The Ancient Immortal Continent was vast beyond measure, with endless immortal mountain ranges that resembled dragons flying around, like a world never seen before.
The atmosphere had an ancient aura seeping everywhere, as if it came from the primordial times to give birth to all under heaven.
Still, the most important matter for the Young Supremes of the various heritages wasn’t the scenery, but to bring together all of their disciples so as to prevent them from getting ambushed.
Here, their peers and the aborigines of the Continent were their foes.
No one dared to take this trip lightly.
Soon, Gu Changge also arrived at the Continent with a group of his followers and disciples from the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace.
Their group landed in a valley.
The terrain of the valley was flat, and they could see an emerald lake in the distance that seemed to be made up of Spiritual Qi.
“Master, where should we go now?”
A tall creature from among his followers walked out and asked Gu Changge for instructions.
“Go east.”
Gu Changge pondered for a moment and then commanded.
At the same time, he took a glance at Jin Zhou and the others behind him; to be honest, he didn’t wish to bring this bunch of True Disciples with him.
Jin Zhou and the others weren’t weak — after all, they were Young Supremes — and they also had quite a lot of followers.
If they followed him, then his group would most-likely get into conflict with their group when they chanced upon some opportunity.
Gu Changge wasn’t someone who would take a loss, but he was too lazy to deal with such trifles.
“Since Senior Brother Gu is going to the east, then we will head to the west. Later, all of us should find a way to meet in the central area.”
Jin Zhou and the others weren’t stupid either, and understood that they won’t get any benefits if they followed Gu Changge…no, they might even end up slaving away for him if they went with him.
So, as smart people, they bid their farewell and went on their way.
Gu Changge’s expression showed no change as he was too lazy to say anything in response.
What’s more? This was exactly what he wanted.
Soon, only Yin Mei and Gu Changge’s followers were left on the scene.
Gu Changge didn’t allow Yan Ji to follow him inside the Ancient Immortal Contient this time as that would expose Yan Ji’s existence, and that was something he didn’t want to see.
Moreover, it was possible that Yan Ji wouldn’t even be able to get inside with her mighty Cultivation Base.
Here, all the Young Supremes had to rely on themselves, and none of them were allowed to bring in any guardians.
So, for Gu Changge, this might be his…greatest hunting season.
As long as a Young Supreme piques his interest, they won’t be able to escape their fate of dying at his hands as he swallowed their origin or planted a [Great Dao Treasured Bottle] inside their Primordial Spirits to control them.
It’s just that he must tread with caution and do all this with great care.
Once his actions are discovered, he would need to pin even more blame on Ye Ling’s head.
“Let’s go.”
With those words, everyone followed Gu Changge’s lead and headed towards the east.
If he wasn’t wrong, then the Vermillion Bird Family’s people would be in that direction.
‘Master asked me to find a chance to get close to Ye Ling; it seems that Ye Ling also sneaked in here. I think he will take the initiative to find me.’
Yin Mei followed Gu Changge while thinking about his command.
Gu Changge’s followers had no idea that Yin Mei was also in his camp.
Yin Mei reckoned that it wouldn't be hard for her to trick Ye Ling.
On the way, Gu Changge felt that their luck wasn’t all that great this time. Even after traveling through tens of thousands of miles, they didn’t come across a single creature, and this made Gu Changge wonder if they somehow entered some forbidden region?
Still, they did chance upon a lot of opportunities on the way. He discovered countless Mystical Herbs that had long disappeared from the world — these herbs had grown for innumerable years, so their fragrance spread far and wide.
Although Gu Changge disliked these things, the followers behind him were more than happy to take whatever they could find.
‘There’s no way I am going to find anything like this.’
‘The Ancient Immortal Continent is vaster than I expected! I should have asked the Great Elder for some information when I had the chance.’
Gu Changge frowned.
After that, his majestic and vast Spiritual Sense swept towards the horizon like a gigantic wave.
Anyway, there weren’t any other strong cultivators here, so he wasn’t worried about exposing his mighty Primordial Spirit’s secret.
Soon, Gu Changge sensed the aura of the Vermillion Bird Family’s people from not too far away, only a few thousand miles away at most.
Before them, though, he sensed the sound of battle and brilliant rays of light soaring into the sky.
Divine runes flashed with brilliance one after another and spread in every direction, and he could tell that the ones battling weren’t weak — they were at least in the Conferred King Realm.
Gu Changge’s Spiritual Sense soon perceived a Young Supreme from the Upper Realm who was trying to get his hands on a sword grass that resembled a star; the sword grass released mighty sword intent that made the Void vibrate.
The sword grass resembled a magnificent star, and he could see lines on its leaves that resembled the veins of a star.
The place where the sword grass grew showed a strange scene where strands of sword light could be seen hanging from the sky.
The Young Supreme’s opponent was a violent beast that was about to enter the True God Realm, and the two fought together as if nothing in the world could separate them.
“Master, it seems that someone’s fighting in that direction.”
Gu Changge silently stood on a mountain peak, while a follower behind him said with a puzzled face, “Are we going to take a look?”
“There’s no need to intervene in such matters.”
Gu Changge said with a wave of his hand.
Of course, he wouldn’t go there. The reason he came all the way here was to find the Vermillion Bird Family, so he could create an opportunity for Yin Mei.
As long as Yin Mei wasn’t too far away from him, he could feel her position.
Once they found the Vermillion Bird Family, he would put Yin Mei beside Ye Ling and then keep track of Ye Ling’s position through her, and then pick the fruit once it ripened.
Wouldn’t that be the most convenient method of doing things?
Yin Mei understood Gu Changge’s thoughts, so her eyes shifted a bit here and there, and then she said, “Senior Brother Gu, I can only come this far with you, so let’s part ways now.”
She also brought her followers along, so she couldn’t show the slightest flaw in her actions when dealing with Gu Changge. On the surface, she had to pretend that they weren’t on good terms.
“Alright! Junior Sister Yin Mei, make sure you pay attention to your safety.”
Gu Changge nodded with a calm expression.
Afterwards, he watched Yin Mei leave his group and rush in the direction of the battle with the intent to intervene.
Gu Changge nodded with satisfaction and the interest in his heart rose to another level.
Didn’t Ye Ling always desire to obtain Yin Mei’s heart? He had sent her to him now.
He specially created an opportunity for him to be a ‘hero saving a damsel in distress.’
Yin Mei would go to snatch the sword grass and then put herself in a disadvantaged position. After a while, Ye Ling would sense the fluctuations caused by the battle, and wouldn’t be able to hold himself back from playing the hero who would save the beauty.
Gu Changge had read this trope countless times.
Today, he specially created such an opportunity for Ye Ling, so he reckoned that Ye Ling must be quite grateful to him once he found out.
After that, Gu Changge didn’t stay on the spot anymore and decided to leave.
After all, he had other matters to deal with.
The Ancient Immortal Continent was far too vast, and what he desired was most likely hidden in the place where the aborigines gathered.
The place where the aborigines gathered could also help him find opportunities in the form of their ancestral tombs.
Gu Changge had long been craving those immortal corpses!
And even if there were no immortal corpses there, the corpses of Ancient Emperors wouldn’t be a waste either, if he could find some.
Of course, Gu Changge hoped that the ancestors of the aborigines wouldn’t be like the ancestors of his Ancient Immortal Gu Family who loved to bury themselves underground and sleep inside coffins for their secluded cultivation.
Those actions of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family’s ancestors were unacceptable in his eyes.
