A Rare Moment of Peace with the Two Women, Making Up for What He Owed
A Rare Moment of Peace with the Two Women, Making Up for What He Owed
The Beyond was in an uproar. A vast, mighty army had fled back from the distant Resplendence Universe, bringing with them news that left everyone horrified and trembling.
All the Daoist traditions and forces were gripped by fear, feeling that before long, calamity would descend upon them, endangering the entire Beyond. No one would be spared.
The Greatest Villain hidden behind the scenes had achieved Immortal status and now ruled over the Dark Heaven. The entire Beyond would live beneath his shadow.
Many of the Hidden Experts who had fled back were shaking, trying every possible means to return to their clans and prepare all their Forbidden Weapons, utterly terrified.
Because once that ruthless man returned to the Beyond, he would inevitably carry out a great purge. No force or clan would escape this fate.
And they would be the first to bear the brunt of it. After all, they were Hidden Experts, the strongest beings beneath the Celestial Realm. If they refused to submit, death was the only road left for them.
Although the environment of heaven and earth in the Beyond was now undergoing drastic changes, transforming at a speed faster than before, for the environment to truly adapt and accommodate more Immortal Dao existences would take at least several hundred years, if not longer.
Unless they had some way, like that ruthless man, to achieve Immortality within such an environment. But how likely was that possibility? Infinitesimally slim, practically impossible.
During this period, every Daoist tradition and force in the Beyond lived in fear, endlessly worried, trembling with trepidation each day, dwelling in dread and unease, unable to act with their former ease.
Even the most ancient clans and families with the deepest foundations hid themselves away in minor worlds, choosing to seal off all contact with the outside world as a means of self-preservation.
But they also understood clearly that such measures had limited effect. If a true Immortal Dao existence wanted to break in, there was simply no stopping him.
Many were also speculating about that ruthless man’s true identity, with some connecting him to the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
But recently, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had been seen within the Dark Heaven, dispelling that guess. Only then did everyone realize, to their astonishment, that even the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was one of the Dark Heaven’s people.
This news was even more shocking and horrifying. However, no one knew that this Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was merely an empty shell.
The Beyond grew ever more chaotic, with everyone fearing for themselves. Yet after Gu Changge returned to the Beyond, he was remarkably quiet, silent and traceless, making no grand appearance and alarming no one.
He appeared within the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty to meet with Yue Mingkong. After their wedding, the time the two had actually spent together had not been long.
Afterward, with the appearance of the Flying Immortals’ light, the Beyond fell into great turmoil, and Yue Mingkong had no choice but to return to the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty at once to handle numerous affairs.
As for Taoyao, she returned to Peach Village. Empress Huang Yu had parted ways midway, heading to the universe where the Ascension Celestial Dynasty now resided. Somewhat uneasy about it, Gu Changge naturally did not interfere.
“I knew you would definitely succeed. It’s just that I couldn’t help worrying.”
Deep within the palace, Yue Mingkong was draped in thin gauze, her exquisite figure gracefully curved, breathtakingly beautiful. She lay in Gu Changge’s embrace, her lovely eyes gazing at his face as if utterly entranced.
Gu Changge smiled faintly, resting his chin atop her head, and said, “How could I fail? No one in this world can stop me anymore. Very soon, I’ll open the path to the Celestial Domain and let all of you become Immortals.”
“Becoming an Immortal is too far away. I’m still a long way from even achieving Dao.”
“I don’t actually have much desire to become an Immortal. As long as I’m by your side, that’s enough.”
Yue Mingkong spoke softly. At this moment, she felt a peace of mind she had never known before. All the worries of this period vanished, and she could finally sleep soundly.
All along, what she wanted had never been much. Even after taking control of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, she had only been trying every possible way to help Gu Changge.
To her, things like power were of negligible importance.
“If you’re tired, hand the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty over to someone else and get some proper rest.”
“I no longer need you to do so much for me.”
Gu Changge looked at her sleeping profile, gently smoothing her furrowed brow, feeling a pang of tenderness.
Yue Mingkong only murmured a reply as if in a dream, clearly already exhausted. Gu Changge chuckled, a gentle warmth appearing on his face.
He had indeed worn her out quite a bit just now.
Several days later, he left the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty and went to the Mortal Palace to see Jiang Chuchu. Long ago, he had promised her that he would marry her, but that promise had yet to be fulfilled.
Gu Changge had always remembered. He had made promises to many people, but the ones he truly intended to keep were actually few.
The promise to Jiang Chuchu, he would not break.
“After you become an Immortal, will you leave the Beyond?”
Curtains hung like clouds, immortal mist curling through the air.
Within the palace, Jiang Chuchu asked with her beautiful eyes wide open, then pushed at him with some embarrassment and annoyance.
“You’re lying on my hair.”
Gu Changge lounged on the bed in a lazy posture, too indolent to even move at her words.
He merely said, “Depends on the situation. For now, I have no plans to leave the Beyond.”
“Besides, the Celestial Domain hasn’t even been connected yet. After so many epochs, who knows what state the Celestial Domain is in now?”
Jiang Chuchu looked somewhat skeptical, but then a fawn-like anticipation surfaced in her eyes.
“So that means you’ll be staying in the Beyond for this period?”
Gu Changge hummed in affirmation, not quite sure what she was so excited about. But the fact was, Jiang Chuchu was very clingy with him.
After his Primordial Spirit achieved Immortality, integrating and purging the Beyond was actually quite simple for Gu Changge. He barely needed to worry about it at all.
Upon returning to the Beyond, he had already issued his orders. Ah Da, Ah Er, Yin Mei, and the others now controlled the Dark Heaven, and their efficiency in handling matters was swift.
Even though he had not shown himself, nearly every Daoist tradition and force in the Beyond knew that the master behind the Dark Heaven was a True Immortal.
Who would still dare oppose the Dark Heaven? After all, no one was a fool. Those who submitted, submitted. Those who refused were simply annihilated.
“Speaking of which, that Transmigrator fellow countryman of mine probably isn’t in the Beyond anymore.”
At this moment, Gu Changge thought of Wang Zijin. It had been a long time since he had heard any news of her.
In his view, Wang Zijin was quite mysterious, possessing a strange constitution. Back then, he had even schemed to seize the Source of her constitution, but the matter had eventually fizzled out.
For the next several days, Gu Changge stayed within the Mortal Palace, keeping Jiang Chuchu company, which could be considered making up for what he had owed her all this time.
Afterward, he went to the Violet Supreme Alchemy Sect and asked Lin Qiuhan about the Violet Supreme Alchemy Pill. Learning the whereabouts of part of the pill formula, he went and retrieved it for her.
After all, this pill concerned the rapid advancement of those around him, so Gu Changge took the matter quite seriously.
