Chapter 140: Ordinary Piece Of Trash; Young Man, Do You Want To Become Stronger?
Gu Changge didn’t expect to learn so much information from a being in the Heavenly God Realm that he caught so easily.
There was a hidden Immortal Cave belonging to the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation in addition to the Enlightenment Platform.
Gu Changge also guessed the existence of a slave mark based on the instructions of the elders.
Combined with his knowledge of a few good old-fashioned tropes, he had completely guessed everything at once.
After the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation suppressed the ancestors of these creatures, he did not kill them.
Instead, he planted slave marks and left them with tasks.
Tasks such as guarding the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation’s Secret Treasure that was left behind for his Heir.
But as time went by, they were bound to have second thoughts.
Currently, many powerful creatures are searching for the whereabouts of Ye Ling and others, which serves to prove this point.
Although Gu Changge was also planning to snatch Ye Ling’s opportunity, he was now, instead, planning to save Ye Ling’s life so that he may carry the black pot of the Forbidden Demonic Arts on his head more firmly.
He wanted to kill Ye Ling, but it was impossible at this point in time.
Fortunately, Gu Changge already devised a careful plan for what to do next.
It just so happened that he could also profit off this slave mark.
‘Speaking of which, the Enlightenment Platform left by the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation doesn’t belong to Ye Ling alone. Otherwise, these creatures would’ve refused to let go after occupying it for so long.’
Gu Changge thought of this before he devoured the corpse in his Inner World and left right after that.
According to the results of the soul search, there were five major clans near this site, all of whom had ancestors that were slaves to the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation.
Now they were searching for Ye Ling.
‘With Ye Ling’s current ability, it would be impossible for him to snatch opportunities from under the watchful guidance of the five major clans. However, since it’s a test, Ye Ling should be given a chance.’
‘These ancients really do enjoy such old-fashioned tropes. After all, who cared whether they had to endure a test or not if they could get an opportunity nowadays?’
Gu Changge couldn’t help but laugh at this.
‘For Ye Ling to find the hidden Immortal Cave of the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation, there should’ve been a method left behind to ensure that the five major clans are kept in check and the balance is maintained. This method should force the clans to surrender, tremendously aiding him.’
‘If I’m correct, the hidden Immortal Cave should be a portable Minor World. I wonder how it compares to my Inner World? This Ancient Deity of Reincarnation left many good things for Ye Ling.’
‘But even after so many careful preparations, it’ll still become mine in the end.’
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes and smiled with a playful expression that lingered for a short while.
He had analysed the cause and effects of the situation, predicting even events that were bound to happen in the future.
Ye Ling’s next move was obviously to find the Immortal Cave hidden by the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation.
He would definitely not stop Ye Ling. On the contrary, he was planning on giving him a little bit of help so that he could easily find the hidden Immortal Cave.
Gu Changge didn’t have the leisure to go through this so-called test.
He has always enjoyed picking the last of the ripened fruits.
‘I don’t know how long this process will take, but I do know that there’s no need to rush with Yin Mei right beside Ye Ling.’
As he thought of this, he felt relieved.
The void blurred as Gu Changge stepped a few thousand feet away, quickly leaving this place and then departing from the area entirely.
His figure walked through the void, avoiding a large number of creatures.
During this period, he passed many ancient architectural relics and rushed to the depths of the city.
In terms of scale, when compared with the ancient cities outside, this city was not at all small. Actually, it was even better in some aspects.
The pavilions were vast, tall, and held an incredibly awe-inspiring appearance.
In the area in front was a majestic wave that told of ancient and chaotic powers, recounting the tales of past glories.
‘According to the memory of that creature in the Heavenly God Realm, among the five major clans, the Elders of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan are the ones in power whose Cultivation Bases have reached beyond the Great Sacred Realm.’
In the void, Gu Changge’s figure loomed.
He scanned the ground below with a calm expression.
There were many civilians and guards here.
Many places were also engraved with vast and majestic formations that held tyrannical might.
If it was urged to do so, it could easily kill any existence below the True God Realm.
In addition, there were many False God Realm leaders on patrol everywhere.
‘The ancestors of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan should be deeper inside. Their Cultivation Bases are said to be beyond the Great Sacred Realm, and so it’s possible that some of them have even reached the Quasi-Supreme Realm.’
‘If I choose to confront them head-on, it would be quite troublesome, and even my identity may be revealed.’
Gu Changge had a little thought in his eyes.
Naturally, he had a plan, a plan he was quite confident in.
This time, unlike the outside world, he could not use the terrifying background behind him to crush people at will.
Suppressing people with background is cool, convenient and fast, but it is also necessary to do it at the right time.
‘The Enlightenment Platform is now in the hands of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan. It seems that I’ll have to start with them.’
He soon thought of this.
The void blurred, Gu Changge stepped with his hand in his hand, his figure flickered, and he left there straight away.
He was heading to a very lively pavilion where creatures came and went all the time.
The three characters “Drunken Immortal Pavilion” were written in Ancient characters[1].
[1: The characters used in the Ancient Immortal Continent language.]
Judging from the memory of the existence of the Heavenly God Realm, he can choose to start from here for the weakness of the chief patriarch of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan.
And at this moment…
The top floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was surrounded by gold and blue immortal mist.
Several young creatures talked among themselves. Their appearances were not human, they were shrouded in mist and wore extraordinary-looking clothes and accessories.
A young man in the centre was surrounded by a few people, holding a nice foreign girl in his arms.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes. His fair face had a lighthearted expression, and on his back was a pair of jet-black wings. He was like a giant eagle spreading its wings.
Naturally, these people were communicating in the Ancient Language[2].
[2: Ancient Immortal Continent Language]
One of the young women had a beautiful face and jade-like skin, but with a snake’s tail.
She spoke with curiosity in her voice.
“What’s all this fuss in the city that has got everyone riled up so much?”
“Surprisingly, even several experts were dispatched. What’s more, some of them were even in the Heavenly God Realm. When I looked outside, they seemed to be searching for something… or someone. Could it be that they’re searching the city for a cultivator who came from the outside?”
“It’s very possible. The outside cultivators are very bold to dare trespass on the city we guard. How unbelievable. Do they really think that their elders can save them just because we’re not allowed to take action?” Someone laughed.
Hearing that, another young creature said with a bit of disdain, “If it wasn’t for abiding by that year’s agreement of not moving to the outside world, how could there be any Daoist sects now?”
They knew about this “training”, and they knew that it was held jointly by the Immortal Ancient Race in the Immortal Ancient Continent and the outside Daoist Sects.
It was officially a battle between the younger generations, but who could say for certain that the older generations wouldn’t interfere in secret?
However, they dared to come here. As such, they must be prepared to pay the price.
“All five of the major clans sent out their people to catch someone, so it should be rather important.”
As they spoke, they looked at the man in the middle with gorgeous clothes and a slightly drunken expression.
“Aside from being as powerful as always, Brother Hei Ming now also has a follower in the Heavenly God Realm. We have been competing for so long, yet we still aren’t a match for him.”
A young man named Hei Ming sat in the middle.
Upon hearing this, a small smile beamed with a hint of triumph.
But at this moment, he merely shook his head and replied, “Commander Black Rain is no longer by my side. He’s been dispatched by grandfather, looking for any suspicious outsiders nearby.”
When they heard this, everyone was a little surprised. Their curiosity grew as they wondered about the recent events.
The woman with a snake tail couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Hei Ming, do you know what happened? Why are the five major clans suddenly acting like this?”
After all, among them, Hei Ming was the only direct disciple of the five major clans, specifically the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan.
He may know a lot more than the rest of the group did.
Although their backgrounds were far from common, they were quite far from being a direct disciple of the five major clans.
Fortunately for them, Hei Ming got along well with them as his status wasn’t much higher in the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan either.
In this world of ‘The Weak is Prey to the Strong’, the true direct disciples of the five major clans looked down upon them.
However, when compared with the rest of his peers in the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan, Hei Ming’s cultivation talent was mediocre at best and worthless at worst.
It had gotten to the point that, in this area, there were rumours painting Hei Ming as the waste wood of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan!
Many creatures taunted him in secret, and as for his peers in the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan? They either didn’t care or dismissed him outright.
Thanks to large amounts of varying cultivation resources, Hei Ming now possessed the strength of someone in the Transcendent Realm, but the power of the Great Transcendent Realm was but a far-fetched dream for him.
The Black Heavenly Eagle Clan is ashamed of this, and he was naturally ashamed as well.
Because of this, Hei Ming’s once highly motivated and hard-working willpower gradually began to deteriorate.
Thus, he drank away his sorrows and lingered in the land of smoke and willows all day long.
Then, they became the first of the four so-called Macaroni[3].
[3: slang for a man who “exceeded the ordinary bounds of fashion” in terms of clothes, fastidious eating, and gambling]
Hei Ming’s experience was so tragic and pitiful that Gu Changge almost misunderstood something while searching the soul of that creature in the Heavenly God Realm.
Did he once again encounter some terrible heaven-slapping routine?
Obviously not.
Hei Ming’s cultivation talent was just that bad, and the only thing good about him was his background. His Big Sis was the most outstanding genius of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan, and his grandfather was its most powerful elder.
Because of his powerful background, even if he was only a Macaroni that only causes trouble and doesn’t think about his cultivation, there wasn’t a person out there who would dare say anything to provoke him.
How much wind and waves can a harmless Marconi disciple make anyway?
On the contrary, many people knelt and sucked up to him so that they could get closer to the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan.
This went doubly for recent times when many creatures learned that the Big Sis of Hei Ming was apparently favoured by Long Teng of the True Dragon Clan from the Ancient Immortal Race. Thus, his background rose to even greater heights.
Even Hei Ming got a follower in the Heavenly God Realm. For a while, he was extremely envied by many young creatures.
At that moment, he heard the woman from the Snake Clan ask him.
Hei Ming also pretended to answer, saying, “I heard that it’s about the fate of the five major clans. At that time, the clan elders of the other families also came to discuss…”
A good guess, but he didn’t know the actual reason.
His status in the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan was so embarrassing that it was like he wasn’t even there.
Other than Big Sis and Grandpa, almost no one cared about him.
He didn’t show anything on the outside, but deep down, he still had many ambitions and aspirations. He wanted to be a dazzling genius like his Big Sis, a person to be admired by millions.
Buzz!
At this moment, the group of young creatures were too busy talking and laughing to even notice.
In the void beside them, faint ripples spread.
Even if someone is in the Sacred Realm, it would be impossible to perceive such fluctuations.
With the Cultivation Base of the people there, it was even more so.
“Young man, do you want to become stronger? Do you want to become an existence that towers over hundreds of millions of people?”
Suddenly, an ethereal voice entered Hei Ming’s ears.
