519: Your master went to the Immortal Realm
At that moment, Xiao Ruobai waved his hand, and the Sacred Artifact of storage shimmered with light. Four figures, bound by invisible Restrictions, fell miserably to the ground.
These were the four Sons of the Ancient Emperor, their faces now deathly pale.
"Revered Master, the matters in the Southern Region are settled. These four are princes of the Ancient Demon Court and have been suppressed. I ask Revered Master and the Sect Master to decide their fate."
Xuan Yangzi stepped forward and glanced at them. Seeing that their physical bodies were solid and their Origins undamaged, he smiled and said:
"The Foundations of these juniors are quite solid. Xuan Feng and the others have just broken through to the Saint Realm recently, and they happen to lack some heavy-weight whetstones."
"Why not let the True Disciples of each peak take turns practicing with them? It will let them know that there is always a heaven beyond heaven."
"Senior Brother can arrange it as he sees fit," Gu Changge said softly, his tone casual.
The four princes looked up abruptly, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Whetstones? Taking turns practicing?!
They were the sons of the Great Emperor, figures who once looked down upon an entire era!
Now, their fates were decided so nonchalantly, becoming sparring partners and punching bags for those so-called True Disciples of various peaks?!
An indescribable surge of grief, indignation, and humiliation rushed to their hearts, nearly driving them mad.
However, the indestructible Restrictions within their bodies and the surrounding calm yet crushing auras were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing all thoughts of resistance.
No, we still have a chance!
The Golden Crow Prince clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms.
Being sparring partners for those so-called True Disciples?
Hmph! Fine! Mere Saint Realm!
Wait until we defeat those so-called True Disciples one by one; let's see what face you have left to make us sparring partners then!
At that time, perhaps we can fight for better treatment, or even... he thought fiercely, turning this humiliation into motivation, a hidden sharp light and pride flashing deep in his eyes.
Xuan Yangzi stroked his beard and nodded. Seeing the unwillingness, humiliation, and even the fleeting sharpness in the eyes of the four on the ground, his smile deepened, though he said no more.
That's more like it; only then will there be more motivation, and the fighting will be more spirited.
He then waved his hand to collect several people into a spatial Magic Treasure.
Seeing that all matters were concluded, Xiao Ruobai took the opportunity to ask, "Master, where did you go when you were away earlier?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he sensed a hint of abnormality.
He saw Gu Changge's finger tapping the stone table pause slightly. His originally peaceful and indifferent expression began to sink at a visible speed.
The easy-going aura around him, which seemed capable of embracing all things, quietly withdrew, replaced by a hint of solemnity.
Xiao Bai, who stood behind him, instantly shed all her laziness. Her pretty face tensed, and her eyes became sharp as if facing a great enemy.
This sudden seriousness was like an invisible cold tide, instantly sweeping across the entire summit of Zizhu Peak.
The smile on Xuan Yangzi's face froze, Xing Tianao subconsciously straightened his back, and even the usually boisterous Old Huang shut his mouth, his bull-like eyes wide and round.
Everyone felt their hearts tighten. They knew Gu Changge too well; he was always as calm as a deep well, even when facing the Forbidden Zone Supremes. When had he ever shown such an obviously solemn expression?
Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Gu Changge raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the faces of concern and suspicion, finally looking toward the boundless Void Realm, and spoke word by word in a low voice:
"Master went to the Immortal Domain."
"Immortal Domain?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar, and the silence on Zizhu Peak was instantly shattered.
Xuan Yangzi's expression changed drastically as he abruptly stood up from his seat, almost blurting out:
"Immortal Domain?! Changge, are you talking about the legendary Immortal Realm? Does it really exist?!"
Little Black and the others also glanced over. They already knew that the loss of the Xuanhuang Great World's Origin was caused by the Immortals of the Immortal Domain.
The ones with the most intense reactions were Mo Yu and Ling Xi.
Mo Yu's body stiffened, his crimson-gold eyes suddenly contracted, and the ancient Immortal Dao Rhyme surrounding him fluctuated uncontrollably.
The shocking secrets he had just obtained in the ancestral land were still echoing in his mind; the weight of the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace and the descendants of the Immortal Domain had not been fully digested yet.
His Lord's sudden mention of the Immortal Domain was like a thunderclap exploding in his heart.
He subconsciously looked up at Gu Changge, feeling both the tremor of knowing the Immortal Domain was not out of reach and the urgency and anxiety regarding his clan's sworn enemies and the remains of the Immortal Palace.
His Lord had been to the Immortal Domain; had he seen traces of the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace?
Did he know the enemies who had annihilated the ancestors?
Countless thoughts surged, but out of reverence, he did not dare to ask rashly, only the solemnity and expectation in his eyes were hard to hide.
As for Ling Xi, this woman who was usually cold and quiet, as if nothing could disturb her, had lost her usual composure at this moment.
She looked up abruptly, a massive wave rising in her cold eyes. Her fingers tightened unconsciously, and even the Dao Rhyme around her became chaotic.
In her previous life, she had hacked through thorns to reach the position of the invincible Empress, exhausting her lifelong cultivation to break through the world barrier just to reach the legendary Immortal Domain, only to fall at the moment she approached it.
That agonizing pain of death, along with the unwillingness and regret, had long been etched deep into her Soul.
Hearing the words 'Immortal Domain' now, the past slaughters and the moment of her fall became vivid before her eyes.
Her breathing became almost imperceptibly sluggish. Although the chaotic Dao Rhyme around her quickly withdrew, her lowered fingertips turned slightly white.
She kept her eyes downcast, hiding the panic, hatred, and complexity within, but the slight trembling of her shoulders still betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
That was the place she had spent her life searching for, only to be buried there. Now that it was mentioned again, it was still an indelible wound.
Fang Hanyu noticed Ling Xi's abnormality. His sword-like brows twitched slightly, and he subconsciously softened his Sword Dao aura, subtly protecting her side.
Wang Xiaopang and Old Huang also put away their playfulness, not daring to say much.
Gu Changge's gaze slowly swept across the crowd, taking in Mo Yu's urgency and Ling Xi's turmoil, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He naturally knew the secrets of Mo Yu's Bloodline and understood Ling Xi's past obsession.
However, he did not expose them. His expression simply became more serious, his gaze seemingly penetrating layers of space to fall upon that broken and turbulent Immortal Domain, his thoughts drifting back to his recent experiences.
After annihilating the Chengyun Immortal Palace, he had found two other forces attached to the Immortal Domain fragments.
Those two forces were even more ruthless than the Chengyun Immortal Palace, using the surrounding Lower Realms as Origin pastures for years with cruel methods.
Gu Changge annihilated them in passing, but on his return journey, he sensed a faint aura—so weak it was almost imperceptible, yet so familiar it made his Dao Heart tremble slightly—passing by in an instant.
"It's Revered Master!"
Although it was as thin as a candle in the wind and was instantly scattered by the chaotic turbulence, Gu Changge was absolutely certain!
He immediately abandoned his return trip and followed the faint trail left by that aura, venturing deeper into the older and more chaotic parts of the Immortal Domain.
