Chapter 130: Top-Quality Corpses; Gu Xian’er In Trouble.
In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
In a vast area to the East in the Ancient Immortal Continent…
Boom!
A mountain range resembling a large dragon suddenly exploded after being hit by a terrifying attack.A Sacred-grade artifact resembling a Heavenly Umbrella appeared in the sky as thousands of Divine rays of light came raining down and the mountain below was reduced to ashes.
“Grab her! Don’t let her get away!”
A large group of sea creatures chased after the slender figure that emerged from it and shouted.
She turned into a divine rainbow and tried escaping with incredible speed. It seemed that she possessed a certain secret technique, which suddenly increased her speed many times over.
“These people are quite persistent. How can the Sea King Palace have so many strong cultivators?”
Gu Xian’er frowned, showing a tired expression.
She turned back and using a Black Longsword, made a slashing motion aimed at the sea creatures behind her. An invisible aura gathered on the sword and broke through the air, killing all the sea creatures.She was constantly being chased past few days. This was already the third wave of people today. If it weren’t for her sensitive perception just now, she would have been seriously injured by the Sacred-grade Artifact.
“The girl dressed in blue is still being hunted.”
“She’s too miserable! Unfortunately, she offended the Sea King Palace, so no one dares to help her.”
“I heard that her surname is Gu and that she is related to the Young Master of the Gu family. I don’t know if this is true or not.”
“Even if they’re related, I hear that she and Young Master Gu have some conflict. What a beautiful girl, it’s really a pity.”
“Even the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace who saw her being chased didn’t dare to help her.”
A large group of cultivators noticed this scene and were shocked, but they only dared to watch from a distance.
These days, this scene is often seen in the Ancient Immortal Continent.
The news spread far and wide and many cultivators joined to enjoy the spectacle.
The Sea King Palace was extremely powerful. Although they knew that Gu Xian’er was suspected of being related to Gu Changge, they were still unscrupulous, and constantly sent people to hunt her down.
There were a lot of sea creatures who went to the Ancient Immortal Continent this time, and they all obeyed the orders of the Sea King Palace.
In particular, the Seventh Princess even put down a bounty, saying that whoever can help her catch this girl will be rewarded with a Divine Artifact. This may even extend into getting a favour from her.
These rewards were attractive indeed.
However, the cultivators also took into account the chances of Gu Xian’er being related to Gu Changge.
This situation was not something they could intervene in.
So, they can only watch the show from a distance.
“Damn it, how come they have so many people?”
Gu Xian’er’s expression was cold as frost. She finally got rid of a group of people, and before she had time to rest, she encountered yet another group of people.
The void trembled, in which there was a vast fluctuating rune caused by a powerful Sacred-grade Artifact.
The mountain peak in front of her exploded, affecting her with its power as well. She was injured by the shock and coughed blood.
Although Gu Xian’er had an amazing physique, she was exhausted after being hunted for days without rest.
She became angry and aggrieved, but there was no other way.
Those sea creatures were like maggots, she couldn’t get rid of them even after killing wave after wave.
Among them, there were even a few Young Supremes of the Conferred King Realm. In front of their combined attack, Gu Xian’er had no other choice but to escape.
In fact, she still had a few tricks up her sleeve, which are the Secret Treasures given to her by her several masters.
But this was just a struggle between peers and she didn’t want to waste them in this kind of place. Additionally, she could use this opportunity to train and acquire more fighting experience.
But by now, Gu Xian’er began to regret it just a little bit.
‘Why did I directly kill that man just after entering the Ancient Immortal Continent? Because of that, this grudge has grown quite a bit.’
At the time, the look he had really got under her skin.
‘Gu Changge is to be blamed. He pissed me off, and I couldn’t think straight and killed him’
‘This is all his fault. I will find him to settle accounts.’
Gu Xian’er placed all the blame on Gu Changge’s head again.
‘And didn’t he say that others are not allowed to bully me?’
‘Now, I am being chased by a group of fish and shrimp soldiers from all directions, so why can’t I see even his shadow?’
‘Damn it! Why am I thinking of Gu Changge now…?’
As soon as she mentioned him, Gu Xian’er became angrier and even felt a little unfair in her heart.
Of course, she knew that these were her own self-imposed feelings. After all, Gu Changge stopped taking care of her.
‘Why would he care about my life and death?’
‘After all, if I died, no one would seek revenge on him.’
‘This’ll make Gu Changge happy.’
‘The Sea King Palace has been hunting me. This matter has already shocked Young Supremes everywhere. Gu Changge is powerful and has many followers, so how could he not hear of it?’
‘But even after so many days, he didn’t come to help me at all.’
‘This is enough to explain Gu Changge’s attitude.’
“Gu Xian’er, what are you thinking? What are you still looking forward to?”
[Editor’s Note: She is talking to herself in 3rd person.]
Soon, Gu Xian’er shook her head, putting aside the distracting thoughts in her mind.
She continued to run away as a pair of bright pair of wings faintly appeared behind her with runes lingering around it. It was a Supreme-grade Speed Technique.
Fortunately, her masters taught her so many techniques.
There won’t be any major problems for a while.
But Gu Xian’er was still inexplicably lost in her heart.
[At the same time.]
“This is the area where the natives reside?”
Gu Changge was standing on a mountain with an interesting look on his face. From his point of view, he could see a valley in front of him.
Surrounding the valley was a large purple mountain range, each of the mountains was overflowing with purple Qi, creating an incredibly hazy view.
The valley is very wide and boundless, with large ruins and cities.
There are dozens of giant, magnificent palaces, as well as many smaller palaces and pavilions. It seems that this place used to be a Sacred Land in the past.
“My lord, this is where our tribe resides.”
In front of Gu Changge, these native creatures were kneeling on the ground, their faces pale as they spoke in a panicked voice.
They carefully guided Gu Changge and brought him here.
In the city ahead, there are many experts in their clan, meaning that they could still have some chances to be saved.
At the moment, they seemed to kneel on the ground in horror, but in fact, they quietly planned to contact them with a secret method.
However, Gu Changge glanced at them with an indifferent expression.
Then, with a pop, a few clouds of blood mist exploded directly in front of his eyes.
The bodies of other native creatures collapsed and couldn’t bear the pressure of Gu Changge’s gaze.
How could Gu Changge not predict their little scheme? Even if his prediction was wrong, it didn’t matter.
“You wait for me here.”
Afterwards, Gu Changge said lightly to the followers behind him as his figure blurred.
With a ripple in the void, he disappeared.
“Yes, master.”
This group of followers have been familiar with Gu Changge’s various powerful and mysterious methods.
They dared not ask Gu Changge’s purpose.
Gu Changge asked them to wait here, so they just needed to listen to his order and wait here.
And soon, Gu Changge’s figure appeared, soaring high in the sky.
Buzz!
He noticed many creatures in the Ancient City Ruins. Their auras were very strong, most of them existing in the True God Realm, and many of them even had cultivation bases as high as the Heavenly God Realm.
Some of them were in the God King Realm, and some were even in the Sacred Realm.
They were just sitting in some palaces, with Divine Runes flowing all over, cultivating, motionless.
“If I make a sneak attack, it won’t be difficult to kill these Sacred Realm creatures.”
“But I should go to the Ancestral Tombs of these natives first.”
Then, Gu Changge’s figure disappeared into the void as a Golden Rune flickered in his palm.
This was the Divine Concealment Talisman that can perfectly hide his breath.
‘Based on the strength of the group of native people, the ancestors buried in their ancestral tombs would not be too weak.’
‘At the very least, they should be at the Quasi-Supreme Realm.’
He felt that this time he could break through the God King Realm in one fell swoop.
‘As long as enough of the Origin Essence remains, even breaking through to the Half-Step Sacred Realm wouldn’t be a surprise.’
As for the preparations that must be made and the risks he must take, he believed that nothing should endanger him here.
Gu Changge has a lot of cards, so even if there was a Great Sacred Realm expert hidden inside or even a Quasi-Supreme, he doesn’t have to panic at all.
Buzz!
The void trembled, but this fluctuation did not attract much attention.
And thus Gu Changge smoothly traversed to the depths of the ruins, passing through large areas filled with pavilion and palaces, going straight towards the innermost region.
At times, a mighty aura would swoop down, as if Mount Tai had fallen. Gu Changge couldn’t help but frown.
“In this small ruin, there is actually an existence beyond the Quasi-Supreme Realm.”
Of course, Gu Changge was not worried. He still had his inner world, so if an accident were to occur, he could simply hide within it.
Moreover, he knew the characteristics of the native peoples’ tombs. He was confident in his ability to find the location of the real Ancestral Tombs.
The journey went safely and quietly.
After about a quarter of an hour…
Gu Changge finally saw one of the tombs. It was a cave; tall, and simple with ancient, rusty characters engraved around it. The cracks on it show that it was at least tens of thousands of years old.
In addition, he also noticed the many formations here alongside several altars.
In front of the tomb, there were two powerful creatures, guards with purple faces and centipede-like appearances. Their strengths were at the level of the Half-Step Sacred Realm.
“These tombs in the Ancient Immortal Continent have been nourished by the Essence of the Sun and Moon as well as Spiritual Qi for many years, and there should be a lot of Origin Essence left behind. At the very least, it would be several times that of the Ancient Corpses from the Upper Realm.”
“If they find that their Ancestral Tombs have been dug up, I’m afraid they wouldn’t take that very well. It seems like Ye Ling will have to carry the blame for this also.”
As he thought of this, Gu Changge bore a playful expression.
There was a ripple in the void as Gu Changge’s figure instantly appeared from it.
At the same time, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd with its devilish energy hovered in the air.
“Who?”
The two creatures in front of him were shocked, but they hadn’t reacted yet.
A blinding black light passed in front of their eyes!
Puff!
The hardened scale armour burst and blood splattered everywhere!
One of them was hit by Gu Changge with the halberd, breaking the armour as they were pierced mid-air.
The body of one in the Half-Step Sacred Realm was like a piece of paper, and it couldn’t possibly withstand the sharpness of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd!
“Who are you?”
The other creature was also stunned. He didn’t expect such a young man to appear in the ancestral tomb.
Moreover, his comrade was severely injured in an instant, unable to continue fighting.
“If you don’t want to die, I suggest you move out of the way.” Gu Changge smiled lightly, unafraid of being caught off-guard.
“You…”
The other creature was furious and understood the meaning of Gu Changge’s words.
The creature unleashed their might and majesty, showing off the aura of the Half-Step Sacred Realm. A black light simply broke through again, and with a puff, his arm was taken off. Black blood splashed everywhere!
Gu Changge had a casual look about him as he solved the problem without much trouble.
Then, he avoided the formation pattern in front of him and entered the Ancestral Tomb.
Boom!
A corrupted aura from the coffin immediately pounced on him!
Gu Changge swept across with the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and broke the coffin in front of him.
With a thud sound, a corpse rolled out.
“It seems that the harvest will be good.” Gu Changge was somewhat satisfied.
In his words, this was a top-quality corpse.
The corpses in front of him were rich in essence. There were men and women of all ages, dressed in different clothes, belonging to different dynasties and periods, but one thing they had in common was that they were all from the distant past.
This was a group of very ancient dead people.
The weakest among was in the Great Sacred Realm.
Put together, they looked incredibly strange.
‘These old Taoist priests wearing shabby feather clothes are emitting a corrupted aura as if they had just been dug out from the grave.’
[Editor’s Note: Changge, let’s be honest, they were dug out from the grave, and you know damn well why.]
There was also an Ancient Emperor, wearing a broken purple golden crown as if he had just crawled out of the earth.
There were also Celestial Maidens dressed in Celestial Silkworm clothes, but their dresses were worn out as if they had been eaten by Demonic Beasts.
In addition, there were monks wearing robes, with dry skin, but looked like they were moulded from gold.
There are also creatures of the Ancient Ten-Thousand Races who were very tall but had wings that were broken and dry.
As Gu Changge shot at them, a number of black strands of light appeared in the palm of his hands filled with different Runes.
The corpses all began to rise up and down.
Strands of hazel-like green light emerged from these corpses, holding similar properties with starlight, magnificent and magical.
Gu Changge sat down, a doorway appearing faintly behind him as a black strand of light fell down and turned into a Black Dao Bottle. All the brilliance from earlier was swallowed into it.
He refined and absorbed the essence, while the Qi in his body constantly rose.
A black-coloured vortex emerged from the doorway behind him, it held a strange and mysterious feel to it.
……..
Time passed, and it has been three days since Gu Changge ventured deep into the Ancestral Tomb of this small ruin.
At this moment, in a vast mountain range.
Gu Xian’er had some bloodstains at the corner of her mouth as she stared ahead coldly.
The vast white mist came in from all directions, spanning tens of thousands of miles.
Among them, a rune flickered, and the aura of a very powerful pattern permeated.
A group of sea creatures had been waiting here for a long time to ambush Gu Xian’er.
One by one, sea creatures appeared on all sides.
They possessed shockingly large and terrifying bodies. On those bodies were runes so strong like that of a mountain.
In order to hunt her down, the Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace sent many Young Supreme sea creatures.
She didn’t want to give up on the person who killed her brother.
Moreover, during this period, Gu Xian’er killed a lot of the Sea creatures she dispatched. This made the seventh princess become even angrier.
Now that the Sea Palace Formation had been laid and they firmly surrounded the area where Gu Xian’er was located, all that was left to do was take her down.
The place, shrouded in white mist, seemed to be above the sea.
Terrifying lightning and thunder, violent storms, and various kinds of brilliant runes and divine powers intertwined.
At the same time, it also attracted a large number of cultivators from nearby areas. They were all watching from a distance with different expressions.
“The Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace is so cruel. She sent so many people to hunt down this girl, and now even the Sea Palace Formation is used. Even a True God Realm cultivator would find it difficult to escape!”
“However, this was revenge for her brother, so who could blame her?”
“It is said that when the Empress of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty rushed over, she was held off by another female Young Supreme. The two of them are currently fighting, so I am afraid it will be difficult for her to support this girl for a while.”
Many cultivators were in the midst of discussing.
Suddenly, a huge sound came from the sky.
Heaven and earth seemed to be rioting as the sound of horses’ footsteps was heard.
The sound was as thrilling as thousands of horses galloping to kill.
A golden warhorse shook the heavens as it stepped into the sky.
There was a golden flame on the areas below the knee of the horse.
[Editor’s Note: Rapidash, is that you???]
Sitting on it was a blue-haired woman in golden armour, holding a trident in her right hand, with a cold and indifferent look.
She stared at Gu Xian’er’s pale face in the mountains ahead and said with a cold smile.
“Little girl, where do you think you’re going?”
And the many sea races nearby, seeing this, they all respectfully said, “We welcome the Seventh Princess!”
All the cultivators who were watching from a distance also changed their expressions a little.
“Hey! That’s the Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace. Such a powerful aura, she has already broken through to the pinnacle of the Conferred King Realm!”
“No wonder she’s so bold; she’s invincible!”
They were all shocked. The strength of this Seventh Princess was truly terrifying. Therefore, it was not unreasonable for her to order the group of Young Supreme sea creatures.
