Chapter 222: I Can’t Teach, But I Can Cultivate Apprentices; Closer Than Relatives.

The menacing and terrifying Black Wind Bandits, in front of this immortal, was wiped out with a single wave.

Such a terrifying method made the villagers of the entire Beishan Village kneel on the ground in incomparable awe, as if they had seen a miracle.

Mouths full of gratitude for Gu Changge.

But Gu Changge seems uncaring to their praises, like he had simply done a trivial thing.

The laws of heaven and earth were under his palm, like tools at his disposal, which can be changed and twisted at any time.

“Brother Immortal is so strong…”

Yaoyao’s eyes were wide open, full of shock.

This was the first time she had seen such a method, and it had widely surpassed the concept of what cultivators could achieve in her mind.

‘Is it possible to become so powerful?’

In her eyes, the cultivator who took her brother away that day was already an extremely powerful existence. With a roar, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and blood pierced the sky.

Yet he didn’t seem to even have the qualifications to be compared with this Supreme Immortal

“Hm? You’re still calling me Brother Immortal after all that?”

Gu Changge looked at her with a smile.

“Ma-Master…”

Hearing his question, Yaoyao stuttered out the proper response.

Then, seriously and respectfully, she bowed to Gu Changge.

Even after such a big crisis of life and death…

The whole person was way more relaxed.

At first, she didn’t know why, but she had the courage to stand in front of Grandma Yinhua.

And although the others were very afraid of the mysterious master in front of her.

She only felt that he was gentle, without any kind of unnerving coercion.

Especially, since he suddenly appeared at a time of crisis, saving her life and saying that he would accept her as a disciple.

It was as if he had shone a ray of hope into her darkest despair!

Such a surprise came so suddenly.

It made Yaoyao’s little head feel a little dizzy.

She even felt that Granny Yinhua was somewhat envious of her now!

“She’s really a well-behaved and sensible little girl. The more I see her, the more I think my choice was correct. It truly was fortunate that I visited Tian Domain today on a whim.”

“Otherwise, I might have really regretted it.”

Gu Changge smiled, and his words gave off a sense of satisfaction and hidden happiness, like he was afraid of missing out on such a talented disciple.

Of course, only he himself knew how true or false these words were.

“Master.”

Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled as her white teeth showed.

She was someone who was capable of differentiating truth from lies, even at her young age.

In her opinion, though Gu Changge’s face and features were hidden under a layer of immortal mist, and were impossible to see through…

The girl felt that there was a soft and caring feeling in his manner and actions.

As if, he was looking at her with gentle eyes.

It was completely different from the aloof indifference the immortals in the rumours possessed.

“You have the heart of a child. Pure. Flawless.”

“For such a treasure to be buried here, would be a grave misfortune to the world.”

Gu Changge faintly smiled as he reached out to pat her head.

At this time, he could naturally guess what Yaoyao was thinking.

After all, she was the Favoured Daughter of Heaven, young and precocious.

Even if he didn’t make a move just now, it is estimated that the ninth head of the Black Wind Bandits would not be able to hurt Yaoyao.

Gu Changge’s perception had witnessed a terrifying aura suddenly emerging from her brow.

With a kind of breath that one could call earth-shattering, able to destroy everything in its sight.

Even if it was only fleeting and soon disappeared.

But once that power erupted, let alone the puny Black Wind Bandits, the entire Tian Domain itself might be overturned in its wake.

However, after his appearance, the horrifying force quickly vanished.

According to the well-known plot and routines of taking care of Changge, this is probably the Dao Fruit from the mysterious peach tree!

And he must fully take control of this fruit no matter what.

He had never been interested in teaching people, but this time, for the sake of his convenience, he intended to masquerade as a master seeking a disciple.

To the point of arranging a routine to produce the first inkling of goodwill.

Otherwise, this girl might not be willing to go with him.

On the other hand, Yaoyao was also the younger sister of the reincarnated Human Ancestor, making her a pivotal part of his plans.

To deal with Human Ancestor’s reincarnation, the best way was to start with her.

“Master, is Yaoyao really as powerful as you said?”

Hearing Gu Changge complimenting herself like this, Yaoyao’s face turned red from shyness.

Although she had recognized him as her master, she and Gu Changge weren’t very familiar with each other yet, so it was difficult for her to act naturally in front of him.

Gu Changge obviously understood this as well. He wasn’t in a hurry anyways.

The drama of a hero saving a beauty was an old-fashioned trope, which caused even him to feel a tinge of awkwardness when acting it out.

But if he managed to hook Yaoyao…

Then it would be all worth it.

A pure and innocent little girl simply had no chance in the face of Gu Changge’s schemes.

No matter how smart she was, it’d be impossible to predict the fact that it was all arranged by Gu Changge in a ploy to earn her trust.

As for the rest of the villagers? There was no chance of them doubting him.

They only had the mentality of respecting Gu Changge like a god!

‘Yaoyao is really lucky. She has great fortune, and can turn a disaster into a blessing at any time, turning a crisis into an opportunity.’

Even Grandma Yinhua, the only cultivator in this place, was full of excitement and joy in her heart.

A little bit of envy too.

Yaoyao’s fortune was completely unmatched by ordinary people!

To be valued by this unfathomably powerful immortal, and be accepted as his apprentice?

It was thousands of times better than going under the Xianlun Sacred Land.

Even Yaoyao’s elder brother cannot have such a good future as her!

As for suspecting that Gu Changge might have ulterior motives?

She hadn’t thought about it at all.

Considering Gu Changge’s monstrous strength, it would be absolutely no issue to just snatch Yaoyao away, since no one could stop him, not to mention how he’d be able to do so without her noticing.

Why go to such lengths to do something so easy?

With Gu Changge’s identity and strength, she was afraid there had to be an innumerable amount of cultivators who wanted to worship him as their teacher.

“Yeah, you’re actually quite awesome.”

At this moment, listening to her question, Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile, while hiding a double meaning in his words.

The white-robed youth waved his sleeves.

A clear light flashed.

Buzz!

The mud stains on Yaoyao’s face seemed to have been washed by a clear spring, revealing a clean and fair face.

Exquisite and flawless features. Eyes as luminous as jade.

The skin is delicate and white, beautiful like a porcelain doll.

And although her clothes were very basic, and there are many seams to mend, it was still difficult to conceal the amazing immortal charm emanating from her.

A perfect masterpiece of heaven.

Thankfully, due to Granny Yinhua, she usually covered it up.

Otherwise, as long as one is discerning, they would instantly perceive her extraordinary nature.

“Master…”

Yaoyao’s face flushed a rather bright pink.

Growing up, it was rare for her to show her true face in front of people like this.

The little girl’s face was covered in the mud even before her brother had been taken away.

This scene shocked the entire Beishan Village, as she looked like a fairy descended down to earth.

No wonder she was valued by this immortal. She was not a mortal herself.

This kind of temperament, untouched by worldly desires, possesses a natural beauty. Was this a demeanour that could be attained by ordinary people?

“Do not worry.”

“In the future, in front of your teacher, you don’t need to hide. No one in all the realms would dare to take advantage of you.” Gu Changge touched her head and said with a slight smile.

Although she was still a little girl, any female loves beauty on an instinctual level, and wouldn’t want to smear mud on their face every day.

Gu Changge boasted that he had good control over her thoughts.

“Umm, Yaoyao will listen to Master.” Yaoyao nodded obediently.

There was joy in her eyes.

As Gu Changge initially guessed, she actually didn’t like smearing mud on her face.

How can a girl not love beauty?

Buzz!

At this moment, Gu Changge suddenly shook his sleeves.

In the void in front of him, bursts of dazzling immortal lights suddenly appeared, extremely dazzling.

Pieces of exquisite and gorgeous immortal clothes and treasures, colourful immortal skirts, brilliant silk robes, intertwined with various magical runes and chains of law and order.

Manifesting in the void, filled with a frightening terrifying aura.

From appearance alone, these were definitely divine clothes far beyond the norm.

Unique and invaluable. One would be hard-pressed to find another set within the world.

Gorgeous accessories adorned each piece of immortal armour, all kinds of immortal gemstones, bracelets and earrings, combined to form a magnificent scene.

Granny Yinhua’s eyes widened as she gasped in her heart.

She had never seen these things before.

The aura that circulated on every article of immortal clothing was extremely terrifying, as if it could easily crush everything.

Even in a small earring, there were many runes flickering, and there were strands of law hanging.

The terrifying glyphs were horrifyingly shocking!

Except for the immortal, she was afraid that in the entire Tianchen Realm, none other possessed such wealth and generosity.

“Master…”

Yaoyao stared at her for a while, seeing this, was he letting her choose one?

She couldn’t help showing joy in her eyes. It was the first time in her life that she saw such gorgeous clothes and accessories, embroidered with the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars.

Her eyes were dizzy, full of gratitude and joy.

“It’s all for you.”

Gu Changge smiled.

When he was in Heavenly Dao Ancient City, many clothes that Gu Xian’er liked but couldn’t wear after buying them were thrown to him.

At that time, in order to make him bleed heavily, Gu Xian’er always chose the most expensive and most beautiful selections.

It just so happened that these things came in handy today.

Others usually give treasures as a gift when they accept apprentices, but Gu Changge felt that Yaoyao might like these things more.

Moreover, he had no shortage of artistic treasures, there’d be as much as she wanted.

He was rich and powerful after all!

He couldn’t teach apprentices, but he could raise apprentices!

Not to mention Yaoyao’s naive personality, even the rest of the people, under this kind of offensive, would probably feel dizzy and fall quickly.

“It’s all for Yaoyao?”

Hearing this, Yaoyao was a little stunned, and there was some confusion and shock in her eyes.

Suddenly a little overwhelmed.

She thought that the master asked her to choose either one or a few of them, but she didn’t expect it to be all for her.

She can also see that these immortal clothes and accessories were extraordinary and invaluable.

If it was placed in other places, she was afraid that it would set off massive waves and cause blood and rain for countless cultivators.

“Yeah, it’s all for you.” Gu Changge smiled, and with a wave of his hand, gold flashed again in front of his eyes.

Many Divine Artifacts, Immortal Pills, Elixir, and even some relics of the classic… manifested in the void.

He was like a walking treasure house, with resources too numerous to count.

Even a Quasi-Supreme would be greedy, feeling incomparable to Gu Changge’s wealth!

“This……”

Granny Yinhua felt dizzy, especially when she saw the Divine Artifacts that were floating up and down, and her eyes were about to pop out.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the number of Divine Artifacts among them wasn’t just one or two, but in the hundreds.

‘Hundreds of sacred artifacts? What is this concept?’

‘Within a single grab? To show something like this…’

‘What kind of peerless force lay behind this immortal?’

Her scalp numbed as her soul trembled.

‘What kind of terrifying figure did Yaoyao take as her master?’

“Why is Master being so nice to Yaoyao…” Her eyes suddenly became a little wet.

Besides her grandma and brother, he was the third person who treated her so well.

As soon as they met, he gave her so many good things that she was embarrassed to accept them all.

“Silly girl, you have to know that in this world, sometimes the master is a person who is closer to you than your own relatives.”

Seeing her tears, Gu Changge’s expression seemed a bit moved. He sighed softly and ruffled her hair.

A gentle expression, smiling without saying a single word.

“A person who is closer than a relative?” Yaoyao murmured this sentence.

[Blurry: BRO. WTF. Isn’t that lolis-]

Afterwards, at Gu Changge’s insistence, Yaoyao accepted some of the greeting gifts but still refused to ask for too many things.

Very sensible at a young age.

This made Gu Changge very satisfied. If she were an ordinary person, how could she refuse his grace?

He himself was not interested in this little girl.

If it wasn’t to deal with the Reincarnation of Human Ancestor and brushing up his Destiny Points and Fortune Values, he wouldn’t be too lazy to waste so much effort.

It’s just that Yaoyao was also very well-behaved.

Gu Changge felt that while cultivating the always foul-mouthed and bad-tempered Gu Xian’er, taking in a young apprentice like Yaoyao to cleanse his palate would not be a problem.

It should be quite a pleasant experience.

Wasn’t this Gu Changge’s first apprentice?

.

.

.

‘Huh?’

Upon thinking of this, Gu Changge suddenly felt an itch, an abrupt movement in his heart, as if some gap had opened in an unknown corner of it.

He faintly felt some vague images emerging from the depths of his mind.

A figure wrapped in a red as brilliant as blood, murderous and unparalleled.

And the vision of that exact same figure being knocked down by a Demonic Halberd. . . before falling into a bottomless abyss.

The scene was very blurry, and when he remembered the sentence just now, it suddenly appeared and disappeared in a flash.

‘Since my rebirth in the Nirvana Pond, I have been able to vaguely witness some sights and images… did I perhaps seal a part of my memory in the past? Or is it a memory from my previous life?’

Gu Changge frowned secretly.

In fact, he had sensed this recently, something similar to his inheritance of the Immortal Devouring Demonic Arts.

Other than him, no one could imagine that this part of the inheritance naturally emerged in his mind when he was merely three years old.

It was not taught to him by anyone.

In other words, this was a result of the cracked seal, causing memories and inheritances to reappear.

This method was the same as Gu Changge’s own act of sealing his memories of the Demonic Arts Inheritance when he had been afraid of accidentally revealing his identity.

But now, the memories of these seals were beginning to emerge.

‘Could it be that Yaoyao is not my first apprentice?’

Gu Changge faintly felt this part of the memory, a sense of direction and purpose almost like the reminder of the arrival of a Favoured Son of Heaven.

He soon put these thoughts aside and stopped caring.

The most urgent task was to first resolve the matter of the Human Ancestor.

Things will get easier then.

Gu Changge closed his eyes and waited in Beishan Village.

On the other side, with the help of Granny Yinhua, Yaoyao dressed up and put on new clothes before appearing in front of him again.

Compared with her shabby clothes before, she looked completely new and fresh.

Her immortal spirit and immortal bones sang as if there was an endless rhythm of Dao perpetuating and revolving within, gathering into her body.

Under the background of expensive and gorgeous colourful immortal clothes, the hair was soft and incomparable, like a little fairy in the nine heavens.

This made Gu Changge have to admit that she was indeed the Favoured Daughter of Heaven, and as the fruit of the mysterious peach tree, her temperament was unparalleled.

‘Hm. If I’m not mistaken, the next normal routine should be that Yaoyao cannot cultivate…’

‘As a Dao Fruit, she contains extremely terrifying power, but she can’t use it on her own.’

‘Though that doesn’t matter, it saves me the effort to teach her. Just keep feeding her…’

‘Speaking of which, would that not be the perfect time for her master to show concern?’

Gu Changge’s mind flashed many thoughts, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

“Yaoyao, from today onwards, you will leave here and follow Master. Is that alright?”

“Mhm, Yaoyao will listen to Master.” Yaoyao nodded.

Although she has a great relationship with Beishan Village, she also knows that it was impossible for Gu Changge to stay here with her.

“But Master, can’t Grandma leave with us?”

Yaoyao asked tentatively with anticipation on her face.

She felt very sorry for her Grandma Yinhua, but she was not sure whether Gu Changge would agree to take her away with him.

“Since she has raised Yaoyao for so many years, how could I not bring her along?”

Gu Changge smiled casually, but what he said surprised Yaoyao very much

“Thank you, Master!” she exclaimed obediently.

“Thank you, Great Immortal!” Grandma Yinhua echoed with gratitude and excitement.

This was all thanks to Yaoyao, otherwise, she would definitely not be so lucky.

Now that her cultivation base was exposed, if she doesn’t leave, the enemy will soon find her.

From this aspect, following Gu Changge was definitely the best choice.

Of course, she didn’t know that Gu Changge had kept her around for other reasons, and that even if Yaoyao didn’t mention it, he would have also brought her along.

Afterwards, Gu Changge took the two of them and left Beishan Village.

He planned to find an Ancient City in Tian Domain first to seek a good foothold.

And on the other hand, as a master, he would definitely have to fulfil his obligations as a master for Yaoyao at this time.

Passing on the exercises, refining the body, building the foundation… the process that should be followed has to be followed once again.

During this period of time, terrifying rumours began to appear in various restricted areas of Tian Domain and the Xianlun Sacred Land, causing a sensation among all parties.

A man in white and his three followers: A little girl, an old woman, and a servant, had gone straight to the major restricted areas and the Xianlun Sacred Land, as if entering territories without any rulers, to ask for various Divine Blood and Holy Medicines.

Even visiting a master of a restricted area who had lived for more than 100,000 years and reached the Peak Sacred Realm.

The most precious horn, slashed off by the man in white with a blade, and the rarest blood essence, were taken to build the foundation for that little girl.

It was a violation of the natural order so grand that Xianlun Sacred Land’s numerous Sacred Realm experts refused to accept it. As a result, the white-robed man’s servant promptly wiped them all out of existence, in a single palm, causing the discussion to ripple through the entire domain.

All kinds of terrifying rumours spread, and made the many Xianlun Sacred Land and restricted areas uneasy, for fear of when it would be their turn next!

The news shocked countless cultivators and creatures to the extreme.

Many people speculated that the Great Immortal who appeared in Xuan Domain had come to Tian Domain!

And the identity of that little girl also shocked countless Daoist forces, leading to all kinds of speculations about her.

— — —

[At the same time]

The head of the Black Wind Bandits was in a cold sweat after listening to the reports of the masters.

The incident in Beishan Village had not only shocked them but even the forces in other places that had heard of it.

When the immortal descended on that day, all the bandits who raised their hands were wiped away from the heavens and the earth.

Such a fairy tale was even more shocking when the villagers of Beishan Village told it in person, which led to many forces quietly sending people to investigate the matter.

Today’s Beishan Village was different from the past, although it was still full of mortals without any cultivation.

It became an anomaly no force dared to provoke.

Because some cultivators speculated that the little girl next to the Supreme Immortal was exactly someone who came out of Beishan Village!

So much so that the villagers of Beishan Village seemed to have a relationship with the immortal.

Even some Sacred Land disciples did not dare to offend them too much when they saw them!

“Leader, should we still take revenge?”

The third master next to him asked with a solemn expression.

But before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the leader in the face.

“Revenge? Revenge, my a*s! Remember this one thing for me, okay? Don’t ask me anything about Beishan Village, don’t say a word, just pretend you don’t know!”

The leader said fiercely, but only he alone knew that his back was now wet with cold sweat.

‘That Supreme Immortal is definitely the mysterious Lord who suddenly appeared during that time!’

He was convinced about this.

He didn’t know why the Supreme Immortal arranged something like this, but he knew this kind of thing was better left unquestioned.

The Black Wind Bandits Leader was rather wise. He knew that the Supreme Immortal not taking action to wipe out the entire Black Wind Bandits, was already the greatest gift!

Or perhaps he was giving him a subtle warning.

Buzz!

Thinking of this, the leader of the bandits was even more decisive, and he directly took action, cutting off the section of his memory that contained the forbidden information!

At this time, no one except the Supreme Immortal knew that the Black Wind Bandit suddenly wanted to slaughter the village, and that it was arranged by him.

No one could trace the truth anymore.

— — —

[On the other side]

Gu Changge took Yaoyao to travel in the Tian Domain, looking for some precious Divine Blood for her to train with.

At the same time, he also learned a lot about her and her brother.

Of course, these things have to start from when Grandma Yinhua accidentally picked up a baby by the river after she lived in seclusion.

Grandma Yinhua was also a disciple of an incomparably powerful Sacred Land back then, and she had particularly good talent.

But for some reason, the Sacred Land where she was in a rapid decline, and after encountering an enemy, it fell apart.

Gu Changge was not interested in this.

If he was the Favoured Son of Heaven, maybe he would eventually help Grandma Yinhua to restore her Sacred Land or something.

However, as a villain, it benefited him none by doing so.

And the baby that Granny Yinhua picked up was naturally Yaoyao’s older brother, the current Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor, Jiang Yang.

From this point of view, Jiang Yang might have a background of bitterness and hatred behind him and was abandoned by his parents because of some last resort.

Gu Changge was not interested in learning about it.

The name Jiang Yang was different from the usual Favoured Son of Heaven.

Gu Changge was a little surprised that there was no Chen, Fan, Hao, etc., but it was reasonable.

Like this kind of reincarnation, the Favoured Son of Heaven, was not comparable to that kind of cliché.

This kind of start was high, the identity background was strong, and it was estimated that even his temperament would be a few streets away from those ordinary Favoured ones*.

[*: Favoured Sons of Heaven]

But Gu Changge didn’t find it challenging.

After all, this wasn’t the Upper Realm to have someone interfere with his plans.

In the Tianchen Realm, though he didn’t outright say that he could cover the sky with one hand, it was actually not much different.

‘Now that the identity of the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation has been determined, everything is easy to handle.’

‘Kill the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor. Nip the problem in the bud.’

‘And drain all his Fortune Value along the way.’

This was Gu Changge’s next purpose and plan.

From Grandma Yinhua’s words, Gu Changge understood that Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation was taken away more than a year ago by the cultivators of Xianlun Sacred Land to practice, and he has been silent ever since.

Supreme Xianlun was the ancestor of Xianlun Sacred Land.

This surprised Gu Changge.

According to the barriers of the Tianchen Realm, the Great Sacred Realm was the limit. If one wanted to achieve Quasi-Supreme, they needed some Fortune or chance.

Or they needed to enter closed-door cultivation for many years to achieve a breakthrough.

Yet the ancestor of this Xianlun Sacred Land turned out to be a Supreme.

This can only show that he’s not a person born in this realm, and may also be someone from the Upper Realm.

In addition, Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation was now practicing in Xianlun Sacred Land, but Gu Changge doesn’t know how much of his memory has awakened.

‘Memory Awakening is a nice way to put it, but it’s actually seizing the original’s body; swallowing up his consciousness and letting the previous life memories dominate…’

Gu Changge smiled with deep meaning.

Dealing with such a Favoured Son of Heaven, with such a familiar trope, was naturally within his grasp.

He had already thought about how the plan would go.

Yaoyao and Grandma Yinhua, as the relatives of the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestors, were naturally his key weakness.

On the other hand, except for Gu Changge, no one knows the true identity of the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation.

Not even Yaoyao…
