Women Are Actually Quite Simple, the Successor of Demonic Arts Reappears in the World

The Beyond’s grand army returned in triumph, and after the various sects and orthodoxies had arranged everything.

The vast torrent shuttled through the universe, one Ancient Battleship after another streaking across the sky, leaving the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains and returning to the various heavens of the Beyond.

Unlike the grand momentum of their departure, although the Beyond’s army had returned in triumph this time, they had not found the thing that the various orthodoxies and forces had wanted to find.

This was also a regret in the hearts of many ancient existences.

Of course, they would not give up either, and still dispatched their clansmen to search everywhere across the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.

Only a small number of people knew of Luo Feng’s existence.

And besides the First Mountain Elder, only Gu Changge knew that he was the Ancestor of Wind who had once stolen the Tree of Epoch.

So in Gu Changge’s view, the various clans and orthodoxies would ultimately return empty-handed.

After staying in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains for several months, having completely refined the Sources of numerous True Daoists, and with his cultivation already reaching the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, Gu Changge set off to leave, planning to return to the Beyond.

The Sky Deer Goddess had now transformed, in the eyes of the countless living beings and Cultivators of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, into Gu Changge’s exclusive spokesperson.

Her status in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains had not been affected in the slightest by her initial surrender.

On the contrary, it rose with the tide, and the various great clans and great domains held her in even greater awe.

After all, everyone had now chosen to surrender, so there was no question of who looked down on whom.

After returning to the Beyond, Gu Changge felt that his days had suddenly become much more leisurely.

He understood that this was because his cultivation realm had now reached another level entirely, and he no longer needed to scheme at every moment like before.

With his cultivation at the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, even if he concealed part of his strength, he could easily slay True Daoists.

Not to mention the many terrifying methods and trump cards he still possessed.

So in the current Beyond, he could act completely unbridled, with nothing to concern himself over.

Even if he encountered a True Daoist, the other party would likely be somewhat wary of him, not ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠daring to provoke him lightly.

So Gu Changge made a trip to the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty and spent some time with Yue Mingkong.

Along the way, he also sent over quite a few rare Supreme Treasures, resources, and other items obtained from this campaign in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.

Compared to his leisure, Yue Mingkong was much busier. After all, the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty was simply too vast, its territory boundlessly immense.

Although her methods were forceful and iron-blooded, it was still difficult for her to take the entire Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty into her grasp in a short time.

There were many things she had to do every day.

Moreover, after Gu Changge arrived, she had to squeeze out time every night to accompany him. In her own words, she could not leave Gu Changge out in the cold.

Of course, a large part of the reason was also that she had not seen Gu Changge for some time, and she could hardly suppress the longing in her heart, wishing she could throw aside all her many affairs and stay by his side.

“Speaking of which, you took a Concubine in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains?”

Upon the immortal couch, the curtains were like clouds, immortal mist drifting ethereally.

Yue Mingkong’s dark hair was soft and smooth, cascading down loosely. Her eyes were cool and clear as she turned her head to look at Gu Changge, asking in a very calm tone.

Hearing this, Gu Changge looked at her as she pillowed her head on his arm, and smiled, “It’s nothing more than a rumor. She needed a suitable identity.”

“Any identity would do, yet it had to be Concubine?”

Yue Mingkong shook her head gently, “Is that woman beautiful?” Her words were very calm, seemingly without any fluctuation of emotion.

However, Gu Changge felt that she was still a bit jealous. It seemed that after not seeing each other for some time, even someone of Yue Mingkong’s temperament could not help but knock over a jar of vinegar over such a small matter.

In his impression, although Yue Mingkong was somewhat forceful and domineering, she would not ask such boring questions.

But considering whether she might kick him off the bed in a moment, Gu Changge thought about it and still smiled,

“She is quite beautiful, the number one beauty of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.”

“Hm?” Yue Mingkong’s eyebrows rose, and her tone could not help but rise a few notches.

“But compared to you, she’s still far behind.”

“What are you being jealous about?” Before she could make a move to drive him off, Gu Changge continued with a smile.

Hearing these words, Yue Mingkong gave him a slight roll of her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling up in a faint arc. She actually did not care what that woman looked like, nor did she care about Gu Changge’s attitude toward her.

She simply wanted to hear Gu Changge say such words to her.

In Gu Changge’s view, women like Yue Mingkong and Jiang Chuchu were actually very simple, because they liked him enough.

Sometimes, he did not even need to deceive them—they would deceive themselves.

Of course, that being said, it did not mean Gu Changge would actually go and deceive them about anything.

In his view, the Sky Deer Goddess was indeed far inferior compared to Yue Mingkong.

“There’s still no clue about the Sword of World Domination. It will probably take some more time.” Afterwards, Yue Mingkong spoke softly, knowing of the other matter Gu Changge currently cared about.

Although after her rebirth, the entire timeline of the Beyond had changed considerably, and even the events in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains differed greatly from her memories.

That did not prevent her from dispatching people during this time to investigate the whereabouts of the master of the Sword of World Domination.

Regarding this matter, she was actually not too worried.

Because in her memories, that master of the Sword of World Domination ultimately died tragically at Gu Changge’s hands.

The Sword of World Domination ultimately fell into Gu Changge’s possession.

She did not even need to intervene excessively—the Sword of World Domination would ultimately be obtained by Gu Changge.

Of course, these were things she could not possibly tell Gu Changge.

“The matter of the Sword of World Domination is not urgent, and the Immortal Palace Treasury is not urgent at this moment either.” Hearing this, Gu Changge shook his head with a smile.

After staying in the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty for several months, he took the time to visit the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect to check on the current Lin Qiuhan.

This woman whom he had once brought up from the Overworld had now blossomed with the most dazzling radiance, her talent in the Dao of Alchemy brought to its utmost.

The Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect’s status in the Beyond was not low, especially when it came to the art of Alchemy—its network of connections was complex, and the forces it dealt with were deeply intertwined.

Lin Qiuhan was now already the Young Sect Master, her attainments in the Dao of Alchemy far surpassing those of many elders.

At Gu Changge’s arrival, the entire Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect was shaken, and even some old monsters who had never shown themselves before personally appeared to welcome him.

The many rumors about Gu Changge from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains had long since spread throughout the Beyond.

Many disciples of the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect gazed at Gu Changge with fervent, worshipful eyes.

Many people also knew that the current Young Sect Master of the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect, Lin Qiuhan, had been personally delivered by Gu Changge back then.

With this connection, the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect was naturally extremely close to Gu Changge. Lin Qiuhan wore a long blue dress, her jade-like face flawless, her hair like clouds, her figure tall and graceful, beautiful and moving, her whole person exuding a noble and elegant temperament.

In Gu Changge’s view, compared to when she had first arrived in the Beyond, the change in her now was so great it could be called a complete rebirth.

This also left him quite satisfied.

The Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect had done a fine job as the honest caretaker.

“Young Master...”

Lin Qiuhan had not expected Gu Changge to actually come to the Violet Supreme Alchemy ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Sect today to see her.

This made her both surprised and delighted, her head even feeling a little dizzy.

She had thought Gu Changge was still over in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains and had not returned to the Beyond.

Or could it be that after Gu Changge returned to the Beyond, he came to see her first?

During this time, she had been listening to all the various rumors about Gu Changge, admiring and venerating him to the utmost.

It had even made her feel inferior for a time.

“It seems you’ve been doing quite well during this time.”

“That puts me at ease.” Gu Changge nodded slightly, a smile on his face.

Afterwards, Lin Qiuhan happily recounted to Gu Changge all the various happenings of this period, and the many elders of the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect tactfully took their leave.

Gu Changge, however, noticed quite a few distinguished-looking young men in the shadows, their eyes full of dejection as they departed.

As for these people who were obviously Lin Qiuhan’s suitors at a glance, he had nothing to be concerned about.

Smart people knew what they should do at a time like this.

“Your progress is quite fast. The last time I saw you, your cultivation had not yet reached the Enlightenment Realm, and now you’re almost at the Sacred Realm.”

Gu Changge listened to all the things Lin Qiuhan spoke of, a perfectly measured, gentle smile on his face the whole time.

Answering from time to time, just like the scene when Lin Qiuhan had first met him back then.

At the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect, Gu Changge had all along had Lin Qiuhan keep an eye out for the formula of the Violet Supreme Alchemy Pill.

Now he heard her bring it up, though only the Sect Master was qualified to access such a formula.

She had currently only heard the Sect Master mention a few sentences about it.

After staying at the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect for several days, Lin Qiuhan also rarely cooked personally, making quite a few delicacies for Gu Changge.

Not only was her talent in Alchemy extremely outstanding, her skills in cooking, the Dao of Tea, and other areas were also beyond reproach.

It was just that ever since coming to the Beyond, she had no longer touched these things.

Fortunately, Gu Changge’s expression was very satisfied, which made Lin Qiuhan extremely happy and delighted.

After leaving the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect, Gu Changge returned to the Gu Family.

Earlier, after Gu Xianer left the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains and returned to Peach Village, her whereabouts became unknown—no one knew in what remote corner she had gone into secluded cultivation.

Because of Tao Yao, Gu Changge did not go to Peach Village.

The last time he went to Peach Village was because he wanted to probe the matter of Chan Hongyi.

However, Gu Changge felt that Tao Yao’s memories seemed somewhat fragmented, incomplete.

That time, Tao Yao had only spoken a few words to probe him, very uncertain about his identity.

So before resolving the matter of Chan Hongyi, Gu Changge had no plans to make contact with Tao Yao.

Speaking of Chan Hongyi, however, surprised Gu Changge somewhat. During this time, she had actually established a force called Devil Mountain. Demonic clouds shrouded millions of miles, and the entire sea region had transformed into ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a sinister demonic domain, filled with chaotic aura and shattered Great Dao rules.

That place had practically become a new life-forbidden zone.

Many demons who wreaked havoc across the lands flocked to join, with Chan Hongyi at their head, causing quite a few forces and orthodoxies to be wary.

Many people still remembered the terrifying scene of Chan Hongyi slaughtering in all directions and bathing the world in blood after emerging from the Demon-Burying Abyss.

Afterwards, the various orthodoxies and great sects dispatched experts to besiege and kill her outside the Divine City, only to be almost entirely annihilated, with very few escaping alive.

Her strength was unfathomable, unimaginable, powerful beyond measure.

Because of this matter, many orthodoxies and great sects were extremely wary of Chan Hongyi.

Unless absolutely necessary, they truly did not want to provoke her too much.

“It seems Chan Hongyi has recovered quite a bit of her senses now, much clearer-headed...”

Gu Changge narrowed his eyes, feeling that the last time Chan Hongyi left his Inner Universe, her mind had already recovered considerably—she had even poisoned him.

All the signs indicated that Chan Hongyi would not give up her revenge against him so easily.

It was just that he still did not know what Chan Hongyi would do now.

The entire Beyond was celebrating the smooth success of the campaign against the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.

The war had dragged on for countless years, the flames of war unceasing, never-ending. In this era, it could be considered to have finally drawn to a close.

The matter of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, while not exactly an external threat.

Still, one less trouble was one less trouble. What now lay before the various orthodoxies, forces, and great sects of the Beyond was the calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven emerging in various places.

This matter could be called an internal affliction, and its impact was even more severe and enormous.

Of course, another matter that occurred during this time also caused quite a stir across the various heavens of the Beyond.

In the eyes of many, its harmfulness even exceeded that of the Absolute Yin Heaven, and a way had to be found to curb it in advance.

The Successor of Demonic Arts, who had hidden his tracks for a long time, reappeared in the world, and suddenly attacked the Successor of War Immortal Manor.

In that battle, the Successor of War Immortal Manor nearly perished. Fortunately, his Dao Protector discovered it in time and rescued him, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.

But even so, the Successor of War Immortal Manor suffered heavy injuries, his Source damaged.

This ancient freak who had participated in the campaign against the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains was, in the eyes of many, even one of the strongest of the current younger generation apart from Gu Changge.

His strength could be called matchlessly powerful, and ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠he had shone brilliantly during the campaign against the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.

Yet even he had nearly perished at the hands of the Successor of Demonic Arts.

This matter caused a huge uproar, and quite a few orthodoxies and great sects were enraged by it.

The many forces whose disciples or successors had died tragically at the hands of the Successor of Demonic Arts had their fury reignited at this moment, and they planned to search everywhere for the whereabouts of the Successor of Demonic Arts.

Previously, many people had thought the Successor of Demonic Arts intended to vanish from the world entirely, hiding his tracks and no longer bringing calamity upon the world.

But unexpectedly, after several years, he struck again, nearly killing an ancient freak.

This matter left people horrified, their hair standing on end for a time.

After all, the Successor of Demonic Arts was someone who had escaped with his life from Gu Changge’s hands several times—how could he possibly be simple?
