Chapter 217: For what Reason does the Immortal descend to the Mortal Plain; Lest you seem like a Demonic Path Cultivator.

[Tianchen Realm]

Boom!

The divine light pierced through the sky, seemingly breaking many universes as it landed with an earth-shattering explosion.

Gu Changge’s figure soon walked out from within the dust.

He had used a Domain Traversing Talisman to arrive here.

His face was blurred, and his true identity couldn’t be seen in the mist.

His white robe and broad sleeves fluttered gently in the wind, as he stood with his hands placed behind his back, his expression calm, overlooking the magnificent mountains, rivers and numerous territories below.

With such an appearance, he simply looked otherworldly, like a transcendent being from the Immortal Heavens.

“It seems that the spatial coordinates were not wrong.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly, before closing his eyes to perceive the laws of heaven and earth present there.

The Tianchen Realm was a Lower Realm infinitely far away from the Upper Realm where he resided.

If Gu Changge hadn’t tracked Yue Mingkong, he would have needed to follow her aura in order to find this realm.

It was also difficult for him to imagine that the respected Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor of this era would come out from such a backwater realm.

Judging from the space barrier here, this realm could at most give birth to a Sacred Realm cultivator, or Great Sacred Realm powerhouses at best.

Though there may also be some quasi-supreme existences who, due to special reasons, had sealed their Qi and vitality, choosing not to ascend, instead hiding themselves in this realm.

“However, since a Favoured Son of Heaven such as the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor will be born here, this world will not the same after that; starting to prosper and flourish at a great pace.”

While Gu Changge was murmuring to himself, a mist rose up all over his body, making him look even more obscure and mysterious.

Unless it was someone particularly familiar with him, it would be difficult for any person to recognize him purely by appearance.

Within the Tianchen Realm, apart from Yue Mingkong and those that she brought along, there should be no one who could recognize his identity for the time being.

But to be on the safe side, Gu Changge still didn’t plan to reveal his true face easily.

Otherwise, he might end up accidentally beating the grass and startling the snake.¹A Chinese Idiom “Beating the grass and startling the snake” meaning, using premature actions which put the enemy on guard.

At the same time, Gu Changge also wanted to prevent Yue Mingkong from noticing something and to prevent the powerhouses of this world from finding any abnormalities.

After all, the people from the Human Ancestral Hall would find them sooner or later. And if they saw that Gu Changge was also in this world… It would become troublesome to explain it to them.

It would surely become very dangerous if his intentions toward the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation were exposed.

It’d be detrimental to his plan of replacing the Human Ancestor.

‘The most important task right now is to understand the information of this world, and then find out where Mingkong is. Since she was the first to come to this world, she must have learned something already.’

Gu Changge guessed in his heart.

And soon, he also came up with a careful plan in his mind.

“That light just now…could it be caused by a person?”

“Could he be an immortal from the Upper Realm?”

At this moment, many creatures and cultivators who were attracted by the divine light were appearing from all directions.

They looked at Gu Changge in front of them in shock and astonishment, obviously, not yet processing what had happened.

Just now they saw the divine light tearing through the ceiling of the sky, and the sound was so terrifying that all forces and cultivators, within the vicinity of nearly ten thousand miles, perceived it.

“We pay our respects to the immortal!”

“We pay our respects to the immortal!”

After that, many people bowed their heads with great devotion and respect, as if seeing a legendary immortal descend down to earth.

After all, Gu Changge’s body was shrouded in Immortal light, mysteriously transcendent, not appearing mortal at glance.

In their eyes, he was no different from the legendary immortals in the classics and myths of the past.

At first, they were all attracted by the divine light here, thinking that some Divine Artifact had appeared, bearing astounding heavenly visions.

But they didn’t expect to see such a mysterious man in white.

Not only that, this man’s cultivation base was unfathomable as well. Just by standing there, they could feel like he was the centre of this world, making their hearts palpitate in awe.

The rumours of ascending to the Upper Realm were forever in circulation no matter which Lower Realm, so they naturally knew the existence of the Upper Realm.

And the rumour went like; “The so-called ascension is easy, but it is difficult to descend into the Lower Realm.”

All of them have heard this once in their life.

The mysterious young man in front of them, in their opinion, has far more stronger Cultivation Base than any old monster that was about to ascend, so it was natural they treated him as an Immortal.

“I wonder why the great Immortal has come to this mortal world?”

At that moment, a brave cultivator asked Gu Changge.

His expression was extremely respectful, revealing a strong sense of awe and caution, for fear that he would accidentally offend the other party.

Gu Changge’s eyes swept across the many cultivators and creatures who were shocked, but he was not surprised.

Because of using the Domain Traversing Talisman, the momentum he entered the Lower Realm was astonishing.

It had spread to at least within a radius of 10,000 miles.

But, Gu Changge already had countermeasures ready, so he didn’t care.

After hearing the cultivator’s words, his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange glint and quickly grasped the language of this realm as he asked lightly, “Is this Tianchen Realm?”

Understanding the language of this realm was not a problem for him as a Sacred Realm Cultivator.

“Informing the Supreme Immortal, this is none other than the Tianchen Realm.”

Hearing Gu Changge’s question, he immediately replied with great respect.

The cultivator who answered Gu Changge just now was a bearded man with a Cultivation Base of the True God Realm.

He was a powerful man within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and his words alone could shake the region.

The rest of the cultivators and creatures appeared from all directions, watching this scene with their mouths tightly sealed, not daring to make a sound, so as not to disturb Supreme Immortal.

“Oh, looks like I arrived at the right place.”

Gu Changge nodded, his expression nonchalant.

Hearing this, everyone’s heart suddenly tightened.

It was needless to say, how difficult descending to the Lower Realm was; thousands of times more difficult than ascending to the Upper Realm.

Since, the Immortal in front of him just said that he wasn’t in the wrong place, meaning that descending into the lower realm was a very simple matter for him, and he can do it with a wave of his hand.

Thinking of this, everyone was even more in awe of Gu Changge, their heads were almost bent down to their necks, and they didn’t dare to look up.

Gu Changge’s indifference with an aloof look that doesn’t put anyone in his eyes was very normal to them.

Although the voice sounds very young, he may be someone who had been cultivating for countless years, raising his hand to pick the stars and take the moon, cracking the heaven and earth.

It was already a great kindness to talk to ants like them.

“This Immortal wants to know about this world.”

Gu Changge then glanced at the middle-aged cultivator in front of him and said.

“Explaining to the Supreme Immortal…”

The middle-aged cultivator was trembling, not daring to ask anything more, let alone conceal anything.

Afterwards, he honestly explained to Gu Changge in front of everyone.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, many powerful beings with eccentric personalities would not waste time asking like Gu Changge.

They usually grab people and directly search their souls.

Therefore, he subconsciously believed that the Immortal in front of him had a relatively good personality, and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

“The Tianchen Realm is divided into the eight domains of the heaven and earth, the Xuanhuang universe, and the place where we currently are is the Xuan Domain.”

“Xuan Domain is vast, there are great powers with hundreds of thousands of years of foundation, even close to a million years of foundation sitting in the town. There are also numerous Ancient Clans, Sacred Lands, and Divine Mountains…”

“The leading force here is known as the Taixu Sect. Their ancestors ascended to the upper realm 800,000 years ago, leaving behind the Daoist heritage.”

“In addition to this, there are three major forces that compete against each other in this domain, but these forces are slightly inferior to the Taixu Sect.”

Soon, Gu Changge’s eyes flashed slightly, and he understood power distribution from the explanation of the middle-aged cultivator.

It was similar to the routine he has always known.

And the reason why he didn’t directly use the soul searching method was mainly because he found it troublesome.

After all, there were many people here, and he has just entered the realm, and many things had not been arranged yet. Although such a ruthless method is simple and convenient.

But it will make him look like a demon.

And it was not conducive to his future plan.

If he wants to know the whereabouts of the Reincation of the Human Ancestor, relying on a single person’s strength was definitely not enough.

He didn’t know what means Yue Mingkong had.

But what Gu Changge has to do was to first control the strongest forces in this domain for his use.

As for how to control them? The easy way is to slowly develop and grow a force which is currently in despair, just waiting for revival…

But it was all bullshit, wasn’t there a better method in front of him? He can just control an already developed force and use them as he wishes.

If one can’t control them, it just means that they lack the ability and means to do so.

Gu Changge also doesn’t understand why those developmental routines in his previous world, always liked to start from the bottom.

To him, it was neither worthwhile nor enjoyable.

“The Xuan Domain… seems to be just right.”

Afterwards, Gu Changge nodded, his expression still indifferent, and asked, “Where is the Taixu Sect located?”

“This Immortal have an old relationship with its ancestor, and I owed him a favour back then, so now that I’m passing through this realm, I can return the favour.”

“Bring this Immortal to the Taixu Sect and you’ll be rewarded.”

As he said that, a terrifying seal with runes shrouded in golden light appeared in Gu Changge’s palm, filled with a fearsome sacred might.

His voice was indifferent and undulating as if he was talking about something trivial and insignificant.

But in the ears of many cultivators and creatures nearby, there was undoubtedly a thunderous explosion, which made their heads buzz, and they were extremely shocked and terrified.

Especially looking at the big golden seal in Gu Changge’s palm.

All of them drew in a cold breath and their eyes widened, filled with fervour and passion.

Hiss!

²Kshn: Sometimes I wonder what goes through the author’s head when he writes this sfx.

They were wondering if heard it wrong.

That was a Sacred-grade Artifact!

What kind of terrifying status does he have to bestow a Sacred-grade Artifact just for casually leading the way?

One must know that even powers with tens of thousands of year’s heritage, at most, only have a Heavenly God-grade Artifact or God King-grade Artifact as their foundation.

As a result, the mysterious Supreme Immortal in front of him gave this kind of thing at will.

What kind of wealth and generosity was that?

For a time, their eyes were turning green, and they were so jealous that they went crazy, and they almost shouted that they were willing to lead the way.

“What? Immortal has something to do with The Taixu Sect?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator in front of Gu Changge was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t processed the words.

Immediately afterwards, he showed a burst of ecstasy, looking extremely shocked and excited.

Because his identity just happened to be an Outer Court’s Deacon of the Taixu Sect and was ordered to guard an Ancient City and was the City Lord of it.

Today, when he saw the divine light in the middle of the great wilderness, he thought that a Divine Artifact appeared and rushed to this place.

This was what happened just now.

He didn’t expect that his luck would be so good. The mysterious Supreme Immortal in front of him actually had an old relationship with the ancestors of their sect.

One must know that their ancestor was a mythical figure 800,000 years ago!

Doesn’t that mean that the Immortal in front of him is also a figure from that era?

Thinking of this, this middle-aged cultivator with a beard was filled with awe and respect.

He also doubted whether Gu Changge was Taixu Sect’s enemy, descending from the Upper Realm, to destroy the heritage left by their ancestors.

But the possibility of this was very small.

Gu Changge can come to the Lower Realm, how terrifying his strength must be, coming to the Lower Realm was just a matter of convenience to him.

Does he have to go to such great lengths?

This was obviously because he has a close relationship with their Taixu Sect’s ancestor!

“There is no need for the Supreme Immortal to reward me with a Sacred-grade Artifact, I am not worthy of such possession. Since the lord is going to the Taixu Sect, it is this junior’s duty to lead the way.”

“Because I just happen to be an Outer Court’s Deacon of the Taixu Sect, and my son is also a well-known genius in the Taixu Sect.”

The middle-aged cultivator’s name was Zhao Wu. Looking at Gu Changge at this moment, he said with a humble and flattering expression, immediately began to call himself a junior.

It was extremely difficult for him to look away from the Sacred-grade Artifact in Gu Changge’s hand.

Not to mention that there were so many cultivators watching him, even if he accepts it, he won’t be able to keep it.

After all, it was a Sacred-grade Artifact!

Although it was extremely rare, it was like a hot potato; if not managed properly, it can lead to death.

Many forces would be desperate for this Sacred-grade Artifact and will try their best to grab it.

Could he expect the Supreme Immortal to block them for him? In his dreams.

Secondly, he felt that an unsafe Sacred-grade Artifact was not as valuable as the Supreme Immortal in front of him.

At this moment, after listening to what Zhao Wu said.

Many cultivators and creatures were extremely shocked.

Within a radius of 10,000 miles, Zhao Wu, the city lord of Heiwu City, has always been known for his ruthless methods.

His calling himself a junior in front of an Immortal was not surprising for them but…

They didn’t expect that he would give up a Sacred-grade Artifact, it really made them envious and jealous!

“Oh? A Little True God is actually indifferent to a Sacred-grade Artifact?”

Gu Changge’s dull eyes seemed to have a slight appreciation, and he nodded.

“Not bad. Lead the way.”

A look of admiration, for a puny person in this realm to do things for him with all his heart, was not a loss if one thinks about it.

Hearing this, Zhao Wu’s face immediately showed ecstasy, as he saw Gu Changge’s slightly admiring look.

This was extremely important to him!

He knew very well which was more important, gaining the Sacred-grade Artifact or gaining the Supreme immortal’s attention.

It was possible that today was his chance to soar to greatness!

Thinking of this, Zhao Wu was even more excited.

Of course, he didn’t know that Gu Changge never planned to give out the Sacred-grade Artifact from the beginning anyway.

After all, with a random glance Gu Changge found out that of the many cultivators in front of him, the True God Realm was the highest cultivation base present.

So who could have the courage to ask for this Sacred-grade Artifact?

And Gu Changge’s purpose was just to let everyone understand that he has a close relationship with the ancestors of the Taixu Sect, so close that even a Sacred-grade Artifact can be easily given.

Of course, he didn’t know or was interested in who the ancestor of the Taixu Sect was.

What Gu Changge wanted was just such a justifiable reason to help the Taixu Sect, so that the Taixu Sect would relax their vigilance as it would save a lot of time for his next plans.

Presumably, the entire Taixu Sect did not know when their ancestor had a friendship with Gu Changge.

The matter of the Upper Realm was not just a matter of Gu Changge’s nonsense. They can believe it if they want to believe it…but even if they don’t want to, it will not affect Gu Changge in the slightest.

Afterwards, there were divine rainbows rushing through the sky from that place.

Zhao Wu led the way for Gu Changge to return to the Ancient City where he was stationed.

There was a teleportation array to the Taixu Sect, so he could directly return to the sect’s gate.

He could already foresee the day when he would be valued by this immortal, and his status would rise in the Taixu Sect.

This made Zhao Wu extremely excited and delighted.

A city lord who was in charge of an ancient city with a population of one million, in front of Gu Changge, was like a lapdog, very humble and flattering.

People who didn’t know the situation might have thought that their eyes were failing and were hallucinating.

However, many cultivators and living beings were still very envious of this and they hated themselves for being timid at that time and missing the opportunity, cause if they did…

Maybe the lapdog beside Gu Changge would’ve been them!

“A Single Slip May Cause Everlasting Sorrow!”³A Chinese idiom(一失足成千古恨) meaning ‘A single missed opportunity can cause a lifetime regret’.

Many people pounded their chests as they had missed a good opportunity to hug the thigh of this immortal.

And soon, what happened in this great wilderness, as if it had grown wings, spread rapidly among the major ancient cities and forces, causing huge waves.

“An Immortal descended from the Upper Realm, mysterious and terrifying, with an unfathomable Cultivation Base.”

“He has an old relationship with the ancestor of the Taixu Sect and owed one favour to him, and is now heading to the Taixu Sect.”

This matter was like a meteorite smashing into the deep sea, quickly setting off a terrifying frenzy, like a big earthquake!

The cultivators who heard the news were all shocked, their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped.

The Taixu Sect can be considered as the ruling force of the Xuan Domain, with a strong foundation and profound heritage, and was secretly known as the number one sect.

If the three major sects were not there to compete with it, the whole Xuan domain would have been under the Taixu Sect.

But now, there was a Supreme Immortal who has an old relationship with their ancestor.

This news made the three major sects despair, feeling that their good days to compete with the Taixu Sect were coming to an end.

After all, there were a lot of cultivators and creatures who witnessed this incident with their own eyes, so it couldn’t be fake.

The Immortal’s white robe was fluttering, his face was blurred and he was surrounded by an immortal mist, and his aura was transcendent that it seemed that even heaven and earth could be covered by his palm.

With such astonishing rumours, the whole of the Xuan Domain was in a state of upheaval.

[On the other side, Hundreds of Millions of Miles away from Xuan Domain.]

[The Hong Domain.]

In an incomparably tall ancient city, Yue Mingkong, dressed in plain white clothes and wearing a veil on her face, was in a secluded and remote pavilion.

She frowned slightly, crossing out some names in her hands, and muttered to herself.

“According to the timeline, the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor should be a little famous currently. so why is it that I have investigated so many powers and have yet not seen a genius with such a name.”

In fact, she also didn’t know the exact location of the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation.

The only way to find it was to rule them out one by one by name.

She only knows two pieces of information.

First, the name of the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor in this life was Jiang Yang.

Second, the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation possesses a certain powerful physique, which is suspected to be a rumoured Holy physique.

But she didn’t know exactly what kind of Holy Physique it was.

So Yue Mingkong subconsciously thought that he would be one of the extremely famous geniuses.

However, she had searched the entire Hong Domain and had not heard of such a name.

For a while, Yue Mingkong was a bit worried and planned to go to another few domains to look for him.

“Emperor Yue, there was news from Xuan domain, saying that a powerful existence descended in the Lower Realm, who seems to have some relation with the ancestor of the Taixu Sect in Xuan Domain…”

At that moment, outside the pavilion, there was a sudden wave of subtle fluctuations.

Then, the sound of the report sounded.

“Xuan Domain?”

Yue Mingkong frowned slightly.

The location of the Tianchen Realm was very remote, and there were almost no Daoist lineages and major sects in the upper realm that would notice this realm.

So her quiet arrival in this Lower Realm did not attract anyone’s attention, and it was even hidden from Gu Changge.

So Yue Mingkong didn’t care much about the news, thinking it was just a coincidence.

The ancestor of the Taixu Sect, I am afraid that it must be a figure hundreds of thousands of years old, and it has nothing to do with her.

The Human Ancestral Hall probably hasn’t found its way here.

Yue Mingkong was slightly relieved by this.

“We also have to keep an eye on the famous Extreme Yang Area in the Tianchen Realm. From the rumours, the Pure Worldly Lotus that grows in it seems to be important to the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor’s Physique.”

“It can help the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor’s Physique undergo a physical transformation.”

She began to think about her next plan, but first, she would have to search all eight domains first to find him.

After all, she had quietly come down to the realm this time and had brought enough people with her, all of whom were powerful and had no problem at all in sweeping the domain.
