Chapter 215: A List of Potential Targets Prepared by Mingkong.

After getting his hands on Ancestral Order, things became easier for Gu Changge.

Yan Ji was pretending to be Jiang Chuchu of the Human Ancestral Hall and started roaming around the world. This way, Gu Changge could also take this opportunity and publicise his achievement against the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.

After this, there’ll be no more fools jumping for death, doubting him.

On the other hand, the first descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall – Wang Zijin – never even thought of doubting Gu Changge as the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.

At that time, under the preaching of the two great descendants of the Human Ancestral Hall, Gu Changge would be able to steadily develop and become stronger for a while.

The descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall speaking in his favour; what does this mean?

It meant authority!

As the force fighting against the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts from the ancient period, no one could know about the Demonic Inheritor more than the Human Ancestral Hall.

As long as Yan Ji doesn’t encounter the older generations or old monsters who knew Jiang Chuchu well, it’d be impossible to find any anomaly.

Jiang Chuchu was trapped in the Inner World by Gu Changge, so there was no need to care about her.

Unless she suddenly had a burst of some Forbidden powers, it was impossible for her to break the shackles of the world and get out.

Therefore, there was no need for Gu Changge to care about his title as the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts for a while, and he could concentrate on dealing with the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor.

“After leaving seclusion, Prince Ying Shuang, who is currently carrying the black pot, will find it difficult to remove everyone’s suspicion. As a result, he will probably decide to remain inside the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.”

“Compared to the rest of Favoured Son of Heavens, this guy is actually quite vigilant…”

“But what’s the point of being vigilant in front of me? Even if you hide inside a turtle’s shell, I’ll break it and drag you out.”

Inside the Palace, Gu Changge couldn’t help but laugh.

A Jade scroll appeared in front of him.

It clearly had all the information on the Heavenly Prince.

In addition, there was a lot of information about Ancient Emperors, Heirs of True Immortals, Ancient Freaks, and even many self-proclaimed Young Kings who crowned themselves in many eras.

“This lass, Mingkong, even prepared a list of potential targets for me? It seems that she knows my plan.”

“But it was just what I wanted and saved me a lot of trouble investigating it.”

Gu Changge scanned these names. Yue Mingkong left this Jade Scroll for Gu Changge before leaving Gu Family’s residence.

He didn’t care about it much at the time.

But now that he took a closer look at it, he found that these Ancient Freaks and other peerless geniuses, who were about to leave seclusion, were top-notch resources for his nourishment.

“I must have had a list similar to this in Mingkong’s previous life; she must have created this list from that.”

Gu Changge whispered and began to plan his next move.

He could either follow Yue Mingkong and intercept the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor or find the location where the All-Devouring Sky would appear.

“I can always send someone else to look for the All-Devouring Sky; this is not something urgent. Now, the top priority has to be the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor.”

Soon, Gu Changge decided on his next move.

The next step was, obviously, finding this Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor.

He suspected that even if Yue Mingkong had knowledge of the future, she wouldn’t be able to completely stop him.

Just like what happened the last time with Ye Ling, the strength of the Favoured Son of Heavens was not something Yue Mingkong could anticipate and failed miserably. It’d be harder to anticipate the strength of an old monster like the Human Ancestor, who had reincarnated many times before.

“It’s better if I take care of these kinds of things myself.”

Gu Changge sorted everything out as he smiled and planned to leave. But before that, he decided to visit the Supreme Amethyst Pill Sect.

“Old Ming.”

Soon, Gu Changge summoned the confidant who had been with him in the Lower Realm before.

“This old slave is here, Young Master!”

Elder Ming, dressed in black, arrived instantly.

As a follower of Gu Changge, his identity has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even if he was someone of a foreign surname, many Gu family members started taking him seriously and dared not look down on him.

And he knew very well what was the reason for all this.

“How has Qiuhan been doing during this time?”

Gu Changge stood with his hand behind his back and asked casually. It had been long since he threw Lin Qiuhan at the Supreme Amethyst Pill Sect, and it was time to visit her.

“Qiuhan is living well in the Supreme Amethyst Pill Sect and is being trained as a future Sect Master. Now, her Alchemy achievements are unmatched by her peers in the Supreme Amethyst Pill Sect.”

“She also misses Young Master very much.”

Hearing this, a touch of relief appeared on Old Ming’s face, and he spoke with excitement and joy.

After all, Gu Changge taking the initiative to ask about Lin Qiuhan meant that he didn’t forget about her.

After all, in the Upper Realm, countless Heavenly Daughters will take the initiative to send themself to his door with just a word.

After comparing, Lin Qiuhan – someone from the Lower Realm – would never be on the level of those goddesses, no matter how good her Alchemy Talent was.

Old Ming thought it would’ve been normal if Gu Changge had forgotten about her.

However, now that Gu Changge had asked about her, he knew he was obviously wrong.

How could this not excite Old Ming? He also hoped that the younger generation of his family could be valued by Gu Changge.

“Oh! Qiuhan didn’t disappoint me.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly, not very surprised. After all, she was someone with great fortune and could only display her Alchemy Talent after coming to the Upper Realm.

“I happened to have some time recently, so let’s go to Supreme Amethyst Pill Sect to see her.”

Gu Changge continued.

There was still something he needed to hand over to Lin Qiuhan. He let the Supreme Amethyst Pill Sect nurture her for a long time, so now it was time to put her to good use.

“Thank you, Young Master. If Qiuhan hears Young Master is visiting her, I’m sure she’ll be pleasantly surprised.”

Old Ming said, excited.

[On the other side, inside the Palace]

“What? My parents and grandfather’s whereabouts?”

After many twists and turns, a piece of news reached Gu Xian’er’s ears which Gu Changge deliberately arranged.

She looked at the people in front of her, who reported this news to her.

Her face was overwhelmed with emotions of joy, excitement and delight that she could not conceal.

This was the second most delightful thing that had happened to her in a long time.

And the first thing was, of course, figuring out Gu Changge’s unspeakable secret.

Since the Nirvana Pond incident, Gu Xian’er had never seen Gu Changge again and had no idea what Gu Changge was doing.

When Gu Changge was controlled by his Demonic Nature, Gu Xian’er already understood everything.

Why did Gu Changge dig her Dao Bones back then? Wasn’t it because Demonic Nature was controlling him?

And now, Gu Changge would rather destroy his own arms rather than hurt her.

This made Gu Xian’er extremely touched.

Especially at that time, Gu Changge’s “Don’t touch her” seemed to be a roar at the other him. The low roar still echoed in her ears from time to time, making her heart tremble.

Gu Xian’er could now understand what Gu Changge had done over the years.

Now that he was deliberately avoiding her, it may be just that he could not face her.

Thinking about this, Gu Xian’er didn’t care about Gu Changge’s many actions.

“Miss, the information should be correct. At that time, a cultivator noticed the whereabouts of the Patriarch, and they seemed to be in one of the Lower Realms….”

“From the news, there are no problems, and the situation of the Patriarch¹Note: They are calling him Patriarch because he is still the head of Gu Xian’er’s side lineage. is also good.”

The clansman who reported the report had a determined expression on his face.

“What’s the source of this news?”

Gu Xian’er was a little confused and curious.

“We don’t know because the news source has gone through many twists and turns, and it is impossible to determine where it came from.” The person replied respectfully.

Gu Xian’er was startled slightly.

After reacting, she nodded, glanced in the direction of Gu Changge, and then said, “Okay, I will leave to go find my parents.”

She had just returned to the Gu Family residence, and then suddenly, the whereabouts of her parents were found?

Can there be such a coincidence?

Gu Xian’er was not stupid.

She knew someone must have been secretly helping her investigate about this over the years.

And who could this person be?

Gu Xian’er already knew who did it.

‘Gu Changge is really as proud as ever. He cares about me very much in his heart, but he still tries to look indifferent….’

With such thoughts, Gu Xian’er led many powerful people in her lineage and left for her parent’s place.

[At the same time. Outside the territory of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family.]

“Saintess.”

Yan Ji was standing here with a veil and mist covering her face. From appearance alone, she was completely indistinguishable from Jiang Chuchu.

At this time, even if Wang Zijin, who cultivated with Jiang Chuchu, was present, it’d be difficult for her to see any abnormality.

The Ancient Deity of Reincarnation was also a notorious person when he was young. He had no choice but to develop such a secret technique to change his face, and even his Origin could be disguised.

Perhaps even the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation himself did not expect that one day his secret technique would be used by Gu Changge in such a way.

At this moment, an old lady dressed in grey, having Great Sacred Realm cultivation, appeared from the void and said respectfully.

She also didn’t notice the abnormality with Yan Ji.

Yan Ji nodded slightly, her expression flat as if it contained no trace of emotion.

Following Gu Changge’s instructions, after she left the Immortal Gu family, she rushed here as a descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall.

The goal was the territory where the Ancient Royal Family lived.

“Saintess, was this investigation fruitful?” the old lady in grey couldn’t help but ask with some curiosity. Before, Jiang Chuchu insisted on going to the Immortal Gu Family and questioned Gu Changge. This seemed unnecessary to her.

The biggest suspect of the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts today was the Heavenly Prince, so shouldn’t she go to investigate him?

Hearing this, Yan Ji showed just a hint of apology on her face and shook her head, “I was overthinking. Young Master Changge has the world in mind and saved a lot of people fighting against the Inheritors of Forbidden Demonic Arts. I shouldn’t have doubted him.”

Hearing this, the old lady was a little stunned. She worried that Saintess would still be stubborn, not backing off. But it was exactly the opposite.

‘It’s not too late to wake up now.’

“Saintess, are we heading to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain now? I’m afraid it’s probably a tiger’s den, and it won’t be peaceful.” The old lady in grey said with some worry.

She was worried that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain would take this opportunity to attack Jiang Chuchu, regardless of the consequences.

Yan Ji shook her head and said, “Finding the true Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts is of great importance. Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain would not dare to take the risk and become the enemy of the world, so don’t worry.”

As she said this, she looked a little dazed.

When she first returned to the Upper Realm with Gu Changge, she actually didn’t know GU Changge’s identity as the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor.

It was only recently that Yan Ji understood all this.

The man she was following was not a great hero? But a demon who uses the world as a chessboard?

However, she had no opinions on that.

After all, she was following Gu Changge, not his identity.

Despite being aware of his identity, Gu Changge didn’t do anything to her. Instead, he trusted her very much and left many important things to her.

The grace of recognition, the grace of reshaping the body…He showed her too much kindness Yan Ji couldn’t ever repay.

“I understand, Saintess. Then, are we going to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain now and not look for the Reincarnation of Human Ancestor?”

After hearing the words, the old lady in grey also looked solemnly, swept away the previous worries, and then asked about another matter.

This was something Jiang Chuchu had always cared about before, and it was as important as finding the true Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.

If they went to the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, the search for the Reincarnation of Human Ancestor would have to be put on hold.

“The Human Ancestor will return sooner or later. We don’t have to intervene too much; just let it go with the flow. Too much interference may also hinder Human Ancestor.”

Yan Ji remembered Gu Changge’s explanation, and she couldn’t help but shake her head slightly, explaining that.

Of course, even if she didn’t look for the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor, the rest of the people in Human Ancestor Hall would not stop looking for him.

After all, the first to find the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor would get unimaginable rewards.

“Our top priority now is to determine the identity of the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts.”

Yan Ji spoke lightly.

After all, Heavenly Prince Shuang was the one carrying the black pit for Gu Changge right now. Naturally, her purpose was to find ways to ensure that the black pot was placed firmly.

“Understood.”

Hearing this, the old lady in grey nodded without having any doubts.

Soon, both of them turned into divine rainbows and rose into the sky, heading towards Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.

[At the same time. Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain]

A man with a gloomy and resentful face was pacing back and forth in the Palace, obviously in a very bad mood.

“Damn it!”

“How dare that Gu Changge set me up like this! I must take revenge!”

His fists were clenched tightly, and his face was resentful, but a deep jealousy, fear, and worry was hidden in his eyes.

During this period, just as Gu Changge had guessed.

Not even two days after he had left seclusion, Ying Shuang, who had planned to show off his might, had only left the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for a short while before he was attacked by many cultivators and living beings, making a mess of his face.

With rumours of him being associated with the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor, no matter where he went, he wasn’t welcomed but instead aroused hatred.

If it weren’t for the power of the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain behind him, many Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans would’ve already made a move and struck him.

There were various signs that the Heavenly Prince was inseparable from the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts.

No matter how the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain explained, it didn’t have any effect. On the contrary, they accidentally killed many cultivators and creatures who had taken action against them, making the matter even worse.

This incident made Ying Shuang extremely angry. Although he didn’t have the memories of the original body, he knew that he had nothing to do with the so-called Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts.

There was no Demonic Aura inside him at all.

All this was framed by Gu Changge and that descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall.

They distorted facts despicable and shamelessly, pouring dirty water directly on him.

However, he still had no way to deal with this, nor did he have many strategies and methods of the original body.

There was no choice but to return and go home for him.

Moreover, he sent someone to investigate the young man next to Yin Mei, who was originally him.

It turned out that the young man was missing, and the place where he disappeared was Immortal Gu Family.

Prince Shuang felt a chill by this.

He guessed that no one would pay attention to such an unknown servant apart from him.

And this young man’s disappearance will not cause any disturbances, and no one will care about him.

“I suddenly disappeared… Yin Mei might be sad, and no one will feed her horses anymore.”

²Kshn: Delusions of a protag.

“This Gu Changge makes Yin Mei sad; he’s courting death!”

At this time, Ying Shung was still thinking that no one except Yin Mei would care about his disappearance.

In his opinion, Yin Mei was the light of his most desperate and helpless time.

If Yin Mei doesn’t care about him, how can she help him so much?

Prince Shuang naturally counted all these grudges on Gu Changge’s head.

‘Gu Changge might have discovered something; otherwise, how could he suddenly attack a young man?’

This made Ying Shuang cold all over his body, giving him the feeling that he was suddenly in Gu Changge’s hands.

The former Heavenly Prince probably occupied his previous body.

And Gu Changge had the means to understand the whole story from his mouth.

Therefore, Ying Shuang was frightened and planned to return to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain first to hide from the limelight for some time.

After all, he was just a young man who hadn’t even seen the world before and instantly became the world’s most envied and superior person.

A change in identity didn’t mean there’ll also be a change in mentality.

Moreover, before he had time to enjoy his new identity, he was associated with the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts and became a target of everyone’s wrath.

This made him so angry that he couldn’t help but curse!

So he could no longer stay in the outside world, and his current ability was not enough to cope with such a situation.

During this period of time, Ying Shuang’s sudden change of his mind and his move to return to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain soon after leaving seclusion attracted the ridicule of many of the Ancient Royal Clans who remained neutral.

They felt that the Heavenly Prince had disgraced himself and his father this time around.

Even the many seniors and old antiques of Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain frowned.

After all, Prince Shuang was determined to leave seclusion before, but now he ran to the heavenly Emperor’s Mountain just after encountering some difficulties.

What kind of Prince was this? Even they felt ashamed of themselves.

This behaviour was so different from the old Prince Shuang that they wondered if he had made a mistake in his training.

But they didn’t think too deeply about it.

As the son of the Emperor, he had the protection of the Emperor’s Dao mark, and his soul was so strong that it was impossible to be easily taken away by any existence.

If someone had dared to do so, it would have been a shock and would have attracted their attention.

Suddenly, the prestige of Prince Shuang in Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain had fallen, but Gu Changge got a lot of Fortune Values and Destiny Points without even doing anything.

From Gu Changge’s point of view, all this was expected, and he also had some contributions to it.

After all, the current Prince Shuang was just dressed in the skin of a noble. From the inside, he was still just a little boy who used to feed horses.

It was already good enough that he wasn’t paralysed in this situation.
