Chapter 2309 A Sensation Across All Realms
A sudden sense of unease made Rong Che tense up, his brows furrowed, and the smile on his lips froze for a moment before fading away.
"Brother Rong, what's wrong?"
Seeing Rong Che's emotions fluctuate so much, Lin Changsheng's face turned solemn, and he spoke earnestly.
The progenitor of the Dragon Clan became a guest elder of the Qing Sect under Chen Qingyuan's arrangement.
The Guardian of the Clan holds a position above all other Guardians, second only to the Clan Master.
However, Qingzong has not yet made this public.
In the vast Qingzong sect, the number of people who know that the sect has gained a new Grand Emperor guest elder is less than a handful.
The two men addressed each other as brothers and had formed a deep friendship.
Initially, Rong Che was trying to build a closer relationship with Chen Qingyuan out of consideration for him, which he believed would be entirely beneficial. Later, he had an in-depth conversation with Lin Changsheng and they found they shared similar interests and felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Rong Che did not answer the question directly, but lowered his eyes and quickly formed hand seals, using the Emperor's Secret Technique to deduce the answer.
After a short while, Rong Che deduced the approximate location.
"Immortality!"
Just then, a faint, ancient voice reached my ears.
Upon hearing this, Rong Che's body trembled slightly, as if he had been struck by a faint electric shock. His eyes flashed with an extremely complex and strange light, and his heart was filled with ripples.
Where did the sound come from?
Rong Che looked surprised and subconsciously glanced out the window.
Is it an illusion?
Rong Che began to doubt himself.
However, that ancient and profound sense of Taoist charm truly influenced the soul and mind, making it impossible to ignore.
"The situation is about to change, but I'm not entirely sure what the specifics will be."
After a moment of stunned silence, Rong Che seemed to snap out of a dream, looked at Lin Changsheng, and spoke in a heavy tone.
"In times of great strife, peace is hard to come by."
Lin Changsheng's brow furrowed with worry again, and he sighed softly.
How many years have passed since the collapse of the Divine Bridge caused the resulting riots?
I really don't know when the order and rules of China will return to peace.
"This is of great importance; I must go and see."
Rong Che couldn't sit still any longer; he had to witness it firsthand to see how things would develop.
"Brother, be careful and pay attention to your safety."
Lin Changsheng stood up to see him off, showing genuine concern.
Rong Che nodded and said, "Yes, I will."
Before leaving, Rong Che gave a final instruction: "If you encounter any trouble, make sure you stay alive. When I return, I will definitely seek justice for you."
The Qing Clan is a large and powerful family with a deep foundation. Even the ancient gods would most likely not be foolish enough to provoke them.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If any unexpected situation were to occur, Rong Che would not want Lin Changsheng to lose his life.
"clear."
Such heartwarming words brought a smile to Lin Changsheng's face.
"I'm leaving now. Wait for me to come back, and we'll have another good drink together."
Rong Che said his last words and rode away on the wind.
Powerful figures from all over the land flocked to the Upper Star Domain of the Imperial State.
The entire world was in an uproar, and the heavens and earth changed color.
This triumphant song of a golden age is about to reach a tremendous climax.
This upheaval not only affects all races and people, but even the Great Emperor is at risk of falling. The crisis is far beyond imagination.
……
Above, galaxies crumble, space collapses.
Every now and then, the word "immortality" resurfaces.
Formless and invisible, it blends into the universe.
Even with one's sense of hearing closed, one can still hear the 'immortality' that has both a mystical and alluring quality.
May you live a long and healthy life, as long as the heavens.
This is the goal that countless unparalleled powerhouses have strived for!
This road is the burial ground for countless corpses.
Every skeleton that is pulled out was a remarkable person in life, who left a significant mark on the long river of history, recorded in the annals, and praised by future generations.
On this day, Ji Fushuang slowly approached, holding an umbrella made of paulownia leaves.
Her demeanor was graceful, elegant, and noble.
With each step she took, the void rippled like the surface of water.
She was a classic beauty, holding an umbrella in one hand and placing the other palm against her abdomen.
Her steps were light and graceful, her clothes fluttering in the breeze.
"I've met all of you fellow Taoists."
Ji Fushuang's lips seemed to be tinged with the glow of sunset, and her voice was ethereal and melodious.
Chen Qingyuan and the others nodded in return to show their goodwill.
Perhaps acknowledging Ji Fushuang's strength, or perhaps because they were both women, Zhixi and Ji Fushuang exchanged glances for a few moments, with Zhixi nodding in response. Then, she turned her gaze back to the black mist and continued to observe.
Boom!
Soon after, Gu Kong strode over.
His entrance was simple and brutal; he tore through space and instantly arrived in this realm.
He glanced around, said nothing, walked straight to where Zhixi was, and then called out with a smile, "Sister."
Zhi Xi gave her a cold glance and did not respond.
Gu Kong was used to this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
If Zhixi were to smile at him or even treat him warmly one day, it would be rather strange and unsettling.
It still has that same sense of detachment and indifference, which is fine.
Gu Kong stayed by Zhi Xi's side, with no intention of moving.
Watching Gu Kong's actions, Chen Qingyuan cursed inwardly, "Shameless!"
While others were unaware of the causal relationship between Gu Kong and Zhi Xi, Chen Qingyuan knew it perfectly well.
At first, when Zhixi was young, she joined a small sect, and Gu Kong was already an elder of that sect. When they first met, their statuses were vastly different.
Later, for some reason, Zhixi was expelled from the sect and became a rogue cultivator.
In the story that follows, Zhixi meets a benefactor, begins to rise, and suppresses an era.
Gu Kong actually had the nerve to call Zhi Xi "sister," and even did so with a hint of flattery.
He's an ancient emperor, after all. Can't he tone it down a bit in front of outsiders?
Gu Kong didn't care about what others thought.
Only by experiencing Zhi Xi's era can one realize how terrifying she is.
Gu Kong was completely convinced; no one could replace Zhi Xi's special place in his heart.
In his view, if Zhixi hadn't had little desire for the supreme path and had wasted so much precious time searching for the traces of a noble person, Mu Cangyan wouldn't have had the chance to run wild here.
Chi!
A ball of flame scorched a large area of the void. Ye Liujun, dressed in a black Daoist robe, stepped out from the ghostly flames. His whole body was burning with small flames, and his power was extremely strong. It was clear that his body had recovered and even improved.
Ye Liujun, the progenitor of the Fire Spirit, once studied the Taiwei Emperor's insights into the Great Dao of Fire and benefited greatly from them.
"Fellow."
Ye Liujun greeted An Xiruo and the others with a smile.
There was no need for formalities with Chen Qingyuan; a glance was exchanged, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Then, Ye Liujun appeared in front of Zhi Xi and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior."
Ye Liujun's survival to this day is largely thanks to Zhi Xi.
Back then, Mu Cangyan secretly attempted to erase Ye Liujun's original consciousness and turn him into a puppet. Chen Qingyuan pleaded with Zhixi, which averted Ye Liujun's inevitable death.
Given Ye Liujun's respectful manner, Zhixi naturally wouldn't ignore him and responded with a faint "Mm".
