Chapter 243: Someone is sour; She’s the sister, okay?
[Upper Realm, Inner Region, Ancient Immortal Gu Family.]
Gu Changge took Yaoyao away from Tianchen Realm, passing through several realms along the way, before they finally arrived at his residence.
The things that she saw along the way had made her eyes widen in shock, so many different things that she’d never even seen or heard of before.
One such instance was when she caught a glimpse of the Divine Hall of Guidance travelling the universe, traversing its chaotic straits.
It was a miracle beyond words!
If it weren’t for Gu Changge’s patient explanations, she would’ve never even considered that such a thing had actually existed.
The Tianchen Realm she previously resided in was an extremely remote area, millions of times worse off than the prosperous regions that Gu Changge discussed.
At that moment, she finally understood why so many cultivators were so desperate to reach the Upper Realm.
It was also during this time when Gu Changge had briefed her on the Upper Realm, lest her unfamiliarity turns to discomfort.
“Master, after returning to the Upper Realm, will you be very busy?”
Yaoyao couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
From the time she spent with Gu Changge, Yaoyao had understood that his status was above many in the Upper Realm.
To that end, he must have a lot of things to deal with on a daily basis, making it impossible for him to accompany her at all times, unlike in the Lower Realm.
“No, I won’t. You are quite special, Master will be sending some people to check it. Maybe we can find out something.”
Gu Changge smiled slightly when he heard the words, naturally knowing what Yaoyao was worried about.
She was quite wise for her age.
‘She might even be more sensible than Xian’er.’
Yaoyao couldn’t help but smile upon receiving his answer.
They soon arrived at the Gu Family home.
Seeing Gu Changge return with a little girl after his disappearance…
Those patrolling at the Mountain Gate could not help but look at one another in confusion.
“When did the Young Master leave?”
“If you ask me, who do I ask?!”
“And who is that girl?”
“Right? Who could be important enough to be treated personally by the Young Master?”
Their surprise was only natural. After all, Gu Changge was supposed to be in seclusion.
But, apparently, he quietly left to go somewhere else.
Alas, they were mere subordinates. They were curious, but none of them would dare to actually ask.
Soon, even the Gu family members were in disbelief.
Gu Changge, who was supposed to be in seclusion, showed up with a little girl beside him?
While there were many speculations, none dared to say that she was his daughter.
So exactly what or who was she?
An apprentice? But how could Gu Changge possibly consider taking an apprentice at his age?
Gu Changge was not surprised in the slightest.
After all, unlike last time, he’d gone straight through the main gate. It would be strange if he didn’t garner this much attention.
If he were to return quietly, Yaoyao might misunderstand, thinking he had no intentions of formally recognizing her.
Gu Changge soon took her back to the Divine Island where he lived, ordering a nearby servant to make the necessary arrangements for Yaoyao to fit in.
After all, he cannot have her living with him in the same house.
Yaoyao was very well-behaved and followed the beautiful Big Sister in front of her.
When she first arrived, she was shocked by the mere sight of it all.
It was her first time seeing such a large force; she’d never even considered that someone would just have such a vast place for themselves.
“Sister- “
But as soon as she spoke those words, the maid in front of her paled in fright, almost falling to the ground.
“My lady, please do not address me in such a manner. It would surely cause trouble if the others were to hear of this.”
“Please, you may refer to me with just my name.”
She was afraid, and for good reason. Gu Changge treated her differently from the rest, he was gentle and not at all like the indifferent, high-ranking Young Master that overlooks everything from above. Thus, it was easy to deduce that Yaoyao was no simple character.
As a maid, she understood Gu Changge’s temperament.
It was precisely because of this that she felt uneasy and afraid.
For her to call her ‘sister’ in a family as long-lived and strict as the Gu Family, she was bound to be punished if this matter were to be exposed.
“Sorry…”
Hearing this, Yaoyao quickly understood her meaning and felt a bit of guilt over having put her in such a difficult position.
However, with this alone, she could tell the terrifying power that her master commanded in the Upper Realm.
Word and actions do indeed carry great meaning, but it was rare that a mere address would be able to terrify people in such a manner.
As she thought of this, she began to admire Gu Changge a bit more.
[On the other side]
After returning to the palace, Gu Changge called his confidant, Ah Da, and asked for a report on the various happenings in the Upper Realm.
Ah Da would soon arrive and respectfully begin his report:
“During this period, an ancient existence found signs of the All-Devouring Sky, causing a great disturbance. It is thanks to this information that the various Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans discussed and planned to jointly establish the True Immortal Academy. They have already begun making plans.”
“It is the hope of many that someone would ascend to the True immortal and prevent the arrival of the All-Devouring Sky…”
“Furthermore, many Ancient Freaks and sealed Ancient Kings had awoken during this period, ushering in a new golden age.”
“As for the Heavenly Prince, because of the suspicions regarding the Demonic Arts’ Inheritor, he has done nothing of note. Lastly, there was a descendant of the Human Ancestor Hall that went around trying to find the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor.”
Gu Changge didn’t care all that much, as everything still seemed to be under control.
And besides, he’s “in seclusion”.
So, there were no new pieces of information flying around about him.
As such, Ying Shuang, the “Inheritor of the Demonic Arts”, could not dare to show himself.
And the Ancient Freaks and sealed Ancient Kings weren’t stupid, they won’t be making their move just yet.
The All-Devouring Sky was a bit unexpected, but overall, it was still proceeding in the direction he’d hoped it would.
“Ah, but there is one more piece of information. Some time ago, the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain had sent someone to visit you; it was their princess. However, after waiting for a considerable amount of time outside the Mountain Gate, she left.”
Gu Changge had just left the family during that time.
However, as Gu Changge was absent at the time, who would dare to entertain her? After all, they didn’t even know why she was there.
So in the end, no one did anything for her.
Thus, she could only leave with indignation.
‘Could it be his sister?’
Gu Changge was slightly intrigued by this, as he knew of the connections the current black pot, Ying Shuang, had.
To his understanding, Ying Shuang’s little sister, Ying Yu, can be regarded as a Young Supreme with terrifying talent. With her strength alone, she should have no problems crushing the Young Supremes of today.
‘As expected of the Ying bloodline…’
‘What a shame she left.’
Originally, he wanted to win her over from the start.
It just so happened that the affairs in the Tianchen Realm took priority.
If he were to succeed, Ying Shuang would be forced to reveal himself.
Gu Changge didn’t want to leave the black pot on Ying Shuang’s head for a long time.
After all, this was arranged at a fast pace. As long as a bit of brain was used, this problem was easy to solve.
He felt that Ying Yu coming to the Gu Family home was also because of this.
If he spoke, it would’ve most likely cleared the suspicion of Ying Shuang being the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.
“Aren’t you afraid of being darkened by me?”
Gu Changge couldn’t help but let out a sneer, appearing very disapproving.
Although the Human Ancestor had disappeared now, it did not mean that there was no risk of getting exposed.
Because in addition to the Human Ancestor, there were many ancient existences. They were very secretive and had deep knowledge about the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.
In addition, a Young Supreme with a special talent like Jiang Chuchu may also be able to detect his true identity.
Therefore, Gu Changge must take full advantage of Yin Shuang and then look for a new scapegoat.
Afterwards, he waved his hand and dismissed Ah Da before he began thinking about the next steps in his plans.
‘I need to start with the All-Devouring Sky.’
‘I also need to solve that Favoured Son of Heaven, Ying Shuang.’
‘After all, he might get some fortune being the Favoured Son of Heaven.’
Gu Changge couldn’t help but sigh.
‘But before that, let’s improve my strength before thinking about anything else…’
Afterwards, Gu Changge sorted and devoured his many gains from this trip to the Lower Realm.
Massive Fortune Values and Destiny Points were one thing, he also gained an apprentice this time.
There were also many Divine Artifacts dropped after killing the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation, followed by the Pure Worldly Lotus, which raised the level of his flesh body to an extreme.
“I’m in the Supreme Sacred Realm, but the physical body has almost reached the Great Sacred Realm, and so did the Divine Soul.”
Gu Changge estimated his exact strength.
Because the Realm does not represent real combat power, and he also had many Divine Artifacts.
In other words, even if he encounters Quasi-Supreme, he would be able to compete with them.
Of course, the kind Quasi-Supreme he was referring to was someone who just entered Quasi-Supreme Realm, second stage1Quasi-Supreme and Quasi-Emperor have 9 minor realms: stages 1-9. at most.
As for his realm in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Codex, he maintained it at Quasi-Sacred Realm, which was in the acceptable range.
He can just adjust his surface Cultivation Base using Destiny Points anyways so he was not afraid of being seen as abnormal.
After that, Gu Changge exchanged his Points for 10 Transcendent Bones.
A familiar mystic and refreshing Qi flowed from the limbs and bones.
Immediately thereafter, pieces of bones that were already unusually bright, burst with colourful divine light accompanied by Dao Chants.
An unclear sense of mystery filled the bones.
This was the Transcendence Intent.
Gu Changge felt a deep understanding of the laws and orders of the various Divine Techniques he practised.
Cultivators in the same realm couldn’t keep up with this understanding of his.

[On a different Divine Island, Ancient Immortal Gu Family]
Gu Xian’er, who was wearing a long dress with wide sleeves, exhaled as she slowly recovered from her cultivation state.
Wisps of Immortal Aura slowly infiltrated her body as the Supreme Rules turned into countless rays of light.
Crystal-like bones radiated full of immortality.
The surface was full of all kinds of complicated runes, Dao patterns imprinted firmly on them.
Buzz!
The next moment, her Cultivation Base soared, breaking through to the Middle Stage of the True God Realm. It had already surpassed many Young Supremes of her age, some even older.
“Xian’er broke through again! How long has it been since her last breakthrough?”
“I’m afraid it won’t take long for her to catch up with Changge. She had suffered till now, but she is still more diligent than other disciples.”
Several clan elders near the Divine Island smiled with relief and started praising Gu Xian’er.
During the time, when Gu Changge was supposed to be in seclusion.
Gu Xian’er went to look for her parents and found that they were doing just fine but were unable to come back because of circumstances.
So, she stayed with her parents for some time before returning and starting to cultivate assiduously.
Gu Changge’s “good intentions” were discovered by her.
After all, she heard a lot of things from her parents, knowing that people have been looking for them all the time.
She was stunned at first, but later discovered that those people were actually sent by Gu Changge.
When she just returned to the Family, she suddenly received news about her parents.
All these coincidences only showed that Gu Changge specially made arrangements for her.
But he just couldn’t tell her straight-up.
This made Gu Xian’er feel angry and touched at the same time. Gu Changge was cold-faced and hard-headed, but in fact, he was kind-hearted and did many things for her, more than anyone else.
But he just didn’t tell anyone and bore all the burdens alone.
That was also why he always encouraged her to cultivate, so that she would not be killed by one of his slaps in future if he failed to suppress his Demonic Nature.
With all these painstaking efforts, Gu Xian’er had no words to express herself.
Gu Changge was concerned about her but still refused to lose face.
This was what made Gu Xian’er angry the most.
The scenes from the Nirvana Pond were still vivid in her mind.
Gu Xian’er discovered the hardships that Gu Changge had been concealing all the time, and there was mixed feeling in her heart, feeling stressed and guilty for Gu Changge.
That’s why Gu Xian’er intended to live up to Gu Changge’s expectations and worked hard to cultivate.
In addition, during this period of time, she also looked into many ancient books that could help Gu Changge solve his Demonic Nature.
At this time, Gu Xianer finished her cultivation and was about to get up.
2Kshn: Didn’t she took an awful amount of time just to recover from her cultivation state and get up? (1st line of this part to just above)
A maid suddenly rushed over and reported something in her ears.
“What?!”
“Gu Changge brought a little girl?”
As soon as Gu Xian’er heard this, her beautiful face showed surprise; discomfort could be seen on her face and her words sounded inexplicably sour.
She was Gu Changge’s Little Sister, okay?
