Chapter 689: Just Do What You're Going to Do
Is the demon realm about to descend?
Gu Heng immediately tensed up.
For the past few months, Gu Heng had been listening to those vague threats, the most frequently mentioned being the Ancient Immortal Venerable Gu Yun of the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, even though Gu Yun was now clearly his enemy.
He didn't really care much. In fact, because he had heard so many rumors about the threat from the demon realm, he felt a bit like "crying wolf" and gradually became desensitized.
But is the Demon Realm really coming?
"Hmm...I understand. Tell me in detail what happened."
Gu Heng invited Jin Qian into the courtyard, and as soon as they sat down, Jin Qian eagerly began to recount the situation in the Western Regions. In short, the Western Regions had been experiencing strange phenomena in the past few days, with particularly intense spatial fluctuations, and the sky was tinged with an undeniable blood-red hue from morning till night—it looked extremely eerie!
The place where the strange phenomenon occurred was always isolated from the world, where even birds and beasts rarely appeared. Many monsters were causing trouble there, and their numbers were enormous...
Some cultivators went to explore that place, but it is said that the valley is filled with blood mist, and touching it is fatal. The teams that went to explore it suffered heavy casualties.
So what happened there is actually a variety of accounts and rumors.
But overall, people tend to believe that this is a harbinger of the coming of the demon realm.
It is said.
The news has spread, and many sects, families, and cultivators in the Xuantian Realm have gathered together to discuss how to resist, whether they can resist, and so on... After all, the Xuantian Realm seems to be completely unable to deal with the Demon Realm in its current state.
"This matter cannot be ignored, Young Master Gu. If the Demon Realm descends, it will surely bring devastation to all living beings!"
Jin Qian was very anxious.
He knew very well just how dangerous the Demon Realm was.
Although they had not actually experienced the Five Realms War, every cultivator born in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm knew about what happened back then.
Think about it.
Jin Qian felt that Gu Heng definitely had a plan!
Although it's unclear just how strong he is, or whether he's powerful enough to fight against an entire realm single-handedly, there must be a way to deal with it.
"Alright, alright, look at you, never leaving the house, what's the rush?" "Go back to your inn, do what you're supposed to do, stop babbling on and on, spreading bad news so early in the morning."
Gu Heng simply waved his hand in response.
This shopkeeper is neglecting his own business, yet he's worrying about the Demon Realm that's so far away. I don't know what the point of worrying about it so much is.
People say it's good to be prepared for a rainy day, but those who prepare in advance should be people with ability and strength.
Jin Qian just runs an inn, why is he worrying so much?
Seeing that Gu Heng was not flustered at all, and even had an impatient expression.
Jin Qian was stunned for a long time, but in the end he said nothing more.
Also.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Young Master Gu is much more capable. He's not in a hurry, while I'm so anxious. Isn't that going against the natural order?
"...Alright, Mr. Gu, I'll be going now. Just call me anytime if you need anything."
He decided to go back and wait for news.
"Go on, go on, don't think about so many unnecessary things."
Gu Heng waved his hand, directly shooing Jin Qian away.
After Jin Qian left, Gu Heng closed the courtyard gate and sat down in the courtyard to start thinking. Then he took out the milky white jade that he had obtained from Mo Mang Xuanxian.
This so-called treasure appears to be the "objective" of the Five Realms War.
Gu Heng's guess might be correct, but he knew that if the Xuan Tian Realm was just a world full of "mortals," then the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm would not fight so fiercely for it, so there must be something very important!
Regardless of what this milky white jade actually is, it is absolutely crucial.
Then the problem is coming.
What is this? Gu Heng examined it carefully. The milky white jade felt very smooth to the touch, and there was a warm feeling emanating from the inside out. Apart from that, he couldn't see anything else. If Mo Mang Xuanxian hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have been able to tell what kind of treasure this was that could bring people back to life.
"……Um?"
Gu Heng looked up at the two slowly growing trees in the front yard.
Ever since he planted the Seven Realms Sacred Tree and the Soul-Devouring Vine in the front yard, and they grew rapidly from day one, their growth has now slowed down.
Slow growth is a good thing, after all, he grew fast back then because he used the catalyst from the system store.
It's not good to force growth; let them grow naturally.
but……
Gu Heng wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but did the two plants bend slightly toward him?
He carefully put away the milky white jade, examined it closely, and realized that he had indeed misjudged it.
Gu Heng lay back down on his comfortable recliner with little interest.
That being said, he hadn't seen Su Jinxi and Qin Yiyao in a long time, especially Su Jinxi.
How are they doing lately?
……
"boom!"
"Useless! Good-for-nothings! Are you all just eating shit?!"
Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, Dragon Palace.
Gu Yun looked at the four Xuanxian who had returned in a sorry state, the ones he had entrusted with the important task of taking over the entire Xuantian Realm.
When I went there.
These guys were making solemn promises to me, saying they would definitely get it done.
Only a few months later, they were like dogs kicked back from the street. His eyes were blazing with rage, his dragon-like might trembled, and his killing intent boiled; he wished he could rush up and chop these good-for-nothings to pieces.
"You idiots, have you all wasted your lives?"
"I sent you to take over the Xuan Tian Realm, and what was the result?"
"Not only did you come back empty-handed, but you also ran back like stray dogs. Did I raise you bunch of good-for-nothings just to eat for free?!"
Gu Yun slammed his hand hard on the table, and the table shattered instantly.
He glared angrily at the four Xuanxian kneeling on the ground before him, his face turning ashen with rage. The entire Dragon Palace trembled at the Immortal Venerable's fury.
The four immortals lowered their heads, remaining silent as if trembling in fear.
They knew Gu Yun's volatile temper, knew they were in the wrong, and knew they had made a mistake, but none of them could explain it away. After all, they were the ones who hadn't realized something was wrong while they were in the Xuan Tian Realm.
This time, they truly failed. And...
The defeat was truly unexpected and utterly devastating.
Furthermore, since the Crimson Dragon Immortal died and couldn't return, the situation would naturally be better if he were also here being scolded.
It's a pity that he died.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Ancient Immortal Venerable, they were not only useless and incompetent, but also cowards who watched their colleagues being killed without uttering a word and slunk away.
Thinking of this, the four immortals didn't dare to raise their heads, fearing that they would be smashed into pieces on the spot.
"You don't even know how those people became immortals?"
Gu Yun asked in a cold voice.
"Reporting to the Immortal Venerable, we are indeed unaware of this matter. We initially thought they came from the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm and were deliberately interfering, but they have no marks on them," Qingquan Xuanxian reported.
Of course, there were many more things he was too embarrassed to say.
For example, earlier, Qingquan Xuanxian had already been threatened by a white dragon of unknown strength...
Upon hearing this result...
Gu Yun was so angry that his dragon whiskers trembled.
So, there are actually immortals in that Xuan Tian Realm?!
