140: Chapter 140 He is here, he is finally here!
After Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi retreated, their hearts filled with excitement and shock, each impatiently eager to comprehend the "Unbeatable" Cultivation Technique. The peak of Zizhu Peak temporarily returned to its usual tranquility.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
In the following days, Gu Changge clearly felt the spatial fluctuations at the entrance of the Tower of the Prodigy becoming unusually frequent.
A cold and swift figure, as if tireless, entered again and again, and emerged each time covered in Battle Intent and a hint of fatigue. After a brief rest, she would unhesitatingly step back in.
It was Ling Xi.
For Ling Xi, the existence of the Eternal Heavens Pride Tower completely ignited her Battle Intent and curiosity, which had been dormant for eons.
In her previous life, she ascended to the throne of an Emperor, dominating an entire era. Across the vast world, she found no equal.
That kind of loneliness and solitude, standing at the absolute peak, was like eternal, unmelting ice, deeply etched into her Emperor's soul.
An invincible Emperor was both a glory and a shackles, meaning that within the same Realm, even an opponent who could make you go all out was a luxury.
But now, this mysterious ancient tower could project the images of numerous Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors from different times and spaces, fighting at the same Realm!
What did this mean? It meant she could cross the river of time and space to engage in the fairest and most extreme contests with those supreme powerhouses who only existed in legends, and who had also been invincible in their own eras!
This temptation was fatal to an Emperor's Reincarnation who had once reached the peak and yearned for an opponent.
She was no longer content with sparring with her two Senior Brothers but poured all her passion into challenging the tower.
"Hundred Battles Great Emperor... truly lives up to his reputation; his combat instincts are terrifying!"
"Taiyin Ancient Emperor's extreme Yin Law can actually evolve to such a state..."
"This Star River Great Emperor's palm techniques are like the creation and destruction of the universe, vast and boundless!"
Each battle made her blood boil and gave her new insights into the Dao.
The slight stagnation and arrogance brought by her past invincibility were gradually worn away in these frantic battles against the projections of Emperors from different eras. In their place was an excitement of encountering a worthy opponent and a pursuit of continuous improvement.
She no longer merely sought victory; she began to savor, learn, and absorb the combat styles and Dao essences of different Emperors.
This opportunity to interact with other Great Emperors was more precious to her than any Heaven And Earth Treasure.
Gu Changge observed all this and nodded secretly. This beautiful jade was being carved to perfection at a speed exceeding his expectations.
On this day, Gu Changge, as usual, leisurely completed his daily sign-in at the peak of Zizhu Peak.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Zizhu Peak, gaining five thousand years of Cultivation!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining three drops of Pangu Essence Blood!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Myriad Heavens Star Disk!"
Even though Gu Changge's Heart-Nature had long been as calm as an ancient well, seeing this sign-in reward, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Pangu Essence Blood!!!
He's here, he's finally here!
In his previous life, he had read countless novels, and Pangu Essence Blood had almost become a standard for every Transmigration. He once secretly wondered why the System didn't give it to him.
Could it be that the Pangu Essence Blood had already been drained, and this System was too slow to get any?
Today, it finally arrived, and three drops at once!
"Little System, you did well today. I'll give you a thumbs-up!"
System: "..."
Gu Changge raised his hand, and three drops of Pangu Essence Blood floated in his palm.
They were not in the form of blood as commonly understood, but three solid, amber-like Chaos light clusters. Golden-purple intertwined patterns slowly flowed within them, each pulsation seemingly carrying the primordial Dao Rhyme from the creation of heaven and earth, causing even the surrounding space to ripple subtly.
Even the leaves of the thousand-year-old Purple Bamboo rustled, as if worshipping this power derived from the Origin of heaven and earth.
That was the ultimate power capable of initiating Chaos and evolving all things.
This Essence Blood's energy was too overbearing, and Gu Changge hadn't decided how to use it, so he temporarily stored it in the System space.
He turned his gaze to another reward, the Myriad Heavens Star Disk. As soon as the Star Disk entered his hand, it automatically floated in his palm. On its dark golden surface, countless star patterns flowed like living things.
Gu Changge's fingertip lightly touched the disk, and a piece of information about its functions automatically flooded his Sea of Consciousness. The most practical feature of this World Disk was its automatic coordinate anchoring ability.
As long as he set foot in a certain Great World or a small Secret Realm, the World Disk would automatically record the current spatial coordinates.
Even if he traversed billions of Realms, as long as spiritual power was injected into the World Disk, the crystal would light up with the corresponding coordinates, guiding him along the most precise return route, ensuring he would never face the predicament of getting lost across Realms and being unable to return.
Gu Changge couldn't help but curl his lips. With this item, he wouldn't have to worry about going too far and not being able to return home when he went out to roam in the future.
After all this, Gu Changge looked towards the main peak of Azure Profound Sect, frowning slightly. In recent days, the deployment of Azure Profound Sect Disciples had been quite frequent.
Many Core Disciples from the main peak had also been sent out, and even quite a few Elders had left, seemingly indicating a major event.
However, Gu Changge's thoughts were on his Disciples, so he didn't pay much attention.
Just then, a familiar aura approached from afar and landed on the peak of Zizhu Peak.
The person who arrived was none other than Xuan Yangzi, the Sect Master of Azure Profound Sect.
"Junior Brother, your complexion looks good today."
Xuan Yangzi sat on the stone stool opposite Gu Changge and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.
Gu Changge raised an eyelid: "Senior Brother, has something happened in the Sect recently?"
"Something? Haha, I suppose so!"
Xuan Yangzi clapped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, it's because of your intervention back then, Junior Brother. With one palm, you turned the Demon Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect into history."
He paused, his tone becoming a little more serious: "These two great Sects have been entrenched for many years. Their former mountain gates and the vast territories they controlled are conveniently located at the border of Yun Province and Xuan Province, rich in resources.
Now that these two major forces have been annihilated overnight, the territories they left behind have become ownerless, which has become a piece of fatty meat that everyone wants a bite of."
Gu Changge slowly cracked melon seeds, noncommittally: "Oh? It seems some people can't sit still."
"More than just can't sit still!"
Xuan Yangzi lowered his voice: "Several large Sects in the neighboring Yun Province, as well as our local forces in Xuan Province, have recently begun to frequently mobilize personnel, wanting a piece of the pie!
Right now, that region appears calm, but in reality, undercurrents are surging. I'm afraid it won't be long before conflicts over territory erupt."
He paused again, then continued: "However, our Azure Profound Sect now has the Azure Cloud Secret Realm in hand and has recently acquired a large amount of resources, so we don't have much interest in that outer region. But we still have to put on a show.
Firstly, it's not good for Disciples to always Cultivate within the Sect. It's a good opportunity to send them out for some practice and gain more combat experience.
Secondly, if other Sects send people and we do nothing, we will inevitably be criticized. So, we'll send a team to wander around the periphery, just to make a point..."
