The young man in white clothes before Zi Yunchuan’s eyes was none other than Gu Changge, who had left the Imperial Celestial Academy.

 

During this period, he went to the Endless Beasts Territory to look for the Seventh Crown Prince of the Beast Court, Di Kun, who was resentful of Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Although he did not tell Di Kun much about the children of Chu Gucheng, he informed him about their whereabouts.

 

Di Kun was an ambitious person. Despite being quite talented himself and very hardworking, he was not treasured by his Father, the Beast Ancestor. He wanted to take control of the Beast Court and restore their past glory of ruling all other Beasts. Such a person could be aptly used as a chess piece.

 

Although Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court were battling against each other, Gu Changge felt that it was more like a confrontation to maintain face. It was not a war in its traditional sense.

 

He was not satisfied with the outcome. As such, he decided to fan the flames so that the confrontation would escalate.

 

Given his power, he did not need to be overly cautious. However, when he considered many other factors, he had no choice but to personally make a move.

 

Even though the Primary Hope Civilisation was in chaos, it was nowhere near the point of getting destroyed.

 

That said, if he showed up earlier than planned, even if he could subdue the Primary Hope Civilisation, the other Supreme Civilisations in the Boundless Expanse would join forces and counterattack.

 

Such an outcome would have a negative impact on Gu Changge and initiate a chain reaction. Otherwise, he would not want to waste his time like this if he could do otherwise. If he could make a forceful move, he would. After all, that would be the most simple and direct way to get what he wanted.

 

“Is it your first time venturing into the outside world, Brother Gu? I’ve never heard of any Force in the Primary Hope Civilisation where there’s a young being whose power is inscrutable like you. My horizons have been broadened. You made me understand there are always stronger people out there.”

 

Zi Yunchuan pulled himself together. It was not certain if he was buttering Gu Changge up or if his words were sincere.

 

He felt that Gu Changge was surely a Successor of a particular Hidden Force. Even though Purple Sky Mountain and Imperial Celestial Palace were famous, it did not mean there were no Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation that were a match for them.

 

There were some Forbidden Strange Lands that had been hidden for ages that even those from Purple Sky Mountain and Imperial Celestial Palace would be wary of.

 

Zi Yunchuan reckoned that Gu Changge came from one of those places. After all, only such a place could nurture a young being like him who was outstanding and inscrutable.

 

“Is it my first time venturing into the outside world? I guess you can say so.” Gu Changge smiled upon hearing that. It was indeed his first time wandering around the Primary Hope Civilisation like this, so what he said was not technically a lie.

 

He had deliberately made Zi Yunchuan fall into danger so that he could lend him a helping hand.

 

Otherwise, Zi Yunchuan would not have been so unlucky as to come across the Spacetime Rift, which was rumoured to be connected to the Heavenless Lawless Land.

 

Gu Changge had done this so that he would have a suitable identity to wander around the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

As for what speculation Zi Yunchuan had formed, it was none of his business.

 

Gu Changge already had control over the Imperial Celestial Academy. He did not have to worry that Zhou Yuanyi and the others, who had seen his true appearance before, would expose anything.

 

Upon hearing that, Zi Yunchuan felt his speculation was right. He said meditatively, “I knew it. May I know how you rank in the Force you belong to, Brother Gu?”

 

He was curious because those Forbidden Strange Lands were mysterious. Even the most powerful Forces like Purple Sky Mountain knew little about them.

 

He had heard that in the Ancient Epoch; the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace went looking for those Forbidden Strange Lands hoping to find Last Stage Cultivation Techniques. He went missing after that. It was a wonder if he had found it.

 

Apart from Last Stage Cultivation Techniques, it was said that those Forbidden Strange Lands also had the Supreme Connection Technique which could be used to communicate with the Land of Truth.

 

They had been around for so long that their history could even be traced back to the time before the Primary Hope Holy Church was founded.

 

Moreover, Zi Yunchuan had heard that the source of the Black Disaster, which had devastated the Boundless Expanse in the Eternal Epoch, might lay dormant in one of those Forbidden Strange Lands.

 

All the mysteries made Zi Yunchuan revere those form the Forbidden Strange Lands.

 

“Oh, how I rank?” Gu Changge did not expect Zi Yunchuan to ask such a question.

 

He gave it some thought with a smile and said, “No one is stronger than I am.”

 

Upon hearing that, Zi Yunchuan was relieved. He replied with a smile, “I knew your background wasn’t as simple as you’d said, Brother Gu.”

 

He understood that even if he used all his moves, he still would not be a match for Gu Changge. When he learned that Gu Changge was the strongest in his Force, he felt much better. After all, he was one of the strongest cultivators of the current generation at Purple Sky Mountain. He would not be able to accept it if a random person who came out of nowhere was already much stronger than he was. Naturally, he instinctively believed that Gu Changge meant that he was the most powerful among his peers. Thus, he did not think deeply about it.

 

Many people were moving around on the old street. Gu Changge and Zi Yunchuan were walking forward shoulder to shoulder. Many people followed behind them as they headed to the city centre.

 

Zi Yunchuan kept a smile on his face, seemingly having a joyous chat with Gu Changge.

 

Many cultivators and living beings in Purple Return City recognised Zi Yunchuan and knew that he was one of the most powerful prodigies of Purple Sky Mountain. Moreover, he was a Junior directly related to the current Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain.

 

Therefore, these people were shocked. They were curious about this young man beside him. After all, a young being whom Zi Yunchuan valued and talked to like this surely had a powerful background.

 

Moreover, the young man seemed completely at ease. He did not seem to care about Zi Yunchuan’s identity.

 

This astounded these cultivators. While they were sizing Gu Changge up, they were also making guesses about his background.

 

“I’m close friends with Fairy Cai Yun of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. She has returned to Purple Return City and booked a room in the Waterfront Chamber. She’s waiting for me. Would you like to come with me, Brother Gu? There’ll be some famous prodigies of the same generation too.”

 

Purple Return City was vast. An area would span millions of kilometres. There were countless beautiful and magnificent buildings.

 

In the Primary Hope Civilisation, young prodigies like Zi Yunchuan were noble and important. They frequently contacted each other, so they could be considered a group.

 

After the appearance of Thousand Treasures Secret Domain, those who had arrived early had prepared a banquet to wait for the others’ arrival. They intended to meet up before heading to the secret domain.

 

Zi Yunchuan invited Gu Changge to the banquet with anticipation, hoping that the latter would go over with him.
