Before long, Gu Xianer interrupted Yue Mingkongs thoughts.

She returned to her senses, and looked at the cold and arrogant beauty in front of her with a gentle expression, just like an elder sister next door looking at her younger sister.

Gu Xianer had delicate and lovely features that made her look like a doll that had come out from a painting; she was tall, slender, and had a pair of long legs. Her body was covered by her blue dress, and no extra skin could be seen except for her face, hands, and feet.

Yue Mingkong remembered that this was something taught to her by one of her masters, who told her that girls had to protect themselves and cover up when outside.

Gu Xianer herself told her this in their previous life, and Yue Mingkong recalled laughing at the reasoning non-stop back then.

Yue Mingkong, what do you want from me?

Right then, Gu Xianer broke the awkward silence between the two of them with a question. From the looks of it, she could tell that Yue Mingkong wasnt here with malice.

Gu Xianer could easily see through the hidden intentions of people, so she put down her guard a little.

Yue Mingkongs soft expression didnt change as she listened to her tone, and she said,You dont need to be so cold and distant; I am a few years older than you, so you can call me Big Sis.

Yue Mingkong took a few steps forward and narrowed the distance between the two of them.

On one hand, she was older than Gu Xianer, and on the other hand, she was Gu Changges fiance, who was Gu Xianers cousin, so there was nothing wrong with Gu Xianer calling her Big Sis or the like.

Gu Xianer was puzzled by Yue Mingkongs actions as she couldnt understand why she had such a warm attitude towards her. Still, since the other party was speaking to her with a smile and there was also no grudge between the two of them Gu Xianers cold attitude eased up a little, and she asked,What brought you here?

She felt a little strange, and wondered just why Yue Mingkong was watching her with that expression of pity just now? Gu Xianer had a high self-esteem, so she couldnt help but feel a little uncomfortable, but she didnt show any of that on the surface.

I heard that you were cultivating under the Great Elder, and had nothing else to do beside cultivation, so I decided to visit you.

Yue Mingkong replied with a smile.

She understood just how vigilant of a person Gu Xianer was, so she made sure to consider her words before she spoke, to make sure that Gu Xianer wouldnt think that she was here with ulterior motives.

Is that all?

Gu Xianer was somewhat unconvinced by her words, and took a closer look at the space behind Yue Mingkong her eyebrows wrinkled when she didnt see anyone.

Did Gu Changge not come with you?

She asked with a tone that held some disappointment.

Not seeing Gu Changges disgusting face behind Yue Mingkong wasnt something she was expecting, and thats what disappointed her.

Since Yue Mingkong was here, why did Gu Changge not follow her?

Just how long had it been since the last time he came to the Great Elders peak to see her?

Gu Xianer thought that now that she had broken through to the Conferred Lord Realm, she could test out her might against Gu Changge. After all, she had always been able to defeat those stronger than; to her, crossing realms to fight was as easy as flipping her hand.

Although Gu Changge was mighty, it didnt mean that she was any worse than him.

Whats more? She had inherited the knowledge of countless cultivation heritages, and her masters had taught her innumerable Mystical Abilities since she was a child.

He left the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace and went to the Heavenly Dao Ancient City. I dont know what hes doing there, though.

Yue Mingkong explained.

Since Gu Changge didnt tell her what he was up to, it was only normal that she didnt know.

Still, from what she knew about Gu Changge, he was probably sniffing around for opportunities in the Heavenly Dao Ancient City by checking around on all the people who had gathered from the different Heritages.

Gu Changge was, after all, a bad apple who only thought about stealing opportunities all day long.

What puzzled Yue Mingkong, however, was the fact that Gu Xianer showed not a shred of hatred when she mentioned Gu Changge just now. Instead of hatred, there was a trace of visible disappointment on her face because she didnt get to see Gu Changge.

Just what was going on? Didnt Gu Xianer hate Gu Changge from the bottom of her heart?

Yue Mingkong couldnt figure out just what was going on.

But soon, she decided not to think too much into the matter, and continued,I have heard some details of what happened back then, and I agree that what Gu Changge did was too muchin the future, I will find a way to protect you from him. Gu Changge Changge is an extremely dangerous person, and you cant even imagine his methods; make sure you dont come into conflict with him unless you are absolutely sure of coming out on top

This was the most that Yue Mingkong could say right now. As for whether Gu Xianer would believe her or not? That had nothing to do with her.

Gu Xianer was left puzzled when she heard her words, and wondered if Yue Mingkong specially came here just to say this to her?

Still, she could feel Yue Mingkongs kind intentions, so she responded,I see. Thank you for your kindness.

I am somewhat puzzled, by the way. Arent you Gu Changges fiance? Why are you saying all this to me?

Gu Xianer asked.

Its because I I dont know how else to suppress the feelings of guilt and anxiety in my heart

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yue Mingkongs face for a moment, but it soon disappeared, and then she responded to Gu Xianers question.

I will pay for the evil he has committed.

Gu Xianer was stunned by her response and fell silent.

She didnt doubt the fact that Yue Mingkong was telling the truth, and that was exactly what shocked her. Just how much must one love someone to say that they would pay for their evil?

Speaking of which, Yue Mingkong was also a pitiful person.

Gu Xianers indifferent expression subsided a lot as she thought of this. She wasnt a heartless person who couldnt feel someone elses kindness.

Afterwards, Yue Mingkong smiled and took the initiative to chat with Gu Xianer. Once they started speaking, there was no stopping them, especially when she already knew about Gu Xianers hobbies.

Before long, Gu Xianer felt as if she had found a confidant.

Since they started chatting about anything and everything, it was inevitable that they would discuss Gu Changge.

From time to time, Gu Xianer would ask about Gu Changge and what he was up to, and this puzzled Yue Mingkong. Yue Mingkong couldnt help but wonder just what went down between Gu Changge and Gu Xianer before she arrived at the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace?

Why was Gu Xianer not as hostile towards Gu Changge as she expected her to be? How come she was asking about Gu Changge with such zeal?

Of course, she couldnt just ask outright about her sudden change, after all, the matter involved certain secrets and memories that couldnt be touched.

While the two were chatting, the Void in the distance fluctuated, and massive waves of aura disturbed them.

Soon, the Great Elder walked out of thin air, and he didnt seem to look all that good.

Immediately, he saw Yue Mingkong and then shifted his gaze away from her after a single glance he had no good feelings for Gu Changges fiance either.

Master

Gu Xianer respectfully greeted the Great Elder.

I pay my respects to the Great Elder.

Yue Mingkong also stood up and greeted him without taking his dismissive attitude to heart. After all, she had barged into his place without permission, so it wasnt unexpected for him to not like her.

Of course, she also held the Great Elders existence in high regard, so such a trivial matter wasnt worth taking to heart.

Xianer, you have already broken through to the Conferred Lord Realm? Thats great! You are much faster than that Gu Changge brat.

The Great Elder couldnt help but feel satisfied as soon as he noticed Gu Xianers current cultivation realm, and her fast progress washed away his depressed mood.

After that, he turned to look at Yue Mingkong, and nodded to her in response to her greeting, and then asked,Wheres Gu Changge? Why dont I see him around?

Yue Mingkong was neither subservient nor overbearing as she responded,Changge isnt in the Palace right now; he went to the Heavenly Dao Ancient City to deal with some matters.

She couldnt address Gu Changge by his full name in front of outsiders, as that might make it seem as if the relationship between the two wasnt going all that great, and that might cause trouble for Gu Changge.

Even though Gu Changge wasnt here, she still kept these little details in mind, and appeared to be very supportive of him.

Gu Xianer noticed this, and couldnt help but sigh in her heart. Yue Mingkong wasnt the Crown Princess of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty for nothing, just the thoughtfulness she gave to etiquette was commendable.

The Great Elder wasnt surprised by her response; he, too, wasnt expecting Gu Changge to hop over to his mountain so soon after what went down the last time.

It just so happened that he didnt want to see Gu Changges face anyway.

Alas! There were some things that couldnt be avoided no matter how much one disliked them.

The Great Elder fell into thought for a while, and then said,Alright, this old man will go to the Supreme Peak and wait for him there.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

After he said those words, the Great Elder flicked the sleeve of his robe and the Void in front of him fluctuated; at the same time, a Spatial Channel appeared out of thin air, and the Great Elder walked in.

Gu Xianer would, of course, not stay behind after seeing an opportunity to have an outing. After all, she was forced to stay on top of the mountain for such a long time that she almost felt suffocated, so she followed after the Great Elder with Yue Mingkong.

The Spatial Channel closed behind them soon after.

[Supreme Peak.]

Gu Changge paced around inside his residence with his hands behind his back, lost in thought. He had just returned from the Heavenly Dao Ancient City.

Yin Mei had also collected a good amount ofcultivation resourcesfor him over the last period of time, so he made a trip down to the dungeon to get his fill on the way back.

After this times cultivation, his hidden Cultivation Base had broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, and he was no longer just a Half-Step Heavenly God.

The difference between Half-Step Heavenly God and Full-Fledged Heavenly God wasnt minor.

All below the Heavenly Gods were ants.

This sentence wasnt an exaggeration. A Heavenly God could look down on all True Gods and those below that Realm; Heavenly Gods held boundless, uncontestable might!

Whats more? Gu Changge was a Young Supreme with countless cards up his sleeve, so even ordinary God Kings would perish under his palm if they were pitted against him.

Of course, Gu Changge was extremely satisfied with his unimaginable cultivation speed that could be said to be going against the Heavens themselves, and was even faster than jacking himself up using Destiny Points.

The [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art] was indeed a taboo art. It was worthy of its status as a Forbidden Inheritance that could break all restrictions faced by the masses.

It could devour the very origin of its target, including their Cultivation Base and Primordial Spirit, and raise the wielders cultivation. At the same time, it could refine the devoured energy into [Great Dao Treasured Bottles] that got rid of any conflicts that the energy would otherwise have with his personal cultivation.

At the end of the day, the [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art] could only be regarded as a supplementary method of cultivation, and it wasnt a standalone cultivation technique; it was similar to Gu Changge adding Destiny Points to his cultivation, but instead of Destiny Points, it required variouscultivation resourcesto be devoured in order to raise his Cultivation Base.

In addition to helping him improve his cultivation, Yin Mei was also monitoring every move of Bai Lie, the Young Master of the White Tiger Family, and noticed that Bai Lie had left the Heavenly Dao Ancient City for another Ancient City in Immeasurable Heaven.

Gu Changge guessed that Ye Ling might be in that other city.

Of course, he wouldnt act now and startle his prey into hiding.

The inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation couldnt be allowed to stay in the hands of a measly Ye Ling for long. Moreover, as a Favored Son of Heaven, the benefits Ye Ling would bring him wouldnt be as simple as a mere inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation.

Now that Gu Changge was in the dark and Ye Ling was in the light, it would be an easy job for him to deal with this newly-birthed Favored Son.

Other than that, Gu Changge estimated that Yue Mingkong, as a regressor, must hold knowledge of even more opportunities beside just a mere Ye Ling. She must also know Ye Lings future development route.

Her knowledge of the future was her greatest trump card.

Letting Yue Mingkong go for a nobody like Ye Ling was the same as chewing on an empty shell after one lost the fruit inside.

I just went out for a while, and this girl, Yue Mingkong, disappeared.

Gu Changge thought with a frown.

Yue Mingkong wasnt at the Supreme Peak, so he couldnt help but wonder just where she might have gone to at this time?

Did she sneak into the depths of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace while he was away, or did she figure out a method to kill Ye Ling?

He was too lazy to ask the other disciples.

Hmmshe must have gone to look for Gu Xianer.

Gu Changge narrowed his eyes as this possibility appeared in his mind.

Speaking of which, both Yue Mingkong and Gu Xianer wanted to kill him, so it wasnt unreasonable for the two of them to join forces. He didnt take it to heart, however, as even if the two joined forces, they wouldnt be able to stand a chance against him.

To him, the current affairs of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace held greater priority right now.

Gu Changge

Out of nowhere, the Void outside his residence fluctuated, and a Spatial Channel appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, the Great Elder walked out of the Spatial Channel with a slightly downcast complexion.

Gu Xianer and Yue Mingkong followed behind him.

Oh! What brings you to the Supreme Peak, Great Elder?

Gu Changge swept a glance at hisguestsand asked with an indifferent tone.

He had already guessed that the Great Elders sudden visit must be related to the position of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palaces heir. The Elders had discussed this matter not too long ago, and he had naturally got some news regarding it.

And it was very likely that Yue Mingkong and Gu Xianer were discussing how to deal with him, so once their discussion ended, the Great Elder brought them along.

He had expected such a day long ago, when the Great Elder would beg him to be the Palaces heir.

Gu Changge stood with a calm and unhurried demeanor. No matter how much the Great Elder hated him, he would have no choice but to swallow that hatred and take a step back before him.

Does this old man need your permission to come over to the Supreme Peak?

The Great Elders expression worsened when he saw Gu Changges insufferable expression, and faint rage flared in his eyes.

He had cultivated for countless eons and reached a point where his mood couldnt be moved easily, but Gu Changge never failed to anger him; this made the Great Elder wonder if there was something wrong with his state of mind recently.

Of course, you dont need my permission to be here, but if you have nothing to say to me, then please leave. I have something to discuss with Mingkong, and it will be inconvenient if there are outsiders around us.

Gu Changge responded with a calm and natural expression, and outright asked the Great Elder to leave as soon as he opened his mouth.
