LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 115
Chapter 115
Although Gu Yuan was ruthless, who was willing to seize his cousin’s Dao Bone for the sake of his own talent that led to the downfall of the ninth branch of his family, he still had deep feelings for his father, ancestors, and other family members.
Therefore, upon learning that the Gu family had been annihilated by Su Changsheng, he was filled with rage and sought revenge.
However, at that time, he was too weak. Su Changsheng was a Saint, far beyond his ability to contend with.
Now that he had joined the Chaos Holy Land, not only was he a disciple of a Quasi-Emperor, but he had also become a Saint. With the combination of his two great physiques, he was confident that he could easily slay Su Changsheng.
“……Disciple, do you know the true strength of that Su Changsheng?” Upon hearing this, Sovereign Cang Qing’s expression became somewhat peculiar as she looked at Gu Yuan, her gaze filled with a hint of amusement.
“Strength? Isn’t he just a newly ascended Saint? As a fellow Saint, I only need one move to kill him!”
Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then spoke with confidence.
With two top-tier divine physiques in one body, killing an ordinary Saint of the same rank would be incredibly easy.
“Oh? What if I told you that Su Changsheng has already broken through to the Saint King realm, once killed a half-step Great Saint with a single sword strike, and even severed a phantom of a Quasi-Emperor’s divine sense with one sword?”
Sovereign Cang Qing said, her eyes filled with amusement.
“What?! How is that possible! He… he wasn’t…” Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan was stunned. Severing a phantom of a Quasi-Emperor’s divine sense with a single sword strike—what kind of monster was this?
With such strength, even if he cultivated for hundreds more years, he might still be unable to exact his revenge!
Moreover, hadn’t Su Changsheng just recently broken through to the Saint realm?
In such a short time, he was already capable of severing a Quasi-Emperor’s divine sense.
If given a few more centuries, how terrifying would he become?
For a moment, Gu Yuan’s heart trembled, his face turned ashen, and he was utterly crushed by the realization of Su Changsheng’s power.
His previous confidence and high spirits completely dissipated.
“Disciple!”
Seeing Gu Yuan’s dejected expression, Sovereign Cang Qing frowned. She did not want to see her painstakingly cultivated disciple fall into despair, so she immediately let out a sharp rebuke, like a clap of thunder.
“Master, I am sorry for disappointing you!”
Gu Yuan snapped out of his daze, and upon seeing the disappointment in Sovereign Cang Qing’s eyes, he felt immense shame. He quickly knelt on the ground, his voice heavy with regret.
“Disciple, you need not be discouraged. Su Changsheng harbors great secrets; his rapid advancement is not merely due to natural talent. He is likely a powerful being who has reincarnated and started cultivating anew, which explains his swift progress!”
Sovereign Cang Qing explained.
It was because of Gu Yuan that Sovereign Cang Qing had paid attention to Su Changsheng.
With the influence of the Chaos Holy Land, investigating a Saint was naturally an easy task.
As for Su Changsheng’s numerous achievements…
In Sovereign Cang Qing’s view, they were indeed astonishing, but they likely stemmed more from the power of his “previous incarnation.”
The so-called reincarnation and re-cultivation involve a powerful being whose physical body had decayed and withered. At this point, they would transfer their cultivation to another body, seizing it and starting anew, often regaining their peak strength in a very short time.
This was a form of alternative reincarnation, but it wouldn’t extend one’s lifespan. Instead, it would significantly reduce it.
Moreover, due to the mismatch between the primordial spirit and the new body, the operation of the Dao became flawed. After reincarnation and re-cultivation, it was nearly impossible to break through further, and one was destined to remain at their original realm for life.
Therefore, very few powerful beings choose to do this.
“But if I want to avenge my family, it will likely take hundreds or even thousands of years!” Gu Yuan said bitterly.
A thousand years was too long.
“Disciple, you still don’t understand. Who are you? You are my disciple, a personal disciple of a peak Quasi-Emperor, and a true disciple of the Chaos Holy Land. Your background is your greatest weapon!”
Sovereign Cang Qing’s tone could not hide her disappointment.
Background?
Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then was filled with joy.
“Master, are you willing to help me?”
“You are ultimately my disciple. To allow you to cultivate wholeheartedly, I will remove this obstacle for you. No matter how strong Su Changsheng is, he is merely a Great Saint. A Quasi-Emperor can easily obliterate him with a flick of a finger,” Sovereign Cang Qing said calmly.
In her eyes, Su Changsheng was just an old man who had reincarnated and posed no real threat. With a bit of effort, he could be easily crushed.
“Master, I want to go with you!” Gu Yuan said through gritted teeth, his face full of hatred.
Even if he couldn’t personally take action, he wanted to witness Su Changsheng’s death with his own eyes.
“Very well, I will have a Venerable Lord and a few Great Saints accompany you. Additionally, take this.”
Sovereign Cang Qing tossed him a token, simple and unadorned, with only the character “Cang” inscribed on it.
“What is this?” Gu Yuan asked.
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned.
“The Cang Qing Token contains an incarnation of mine. If you encounter any danger, it will automatically protect you,” Sovereign Cang Qing continued.
“I will be in seclusion for a period of time and will not emerge soon. When you return, remember to cultivate diligently. If you show any signs of slacking, I will not hesitate to punish you severely!”
“Alright, you may go now!”
With a wave of her hand, Sovereign Cang Qing sent Gu Yuan out. She then clasped her hands behind her back, her gaze piercing through numerous divine realms, staring into an unknown distance.
“It’s a pity. If only there was a true Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations!”
After a long while, she sighed.
“A Quasi-Emperor is taking action. Su Changsheng, this time, you are doomed!”
Outside the hall, Gu Yuan clutched the token in his hand, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.
Soon, he departed, ready to request a Venerable Lord to take action and return to the True Saint Continent to kill Su Changsheng.
Meanwhile, in the Myriad Dragon Heavenly Realm, within the Heavenly Dragon Divine Domain, lay a vast and ancient imperial clan.
This was the domain ruled by the Heavenly Dragon Clan, a renowned and fearsome lineage.
At this moment, within a majestic palace of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Clan.
“Aunt, I have brought you the information you requested. Su Changsheng, from the Eternal Heavenly Realm in the Kunpeng Divine Domain of the True Saint Continent, seems to be the one who matches your description the best!”
Inside the palace, an exceptionally beautiful woman walked in. She had a pair of golden dragon horns, an exquisite and cold visage, and was dressed in luxurious, radiant attire. Every movement exuded an unparalleled noble aura.
She was the Heavenly Dragon Princess, ranked seventh on the Great Saint List.
“Really? Good, good, good!”
Not far from her, another beautiful woman sat with a sullen expression. Upon hearing this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, soon letting out a cold laugh.
“A mere Great Saint, likely a reincarnated Quasi-Emperor, dares to kill my Cang’er. I will make sure he dies!” the beautiful woman said coldly.
A terrifying aura spread out, as if tearing through the heavens and earth, causing even the Heavenly Dragon Princess to frown and feel a sense of oppression.
“Sorry, Qing’er, and thank you!”
The beautiful woman quickly realized her mistake and retracted her aura, her expression turning gentle.
“It’s alright, Aunt. Let me go in your place!” The Heavenly Dragon Princess shook her head and then spoke.
“Go in my place? Qing’er, that is a reincarnated Quasi-Emperor. Even if he hasn’t regained his peak strength, he is not someone a Great Saint can handle!”
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman frowned.
It wasn’t that she doubted her niece’s abilities, but after all, she was only a Great Saint.
“Rest assured, Aunt. A decayed, yet-to-reach-peak reincarnated Quasi-Emperor is just the perfect whetstone for me, helping me get one step closer on the path to becoming a Quasi-Emperor!” the Heavenly Dragon Princess said confidently.
“Moreover, I will carry a Supreme Weapon for protection. Even if I can’t defeat him, once I unleash the Supreme Weapon, it will be enough to suppress and kill the enemy, resolving the issue with ease!”
Hearing this, the beautiful woman relaxed her frown and looked at the Heavenly Dragon Princess with a gratified smile.
“With you saying that, I am relieved!”
“Sigh! If only Cang’er had been as cautious and wise as you, he wouldn’t have fallen so early!”
She couldn’t help but sigh in sorrow.
“Rest assured, I will avenge Brother Cang!” the Heavenly Dragon Princess nodded, speaking calmly.
However, it was clear that she did not have much affection for this Brother Cang, as a hint of disdain could be seen in her expression.
Boom!
In the True Saint Continent, within the Azure Emperor’s Tomb, the transformations of Su Changsheng and others also reached their climax. Several terrifying auras tore through the sky, shaking the void.
“They’ve broken through!”
Gu Qingge opened her eyes.
