What just happened outside Purple Sky Mountain astonished all the cultivators and living beings there.

 

They did not expect the white-clothed young man to have such a powerful background.

 

Moreover, he was young, and he did not look like a young Disciple from any Major Force.

 

Despite his young age, he easily commanded respect from Zi Yan. What was more, he even requested to see the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain.

 

Everyone felt dizzy. They could not imagine the kind of background Gu Changge had. Some old cultivators thought of something and turned solemn. One of them said in a small voice, “Perhaps it has something to do with the incident in Southbarren Ancient Territory.”

 

When some cultivators heard that, they recalled the incident and turned solemn as well.

 

[Does he really come from a Forbidden Strange Land just like what’s said in the rumours?]

 

They found it inconceivable.

 

Purple Sky Mountain was not a mountain range. It was more like a sacred land that hovered in this world. The mountains were covered in clouds. Many Spacetimes were located in the surrounding universe around Purple Sky Mountain like bubbles.

 

Zi Yan rode on a Divine Light and led the way for them as they quickly moved past lakes and mountains. They used several Teleportation Arrays and traversed across many areas before arriving at the centre of Purple Sky Mountain.

 

However, they were still on the periphery of Purple Sky Mountain. It was not the inner area. The core area of Purple Sky Mountain was located in the Inner Universe. Even if some cultivators managed to come here, they would be trapped until their deaths if no one led the way for them.

 

The young companions around Zi Yan appeared solemn as well. They were no longer as casual as when they were outside Purple Sky Mountain.

 

The black-robed young man was named Zi Wu. He was a famous prodigy among the young Disciples of Purple Sky Mountain, and his Father held an important position. But now, he was silently following Zi Yan.

 

Although Zi Yan was soft-spoken, she was clever and tactful. Someone like her had good judgement skills. When Zi Wu saw how her expression and attitude had changed, he also formed some speculation about Gu Changge’s identity.

 

He had intended to keep making fun of Ye Suyi. Nevertheless, since she was by Gu Changge’s side and called him ‘Young Master’, he naturally would not dare to cause a scene here.

 

He was curious deep within. If Gu Changge was indeed the person they had heard a lot about in the rumours, why did he come to Purple Sky Mountain this time? Was he a friend or a foe?

 

“Young Master Gu, I’ve informed the seniors about your arrival. They’re heading to the gathering hall now,” Zi Yan said softly and respectfully. As she waved her hand, an ancient Teleportation Array opened up. A blurred passageway appeared and extended from her feet.

 

Gu Changge nodded and followed her to step into the blurred passageway. He did not say anything the entire time.

 

Ye Suyi also silently followed him.

 

As for Jing Tianyuan and the White Bone Ancestor King, they had always remained silent. The ancient auras exuding from them were intimidating.

 

Along the way, when the Disciples of Purple Sky Mountain saw Zi Yan, they would respectfully salute her. Then, they would look at Gu Changge with curiosity and form speculation about his identity.

 

The depths of Purple Sky Mountain were covered in clouds and the aura of Great Dao was thick. The innate spiritual energy seemed to have liquefied as it flowed between the mountains, forming lakes of spiritual energy.

 

Many beings were shocked upon receiving Zi Yan’s messages and they stop their secluded cultivation. Several figures rushed out of their Supreme Caves, which were always covered in Chaos Energy. Blood Qi shot into the sky as spiritual energy surged.

 

[A Young Master surnamed Gu!] The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain opened his eyes as the Principles of the Great Dao disappeared. He was wearing a purplish-gold crown and a cloak embroidered with starry patterns. His towering figure was seated in the void. Around him were many Spacetimes with various Principles floating around.

 

As he rose to his feet, everything subsided. Then, he stepped forward and disappeared from his spot.

 

Many ancient beings from other parts of Purple Sky Mountain were going over upon receiving the news. This matter was important to them.

 

Zi Susu, who was in seclusion in a different mountain range, had also heard the news. As she looked at the servant who had hurriedly come over to report the matter to her, a myriad of expressions came over her alluring face.

 

[Ye Suyi has returned. What’s more, she’s following a young man surnamed Gu?] She donned a dark expression and clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles paled.

 

[No, I have to check. Ye Suyi is aware of my secret. If this matter is exposed, the Ancestor won’t let me off.] Zi Susu appeared slightly afraid as she got to her feet and left her Supreme Cave in a hurry.

 

At the same time, she told a maidservant to inform her Mother about it so that the latter could come up with a solution. She was worried Ye Suyi would settle the score with her.

 

Regardless, she and Ye Suyi were Sisters born to the same Father. She believed Ye Suyi would not retaliate against her over the incident back then for the sake of their useless Father.

 

All the high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain were shocked upon receiving Zi Yan’s messages. Divine Lights traversed across different areas and headed to the gathering hall.

 

Even Elders who rarely showed up were going over. Their faces were covered in Chaos Qi, and they exuded horrifying pressure.

 

[If that person really comes from a Forbidden Strange Land, there must be a deeper meaning behind his visit.]

 

All sorts of speculation turned over in the minds of those elders as they squinted their eyes.

 

[Has Brother Gu really arrived? Am I the friend he’s talking about?]

 

In another Practice Ground, Zi Yunchuan ended his training session. Wisps of purple mist flashed across his eyes before disappearing. He was equally shocked when he heard the news. Then, he was pleasantly surprised as he hurriedly left the place.

 

He initially thought that after they parted ways at Waterfront Chamber, they would never meet again. As such, he was surprised to learn that Gu Changge had suddenly arrived at Purple Sky Mountain.

 

To Zi Yunchuan, Gu Changge was not merely someone who had saved his life. There was a huge difference between their identities. Since Gu Changge still regarded him as a friend, it showed that he valued him.

 

The gathering hall of Purple Sky Mountain was burry to the eyes. It was as though they were located in a primordial universe, where chaos loomed.

 

The stars flickered above them as the moonlight flowed like water. The galaxy was falling like a waterfall as the stars were heaving.

 

All the high-ranking officials of Purple Sky Mountain had come to this place as they stood there and examined Gu Changge and his companions.

 

Zi Susu stood behind her Grandmother and hung her head low. Her hair hung loose around her shoulders as she clenched her fists and stole glances at the white-clothed young man in the centre of the hall.

 

It was her first time seeing the true appearance of Gu Changge. She had only heard about the incident at the Waterfront Chamber, but she had never seen him before.

 

The white-clothed young man was gentle and graceful. It was as though he had stepped out of a painting. Zi Susu was in a dazed state, forgetting about Zi Suyi who also hung her head low behind Gu Changge.

 

She quickly shook her head and pulled herself together. Suddenly, she was envious of Ye Suyi for her luck. To think she would come across this kind-hearted Young Master at the Waterfront Chamber and he had allowed her to follow him.

 

“Greetings, Young Master Gu. I’m the current Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain, Zi Wanhe. What’s your purpose for visiting our Sect?”

 

The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain only looked like he was in his thirties. He looked like an upright person with a deep gaze.

 

He was examining Gu Changge when he spoke.

 

However, when his gaze fell upon the White Bone Ancestor King and Jing Tianyuan, his pupils dilated.

 

The others with profound cultivation reacted the same way as he did. Since they could not see through Gu Changge’s power and background, they could not make any deduction.

 

When they looked at the old servants behind him, they all felt intimidated.

 

Even the living fossils in the Ancestral Dao Realm who had been hiding in the dark were astounded as they felt a chill running down their spines. The elegant old man was way more powerful than they were. He was not an average Ancestral Dao Realm Master.

 

This made them feel anxious.

 

“It’s said that the might of Purple Sky Mountain is the best among the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation. This statement is indeed true.” Gu Changge put on a faint smile. He did not directly tell them his purpose for the visit. He scanned the surroundings while they were examining him.

 

He could also see those Ancestral Dao Realm experts who were hiding in the dark.

 

On the surface, Purple Sky Mountain was indeed more powerful than the Imperial Celestial Palace. It was true that they were the mightiest in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Before Chu Gucheng founded Land of Celestial Suffering, he was hunted down by the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain. Even until now, Chu Gucheng still did not dare to settle the score with him.

 

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s words, those of Purple Sky Mountain smiled and set their minds at ease. It seemed that Gu Changge was friendly. He was not hostile against them.

 

That being said, before they found out about his true intention, they still remained cautious.
