Chapter 138: The Dead Will Stay Dead; Want To Give A Little Support

Gu Changge’s plan was actually very simple. He was going to dig up the Ancestral Tomb in these Ruins first.

He should have absolutely no issues breaking through to the God-King Realm by then.

He even felt that by the time he left the Ancient Immortal Continent, with his consciousness in the Sacred Realm, he could easily achieve the Quasi-Supreme Realm.

At that time, with the gift of the Transcendence talent, his control over the Rules would reach a deeper level, increasing his control and allowing him to efficiently utilize the powers of heaven and earth.

Of course, this is assuming that he stops by and explores all the Ancestral Tombs in these ruins of the Ancient Immortal Continent.

After all, this place was different from the outside world. Even if his actions were discovered, he had someone to take the blame for it, so he didn’t need to worry about it at all.

The only time it would be a problem is if it happened in the outside world. If it did, it would be all over the news.

Gu Changge wanted to continue to improve in secret, which was troublesome. Although Ye Ling was carrying the black pot for him on the surface, it could be said that he was like a paper wrapped around a fire. It won’t hold for long, and more preparations must be made on his end.

“I’m afraid that I’ll have to trouble all the ancestors of this Ancient Immortal Continent…”

Gu Changge murmured casually.

Soon, a mysterious talisman appeared in his hand as runes intertwined and a hazy brilliance enveloped him.

His entire figure was hidden in the void. He disappeared with a step forward as he went to the Ruins ahead.

Although he had only done it once, he was already quite familiar with the process… perhaps it was a natural talent.

Once he was there, he avoided many areas with strong auras.

Gu Changge’s figure stepped into the void and walked all the way. The many palaces and pavilions started to turn old and decayed the deeper he went.

It was shrouded in mist, like grey starlight that flowed there.

There were many peaks of different sizes. Standing in their midst was one of a greenish-brown colour, filled with various lights of different colours.

Suddenly, the void trembled!

Puff!

Accompanied by two drum-breaking sounds, blood splashed all over!

The eyes of the two creatures who were responsible for guarding the tomb suddenly widened. They were shocked and horrified as they could only feel the cold from their eyebrows. The brilliance in their eyes dissipated as a force pierced through, creating a bloody hole between their eyebrows!

With a flash of Sword Intent, their souls were annihilated!

Instant Death!

Gu Changge withdrew his finger and walked out of the void with a natural expression, passing by them.

The two bodies then collapsed on the ground.

With his current strength, it was an incredibly simple task to get rid of creatures such as these two, whose cultivation bases are only in the Quasi-Sacred Realm.

With his Void Talent, he approached it quickly and silently.

After devouring the Origin of the White Tiger Spirit from Bai Lie, he refined it into a peerless Sword Qi technique with the power of the Rules to make the Endless Immortal Judgement!

The sharpness of this technique could make even a Sacred Realm cultivator pale.

“No wonder so many people like to use swords, it really makes you feel cool and handsome…”

Gu Changge was at ease as he raised his head to scan the tomb in front of him, somewhat satisfied with the location.

This was a moderately-sized Ancestral Tomb, but it was very well-maintained, and the mounds of the graves varied in size.

The scent of passing ages had permeated throughout the area, giving the place an atmosphere of resilience and prosperity, a testament to its past glory. It can be said that many powerful people had lived and were buried here, eventually forming the massive mausoleum seen today.

Some coffins were cracked, allowing a splendid brilliance to erupt from it…

Gu Changge knew at a glance that it was the essence of those ancient corpses. At this moment, it was surging like a mountain and whistling like a tsunami.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

‘What a huge number of top-quality resources!’

‘Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be an ordinary tomb, could these be Young Supremes?’

Gu Changge was a little surprised when he noticed the writing on a tombstone in front of him.

The tomb he found was not just an Ancestral Tomb. Instead, it was the Ancient Tomb of Young Supremes.

As he walked past the square stone monument, he felt the powerful and monstrous fighting spirits left behind by the Young Supremes.

‘Even I must acknowledge the strength of these people.’

‘There are many great opportunities in the Ancient Immortal Continent. Those who can be called Young Supremes here must truly be extraordinary, especially those who made it to old age.’

Gu Changge felt an unyielding fighting spirit on a tombstone, penetrating the sky.

“Chen Que, the Hundred Forbidden Battle Body”

“Yuan Xu, Holy Dragon King”

“Heavenly Divine Blood”

…

After passing by the tombstones, Gu Changge recognized some of the ancient writings.

Of course, he had no interest in learning about these Young Supremes.

They were already dead, unable to reach the highest level despite their overwhelming fighting spirits. What’s the point of learning about them more?

The dead will stay dead.

In Gu Changge’s eyes, they were nothing but his cultivation resources.

Buzz!

And soon, he sat down cross-legged.

A black-light emerged behind him, turning into a Black Dao Bottle. Heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars were all dimmed.

Then, the dark cloud seemed to split.

Countless suns, moons and stars fell and enveloped Gu Changge from the ground up!

His skin colour was like a supreme immortal jade, crystal clear and translucent as even the black light flowing into his bones could be seen.

An intent fell upon the surrounding area.

‘Even if the sky collapses I will not fall, even if the world gets destroyed I will remain Immortal.’

The Ancient Young Supremes’ corpses, male and female, one after another, their graves cracked open.

They all had different physiques, different robes, and came from various dynasties… but there was no doubt that they had powerful talent. All these corpses rushed to the sky.

They went up and down under the starlight. The Dao Bottle devoured everything, refining all the energy into Gu Changge’s body.

His Primordial Spirit and Cultivation Base both improved rapidly.

……….

Around the time that Gu Changge explored the depths of the ruins and began to refine and absorb the remaining essence from the Ancient Corpses…

Ye Ling and his party were still outside the city, frowning and thinking about various ways to quietly sneak in without being discovered.

Chi Ling and Yin Mei also ordered their followers to stay here and wait for their return.

After the opening of the Ancient Immortal Continent, a large number of outside cultivators broke in, causing a great influence on the lives of the natives.

Thus, they took extraordinary measures to ensure that these places would not be easy to approach by the outsider cultivators. A desperate battle is bound to happen if they were to be discovered.

Of course, many among the young generation dared cross this line. These Concealment Art experts take huge risks and go to these places to steal the various Ancient Techniques of the Ancient Immortal Continent.

“Chi Ling, this is too dangerous. Although Ye Lin is by no means weak, sneaking into a gathering place of the native people is simply too risky. There are False God Realm cultivators inside, possibly even those in the True God Realm and the Quasi-Sacred Realm.”

“Please consider this matter again.”

At this time, among the followers around Chi Ling, some of them were whispering.

Among them, a good-looking man with a beautiful face and peacock feathers couldn’t help but frown as he spoke.

His name is Kong Yang, a Young Supreme of the Peacock Clan. He was defeated by Chi Ling and became her follower. Despite his defeat, he admired Chi Ling.

Though he wasn’t inferior in terms of strength, he willingly followed her.

Chi Ling always pretended not to see him.

“I believe in Ye Lin’s strength, you need not say or do anything more. You only need to remain here. If something happens to us, you may retreat.” Chi Ling shook her head as she replied bluntly.

She trusted Ye Ling a lot. She didn’t believe that Ye Ling would come up with such a risky plan for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Kong Yang frowned and replied.

“Then Chi Ling tell me, did Ye Lin go to the city’s Ruins? He never said anything about this before, yet you choose to believe him. What if he intentionally tries to harm you?”

“In my opinion, he definitely knows of the opportunities hidden there, and that’s why he brought us all the way here. And now that he got here, he’s ditching us except for you two [1]. Don’t you find his intentions suspicious?”

[1: Chi Ling and Yin Mei.]

He had spoken up about Ye Lin before, showing his dissatisfaction and contempt. However, he was brutally face-slapped by Ye Lin, causing him to lose face in front of Chi Ling.

Along the way, he secretly looked into Ye Lin’s behaviour. Ye Lin consistently behaved very strangely, and he knew that Ye Lin kept many secrets from them.

Most importantly, Ye Lin always had a knack for seeking out good fortune while avoiding evil and danger. He seemed to know everything in advance in addition to the dangers that would be encountered.

What did all of this mean?

It means that Ye Lin has plans, and he’s been working on them for a long time. Why else would he be so familiar with the road ahead? Why else would he have such control over everything?

The only problem is that all of them were kept in the dark by Ye Lin, completely unaware.

Kong Yang didn’t want Chi Ling to be fooled by Ye Lin.

However, Chi Ling’s words made him clench his fists and teeth, unwilling to let this matter slide.

“Kong Yang, your worries are unnecessary. I firmly believe in Ye Lin’s character.”

Chi Ling shook her head and spoke, her cold and proud expression remained unchanging. She wouldn’t change her mind just because of what the others were saying.

After that, she left right away to discuss it with Ye Ling.

“Damn it…”

“Ye Lin, do you really think you can deceive me? I will see what your true purpose is!”

Kong Yang’s expression changed slightly, turning ugly.

He coldly and angrily stared daggers in Ye Ling’s direction.

‘If he truly had no other purpose, then why would he be so sure that there was something he wanted in the ruins of the city?’

Meanwhile, Ye Ling came up with an idea after discussing it with the Old Turtle inside the pendant.

“According to the Old Turtle’s statement, there is indeed a 70% guarantee. I didn’t expect Reincarnation’s power to also involve this kind of mystery, allowing me to use it as a pathfinder.”

Ye Ling was overjoyed.

The Old Turtle in the pendant had a strange expression as it muttered to itself.

“Forget it, the Ancient Deity left the Enlightenment Platform at that time. There are many deeply hidden meanings behind this, and the original guardians should still be there.”

“If the process goes well, they should choose to surrender Ye Ling. However, it would be bad if it doesn’t go as well as we hope.”

[PR/N: Duh?]

The Old Turtle didn’t know about it very much but knew that this was a test made by the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation for Ye Ling.

If he can pass this test, he will get an extremely powerful boost to his strength.

“Ye Ling, let’s go.”

At this moment, a beautiful and coquettish voice came.

Yin Mei also came over, moving as gently as a lotus. It seemed she had finished giving out her orders to her followers.

Her eyes and brows curved beautifully as she showed a lovely smile on her face that seemed to light up the atmosphere.

Ye Ling was stunned for a brief moment before he quickly smiled.

When the scene fell on Chi Ling’s eyes, she slightly frowned.

‘Yin Mei is the fiancée of his late brother, Bai Lie, so why does he have such an attitude towards her?’

She didn’t let it show on her face. However, deep down, she was shaking her head.

Compared to when she first saw Ye Ling, the current Ye Ling gave her an inexplicable feeling that couldn’t be expressed through mere words.

‘Was Bai Lie’s death somehow related to Ye Ling?’

At this moment, her thoughts were suddenly engulfed in turmoil.

‘Could it be that Bai Lie was murdered by Ye Ling and Yin Mei together?’

‘Otherwise, why would the two of them have such sneaky “eye-to-eye” movements along the way?’

From her point of view, Ye Ling did seem to have a different kind of emotion towards Yin Mei. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked rushing to her rescue when he saw her in distress, regardless of how high the risk of exposing himself was.

‘And most importantly, Ye Ling didn’t care and showed no respect towards Bai Lie, his righteous brother, who always valued him and helped him a lot in cultivation.’

‘On the contrary, it was as if he wished for Bai Lie’s death.’

These thoughts shook Chi Ling’s long-standing trust in Ye Ling.

“Chi Ling, what are you standing around for? We have to go!”

Suddenly, Ye Ling’s voice interrupted her train of thought and brought her back to her senses.

‘I’ll save this matter for later. After all, it’s not like Ye Ling has any ill intent toward Yin Mei.’

[PR/N: Can’t say the same for Yin Mei tho…]

Then, the three of them turned into divine lights, sneaking towards the large ruins in front of them.

At the same time, Ye Ling used a black-coloured stone talisman, upon which runes burst with a flash, falling to the ground before wrapping around their figures.

“This method can conceal our aura. As long as we move quietly, ordinary creatures won’t be able to spot us.”

Ye Ling spoke to Yin Mei and Chi Ling, who landed behind him.

He naturally noticed Yin Mei’s expression just now.

He didn’t feel the need to say anything. After all, he was now sure of Yin Mei’s affections toward him, and he felt the same.

The two loved each other, and even if Bai Lie knew, what could he do other than sigh with regret? After all, it’s not like anyone could blame Ye Ling.

Ye Ling thought of this and firmly believed this idea wasn’t wrong at all.

Isn’t it normal for one such as him to be so cool and handsome in the hearts of most Female Young Supremes?

Ye Ling was just giving these women a little bit of support.

Just when Ye Ling and the others snuck into the ruins.

[In the city.]

In an exceedingly magnificent Ancient Great Hall where a surging aura permeated…

Several old men with strange markings on their bodies were gathered together.

In their eyes, one could see the stars being destroyed, the sea turning into ashes, and a myriad of other horrible visions.

Their auras were powerful, the weakest among them was in the Quasi-Sacred Realm, but their appearance was not of a human.

They either had two pairs of wings or vertical eyes between their foreheads. They were all black or covered in gold as if they were cast in it.

Among these features, they bore one striking similarity, the strange rune marking on their hands that constantly flashed.

And if one looked closely enough, they would notice the rune floating up and down in a bizarre manner…
