“After everything has settled, I will help you remove the Curse of Rebirth. But, you have to help me with something first.”

 

Luo Xiangjun’s words were spoken lightly. In any case, the ray of light had already penetrated directly into Wang He’s body. There was no room for discussion anymore at this point.

 

Wang He’s expression became incomparably ugly. Honestly speaking, he was burning with an indescribable rage. He had not expected the Eternal Saintess, Luo Xiangjun, to be so tyrannical that she would not even bother to speak with him first.

 

At this moment, he could clearly sense the ray of light swiftly spreading throughout his body. It was just like a germinating seed, penetrating every part of his body, including his skin, bones, and organs. It was quickly taking root in his body.

 

Its power was extremely overbearing. Moreover, it seemed capable of controlling him, destroying his Life Force at will.

 

Although its name was the ‘Curse of Rebirth’, the curse was actually sending its victims toward their death! It was truly a domineering and cruel curse.

 

“What do you want me to help you with, Eternal Saintess?”

 

In the end, Wang He could only suppress the hatred and cold resentment in his heart. Forcing himself to remain calm, he cupped his fists and inquired.

 

From the day he was born, he had always relied on the Scavenger Tome to live an easy and comfortable life. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had never suffered such humiliation before, such that his life had fallen into the hands of others.

 

The current turn of events made him livid. He swore to himself that he would find an opportunity to make Luo Xiangjun pay for her sins one day.

 

Luo Xiangjun stood quite close, with her skirts fluttering and her hair dancing.

 

Her legs were slender and straight, which made her seem one head taller than most ordinary girls. The emotions on her face could not be seen clearly. In any case, she simply glanced at Wang He with disinterest and said, “I want you to steal the Artifact that you told Mu Yan about and hand it over to me.”

 

Those words immediately made Wang He’s heart freeze in shock for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He did not know how Luo Xiangjun had learned that he had informed Mu Yan about the Azure Sky Realm. Nevertheless, the current situation indicated that she was desperate to obtain the Artifact inside the Azure Sky Realm.

 

[Could it be that her true strength surpassed the Dao Realm, so she could not enter the Azure Sky Realm herself? Is that why she came to him instead?]

 

“I will definitely do my best to obtain the Artifact for you, Eternal Saintess.”

 

He cupped his fists again. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but nothing unusual was revealed in his expression.

 

“I will be waiting for you outside the Azure Sky Realm. I hope you do not disappoint me.”

 

Luo Xiangjun nodded, seemingly oblivious to the thoughts inside Wang He’s head.

 

Afterwards, Wang He did not waste time either. With a flash of his figure, he sped towards the Azure Sky Realm’s entrance in the distance.

 

He originally planned to wait for Gu Changge and Mu Yan to arrive at this place. Once they had arrived, he was going to confirm their entry into the Azure Sky Realm and then follow them from behind. Unfortunately, he had to place his original plans and intentions aside for the time being in order to preserve his own life.

 

He had to find the divine Artifact before Mu Yan and the others. After all, he knew about the hatred between Mu Yan and the Divine Eternal Clan. The root of all their resentment had stemmed from the Divine Artifact that Mu Yan currently possessed.

 

It was just that the information he obtained indicated that Mu Yan would later destroy the Divine Artifact with her own hands. As for the reason for her action, there was no way for him to know right now.

 

Furthermore, the Saintess of the Divine Eternal Clan was too low profile. Such a person did not seem to exist in any of the life records that he knew of. If he had known about the horror of the Eternal Saintess in advance, he would have been more vigilant towards her.

 

<I did not expect that woman to actually interfere in this matter. But, the Curse of Rebirth is certainly troublesome to deal with. Based on my knowledge, there is nothing I can do for you right now.> The Scavenger Tome’s Artifact Spirit voice sounded at this moment.

 

Wang He had not expected the Scavenger Tome’s Artifact Spirit to show concern for him, so he was astonished.

 

“Since it is temporarily impossible to break the curse, then we can just ignore it. In my opinion, the Eternal Saintess’ strength is no inferior to the Heavenly Elders of the Zhuo Clan. Besides, she gives me an extremely strange feeling. Even the previous Eternal Saintesses from ancient times were not as frightening as her.” Wang He shook his head. It was clear he was very frightened of Luo Xiangjun.

 

The Scavenger Tome’s Artifact Spirit did not say anything else after listening to his reply.

 

It did not take long before Wang He’s figure vanished out of sight. He passed through the seemingly transparent area in front of him and came to the entrance of the Azure Sky Realm.

 

A terrifying portal seemed to stretch across the entire Star Territory, and there was no boundary that could be seen at first glance. Rather, it was almost as though an enormous chasm had suddenly opened up in the sky. There was a vast and surging aura lingering around the area. In addition, scattered Source Matter entwined with brilliant divine light poured out from the surroundings.

 

Looking at the scene, there seemed to be a dazzling world hidden behind the portal. For ordinary living creatures, the sight resembled a Realm of Eternal Life, that filled them with a sense of longing.

 

Numerous people had already passed through various dangers and arrived in the vicinity to search for opportunities. Be that as it may, most of them were still testing the waters. They did not charge into the Azure Sky Realm immediately, fearing that something unforeseen might occur to them.

 

Wang He swept his gaze over the surroundings. Then, he transformed into a Divine Rainbow and passed through the Azure Sky Realm’s portal without the slightest hesitation.

 

He was in the Quasi-Dao Realm. Even if he was subjected to any Suppression, due to his cultivation, the effects would not be too great. That was why he barely had any opponents who could rival him in strength inside the Azure Sky Realm. After all, no Dao Realm expert could enter.

 

The only exception was if he encountered any unknown dangers.

 

…

 

“I hope he will not disappoint me.”

 

Luo Xiangjun watched until Wang He’s figure vanish into the distance before she retracted her gaze. Her scarlet lips moved slightly as she murmured to herself.

 

She was not expecting Wang He to help her retrieve the Eternal Divine Diagram. On the contrary, she simply wanted him to help her scout the path ahead and simultaneously probe into Gu Changge’s true identity.

 

With her strength, she was perfectly capable of concealing her true abilities in the outside world and effortlessly infiltrating the Azure Sky Realm without being rejected. However, she did not do that. She could not help feeling slightly uneasy since she did not know the true extent of Gu Changge’s strength.

 

Judging by the fact that Gu Changge could easily subdue experts like an Ancestor from the Hun Clan, and even order such experts around at will, it was safe to say that Gu Changge was at least stronger than Hun Yuanjun.

 

Experts of that level were generally extremely proud and arrogant. What more an existence on the verge of entering the Ancestral Dao Realm? How could they easily submit to others and allow themselves to be ordered around?

 

Since Mu Yan possessed the Eternal Divine Furnace, she was bound to head towards the Azure Sky Realm to search for the other Eternal Divine Artifact, the Eternal Divine Diagram. Furthermore, there was a high possibility that Gu Changge might accompany her and travel together.

 

Just because Wang He was a fool did not mean that Luo Xiangjun would be equally as foolish as to take on the risk of entering the Azure Sky Realm in person.

 

If Wang He encountered Gu Changge inside the Azure Sky Realm, then there was no need for her to enter the Azure Sky Realm herself. In that case, she could only search for a different method to obtain the Eternal Divine Diagram and the Eternal Divine Furnace.

 

“I thought that guy had an ancient monster advising him from the shadows, but now… it seems…” Luo Xiangjun shook her head with an ambiguous laugh. Then, her figure swiftly disappeared into the vicinity.

 

The news of the Azure Sky Realm’s emergence caused a huge commotion among the Great Universes of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

Numerous Forces were beside themselves with excitement and constantly dispatched their powerful experts there.

 

After all, each appearance of the Azure Sky Realm had always brought countless benefits and treasures.

 

Someone once found an ancient stone-engraved book personally written by a Dao Realm expert, which expounded upon the most profound and mysterious essence of the Dao.

 

The book was naturally absolutely priceless.

 

Others also obtained Quasi-Dao Realm Artifacts, forged by various Dao Realm experts. These Artifacts required only some slight refinement to become items of overwhelming power.

 

Countless ancient records regarding the general outline of cultivation, and powerful Techniques could also be found there.

 

In fact, there were innumerable opportunities in the Azure Sky Realm.

 

These opportunities were enough to bless an entire Civilisation and change the fate of countless cultivators. Needless to say, the current emergence of the Azure Sky Realm was no exception.

 

Aside from extremely powerful Forces such as the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan, there were also many Elders who appeared outside the Azure Sky Realm. They personally escorted their descendants or disciples, hoping to seek opportunities for them.

 

As soon as the Divine Son of the Divine Eternal Clan, Li Yang, received the news, he immediately departed from Breeze Ancient City and rushed over with his men.

 

During this period, the White Bone Ancestor King had been guiding Mo Tong’s cultivation. He naturally had no interest in the Azure Sky Realm, but he decided to toss Mo Tong into the Azure Sky Realm after realising that the experience could be an interesting test for her.

 

Mo Tong’s strength had rapidly improved under the White Bone Ancestor King’s guidance. Compared to before, her abilities had undergone earth-shaking changes.

 

She herself regarded the White Bone Ancestor King with great respect and dutifully upheld the etiquette of a disciple.

 

Gu Changge observed everything, feeling quite satisfied with the results. It was just that the current Mo Tong was not strong enough to stand on her own. Her strength was far from enough.

 

He originally considered looking for more suitable candidates for his goals. However, he could not find any other Fortuitous Ones, who held as much Fortuity as Mo Tong even though he searched the entire surrounding area.

 

In the end, he decided to give up on the idea.

 

He had planned to nurture Mu Yan into the Immortal Spirit Civilisation’s New Master.

 

Unfortunately, the current Mu Yan was far from meeting his requirements. Therefore, he needed to carry out other alternative plans to make her grow faster.

 

There were not many affairs in the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan that required Gu Changge’s consideration. The two Forces were fairly obedient so far, having yet to cause any mistakes or troubles.

 

In the meantime, Gu Changge also instructed Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun to gather their manpower. He planned to create a suitable opportunity so that he could take action against the Wu Clan and the Gou Clan.

 

Both Clans were comparable to the Zhuo Clan or the Hun Clan in terms of strength. Moreover, they were probably vigilant toward him by now. That was why he had to gain control over the Elders of the two Clans as quickly as possible to prevent any adverse consequences caused by prolonged delay.

 

Once all Four Major Clans were under his control, then the rest in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation would become easy to handle.

 

[By then, it would already too late even if the Primary Hope Civilisation noticed something. By that time, everything would have been decided.]

 

Gu Changge pondered quietly and began to make preparations for the rest of his plans.

 

Wan Yanxiu and the other Ancestors of the Spirit Ruin True World had always assumed that Gu Changge was the Lord of a certain Life Forbidden Area in the Boundless Expanse, who had been in deep slumber for countless years until he recently woke up.

 

Even the Spirit Empress, who had remained by his side for some time, thought the same. She believed that he had experienced numerous things in the past.

 

In fact, although he appeared to be quite young, the truth was that he had truly experienced extensive vicissitudes in life. His very behaviour also implied that there were profound reasons behind his actions…

 

Those who established their own Forbidden Areas were generally those who once experienced the destruction of their homeland, and the loss of their homes. Furthermore, they witnessed their friends and relatives dying in front of them but were powerless to do anything.

 

Compared to Lunatics like the White Bone Ancestor King, who abandoned everything and threw away his emotions, the so-called Lords of the Forbidden Area were more like lonely Souls wandering the Boundless Expanse for the sake of an indelible obsession.

 

Some wanted revenge, some wanted to resurrect their Families, and some wanted to turn back time and change the events of the past…

 

In the Spirit Empress’s opinion, Gu Changge was one of them. It was not strange for her to think that way. That was because Gu Changge had deliberately misled the public to think that way from the beginning.

 

The goal of the Heavenslayers Alliance was to slay Heaven. With such a goal, he was bound to face horrifying consequences and suffer boundless catastrophes.

 

Why would he willingly establish the Heavenslayers Alliance and slay Heaven for no reason?

 

Was it because he was attacked by the existences within the Source Realm when he roamed the Boundless Expanse as the Demon Lord, which caused him to perish under tragic circumstances?

 

Was that why he held a grudge?

 

Those reasons were not enough though.

 

That was because everything before the emergence of the Demon Lord was a complete blank, which no one except him knows about. For most that seek the answers to his reason, it was only natural to begin tracing back even further into his past…

 

After all, if a person existed, then they must had left behind traces and karmic consequences.

 

The reason Gu Changge had chosen to roam the Boundless Expanse as the Demon Lord was not simply to create a secondary account for his objectives.

 

At the end of the day, a secondary account, an entity that has existence, which appeared out of nowhere, was just a false identity meant for deception.

 

No matter how great and perfectly crafted the secondary account, the truth would be exposed one day.

 

Who was the Demon Lord? How did the Demon Lord come about?

 

Gu Changge had always liked to do things thoroughly and flawlessly. Regarding these questions, he had already made meticulous arrangements for these questions a long time ago.

 

…

 

Deep within the Wu Clan was a vast expanse of fog.

 

The land was covered in dense fog all year round. Hidden beneath the fog were various buildings, including palaces, lakes, the sea, and even trees that towered into the clouds.

 

Ordinary people who wandered into this place were bound to lose their way. Without an accurate bearing, they might never find the exit for the rest of their lives.

 

As the origins of their name suggested, the members of the Wu Clan were mist-like substances that formed into strange and mysterious life forms. However, their cultivation methods remained similar to many of the other Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

Choosing to abandon their physical body, they specialised in cultivating their Soul instead. Furthermore, they were proficient in mimicry. Their external appearances could be said to be ever-changing.

 

At this moment, many members of the Wu Clan were gathered together inside the most magnificent and ancient palace. They seemed to be performing some kind of ancient sacrificial ceremony.

 

An ancient sacrificial altar overflowing with divine light stood in the middle of the palace.

 

The altar was square in shape, seemingly formed from the amalgamation of various magnificent substances. There were vague but deafening sounds coming out of the ancient sacrificial altar, almost as though a hazy deity was sitting on the altar.

 

This respected deity seemed to be worshipped in every existing world and universe.

 

Light flowed from the altar, seemingly capable of penetrating the endless Spacetime to arrive at some vague place in the distance.

 

“A catastrophe is looming over the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. We pray to obtain the protection of the Primary Hope Civilisation. Otherwise, the Wu Clan will be struck by a horrible catastrophe and face the dangers of extinction. The Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan have undergone drastic changes and abandoned the Primary Hope Civilisation. I beseech the Supreme Deity to send your envoys and impose Divine Punishment upon them…”

 

The figures of the Wu Clan were kneeling reverently in the surroundings. Their mouths moved in prayer, fervently praying and reporting about the crises of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.
