Chapter 188: Yue Mingkong’s Plan for the Ancestor; Erasing Gu Changge’s Hidden Trouble!

The origin of the All-Devouring Sky has always been a mystery to the Upper Realm. No one knows how it was born, nor do they know its true location.

However, the creatures that emerge from the All-Devouring Sky carried a terrifying gluttonous Qi.

This strange and terrifying Qi corrodes the cultivator’s soul and spiritual sea regardless of their power.

It stuck to both the Cultivation Base and Primordial Spirit of a person, making it extremely difficult to get rid of, like a maggot attached to a bone.

As far as Yue Mingkong knew, the All-Devouring Sky of her previous life had swallowed many Lower Realms.

The scale of it was simply terrifying, causing the entire Upper Realm to fall in chaos.

It was precisely because of this that the Daoist Sects and factions were disturbed. They sent their best of best, their supremes, forming a True Immortal Library, exhausting each of their own resources to cultivate a True Immortal.

Currently, there were no True Immortals in the Upper Realm.

If there was, it would be an ancestor from the ancient families, someone who has been slumbered for many years.

Yue Mingkong had actually heard of the Human Ancestor from Gu Changge in the previous life.

He was said to be travelling across Samsara. Some people say that he is a predecessor who descended from the heavens, while some say he was one of the very first cultivators of the human race.

This group of cultivators, who were said to be the pioneers of the human race and achieved feats that had lasted throughout the ages.

The Human Ancestor was the most prestigious one among them.

Each time the All-Devouring Sky appears, he would cease to travel the Samsara, and would reincarnate – turning the tide and stopping chaos in its tracks.

There was also that one time when the Human Ancestor slew a Demonic Arts Inheritor who overwhelmed nearly half of the Upper Realm!

He had prevented countless disasters.

Such a great accomplishment deserved the praise of future generations for hundreds of millions of years!

Over the countless years, the Human Ancestor has become a godlike existence in the upper realm.

Even the Ancient Freaks of the Great Immortal and Supreme Daoist Sects would be in awe at the mere mention of his name!

The younger generation knew very little about this, some didn’t know at all.

But once the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation awakens, his terrifying cultivation speeds will be sure to send his peers down a desperate spiral.

With his unattainable speed, he would reach the highest peak in record time.

The Young Supremes from the various races and sects, no matter how dazzling, will be lacklustre in front of the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation.

His tyrannical reincarnation was by no means comparable to the geniuses of the same era. In each era, this fact remained unquestioned.

Many people speculate that the Human Ancestor cultivates using a special method.

Considering his ties to Samsara, his travels across the world, his unmatched comprehension, and his heavenly might…

By the end of it all, the Human Ancestor grew detached and became an unspeakable existence.

The Daoist lineage he had left behind, the Human Ancestral Hall, has become one of the most secluded forces in the Upper Realm.

Their cultivators were few in numbers, but whenever one of them appeared, they caused a great sensation in the outside world. They were treated as an honoured guest, with none daring to show even a hint of disrespect.

Naturally, the transcendent status of theirs did not mean their heritage was greater than those of Immortal Families and Great Immortal Sects.

However, in the eyes of a cultivator from the Upper Realms, the Human Ancestral Hall was no different from a shrine. Every once in a while, people would come by to pay their respects.

‘According to the memory of my previous life, the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor in this life should come from that side of the Lower Realm.”’

Yue Mingkong’s eyes grew deeper.

‘Once his reincarnation is awakened, it is bound to display the same level of strength that he had before.’

‘At that time, Gu Changge’s identity as the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor will undoubtedly be exposed.’

What happened in this life had exceeded her expectations in many respects, and many things even happened ahead of time.

Even she didn’t know when the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation would appear.

However, one thing was certain, he had the means to detect the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor, something that had already happened in her previous life.

However, Gu Changge was too powerful by then.

Going by the previous timeline, it was likely that the Human Ancestor will be reborn early. Currently, Gu Changge’s powers were still in their infancy, a far cry from the terror they were in the previous life.

In the face of the Human Ancestor, Gu Changge will be at a great disadvantage. There was also a possibility that the entire world might turn against him.

This would prove to be a hidden crisis for Gu Changge.

“The Human Ancestor…” Yue Mingkong whispered softly, her eyes containing a shockingly cold and murderous intent.

Various thoughts flashed in her mind.

She recalled his various characteristics, trying to determine where he would show up.

Even if he was a figure worshipped by countless cultivators, even if he wielded an unimaginable heritage, so long as he stood against Gu Changge, he was her enemy!

Whether it was in the past or the present, she wouldn’t allow others to hurt Gu Changge.

Even if she wanted revenge before, she wanted it to be done by her own hand.

‘After a brief period of time, the Ancestral Hall’s descendants will come out of seclusion in search of the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation.’

Yue Mingkong made a decision in her heart.

The descendants of the Ancestral Hall were a complete mystery. Even in her previous life, not one of them had shown their faces. In fact, no one could even tell their genders.

However, the one thing that the mysterious Ancestral Hall was famous for is their inheritance, the Dao Fruit!

In other words, the descendants of the Ancestral Hall can borrow the lives of their predecessors.

Thus, it was in this manner that the descendants of Ancestral Hall are tasked with assisting the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation.

‘The Human Ancestor is said to have a Pure Lotus Nirvana Body; devoid of any worldly pollution, which seems to be transformed by the Pure Wordly Lotus. Thus, this generation’s Human Ancestor must first go against the heavens to reshape his bones and tendons. This means that the Pure Worldly Lotus should be very important to him.’

‘As long as I snatch the Pure Worldly Lotus, his return should be greatly delayed.’

Several thoughts flashed in Yue Mingkong’s mind, carefully making her plans. Last time, she suffered a tremendous loss at Ye Ling’s hands, which led to his escape.

She was more cautious now. Though her identity as a regressor meant she had the foresight, it didn’t necessarily mean that she could plan and control everything.

After all, she was not Gu Changge.

‘Before Gu Changge came into contact with the Human Ancestor, he took the opportunity to grow stronger. I can only help him by steering him in that direction…’

Yue Mingkong’s phoenix-like eyes displayed an eerie calm as these thoughts came and went.

Although she was confident, she wasn’t blinded by it to think that her ability was sufficient to resolve this matter.

If it were not for how the Human Ancestor was destined to stand against Gu Changge, she would’ve never taken the initiative to provoke him.

He was an ancient monster who dwelled in the Samsara. Whether he had more methods than Gu Changge or less was unclear. It made her shudder just by thinking about it. At most, all she can do was plot against him and ensure he doesn’t fully awaken.

As for the killing the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor? From her point of view, it was a hopeless endeavour.

Furthermore, Yue Mingkong didn’t intend on telling this to Gu Changge. Otherwise, she runs the risk of increasing the likelihood of Gu Changge meeting up with the Human Ancestor. This can be regarded as another layer of protection for Gu Changge.

“My subjects, heed my order. From this day forward, the Supreme Immortal Dynasty will be forming the Supreme Guards. Any and all strong cultivators across the four seas and eight directions may come to test their mettle…”

Following Yue Mingkong’s command, her jade-like hand picked up a flowing brush, as she began to write an Imperial Verdict.

With her current identity and status, along with the power of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty, news of this Verdict would undoubtedly attract countless creatures and cultivators once it spreads through the realm.

The Supreme Guards; this was the secret weapon of destruction that Gu Changge had her built in her previous life.

Moreover, it could also be called the First Immortal Dynasty’s greatest and most destructive weapon. Wherever it went, blood would splatter and heads would roll, and there was no land it could not conquer.

No one dared to face its might!

Yue Mingkong still remembered the secret technique Gu Changge taught her in her previous life.

How to train and control the Supreme Guards.

This hidden method was simply terrifying, and its effects were magnified by creating an army such as this.

With this technique, the army can effectively share the damage between each member. And in critical moments, even share their vitality with one another.

At that time, Yue Mingkong simply found it unbelievable. She believed that Gu Changge was omnipotent… ‘But now that I think about it, this secret method is obviously pure evil.’

The Great Art of Heavenly Creation.

Using soldiers as the source of heavenly creation, it could indeed form an invincible legion, with indomitable divine powers that were unparalleled in the world.

However, if this kind of forbidden art is overused, it may cause great and irreversible damage to both the body and soul, slowly turning soldiers into mindless puppets who can only kill and slaughter.

And that’s precisely what Gu Changge wanted.

He intended to establish the world’s first True Immortal dynasty. On the surface, the True Immortal dynasty of the previous life seemed to have been controlled by Yue Mingkong.

In reality, Gu Changge was the true emperor behind the scenes, plotting and scheming her ascension to the throne. He had total control over the situation and never once faltered in his actions.

‘In this life, I will establish the Supreme Guard first. Then, I shall reform the Supreme Immortal Dynasty, turning it into the First Immortal Dynasty.’

‘Above the Heavens and Earth, only I will reign Supreme!’

At this moment, divine light appeared in Yue Mingkong’s eyes, her perfect and fairy-like face radiating with imperial majesty.

While Yue Mingkong was making her plans…

[Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, Supreme Peak]

Light surged as an endless sea of runes poured.

Gu Changge sat cross-legged next to a sealed jade jar containing wisps of Fairy Spirit that dripped with an extremely magnificent glow.

Between his mouth and nose, he exhaled a chain of Laws and Rules, like a tiny river of stars.

Gu Changge was currently devouring, refining these wisps to improve his own strength.

During this period of time, his apparent cultivation level using the Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex has reached the Late Stage of the False God Realm.

His Demonic Cultivation Base, however, had already reached the Late Stage of the Quasi-Sacred Realm, rapidly approaching its peak.

In the past few days, he went out on a hunt, using his Forbidden Demonic Arts, he devoured many Young Supremes with special physiques.

Yin Mei had provided him with plenty of resources; however, his progress was still slow.

Fortunately, Gu Changge wasn’t in a hurry.

Relatively speaking, his cultivation speed wasn’t slow at all. Many of the older generation had to enter seclusion for tens if not hundreds of years before they reached the Sacred Realm.

Hum!

Above his head, the Black Dao Bottle levitated. Rainbow-coloured immortal light and Chaotic Qi gushed, falling onto his body.

As still as a mountain, he sat like an ancient god who radiated majesty and overwhelming power.

Gu Changge was using a secret incantation unique to the Immortal Devouring Demonic Arts to refine quickly.

‘Gu Nanshan really ran to the Sea King Palace to settle the bill. After hitting a wall in my cultivation so many times, I should find a chance to vent my anger as well.’

‘The Sea King Palace matter can be regarded as a warning to the rest of the races.’

Soon, Gu Changge opened his eyes and a different colour flashed past them.

Everything was proceeding in the direction he wished.

Neither Gu Xian’er nor Gu Nanshan disappointed him.

Gu Nanshan’s temperament was precisely what he displayed. It was simply impossible for him to bear with the blatant provocation of the Sea King Palace.

‘In terms of cultivation speed, Gu Xian’er’s ancestors were among the top in the entire Gu family. Even if Gu Nanshan isn’t the best, he isn’t weak either.’

These days, Gu Changge had sent a follower of his to the Gu Family to inquire about Gu Nanshan and learn about his many experiences.

Only by doing this could he make better use of this powerhouse.

If he succeeds, he need only wait in the shadows to pick up the benefits.

The Ancient Immortal Gu Family has plenty of ancestor figures, but that didn’t mean they woke up often.

Gu Nashan’s decision to leave seclusion so that he could go out and relax is uncommon.

From Gu Changge’s point of view, Gu Nashan was very strong, and the Ancient Immortal Gu Family was at its peak.

They wouldn’t suffer to the point of losing in a fight against the Sea King Palace.

Gu Changge felt that even his father, who stood at the top of the Upper Realm, would have difficulty defeating an ancestor such as Gu Nanshan.

The disparity in cultivation time was simply too big.

Gu Changge’s announcement, where he exposed the past’s secrets to the people of the world, would definitely have an effect on Gu Nashan and the other family members’ opinions of him.

When Gu Nashan stood up for Gu Xian’er, the Ancient Immortal Gu Family’s stance became clear.

The Ancient Immortal Gu Family remains immortal, overlooking the life and death of the Upper Realm. Any Daoist force that dared to offend them would disappear and their heritages would be extinguished.

The tyrannical horror of the Ancient Immortal Gu family was clear to see.

Therefore, in Gu Changge’s view, the Sea King Palace was nothing more than EXP for Gu Xian’er, not to mention the several terrifying masters standing behind her.

So even if Gu Changge didn’t stand up for her, Gu Xian’er would’ve been fine.

He just took advantage of it.

Naturally, Gu Changge can’t go too far. That girl was a little silly, but she was still his little sister.

Pushing her around was enough, but if other people dare to do so, then Gu Changge will be sure to exterminate their entire clan.

After all, teasing Gu Xian’er was the few pleasures he could enjoy in life.

What’s the point of having a little sister, if not for teasing?

Not only that, but Gu Xian’er had always brought him a bountiful harvest of Destiny Points and Fortune Value. Estimating how much she has left would be difficult.

Now that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace has been dealt with, Gu Changge was considering whether he should set off for the Gu Family with Gu Xian’er in tow, drawing out the bigwigs behind her.

If used properly, that’ll be another terrifying boost to his powers.

The mysterious masters of the Peach Village and the Peach Tree itself.

Gu Changge was really looking forward to meeting them.
