The Juxian Manor was built in a grand and majestic manner, and it was hidden in the deep mountains and ancient forests.
There were many formation patterns set up in the surroundings and it was shrouded in fog. Even if one came here by accident, they might not be able to enter successfully.
Both Chu Lian and Mingxiu were astonished by the sight of the buildings.
The guests here all had extraordinary auras. When they opened and closed their eyes, there was a divine light. Their qi and blood were like a boiling furnace, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
The Spirit Emperor ordered someone to lead the way and led Chu Lian and Mingxiu in.
At the same time, she also arranged for the two of them to stay.
After doing all this, she smiled slightly and quickly disappeared into the various courtyards.
"Senior Brother, I didn't expect such a magical place to exist here. It seems like they're really recruiting all the talents in the world."
"I feel that everyone here has unfathomable strength."
Mingxiu's eyes were filled with amazement and curiosity as she sized up the place.
After arriving here, Chu Lian also relaxed and nodded to himself.
Not only were there strong men of foreign races with bare arms, there were also Daoists in Daoist robes with compasses in their hands, calculating something at all times.
If not for the Spirit Emperor leading the way, they might not have found such a place. It was truly too mysterious.
Furthermore, when they thought of the Spirit Emperor's words earlier on …
Her cousin, the mysterious Young Master Gu, had established this place a long time ago?
Didn't that mean that he had been considering whether to overthrow the rule of the Mystical Ruins Royal Family since a long time ago?
That idea was exactly the same as Chu Lian's.
However, Chu Lian's current strength and resources were not enough to support him in planning such things.
"This Young Master Gu, you really trust us by bringing us here."
"It seems like he really admires you, Cousin," Mingxiu said happily.
Chu Lian smiled and looked around, but he did not see anyone following them.
He shook his head. "You can't say that. This Young Master Gu is too mysterious and has many experts under him. Rather than saying that he trusts us, it's more accurate to say that he thinks that we won't be able to cause any trouble by bringing us here."
"Even if we reveal the secret of this place, he can definitely send people to kill us. It won't affect him or cause any losses."
When Mingxiu heard this, she immediately looked unhappy and said, "Senior Brother, how can you think of her like that? Along the way, I haven't seen anyone treat us well. "
Chu Lian knew that she would be angry if he said that, but this was reality.
Secretly plotting to overthrow the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family was a heinous crime that could easily lead to the execution of nine generations of the family.
If news of this were to spread and the royal family of the Mystical Ruins found out about it, even this mysterious Young Master Gu would be in trouble.
He didn't believe that Young Master Gu would completely trust him and his Junior Sister just based on a few words from Miss Huang.
However, he couldn't be too full of himself.
"I feel that Young Master Gu should be trying to recruit me. These capable people under him are not ordinary. Even I am unable to see through the strength of many of them."
After parting ways with Junior Martial Sister, they returned to their respective courtyards.
Chu Lian first carefully looked around, worried that he would be spied on. Only then did he return to the house and close the doors and windows.
At the same time, ancient banners less than the size of a palm were thrown out by him and landed in the surroundings.
The banners trembled and emitted a hazy glow that enveloped the surroundings.
The hazy aura spread and instantly turned the place into a blur. Even existences that were far stronger than him would not be able to spy on this place.
"The Eight Directional Cloud Rain Banners that I obtained from signing in through the Sphere of Noble Wishes can prevent others from spying on me with their spirit consciousnesses. Seems like it has its uses …"
Only then did Chu Lian heave a sigh of relief. His experiences since childhood made him very cautious.
Even though that mysterious Young Master Gu didn't have any ill intentions towards him along the way, he still had to be wary of others.
This was especially so because he couldn't forget what the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Noble Wishes told him in the Ghost Axe Clan's territory.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. This Young Master Gu's background is unknown and the black-robed old man beside him truly makes me uneasy. I have a feeling that he has been spying on me with ill intentions."
"Could the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Noble Wishes be the black-robed old man beside Young Master Gu that warned me?"
Chu Lian sat cross-legged on the bed as his expression changed.
The Sphere of Noble Wishes was his greatest reliance and secret. He couldn't let others know about it.
If that black-robed old man sensed all of this and reported it to Young Master Gu, would he still be able to keep the Sphere of Noble Wishes?
"Weapon Spirit …"
Thinking of this, Chu Lian began to summon the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Noble Wishes in his mind, intending to communicate with it and ask some questions.
However, the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Noble Wishes still didn't have the slightest reaction.
Ever since leaving the Ghost Axe Clan's territory, it seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber.
No matter how Chu Lian called, there was no response.
Until now, he had used the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Banners to conceal the heavenly secrets of this place.
However, the Weapon Spirit of the Sphere of Noble Wishes still didn't have the slightest reaction.
"Could it be that some problem has occurred and it has really fallen into a deep slumber?"
Chu Lian racked his brains, but other than waiting, he couldn't find the slightest solution.
On the other side, in a quiet and secluded courtyard.
In front of Gu Changge, the Spirit Emperor was telling him about the Virtuous Gathering Manor.
Naturally, the Virtuous Gathering Manor had nothing to do with Gu Changge. She was the one who secretly built it to recruit talents from all around the world.
Her purpose was to monitor the world and solve some problems that the Mystical Ruins Royal Family couldn't solve on the surface. It was her sharp blade in the dark.
As for why Gu Changge asked her to tell Chu Lian and the others that the Virtuous Gathering Manor was built to overthrow the rule of the Mystical Ruins Royal Family?
All of this was to push the boat along with the current.
After all, since Chu Lian wanted to be the savior of the world, saving the people from the abyss of suffering, Gu Changge was willing to help him.
Thus, Gu Changge would fulfill his wish and fulfill his dream.
Not only that, he could let Chu Lian accomplish all of this personally, to push the Mystical Ruins Royal Family down from their pedestal and establish his own dynasty, becoming the savior of the current era.
Gu Changge could help Chu Lian lead this great drama of changing the dynasty and saving the people.
After all, he wanted to have a good talk with Chu Lian about the treasure on him.
Thus, the best way was to show the necessary sincerity first. Once that was done, it would naturally be easier to negotiate terms and conditions. Then, it would be better for them to discuss openly.
In the Ghost Axe Clan's territory, Gu Changge already had a plan when he sensed that the treasure had a spirit.
He first restrained his aura and waited for the treasure's spirit to let down its guard before suddenly releasing his aura again.
Sure enough, in this way, it was completely shocked, and it hurriedly sealed off all connections and senses with the outside world and fell into a deathly silent state.
Therefore, it couldn't sense the many things that happened after that and didn't know that Gu Changge was the source of its fear.
"Then I'll do as you said, Young Master."
The Spirit Emperor didn't know what Gu Changge's motive was and only followed his instructions.
After she left, Gu Changge's gaze deepened and he waved his sleeve.
Ripples spread out in the space in front of him and turned into a calm surface of water that reflected what was happening on the other side like a mirror.
The terrifying army covered the sky and earth like locusts and flooded the Dao Chang True World.
An endless army rushed out of the ancient warship of the Immortal Spirit civilization, as if they would never dry up.
Beyond the Dao Chang True World, the World Dike shuddered. Runic symbols shone like a flood and turned into ancient words that continued changing and intersecting with each other.
Pillars of light shot out and shook the universe. They tore apart the laws and order, and a large amount of time fragments evaporated completely.
This was an incredibly devastating battle. Both sides were fighting against each other without a care for their own lives.
Corpses fell like rain into the endless darkness or turned into powder and blood on the spot.
In the depths of time and space further away were existences at the level of Immortal Emperors fighting. The ripples of power seemed to want to split the world apart and spread from one end of the long river of time to the other.
The entire river of time was illuminated. They stood in the depths of the fog, and their magical bodies had long since surpassed one hundred million feet.
At the instant the hand cut down, the Great Cosmoses were torn apart and exploded on the spot. A boundless amount of blood drowned out the Great Cosmoses around it.
The existences in Dao Realm had yet to join the battle. They were still observing, but a battle of this level was definitely rare to see.
Once the existences in Dao Realm fought, they could easily cause the endless space and time to fall into chaos. The Great Dao would return to nothingness, and countless worlds and universes would be destroyed in an instant.
There were plenty of figures standing tall on the ancient warship of the Immortal Spirit civilization. They were like ancient demonic shadows overlooking the Dao Chang True World, waiting for the right time to attack.
The presences of those figures were not any weaker than the Immortal Emperors fighting.
It was impossible for the battle to end within a short period of time. The Immortal Spirit civilization was still testing the waters, and the leaders of the various races in the Dao Chang True World were also watching.
Gu Changge watched the battle calmly. There was not a hint of emotion on his face.
However, when he noticed a battle beyond the World Dike, he frowned. "Nonsense."
A tall and slender figure moved through the army like an invincible female Sword Immortal.
Sword light moved through millions of lis and let out loud clanging sounds. Her sword moved the universe and tore apart her enemies.
A boundless sword aura surged and exploded. It was like a sun from the Dao of the Sword that illuminated the heavens. It was incredibly powerful.
Even existences with similar levels of cultivation found it difficult to withstand one of her slashes. They were beheaded, their Nascent Divinities disintegrated, and they exploded.
For a period of time, cries of excitement could be heard from various battlefields.
Beyond the Dao Chang True World, an even larger army surged towards the slender figure.
Even the demonic shadows standing tall on the ancient warship noticed her and cast their gazes over.
"With me around, no one will be able to take half a step into the Dao Chang True World."
Her voice was cold as she leaned against her sword. Her voice was ethereal and dazzling. It was not loud, but it spread through the entire battlefield.
"Kill!"
More soldiers surged towards her. Murderous aura surged into the sky and formed some sort of Rune. Its might was even more astonishing.
Due to her actions, the pressure on the other powerful warriors of the Dao Chang True World was greatly reduced. Gratitude and worry appeared on their faces.
Gu Changge watched the scene reflected in the mirror.
The expression on his calm face became even more solemn.
"Gu Xian 'er, you've never let me worry. Isn't it good to follow the path I've arranged for you and walk to the peak step by step?"
"Do you really want me to bind you to my side?" Gu Changge mumbled.
The figure stood tall in the universe. Her black hair and white dress were dyed in blood, but it did not affect her speed or the piercing killing intent at the center of her brows.
Her originally ethereal appearance had long since changed. She looked like a female Asura bathed in blood.
Her methods were also incredibly fierce. It was clear that she had been honed a lot in the battles over the years.
Gu Changge cast a glance at her. When he saw that she did not do anything too arrogant and that her strength was steadily increasing, he calmed down.
Gu Xian 'er might have always acted like a fool in front of him.
However, it did not mean that she was an idiot who would do something as risky as throwing an egg at a rock.
The battle might have been filled with life and death dangers, but it was a suitable training for her and could allow her to grow quickly.
Gu Changge understood Gu Xian 'er's personality very well, which was why he did not say anything else.
It was impossible for her to let the Immortal Spirit Civilization's army attack the Dao Chang True World without doing anything.
However, compared to the safe path he had arranged for her since a long time ago …
Gu Xian 'er would rather choose the path filled with thorns, danger, and the unknown.
Buzz!
Gu Changge swung his arm again and wiped away the scene before his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind. This girl always made him feel uneasy.
Gu Changge had not seen her for a long time, and he missed her a little.
However, at that moment, he only wanted to hold her down and beat her up through space and time.
'But by the looks of it, someone has stretched their hands into the Dao Chang True World. I won't allow anyone to touch my territory.'
Gu Changge returned to his senses. When he sensed the Dao Chang True World just now, he had coincidentally seen another Dao Realm existence.
He might have left a Dao law magical body in the Heaven Attacking Alliance's headquarters, but it was only to prevent accidents from happening and not be able to protect the people around him. He usually sat in the depths of endless space and did not interfere with anything.
If he had not sensed it just now, he would not have known that someone had stretched their hands into the Dao Chang True World.
Gu Changge wanted to know who had the guts to plot against the Dao Chang True World right under his nose.
'I'd like to see who is scheming against me.'
Gu Changge's eyes were profound. In an instant, he made millions of deductions in his heart. With his mind, he moved through endless space and time to search through every inch of space and corner.
When he made deductions from the past to the future, he had to find that strand of karma.
When that person was scheming against the Dao Chang True World, he had formed a karmic connection with him.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Gu Changge to make deductions about his existence.
It was especially so for some Dao Realm existences. They could escape all karma and not be tainted by any space-time connections.
