Ye Suyi's mind was in a daze. Although she knew that Gu Changge was immensely powerful, unfathomable, and of unimaginable origins,
she had never dared to imagine that something like this would happen right before her eyes.
It was simply too fantastical.
Gu Changge did not explain anything. After waiting for a while longer, a figure clad in a black robe finally arrived from a distant time and space. It was none other than the White Bone Ancestor King.
"Apologies for keeping you waiting, Young Master."
The White Bone Ancestor King cupped his hands in greeting, his peripheral glance at Jing Tianyun filled with shock.
It had only been a short time since they last met, yet Gu Changge had already gained another unfathomable existence by his side.
Even an ordinary Ancestral Dao Realm expert might not be a match for this seemingly elegant and elderly yet somewhat eerie old man.
"No matter. How are things progressing?"
Gu Changge nodded slightly and asked casually.
"The various clans of the Immortal Spirit Civilization have already followed your instructions and are waiting in the Vast Expanse.
Hun Guangjun, Zhuo Fengxie, and the others have also secretly crossed over into the Prime-Origin Civilization. In addition, the civilizations subdued by the Heaven-Slaying Alliance during this time have also gathered considerable forces, including many Dao Realm experts."
The White Bone Ancestor King respectfully reported on the recent developments.
Gu Changge listened and nodded slightly in satisfaction, then waved his sleeve and said, "Let's go."
Ye Suyi had met the White Bone Ancestor King before. Back in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain, it was the White Bone Ancestor King who had accompanied Gu Changge.
But what did the names and civilizations he mentioned just now mean?
She was confused but understood that this was not something she should ask about.
A spatial tunnel pierced through the heavens and earth, spanning multiple universes, and they left this region directly.
"Aren't you curious about where I'm taking you?"
As Gu Changge stepped into the tunnel, he asked Ye Suyi, who was following behind him.
"I don't know."
Ye Suyi shook her head honestly, then asked in confusion, "Did Young Master specifically bring me along?"
She had thought that Gu Changge had simply taken her along as an afterthought.
"Of course."
Gu Changge smiled faintly.
Ye Suyi grew even more curious. What kind of place would require her to be specifically brought along?
Could it be...?
She suddenly thought of something, her beautiful eyes widening in shock.
Vast mountain ranges, like soaring true dragons, stretched across this region, piercing through boundless universes.
All the divine mountains and ancient peaks seemed to float in the void, with endless seas of clouds below, misty and vast, as if they were situated above the Nine Heavens.
Within each mountain range, grand and magnificent palaces and pavilions were constructed.
With flying eaves and towering spires, they resembled celestial palaces and divine halls, their structures extending deep into the heavens, shrouded in vast purple mist.
White cranes spread their wings, and green phoenixes soared. Various ancient mythical birds with divine bloodlines flew back and forth.
This was the territory of Purple Mist Mountain, one of the most powerful forces in the Prime-Origin Civilization. Of course, what was visible was merely the surface. The true Purple Mist Mountain lay deep within this wondrous realm, residing in an inner universe, invisible to outsiders.
Ye Suyi once again arrived at the gates of Purple Mist Mountain, looking at the grand pillars that resembled the mythical Southern Heavenly Gate, her expression incredibly complex.
Although she had not been driven out, Purple Mist Mountain was definitely the last place she wanted to return to.
Back then, in order to meet her father, she had waited outside the gates of Purple Mist Mountain for several years before finally moving the gatekeepers to deliver her message.
Otherwise, she would have grown old and died outside Purple Mist Mountain without ever seeing her father.
But now, standing once again before the gates of Purple Mist Mountain, her emotions were strikingly different, unusually calm.
Especially since Gu Changge was standing beside her.
"Quite impressive. Compared to the gates of the Imperial Immortal Palace, this is indeed more majestic."
Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the massive cyan stone stele, as large as a mountain range, crafted from unknown immortal materials and exuding chaotic energy. He let out a light chuckle.
Jing Tianyun and the White Bone Ancestor King stood respectfully by his side, silent.
"Of course. Purple Mist Mountain is one of the most powerful forces in the Prime-Origin Civilization today. Although the Imperial Immortal Palace is equally ancient, it pales in comparison to Purple Mist Mountain."
At this moment, hearing Gu Changge's seemingly admiring words, a creature with a turtle shell on its back couldn't help but smirk, as if it held some kind of fanatical admiration for Purple Mist Mountain.
"Oh, is that so?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Gu Changge's lips.
What he really wanted to know was why Ye Suyi practiced the Bridal Robe Immortal Technique.
From her, he had learned that it was related to her cousin.
But how had her cousin obtained the Bridal Robe Immortal Technique?
Gu Changge had only passed the Bridal Robe Immortal Technique to Chan Hongyi, and Chan Hongyi was still within the river of time in the Dao Prosperity True World.
How had she allowed the Bridal Robe Immortal Technique to spread to Purple Mist Mountain?
Was it really related to her?
He had come here to confirm two things.
Outside the gates of Purple Mist Mountain, countless cultivators and beings came and went every day, many hoping to join the sect or be noticed by its disciples, becoming followers or servants.
The gatekeepers had long grown accustomed to such sights.
Meanwhile, in another region, a major event was also unfolding.
During this time, many ancient warships, domain-crossing vessels, and inter-realm shuttles had arrived from beyond the Prime-Origin Civilization, descending into the territory of the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
The war between the Demon Court and the Immortal Chu Dynasty continued unabated, with no signs of a truce.
However, the 130th birthday of Chu Gucheng, the ruler of the Immortal Chu Dynasty, was approaching. Many orthodox forces from the Vast Expanse, having received invitations, rushed over as soon as possible.
Among them were powerful experts from the Dawn True World, the Ancient Treasure Civilization, the Calamitous Yin True World, the Endless Yang True World, and many other supreme civilizations, as well as ancient beings who roamed the Vast Expanse.
Over the past few months, Chu Wang City of the Immortal Chu Dynasty had been bustling with activity. Every day, powerful figures from all sides arrived, calling out to friends and filling the air with lively chatter.
In addition to ancient cultivators from the Vast Expanse, many forces and orthodoxies from the Prime-Origin Civilization also sent important figures to personally congratulate Chu Gucheng on his birthday.
The Immortal Chu Dynasty placed great importance on Chu Gucheng's grand birthday celebration, inviting guests from all sides and setting aside large areas of Chu Wang City to host distinguished visitors.
From a distance, divine mountains and ancient peaks stood tall, with lakes and rivers dotting the landscape. Immortal light shimmered, and mist swirled, with divine radiance rising like steam.
Immortal mountains and islands formed clusters, scattered like stars across the land. Vast silver waterfalls, like celestial rivers, cascaded from the heavens, splashing chaotic energy as they flowed through the surroundings.
Even before the banquet began, rare treasures of heaven and earth manifested, their divine light soaring into the sky, overshadowing the sun and moon, showcasing the ancient heritage.
The guests were all extraordinary, riding on qilin beasts with majestic horns and scales, their robes adorned with chains of order, exuding an aura of the grand dao with every movement.
Many of the guests even required Chu Gucheng to personally receive them.
