  At the Azure Ville.

  Gu Changqing suddenly looked toward the direction of the Xia Kingdom in shock.

  “Is that Luck? What happened to the mundane people? How did they gain so much Luck?! It’s affecting the entire Immortal Realm.”


  He was trembling and talking to himself. “Such intense Luck…… What did the mundane people do? Who will stop the revolution?”


  He looked upon the horizon and saw a flash of gold light. It stood amongst the dark clouds. It kind of looked like a golden gate in the sky!

  Suddenly, his eyes went wide. He said in a trembling voice, “Heaven—Heavenly Gates! The Heavenly Gates……are open?”


  The Heavenly Gates were not actual gates. It was more like a taboo.

  Previously, the bridge to immortality was broken because of the Heavenly Gates. However, now that the Heavenly Gates were opened, this meant that the bridge between mortal and immortality had been reconnected!

  Cultivators from the Mahayala realm were technically half-Immortals—soon-to-be Immortals. It was too bad that the bridge to immortality used to be broken so most Mahayala cultivators could not transcend to the Above Immortal Realm. They could only wait to perish.

  He could feel the awakening of powerful forces in the realm. This could have happened because of something that happened a long time ago. Perhaps, it could even be because of a legendary character who was rumored to be dead, or……it might also be because of hidden experts.

  At that moment, he could feel them making their comebacks!

  This change could flip the Immortal Realm upside down!

  No, not just the Immortal Realm—it would affect the Above Immortal Realm, too!

  Gu Changqing looked in that direction. He suddenly realized something. That place…… The expert was over at the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, right?

  What if……it had something to do with the expert?

  Most probably! Who else could do this aside from the expert?

  He immediately turned around and headed toward the temple.

  He bowed, spat out blood, lit some incense, and summoned.

  He was familiar with the procedure.

  ‘Grandpa, something big just happened. Hurry up and show up!’


  However, the Immortal Stone lit up for just a brief moment before it dimmed again.

  ‘Huh?

  ‘Did Grandpa hang up?

  ‘No way, I have to try again.’


  Again, he bowed, spat blood, lit some incense, and summoned.

  Gu Changqing groaned. To be safe, he spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.

  “Grandpa, something big just happened. Come on!”


  The Immortal Stone lit up again. Gu Yuan’s voice could be heard coming from within it. He sounded like he was in a hurry when he said, “I know, I know. The bridge to immortality has been reconnected, right?! The Mundane King’s here, so represent Azure Ville and pay your greetings. Something big is happening on my side, too! Can’t talk right now, bye!”


  The Immortal Stone went dim again.

  Gu Changqing was silent for a while. Then, he suddenly slapped himself in the face.

  “I’m such an idiot. Of course, the Above Immortal Realm would feel the change. What am I so eager for? I wasted four mouthfuls of blood. That’s about decades of cultivation!”


  He did not want to think about how much blood he lost. Otherwise, he would cry from the wastefulness.

  At the Above Immortal Realm.

  Immortal Qi and Spiritual Qi were at their boiling points.

  Everyone was on the move.

  At the Azure Ville.

  Everyone was busy, sprinting around like clueless flies. They could not wait to pass around information.

  At an empty field.

  “Something big just happened. The bridge to immortality has been reconnected!”


  “I know! It’s because there’s a Mundane King in the Immortal Realm! A Mundane King—an existence from a faraway era!”


  “I heard that the Mundane King was tragically rejected by his fiancé three years ago. He swore to change his life. Thus, becoming a Mundane King!”


  “That’s not the correct version. According to reliable sources, this Mundane King has a fiancé he grew up with, but then she died in an accident. Because of that, he swore to search for ways to revive his fiancé. His sentimentality touched the Gods from above.”


  “Lies! These are all rumors! He fell from a cliff and met a Saint!”


  Suddenly, someone ran out frantically with a horrified face. “Something big happened, something big happened!”


  “We know! The Mundane King! The reconnected bridge to immortality!”


  “No, not that. The Firefinch Demon raised by the Sect Master’s gone!”


  Everyone was perturbed. They were horrified. “What? The Sect Master’s going to be pissed!”


  “Stop talking! Everyone, hurry up and look for it. The Sect Master’s on his way back!”


  Everyone scattered to look for the Firefinch Demon. They were all busy looking for it.

  Meanwhile, an elder with white robes rode on a cloud casually.

  His face was flushed and he was squinting, almost like he was drunk. He flew in while whistling.

  He was more pleased when he thought about the rare creatures he had in his backyard garden.

  “Time flew by. I can’t believe I went from an irrelevant nobody to this. Looking back, I’ve been too humble. It turns out I’m incredibly great after all.”


  He was about to reach his Azure Ville Sect. He sped up and chuckled, “My babies! I’m here!”


  The disciples were still busy. Even when they saw him, they simply greeted him before hurrying off.

  The elder was pleased.

  He complimented, “What a bunch of hard-working fellows. They must be shocked by the realm’s changes. Look at them sweating so hard.”


  He continued walking to his backyard garden. He could not control his joy as he smiled and said, “I’m back, babies! Come out and let me look at you!”


  Hm?

  Why was it quiet?

  The elder arched his eyebrow and walked into the garden. He was instantly thunderstruck.

  The garden was still the same. However, all the demons were unconscious.

  He glanced around in panic as he felt his heart throb. “What’s going on? Where’s my precious baby?”


  He used his powers to scan the area. His Firefinch Demon with Phoenix blood was gone!

  Suddenly, his eyes went red. He felt like someone was tugging on his heartstrings.

  He took a deep breath and waved. The unconscious demons woke up, looking confused.

  The elder asked through gritted teeth, “What’s going on? Tell me what happened!”


  When the remaining Firefinch Demons saw the white-robed elder, it was as if they had been reunited with their families. Almost all of them wept and cried, “Sect Master, Gu Yuan did this. You have to avenge us!”


  “Gu Yuan?”


  The elder was stunned. Furious, he yelled, “Order Gu Yuan to meet me at once!”


  Soon, Gu Yuan rushed over with a seemingly good outfit. He looked energetic.

  The Firefinch Demons went off, “It’s him! It’s him! That’s him!”


  Gu Yuan looked calm. He saluted and bowed, “Greetings from Gu Yuan to the Sect Master.”
