232: The Emperor's bones were reborn as Immortal Bones
Luo Qingcheng stood up abruptly, just about to tear through space and leave.
Just then.
"Boom!"
A roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the Lingxiao Courtyard!
Immediately after, an indescribable, majestic pressure surged into the sky!
Heaven and earth turned dark and gloomy!
Deep within the Void Realm, billions of rays of brilliant immortal light gushed out, pure and flawless, containing the mysterious Dao rhythm of the creation of living beings.
The immortal light intertwined, evolving into various incredible phenomena above the Gu Clan.
Immortal King Descends to the Nine Heavens, True Dragon Soaring, Phoenixes Singing in Harmony, Qilin Treading on Auspiciousness... "What kind of phenomenon is this?!"
Luo Qingcheng stopped abruptly and looked up at the sky, shock appearing on her beautiful face for the first time.
With her current cultivation as a Great Emperor, she actually felt a trace of palpitation.
"It's the Lingxiao Courtyard!" the Grand Elder cried out in alarm.
"Such a phenomenon is simply unheard of! It's definitely not something a normal Breakthrough can compare to!" the Second Elder's beard trembled, his excitement mixed with horror.
Gu Yin also opened her clear eyes wide and murmured, "This aura is so holy."
Crack.
A slight sound echoed in everyone's Divine Soul.
It wasn't the shattering of a physical object, but rather like some Innate shackles were being completely broken.
In the next moment, an indescribable glow burst forth from within the Lingxiao Courtyard, illuminating the sky!
Within the light, a phantom of a skeleton could be vaguely seen, crystal clear and imprinted with countless Innate Dao patterns.
The bone structure was perfect; just a fleeting glimpse made the Divine Souls of everyone who saw it sway.
"immortal bone?! Could this be the legendary emperor bone Nirvana?!"
Luo Qingcheng had read extensively and recalled information recorded in a secret manual.
immortal bone!
It stood above the emperor bone.
Legend had it that those possessing an immortal bone were naturally close to the Great Dao and had no Bottlenecks in their cultivation; it was a destined posture for Immortal Ascension!
In the Spirit Realm, this was simply an ethereal legend!
Had Fenger's emperor bone upgraded into an immortal bone at this time?
But how was this possible?
Even when Qingtian was around back then, he hadn't found a way to let the emperor bone undergo a transformation.
Just as the immortal bone phenomenon reached its Peak, another change occurred!
The immortal light phenomenon that filled the world suddenly began to roll back!
All the phenomena contracted in an instant and then completely disappeared!
Heaven and earth returned to calm, as if everything just now had been a dream.
But the faint holy Dao rhythm remaining in the air proved the reality of what had just happened.
Immediately after.
Buzz!
A powerful aura surged into the sky from within the Lingxiao Courtyard!
Sixth level Realm Sovereign, seventh, eighth... Peak!
"Boom!"
The barrier between Realm Sovereign and World Venerable broke upon impact!
First level World Venerable!
In just a few breaths, Gu Feng's cultivation skyrocketed from the fifth level of the Realm Sovereign stage all the way to the World Venerable realm!
Moreover, his Foundation was solid, with no sense of instability.
Creak.
A bedroom door in the Lingxiao Courtyard was opened.
A figure walked out slowly; it was Gu Feng.
At this moment, his temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change.
His skin was as lustrous as jade, with a faint precious light circulating.
When his eyes opened and closed, divine brilliance was contained within, deep as a sea of stars.
The aura around his body was harmonious and transparent, incredibly close to heaven, earth, and nature, yet also carrying a trace of sharp edge from his new Breakthrough that hadn't been fully restrained.
More strikingly, just by standing there, he gave people a sense of perfection and nobility.
"Fenger!"
Luo Qingcheng's figure flashed, and she was already in front of Gu Feng, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and disbelief: "Your emperor bone really turned into an immortal bone?"
Seeing Luo Qingcheng, excitement also flashed in Gu Feng's eyes, but it was mostly the steadiness after undergoing a transformation.
He bowed: "Eldest Aunt, you've come out of seclusion? Congratulations, Eldest Aunt, on attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor!"
A hint of surprise flashed in his heart.
His Eldest Aunt actually recognized the immortal bone at a glance?
At this time, Gu Yin and the Eight Great Elders also rushed over.
"Third Brother, you're finally awake!" Gu Yin said joyfully.
Gu Feng looked at her, his gaze suddenly darkening.
During his coma, he wasn't completely unaware of the various things happening in the outside world.
Now that he was awake, many clues connected, causing a chill to rise in his heart.
"Eldest Aunt," Gu Feng looked up, his expression extremely grave: "I have an important matter to report."
Seeing his serious expression, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but say solemnly: "Speak."
Gu Feng took a deep breath, his voice icy cold: "Cao Bu has ulterior motives; I'm afraid he wants to subvert my Gu Clan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Qingcheng and Gu Yin frowned at the same time.
The Eight Great Elders had varied expressions, quietly exchanging glances.
They also had suspicions about the many strange occurrences lately, but they were troubled by the lack of evidence.
"Tell me the details," Luo Qingcheng said in a deep voice.
Gu Feng looked around at everyone and said word for word: "The reason I fell into a coma was entirely due to Cao Bu and Yun Shang conspiring to harm me! They took advantage of my lack of preparation and made their move in secret!"
Pausing, his eyes became bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth: "That wretched couple have long been in collusion! I personally heard them talking secretly not far from me, but I was powerless to resist at the time."
Hearing this, everyone showed expressions of doubt.
Without proof, it was indeed difficult to believe.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Gu Feng knew they didn't believe him and continued: "Eldest Aunt, although I was in a coma, my consciousness didn't completely dissipate."
"During that time, I vaguely heard them talking; Eldest Brother didn't defile Ling Shuang at all!"
"All of this was a trap set by Cao Bu!"
"His ultimate goal is to seize my Gu Clan's legacy!"
"Boom!"
These words were like a thunderclap exploding in the courtyard!
"Fenger, is there evidence for these words?!" Luo Qingcheng stared fixedly at Gu Feng, her Emperor's Might faintly surging around her.
Gu Yin's face turned pale, and she said urgently: "Third Brother! How can you slander Eldest Brother like this! He is completely sincere toward the Gu Clan!"
Gu Feng glanced at Gu Yin, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
This traitorous girl.
Does it matter if it's true or false?
As long as Luo Qingcheng wanted to protect her son, she had to believe his words and push all the blame onto Cao Bu.
Unless she didn't want to clear her son's name.
Otherwise, whether there was evidence or not, it had to be done this way.
Although there was no evidence for what he just said, combined with the things that had happened during this time, it must be related to Cao Bu.
Plus, Cao Bu and Yun Shang conspiring to harm him made him even more certain that Cao Bu was definitely going to act against the Gu Clan.
The most important thing now was to make his Eldest Aunt vigilant, or even have her personally take action to eliminate Cao Bu!
"Eldest Aunt," Gu Feng steadied his mind and continued: "Are Cao Bu and the others no longer in the clan?"
Luo Qingcheng nodded: "Do you know where they went?"
Gu Feng said solemnly: "Not long ago, while I was asleep, Eldest Brother returned to the clan once; Fourth Sister and the clan should all know about this."
Gu Yin nodded: "Eldest Brother did return, but he left again very quickly."
Gu Feng continued: "Eldest Brother came to talk to me during that time and mentioned he was going to Nanzhou."
"And a few days ago, Cao Bu, the Second Aunt, the Third Concubine, as well as Yun Shang and Ling Shuang all left the Gu Clan, heading south."
"Eldest Aunt, I suspect they went to hunt down Eldest Brother!"
"And Cao Bu is the mastermind!"
Luo Qingcheng's face turned completely gloomy.
She stared at Gu Feng, her voice cold: "Fenger, you know that our Gu Clan is in a turbulent time; if these words are false, they will shake the clan's Foundation!"
Gu Feng didn't hesitate and knelt on one knee: "Eldest Aunt! Fenger is willing to guarantee it with my life!"
"Cao Bu has wild ambitions and ill intentions!"
"If Eldest Aunt doesn't believe it, you can go to Nanzhou immediately to see!"
"If it's too late, Eldest Brother's life might be in danger!"
Light flashed intensely in Luo Qingcheng's eyes, and she made a decision in an instant.
She grabbed Gu Feng's arm: "You come with me!"
"If what you said is true, I will personally purge the traitors from our house!"
"If it's false, you will also have to bear the consequences!"
Before her voice finished, she had already torn through space, taking Gu Feng and turning into a brilliant stream of light, entering the void passage and heading straight south!
