’t care at all.
“Still not coming out?”
He spoke again, exerting force in his hand, mana surging as saber qi violently pierced through, nearly tearing the man before him apart.
The remaining Yin Spirits witnessed this scene with their own eyes, already horrified to the extreme, chilled from head to toe.
Their awe and terror of Gu Changge was boundless — none dared step forward.
“Royal Sister, save me...”
The purple-gold-armored man, terrified to his limit, cried out toward the small boat behind him in an obscure, difficult language.
He was truly afraid of Gu Changge.
This man simply didn’t reason at all.
Regardless of anything, he came up and grievously wounded him first — and with strength unfathomable and domineering to the extreme, the man still had many tricks he hadn’t had the chance to use.
“What a waste.”
Along with a cold voice devoid of any emotion, another wave of fluctuation came from within the black boat — even vaster and more terrifying than before, like an entire stretch of the firmament crashing down, overturning everything.
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow. “Finally willing to show yourself?”
The black saber in his hand crumbled, and he casually tossed it aside.
Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he pushed out a palm that blotted out the sky, rumbling sounds exploding throughout this space.
Every inch of the void was filled with a dreadful aura and surging rules.
Beneath this palm, numerous terrifying phenomena emerged — mountains and rivers, divine peaks, a Heavenly Court, even the evolution of an entire world.
Boom!
The black boat shook violently, the runes upon it being ground away — even though it came from the Eternal Overcast, it still couldn’t withstand the blow.
“Hmph!”
Along with a cold snort, a saber light suddenly flared — long and dazzling, as if tearing heaven and earth apart.
A figure appeared, dressed in a long black gown, bells tied around her fair, slender ankles.
She was exceptionally tall, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her waist slim, her face lustrous and delicate as jade — but her eyes were cold and noble like a deity’s.
She looked slender and frail, but her strikes were fierce and invincible.
Facing Gu Changge, she directly brought out a black demonic saber, pouring its power forward.
Incomparably brilliant, and incomparably terrifying — the might of a Sacred Emperor shook heaven and earth, nearly shattering this space.
The two attacks collided, and hers effortlessly ground Gu Changge’s strike into nothing, its residual force undiminished as it continued toward him.
“Greetings, Eldest Princess!”
The moment this black-gowned woman appeared, all the surrounding Yin Spirits dropped to their knees in reverence.
Even in the face of the terrifying battle currently unfolding, they paid it no mind, showing her utmost respect.
“What a bunch of useless trash.”
The black-gowned woman said coldly, her words few. The purple-gold-armored man feared her greatly and dared not say another word.
“A true Sacred Emperor — and no ordinary one at that.”
“The cultivation of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom’s emissaries this time isn’t weak.”
Gu Changge raised his brows slightly. The weapon condensed from runes and rules instantly snapped, unable to contend with her.
But he wasn’t worried. His figure flickered as he retreated, yet she swiftly gave chase — fortunately, the space within this rift was incomparably vast.
This black-gowned woman was at least at the fifth or sixth layer of the Sacred Emperor Realm.
Her eyes were cold and lofty — the feeling of a god looking down upon all things.
“Halt!”
She snorted coldly, displaying the methods of a Sacred Emperor, Sealing the Heaven and Earth — space itself was bound as she moved to suppress Gu Changge. But suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out.
A Demon Halberd, its demonic aura surging to the heavens, had at some point come slashing at her from the front. All her seals were instantly broken, causing the black-gowned woman’s pupils to contract.
Quickly, her demonic saber moved to resist — but it emitted a dreadful cracking sound, unable to endure.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t strong.
It was that her opponent’s weapon was terrifying to the extreme — the moment they clashed, a sky-filling killing aura erupted.
This made the black-gowned woman’s expression shift slightly, and she halted her attack.
The young man before her clearly didn’t have very high cultivation, yet he made her feel wariness and danger.
Seeing this, Gu Changge also stopped his assault and spoke unhurriedly, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
The black-gowned woman snorted coldly and answered in the common tongue, “I am the Eldest Daughter of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom’s royal family. Who are you?”
“The Eldest Daughter of the Eternal Overcast royal family? In other words, the Eldest Princess?”
Gu Changge understood in his heart, but didn’t answer her question.
Although the black-gowned woman before him was indeed a Sacred Emperor — and a very powerful one at that, having cultivated for who knew how many years, unfathomably deep —
She still wasn’t enough to make him take her seriously.
What he wanted to know more was why she had left the Eternal Overcast Kingdom and come to the outside world.
Was it coincidence?
Or was it the effect of the Amethyst Fortuity Crown?
“Who are you? Was what you just used the Reincarnation Divine Ability?”
Seeing Gu Changge remain silent, the black-gowned woman frowned and asked coldly.
“Who I am isn’t important.”
“What I want to know is your purpose in coming here.”
Gu Changge had also guessed her purpose — it was clearly related to what he had learned from Yue Mingkong before.
The timeline had indeed moved up.
Soon, a plan formed in his mind. Since the other party intended to find the Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being...
Wasn’t that him?
All these coincidences were only natural.
Of course, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being probably wouldn’t acknowledge him as his successor.
“Who exactly are you?”
Seeing that Gu Changge wouldn’t mention anything about himself at all, the black-gowned woman’s gaze grew even colder and more hostile.
Although she was wary of the incomparably mysterious Gu Changge before her, that didn’t mean she needed to fear him.
This time, leaving the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, she had matters to attend to and didn’t want to stir up trouble in a place like this.
So when facing such a powerful enemy, it was best not to provoke him if it could be avoided.
“How did you tell just now that what I used was the Reincarnation Divine Ability?”
Gu Changge still didn’t answer, instead asking back with a somewhat peculiar expression.
Of course, he had indeed done it deliberately — to see how she would react, and to verify his guess.
“Reincarnation Divine Ability?”
Hearing this, the black-gowned woman’s expression eased slightly. She looked Gu Changge up and down, various divine lights flickering in her godlike, cold eyes as she tried to see through him.
But to her astonishment, she couldn’t even make out Gu Changge’s face.
This kind of method made her feel the situation was somewhat tricky.
She could only guess in her heart whether Gu Changge possessed some secret treasure that could hide his true appearance and mask his aura.
Although the Eternal Overcast Kingdom’s domain was entirely different from the outside world, its cultivation methods and many artifacts and divine abilities ultimately converged with those outside.
Ordinary Cultivators absolutely could not appear within the Eternal Overcast, nor could they display such powerful strength as Gu Changge had.
That good-for-nothing brother of hers had cultivated for so many years and was at least at the Sacred King Realm.
Yet he couldn’t withstand a single exchange, instantly grievously wounded.
“What are you trying to say?” Gu Changge asked indifferently.
“Are you the Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being?”
The black-gowned woman spoke again, her cold tone softening somewhat.
At this moment, she was still somewhat doubtful in her heart.
After all, the purpose of her leaving the Eternal Overcast Kingdom this time was precisely to find the Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
Yet she had only just left, intending to descend to the outside world through this temporarily opened passage.
And right here, she encountered someone who could use the Reincarnation Divine Ability.
Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence?
But apart from the royal family of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, almost no one knew of her purpose this time, so Gu Changge couldn’t possibly have been waiting here for her.
Could all of this really just be coincidence?
Or was her luck simply that good?
“Oh? What if I am, and what if I’m not?” Gu Changge’s eyes were strange as he asked, calm and composed.
And at this moment, he also understood the function of the Amethyst Fortuity Crown...
Although he didn’t know what relationship the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had once had with the Eternal Overcast Kingdom,
The Eternal Overcast Kingdom needed something from him — that was beyond doubt.
If at this moment, the true Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, Ye Ling, were still alive,
And he encountered the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, things likely wouldn’t go so smoothly for him. After all, no matter how strong Ye Ling was, at this point he couldn’t possibly be a match for this Eldest Princess.
Never mind the Eldest Princess — even that purple-gold-armored man of the Sacred King Realm from before could easily suppress Ye Ling.
But Gu Changge was different. He could easily negotiate terms with the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, even demand a hefty price.
This would be of enormous help to Gu Changge’s future control over the Absolute Yin Heaven.
“So this is the effect of the Amethyst Fortuity Crown...”
He thought to himself, his gaze falling upon the black-gowned woman as he began pondering how to first fleece her for a fortune.
The founding of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom was actually inseparable from the Source of the Eternal Overcast.
And that happened to be something he desperately needed right now.
Judging from the current situation, the black-gowned woman before him was also quite wary of him, unwilling to speak lightly of many matters.
But Gu Changge was in no hurry.
“It seems you really are the Successor of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being. Apart from his successor, no one can use the Reincarnation Divine Ability.”
“Rest assured, I mean no harm.”
The black-gowned woman spoke again, her tone much gentler than before.
To show her sincerity, she even withdrew her Sacred Emperor’s might.
Hearing this, Gu Changge raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully. “I did indeed obtain quite a bit of inheritance from the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being. If you call me his successor, that would be fair enough.”
Although the black-gowned woman didn’t know why Gu Changge put it that way,
From those words, she understood that the Gu Changge before her was the person she was looking for, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
As for why Gu Changge appeared in this place — that wasn’t something she needed to concern herself with.
“Eldest Princess!”
“Royal Sister...”
The black boat sped over from the distance, parting the vast Grey Fog as it rushed over. When the black-gowned woman and Gu Changge had clashed earlier, they had instantly moved tens of thousands of miles away.
The many Yin Spirits aboard, including the purple-gold-armored man from before, had no idea what had happened.
Why had the two who were fighting suddenly stopped?
“How about you and I make a deal?” The black-gowned woman paid no mind to those behind her and spoke directly.
Gu Changge was equally direct. “What deal?”
“Actually, the reason I left the Eternal Overcast Kingdom this time was to find you. Back then, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being left behind the Reincarnation Method...”
The black-gowned woman had a straightforward personality, so she simply told Gu Changge her purpose frankly, without beating around the bush.
If Gu Changge refused, she would have no choice but to resort to a more forceful approach.
“You don’t need to tell me these things — I’m not interested. I only want to know what deal you want to make with me.”
However, to the black-gowned woman’s slight surprise, her expression stalling for a moment, Gu Changge interrupted her, unwilling to hear her explanation.
This kind of personality surprised her somewhat.
Was he too confident in himself, or did Gu Changge only have profit in his eyes?
“My clan needs the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being to forge a Reincarnation Platform for us. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s whereabouts are now unknown, his life or death uncertain, so at present, this matter can only be brought to you.”
“As for the terms — anything my Eternal Overcast Kingdom can provide, we can deliver. Even helping you annihilate great sects and orthodoxies would be no problem at all,” the black-gowned woman said, a trace of pride in her tone.
“Forge a Reincarnation Platform?” Gu Changge understood in his heart. Such a matter involved the secrets of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom.
The black-gowned woman certainly wouldn’t tell him, but he didn’t much care.
What Gu Changge valued was merely the benefits the Eternal Overcast Kingdom could bring him.
Annihilating other orthodoxies and great sects?
That was quite a bold claim, but considering the peculiar nature of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, they might actually be able to pull it off.
“No problem. I accept this deal.” Gu Changge didn’t hesitate. For this kind of warm-hearted gift delivered from billions of miles away, he only wanted to say — please send more.
“You accept?” The black-gowned woman was somewhat stunned, not expecting him to agree so quickly.
But since Gu Changge had agreed, things would be easy to handle.
Afterward, the two directly swore oaths upon their Dao Hearts, each in the most severe manner — the most terrifying of oaths. Even Yin Spirits had things they needed to fear, and the black-gowned woman was no exception.
She harbored no ulterior motives, so naturally there was no possibility of deception.
And needless to say, Gu Changge once again swore upon that Dao Heart of his that had been sworn upon who-knew-how-many times.
As for the consequences, he naturally made them up on the spot — the harsher the better, since they couldn’t possibly affect him anyway.
Seeing Gu Changge’s sincere attitude, nothing like a pretense, and hearing the many consequences of breaking the oath — enough to make her back go cold —
The black-gowned woman also set her mind at ease, and even developed some goodwill toward Gu Changge. Such a straightforward and decisive personality suited her tastes well.
“Then shouldn’t we fulfill the deal now?”
Gu Changge then looked at her and said.
The black-gowned woman nodded, not knowing what demands Gu Changge might have.
“My name is Jia Nan. May I know how to address you?” She took the initiative to introduce herself.
