The Mysterious Heavenly Tome Emerges—Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things?

Watching this scene, the entire marketplace fell into a hushed, fearful silence.
At this moment, even the members of the An Clan, who were on poor terms with Gu Changge, did not dare step forward to speak up for Jiang Chen.
Because even they felt that Jiang Chen’s actions just now had been utterly brainless—simply stupid, or rather, overthinking things.
He was a man with no power and no influence, possessing at most a bit of Source Master heritage, yet he wanted to incite everyone to covet Gu Changge’s Heavenly Tome.
If that wasn’t courting death, what was?
The others weren’t stupid either. Who would risk offending Gu Changge by standing up with him at a time like this? This so-called righteousness was no different from idiocy.
“Xiao Chenzi, are you alright?”
Niu Tian hurried over to help Jiang Chen up, unable to stop himself from asking worriedly.
He also couldn’t understand why Jiang Chen had stepped forward just now to say those things to Gu Changge.
It was a far cry from the calm and steady Jiang Chen he usually knew.
He felt that Jiang Chen must have been blinded by hatred, which was why he couldn’t resist stepping out to say those words.
Niu Tian didn’t know about what had happened between Jiang Chen and Xiao Ruoyin.
Jiang Chen considered it a humiliation and had never mentioned it to Niu Tian.
“I’m fine.”
Jiang Chen’s whole body throbbed with pain as he struggled to rise from the ground, looking utterly wretched.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head, his heart filled with extraordinary humiliation.
Then, fists clenched tight, he watched Gu Changge—who had treated him with nothing but cold disdain—walk away into the distance. His extremely ugly expression gradually settled into silence. Things had completely exceeded his expectations.
He had originally planned to use this to disgust Gu Changge, to take revenge for Gu Changge stealing the one he loved, but he never imagined that everyone’s reaction would be so completely different from what he had anticipated.
In this world, might makes right. Clearly, his head had been clouded by jealous flames—he had truly been far too naive.
Everyone’s fear of Gu Changge far exceeded his imagination.
“Go rest and recover first. The Ominous Stone among the Seven Divine Rocks still hasn’t appeared.”
An Xi, the Young War Immortal, and the others walked over to express their concern for Jiang Chen.
She had witnessed the entire course of events just now and had not intervened.
Moreover, she knew very well that if she had forcibly intervened, she might very well have ended up the same as Jiang Chen.
Teaching Gu Changge how to do things?
She didn’t know where Jiang Chen had gotten the courage just now. Such words—apart from Jiang Chen, probably no one else would dare say them.
Yet to call Jiang Chen a reckless fool, he had clearly had other plans just now, attempting to stand on the moral high ground to disgust Gu Changge.
That was not something an ordinary person would dare conceive.
“He brought it on himself.”
“That was idiocy.”
The Phoenix Lady, the King of Six Crowns, and the other Young Prodigies glanced at Jiang Chen and shook their heads slightly, clearly quite disdainful as well.
They had already held a skeptical attitude toward this so-called “Source Master.”
After witnessing all of this today, they felt even more that Jiang Chen’s reputation was unearned. How could his actions just now be described as merely stupid?
Even if one were blinded by jealousy, one still wouldn’t say such things.
To many people, what had just happened was nothing more than a small interlude. After this incident, the image of Jiang Chen the Source Master plummeted in the hearts of many.
Especially since, in the eyes of many, Jiang Chen’s actions just now had offended Gu Changge.
Having offended Gu Changge, from now on it would likely be very difficult for him to find footing in the Beyond—many things would be constrained and restricted.
The forces and sects that had originally planned to extend olive branches to Jiang Chen also began to hesitate.
Compared to this matter, the news that the Immortal Foetus among the Seven Divine Rocks had been cut open and a mysterious Heavenly Tome had emerged spread at a terrifying speed that swept across the Beyond, triggering a massive uproar.
All the realms of the Beyond trembled because of this matter, and numerous sects and forces immediately began deliberating.
A mysterious Heavenly Tome cut from a stone worth a hundred Immortal Crystals—how could that possibly be a simple thing?
If the person who had cut out the Heavenly Tome were anyone other than Gu Changge, endless storms of blood and carnage would likely have already erupted by now.
Meanwhile, during this period, some Cultivators noticed a terrifying black demonic cloud, shrouding nearly ten thousand li, rushing from the sea region where Devil Mountain was located toward the area where Kunwu City lay.
A vast, pitch-black mass, blotting out the sky and sun, surging and billowing.
Streaks of black lightning split and slashed through it, Chaos Energy permeated the air, and all kinds of terrifying demonic creatures manifested within—gleaming scales, flowing demonic wings—extremely intimidating.
Since its establishment, Devil Mountain had widely recruited demonic creatures from all realms of the Beyond, and had already become a colossal power that no force or sect dared underestimate.
Especially the master of Devil Mountain, that demoness in red who had emerged from the Demon-Burying Abyss, who had once slaughtered her way through Divine City until all sides trembled with fear.
With the terror of her strength, there was likely no one in the current Beyond who could rival or stand against her.
Thus, many people turned pale at the mere mention of Devil Mountain, dreading it immensely.
Now this terrifying demonic cloud was rolling toward the location of Kunwu City with overwhelming momentum.
This scene caused all the forces and sects to grow wary and shaken in unison, feeling that Devil Mountain seemed intent on interfering in this matter.
After all, after the Divine Rock Conference, the Ji Family would unite with numerous forces and sects to storm Kun Mountain together and rescue their Prime Ancestor, Ji Shengchu.
Could it be that Devil Mountain wanted to cut in and meddle?
Dong—
And just as the various forces and sects were speculating wildly about this matter, a muffled sound suddenly rang out from the depths of Kun Mountain, not far from Kunwu City.
That sound was like the tolling of a giant bell, piercing through time, space, and the ages.
It was also like the beating of a heart, causing every Cultivator who heard it to palpitate and tremble, their very souls nearly leaving their bodies.
Another disturbance came from Kun Mountain, as boundless black light surged up from within, instantly blotting out the sky. From afar, one might even have thought night had fallen.
As for that Ominous Stone, the one once carried out of Kun Mountain on the back of the Great West Holy Land’s Prime Ancestor—
At the same moment, a sinister and terrifying black mist began to seep from its surface, carrying a dense demonic nature. Even highly cultivated experts dared not approach it rashly.
As the most watched stone among the Seven Divine Rocks,
the Ominous Stone had yet to emerge into the world and had been suppressed all along by a Dao Artifact. But at this moment, even the Dao Artifact seemed unable to hold it down.
Upon the stone’s surface, thousands upon thousands of strands of black demonic qi spread and intertwined—so dense that everything within a hundred li of it was transformed into darkness.
Such an abnormal sight made the many ancient existences ordinarily responsible for guarding this stone extremely grave, not daring to be careless.
Meanwhile, at the same time, in Kunwu City, at the Skyward Schloss encampment.
Within an extremely grand palace hall, a woman in white sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, eyes tightly shut, her expression seemingly pained, brows furrowed tight.
Between her brows was an extremely ancient and profound rune, shining brilliantly, reflecting the mingled meanings of nothingness, destiny, and the passage of ages.
Her entire being looked as though carved from jade, her skin crystalline and translucent, exuding holiness and otherworldliness.
Yet there was also an ancient, weathered quality of one who had trekked through the ages—and immortality.
Her aura waxed strong at times and withered at others; her expression shifted between pain and calm.
All these changes manifested upon her at once.
