At the entrance of Peach Village, white fog surged, blurring everything.
The peach demon revealed her true form, her dress fluttering in the wind, her hair black, and her beauty unmatched.
"It's the same whether she sees me or not. If she wants to see me, she will come."
She was a little dazed, then she recovered and shook her head.
She had naturally heard of Chan Hongyi escaping from the Demon Burial Abyss, slaughtering everyone, and establishing the Demon Mountain.
However, she had always been lazy and had long been used to this small place like Peach Village. She did not even want to take half a step out of the Forsaken Immortal Land.
How many eras and years had passed since the Forbidden Era?
She had almost forgotten Peach Demon. She was once an old friend, but was she still the same person?
Moreover, Chan Hongyi should be able to sense her aura and understand that she had not fallen.
If she really wanted to see her, there were not many people in the Upper Realm who could stop her.
"Is that so?" Gu Changge raised his cup and drank, smiling faintly.
"She's busy taking revenge on me now, so she naturally has no time to look for you."
"What happened in the past? Why?"
Hearing this, the peach demon fell silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Changge and could not help but ask softly. In the end, she asked the question that had been in her heart.
This was something she had always been puzzled about.
For Chan Hongyi, Gu Changge was the person she respected and admired the most. He was both a teacher and a father.
Although Gu Changge was strict with her, she had never let her suffer any grievances.
The peach demon did not know why Chan Hongyi, who had once loved Gu Changge, would choose to turn her weapon on him in the end.
That battle was too terrifying after all.
Even with her realm back then, she was deeply frightened and as lowly as an ant.
The Heavenly Dao collapsed, the Myriad Tribulations descended, and even the long river of time collapsed and became chaotic. All the eras were destroyed, and the eternal Immortal Palace was destroyed.
Many eras were buried and destroyed. Later generations were terrified when talking about it, and could only call it a taboo.
"If I say I can't remember now, would you believe me?"
Hearing this question, Gu Changge did not seem surprised and asked with a smile.
"I believe you."
"If it was you back then, you wouldn't have spoken to me like that."
When the peach demon heard this, she also smiled gently. Her already peerless figure became even more extraordinary.
In the past, when she was still a little peach tree, she had talked to Gu Changge like this night.
It was just that at that time, he was like the lonely moon, the unfathomable wind, and she was just a tiny speck of dust that could only silently look up at him.
"It seems that something unimaginable must have happened in the end for this to happen."
The peach demon shook his head and sighed lightly, and he felt slightly regretful and emotional about this.
After she woke up, she had to pay a huge price to slowly regain her memory. If it wasn't for Yao Yao, she would probably still be in a hazy state.
Gu Changge was once an unspeakable and inconceivable existence. If he wanted to recover, the price would be even more unimaginable.
"The Upper Realm is about to be in chaos, and I will leave soon. Maybe the Immortal Region and the Upper Realm will merge, or maybe a greater opportunity will come …" Gu Changge took another sip of wine and said leisurely.
At first, he thought that the peach demon could sense something, even if it was some fragments of the future.
However, judging from her reaction now, she did not seem to want to care about the matters of the outside world, and did not even want to leave Peach Village.
"You didn't come to me just to catch up and talk about the past, right?"
How could the peach demon not understand Gu Changge's meaning? After a moment of silence, she asked.
Gu Changge smiled approvingly and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want you to do me a favor."
"What is it that you need my help with?"
The peach demon was somewhat interested in this, although her current cultivation had indeed surpassed the shackles of this world.
However, it did not mean that she could exert power beyond the immortal realm.
Gu Changge's current methods were definitely more terrifying than hers.
If even he could not solve the problem, how could she help?
"I want you to protect something for me. To be exact, I want you to protect an Ancient Realm," Gu Changge said slowly.
"An Ancient Realm?"
The peach demon was even more shocked when she heard that. With her current strength, she could even protect an imperishable sect or Supreme Sage orthodoxy, let alone an Ancient Realm.
Moreover, why would Gu Changge ask her to do that?
Was there anyone in this world who dared to go against him and attack the Ancient Realm that he wanted to protect?
Gu Changge was not surprised by the peach demon's reaction. He nodded and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think your identity is the most suitable."
In fact, he had been planning to scheme against the entire Upper Realm for a long time.
The thing that he wanted the peach demon to protect was none other than the Epoch Dao Fruit.
In terms of time, the Epoch Dao Fruit would ripen in a few days.
Gu Changge planned to use the Epoch Dao Fruit as bait to attract the strongest forces of various orthodoxies in the Upper Realm to help him take the final step.
The plan was not complicated, but he had to be careful about keeping it a secret from everyone.
Especially those old monsters who had cultivated for more than ten million years, or even those who had been hiding since a few epochs ago.
They were the strongest forces of various orthodoxies.
Although they could not achieve the Immortal Realm, they could still fight against an Immortal Realm cultivator.
In their own era, they were also stunning talents, unmatched throughout the ages, existences that no one could compare to.
Not only were they terrifyingly strong, but they were also extraordinarily intelligent.
They would notice anything that was not right, and they would even deduce the flaws.
Therefore, Gu Changge had to be careful in order to pass off the false as the truth.
Not only did he need to find an extremely ancient Ancient Realm, but he also needed to nurture the Epoch Dao Fruit in it so that he could spread the news and lure those big fish into the trap.
Among them, the peach demon's role was to reassure those peerless old freaks.
After all, how could the Epoch Dao Fruit not have a guardian?
The peach demon was a figure from the Taboo Era. The aura on her body represented unpredictability. Who could deduce her origins?
On the other hand, the Epoch Dao Fruit had disappeared in the Upper Realm for countless years.
The Upper Realm had been conquering the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions for many epochs because they thought the Epoch Dao Fruit was lost there.
Unfortunately, after conquering the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions, the imperishable orthodoxies and Supreme Factions of the Upper Realm had searched through the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions, but they could not find anything related to the Epoch Dao Fruit.
Now, there was a lot of news about the Immortal Path, including the news about the Epoch Dao Fruit.
Would those peerless old evildoers and the most powerful ancient existences in the Upper Realm still be able to sit still?
"I understand."
The peach demon remained silent. She did not ask Gu Changge why he was doing this.
Even if she did not agree, she knew Gu Changge would definitely have ways to make her agree.
Be it in the past or now, Gu Changge was not a soft-hearted person. He would not show any mercy on account of their past friendship.
"Don't worry, I'm just lending you a Dharma body. Of course, if you want to go with your real body, it's fine too," Gu Changge smiled casually.
He had not found a suitable Ancient Realm yet.
Therefore, he still had to make a trip to the Royal Court of Ultimate Yin to retrieve the Ultimate Yin Origin.
What happened after that was even simpler.
Gu Changge only needed to completely refine and merge the suitable Ancient Realm with the True Palm-sized World he had obtained from Hell, turning it into the Devil's Kingdom in his palm.
Even those who had achieved the Dao, or even the Broken Immortal, would fall into eternal oblivion once they set foot in it.
Were the orthodoxies in the Upper Realm not secretly plotting against him?
In that case, Gu Changge had prepared such a huge surprise for them in advance.
For the next few days, Gu Changge stayed in Peach Village. He would either bicker with Gu Xian 'er, take Yao Yao around, or chat with the peach demon at the entrance of the village about matters related to the Forbidden Era.
Gu Xian 'er's many masters were quite familiar with him. Sometimes, when they talked about some cultivation issues, they would even argue for a long time.
In some ways, Gu Changge's words made them feel as if the clouds had cleared and they deeply admired him.
At this moment, they no longer believed that Gu Changge would hurt Gu Xian 'er. Instead, they began to guess Gu Changge's true identity.
If he was really just a young person, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.
Which young person's understanding and control of Dao techniques would shock them, make them feel awe and respect him?
On the contrary, they believed that Gu Changge was the reincarnation of some unbelievably strong person.
His cultivation base at his peak was unpredictable and indescribable. He was the king of immortals, the emperor of immortals, and even the ancestor of immortals!
While Gu Changge stayed in Peach Village for a few days, the Upper Realm was also changing and undercurrents were surging.
News about Hell, Buddha Slaughter, and the recently rising Spring Breeze Jasper Tower quickly swept through the Upper Realm under the spreading of intentional people.
Every day, cultivators and living beings could be seen in various ancient cities discussing this matter, causing everyone to be anxious.
"Actually, Hell and Buddha Slaughter are in big trouble because they are blocking the rise of Spring Breeze Jasper Tower."
"Many people are saying that Young Master Changge is actually the master behind Spring Breeze Jasper Tower. He is secretly supporting this assassin organization … That's why he attacked Hell and Buddha Slaughter."
In the restaurant, many young Heavenly Prides gathered. Everyone was shrouded in divine light and had powerful auras.
They were also talking about this matter. They were all in high spirits and were very concerned about Gu Changge.
Judging from all the signs, Gu Changge definitely had a deep relationship with Spring Breeze Jasper Tower.
Therefore, there were also orthodoxies calling for everyone to find the headquarters of Spring Breeze Jasper Tower. Just like how they destroyed Hell, they should completely destroy it to get rid of future troubles. They did not want it to develop into a second Hell.
Of course, there were also cultivators and living beings who maintained a skeptical attitude.
If Gu Changge really wanted the Spring Breeze Azure Jade Pavilion to be the sole dominant force, then why didn't he continue to make a move on the other side of the Assassin Nation, Fu Tu?
Many people felt that Gu Changge must have some kind of unresolvable hatred with Hell.
However, under the intentional suppression of various orthodoxies, this kind of talk was very weak and did not cause much of a stir.
"Actually, this is just a small matter. Spring Breeze Jasper Tower only emerged in the last few thousand years. It's still too early for them to grow to be comparable to Hell …"
"Instead, there's another matter that is more important to me."
In the pavilion, a sky-pride shook his head and softly analyzed.
He was tall and had golden eyes with traces of the Cross Dao Maxim flowing around them. His aura was mysterious and did not seem like someone from this era.
The rest of the people were extremely respectful to him. They could not help but look at him in shock when they heard this.
"Brother Jin Yun, why do you say so?"
A sky-pride girl asked with a strange look in her eyes.
The man in front of her was an outlawed sky-pride from ancient times.
He had just broken out of the Celestial Source in this era and came from the imperishable sect Purple Cloud Valley. His strength was extremely terrifying and was comparable to Six Crown King Jun Yao, Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Golden Cicada Buddha, and the others. He was a giant among the younger generation except for Gu Changge.
Naturally, his words were more convincing.
"Actually, you've all overlooked a very important point. However, I believe that the forces behind you should have told you."
The outlawed sky-pride named Jin Yun raised his wine cup and gently shook his head.
A strange look flashed across his eyes as he recalled Purple Cloud Valley's instructions. He spoke unhurriedly.
Although he had not personally interacted with Gu Changge.
However, he had heard rumors about him almost every day. His ears were getting calluses from hearing so much.
He was proud and believed that he was invincible. He had waited until this era to be born.
In fact, it was also to train himself so that he could come into contact with the legendary Immortal Realm.
However, Gu Changge's existence made him doubt himself.
"Brother Jin Yun, are you referring to … Young Master Changge is actually the true inheritor of the Demonic Art …"
Hearing Jin Yun's words, the pavilion fell silent for a moment. Everyone's expression became unnatural.
In fact, they were not the only ones.
Now, there were rumors everywhere saying that Gu Changge was actually 0.2 of the true inheritor of the Demonic Art.
However, he hid it so well that he did not reveal any flaws.
Otherwise, how could he have reached such an unbelievable level at such a young age?
One should know that even ancient books would not dare to record it like this.
However, many of the sky-prides present were not stupid. They would not blindly follow the news. They also had their own thoughts.
In fact, from the perspective of the younger generation, they really could not see how Gu Changge was related to the inheritor of the Demonic Art.
On the contrary, it had always been Gu Changge who was fighting against the mysterious inheritor of the Demonic Art, saving many sky-prides from this disaster.
"Actually, this is inevitable."
"The tables have turned."
"This doesn't require any evidence. It's nothing more than a pretext. Young Master Changge has grown to the point where everyone is afraid of him …"
"The Upper Realm needs such a reason to attack him."
There was a moment of silence in the pavilion. Some of the more straightforward young sky-prides sighed with emotion in their eyes.
Jin Yun shook his head disapprovingly and did not say anything else.
He was just following Purple Cloud Valley's instructions and conveying this message.
Everyone fell silent once more. Although they felt a little sad for the loss of their kind, they still felt relieved in their hearts.
The pressure that Gu Changge brought to everyone was too terrifying. It was almost suffocating.
"If Young Master Changge falls, it's actually a blessing for us."
"Come, come, come, let's drink. This matter has nothing to do with us. We're not qualified to be involved."
Then, a sky-pride broke the silence. He smiled bitterly and began to ask everyone to drink, not wanting to think too much.
