The Vast and Weighty Terrifying Foundation, the Astonishment of Guests from All Sides
The Vast and Weighty Terrifying Foundation, the Astonishment of Guests from All Sides
“The Young Master specially came over to instruct me to bring you all to the inner island.”
A white-robed woman with a devastatingly beautiful and alluring face walked over. Behind her, her snow-white, fluffy fox tails were being carried by four maidservants.
She spoke to Lin Qiuhan, Yan Ji, and the others before her, wearing a smile.
“You are Gifted Lady Yin Mei?”
Because Yan Ji had once followed Gu Changge for a period of time, she was somewhat familiar with his confidante, the Gifted Lady of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Yin Mei.
Lin Qiuhan, on the other hand, was rather unfamiliar with Yin Mei. She had been cultivating all along at the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect and had hardly ever come into contact with the outside world.
Her attainments in the Dao of Alchemy were extremely high; in just a few short years, she had surpassed many elders.
But now, all of this was clearly of no help to Gu Changge, so afterward, Gu Changge had hardly ever returned to the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect.
“This is the Young Master’s confidante. She has always helped the Young Master handle the affairs of the Merchant Alliance, and she is also the one currently in charge behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Alliance,” Yan Ji explained to Lin Qiuhan.
Both she and Lin Qiuhan had become acquainted with Gu Changge back when they were in the Overworld.
So whenever she was free, she would go to the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect to chat with Lin Qiuhan.
Over time, the two of them had grown quite familiar with each other.
“Greetings, Gifted Lady Yin.” Hearing this, Lin Qiuhan was somewhat reserved.
After all, she was just a minor figure; before Yin Mei, she really had no standing to speak.
“There’s no need for you all to be so formal. Follow me into the inner island.”
Yin Mei smiled faintly, her bearing dignified and courteous. Even though her face was beautiful enough to topple nations and carried a stunning allure, it did not appear seductive or bewitching.
Because of her special status, quite a few members of the Longevity Gu Family actually recognized her.
Lin Qiuhan, Yan Ji, and the others followed Yin Mei through numerous Transportation Arrays, entering the inner island region together.
Compared to the Star Territories outside, the inner island could truly be called a world of its own; describing it as the genuine Immortal World would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.
The entire Longevity Gu Family was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The small worlds that the Founding Ancestor had once carved out with supreme Transcendent power were likewise draped with celebratory red ribbons and lanterns.
Here, even if power far exceeding the Celestial Realm were to erupt, it could not damage so much as a fraction of anything.
Islands were scattered like stars across a chessboard; divine peaks and mountains, silver waterfalls cascading and swirling, clouds steaming and mist roiling, immortal fog shrouding everything.
Many guests entering the Longevity Gu Family’s inner island for the first time were shaken by this vast and terrifying atmosphere, their hearts filled with utter astonishment.
That weighty and majestic aura rushed toward them head-on—something no ordinary Immortal Orthodoxy could ever compare to.
At the edge of the firmament, one could even see the sun, moon, and stars revolving, the Milky Way cascading down, erupting with a hua la la sound, as if falling from the very end of the universe.
Great stars, one after another, were wreathed in hanging Chaos Energy, their radiance blazing and dazzling, resplendent beyond measure.
Between each island, one could even see the figures of many primordial ferocious beasts, their open mouths capable of devouring the sun and moon.
Among them was a dragon-turtle, its figure sprawled at the very edge of the earth, seemingly dozing off.
Yet just a single wisp of the aura it exuded was enough to make even True Daoists’ hearts palpitate.
To the east, there was an entirely azure-green Qinglong, coiled atop an ancient immortal divine mountain. Its body covered and pressed down upon the sky, its scales like lakes, its gaze incomparably cold. The mere instant its eyes swept past made many guests’ scalps go numb and their entire bodies tremble.
In addition, there was a divine bird, crimson red all over, within the Chaos mist. The moment it spread its wings, it shook apart the endless rules and order between heaven and earth, its temperature terrifyingly high.
The vast and boundless wilderness forest stretched on, extending deep into the ancestral grounds of the Longevity Gu Family.
There, the sights were even more myriad and magnificent—auspicious light shining brilliantly, immortal qi coiling, divine mist gleaming, like True Dragons soaring through the sky and Black Tortoises splitting the earth.
Dense Chaos haze shrouded it all, like a land that had existed since before the creation of the world, mysterious beyond compare.
Scene after scene like this left all the guests with solemn expressions, their hearts unable to calm, endless waves of shock rising within them.
“So this is the foundation of the Longevity Gu Family...”
An Elder from the Ancient Immortal Races sighed, his expression full of amazement and shock.
Beside him were the siblings Ye Langtian and Ye Liuli, who had once shared a not-insignificant friendship with Gu Changge.
But now, they could only quietly follow behind their elders to attend Gu Changge’s wedding.
In truth, quite a few of the Beyond’s younger generation had come this time, but they all followed behind their elders, keeping quiet. Only when looking upon the many divine and wondrous places of the Longevity Gu Family would they reveal expressions of amazement and awe.
Within the Longevity Gu Family’s inner island, immortal mist drifted, immortal blossoms bloomed, and clear radiance permeated the air.
A great road appeared—one that looked as though it could only accommodate a few people abreast, yet was incomparably wide—stretching all the way into the depths of the mist.
There, palaces stood in clusters, incomparably majestic, as if situated at the end of the universe. One could hear the vast sounds of the heavenly river cascading down and the stars turning.
On both sides stood many knights mounted upon ferocious beasts, guarding the place, their auras grim and terrifying.
All the guests proceeded along this great road, entering the main hall where the wedding was about to be held. It was a world of its own within—though it did not look large, spatial techniques had been used to refine an entire ancient great world into it, enough to accommodate countless people.
Within the palace, figures were everywhere, mist pervading the air.
Unless one was extremely close, one simply could not see the true faces of others. Even True Daoists felt astonished, needing to probe their surroundings with divine sense, as if they were standing within a vast world, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving overhead, radiance shining brilliantly.
Of course, this was a certain terrifying artifact that the Longevity Gu Family had specially refined for this occasion, suppressed within the palace.
Before the wedding began, the guests were allowed to rest here, avoiding encounters between enemies that might cause unnecessary trouble.
“Greetings, Young Master Changge.”
At the front of the palace, Gu Changge, together with a group of Gu Family elders, was receiving the guests.
His incomparably handsome face bore a faint smile as he nodded to the assembled guests.
In the distance, there were also a group of old ancestors from the Primal Celestial Temple busying about in the surroundings. His mother and father were likewise receiving guests, fulfilling their duties as hosts.
After all, the forces and orthodoxies able to enter this palace were all true overlords of the Beyond, capable of changing heaven and earth with a casual word.
“The Lake of Reincarnation presents three pieces of Reincarnation Immortal Jade, three bottles of Boundless Sacred Water, and one piece of Enlightenment Mark Immortal Gold!”
At the palace entrance, guests filed in. Many, hearing these congratulatory gifts, were shocked and hurriedly turned their heads to look toward the entrance.
The one leading them was a genuine Hidden Expert—his eyes grey-white, weathered and profound, grey horns upon his head, his strength extremely terrifying.
The Lake of Reincarnation was an extremely low-key orthodoxy in the Beyond, but that did nothing to diminish how mysterious and dreadful it was.
And now, on the occasion of Gu Changge’s grand wedding, they had even dispatched a Hidden Expert to personally deliver lavish gifts.
“So it is Huya, qianbei! We never imagined you would come in person. The Eighteenth Ancestor speaks of you often!”
An elder of the Gu Family was startled at the sight, then broke into a smile, personally coming forward to receive the people of the Lake of Reincarnation.
Clearly, the Lake of Reincarnation and the Longevity Gu Family shared some manner of friendship, and the great gifts they brought were extremely astonishing.
The Eighteenth Ancestor he spoke of was the very one who had once emerged into the world and slain the Great Elder of Purple Mansion—named Gu Lang, whose cultivation had long since reached the realm of Remnant Immortals.
Later, when the Longevity Gu Family conquered the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains and sought to break open Sky Deer City, the Eighteenth Ancestor Gu Lang had also taken action, nearly cleaving through Sky Deer City’s defenses.
“That fellow Gu Lang actually still thinks of this old man? It seems he hasn’t crossed hands with me in so long that his hands are itching for it.”
Hearing this, the Hidden Expert of the Lake of Reincarnation also revealed a trace of a smile.
“The Lake of Reincarnation...”
Within the palace, the expressions of many guests turned somewhat strange, their hearts faintly startled.
Because the Lake of Reincarnation had not shown itself in the Beyond for a very long time. Rather than calling it an orthodoxy, it would be more accurate to call it a Forbidden Area—it had once annihilated an entire Immortal Orthodoxy.
In this generation, no one had even heard of it having any successors.
Yet no one had expected that the Lake of Reincarnation shared such a deep friendship with the Longevity Gu Family, that they would specially send a Hidden Expert over. From this, one could see the degree of importance they attached to this occasion.
“Father, Mother, Changge will take his leave for a moment.”
At this time, Gu Changge’s gaze shifted slightly as he noticed the figures of a few acquaintances. He cupped his hands slightly toward his parents, then departed from the palace entrance, heading off to one side.
