268: Tianyao Guxing

Li Xuanfeng bowed and took his leave, turning to step out of the quiet room.

His figure quickly disappeared into the misty mountain path of Qingyun Peak.

At the same time, on Qingyue Peak.

Shi Wanshan clapped his Disciples Lin Mochen and Shi Jingxian on their shoulders, his voice like a booming bell: "Listen up, all of you! You can go down the mountain, and it's fine to join in the fun, but if anyone dares to reveal the true foundation of our Qingyue Peak, I'll skin him alive when he returns!"

Though his words were fierce, his eyes held an undisguised pride and a hint of worry.

"Remember, if you encounter someone you can't defeat, run! It's not shameful! Understand?!"

Lin Mochen nodded steadily: "Master, rest assured, this Disciple understands."

Shi Jingxian grinned, patting his sturdy chest: "Don't worry, Master, I'm best at pretending to be weak!"

The two bid farewell to their Master, carrying what appeared to be ordinary profound iron axes and heavy hammers, and strode down the mountain one after another.

Jianxiao Peak.

Ye Guying held his long sword, looking at his most outstanding Disciple, Mu Chenyu.

He said no more, only flicked his finger, and a condensed Sword Intent silently entered Mu Chenyu's Dantian Qi Sea.

"This Sword Intent can protect you once. Go, use your eyes to see if the swords of this world are sharp or not."

Mu Chenyu bowed deeply, his eyes as sharp as swords: "This Disciple will not fail Master's expectations!" With that, he transformed into a sword light and silently swept down Jianxiao Peak.

In the small courtyard of Zizhu Peak, Gu Changge squinted slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, taking in everything happening below the Sect gate.

Watching Lin Mochen and Shi Jingxian, full of eager vitality, disappear into the mountain forest, and watching Mu Chenyu depart silently like a lone swan, a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon the several figures hidden extremely well behind these young Disciples, whose auras were now completely different.

With the Sect's vast resources and the assistance of Emperor-level Cultivation Methods, the overall strength of the Azure Profound Sect was already incomparable to the past.

Not to mention Xuan Yangzi, Shi Wanshan, and the other Peak Lords, even some deeply cultivated Inner Elders had broken through their Bottlenecks and successfully entered the Saint Realm during this period.

At this moment, there were four newly promoted Saint Elders, like the most loyal shadows, each suppressing their entire aura, trailing far behind the group to secretly protect them.

"Heh..." Gu Changge chuckled and shook his head, "Senior Brother Xuan Yangzi and the several Peak Lords are quite willing to invest. With a few more Saints in the Sect, the protectors are now directly Saints... how extravagant."

Although he felt it was a bit of an overreaction, his fingertips still lightly traced the Void Realm.

Several formless and insubstantial life-saving imprints, yet containing a trace of his Origin Dao power, instantly traversed space and silently branded themselves deep within the Divine Souls of Li Xuanfeng, Lin Mochen, Shi Jingxian, and Mu Chenyu.

Even those Saint Elders secretly protecting them were completely unaware.

These imprints would only be triggered at the moment they truly faced a mortal situation, even when the Saint Elders couldn't rescue them in time.

Once triggered, it would be enough to withstand a full-power strike below the Great Emperor Realm and instantly teleport the person back to the foot of the Azure Profound Sect.

After completing all this, Gu Changge withdrew his fingers and looked again at Xiao Ruobai and the others, who were constantly fighting formidable enemies and honing themselves in the Tower of the Tianjiao.

He nodded slightly, a hint of imperceptible approval flashing in his eyes.

Inside the small courtyard, tea fragrance wafted, clouds rolled and unfurled, and everything returned to tranquility.

However, the new generation of Disciples of the Azure Profound Sect had already begun to spread their wings like fledgling falcons, soaring towards that magnificent golden era.

Just then, Little Black, who had been dozing on Gu Changge's shoulder, suddenly opened its sharp eyes.

Its Emperor-level Cultivation was as deep as an abyss, but its falcon-like pupils contracted to pinpricks, staring intently in a certain direction deep in the Star Domain.

Its body first stiffened slightly, as if confirming something, and then began to tremble uncontrollably, its feathers bristling, and a terrifying killing intent, mixed with monstrous rage and bone-chilling sorrow, flashed in its eyes.

This emotional fluctuation caused intense ripples in the surrounding space, and although it was only a fleeting sweep of Emperor-level Divine Sense, it instantly dispersed the clouds above Zizhu Peak!

Gu Changge felt this hatred that almost tore through the Void Realm, and his gaze turned to Little Black, with a hint of inquiry.

Little Black flew down from his shoulder and landed on the stone table.

It took a deep breath, trying to calm the rage that was almost burning away its reason, its voice becoming unusually hoarse from extreme pain and hatred.

"Master... I... I need to go back."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

For so many years, Little Black had followed him, never mentioning the word "back."

He had even almost forgotten that Little Black was not a native creature of this continent, but had fallen from the sky.

"Back?"

Gu Changge sat up straighter, looking at Little Black, who he had long considered family and a companion.

"This is the first time I've heard you mention it.

Tell me, what exactly is the situation that caused such an emotional outburst from you just now."

Little Black raised its head, as if blood-red flames were burning in its eyes.

It began to narrate in a deep voice, filled with endless grief and indignation:

"Master, please understand.

I come from the depths of the Star Domain, an ancient star named 'Heavenly Yao.'

That ancient star, and the surrounding hundred or so life planets, were originally my territory!"

Its words carried the former majesty of an overlord, but were immediately replaced by deeper hatred.

"On Heavenly Yao Ancient Star, Yao Beasts were revered.

I am of the Golden-Winged Roc Bloodline, and after a thousand years of Cultivation, I finally became a Quasi-Emperor, ruling over a Star Domain!

But I had a mortal enemy, a fallen Black Phoenix!

It was cruel by nature, Cultivating evil methods of devouring blood and flesh, and it fought with me for over a thousand years!"

"Until a few years ago, that despicable mongrel bird!

Knowing it couldn't defeat me head-on, it actually sacrificed all living beings on more than half of the life planets as blood and flesh offerings, drawing out an ancient Supreme Being who was sleeping in the Forbidden Zone of the Star Domain to act!"

At this point, Little Black's teeth gnashed, and its eyes were filled with pain and savagery.

"Although I was fierce at the time, facing a Forbidden Zone Supremes, plus that mongrel bird assisting from the side, I was ultimately defeated!

We fought a bloody battle in the Star Domain, shattering several stars, and in the end, I was severely wounded, my Origin almost collapsing, and I was knocked out of the Star Domain, falling near the Azure Profound Sect, fortunate to be taken in by Master."

It looked at Gu Changge, its eyes filled with gratitude, but then it was again swallowed by hatred.

"Just now, I sensed the heavens and earth with my Divine Sense.

I saw it!

Heavenly Yao Ancient Star is now ruled by that mongrel bird, the stars are dim, the land is barren, and the living beings are suffering!"

Little Black's emotions fluctuated violently, and its Emperor-level aura was almost uncontrollable, causing space to subtly twist.

"Now that I have been promoted to Great Emperor, it's time to seek revenge!"

Its voice was resolute: "I will go back and tear that mongrel bird and that damned Supreme Being into ten thousand pieces!"
