Chapter 938: The Gu family’s secrets, it’s enough for the ancestors to kill with one finger
<em>Is it due to the Great Dream Returning Immortal Technique?</em>
Gu Changge looked back, a moment of surprise crossing his face, but he swiftly deduced the reason. Yue Mingkong’s Daoist practice delved into the concepts of destiny and reincarnation. Through the Great Dream Returning Immortal Technique, she had traversed the river of time in her dreams, cultivating in past eras.
Gu Changge had been protecting her precisely because, with her current strength, carrying the formidable karma and bacsh across the lengthy river of time, even within a dream, would be impossible.
This train of thought prompted Gu Changge to recall Chan Hongyi and Tao Yao, whom he had ensnared in the river of time. They, too, were cultivating in the bygone years.
“Well, I might be in seclusion for a while, uncertain about when I’ll awaken,” Yue Mingkong whispered.
“Just focus on your cultivation; don’t worry about anything,” Gu Changge smiled, approaching and tenderly embracing her.
“Then don’t forget about me,” Yue Mingkong leaned her head on his shoulder, a yful smile gracing her lips.
“I’ll miss you,” Gu Changge replied, holding her soft hand, a faint smile on his lips.Yue Mingkong entered seclusion, unsure of when she would emerge. Despite creating the Great Dream Returning Immortal Technique, there were mysteries within it that even she had not fully grasped. A grand dream, possibly reaching back into eternity.
Gu Changge dispatched his puppet, Alpha, to stand guard outside the cave, ensuring Yue Mingkong’s safety. Though Alpha originated from the evil spirit transformed by the true blood of the demon lord in the demon-burying abyss, his innate talent rivaled that of immortal kings.
Over the years, Gu Changge deliberately or inadvertently supplied him with various resources, allowing Alpha’s true strength to reach a levelparable to an Immortal King.
Yet, Yue Mingkong’s seclusion prompted Gu Changge to contemte other matters. While he harbored no concerns about the impending catastrophe facing the world of mountains and seas, the people around him were different.
Including his parents and rtives in this life, the same reality applied. Upon discovering his true identity as the former World Destroyer Demon Lord, the Ancient Immortal Gu family disyed a degree of fear towards him.
Initially indifferent to this, Gu Changge was nowpelled to ponder these matters as Yue Mingkong entered seclusion. He should consider empowering those close to him so that they could enhance their strength.
While Gu Changge possessed the ability to safeguard them, there was no certainty that, when the final confrontation arrived, he could shield everyone around him. The other two True Ancestors he had nned were unpredictable and enigmatic entities. Even now, Gu Changge needed to be more confident in the sess of his ultimate objective.
<em>If I were alone, why bother with these concerns? This n finally involves me</em>
Gu Changge mused, shaking his head lightly and rubbing the center of his brows.
Simultaneously, deep within the territory of the Ancient Immortal Gu family, within the n’snd, a serene and holy scene unfolded. Towering ancient trees, majestic mountains, and a profusion of immortal spirits created an otherworldly ambiance, appearing as an independent celestial universe. Despite the world’s tumultuous changes, this ce maintained an air of detachment.
In the ancestral hall of the n, many Gu family ancestors congregated with solemn expressions. The setting was a simple and ancient courtyard devoid of grandeur, yet intricate divine patterns shimmered and intertwined throughout, evoking a sense of agelessness.
“As a n, the Gu family has spanned hundreds of millions of epochs since its inception. Even predating the forbidden era and themencement of the age of innate mythology, the Gu family thrived,” intoned an elderly figure in a voluminous ck robe, standing within the ancestral hall, addressing the assembly.
d in a ck robe adorned with embroidered patterns of fallen leaves covering his body, even obscuring his feet, the figure inside appeared concealed at first nce, leaving only the impression of a voluminous ck robe. Despite this, the ancestors of the Gu family regarded this person with utmost respect. Patriarchs like Gu Lang stood quietly, attentively listening to the spoken words.
Beside the ck-robed elder, several other figures exuded a simr agelessness, surrounded by mist and chaotic light that induced a sense of trepidation. Hailing from the Immortal Domain, precisely from the Gu family of the Immortal Domain, they had journeyed to the upper realm after the Forbidden Era.
The Gu family had split into two factions, with some ancestors leading their ns to the Immortal Domain while others remained in the upper realm to safeguard their ancestral homnd.
During Gu Changge’s time in the Immortal Domain, he was aware of the other branch of the Gu family but refrained from delving into it. The ck-robed speaker, the nominal founder of the Gu family, was often called the First Patriarch by many nsmen. However, he regarded himself as the Ninth Patriarch.
Many believed that he had vanished in the past years, only to reappear in this life, leading numerous Gu family members from the Immortal Domain to join their counterparts in the upper realm.
“In ancient times, the world of mountains and seas pales inparison to my Gu family,” intoned the ck-robed elder, his voice steeped in age, emanating a sense of timeless presence. Distorting the surrounding time and space, even causing thews of heaven and earth to whimper.
In the ancestral hall, the Gu family’s forebears were astonished and blindsided by the revtions from the Ninth Patriarch. They had yet to anticipate such an astonishing history for their lineage, their knowledge limited to sparse records in ancient texts.
Learning that the Gu family had been dormant in the real world of mountains and seas for an unfathomable period, with the sole purpose of resurrecting a great ancestor, struck them like a tempest.
The following deration from the ck-robed elder resonated like thunder in their hearts, reverberating through the hall. Though his voice wasn’t loud, it carried a palpable and trembling force, as if even the celestial bodies in the vast expanse above were quivering in response.
The revtion left everyone in stunned disbelief – to resurrect the distant ancestor? A figure so enigmatic that its very existence seemed surreal.
Unperturbed by the collective shock, the elder continued his words, carrying the weight of ages.
“Initially, I nurtured my family’s distant ancestors, guiding them through the trials to achieve the immortal existence of the transcendent true Dao realm. Over the ages, only a select few have reached such heights. Those ancient cultivators who endured the seventh, eighth, and even the ninth decline of their realms are insignificant before my distant ancestor. He could eliminate them with a mere flick of his finger.”
His tone grew more profound and resonant as he delved into the past. The elder’s voice became hoarse as if recounting firsthand the events of a cataclysmic battle where their distant ancestor, facing an almost hopeless situation, sacrificed himself by transforming into the world to protect all living beings.
