Chapter 519: An Unprecedented Phenomenon
Gu Heng guessed that this was the case.
Thousands of years ago, the righteous sects of the world united to launch the "War to Exterminate Evil" in order to completely annihilate the evil cultivator alliance!
However, at the critical moment, the Blood Soul Holy Sect chose to betray the evil cultivator alliance and thus saved their lives.
But this might have been a scheme by the evil cultivator alliance all along!
The fact that the Blood Soul Holy Sect managed to save the entire sect by betraying and stabbing them in the back is precisely why the original "War to Exterminate Evil" may have left behind some hidden dangers of incompleteness.
It stands to reason.
The Blood Soul Holy Sect's act of betrayal and defection should not be recognized or trusted. Perhaps in the original "War to Exterminate Evil," without the Blood Soul Holy Sect's betrayal, the losses on the "righteous" side would have been far more severe. Therefore, their betrayal was actually crucial, and it's probably why the Blood Soul Holy Sect was able to change its appearance and establish itself again...
but.
There's definitely something wrong with the Blood Soul Holy Sect.
The heretical cultivator alliance has now resurfaced and is coming on strong. Moreover, it is not the "righteous sects" that are besieging them, but they are taking the initiative to attack!
Everything we have now is the consequence of failing to eliminate the Blood Soul Holy Sect back then.
Or rather, ever since the Blood Soul Holy Sect's backstabbing during the "Battle to Exterminate Evil" achieved its desired effect, the "righteous faction" has suffered a complete defeat.
But what's the purpose?
What could possibly justify the evil cultivation alliance betraying humanity and allying with the demon race?
Gu Heng couldn't figure this out, not because he was unwilling to investigate, but because it concerned a system task, and he usually couldn't ignore the tasks given by the system.
If you ignore the task, you lose the benefits.
I really need those benefits.
That's why he had Old Man Lao and his old buddies do this somewhat tiring job for him.
But it will take time for them to find out what happened, and perhaps he will get the answer himself before then.
"...Is Young Master Gu troubled by matters outside?"
Yin Xueling asked questions as she drew.
"Ah, a little, but not much."
Gu Heng did not hide anything.
Of course he would be distressed. After all, the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and one day it will inevitably affect him.
Without the strength to protect yourself, how can you withstand it?
Although he now has Su Jinxi the cat and a white dragon pet whose strength he doesn't even know, he can only feel at ease if it is his own strength.
After all, the cat and the white cat might not be by his side, so what would he do then?
"I also want to leave this desolate city and go out to see the world."
Yin Xueling said, "It's so boring here."
Living in a deserted city for too long can feel too desolate. As a girl, she actually envied Gu Heng's female apprentice for being able to leave whenever she wanted.
"Ask your grandfather, he might agree someday."
He didn't want her to take any risks.
Yin Xueling immediately pouted. Yin Rufeng kept saying that it was dangerous outside, that she would be watched as soon as she went out, and that as a mere Golden Immortal Level 1, she would be nothing more than a sitting duck if she went out...
She's heard it so many times she's gotten tired of it.
“Then I also need to go out and gain experience to increase my strength, otherwise I’ll be like a frog in a well, confined to this place for the rest of my life,” Yin Xueling said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng frowned. "It's good that Miss Yin has such ambition, but your grandfather is right, it is a bit dangerous outside."
"Does Young Master Gu think so too?"
She was a little surprised.
"Hehe, although I have some skills, the world is so big, there must be many people more capable than me, right?"
Gu Heng waved his hand, not proud of his meager "Nascent Soul" strength. As for Yin Xueling...
He didn't think it was a good idea for a well-bred young lady who only knew how to paint to go out and make her way in the world.
She's not like my little girl, who has some kind of miraculous encounter that makes her a powerful cultivator overnight, capable of handling things independently without suffering any injustice.
If Yin Xueling really wants to venture out and encounter some ill-intentioned people, how does she plan to deal with them? Will she use her drawing skills to bring them down?
However, when it comes to painting skills...
Yin Xueling has also become quite capable, and her progress is quite rapid.
Since there was no tuition fee, Gu Heng wasn't generous enough to teach her everything he knew, and he wasn't particularly serious about teaching her either, but Yin Xueling's paintings were becoming more and more charming.
Although, catching up with him is still several somersaults away.
"Mr. Gu."
Coincidentally.
Old Master Yin Rufeng also came to visit.
Strangely enough, the old man has been coming quite frequently lately, saying he wants to see how his granddaughter is doing. Gu Heng, however, feels a little afraid that his granddaughter's painting skills might suddenly surpass his own.
So they come here under the guise of "supervision" to secretly learn a few tricks.
“Grandpa Yin, you can come whenever you want next time. Judging from your expression, it’s like you’re afraid your granddaughter will be more capable than you.”
Gu Heng rolled his eyes, and Yin Rufeng nodded and smiled apologetically, too embarrassed to lash out since his little scheme had been exposed.
in fact.
He sensed that his cultivation was beginning to weaken again.
He had just advanced to the first level of Immortal Lord, but after observing Gu Heng teaching Yin Xueling to paint several times, he felt that he would soon break through to the second level of Immortal Lord!
This speed is terrifying!
He had been stuck at the peak of the Yuan Immortal realm for a long time, and he couldn't even remember the time and effort it took to reach that peak.
Logically speaking, even if I were fortunate enough to break through to the Immortal Lord level, the speed at which I continue to break through should probably be even slower.
The result was that it got faster and faster. The reason was simple: it was all because of Gu Heng!
Although Yin Rufeng felt that doing so was somewhat beneath his dignity, he was too eager to advance his career.
Just now.
——Boom!
Suddenly, some strange movement came from the sky!
A clear sky was suddenly pierced by colorful lightning bolts that seemed to tear the entire firmament apart, accompanied by a continuous roar. But what followed the lightning was a nine-colored radiance!
"How is this going?"
Gu Heng's expression changed slightly. This sudden change in the weather was not a good sign.
Yin Xueling was also quite frightened. She quickly put down her pen and looked up at the sky.
Yin Rufeng was even more worried. He felt as if some force had forcibly opened a hole in the sky, and what was revealed from the other end was that mysterious and strange phenomenon!
If there's anything he's familiar with...
That was the extraordinary phenomenon of the nine-colored glow, which Yin Rufeng had only seen in the "Little Mysterious Heaven Realm"!
"Vision?"
"I've never seen anything like this before... What's going on?"
In Zhongzhou, Emperor Xuanyuan Wuji, who was sitting deep in the palace, and the civil and military officials who were discussing how to deal with the evil cultivator alliance, all left the main hall and came outside.
In the northern desert, the Great General of Zhenyuan Hall, who had just finished a battle, and countless members of Zhenyuan Hall looked up at the sky.
At the border between the Western Regions and the Northern Desert, at the Wanjian Immortal Sect, Jiang Lingyun, who was comprehending sword intent and recovering her Dao power, indifferently withdrew her sword domain, looked at the sky, and seemed to be deep in thought.
...for a time.
The entire Xuantian Realm witnessed the strange phenomenon in the sky.
No matter where they were or how high or low their cultivation level was, almost everyone could feel a power fluctuation that they could not resist descending upon the Xuan Tian Realm along with that strange phenomenon!
"All living beings of the Xuan Tian Realm".
"I am the Venerable One of the 'Immortal Realm,' the Head of the 'Thirteen Immortal Venerables,' and the Master of the Dragon Palace of the 'Minor Mystic Heaven Realm,' Gu Yun!"
"I beseech all beings to heed my words!"
