Identity Confirmed, Reincarnation of an Absolute Being from the Forbidden Epoch
Identity Confirmed, Reincarnation of an Absolute Being from the Forbidden Epoch
Boom—rumble—
Demonic qi came surging across the sky like a heavenly river bursting its banks, and every star trembled violently.
The rules and order of the world churned like a vast ocean, crashing and surging, issuing heaven-shaking sounds.
The entire universe quaked beneath this terrifying aura.
An Immortal’s Corpse had suddenly fallen from a mysterious place, nearly sinking this entire world.
That vast and ancient, dreadful aura pressed down upon everyone, making their very Physiques feel as if they would burst apart.
Ordinary Cultivators felt a terror that came from the depths of their souls, kneeling prostrate in that direction.
“Shifu, on the day of your grand wedding, your disciple has arrived late. I hope Shifu will not blame me.”
The surging, billowing demonic qi was like a colossal wave, blotting out the sky and sun, sweeping in from the distant universe. Within it, demonic shadows layered upon one another, demonic wings flapped, feathers streamed with light, exuding a bone-chilling, heart-palpating aura.
A figure in red stood towering amidst the surging demonic qi, her voice cold and without the slightest ripple.
Her figure was tall and slender, her skin lustrous white, her face breathtakingly beautiful—yet she was like an iceberg unchanged since ancient times, exuding a terrifying chill, as if she could freeze all the air around her solid.
Hearing these words, everyone was stunned, completely unable to comprehend who that voice was addressing.
Who was she speaking to? And the “Shifu” she mentioned—did she mean Gu Changge?
“The demoness in red of Devil Mountain has emerged!”
“What exactly does she mean by the ’Shifu’ she speaks of?”
Within the great hall of the Family of Immortals, the expressions of the many True Daoists grew incomparably grave, while countless doubts arose in their hearts.
At the occasion of Changge’s grand wedding, the demoness in red had arrived bearing an Immortal’s Corpse, and addressed Changge as Shifu?
Naturally, they would not think that the “Shifu” the demoness in red spoke of could be Yue Mingkong.
At this moment, even the members of the Family of Immortals found their expressions shifting, brows furrowing tightly.
Gu Xianer, Jiang Chuchu, Jiang Luoshen, Empress Xi Yao, the Phoenix Lady, the King of Six Crowns... far too many old acquaintances, all now wearing changing expressions, watching all of this in utter astonishment.
Many turned their gazes toward Gu Changge, only to see his expression calm and undisturbed, without surprise—as if he had long anticipated this.
If what the demoness in red said was true...
Then Gu Changge’s true origins could likely be traced back to that Forbidden Epoch buried within the long river of history.
The leaders of the various Daoist traditions and powers—Sky Emperor Mountain, the Endless Fire Kingdom, Purple Cloud Valley, and others—all had their faces change drastically in unison, exchanging glances with one another, an inconceivable conjecture arising in their hearts.
After all, before this, there had already been many rumors about Gu Changge circulating in the Beyond. His cultivation speed was simply too inconceivable—it could not be measured by common sense at all.
Therefore, many believed he had a heaven-defying background, that he was surely the reincarnation of some Absolute Being, possessing the Dao Fruit of his previous life.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to grow to a point of near-invincibility in the Beyond within just a few short years.
The demoness in red appearing on this day and addressing Gu Changge as Shifu—in a certain sense, this already revealed the truth.
This thought flashed not only through the minds of the leaders of the various Daoist traditions and powers; in truth, everyone present faintly guessed it as well.
Of course, reincarnation and re-cultivation were not common occurrences—such things had only been recorded in certain ancient texts.
After all, this involved reincarnation itself, even true life-and-death crises, where one could truly perish at any moment, making it difficult to retain the Spiritual Root and innate wisdom of one’s previous life.
For a time, everyone’s hearts were filled with shock and horror, utterly unable to calm down.
If Gu Changge was an Absolute Being of that epoch, and was addressed as Shifu by the demoness in red...
Then who exactly was he? It couldn’t possibly be...
Within the great hall, the many True Daoists’ faces shifted between light and shadow, countless thoughts flashing through their minds—some even felt it was absurd, inconceivable, their scalps tingling slightly.
They dared not continue thinking deeper, for that would be far too terrifying, something no one could accept.
If it were true, then the entire Beyond of today would likely be scared out of its wits—even the most deeply hidden figures probably wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.
“Amitabha. So back then, the demoness in red’s escape from the Demon-Burying Abyss was actually connected to Young Master Changge?”
At this moment, an eminent monk from Buddhist Mountain pressed his palms together, his face bearing an expression of compassion for all beings, and began to question Gu Changge.
His words immediately awakened many people. After all, thinking about it this way—the demoness in red’s escape, followed by her mass slaughter of the various powers of the Beyond, and even the battle of the siege at Divine City, which ended in devastating losses with almost no survivors left behind...
And in every single one of these events, there was the shadow of Gu Changge.
Put this way, even now, there remained some ineffable connection between Gu Changge and the demoness in red.
Today, on the day of the grand wedding, the demoness in red had come bearing an Immortal’s Corpse. Though it sounded somewhat inauspicious, it could not be denied that this was a resource every Daoist tradition and power would covet.
A complete Immortal’s Corpse—its value absolutely far exceeded that of an Immortal Grade Artifact.
However, many still did not understand why the demoness in red would bring an Immortal’s Corpse. Could there be some other intention behind it?
“The demoness in red’s escape is indeed connected to me. Had the seal not weakened back then, she would not have appeared in the Beyond to wreak havoc in all directions.”
“Therefore, afterward, I have been seeking ways to make amends, attempting to seal her away once more. Unfortunately...”
At this point, seeing the eminent monk of Buddhist Mountain address him, Gu Changge finally spoke. He smiled faintly, then explained.
These words of his were tantamount to admitting before everyone his identity as the demoness in red’s Shifu. Of course, even if Gu Changge did not admit it, under the current circumstances, it was already a confirmed fact—one that could not be denied.
Only, everyone still did not know exactly which unparalleled figure of the Forbidden Epoch he was the reincarnation of.
Back then, the environment of heaven and earth had not yet changed; heaven and earth had not yet been severed from one another. Even beings whose cultivation far surpassed the Celestial Realm existed in considerable numbers.
“So to speak, the grudge between Young Master Changge and the demoness in red is no simple matter.”
“Young Master Changge’s choice to go to the Demon-Burying Abyss back then—was it actually in order to seal the demoness in red once more?”
A True Daoist’s eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he spoke up to ask.
In truth, he did not quite believe Gu Changge’s words. But judging from the demoness in red’s words, which carried such overwhelming coldness, there was absolutely an irresolvable hatred between her and Changge.
As a figure of the Forbidden Epoch, her cultivation back then was unimaginable. She was then sealed within the Demon-Burying Abyss, until this life, when she finally broke through the seal and escaped.
But back then, for what reason had she been sealed away?
The matters of the Forbidden Epoch were simply too ancient, all buried within the long river of time. No one dared touch upon them, let alone know the secrets of that era.
Therefore, to all of them, all of this was an enigma!
Boom—rumble!!
And at this moment, deep within the firmament, demonic qi came surging forth, blotting out everything, vast and mighty. The demoness in red, Chan Hongyi, leading the many great demons of Devil Mountain, descended with utmost boldness, heading straight toward the mountain gate of the Longevity Gu Family.
All the Cultivators and guests within the surrounding star domains trembled beneath this aura, their faces pale with fright—both horrified and terrified.
