Chapter 1541: The ultimate defense and attack, were created by one person

“With Junior Sister Jing Xiao’s talent and hard work, I believe you will defeat Ling Yuxian sooner or later,” Gu Changge said with a comforting smile. After Jing Xiao finished speaking, she felt much more at ease.

Curiously, she added, “Brother Gu’s strength is also unfathomable, but I wonder what would happen if you fought Ling Yuxian.” After all, Ling Yuxian was currently the most recognized figure in Yu Xian Palace and well-known throughout the Xi Yuan civilization. In contrast, Gu Changge had maintained a low profile; basically, no one had heard of him, and no one had seen him fight.

“Ling Yuxian is recognized as the number one person of her generation, so I might not be her opponent,” Gu Changge replied with a smile, choosing not to dwell on the subject further.

Seeing his modesty, Jing Xiao couldn’t believe it. To her, Gu Changge’s depth seemed even more intimidating than Ling Yuxian’s; it was a gut feeling.

For Gu Changge, he had already gleaned much of what he wanted to know. Jing Xiao was simpler than he had imagined. Before coming to Yu Xian Palace to cultivate, she had never experienced much and had a straightforward mindset.

However, he wondered about the relationship between Jing Guo, her family, and Yu Xian Palace. If it truly was the family left behind by the patriarch who established Yu Xian Palace long ago, how did Ling Qiu learn that the patriarch was coming back?

Ling Yuxian and Jing Guo, who was behind Jing Xiao, clearly didn’t have much of a connection; she had only been fostered by Ling Qiuchang within Jing Guo in the past. The current situation suggested that Ling Yuxian had informed Ling Qiuchang about the patriarch’s impending return.

Ling Yuxian’s identity was the most enigmatic. According to Yu Xian Palace records, the patriarch’s surname was Jing, indicating that he should be an ancestor of Jing Guo. However, Ling Yuxian evidently had a deep connection to Yu Xian Palace. Could it be that the records of Yu Xian Palace were incorrect? Was the real patriarch someone else entirely?

Gu Changge wasn’t particularly interested in these matters. To him, it seemed a waste of time to speculate about minor details that could be clarified with a bit of deduction. However, since he was now involved, the associated karma and fate became blurred and confusing, making it challenging to deduce and capture the truth. This required more of his effort.

Reflecting on this, Gu Changge suddenly had an epiphany. Perhaps he had chosen the wrong target from the beginning; Yu Xian Palace might not have been established by a single individual. Moreover, the seal of Liuhe Tianyuan was certainly not the work of the patriarch of Yu Xian Palace alone. If he wished to locate Liuhe Tianyuan with the help of Yu Xian Palace’s ancestor, he first needed to find Ancestor Jing Guo.

As for why the patriarch of Yu Xian Palace was trapped, Gu Changge had also deduced some insights into that matter.

However, the patriarch of Yu Xian Palace obviously possessed remarkable means, or perhaps the place where he was trapped was quite peculiar. All the causal auras had been suppressed, making it difficult for Gu Changge to uncover anything in a short amount of time. Furthermore, it was possible that the patriarch had managed the sealing of Liuhe Tianyuan at the outset, effectively concealing his own existence in the process. This realization made Gu Changge certain that the matter was intricately linked to the contingency he had left behind.

Liuhe Tianyuan was an armor that accompanied the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd. When Gu Changge created it, he had forged these two artifacts as a precaution, surpassing the extremes of all worlds and representing the ultimate in both defense and attack. The predecessor of the Demon Lord, as the leader of the Heavenly Organization, was also the master of the source of the Black Disaster. After the Heavenly Organization was destroyed, Liuhe Tianyuan remained indestructible; no one could obliterate it. The only way to neutralize it was through a sealing process akin to that which befell the master of the source of the Black Disaster.

The master of the source of the Black Disaster was, in fact, another identity of Gu Changge himself. He had been sealed in the so-called source of darkness after the destruction of the Heavenly Organization, but this was merely part of the power he had left behind. He was determined to reclaim it.

The sealed location of Liuhe Tianyuan was not in the source of darkness but buried within the boundless void, fluctuating and shifting with the fabric of time and space. Even Gu Changge found it challenging to ascertain its true location easily; he needed to deduce the relevant causes and effects before he could pinpoint it definitively. This was one of the primary reasons he had come to Yu Xian Palace.

As for the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd, he had chosen not to seal it like Liuhe Tianyuan. Instead, he allowed it to wander the world in a different manner.

Later, when Gu Changge walked the boundless world as a demon lord, the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd became his signature weapon. People recognized him by the halberd, but that was all. These various schemes had been laid out by Gu Changge long ago, crafted to obscure the truth and facilitate his plans seamlessly.

In the following days, Gu Changge chose not to waste more time on Jing Xiao and instead focused his attention on Ling Yuxian. Simultaneously, he instructed Bone Ancestor to return to the immortal civilization, directing Hun Yuanjun, Zhuo Fengxie, and others to gather all their strength in preparation for the fourth tribulation.

Xian Chu was currently preoccupied with the demon court and had no time to consider the numerous changes in the immortal civilization. Gu Changge intended to allow some powerful individuals in the true realm to smuggle themselves into Xi Yuan Civilization; for now, he simply needed more manpower.

During this period, Ling Qiuchang, the lord of Yu Xian Palace, unexpectedly sought out Gu Changge. He speculated that either Ling Qiuchang or Ling Yuxian might have begun to suspect his identity, but he didn’t care and went there as promised.

As expected, in the meeting hall that day, Gu Changge encountered Ling Yuxian. She was still the same woman, adorned in a soft armor battle skirt and a crimson cloak. Her exquisite eyebrows and bright eyes drew attention, her skin as white as porcelain, radiating a frosty elegance. Her hair was tied back with a jet-black headband, exposing a delicate and slender neckline.

Her waist was accentuated, and her legs were extraordinarily slender and straight, giving her a heroic appearance. She had shed the cold and indifferent demeanor from their previous encounter; now, a vast light seemed to shine in her slightly deeper eyes as she stared at him several times.

Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged; he knew that Ling Yuxian was employing methods to detect any abnormalities in him. Meanwhile, Ling Qiuchang, the palace lord, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes equally deep, as if he were closely monitoring Gu Changge’s demeanor and aura.

“I wonder why Palace Master has summoned the disciple?” Gu Changge asked with a faint smile.

If possible, he would have liked to explore Ling Yuxian’s sea of consciousness. He sensed that her identity likely transcended the expectations of Yu Xian Palace; she seemed less like the heir of an important figure and more akin to the reincarnation of an ancient existence, awakening past memories in this world.

Almost no one in Yu Xian Palace could stop him, but Gu Changge had other considerations. With the birthday celebration of Chu Gucheng in Xian Chu approaching, he realized that with his current status, he could easily drop by Xian Chu at that time. If he were to directly attack Ling Yuxian, it might alarm her and lead to unnecessary complications.

Thus, he decided to avoid causing any disturbances for the time being. His priority was to reclaim Liuhe Tianyuan first.
