Chapter 63: Longevity Families
The heavens shifted.
After entering the abyss, Gu Changqing seemed to break free from the pool.
His body fell on its own, and around him were layer upon layer of white clouds.
This place seemed like a separate, independent realm.
A great sun hung in the sky. The world felt like a secluded wonderland, with lush greenery surrounding the area.
Like spirit-roots and immortal herbs, teeming with life.
The spiritual aura here was extraordinarily dense, as if he had fallen into a sea of spiritual energy. This spacetime contained an exceptionally rich presence of longevity substance.
With just a breath, Gu Changqing could feel changes spreading through his body.
This was clearly an immortal land, a unique and divine treasure ground!
Rumble… Gu Changqing heard the roar of surging waves. Looking down, he saw at the center of the secret realm a vast ocean.
The vast ocean glowed purple, surrounded by violet qi, exuding an indescribable nobility.
On the surface of that sea, endless tiny blue flowers grew like floating duckweed.
As waves splashed, the extremely dense longevity substance erupted forth, striking the heavens.
“It’s the Reincarnation Sea!”
At that moment, not only Gu Changqing but even the cultivators outside the mirror felt their pupils constrict.
…
“How is this possible?”
He actually found the Reincarnation Sea?!
The crowd was stunned.
Their eyes filled with boundless fervor. The moment Gu Changqing entered this divine land, they too felt the extreme longevity substance and the immortal divine intent!
This realm must hide a great secret!
But the crowd was even more astonished—how could Gu Changqing locate this sea?
Gu Changqing and the little fox had never seen this place before—how did Gu Changqing suddenly know what it was when the little fox died?
“This is where the Heavenly Emperor’s meticulousness shows.”
“He always catches details that ordinary people cannot.”
Jiang Minghuang’s voice sounded calmly.
Everyone involuntarily felt a chill.
From the Heavenly Emperor’s childhood when he entered the mountain and met that she-leopard.
To now, inexplicably arriving at the Reincarnation Sea.
This meticulousness gave everyone goosebumps, and they could sense that compared to his childhood, the Heavenly Emperor’s mind now seemed even more mature.
He had seen a female leopard before as a child, so that made sense. But he had never seen the Reincarnation Sea before until now!
“If he was such a meticulous person, why did he not reveal it during our attack?” someone else asked this question.
Everyone fell silent. No one could explain.
After reviewing the Heavenly Emperor’s past, they realized he was even more terrifying than they had previously thought.
But for someone this meticulous, even if the Justice Alliance’s plan was perfect, the Heavenly Emperor shouldn’t have displayed this little resistance.
It went too smoothly!
So smooth that it felt eerie!
…
The crowd stopped obsessing over that question and continued watching the scene.
Then someone suddenly realized, “Wait, if the Reincarnation Sea has been found, why would the little fox still die?”
Everyone was suddenly stunned by this revelation!
From the absence of the little fox beside the Heavenly Emperor in his later years, it was clear the little fox was definitely dead!
As if it had vanished from the mortal world, without a trace.
Keep in mind, the Heavenly Emperor had been so terrible, the entire universe had teamed up to bring him down. The Justice Alliance had gathered almost all cultivators of the Beixuan Continent, yet not one knew the little fox’s whereabouts.
This was enough to indicate that the later little fox was definitely dead—and very likely died in this Forbidden Zone.
Otherwise, there would be no way this world had no news of that fox.
But why would the little fox still die after the Reincarnation Sea was found?
The crowd could not understand.
But they soon got an answer.
From around the secret realm, ten terrifying auras suddenly erupted.
At the moment those fearsome auras burst forth, they immediately suppressed ten thousand paths and obliterated the firmament.
The pupils of all cultivators outside the mirror contracted sharply.
Supreme!!
Indeed, those auras were the power of Supremes!
Moreover, nearly ten Supremes!!
“A Longevity Family!!!”
At that moment, every cultivator felt their hearts tremble.
Supreme cultivators were incomparably powerful. A single Supreme could make a clan flourish.
Nearly ten Supremes combined—what a terrifying force that would be!
Only three families across the entire Beixuan Continent could be considered Longevity Families, one of which was Jiang Minghuang’s clan.
Longevity Families!
Those two words meant that even if the head perished, the clan could prosper for millennia—such was their depth of foundation and resources!
But even a clan like Jiang Minghuang’s might not necessarily have the foundation to produce nearly ten Supreme-level experts!
“Nearly ten Supremes lie dormant here… It seems the Reincarnation Sea truly hides a great secret.”
They could guess that the reason nearly ten Supremes were here was definitely tied to the Reincarnation Sea.
One could even say it was the Reincarnation Sea’s power that nurtured these nearly ten Supreme experts!
For a moment, everyone stared at the vast ocean in the mirror with burning eyes.
However, they soon noticed a twist in the narrative.
“No, no, that’s not right.”
“Faced with nearly ten Supremes, the Heavenly Emperor naturally wouldn’t be able to defeat them, and the little fox would naturally die too.”
“How did the Heavenly Emperor manage to survive?”
Hearing this, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts.
Indeed.
With nearly ten Supremes guarding it, the little fox naturally couldn’t have approached the Reincarnation Sea.
Moreover, the current Gu Changqing was far from the Supreme realm!
Although he had made a big step forward, he was still in the Great Power realm!
If so, since the Heavenly Emperor broke into the Reincarnation Sea’s secret realm and learned its location and secrets—how would these nearly ten Supremes let him leave??
At that moment, a chilling answer rose in everyone’s minds!
Impossible!!
