134: Creating chaos

Gu Yuchuan was somewhat moved at this moment. Looking at the years of torture, it was very difficult for even a Golden Core Stage Immortal Master to endure. At this time, he was even mentally dazed. Liu Xiu's methods were truly formidable, turning Immortal Dao Cultivators into rations for their Technological Immortal Dao, leaving no way out.

"Senior, I know my cultivation level certainly cannot save you, but what if I can set you free?"

At this moment, Immortal Master Xuanqing believed Gu Yuchuan was from the Immortal Dao. This was because those who least wanted him to die were from the Technological Immortal Dao, and those who most wanted him dead were from the Immortal Dao.

If he died, Heyang City would lose its power source, and it might not even be able to remain as one of the forty-eight cities. It required a vast amount of Spirit Stones daily to maintain the city's operation. This burden would be difficult even for a Nascent Soul True Lord to bear. Therefore, the people of Heyang City would never want him to die.

But the Immortal Dao was different. Every day Xuanqing lived, there was a chance the location of the Immortal Dao base would be exposed. Thus, his death would definitely be good news for the Immortal Dao.

"Are you really from the Immortal Dao?"

His voice trembled slightly. This allowed him to see the possibility of release, which was undoubtedly something that made him very happy. After so many years, he finally saw the possibility of liberation. Death was the best outcome for him, as he would no longer have to endure endless torture.

Gu Yuchuan simply nodded, and Xuanqing's tears fell to the ground.

"Thank you. Tell me the method, and I will surely take my own life."

A Talismanic Incantation appeared in Gu Yuchuan's hand, which was also given to him by the Demon Venerable.

"Senior, take this Talismanic Incantation. It can be triggered with just a thought. When the time comes, it will cause your Golden Core and Physical Body to self-detonate together. I believe you can turn Heyang City upside down, which can be considered revenge for yourself, right?"

There were other emotions in Xuanqing's eyes: "Are we finally starting to counterattack? It's enough that I, Xuanqing, could wait for this day. Rest assured, I will sacrifice my life for our Immortal Dao. Today, when I return, I will prepare to self-detonate."

Gu Yuchuan waved his hand: "No rush. Do it at noon tomorrow."

He had to give himself some time to retreat. Otherwise, the self-detonation of a Golden Core Stage powerhouse would be hard for him to withstand. If his mana leaked and he was tracked, it would be bad.

After the dream disappeared, Gu Yuchuan went out. He went to the government office to register his departure. The person in charge was an old man who looked at Gu Yuchuan.

"It's you, kid. You didn't think about going out to explore when you were young, but now that you're older, you've come around. It's not too late. Go explore well; maybe you'll find some Opportunities."

Gu Yuchuan bowed: "Thank you, Senior. In my earlier years, I was too focused on enjoyment and indeed neglected my cultivation. Now I've realized my mistake and plan to head south. They say there are many Opportunities by the sea, so I'll give it a try."

The old man recognized Gu Yuchuan's identity: "Good, it's not too late. Alright, I've processed your pass. You can just take the high-speed rail; no need to fly."

Gu Yuchuan thanked him and left. He had to admit that the technology in the Canglan Realm was sometimes very similar to his past life, with high-speed rails and planes. However, these were only for Cultivators. Mortals could at most ride in small cars, but even that was quite good.

He went home to pack briefly and then headed to the high-speed rail station. However, the earliest train was tomorrow morning. There was still enough time. The station wasn't very crowded. He found a place to rest with his eyes closed. He didn't dare to cultivate or even recite the Golden Light Incantation for fear of exposing himself.

Finally, it was time for the train to depart. Gu Yuchuan walked to his seat. Next to him was a teenage boy. Gu Yuchuan took a few extra glances, not because he was a pervert, but because with his current Luck-observing technique, he could see that the boy's Luck was similar to his own—the Luck of a candidate Child of Destiny.

However, the other party seemed to be a Technological Immortal Dao Cultivator, so there was no need for communication. Instead, the other party took the initiative to speak.

"Uncle, are you also going to Weihai? What are you going there for?"

Gu Yuchuan didn't speak directly. After all, his identity was fake. He had to be as careful as possible.

The other party kept talking: "Me too. I heard Weihai is especially beautiful. I've never seen the sea in my life. I want to go see it."

He looked like he came from a good family, and might even have run away from home.

This person was the young son of the City Lord of Heyang City, True Lord Thunder Spear, Nalan Hong. He had run away to see the world. However, Gu Yuchuan sensed someone observing them nearby; it should be the kid's protector. He cursed inwardly. He was truly unlucky; this undoubtedly increased the probability of him being exposed.

Finally, the high-speed rail departed, and it was almost noon.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar. A violent explosion occurred underground in Heyang City, and fierce energy engulfed the entire city. Countless buildings began to collapse, and many Cultivators and Mortals died. True Lord Thunder Spear manifested his mecha to resist the power of the self-detonation, but he was indeed too slow.

By the time the explosion ended, almost the entire Heyang City had disappeared. Dao Lord Thunder Spear was stunned. He didn't know how to explain this. In all the years since the rise of the Technological Immortal Dao, such a thing had never happened. He could imagine what he would go through. Sure enough, before long, people from the Technology Immortal Sect arrived.

"Sinner Dao Lord Thunder Spear, the Venerable requests your presence." This Venerable was Liu Xiu.

All Cultivators nowadays were terrified of Liu Xiu. Dao Lord Thunder Spear was now trembling all over: "This sinner knows he deserves ten thousand deaths, but there are still survivors in Heyang City. May I be allowed to rescue them first?"

The messenger shook his head: "The Technology Immortal Sect will send people for the rescue. You don't need to worry about it. Just go see the Venerable now."

Dao Lord Thunder Spear forced himself to calm down: "Yes, I understand, Messenger. I will go now. Please, Messenger, do your best to save the people below."

After speaking, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon. The messenger wasn't afraid of him running away. Nowadays, the Canglan Realm was the domain of their Technology Immortal Sect. If he ran, his end would only be more miserable. He wouldn't dare.

This was indeed the case. He didn't have the slightest intention of running away in his heart. If he went to accept his punishment, there was still a chance of survival. But if he ran, his end would only be death, and even his family would die with him.

Soon, he arrived above the sea of clouds. There was a castle here, which was where Liu Xiu lived. Attendants led him into the castle.
