659: Chapter 659 The Remnant Soul of an Immortal Emperor Questioning Life

Zizhu Peak, deep within the clouds and mist.

Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves flapping loudly in the wind.

As far as his eyes could see, billions of living beings were immersed in the ecstasy of the Immortal Dao Empowerment.

Some sat cross-legged atop mountain peaks, surrounded by glowing clouds; others ran to spread the news, their eyes shining with a hope they had never felt before.

Still others, like Lie Tianxiong, were already in secret rooms frantically digesting their Legacy, vowing to change their fate against the heavens.

That "xuanhuang immortal path" spanning across heaven and earth was like a giant golden Dragon, continuously channeling the Laws of the Great Dao into the world.

The various states of all living beings were laid bare before his eyes.

A moment later, he withdrew his gaze, his expression calm and rippleless.

The Immortal Dao has been transmitted; the path has been paved.

The seeds have been sown. As for sprouting, growing, and even reaching the heavens, it all depends on the individual fortune and karmic ties of all living beings.

All that remained was to watch the changes quietly and, when necessary, lightly pluck the strings of fate.

"You have been watching for a long time."

Gu Changge did not turn around. His voice was flat, devoid of emotion.

Where the bamboo shadows swayed, Yue Liuli's phantom image slowly solidified.

The shock had not yet completely faded from the exquisite face of this former Immortal Emperor remnant soul. Her complex gaze fell upon Gu Changge's back, and she seemed to hesitate to speak.

She had indeed been staring at Gu Changge for a long time. From the moment he sketched the prototype of the Immortal Path with a wave of his hand, to the Dao Laws gathering like dragons, and finally to the rain of Legacy light benefiting all beings, the stormy waves in her heart could not be calmed.

That xuanhuang immortal path, spanning heaven and earth, capable of direct empowerment and Legacy transmission with complete Laws, was a supreme treasure that many top powers in the Ancient Immortal Domain could not forge even after endless ages. It was a supreme Opportunity that could not be measured by any value.

Yet Gu Changge had laid it out so nonchalantly, benefiting billions of lives as if he had done something trivial.

The look in her eyes as she watched Gu Changge quietly changed. There was awe, doubt, and an indescribable complexity—it was hard to say whether she was shocked by his great power or puzzled by his casualness.

Yue Liuli pursed her lips. In the end, she didn't dare step forward and silently withdrew her gaze, her fingers hanging at her side curling slightly.

The look in Yue Liuli's eyes as she watched Gu Changge underwent a quiet transformation.

The initial wariness, curiosity, and inquiry were now mixed with an indescribable shock, a hint of daze, and a deeper sense of awe and doubt.

Who exactly was he? What did he seek by doing all this? Was it truly just for all living beings?

Thousands of thoughts tumbled in Yue Liuli's heart. Ultimately, she just let out a soft breath, did not voice her questions, and silently withdrew her gaze.

Her phantom image also dimmed a bit, as if she were calculating something in her heart or lamenting her own drifting existence.

At that moment, several streaks of light cut through the sky and landed directly before Zizhu Peak.

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, Ling Xi, Wang Xiaopang, Mo Yu, and others entered one after another.

The lingering resonance of a great battle still clung to them, but it was overshadowed by excitement and agitation.

"Revered Master!"

Everyone bowed in unison, their voices resonant.

Gu Changge turned around, his gaze sweeping over the five of them as he nodded slightly. "Your response this time was acceptable."

"However, now that the Immortal Path has opened, Xuanhuang will face a broader yet more perilous world."

Gu Changge's tone was flat, but every word was clear. "Though you have taken a few steps ahead, the Immortal Path is vast and the way forward is uncertain."

"You must remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. When facing enemies, you should use thunderous means; when practicing, you must hold a heart of awe. Your vision must not be limited to the world before your eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, his fingertips moved slightly, and several soft spiritual lights quietly drifted out, merging into the foreheads of the five people.

"I have seen each of your battles. These are the corresponding cultivation insights and Dao Rhyme deconstructions. I have transmitted them into your minds; contemplate them carefully, and they will help you break through your Bottlenecks."

The five of them were slightly startled, then noticed a gentle yet mellow Dao Rhyme in their Sea of Consciousness, minutely deconstructing the flaws in their cultivation.

It was clearer than months of bitter cultivation. Several of them quickly bowed in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Revered Master!"

Gu Changge said no more. Thinking of something else, he gave his sleeve a casual wave.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Five rays of light, different in color and form but all containing terrifying power and flowing brilliance, flew toward Xiao Ruobai and the others, hovering before them.

In front of Xiao Ruobai was an ancient halberd, dark gold throughout and wrapped in unyielding Battle Intent. Dragon patterns were faintly visible on the shaft; its aura was as heavy as a mountain and sharp enough to rend the heavens.

Before Fang Hanyu was a longsword, icy blue and translucent, as if condensed from eternal ice and the essence of stars. Though the sword was not unsheathed, tiny ice crystals already formed in the surrounding space.

Ling Xi received a pair of gorgeous short blades resembling Phoenix wings, flowing with red-gold flames, agile and blazing.

Before Wang Xiaopang was a mysterious yellow great shield that looked honest and simple yet gave a sense of being indestructible. The shield's surface had tortoise shell patterns, and its Dao Rhyme was profound.

In front of Mo Yu was a long spear as black as night. The cold gleam at the tip seemed capable of swallowing all light, solemn and mysterious.

All five items emitted a terrifying aura that made their Souls throb and their Bloodlines boil, yet they seemed to be shrouded by layers of powerful Seals, revealing only the tip of the iceberg of their power.

"This..."

Xiao Ruobai and the others were both shocked and delighted. Though they didn't fully understand, they instinctively knew these were unimaginable treasures and hurriedly accepted them respectfully.

Wang Xiaopang couldn't help but touch the mysterious yellow shield, his eyes lighting up. Mo Yu gripped the pitch-black spear, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Revered Master!"

They did not know exactly what rank these treasures were, but they felt they were perfectly compatible with their own Dao Laws; their power would surely be world-shaking.

But someone did know!

The moment the five items appeared, Yue Liuli's phantom image was like a cat that had its tail stepped on. With a "whoosh," she rushed out from the shadows.

She instantly materialized beside Gu Changge, her eyes wide as she stared fixedly at the treasures in the hands of Xiao Ruobai and the others. Her lips trembled, and as she pointed at them, her voice changed pitch:

"This... this aura, this... this Dao Rhyme, impossible! Could this be an Imm..."

Before the word "Emperor" could leave her mouth, Gu Changge, without even looking back, delivered a backhanded slap.

The movement was not fast, even appearing somewhat casual.

Slap!

A gentle yet irresistible force sent Yue Liuli's phantom flying backward. She tumbled several times in mid-air before barely steadying herself, her illusory figure wavering several times.

"Making a fuss over nothing," Gu Changge's flat voice drifted over, still without looking at her.

Yue Liuli: "!!!"

She steadied herself, pointing at Gu Changge and then at the treasures in the hands of Xiao Ruobai and the others. She was so angry and shocked that her phantom was trembling.

immortal emperor artifacts! These were definitely immortal emperor artifacts! And they were top-tier immortal emperor artifacts with perfectly matched attributes!

In the Ancient Immortal Domain, the appearance of any one of these would be enough to cause a bloodbath, making those lingering Immortal Emperors fight to the death over them!

How many Immortal Emperors spend their entire lives without ever owning an immortal emperor artifact that perfectly suits them!

Even during the heyday of the Taichu Divine Palace, an immortal emperor artifact was a foundation-protecting treasure of the sect, unattainable by anyone who wasn't a core contributor!

He actually just took out five of them like that! And like handing out candy, he threw them to several little disciples in the Heavenly Immortal Realm?!

And he sealed them? Probably because he's afraid they can't control them yet? But even if they are sealed, they are still the embryos and essence of immortal emperor artifacts! This... this...

"You... you..."

Yue Liuli felt like her remnant soul was about to dissipate from excessive shock; her logic was shattered into pieces.

"These are immortal emperor artifacts! immortal emperor artifacts! Some Immortal Emperors don't even have them! And you say I'm making a fuss over nothing?!"

She felt her countless years of knowledge and worldview being crushed to dust at this moment.

Compared to this person's methods, the so-called "big scenes" and "grand gestures" she had seen before were simply like children playing house.

Gu Changge finally glanced at her. That gaze was calm and rippleless, as if saying: "What else?"

Under that gaze, Yue Liuli's stomach full of words was instantly stuck in her throat, leaving only a sense of powerlessness.

Forget it, just let everything be destroyed, hurry up.

There was no reasoning with such an existence, nor could he be measured by common sense.

Yue Liuli's phantom drifted dejectedly to the side, her back to everyone, her shoulders twitching slightly as if she were silently questioning her existence as a Soul.

Gu Changge ignored Yue Liuli's "breakdown." He thought for a moment and looked at Little Black on his shoulder.

"Little Black."

Gu Changge casually tossed again, and another immortal emperor artifact was steadily caught by Little Black.

Yue Liuli's phantom shuddered violently again, but she didn't turn around or cry out again. Her shoulders just twitched even more intensely.

She was numb, truly.

Another one! Looking at that aura, it was definitely another top-tier immortal emperor artifact! Just... given away like that...

Gu Changge then nodded slightly and said to Xiao Ruobai and the others: "Nurture them well and practice diligently. Go now."

"Yes, Revered Master!" Though Xiao Ruobai and the four others didn't understand why Senior Yue Liuli was so agitated, they knew in their hearts that what Revered Master had bestowed was certainly no small matter.

Suppressing their excitement and curiosity, they bowed respectfully and withdrew, eager to study these newly obtained treasures that were so perfectly compatible with themselves.

The top of Zizhu Peak returned to its former tranquility.

Only Yue Liuli's remnant soul remained in the corner, facing the void, continuously emitting an aura of questioning one's life.
