In the depths of the wasteland, there were mountains, lakes, and rivers like jade. White fog and colorful clouds intertwined, creating a dense fog.
This tribe was not very big, with less than a hundred households. It was surrounded by fences, as if it was aloof from worldly affairs.
When Xiao Yang and the others arrived, many children ran out and looked at them curiously, as if they were not afraid of strangers.
He looked different from the ordinary people in the tribe.
This made Xiao Yang even more certain that the Great Mountain Master was cultivating here.
The children here all had a kind of spirituality, clearly because they had been nourished by Spirit Qi for a long time.
Moreover, this place was not attacked by ferocious beasts. It was very likely that there was a mysterious power guarding this place.
Then, they walked towards the women who were washing their clothes by the stream, wanting to ask about the Great Mountain Master.
Xiao Yang and the others did not know what kind of identity the Great Mountain Master had in this tribe.
However, they believed that as long as they asked around, they should be able to find out.
There was no reason for the Great Mountain Master to avoid them.
"The most senior person in the tribe?"
The women looked at each other, not knowing why Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and this group of outsiders suddenly came to ask about this.
Wasn't the Old Clan Leader the most senior person in the tribe?
Facing this group of powerful cultivators, they did not dare to offend them, so they quickly answered.
"The most senior person in the tribe is the Old Clan Leader."
Hearing this, Xiao Yang and the others nodded, then said happily, "You don't have to worry, we have no ill intentions. We're here to find someone."
"Where is your Old Clan Leader now?" he asked hurriedly.
"The Old Clan Leader passed away a few days ago. If you want to find him, you're too late."
A more muscular middle-aged man walked over and stared at them warily.
"Passed away?" Xiao Yang and the others were stunned, not daring to believe it.
How could someone like the Great Mountain Master pass away so easily? There must be a mistake somewhere.
But wasn't the jade pendant in his hand still glowing?
"The Great Mountain Master should be someone else who is related to this tribe."
Gu Wudi glanced at the tribe in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xiao Yang was also stunned. Then, he reacted. The Great Mountain Chieftain should be related to this tribe.
"If you want to find the oldest person, you should go to the mountain behind us. There is a sage-like old man there. Some of our tribe members are sick, so we often go to him."
At this time, another old man walked over, holding a walking stick, and said with a trembling voice.
However, when he mentioned the mountain behind him, his expression was full of respect.
"But you have to be careful. There are ferocious beasts guarding the door on that mountain. If you are not sincere, they will tear it apart." The old man reminded again.
Hearing this, Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and the others turned solemn. They couldn't help but look towards the distant mountain shrouded in clouds.
That should be where the Mountain Lord truly lived in seclusion.
…
At the same time, in the White Bone Region.
It was boundlessly vast, and the territory was boundless. As far as the eye could see, it was all dried up and deathly still land, and numerous terrifying rifts had split open.
Here, one could see a vast and mighty gray fog, just like its name.
Many white bones were hidden underground, and some mountains were even made of white bones.
The bones were white, and it was a deathly gray without waves. It was as if countless lives had fallen here.
The creatures here were filled with murderous intent. Any creature who dared to step into this place would be attacked by them.
In the sky, two figures quickly descended. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles.
"The White Bone Region is indeed desolate. There is a clear difference between it and the other regions."
Gu Changge and Ah Da landed on a mountain of white bones here.
Looking around with interest, Gu Changge felt that the aura of the laws here was very different from that of the other regions.
From this, it could be seen that the Bone Clan's Ancestor's strength was unfathomable. He had already affected the laws of this world.
"Master, are you looking for the strongest person here?" Ah Da asked respectfully.
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the fog.
"Maybe I don't need to look for him."
The two of them went all the way into the depths of the White Bone Region. Their auras were very terrifying.
Therefore, even if there were some creatures living in the White Bone Region here, they did not dare to show themselves. Their bodies and souls could not help but tremble.
This was the power of a true strongest, even if they did not do anything.
Just by standing there, he could make the nearby living beings prostrate and kowtow to him with just his physical body alone.
"How long has it been since someone stepped into our territory?"
"Could it be that the experts from other regions have come to ask for help from our Bone Clan's Ancestor?"
Some gray fog lingered in the mountain peaks where white bones were piled up.
Many members of the Bone Clan appeared. When they sensed the terrifying fluctuations in the distance, their faces could not help but turn solemn.
Then, secret letters were sent back to the deepest part of the clan through a special method.
In a place where the aura was extremely terrifying, but the world was dark.
A pair of cold and emotionless eyes opened, causing the pressure in this place to become violent. The surrounding creatures could not help but kneel in that direction.
"Is it finally here?"
He murmured. His words contained unimaginable vicissitudes and some relief.
Then, the fog here surged, accompanied by a terrifying brilliance. It was like black lightning striking down, dividing the chaos.
A stooped figure walked out. He was wearing a gray robe. Under his sunken eye sockets, there was a faint blue flame burning.
In terms of appearance, Bone Ancestor looked more like a skeleton. There was no flesh on his body.
However, this skeleton contained an unimaginably terrifying aura. It flickered with a luster like black jade, and there were some supreme patterns on it.
With a wave of his robe, the void in front of him suddenly collapsed, forming a passage. With a step, he appeared in front of Gu Changge.
"Bone Ancestor greets Young Master."
The old man said respectfully. A faintly discernible aura appeared on his body.
Gu Changge raised his eyes and looked at the gray-robed old man who appeared out of thin air.
The moment the fluctuations came from this place, he guessed the other party's identity.
"Bone Clan's Ancestor?"
Gu Changge sized up the other party.
From the fluctuations of this aura, he was many times stronger than ordinary Dao Attainments. However, he was still far from the Immortal Dao Domain.
However, he was worthy of being a supreme existence who had occupied the White Bone Region for so many years.
This made him quite satisfied.
"That's me."
"I've been waiting for Young Master here for a long time."
Bone Ancestor said. At the same time, he was also sizing up Gu Changge.
This was the first time he saw the rumored Young Master Gu. He could only say that he lived up to his reputation. He even felt a sense of danger.
"Oh, you've been waiting for me for a long time? Did you know that I would come looking for you? "Gu Changge's expression did not change. He smiled faintly.
Bone Ancestor nodded. "I heard that Young Master fought many Dao Attainments outside the Empyrean Abyss. I guessed that you would come to the Eight Desolates Ten Regions in the near future."
"However, I didn't expect you to come so quickly. I was preparing to offer the heads of the entire Guardian Clan. There are also traces of the few fish that escaped the net back then. "
He was not lying. When he heard the news outside the Empyrean Abyss, he guessed that Gu Changge would definitely come to the White Bone Region when the time came.
After all, the entire Bone Clan was a hidden weapon planted by the Longevity Gu Clan in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions.
There was no reason why Gu Changge would not use it.
The Longevity Gu Clan was once the main clan of Bone Ancestor. He knew how terrifying it was. The foundation that was revealed in the Upper Realm was only the tip of the iceberg.
It was even more about the strength hidden in the Upper Realm.
That was why he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to return to the Upper Realm.
"Very good. I can see that you are a smart person." Hearing this, Gu Changge nodded with satisfaction.
A smile also appeared on Bone Ancestor's face. "You flatter me, Young Master. I'm just doing what I should do."
"Don't worry. My clan will naturally agree to what I promised your clan."
A faint smile appeared on Gu Changge's face.
"I have never doubted the words of the Main Clan," Bone Ancestor replied respectfully.
He knew how powerful and terrifying the Longevity Gu Clan was. If it were not for the Bone Clan and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions, he would not be able to talk to the Longevity Gu Clan in this lifetime.
How could the Longevity Gu Clan go back on their word?
Then, Bone Ancestor appeared and gathered all the high-ranking members of the Bone Clan, ready to announce a major event.
The White Bone Palace was the place where the Bone Clan Patriarch usually discussed important matters.
However, now that Bone Ancestor had awakened, he gathered many high-ranking members.
Even the Bone Clan Patriarch stood respectfully behind him. In terms of seniority, there were too many existences in the palace who were older than him.
The palace was shrouded in chaotic fog, with large stars bobbing up and down, like a vast universe.
Many Bone Clan members had solemn expressions, thinking that something big was about to happen because the number of times Bone Ancestor had awakened over the years was very limited.
The last time it was revived was 50 million years ago.
Even when the Upper Realm invaded, they did not see Bone Ancestor awaken.
"It seems that the Upper Realm's invasion this time has caused Bone Ancestor to awaken. We have to prepare in advance …"
"The situation is not good. The other clans in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions, such as the cultivators of the Cloud Pool Region and the Chiliao Region, are all looking for opportunities to evacuate to other places."
"Could it be that Bone Ancestor has awakened to talk about this matter?"
Many people stood in the palace, both men and women. They were very old, and their auras were surging and vast.
At this moment, they could not help but guess in their hearts.
"Where's Ni Shang? Why don't I see her? "
A very ancient existence of the Bone Race glanced at the people in the hall and asked in a strange tone.
"I heard that Ni Shang went to visit Bone Ancestor some time ago and was arranged to do something."
Another ancient existence replied, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
From the outside, they were not much different from humans, but what they showed was not their true form.
Ni Shang was a peerless genius of the Bone Clan who had achieved Dao eighty million years ago.
The clan had entrusted her with important tasks many times, and even the current Patriarch had been taught by her.
"I see." Many of the Bone Clan members nodded in understanding.
Just as they were guessing and discussing, the sound of footsteps came from outside the palace.
Feeling the aura of Bone Ancestor, the people in the palace turned around and were about to bow respectfully. However, when they saw the figure walking in, their expressions froze, and their pupils constricted.
Some of the clansmen even widened their eyes in disbelief. They wondered if they had seen wrongly.
"It's … it's him!"
"Gu Changge!!"
"Why is he here … Has the Upper Realm already killed his way here?"
Someone's voice trembled slightly as he recognized the young man who walked in.
It was obvious that he had been to Sky Deer City and had seen Gu Changge's true appearance in the battle between the Eight Desolates Ten Regions and the Upper Realm.
He had a deep impression of Gu Changge, so he recognized Gu Changge immediately.
They were even more confused as to why the Bone Ancestor would follow Gu Changge and even stay half a step behind her.
At this moment, all the clansmen of the Bone Clan were tense. Terrifying auras intertwined and filled the palace, and they were very wary and vigilant.
"Young Master, please!"
However, Gu Changge and Bone Ancestor did not care about the expressions of the people in the palace.
Bone Ancestor's eyes were dignified as he glanced at all the clansmen, indicating that they should not be presumptuous. Only then did he lead the way and lead Gu Changge to the main seat.
This scene stunned the clansmen of the Bone Clan. For a moment, they could not understand what was happening.
Why was Bone Ancestor so respectful to Gu Changge?
As the leader of the Upper Realm, Gu Changge stood on the opposite side of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions. The number of creatures from the Eight Desolates Ten Regions that died directly or indirectly at his hands was uncountable.
Gu Changge nodded slightly and naturally sat at the head of the table. She glanced at everyone below with interest.
Bone Ancestor stood beside him. At this moment, he knew what everyone in the palace was thinking, but he did not blame them.
Because he had only told a few people about the origin of the Bone Clan, it was normal that they did not know.
"Bone Ancestor, what is going on?"
Some of the ancient existences asked with a trembling voice, unable to understand what was happening today.
Could it be that the Bone Clan was also planning to surrender to the Upper Realm?
"In fact, I have called you all here today to explain this matter. It is related to the origin of my clan."
"In fact, my clan was a subordinate clan of the Immortal Gu Clan in the Upper Realm. Because we made a mistake, we were banished to the Desolate World. Today, the main clan has given us a chance to return to the Upper Realm and return to our homeland."
Bone Ancestor's face was dignified, and his words were cold. The moment it spread, it was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. It was hard to imagine.
"What?"
"So this is the origin of my clan …"
This was too unbelievable. Before this, they did not dare to imagine it at all.
The Bone Clan had such a origin. They did not doubt Bone Ancestor's words.
Because Bone Ancestor was the leader of the Bone Clan, it could be said that he was the ancestor of everyone. His words naturally represented indescribable trust.
In this way, it also explained why Bone Ancestor had such a respectful attitude towards Gu Changge.
Soon, the hall quieted down. Once they accepted this fact, their attitude towards Gu Changge changed a lot.
Faintly, they even felt that this time the Upper Realm's conquest of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions had little to do with them.
As long as they clung to the Immortal Gu Clan and Gu Changge's thighs, what was there to care about the so-called invasion of the Upper Realm?
Moreover, they were originally from the Upper Realm, and their homeland was in the Upper Realm.
On the contrary, all these years, they had been lying in wait in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions as a hidden chess piece, and they felt that they had to endure humiliation to carry out an important mission.
"Now that the Young Master has come to our clan, it is a good opportunity for our clan to perform. You must seize this opportunity."
"If we can get the Young Master's appreciation, when we return to the Upper Realm, won't it be easy for us to achieve great success?"
Bone Ancestor was very satisfied with the reaction of his clansmen.
After saying these words, he began to give out orders for the Guardian Bloodline.
Apart from that, Bone Ancestor did not just simply occupy the White Bone Region in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions.
Some spies and arrangements could play a big role at this moment.
With this reason, it was much more convenient for the Immortal Gu Clan to conquer the other major regions.
However, after Gu Changge left, he had already handed the matter of conquering the other major regions to the rest of his clansmen.
"According to the message sent by my clansman, Ni 4.9 Shang, the fish that escaped from the Guardians are now in the Western Victory Region."
"More than twenty years ago, I sent Ni Shang to destroy the Guardians, but many of them still managed to escape."
"Some time ago, I had a feeling and speculated that the Guardians seemed to be affected by some kind of power and almost suffered a backlash."
After that, Bone Ancestor dismissed his clansmen, his expression was slightly solemn as he told Gu Changge another matter.
During this time, he speculated again, but it was still the same as before. There was no result, and he almost suffered a backlash.
Therefore, he guessed that there might be another powerful force beside the surviving clansmen of the Guardians.
However, he still could not figure out what this force was.
"Some kind of force?" Gu Changge raised his eyebrows.
As far as he knew, other than Xiao Yang, no one else from the Guardians had shown up yet.
As for Xiao Yang's backer, the Second Mountain Master of the Nine Great Mountains, he was still imprisoned by him.
According to the news from Gu Wudi, Xiao Yang and the others had not found where the Mountain Master was.
This meant that the power that the Bone Ancestor had deduced most likely came from another Guardian bloodline.
"Yes, that force is very obscure. However, if it was at its peak, it should be much stronger than me." Bone Ancestor nodded, his gaze serious.
"Could it be Xiao Yang's clansmen? In the Western Victory Region? "
Gu Changge's interest was piqued. If his premonition was correct, this was probably related to the Son of Destiny again.
Now, there were two Children of Fate in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions. One was Lin Wu, and the other was Xiao Yang.
Zhao Yunze, who was killed by him, was at most a person with great luck. He was not a Child of Fate at all.
"In the Western Victory Region, Ni Shang is already investigating. Now, we have a lot of clues."
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Bone Ancestor asked respectfully.
The Western Victory Region was one of the top regions among the Eight Regions. Its territory was boundless, and there were many ancient clans.
