Chapter 816: Xian’er’s third life, Gu Change’s true identity
The Fairy Palace was an expansive, pure land stretching endlessly into the vast wilderness. Clouds enshrouded the mountain peaks, and there were silver waterfalls and green lakes, creating a lush and verdant scenery.
Palaces and pavilions dotted the landscape, magnificent and grand. Adjacent to Peach Village were cascading green mountains. One side featured an immense lake from the vast universe rivers, surrounded by rustling bamboo forests and pavilions.
In the boundless lake, various rare dragon fish swam with shimmering tails, exuding astonishing divinity in their crystalline bodies. Some carried the bloodline of Kunpeng.
These creatures were scarce in the outer worlds but abundant here. Additionally, there were various primordial and ancient species and immortal bloodlines from the heavens and earth, either offered by different races or discovered in ancient ruins.
However, in the end, they all ended up in the possession of Gu Xianer, who had maintained her long standing habit of loving wealth.
The environment here was remarkably tranquil. On one side was a vast field of divine herbs obtained by Gu Xianer from Gu Changge over the years through her extortionate methods.
The sand alone was of astonishing value, containing nourishing divine soil, blood-immortal sand, and five-colored divine soil. Threads of chaotic energy permeated the air, filled with various hues of divine mist.
Various herbs, whether crystal-clear and emerald, radiant with sunlight, or fiery red, were planted in this field, releasing a rich fragrance. A whiff made one feel like they could ascend to become immortal.
In chess, theres no room for regrets.
Besides the herb field, by the clear lake, pavilions leaned against the palace. Gu Changge was engaged in a chess game with Gu Xianer.
He still wore his signature green attire, and his hair was left unbound, giving him a sluggish appearance.
In front of him, Gu Xianer supported her chin, her little face filled with a shy and embarrassed expression.
When did you learn to play chess? Why didnt I know about it?
Gu Xianer pouted, feeling a bit disgruntled. Recently, she unexpectedly obtained an ancient chess manual from Big Red, recording the changes of stars and constellations, using them as the pieces on the chessboard.
She became interested and had been evolving her cultivation based on this chess manual. Coincidentally, Gu Changge appeared to see her these days, and she boasted about crushing Gu Changge in chess, making him acknowledge her skills.
However, as expected, even though she comprehended the chess manual, she still couldnt match Gu Changge. She had regretted several moves already.
Among the myriad paths in the world, they may take different routes, but in the end, they all lead to the same destination. The path of chess is just one of these smaller paths. Your comprehension of the great Dao-building experts is far inferior to mine, even in the way of chess. You cant gain the slightest advantage.
Gu Changge smiled faintly as he rose from the mat. He naturally perceived the profoundness of the chess manual. However, with his current vision and strength, it no longer interested him, and he did not need to study it.
Hearing this, Gu Xianer understood. Over this period, Gu Changges strength had become increasingly unfathomable. He ruled the Divine Kingdom, his divine nation commanded the heavens, and the incense fire continued to burn with unending faith. He could easily erase the background figures countless times with just a thought.
Hmph, I know youre very powerful. Is that enough?
Gu Xianer huffed, then asked with a hint of curiosity, realizing that Gu Changge seemed to have something on his mind.
Gu Changge had no intention of hiding anything from her regarding this matter. After all, it was related to her.
I came here to find that big red bird by your side
Gu Changge began to explain. He had been attempting to guide the descent of the immortal domain and connect with the upper realm. However, he encountered trouble on the path leading to the Immortal Ancient Continent.
Hundreds of years ago, when he was still cultivating in the Dao Heaven Immortal Palace, he learned from Yue Mingkong about the birthplace of immortals, as it was the place where the path of immortality was initiated.
The ancient sages who had fallen on that path had their bodies disintegrate after countless years, turning into incredibly precious immortal spirits.
At that time, the immortal gate only appeared reflectively and did not indeed descend, so the commotion caused was not very terrifying.
Relying on the Grand Dao Vessel, Gu Changge resisted the pressure, infiltrated the immortal gate, and took away several jars of immortal spirits from the hands of various ancient beings. However, he had also suffered thunderbolt attacks, leaving his body charred and tattered. It took a long time to recover.
Therefore, Gu Changge speculated that the true path of immortality was in the Immortal Ancient Continent.
By deducing the paths of destiny, he discovered that the place was shrouded in mystery, with chaotic energies and a hint of primordial light, as if the beginning of the world was present.
What intrigued him even more was that he felt a familiar aura there. After further deduction and confirmation, Gu Changge found the typical atmosphere of the mysterious big red bird by Gu Xianer.
The aura wasnt ancient but rather from this era, indicating recent events. If Gu Changges cultivation hadnt reached the stage of comprehending the boundless understanding of the world, he might not have sensed it.
Initially, Gu Changge thought that the mysterious big red bird by Gu Xianers side had a vague but not overly astonishing origin.
I didnt expect that youd come looking for Big Bird, Gu Xianer said with some surprise.
Gu Changge nodded.
You probably also know that the origin of the big red bird by your side is not simple.
Gu Xianer agreed with this. Many of her opportunities were found with the help of Big Bird. Moreover, the visions of the future she had seen at the Lake of Reincarnation also depended on Da Hong to find that place.
In fact, even without Gu Changges words, Big Bird had sensed his intentions. It flew over from the distant endless lake, but it didnt carry its usual disdainful expression this time. Instead, it seemed to be tinged with a hint of vicissitude.
It seems that youve finally noticed after all
it said, and although its voice was still childish, it carried a sense of sentimentality.A long time ago, during its first encounter with Gu Changge, it felt that he was extremely dangerous, exuding an unsettling aura from head to toe.
Therefore, it had repeatedly advised Gu Xianer to stay away from Gu Changge.
However, the silly girl, Gu Xianer, kept sticking to him, paying no attention to its warnings. It secretly remained vigilant, wanting to protect Gu Xianer.
Fortunately, Gu Changge treated Gu Xianer reasonably well, only bullying her verbally.
So, over time, Big Bird also let its guard down.
Big Bird
Gu Xianer was also surprised to see Big Red in such a state.
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling something unusual. He wondered if Big Reds origin might be related not only to the Immortal Path.
It had been staying by Gu Xianers side all along, and there might be other reasons beyond her being the Daughter of Luck.
Could it be that theres something about this girl, Xianer, that I dont know?
Gu Changge thought, a hint of perplexity in his expression.
As if sensing what he was thinking, Big Red flapped its wings and flew towards the sky, saying, There were some things that should be related to you as well.
It intended to speak something other than Gu Xianer but wanted to convey its message to Gu Changge.
Seeing this, Gu Changge remained calm and followed along. The two traversed the heavenly expanse quickly, crossed the vast starry sky, and finally arrived on an expansive and flourishing continent.
The Ancient Immortal Continent
Seeing this place, Gu Changges gaze held a hint of realization. He was curious about what Big Red wanted to say to him.
The two had arrived at the continent outside the forbidden era of Dao Immortal Palace, the Ancient Immortal Continent that Gu Changge had visited before.
Here, he killed Ye Ling, who had obtained the inheritance of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord and killed Long Teng, the son of Long Aos heavenly flow of luck.
He had also left behind his influence, dominating the various clans of the Ancient Immortal Continent. It was also here that Yin Mei entirely devoted herself to him.
Does the demon lord know about the Third Incarnation?
Once they arrived here, Big Reds expression became even more desolate. It flapped its wings, landing in a ruin.
It had speculated about Gu Changges origin a long time ago, but only now did it confirm it.
As for why it called him the Demon Lord and where that term came from, it didnt know. No one seemed to know, as if the title Demon Lord appeared out of thin air.
Gu Changge, knowing that this ruin was the area where the Immortal Path had appeared, didnt show much change in his expression when Big Red referred to him as the Demon Lord.
The Third Incarnation? Past life, present life, future?
Are you trying to tell me that Xianer possesses a Third Incarnation?
He asked calmly.
Before the Forbidden era, Gu Xianer had once transformed into a Dao-building expert, practicing wholeheartedly in the sect where Zi Yang Heavenly Kings lived, and pursued the way of immortality, but she never wanted to fall into the catastrophe before the collapse of the Immortal Era.
Gu Changge was aware of this.
Not the meaning of these three incarnations
Shaking its head, Big Reds expression became complicated. It then explained, In this life, Xianer has her Third Incarnation. If this life ends, she should continue to reincarnate until she retrieves the immortal spirit that never perished in the past
A Third Incarnation? Before this, did Xianer have another life?
Gu Changge was momentarily stunned at these words, then raised his eyebrows.
He had no knowledge of this; he might never have known if Big Red hadnt spoken.
Before the Forbidden Epoch, there were many glorious and prosperous eras. Immortals and gods flourished, Primordial Gods emerged endlessly, heavenly paths contended. However, it was also during that era that buried all the Immortals and gods. All traces were buried
Big Red explained the history of the Ancient Immortal Continent before the Forbidden Epoch.
In those eras, compared to the Forbidden Epoch, it was much more terrifying. In addition to Immortals, there were also Gods born from the creation of the heavens and earth, clans, and countless parallel True Realms beyond the vastness of existence. Each of these parallel True Realms is comparable to this vast multitude of heavens, imagine how immense and magnificent they are.
The so-called Ancient Immortal Era was actually a scene of partial recovery after the Immortal Burial Era, far from its former glory.
Big Red Bird said with a bitter smile, as if reminiscing, but more with regret and nostalgia.
The Immortal Burial Era was just one of them
Gu Changge whispered, and the clouds in his mind also dispersed at this moment, causing a headache. The memories were flooding back. The once empty and misty spiritual sea was now like a mirror, with many mists wiped away.
Big Red Bird looked at him with a complex expression and continued, Although that era was extremely brilliant and magnificent, beyond countless parallel True Realms, there were three Supreme True Ancestors overseeing everything, driving the turnover of epochs, and dominating everything.
They were the incarnations of the will of the Heavenly Dao-building experts, holding the heavenly authority, maintaining the operation of all the rules in the vast expanse of the heavens. They were the Heavenly Dao-building experts, and the Heavenly Dao-building experts were them.
But I dont know when they developed their own emotions, their own desires
Gu Changge remained silent, but his mind was in pain. In his previously empty spiritual sea, clouds dissipated, and too many memories emerged.
After a long time, as if some indescribable memories were surging out, everything in this world changed.
Xianer is the child of this true world
Then, Gu Changge murmured softly.
As for his previous alias as the Demon Lord, it was indeed an alias. After all, he was one of the three Supreme True Ancestors.
A self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of Gu Changges mouth.
