Needless to say, even Zi Yunchuan was not aware that Zi Susu had been secretly cultivating the Forbidden Technique. Zi Susu naturally did not dare to reveal such matters. After all, she would be forced to take the blame for the entire situation if the truth was discovered.

 

Ye Suyi could be considered one of the few people in Purple Sky Mountain who knew that Zi Susu was secretly cultivating the Forbidden Technique. Be that as it may, she knew that such matters would involve many different parties. That was why she did not dare to carelessly reveal the truth.

 

“I see. Thank you for telling me, Cousin Yunchuan. The rules of Purple Sky Mountain are strict. I’m sure Purple Sky Mountain knows better than me what kind of punishment Cousin Zi Susu will receive.” Ye Suyi replied softly.

 

During the discussion in the meeting hall, she had caught a glimpse of her Stepmother.

 

Her Stepmother, who used to be very graceful and dignified, had looked extremely pale and incredulous at the time. It seemed that her Stepmother could hardly believe that she would return to Purple Sky Mountain. Moreover, her Stepmother had immediately looked away as soon as their gazes met. The other party clearly had no wish to establish any form of contact with her.

 

Although her Stepmother seemed kind and virtuous, the truth was that most of the evil deeds carried out by Zi Susu were done with her tacit approval. In any case, she had no intention to dwell on her past grudges against her Stepmother.

 

Ye Suyi did not see her Biological Father either. He was not eligible to enter the meeting hall after all. Nevertheless, she had no plans to see him in the first place. She once thought about making her Father kneel before her Mother’s gravestone, weeping bitter tears and repenting for his previous misdeeds. However, she had come to understand that her heartless Father was not worthy of her hatred.

 

Her state of emotions naturally did not escape Gu Changge’s notice. It was just that these were her personal affairs, so he personally wanted her to resolve such matters on her own.

 

“Do you have anything else you wish to do?” Gu Changge nonchalantly asked.

 

Ye Suyi shook her head. “I’ve already gotten over the knot in my heart. From now on, I no longer have a relationship with that person. Naturally, I will no longer have any connections with Purple Sky Mountain either.”

 

Gu Changge nodded, sweeping his gaze over her face. Her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes were slightly downcast.

 

While she was speaking earlier, he clearly perceived some sort of aura rising from her body as though certain shackles had been released. She had been chained under a heavy layer of dust for so long, but she finally regained her lustre today. It was obvious that her amazing identity as a Heaven Defying Mortal Immortal Variable was at work again, yet she herself had not noticed.

 

“Let’s go then,” Gu Changge said, showing no intention to remain in Purple Sky Mountain for longer than necessary.

 

Zi Yan continued to lead the way in front. Countless high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain watched from the mountains in the distance, but nobody said anything. Meanwhile, Zi Yunchuan sighed softly and left the area.

 

It did not take long for the figures of Gu Changge and his group to disappear in the mist and clouds as they headed towards the outside of Purple Sky Mountain. Only then did the high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain breathe a sigh of relief. The oppressive atmosphere pressing down on their heads finally seemed to dissipate.

 

“I wonder what kind of identity and background that mysterious Young Master Gu possess.”

 

“That was terrifying. Even though I have dominated Primary Hope Civilisation for countless years, I dare not meet his eyes. He simply glanced in my direction when I was spying on him earlier, and I inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat.”

 

The Ancestral Dao Realm experts who had been hiding in the shadows slowly emerged and exchanged a glance with each other. They could see the fear and horror in each other’s eyes.

 

“The Heavens are on my side. I can’t believe I will finally obtain what I desire after scheming for so many years.”

 

It was not until Gu Changge departed from Purple Sky Mountain that Zi Wanhe came out of the meeting hall. He did not open the jade tablet, but he could not hide the joyous expression on his face.

 

His greatest predicament and objective were to remove the root of evil caused by the Entanglement Immortal Might. For that purpose, he had sacrificed many years and attempted countless methods to resolve the issue. The solution to the problem was now in his hands. If not for the high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain swarming around him, he would have given a triumphant yell to release his excitement.

 

“Sect Master, what did Young Master Gu say to you earlier?” When one of the Elders noticed Zi Wanhe’s elated expression, he couldn’t help asking.

 

It had to be said that Zi Wanhe was a person who never showed his emotions. His thoughts were often deep and profound. Moreover, he rarely showed joy on his face.

 

“Young Master Gu told me about some matters pertaining to Primary Hope Civilisation imminent calamity. The Land of Celestial Suffering has gone against the will of Heaven and must be punished. Accordingly, Purple Sky Mountain vows to obey the will of Heaven and purge those who go against Heaven. After all, it is the duty of Purple Sky Mountain to uphold the principles of Heaven and obey the Heavenly Dao.”

 

The smile on Zi Wanhe’s face disappeared. Resuming his usual stern and dignified expression, he spoke in a sombre voice.

 

Zi Wanhe’s words shocked the high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain. They had not expected him to say such a thing. In any case, it was apparent that he had obtained some form of benefit from the mysterious Young Master Gu.

 

Zi Wanhe ignored the high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain. There were many details about the Forbidden Technique known as the Entanglement Immortal Might that he had to consider. At the same time, he had many questions regarding the entire incident.

 

How did Gu Changge know that the Entanglement Immortal Might could be divided into the source technique and the derivative technique? Not to mention, what method did Gu Changge use to gain control over his life and death?

 

He had encountered numerous strange events over the years as he cultivated the Entanglement Immortal Might, but this was the first time he encountered such a strange occurrence. Gu Changge had immediately taken control of his life and death, leaving him without the possibility or means to resist whatsoever.

 

[Could it be?] All of a sudden, he was struck by an absurd possibility. A wave of turmoil flooded his heart, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. [That’s impossible. If that were the case, it would be too inconceivable.]

 

He hurriedly shook his head to expel the thought from his mind. It was too horrifying to even imagine. Afterwards, he composed himself and began to issue orders in preparation for Chu Gucheng’s birthday banquet that would take place in a few days. Since he planned to prepare a huge surprise for the other party, it was only natural for him to spend some effort on the endeavour.

 

For a time, the whole Purple Sky Mountain was in turmoil because of Gu Changge’s arrival. At the same time, countless rumours and speculations began to spread. Nobody knew what the Sect Master and Gu Changge had discussed in the meeting hall after the banquet the other day.

 

Needless to say, such an event could not be concealed from others. It did not take long for the news about Gu Changge’s visit to Purple Sky Mountain to spread throughout the surrounding universes.

 

Many Forces in Primary Hope Civilisation received the same news and began to speculate about Gu Changge’s purpose.

 

As one of the most powerful Forces in Primary Hope Civilisation, the movements of Purple Sky Mountain were bound to attract special attention. That was especially true now that the situation of Primary Hope Civilisation was unclear.

 

Most of the cultivators suspected and speculated that Gu Changge came from a Forbidden Strange Land. Therefore, he definitely had a specific motive and reason for travelling to various places. For him to visit Purple Sky Mountain and meet with its Sect Master to discuss something in secret… Could it be that he was scheming something? Was it a dreadful and unspeakable plan?

 

The speculations and discussions of the various parties in Primary Hope Civilisation were unrelated to Gu Changge. After he departed from Purple Sky Mountain, he returned to the Imperial Celestial Palace’s Xian Yun Practice Grounds with Ye Suyi.

 

When Elder Xian Yun sensed his return, she sighed heavily. There was nothing she could do about the situation anyway.

 

Gu Changge did not stay more than a few days before he departed once more, but he did not bring anybody with him on this trip. On the other hand, the White Bone Ancestor King did not return to the Xian Yun Practice Grounds with him. Even Jing Tianyuan went back to the Jing Family for the time being.

 

At the border between the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering, there was a place known as the Bloody Plateau. The Seventh Crown Prince of the Beast Court, Di Kun, had been waiting there for some time.

 

All of a sudden, he seemed to sense something. His half-closed eyes jerked open instantly, and a look of pure joy flashed through his eyes. In the next moment, the void behind him became blurry. Gu Changge’s figure stepped out from the void.

 

“W-Who are you?” When Di Kun first noticed Gu Changge, he couldn’t hide his astonishment. However, he soon sensed the familiar aura that made him tremble. His expression immediately turned respectful. Even so, he was secretly stunned. It never occurred to him that Gu Changge would be so young.

 

“I’ve heard your desire. You wish to become the new Beast Overlord of the Beast Court. I can help you with that.”

 

Gu Changge had no intention of explaining his origins. He simply spoke in his usual calm and leisurely manner.

 

As an intelligent man, Di Kun quickly understood the meaning behind Gu Changge’s words. An unconcealed greed and ambition filled his eyes. He nodded and said, “Can you tell me what I need to do? The strength of the current Beast Court no longer compares to the Land of Celestial Suffering. With just my strength alone, it is difficult for me to shake the foundation of the Land of Celestial Suffering.”

 

As things stood, he was not in the Ancestral Dao Realm. Although he possessed the Beast Gathering Conch given to him by the Beast Ancestor, it was impossible for him to summon the Ancient Beasts of the Beast Court who were in the Ancestral Dao Realm.

 

Be that as it may, he had dared to boast in front of the Beast Ancestor and the officials of the Beast Race. It was only natural for him to have some confidence in his abilities. He had gathered countless forces in private over the years. Just the Beast Soldiers under his command alone numbered several million. In addition, the emissary Forces he nurtured were not few either.

 

Each emissary Force had at least ten billion troops available for battle.

 

“Everything in the world is based on cause and effect. Even the process of buying and selling requires an equal exchange. It is true that I can help you, but what can you give me in return?” Gu Changge ignored the greed and ambition in Di Kun’s gaze. His voice remained as flat and emotionless as ever.

 

“Senior, if you can help me, I can give you everything I have, including my lifespan, my life, and my destiny…” Di Kun promised with a burning gaze. His voice was incomparably firm and determined.

 

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. At this point, he no longer cared about Gu Changge’s identity, origins, or purpose. He did not even care that he would be regarded as a pawn. For him, he simply wanted to become the sole leader of the Beast Race. He wanted to become the Beast Overlord, as well as an existence who had surpassed the Beast Ancestor.

 

“Hahaha… If I can make you into the Master of the Beast Court, then I can help you unify the entire Endless Beasts Territory. I don’t need you to give up your lifespan or life, but you will have to serve me as your master in the future. Can you do that?” Gu Changge smiled, seeming to have seen through Di Kun’s thoughts.

 

Di Kun nodded without hesitation. “Di Kun greets you, Master.”
