Chapter 273: No One Left in the Nine Heavens and Ten Regions; Qing Feng’s Mysterious Little Bottle!
Inside the cave, divine light flickered and immortal radiance intertwined, while a terrifying aura surged forth.
Even the living beings prostrating outside the cave felt the pressure and heard the commotion coming from within.
Their faces turned pale, and they trembled, unable to understand why their master, who was always calm and in control, was so angry today.
Because no matter what, their master always exuded a confident and indifferent demeanour, seemingly in control of everything.
Even if the sky were to fall, their master’s expression probably wouldn’t change.
“Could it be that even our master has encountered some difficulty? Could it be that the recent arrival of the Gu Family’s successor has something to do with it?”
They all speculated in their hearts.
Prior to this, their master would occasionally inquire about the affairs of the Immortal Gu Family, showing great interest.
Therefore, they subconsciously believed that their master was wary of the Gu Family’s successor.
After all, from various rumours, the Gu Family’s successor seemed to be excessively powerful and abnormal.
Although their master had once dominated the world and became the number one in the upper realm, he had not appeared in public since then.
Who knew what the outcome would be when facing the Gu Family’s successor?
Inside the cave, the man in the purple robe still couldn’t believe the result, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
“This is impossible. Isn’t Gu Changge her cousin? How could he do such a thing…”
“I knew that Gu Changge wasn’t a good person. His current appearance in front of everyone is just an act. He is, in fact, a ruthless and indifferent person. The so-called ‘digging bones and avenging his sister’ is just a joke.”
The man in the purple robe calmed down at this point, and many expressions flickered in his eyes.
He did not doubt his ability to see through the world with his Divine Eye technique.
In the image he saw, the young man was undoubtedly Gu Changge.
Although the man in the purple robe had never seen Gu Changge in person, he had seen his portrait, and the person in the vision he saw was almost identical.
As for the young woman in the cold and damp dungeon, hanging on the wall with iron chains piercing through her body, she was his junior sister in his previous life, Daoxian.
In this life, she should be called Gu Xian’er, the beloved daughter of the Gu Family.
But in her childhood, her cousin, Gu Changge, cruelly dug out her Dao Bone, causing her great suffering and hardships.
In the end, Gu Changge was forced to clarify the matter publicly in front of everyone in the Heavenly Dao Ancient City and return the Dao Bone to Gu Xian’er.
The purple-robed man was born later in this life, and when he learned of all this, Gu Changge had already returned the Great Dao bone to Gu Xian’er.
He thought that all grievances had been resolved.
But he never thought that he would see such a glimpse of the future today, which made his heart tremble with horror, unable to calm down.
He originally thought that this life was his destined battle with Gu Xian’er. In the past life, she not only refused to look back at him but also cut off his hope of pursuing her.
At that time, his junior sister was so proud, wholeheartedly pursuing the Great Dao without any distractions. Even their masters in the sect were eventually left far behind by her.
However, a sudden catastrophe destroyed not only him but also his sect, and of course, it also destroyed his junior sister.
The purple-robed man never thought that he could be reincarnated. His talent in his original sect could only be considered mediocre at best.
Compared to his brilliant and dazzling little junior sister, his talents were really far behind.
As a result, he unexpectedly reincarnated, even though the era they were in had become an unrecorded history that no one dared to mention. Even now, he couldn’t help but feel desolate, desperate, and fearful when he recalled it.
On that day, the entire world collapsed, and even the Immortals who had lived for ages and were meant to never die were killed by the one spear that crossed the universe and split the eternal. The entire world wept, and even the Immortals perished.
The Immortal Palace that overlooked the myriad of worlds and sat within the cycle of reincarnation was also turned into ashes in a day.
As for living beings? One palm destroyed eight thousand provinces, and there was no one left in the Nine Heavens and Ten Regions.
Since then, no one dared to mention that era, and even he now only heard vague bits and pieces of it, which had become taboo.
The years go by, and countless eras were erased in the cycle of reincarnation.
But he reincarnated.
He believed in reincarnation and even more in his exceptionally talented junior sister, who would one day reappear in the world just like him.
How many lifetimes had he waited for this?
“Why did you end up like this in this life? It doesn’t fit your character…”
Then, the man in the purple robe gritted his teeth and once again used the Heavenly Eye of the Dao.
Although it was only a fragment of the future, it still required a great cost for him.
Using the Heavenly Eye of the Dao twice in one day meant that he probably wouldn’t be able to use it again for at least six months.
The injury to his Origin from peering into the future was a price that no one could avoid.
In the next moment, the light in front of him once again became hazy, and the signs of time flowed.
The man in the purple robe’s face grew even paler.
— — —
Soon, the image appeared again, still the same cold and damp dungeon.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze looking at him from that future image.
The young man had sensed something.
He looked up, his mouth curved with interest.
His calm gaze seemed to pass through layers of space and fall directly in front of him.
“Interesting.”
Upon hearing this sentence, the man in the purple robe felt like his head was about to explode.
The third eye on his forehead even cracked with terrifying wounds, oozing blood.
However, what frightened him the most was that the other party had noticed him.
— — —
Puff!
He couldn’t help but spew out a mouthful of blood. Although these images quickly disappeared, they still left him with lingering fear and trembling.
“Gu Changge is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface. He’s a hundred times more terrifying than the rumours… How could such a monster appear in this world…”
The expression of the man in the purple robe became unprecedentedly solemn.
— — —
“Brother, all the elders say that I have the Immortal Demon Physique. What kind of physique is that?”
In a pavilion enveloped in rosy clouds and fairy mist.
Qing Xiaoyi and Qing Feng, who had undergone a dramatic transformation, were here talking.
The two of them had a significant difference compared to when they were begging on the street in front of the mountain gate. They now exuded the feeling of disciples of a major sect, their bodies enveloped in a radiant aura.
It could be said that the effect of washing and tempering was excellent, sweeping away all the dirt.
Qing Xiaoyi wore a clean and simple white dress, adorned with simple pendants. The skirt flowed with a faint glow, with various rules and divine chains interweaving, displaying the girl’s purity and gentleness.
At this moment, she was asking Qing Feng about her physique.
Qing Feng smiled and said, “Little Yi, all you need to know is that your talent is very powerful. Look, all the elders are eager to take you as their disciple. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the True Immortal Academy.”
“Compared to the various cultivation treasures and places we talked about before, the True Immortal Academy is far superior. Even the water we drink here is from a divine spring that is rare outside and of great value.”
He sighed with emotion. Without Qing Xiaoyi, he would still be a beggar with nothing.
Not to mention the foundation building, even learning Dao and practising cultivation would be unimaginable for him.
Although he had no spiritual roots for cultivation, the elders had specially transplanted a spiritual root for him to become a little genius with good cultivation talent, all for the sake of impressing Qing Xiaoyi.
Although in a place like the True Immortal Academy, he couldn’t even compare to the servants of those Young Supremes, he was already content.
There was no doubt that Qing Xiaoyi’s terrifying talent instantly made her a hot commodity in the hands of various old monsters, a coveted treasure.
Everyone wanted to take her in, even though she was only thirteen or fourteen years old and had never practised cultivation.
This was something that couldn’t even be considered for other geniuses.
“But brother, I actually don’t want to practice cultivation. The way those elders look at me scares me. I feel like they don’t see me as a person, but more like an object.”
Qing Xiaoyi looked a bit uneasy and worried as she spoke, “For me, I just want you and me to live a good life, have enough to eat, not be bullied by others, and then find the cultivator who killed Grandpa and avenge him. The world of cultivation is too cruel, and it scares me…”
“I know your concerns, Xiaoyi. It’s all my fault for being powerless and not being able to protect you, to give you a carefree life…” Qing Feng said with guilt.
“Brother, don’t say that. Actually, I think that day in front of the mountain gate, if the elders didn’t show up, could we have followed Young Master Changge? He’s such a good person. At that time, I felt that only he looked at us with normal eyes, not like the others who looked at us like we were monkeys.”
As Qing Xiaoyi spoke, her voice became shy and low. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
On that day, in that situation, the only person who stood up to help them was a man who should have been high and mighty, far above the world of mortals.
It made Qing Xiaoyi feel as if it was all a dream.
During this period of time, the scene would constantly replay in her mind.
If the elder had not appeared, she might have ended up becoming a sword-bearer under Young Master Changge with her brother.
As the sword-bearers of Young Master Changge, no one would dare to bully them.
Maybe that wouldn’t be so bad.
“Young Master Changge is indeed different from others, but don’t overthink things, Little Yi. To him, what happened back then was just a small matter. Don’t think he did something special for you. And remember, even if we become disciples of the True Immortal Academy now, the gap between our status and his is still huge…”
“Someone like him probably doesn’t even remember our names,” Qing Feng said, seeing the expression on his sister’s face.
Realizing what his sister was thinking, Qing Feng couldn’t help but smile wryly and persuade her.
“Oh… Brother, don’t say that. I’m not overthinking things. I just want to repay Young Master Changge’s kindness if I have the chance in the future. Don’t say things like that.”
Qing Xiaoyi quickly waved her hands, denying it. Her fair face was blushing, feeling a little flustered by being caught off guard.
Moreover, she was now a disciple of various old monsters, and maybe she would see Young Master Changge again in the future.
Afterwards, Qing Feng sighed, shook his head, and left.
He and Qing Xiaoyi had different pavilions, so he returned to his room and made sure there was no one around.
Then, Qing Feng carefully took out a bottle from his arms.
It was a very antique bottle, palm-sized, without any patterns, plain and unremarkable.
However, the old beggar who adopted them was killed by cultivators because of this bottle.
And they escaped because they were not there at the time.
Later, based on the clues left by the old beggar, Qing Feng found this bottle in the dilapidated temple well where they usually lived.
It was a relic left by the old beggar.
Qing Feng naturally kept it carefully, but he didn’t know what the bottle was for.
It wasn’t until these days when he tried to cultivate that he discovered the bottle was absorbing his spiritual energy.
And then it feeds back to him a more pure and profound aura.
The aura is very heavy, one after another, pressing down on the void as if it could collapse at any moment.
Although Qing Feng had little knowledge, he knew that the aura was likely the rumoured Chaotic Qi that could crush a mountain with just one strand.
The Chaotic Qi was nourishing his blood, bones, and internal organs.
With such a precious treasure, Qing Feng naturally handled it with the utmost care, afraid that it would be discovered by others.
In a place like True Immortal Academy, where there are many strong people, even a slight mistake can be noticed by others.
So he didn’t even tell Qing Xiaoyi about this.
— — —
“Greetings, Young Master Changge!”
At the same time, the figure of Gu Changge appeared at the Mountain Gate of the True Immortal Academy.
In recent days, the True Immortal Academy has become increasingly lively, with young talents from all over the world rushing to join.
The Young Supremes and the Ancient Freaks were all gathered here, with astonishing aura and vigorous vitality.
At the Mountain Gate, there were now several elders responsible for checking the age of the applicants.
When he saw Gu Changge, the old man in white named Wang Zhongyong immediately smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
“I don’t know why Young Master Changge has come here?”
He asked.
The arrival of Gu Changge caused quite a commotion, and almost all the Young Supremes looked over and were extremely surprised.
For many, it was the first time they saw Gu Changge in real life, and they all had expressions of reverence and curiosity in their eyes.
However, there was a layer of mist surrounding Gu Changge, making it difficult to see him clearly, as if he was standing in another world.
The vast expanse of sky and earth made the young man standing on the rocks appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.
Many young women’s eyes flashed with admiration when they saw him.
