The One-Eye Daoist's Dread, Falling Flowers Have Intent but Flowing Water Is Heartless
The One-Eye Daoist’s Dread, Falling Flowers Have Intent but Flowing Water Is Heartless
Gu Changge displayed the power of a Remnant Immortal, and in a flash of lightning, he dealt with the three True Daoists who had set up an ambush here, along with the many Sacred Realm Deathsworn.
This left everyone who witnessed the scene unable to come back to their senses for a long time, their hearts filled with shock.
Before this, everyone had been doubting Gu Changge’s strength, wanting to know exactly what realm he had now reached.
But now that they knew, there was only a collective loss of words, eyes full of dread and horror.
Gu Changge was undoubtedly using his own strength to intimidate the entire current Beyond.
The many scenes here were transmitted back by the informants of the various Daoist traditions and forces at the first opportunity. It was believed that before long, the news would spread throughout the entire Beyond.
On the way back to the Family of Immortals, the welcoming procession was ambushed by three True Daoists who had set up a Prohibition Array—only for Gu Changge to annihilate them with a raise of his palm, in no more than three breaths.
Such a battle record was something even other Hidden Experts likely could not achieve.
Within the star domain, Gu Changge stood tall, his figure slender and blurred, his dark robes fluttering. Every strand of his hair was crystalline, glimmering with luster, with Chaos Energy even faintly intertwining and vanishing within.
His whole being resembled a young Immortal King, his eyes cold and profound.
He slowly swept his gaze across the surroundings. As his eyes flickered, light streaked past, like terrifying Chaos True Thunder tearing across the universe, splitting apart rules and order, sending chills through everyone’s hearts.
“Continue forward.”
He instructed indifferently, ordering the grand wedding escort army to keep moving and return to the Family of Immortals.
Ordinarily, no matter what happened, Gu Changge always presented himself before the world as a humble, gentle, jade-like exiled immortal—amiable and refined in his dealings with others. Rarely was he this cold and merciless. Within his eyes, killing intent practically pervaded the air, with terrifying visions of collapsing universes surfacing within.
The surrounding universe fell into dead silence. Even the many supreme experts hiding in the shadows could not help but shiver, their divine souls trembling.
However, they could understand. After all, this was the road on which Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong were to be wed—it had even happened during the bridal escort itself.
Those traditions hiding in the dark had sent True Daoists to interfere, wanting to disgust Gu Changge and the Longevity Gu Family at this grand occasion.
If it were them, they absolutely could not tolerate such a thing either.
“Three True Daoists making a move—it seems my guess was about right.”
“That said, at least three forces and traditions have acted. In the shadows, there are definitely more than just these.”
Within the wedding procession, Yue Mingkong, seated inside the Immortal Jade carriage, wore an equally cold expression.
She did not lift the curtain to look at the scene outside.
To her, there was nothing to worry about regarding Gu Changge’s strength.
In the current Beyond, unless Hidden Experts besieged him wielding Immortal Grade Artifacts, he would face no danger whatsoever.
But no matter how one put it, such an event was tantamount to an omen—her grand wedding with Gu Changge this time would not proceed smoothly.
Streaks of golden script flashed through the void, branded onto a Commandment, which was then transmitted out and vanished without a trace.
All these years, Yue Mingkong had been secretly training the Asura Guards according to Gu Changge’s requirements.
That was an extremely terrifying force. Every single Asura Guard possessed strength comparable to the Sacred Realm.
Because of the secret techniques they cultivated, they feared neither death nor pain, and knew no terror.
They had even mastered over a hundred kinds of combined assault formations.
And the leaders of the Asura Guards were at the Sacred Emperor Realm, the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, and there were even True Daoists among them.
This dreadful force had long been hidden away within numerous small worlds, never truly revealed in the Beyond.
Yue Mingkong intended to wait for the right moment to bring this force into the world and give those enemies a “surprise.”
Soon, the vast wedding procession once again set out on its journey. The universe trembled and the stars quaked.
Several True Daoists of the Longevity Gu Family flew out.
They cleared the way at the very front of the procession, their gazes cold and filled with killing intent, slowly sweeping across the surrounding star domains and universe to guard against a repeat of what had just happened.
Meanwhile, news of this place spread throughout the heavens of the Beyond at the first opportunity.
The One-Eye Daoist, Jin Yang, the Gifted Lady, Ancient Buddha Sha Na, and many other Hidden Experts all fell silent.
Before this, they could still sigh with emotion that the younger generation was to be feared—but at this point, they clearly no longer had the qualifications to say such a thing.
“Three True Daoists, actually suppressed and killed by him just like that... This boy has hidden himself deep indeed. This old Daoist originally thought he had only barely stepped into the ranks of True Daoists, and that his annihilation of the Nether relied on some Supreme Treasure or trick...”
Deep within Sky Emperor Mountain, the One-Eye Daoist’s expression was extremely ugly. With one palm strike, he directly smashed the mountain peak before him into dust.
Among the three True Daoists, one had been sent by him—a follower from his early years, sealed away for many years, whose qi and blood had long since withered, whose days were numbered, and who had no chance of ever reaching a higher realm.
That was why the One-Eye Daoist had sent him out—wanting to disgust the Longevity Gu Family while also probing just which experts were hidden within this wedding procession.
But he never imagined that Gu Changge alone would act, annihilating those people with a mere raise of his palm.
This shook even his state of mind, leaving it somewhat unstable. He felt that before long, he would truly encounter Gu Changge—and might even... not be his match.
Having reached the stage of a Remnant Immortal, the One-Eye Daoist was not without his own abilities. His other eye had gone blind precisely from peering into the secrets of heaven.
At this moment, that feeling in the depths of his soul was stronger than ever before.
The space between his brows throbbed with pain, even beginning to split open, fresh blood seeping out—an extremely ominous sign.
“No, I must eliminate Gu Changge. Otherwise, I truly will die at his hands.”
The One-Eye Daoist’s expression was grim. His figure blurred as the void before him split open. He stepped directly into it, appearing within an extremely grand and vast palace hall.
This palace seemed not to exist within the world at all, appearing somewhat illusory, destabilizing the void and causing many Great Dao cracks to surface.
Withered, dead stars rose and sank around it, and even the flow of time seemed to slow.
Within these halls sat three terrifying figures, their entire bodies wreathed in Chaos Energy, cross-legged upon prayer mats.
Merely by sitting there, they exuded a horrifying aura capable of crushing the heavens; even rules and order grew blurred around them.
“If you three Dao Brothers do not emerge soon, the tradition of my Sky Emperor Mountain will likely be severed in this era.”
“The Opportunity to Become an Immortal is right before our eyes. I ask that you three Dao Brothers awaken quickly.”
After arriving here, the One-Eye Daoist let out a long breath, then spoke to the three figures before him.
Sky Emperor Mountain had existed for ages and had once ruled over the myriad races of antiquity. The rulers it produced came from various races, their bloodlines differing.
The three before him were precisely the other three Hidden Experts of Sky Emperor Mountain still surviving in the world, their cultivation no weaker than his.
Sensing the One-Eye Daoist’s aura, the three figures seated on the prayer mats stirred slightly, their eyes seeming about to slowly open.
Seeing this, a look of delight appeared on the One-Eye Daoist’s face. He refused to believe that with four Hidden Experts holding down Sky Emperor Mountain, along with numerous Remnant Immortal Artifacts, Gu Changge could still do anything to him.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. The bridal escort procession finally traversed the long cosmic tunnel and returned to the star domain where the Longevity Gu Family resided, without the slightest incident along the way.
All the stars were draped in red silk, auspicious light interweaving, scenes of good fortune reflected across every corner of the firmament, filling this universe with a festive atmosphere.
Within the vast and boundless territory, star domains were countless, and living ancient stars beyond number. As vassal forces of the Longevity Gu Family, nearly every living star was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, immortal cranes spreading their wings as they swept across the skies.
In the star domains near the central region, Mystic Mountains and ancient peaks stood majestic and grand, stretching on without end.
These had already been refined by the supreme experts of the Longevity Gu Family beforehand, becoming residences for the guests.
After all, this wedding was truly too grand. Nearly all the most ancient and long-standing traditions and forces in the Beyond would descend upon it. Lesser forces had no chance whatsoever of entering the central regions and could only lodge in the outermost areas.
But even so, those outermost regions were packed to the brim, extraordinarily lively, with figures of Cultivators and living beings everywhere.
Boom!!
The universe rumbled. The wedding army returned, treading all the way along a red galaxy interwoven with lightning, heading toward the Gu Family’s main island.
His grand wedding.
Among the divine mountains and islands, many guests of noble status were now present, gazing from afar at the Immortal Jade carriage heading toward the deepest part of the Gu Family.
Empress Xi Yao of the Demon World wore a phoenix robe, her figure graceful and slender, her face cold and breathtakingly beautiful. But at this moment, watching Gu Changge’s figure riding away on his dragon-horse, she was momentarily stunned where she stood.
Then, bitterness surfaced at the corners of her lips.
Although it had actually been less than a few years since Gu Changge left the Demon World, to her it felt endlessly long—because she knew that such days would only grow longer from now on. Perhaps forever.
In the end, it was merely that the falling flowers had intent, while the flowing water was heartless—matters drifting away like the spring breeze, leaving no trace.
“Young Master Gu...”
In the direction of another island, several figures also gazed distantly at this scene, their hearts filled with both sourness and melancholy.
Yan Ji, Lin Qiuhan—once, they too had shared deep ties with Gu Changge. But as his strength and status grew ever more terrifying, they gradually could no longer keep up, already unable to catch sight of his figure.
On the rare occasions they could see him, it was only through Photographic Stones circulating throughout the various regions of the Beyond.
