858: Chapter 859 Would you be willing to become my disciple?

Gu Changge withdrew his gaze and looked at the two of them. "You two go back. Everything remains as before.

As for the matters here in the immortal domain, handle them as you see fit. Just make sure Heavenly Venerate Tianshu doesn't notice anything amiss."

He paused, then added, "Additionally, keep an eye on a few things for me."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao bowed his head. "Please give your orders, Lord."

"First, the distribution of forces in the region of the Heaven Realm close to the immortal domain, especially the movements of Heavenly Venerate-level forces. Send me regular updates."

Gu Changge's tone was calm. "Second, if there is any movement at the Tianshu Dojo, inform me immediately."

"Third..."

His eyes narrowed slightly. "Find out for me which regions in the Heaven Realm are suitable for settling down long-term.

Preferably somewhere with a complete Great Dao, abundant resources, and inconspicuous."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao noted each down, his heart shivering slightly.

The Lord is preparing to head to the Heaven Realm.

He looked up and replied solemnly, "Rest assured, Lord. Your subordinate will make arrangements as soon as I return.

The Heaven Realm is vast, and there are many places suitable for settling down. I will definitely select a secure location for you, Lord."

Gu Changge nodded. "Go."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao bowed. "Yes, Lord."

With that, he turned and left with the Black-Robed Man, their two figures quickly vanishing into the depths of Chaos.

Gu Changge watched them go, then turned, took a step forward, and vanished from the spot.

The Pure Land of the immortal domain.

The Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning, Wang Zhan, and the will of the immortal domain sat around the immortal spring, their expressions solemn.

Daoist Purple Bamboo had also arrived, holding a long sword with a slightly furrowed brow.

Although the pressure that had made the entire immortal domain tremble just now had only lasted for a brief moment before vanishing without a trace, its terrifying power far exceeded anything they had ever seen in their lives.

They did not know what had happened in Chaos; they only knew that Gu Changge had drawn that person away.

While everyone was fraught with worry, the Void Realm fluctuated slightly, and a white-robed figure silently appeared in the center of the Pure Land.

"Changge!" Daoist Purple Bamboo was the first to stand up, sizing him up from head to toe.

"Are you alright?"

Wang Zhan also looked over, concern in his eyes.

Gu Changge's expression was calm, his tone indifferent. "I'm sorry to have worried everyone. I'm fine."

Seeing that his breath was steady and his white robes were spotless, looking completely unlike someone who had just gone through a major battle, everyone felt slightly relieved.

But since Gu Changge showed no intention of elaborating, they could not press further.

The Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning and the will of the immortal domain exchanged a look, but stormy waves raged in their hearts.

That pressure from earlier, even if it was just the aftermath, had made them feel as minuscule as ants.

And the strength of either of those two far exceeded the scope of their understanding.

Yet, Gu Changge had not only drawn them away but had returned completely unscathed. It even seemed as though not a single proper battle had taken place.

Just what level had his current strength reached?

The two suddenly recalled the Peak Heavenly Monarch that Heavenly King Chi Xiao had mentioned earlier. Was this Gu Changge's true Realm?

The Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and remained silent.

The light and shadow of the will of the immortal domain fluctuated slightly, also remaining silent.

Since Gu Changge didn't mention it, some things were simply not for them to ask.

At this moment, Daoist Purple Bamboo suddenly spoke, "Changge, I am going to the Heaven Realm."

Although the Immortal Realm seemed peaceful, the Heaven Realm was watching like a tiger eyeing its prey, and powerful experts could arrive at any moment. Daoist Purple Bamboo urgently wanted to enter the Heaven Realm to raise his cultivation.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning and the others were startled. The Heaven Realm was full of formidable experts and fraught with unpredictable dangers; heading there rashly was far too risky.

Hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Gu Changge's eyes, carrying a bit more of the warmth between Revered Master and Disciple.

He looked at his Revered Master in front of him and exhorted in a deep voice:

"Revered Master, the Heaven Realm is extremely perilous with countless powerhouses. Many top-tier orthodoxies and supreme giants lie hidden. On this journey, Revered Master must be careful in all things and must not easily put yourself in danger."

Daoist Purple Bamboo smiled gently and nodded. "Rest assured, Changge. I know my limits.

The Black Abyss is destroyed, and the immortal domain has settled. The Great Dao of the Heaven Realm is complete, and I want to go see it!"

Gu Changge was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He did not try to make him stay, nor did he ask more.

Because he knew that Daoist Purple Bamboo must have given this decision deep thought.

Furthermore, with Daoist Purple Bamboo's temperament, once he made up his mind, it was useless for others to persuade him otherwise.

"Since that is the case, please take care on your journey, Revered Master."

Gu Changge nodded slightly, his voice light yet solemn.

Daoist Purple Bamboo nodded with a smile and said no more. With a sway of his body, his green robes fluttered, and Dao Rhyme surged around him, already prepared for his long journey.

"Everyone, I must trouble you to look after the affairs of the immortal domain."

He cupped his hands slightly toward the Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning, Wang Zhan, and the Daoist of the immortal domain, then stepped into the air, intending to tear through the Void Realm and head toward the vast Heaven Realm.

Just as Daoist Purple Bamboo was about to step into the Void Realm passage, Gu Changge's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand to point from afar.

Buzz—!

An extremely condensed, lusterless Heavenly Venerate Dao Seal erupted from his fingertip, instantly piercing through the Void Realm.

It landed steadily deep within Daoist Purple Bamboo's Dao body and Divine Soul, quietly lying dormant and taking root in concealment.

This mark was completely natural, perfectly blending with Daoist Purple Bamboo's own Dao Rhyme, making it impossible to detect by ordinary means.

With this mark, even if Daoist Purple Bamboo faced a personal attack from someone in the Celestial Venerable Realm, he would remain safe and sound.

Under everyone's gaze, Daoist Purple Bamboo stepped into the Void Realm passage, his green-robed figure instantly vanishing into the boundless Chaos as he headed toward the unknown, vast Heaven Realm.

Gu Changge stood in place, watching Daoist Purple Bamboo's figure disappear into the depths of Chaos, his white robes fluttering slightly, his expression indifferent.

The Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning, Wang Zhan, and the others stood not far away. Seeing him silent, they did not dare to disturb him.

After a moment, Gu Changge withdrew his gaze, just about to say something.

Suddenly, a crisp System prompt rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Issuing Disciple recruitment quest!"

"Quest Content: Please, Host, recruit a Disciple within three months. Requirements: None."

"Quest Reward: Invincible Domain expanded to ten billion miles, along with one Location Change Card.

Reward: 20 million cultivation points.

Reward: One Supreme Divine Weapon."

"Failure Penalty: None."

Gu Changge was slightly startled.

He carefully scanned the quest rewards, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The Invincible Domain expanding to ten billion miles meant that with a single thought, a territory of ten billion miles would be entirely under his control.

The Location Change Card was even more practical, allowing him to transfer the center of the Invincible Domain to any location.

Twenty million cultivation points were enough for him to break through several minor Realms in the Celestial Venerable Realm.

As for the Supreme Divine Weapon, that was a weapon only powerhouses of the Supreme Realm could wield. If placed in the Heaven Realm, it would be enough to make countless Heavenly Venerate forces fight to the death over it.

Gu Changge was silent for a moment, silently saying in his heart:

"System, you are actually quite considerate."

"Ding! Host flatters me. Please complete the quest as soon as possible, Host. Good luck!"

Gu Changge composed his thoughts, his face remaining calm and expressionless.

He raised his head, his gaze slowly sweeping over the few people present.

The Heavenly Emperor of Absolute Beginning, the will of the immortal domain, Wang Zhan.

His gaze ultimately landed on Wang Zhan.

He naturally understood Wang Zhan.

Having come all the way from the Lower Realm, his Heart-Nature was resilient and his Aptitude was extraordinary. He had suffered repeated defeats but kept on fighting, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, with a combat strength far exceeding others in the same Realm.

More importantly, this person valued relationships and righteousness. Even knowing he was no match for Heavenly King Chi Xiao, he still dared to boldly strike. This Heart-Nature was even more commendable than Aptitude.

If he were to recruit a Disciple, Wang Zhan was indeed a suitable candidate.

Thinking of this, Gu Changge no longer hesitated and spoke indifferently:

"Wang Zhan, are you willing to take me as your Revered Master?"
