Scheming Against the Entire Beyond, the Situation Begins to Tip
Scheming Against the Entire Beyond, the Situation Begins to Tip
At the entrance of Peach Village, white mist surged, blurring everything into a haze.
Tao Yao had manifested her true form, her dress fluttering, her hair like a waterfall—a beauty unmatched in her generation.
“Whether she comes to see me or not, it’s all the same. If she wanted to see me, she would come on her own.”
Her expression grew somewhat dazed for a moment, then she recovered and gently shook her head.
She was naturally aware of Chan Hongyi escaping from the Demon-Burying Abyss, slaughtering her way through all sides, and establishing Devil Mountain on her own.
It was just that she had always been lazy by nature, long accustomed to staying in this little place called Peach Village, not even wanting to take half a step out of the Land of Abandoned Celestials.
How many epochs, how many years had passed since the Forbidden Epoch until now?
Tao Yao had almost forgotten. Her old friends of the past—were they still the same people they once were?
Besides, Chan Hongyi should be able to sense her aura and know that she had not perished.
If she truly wanted to see her, then in the current Beyond, there weren’t many who could stop her footsteps.
“Is that so?” Changge raised his cup and drank, smiling faintly. “She’s quite busy seeking revenge against me these days, so naturally she has no time to come looking for you.”
“What exactly happened back then...”
Hearing this, Tao Yao fell silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Changge and couldn’t help but ask softly.
In the end, she still voiced the doubt in her heart.
This was something she had never been able to understand.
To Chan Hongyi, Changge was the person she respected and admired most—both teacher and father to her.
And although Changge had been strict and severe with her, he had never let her suffer any grievance.
Tao Yao didn’t know why Chan Hongyi, who had once loved Changge to the bone, would ultimately choose to turn her blade against him.
That battle had truly been too terrifying.
Even with her cultivation realm back then, she had felt deep dread, as insignificant as an ant.
The Heavenly Path collapsed, myriad tribulations descended, and even the River of Time crumbled into chaos.
All worlds were destroyed; the immortal and eternal Immortal Palace was ruined, falling into oblivion from then on.
Entire epochs were buried and annihilated. Later generations could only speak of it with dread, referring to it as the Forbidden.
“If I said I can’t remember now, would you believe me?”
Hearing this question, Gu Changge didn’t seem surprised at all. He smiled and asked.
“If it were the you of back then, you wouldn’t speak to me like this.”
Hearing his words, Tao Yao also smiled gently, her already peerlessly beautiful figure appearing even more otherworldly and transcendent.
Back when she was still a small peach tree, she had also conversed with Gu Changge just like tonight.
Only back then, he was like the distant moon, an untouchable wind, while she was just a tiny speck of dust, only able to gaze up at him in silence.
“It seems something unimaginable must have happened for things to turn out this way.”
Tao Yao shook her head gently with a sigh, feeling somewhat regretful and emotional about it.
After she awakened, she had paid an enormous price to slowly recover her memories.
If not for Tiantian, she might still be in a hazy, muddled state even now.
Gu Changge had once been such an unspeakable, inconceivable existence—if he wanted to recover, the price would likely be even more unimaginable.
“The Beyond is about to fall into great chaos, and I will be leaving soon. Perhaps by then the Celestial Domain and the Beyond will merge, or perhaps an even greater opportunity will arrive,” Gu Changge took another sip of wine, his words drifting leisurely.
Originally, he had thought Tao Yao might be able to sense something, even just fragments of the future.
But judging from her reaction now, it seemed she had no desire to meddle in outside affairs, not even wanting to take half a step out of Peach Village.
“You came to find me—it can’t just be for reminiscing and saying all this, can it?”
How could Tao Yao not hear the meaning in Gu Changge’s words? She fell silent for a moment before asking.
Gu Changge smiled approvingly and said, “It’s actually nothing major. I just want you to do me a favor.”
“What matter could possibly require my help?” Tao Yao was rather intrigued by this. Although her current cultivation had indeed surpassed the shackles of this world,
that didn’t mean she could unleash power beyond the Celestial Realm.
Gu Changge’s current methods were absolutely even more terrifying than hers.
If even he couldn’t resolve something, what help could she possibly offer?
“I want you to help me guard something. To be precise, help me guard an ancient world,” Gu Changge said slowly.
Hearing this, Tao Yao was even more astonished. With her strength, let alone guarding an ancient world, even guarding a Cult of Immortality or a Supreme Dao Lineage would be more than within her power.
Besides, why would Gu Changge ask her to do this?
Was there anyone left in this world who dared oppose him, who dared lay hands on an ancient world he wished to protect?
Gu Changge wasn’t surprised by Tao Yao’s reaction. He nodded and said, “I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I feel your identity makes you the most suitable choice.”
In truth, he had been planning to scheme against the entire Beyond for a very long time.
What he wanted Tao Yao to help him guard was nothing else—it was the Epoch Dao Fruit.
Time-wise, the Epoch Dao Fruit’s maturation was just around the corner.
Gu Changge planned to use this Epoch Dao Fruit as bait to lure out the strongest hidden aces of the various Dao Lineages of the Beyond, to help him take his final step.
This plan wasn’t complicated to describe, but the only thing to be careful about was deceiving everyone—
especially those peerless old monsters who had cultivated for tens of millions of years, or who had sealed themselves away since several epochs ago.
They were the strongest hidden foundations of the various Dao Lineage powers.
Although they couldn’t step into the Celestial Realm, if they truly faced a Celestial Realm existence, they weren’t necessarily without means.
In their own eras, they too had been stunningly brilliant, unparalleled through the ages, existences no one could compare to.
Not only was their strength terrifying, but their minds were heaven-defying. The slightest irregularity would arouse their suspicion, and they could even deduce flaws from it.
So Gu Changge had to be careful. To achieve a truly flawless deception,
he not only needed to find an extremely ancient world, but also needed to bury the Epoch Dao Fruit within it, letting word leak out to draw those big fish into the net.
Among this, the role Tao Yao needed to play was to put those peerless old monsters at ease.
After all, as the Epoch Dao Fruit, how could it lack a guardian?
Tao Yao was a figure from the Forbidden Era. The aura clinging to her inherently represented the unknown and the ominous—who could possibly deduce her origins and background?
On the other hand, the Epoch Dao Fruit had vanished from the Beyond for countless years.
It was for this very reason that the Beyond had waged war against the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains for so many epochs, believing the Epoch Dao Fruit had been lost there.
Unfortunately, after conquering the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains in this era, the various immortal Dao Lineages and supreme great sects of the Beyond turned the entire region upside down, yet never found the slightest trace of the Epoch Dao Fruit.
Now, with all sorts of news about the Celestial Path emerging, word of the Epoch Dao Fruit was also leaking out.
Could those deepest-hidden peerless old monsters and most powerful ancient existences of the Beyond still sit still?
“I understand.”
Tao Yao fell silent, not asking Gu Changge for his reasons.
Even if she refused, she knew Gu Changge definitely had ways to make her agree.
Whether in the past or now, Gu Changge had never been the soft-hearted type—he wouldn’t show the slightest mercy just because of their old friendship.
“Relax, I’m only borrowing a wisp of your Dao aura. If you don’t want to leave, that’s fine too,” Gu Changge said casually.
He hadn’t yet found a suitable ancient world.
So next, he still had to make a trip to the Eternal Overcast Kingdom to retrieve the Source of the Eternal Overcast.
After that, things would be even simpler.
Gu Changge only needed to completely refine and fuse that suitable ancient world with the palm-sized true world he had obtained, turning it into a nation within his palm.
Even if a True Daoist, or even a Remnant Immortal, stepped inside, they could only sink into eternal damnation, their body perishing and Dao extinguished.
Weren’t the various Dao Lineages of the Beyond secretly plotting to move against him?
Then Gu Changge would prepare this enormous “surprise” for them in advance.
Over the following days, Gu Changge stayed in Peach Village, sometimes bickering with Gu Xianer, sometimes taking Tiantian around for strolls, sometimes chatting with Tao Yao at the village entrance about matters of the Forbidden Epoch.
Xianer’s many shifus also grew quite familiar with him. Sometimes, when discussing questions about cultivation, they would even debate for half a day.
In certain aspects, some of Gu Changge’s words gave them the feeling of clouds parting to reveal the sun.
By this point, they no longer believed Gu Changge would harm Gu Xianer. Instead, they began speculating about Gu Changge’s true identity.
If he was really just a member of the younger generation, they wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death.
What member of the younger generation could possess an understanding and mastery of the Dao that left even them shocked,
in disbelief, and even filled with awe?
They were more inclined to believe that Gu Changge was the reincarnation of some inconceivable supreme figure,
whose peak cultivation was unfathomable—a King among Immortals, an Emperor among Immortals, even an Ancestor among Immortals!
And while Gu Changge stayed in Peach Village these days, the Beyond was also experiencing shifting winds and surging undercurrents.
Much news about Nether, Pagoda, and the recently risen Nephrite Breeze Pavilion,
spread by those with ulterior motives, rapidly swept across the heavens of the Beyond.
Every day, in every ancient city, cultivators and living beings could be seen discussing the matter, along with the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion’s path of rise.
Many people were saying that Young Master Changge was actually the master behind the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion,
that he had been secretly supporting this assassin organization, which was why it had moved against Nether and Pagoda.
In the taverns, many young prodigies gathered, each one shrouded in divine radiance, their auras powerful.
They too were discussing this matter, all quite enthusiastic, deeply interested in everything about Gu Changge.
Judging by all the current signs, Gu Changge was absolutely inseparable from the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion,
sharing deep ties with it.
Therefore, some Dao Lineage powers were calling for everyone to locate the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion’s headquarters and, just like with Nether, annihilate it completely to eliminate future trouble, unwilling to let it develop further.
Of course, there were also cultivators and beings who remained skeptical about this.
If Gu Changge truly wanted the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion to dominate alone, why wouldn’t he continue moving against Pagoda, the other assassin nation?
Many felt that Gu Changge must share some irresolvable hatred with Nether.
But under the deliberate suppression of the various Dao Lineages and great sects, such voices were very faint, unable to stir up much of a wave.
“Actually, this is all a minor matter. The Nephrite Breeze Pavilion has only emerged in the last few thousand years. If it truly wants to grow to rival Nether, it’s far too early for that.
On the contrary, there’s another matter that, in my view, is far more important.”
Within the pavilion, a prodigy shook his head and analyzed softly.
His figure was tall, his eyes golden, with traces of cross-shaped Principles of Dao flowing within them, his aura mysterious.
The others treated him with great respect, and hearing these words, they couldn’t help but be somewhat astonished,
all turning to look at him.
“May I know why Daoxiong Jin Yun asserts this?”
A heavenly beauty asked in a delicate voice, her eyes gleaming with brilliant colors.
The man before them was a forbidden prodigy from ancient times,
who had only broken out of divine source in this epoch. He came from the Cult of Immortality, Purple Cloud Valley, and his strength was extremely terrifying, comparable to the likes of the King of Six Crowns Jun, Tian Yuanwen, and Jin Chan the Chosen Monk—a giant-level figure among the current younger generation, second only to Gu Changge.
His words naturally carried more weight.
“Actually, you’ve all overlooked a very important point, but I believe the powers behind you should have given you some instructions.”
The forbidden prodigy named Jin Yun lifted his wine cup and shook his head gently.
A strange gleam flashed through his eyes as he recalled Purple Cloud Valley’s instructions, and he spoke unhurriedly.
Although he himself had never come into contact with Gu Changge,
he heard rumors about him almost every day—his ears were practically growing calluses from it.
Proud at heart and firmly believing in his own invincibility, he had waited until this era to emerge,
actually to temper himself, hoping to touch the legendary Celestial Realm.
But Gu Changge’s existence had made him deeply doubtful about this—about himself.
“Is Daoxiong Jin Yun referring to... Young Master Changge actually being the true Successor of Demonic Arts?”
Hearing Jin Yun’s words, the pavilion fell silent for an instant, and everyone’s expressions turned unnatural.
Actually, it wasn’t just them.
Everywhere now, such news was appearing, saying that Gu Changge was actually the true Successor of Demonic Arts,
only that he had hidden it too deeply, never revealing any flaws.
Otherwise, how could one explain him reaching such an inconceivable level at such an age?
One must know that even ancient records wouldn’t dare record such a thing.
However, the many prodigies present weren’t fools. They wouldn’t blindly follow along; they had their own thoughts.
From the perspective of the younger generation, they truly couldn’t see how Gu Changge had anything to do with the Successor of Demonic Arts.
On the contrary, all along, it had been Gu Changge contending against that mysterious Successor of Demonic Arts,
sparing many prodigies from calamity.
“Actually, this is inevitable.
The situation has already tipped.
This doesn’t require any evidence. It’s nothing more than ‘when one wants to condemn someone, one can always trump up a charge.’ Young Master Changge has already grown to a level that makes everyone fear him.
The Beyond needs such a reason to move against him,” Jin Yun said with emotion.
Jin Yun shook his head dismissively and said no more.
He was merely following the instructions of Purple Valley behind him, passing along this message.
The crowd fell silent once more. Though there was some sense of “when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves,” deep down they still felt a kind of relief.
The pressure Changge brought upon everyone was truly too terrifying, looming overhead, nearly suffocating them.
“If Young Master Changge falls, for us, it might actually not be a bad thing.”
“Come, come, come, drink, drink. This matter has nothing to do with us anyway, and we’re not qualified...
...to make contact.”
After that, one of the prodigies broke the silence, gave a bitter laugh, and began calling everyone to drink, unwilling to dwell on it any further.
The pavilion fell silent for a moment. One of the more straightforward young prodigies sighed, his gaze dark.
Chapter 706: Undercurrents Surging, Killing Intent Hidden — Heading to the Eternal Overcast Kingdom (Please Subscribe)
In truth, even without anyone deliberately fanning the flames, the Beyond had been seething with undercurrents during this period.
Ever since the annihilation of Nether, many Dao Lineages had been searching for clues about Pagoda, the other assassin kingdom.
Among these efforts, many of the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion’s secrets had begun to reveal traces of themselves under the scrutiny of the various Dao Lineages.
Quite a few ancient figures with profound attainments in the art of divination had all taken action, attempting to trace the origins of the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion.
Of course, Gu Changge had long anticipated this.
So, long before, he had instructed Bai Lian’er to have Bai Hua and Bai Kun obscure the heavenly secrets surrounding the Nephrite Breeze Pavilion.
That said, this was not a permanent solution, and Gu Changge did not expect to conceal it forever. It was merely to buy a little more time.
Across the heavens of the Beyond, the rumor that Gu Changge was the Successor of Demonic Arts spread like wildfire, unstoppably sweeping through everything.
At first, it only circulated among the great cults.
But later, the rumor grew ever more intense.
Not only were the disciples and Elders of the great cults discussing it—even ordinary Cultivators and rogue cultivators joined in the discussion.
“As long as things continue to develop, Gu Changge will soon be unable to resist coming out to refute the rumors.”
“And that will be the perfect opportunity for us to strike.”
“He absolutely will not tolerate such filthy water being splashed on him.”
In the deepest reaches of the clan grounds of many Cults of Immortality and Supreme Dao Lineages, terrifying figures wreathed in chaotic mist gazed toward the end of the sky and could not help but sneer coldly.
All of this was within their expectations—in fact, it was under their instruction and instigation that it had caused such a great impact.
At the end of the day, Gu Changge was simply too dazzling, making everyone wary of him.
That was why they had no choice but to resort to such a scheme.
Of course, since time immemorial, such things were hardly rare.
Many stunning prodigies who had dazzled the ages had, for one reason or another, seen their Dao collapse midway, never truly achieving invincible supremacy.
In their eyes, Gu Changge’s fate was already sealed. No matter how brilliant and dazzling he was now, he was destined to be nothing more than a brief firework.
A shooting star streaking past.
In the long river of history, he could at most stir up a tiny splash, vanishing in an instant.
“So the various races and Dao Lineages are planning to move against our Gu Family?”
“Do they truly wish to fight until the heavens collapse and the ages fall?”
Meanwhile, within an extremely grand palace of the Longevity Gu Family, many clan Elders who had received the news gathered there, their expressions heavy, tinged with coldness and killing intent.
Deep within the great hall, many figures with terrifying auras stood tall.
Each of them seemed to have walked out from beyond the world, their gazes incomparably cold. Within their eyes were many dreadful scenes—moons falling and stars shattering, universes collapsing, all living beings wailing, the myriad Daos breaking apart.
They were all Ancestor-level figures of the Longevity Gu Family, revived in this era to contend for the opportunity to become Celestials.
To them, Gu Changge was not merely a simple junior—he was the hope of the Longevity Gu Family across countless epochs.
How could they allow the various Dao Lineages and forces of the Beyond to scheme against him like this?
“How could Changge possibly have anything to do with the Successor of Demonic Arts? This is nothing more than trumped-up charges—when one wants to condemn someone, there is never a shortage of pretexts.”
“What they want is merely a reasonable excuse. As for evidence, that hardly matters.”
One clan Elder spoke with an ugly expression, naturally knowing full well what the various Dao Lineages were plotting.
It was nothing more than seeing Gu Changge’s brilliance shine too dazzlingly, fearing that if he grew one step further, he would shatter the balance the Beyond had maintained for countless years.
Of course, the biggest reason was that they could not bear to watch a young man grow rapidly—grow to a point that filled them with terror and dread.
“The destruction of Nether is the best example.”
“In the end, Changge was simply too high-profile. Without even needing us to act, he destroyed Nether with his own strength alone.”
“So all of them are terrified, deeply unsettled, and want to erase this threat in advance.”
An Ancestor deep within the palace sighed. Though he had only recently awakened, he had already figured out the whole sequence of events.
Beside him, another Ancestor’s gaze was exceptionally cold as he slowly said:
“I never expected that after so many years, so many forces and Dao Lineages have nearly forgotten us. Do they truly think our Gu Family is something they can manipulate at will?”
“It seems we have been dormant for too long. If the Celestial Gate opens in this era and the races of the Celestial Domain come to receive us, then what does it matter if we fight until the Beyond itself collapses?”
Another Ancestor also spoke, his voice carrying killing intent and fury.
The Longevity Gu Family had existed for an unfathomably ancient time, traceable even back before the Forbidden Epoch.
Later, because the Great Dao of heaven and earth collapsed and many cultivation rules were shattered, the Celestial Domain and the Beyond were severed from each other, unable to connect.
The vast majority of the family’s supremely powerful members had no choice but to leave the clan grounds and flourish anew within the Celestial Domain.
Over these countless years, the Longevity Gu Family and the Celestial Domain had maintained extremely deep ties, and they feared no Dao Lineage or force in the Beyond.
This time, if the various Dao Lineages truly dared to lay a hand on Gu Changge, they would naturally make them pay an extremely grievous price.
“With those words from all you Ancestors, Lintian can rest assured.”
“Changge has not been in the family during this time. Even as his father, I do not know what plans he has.”
“However, Changge has been steady and composed since childhood. Before destroying Nether, he must have already thought of a countermeasure.”
“We need not worry too much.”
The speaker was Gu Changge’s father, Gu Lintian. He nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.
As the head of the Longevity Gu Family, although in terms of cultivation he was already far inferior to Gu Changge, he still held considerable authority in many matters great and small.
Soon, atop the many Godly Islands and peaks of the Longevity Gu Family, great armies began to assemble.
From within small worlds, radiant gates of light shone, and spatial portals emerged one after another.
Countless knights walked out, their murderous aura soaring to the heavens, rolling blood mist shaking and splitting the sky.
Within the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, the Primal Celestial Temple, and many other immortal forces, numerous ancient existences also began discussing countermeasures because of the news circulating through the heavens of the Beyond.
The Primal Celestial Temple was the Longevity Gu Family’s staunchest ally. There were even rumors that the Primal Celestial Temple was actually a branch that had split off from the Longevity Gu Family many years ago.
Of course, whether this rumor was true or false was impossible to know.
In any case, if an Immortal War or an Immortal Tribulation were to erupt in the Beyond, the Longevity Gu Family and the Primal Celestial Temple would absolutely stand as one.
On this point, there was no doubt.
As for the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, because of the marriage alliance between the current Empress Mingkong and Gu Changge, its relationship with Gu Changge was anything but shallow.
When the time came, she would absolutely stand on the Longevity Gu Family’s side.
Beyond that, there were many hidden forces and Dao Lineages in the Beyond that were inextricably linked to the Longevity Gu Family and Gu Changge.
This surging undercurrent was quietly sweeping across the entire Beyond.
Many Cultivators and living beings could feel a calm before the storm.
They were deeply uneasy about it, fearing being dragged into it.
Meanwhile, all the forces and Dao Lineages were now watching Gu Changge’s figure intently, wanting to know his actions and reaction to all this.
But to many people’s disappointment, after destroying Nether, Gu Changge seemed to have suddenly vanished from the face of the earth.
Even the many clan Elders of the Longevity Gu Family did not know his whereabouts.
Many Cultivators speculated that Gu Changge had foreseen a great calamity targeting him, so he had deliberately found a place to lie low.
Of course, many people felt this was impossible.
Given Gu Changge’s character, how could he be the type to hide from the world?
At this moment, Gu Changge, the man at the center of it all, had already quietly left Peach Village.
Following the token that Jia Nan, the Eldest Princess of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, had given him back then, he planned to head to the Eternal Overcast Kingdom.
In Peach Village, when Gu Xianer realized he had left without saying goodbye, she nearly exploded with anger, feeling both wronged and resentful.
These past few days, she had been thinking about how to broach the subject with Gu Changge, how to stop that future catastrophe.
But Gu Changge had actually snuck out of Peach Village behind her back, and she didn’t even know where he had gone.
It was truly hard to swallow. She was utterly furious at Gu Changge’s actions.
The Eternal Overcast Kingdom was located in the deepest part of the Absolute Yin Heaven, the most mysterious place of all.
And the Absolute Yin Heaven did not belong to any region of the Beyond’s heavens.
Yet virtually all living beings and Cultivators of the Beyond knew of the Absolute Yin Heaven’s name, and felt horror and dread toward it.
Because the Absolute Yin Heaven was simply too terrifying, containing unimaginable great dangers.
Countless forces and Dao Lineages had been devoured by the Absolute Yin Heaven, vanishing completely, ceasing to exist.
Several years ago, the many forces of the Beyond had even joined hands to establish the True Immortal Academy.
It was solely to cultivate a True Immortal in this era, to stop the calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven.
The Mortal One of the Mortal One’s Palace had also once made it his mission to pacify the Absolute Yin Heaven.
When it came to the Absolute Yin Heaven, there was no Cultivator whose expression would not change with fear.
And now, Gu Changge stood holding Jia Nan’s token upon an extremely mysterious stretch of land.
Pitch-black earth, devoid of any vegetation, stretching as far as the eye could see, without a single sign of life.
There were piles of corpses of various colors, and the blood had even dyed the land black.
Mist and haze shrouded the boundless territory. Even the sky and earth were black, with no end in sight.
Beside Gu Changge stood the Yin Spirit who had come to receive him—a middle-aged man who looked very similar to a Human.
Generally, only Yin Spirits possessing the bloodline of the Eternal Overcast royal family would have an appearance resembling Humans.
“Greetings, Daren. This lowly one is called Yingming, a personal attendant of Her Highness the Eldest Princess. She instructed me to come here to receive you.”
The middle-aged man spoke respectfully, aware of Gu Changge’s identity.
The Absolute Yin Heaven was incomparably mysterious; beings from the outside world had almost never set foot here.
“Where is Jia Nan? Why didn’t she come to see me personally?”
Gu Changge casually glanced at the person before him, somewhat surprised.
“The Eldest Princess has recently been busy with the great matter of the Ancestral Worship and could not get away. She was unable to come greet Daren in person. I beg Daren not to take offense.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s expression tightened. Fearing Gu Changge might grow angry, he hurriedly explained.
“The great matter of the Ancestral Worship?”
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow. This was actually his first time coming to the nation of the Yin Spirits, and also the first time he had heard of this Ancestral Worship.
“Yes, Daren, it is indeed the great matter of the Ancestral Worship.”
“It is related to the forging of the Reincarnation Platform. In recent years, the numbers of our Eternal Overcast race have been dwindling. Even dwelling in the deepest part of the Homeland for tens of millions of years, it is very difficult to give birth to pure-blooded Yin Spirits.”
Seeing Gu Changge’s confusion, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained.
Because Eldest Princess Jia Nan had previously told him that matters concerning the Reincarnation Platform could all be revealed to Gu Changge.
“Pure-blooded Yin Spirits?”
Hearing these words, Gu Changge grew even more surprised.
Could it be that the beings of the Eternal Overcast race were divided into pure-blooded and impure? Was there a difference between the two?
“Reporting to Daren, our Eternal Overcast race is actually not born as easily as the outside world imagines. Our birth is actually very difficult.”
“Those beings outside who have been contaminated by Eternal Overcast Qi have merely absorbed a trace of Eternal Overcast aura. They are not true Yin Spirits.”
“Even in our realm, they can only survive at the very bottom, existing like slaves, unable to advance for their entire lives.”
“True Yin Spirits can only be conceived and born in the deepest part of the Homeland, or be born of Yin Spirits with extremely pure bloodlines.”
The middle-aged man continued explaining, describing the distinctions among Yin Spirits to Gu Changge.
When the Absolute Yin Heaven erupted and swept across the heavens of the Beyond, the Eternal Overcast aura that spread out would transform many beings into Yin Spirits.
But such Yin Spirits were not actually pure, and could not truly be called Yin Spirits.
Because their intelligence was incomplete, some even retaining only a savage, bloodthirsty nature.
“The deepest part of the Homeland...”
Hearing this explanation, Gu Changge fell into thought. The Eternal Overcast Source he needed perhaps came from the deepest part of the Absolute Yin Heaven’s Homeland.
The Reincarnation Platform that Jia Nan, the princess of the Eternal Overcast Kingdom, wanted him to forge should also be related to the birth of Yin Spirits.
If that were truly the case, would it not drag the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being into this?
Back on the Celestial Ancient Continent, he had felt that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had left behind many backup plans and inheritances—he did not seem like someone who would simply pass away and perish so easily.
The Dao of Reincarnation was also extremely special, involving the profound mysteries of life and death. If he had been lurking within the mortal worlds all along, then truly no one could detect him.
Gu Changge suddenly felt that this trip to the Eternal Overcast Kingdom might bring about some unexpected events.
Perhaps there would also be some unexpected gains.
He had already experienced the methods of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being back on the Celestial Ancient Continent.
All the Celestial Ancient Races except the Dragon Clan lineage had been calculated to death by him.
If Gu Changge had not interfered midway, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s true successor would likely have already inherited everything of his as a matter of course, standing tall at the peak of the Beyond.
After all, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was a genuine Celestial Realm existence.
He was also long versed in the Dao of Reincarnation, controlling the power of time. For him to glimpse a fragment of the future was not impossible either.
Thinking of this, Gu Changge’s expression became rather intriguing.
Soon, the middle-aged man led him across this pitch-black, barren land, arriving before a gray, deathly silent barrier.
The Absolute Yin Heaven was isolated from the outside world, containing great dangers and perils.
Ordinary people could hardly even reach this place, let alone pass through the barrier outside.
“Greetings, Daren.”
Yin Spirits were already waiting respectfully at this spot, standing in attendance beside an extremely grand black jade carriage, awaiting Gu Changge’s arrival.
