Chapter 153: Sowing Discord In Exchange For My Life; I Thought Master Didn’t Want Me Anymore.
chapter 153: sowing discord in exchange for my life; i thought master didn’t want me anymore. the bones above the tanliang gai[1] underwent a complex transformation at once, turning translucent as they became enshrouded with an aura similar to that of a true immortal!
[1. a part of the skull.]
one could even feel the terrifying and radiant haze of light and blood, like a mighty dragon, a surging sun that could shatter the very heavens.
gu changge felt that his essence had been refined and improved many times over what it was before.
in terms of strength alone, it gave off a great impression. even if the universe had collapsed, he alone would be left standing.
this was precisely the benefit that comes from the transcendent bones.
this kind of enhancement was comprehensive, but the position of the cranium is where the sea of consciousness is located, where the primordial spirit resides.
at this moment, he felt a vague metamorphosis take place in his innate spirit.
transforming… from a deity to an immortal, the power of the primordial spirit took on a nine-coloured glazed hue.
not only that, but his spine, his bones, his hands, and even his legs underwent similar mysterious transformations.
the spine resembled a magnificent dragon, piercing through the four limbs as the drop of rainbow-coloured true dragon blood began to resonate with it, emitting a dragon roar that shook the sky!
“what a good way to spend money!”
gu changge opened his eyes and spoke with satisfaction.
he intuitively sensed his strength growing several times over what it was.
he was able to see all the various rules and mysteries of both heaven and earth with great clarity.
in the palm of his outstretched hand, hundreds of thousands of dao laws congealed, linking into an endless chain. seamless and perfect, to the point where it formed a blade made purely from the natural law and order of the world.
‘i could already slaughter quasi-sacred realm cultivators within mere seconds before this. but now, it seems that most average sacred realm cultivators will also easily perish by my hand.’
‘if i were to breakthrough from the god king realm to the quasi-sacred realm, then i might even be able to compete with great sacred realm cultivators ‘
gu changge’s claims were not without reason. his ability to control the dao law and his ability to utilise the rules were superb, possibly unmatched by most sacred and great sacred realm existences.
among all the major clans and even the major sects, those in the sage realm were considered to be ancient monsters, demons of the oldest generations.
peers? what even was that?
it was impossible for them to even grasp his shadow.
‘with such a variable as myself, i am afraid that the heavenly dao will ensure that future favoured sons of heaven will become even more powerful. that’s fine with me though. after all, they are nothing but leeks waiting to be harvested.’
when he thought of this, gu changge remembered ye ling.
after giving him more than a month’s time, he should have found the immortal cave reserved for him by the ancient deity of reincarnation.
thus, gu changge followed the traces yin mei had left for him, heading towards ye ling and the others’ current location.
……
“brother kong, what do you think those black heavenly eagle and ancient serpent clansmen have been doing all this time? they seem to be
“because she had helped you voluntarily, i had nothing to say. however, at this very moment, someone is leaking your whereabouts. and what’s more, chi ling should be aware that you are the successor of the ancient deity of reincarnation. she has been following you all this time… and it’s quite obvious what she’s up to.”
the old turtle continued, stating the things it thought to be suspicious.
naturally, chi ling was also likely to know the true identity of gu changge.
ye ling repeatedly warned her to be wary of gu changge, but in the end, chi ling was unconcerned.
who knew what went on in her head?
ye ling nodded, his heart heavy from the words.
he could see the reason behind old turtle’s statements.
ye ling looked at yin mei, who was resting on a green stone with her eyes shut.
her face was as white as pure jade, her eyebrows curved, her nose straight, her red lips dotted, her teeth crystal clear, and her hair smooth as silk.
however, at this moment, she appeared very pale, frail even.
her dress was stained with blood.
on the other hand, chi ling’s delicate face and her eyes which shone like jewels, looked undisturbed as she appeared to have sustained minimal injuries.
by now, he had already made up his mind.
as he thought of this, ye ling stood up.
both chi ling and yin mei were recuperating at the moment, and when they saw ye ling suddenly get up, they both looked at him with a bit of surprise.
“the rest of the journey will be very dangerous, so why don’t we split up? since yin mei is very badly injured, i’ll go with her, it’ll be dangerous if she goes alone…”
“since you’re not that injured, we should meet up at the ancient city ahead.”
the fact of the matter was, he wasn’t prepared to tear face with chi ling just yet.
thus, he tried to use natural and reasonable words.
when the time comes for them to meet up once more if he didn’t show up, what could chi ling possibly do?
in his opinion, if chi ling truly was after his opportunities, then she would simply accept his absence, even if she didn’t want to.
when they heard this, both yin mei and chi ling were stunned, their eyes widened.
especially yin mei, who could not help but speak with some measure of concern and anxiety, “what are you saying, ye ling? how can we split up now? it’s better for us to stay together.”
chi ling stared blankly at ye ling, her expression gradually turning colder and stranger by the moment.
‘what does ye ling mean by suddenly proposing to split up at this point?’
‘could it be that he wants to take all the opportunities for himself because he saw that the place of opportunity is about to arrive?’
‘is that why he wants to split up?’
chi ling couldn’t help but feel a bit cold for a moment.
she wasn’t greedy for ye ling’s opportunities.
if she hadn’t promised ye ling that she would help him, she wouldn’t have come to this place.
there were numerous opportunities in the ancient immortal continent, and she had already wasted a lot of time coming here.
now that ye ling had suddenly said that, she was too shocked.
she had been suspecting that there was an abnormal relationship between ye ling and yin mei for more than a day or two, and now that ye ling had suddenly made it clear, she could not help but want to laugh.
“all right, since ye ling has said so, let’s split up.”
chi ling casually spoke with a cold, arrogant, and indifferent face.
she did not explain anything, nor did she ask any questions.
from today onwards, the relationship between her and ye ling as friends should be concluded.
“i found you!”
and at that very moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from the sky.
there were several powerful figures from the black heavenly eagle clan and the ancient serpent clan.
even the weakest among them were in the heavenly god realm, and there was even an existence in the god king realm.
for the sake of taking down ye ling and the others, all the major clans had mobilised an extremely powerful force.
“not good!”
ye ling paled at this scene. without any time to react, his body quickly morphed into a divine rainbow and disappeared into the distance.
at the same time, yin mei heard a voice from afar saying, “it’s too late, let’s each escape first and meet up at the ancient city.”
originally, he had intended to bring yin mei with him, but the situation was so sudden that he was unable to do so.
the target was him, so he might be able to draw his opponents away.
he thought it might also help to lessen the burden on yin mei.
ye ling suspected that these powerful men were, in fact, suddenly drawn in by chi ling; otherwise, how could the other side have discovered their whereabouts so quickly?
however, he could not settle the score with chi ling right now.
“why are you just standing there? run!”
seeing how yin mei was frozen in place, chi ling frowned and then quickly fled, crushing a divine traversing talisman at the same time, ready to leave the scene.
ye ling had disappointed her so much that she already planned to draw a line between her and him.
as for ye ling’s opportunities, she didn’t care about them at all.
soon, both ye ling and chi ling disappeared, quickly escaping from the mountain range.
the worried look on yin mei’s face as she sat on the greenstone disappeared, showing calm, even relief, though it was mixed with a bit of reluctance.
“master, the task you gave me has finally been accomplished.” yin mei whispered softly.
she had never forgotten the mission that gu changge had assigned to her, to sow discord between chi ling and ye ling.
and today, it finally came to pass.
however, along the way, she has drawn many powerful people, and she herself was indeed severely wounded. she wasn’t as lucky as ye ling and chi ling.
after all, her opponents were all heavenly gods, and there were even many god kings.
she had only broken through to the middle stage of the conferred king realm, so the gap between them was too great.
to have survived several times was already the result of the nine-tailed celestial fox’s good fortune.
to put it bluntly, she had succeeded in fulfilling gu changge’s orders to sow discord between ye ling and chi ling… in exchange for her own life.
she was now severely injured. even if she escaped, she wouldn’t get very far.
yin mei was at peace with the situation.
but somehow, the fact that she wouldn’t see gu changge again before she died made her feel sadness and regret.
there was… something unspeakable in her feelings.
after all, she was just a pawn in gu changge’s hands, the kind that he would throw away as soon as he was done with, the kind he wouldn’t give a second glance.
“oh, this fellow is not running away, are you waiting for death? after running away for so long, it seems that she has given up on her fate. but upon closer inspection, she appears to be a pure and beautiful girl…”
in the sky stood two mighty beings.
one was a heavenly god and the other was a god king, their auras were terrifying, powerful… so powerful that their auras crushed the sky and caused tremendous fluctuations of qi and vitality, causing the mountains in all directions to fall dead silent.
the one who spoke now was the god king creature with a snake’s tail, most likely a member of the ancient serpent clan.
he stared at yin mei with a lustful gaze, somewhat tempted.
“how about this? if you willingly submit to me, i will spare your life.” he opened his mouth and spoke.
as she looked at the expressions of the two mighty beings before her, yin mei held a calm face as she indifferently replied, “stop dreaming, i wouldn’t let you have your way even if i have to blow up my own body.”
although she did not want to die, she would not live in such a disgraceful way either.
after all, it still depends on the individual.
she may have submitted to gu changge and recognized him as her master, but that didn’t mean she’ll submit to just about anyone else.
at this moment, yin mei would rather die.
“hmph, talking tough even though you’re on the verge of death!”
yin mei’s words made the god king realm being in the sky furious, not expecting this girl to be so ungrateful.
boom!
right then, he immediately struck out, and his powerful aura fell in the sky, turning into a big palm to grab yin mei.
yin mei’s face remained cold and unafraid as she chose to self-destruct.
buzz!
all of a sudden, an even more terrifying aura appeared in front of her, transforming into a radiant and unparalleled sword qi, exploding and splitting the heavenly god realm being in front of her into two halves with a single slash.
“who is it?”
the other being in the god king realm reacted with immense anger and looked in the direction where the sword ray came from, his killing intent soaring.
“master…”
yin mei was also frozen at this moment, her beautiful eyes wide open, unable to believe what had just happened… as she looked at the young man who suddenly stepped out of the void in front of her.
then she suddenly jumped into gu changge’s arms, “you are so mean, master, i thought you didn’t want me anymore…”
