Dao Tian Immortal Scripture.
This was the cultivation method that Gu Changge practiced, and it was a technique only accessible to true inherited disciples of the Dao Tian Immortal Sect. It pointed directly toward the attainment of immortality and was the very foundation of the sect's unshakable position. Countless immortal powers and supreme Daoist traditions from the upper realm lusted after it.
At present, Gu Changge had already cultivated up to the sixth level, and among his peers in the upper realm, he was considered a top-tier genius. However, despite his extraordinary talent, he had been stuck at this stage for nearly half a year and was unable to breakthrough to the next level.
"Since Destiny Points can be used to increase stats, it follows that enhancing my cultivation technique will naturally allow me to break through," Gu Changge thought.
He currently had a significant amount of 550 Destiny Points.
"System, increase my stats," he ordered.
As he focused his mind, a wave of fresh energy flowed through his limbs and bones. At the same time, he experienced a profound, mysterious sensation in his mind. This sensation brought numerous insights related to the Dao Tian Immortal Scripture, which he quickly grasped.
The Destiny Points were quickly consumed at a visible rate.
Buzz!
Finally, he broke through to the seventh level of the Dao Tian Immortal Scripture.
Within the palace, the virtual space exploded with the sound of thunder, and immense pressure radiated outward, covering the entire area. The surrounding guards, who were responsible for watching over the palace, suddenly froze in fear.
"That... what was that terrifying aura just now?" one guard stammered, his voice trembling.
"It felt like there was an unparalleled demon hidden in the palace," another guard whispered.
"Be careful with your words," the first guard cautioned, his body drenched in cold sweat. "This young master... he's cultivating, isn't he?"
The guards were terrified. The energy emanating from within was incredibly intimidating.
"This is the power of the Marquis Realm, isn't it? Truly terrifying," one muttered in awe.
Inside the palace, Gu Changge let out a small chuckle and exhaled. The virtual space around him rumbled with a terrifying sound as an even stronger and more frightening aura spread from his body.
His bloodline, lungs, and bones felt crystalline and brilliant, as though they had been tempered to perfection. The subtle Daoist essence and terrifying demonic intent permeated his heart and bones.
The breakthrough in cultivation resulted in a significant enhancement of Gu Changge's natural talents. Even his physical body had grown much stronger.
Magic Heart Dao Bone.
This was indeed exceptional.
Of course, from the perspective of the original host's memories, this likely involved another child of destiny—oh no, it should be a daughter of destiny.
The Magic Heart was his own, but the Dao Bone was not.
"Looks like the Dao Tian Immortal Scripture is quite advanced. Just breaking through a single level consumed so many Destiny Points," Gu Changge thought, a faint smile fading from his face.
While a cultivation breakthrough was certainly a good thing, the sensation of power, of control over everything, was truly exhilarating. However, his 550 Destiny Points had just been completely drained in the process.
This could only mean that the Dao Tian Immortal Scripture was a high-level technique. Its goal of achieving immortality was not just a slogan.
"Ah well, there's always Ye Chen, the 'leek' waiting to be harvested. I'll get plenty of Destiny Points in the future," Gu Changge thought. But soon, he was no longer concerned about it. There were other matters to attend to.
Ye Chen may have looked somewhat pathetic in his efforts to cultivate, but when the time came for him to be reaped, Gu Changge was confident that he'd look much more appealing.
Meanwhile, in the dim, damp dungeon of the Tai Xuan Sacred Ground, the air was thick with the stench of decay, and the atmosphere reeked of rotting corpses.
Ye Chen sat despondently on the ground, his eyes vacant, his expression glazed over. His cultivation was sealed, and he was shackled, still reeling from the immense humiliation of the day.
Aside from the humiliation he suffered three years ago from his former fiancée, when had he ever endured such disgrace?
No matter what predicament he found himself in, Ye Chen had always managed to find a way out and turn the tide in his favor. But today, things seemed different.
"Gu Changge..." Ye Chen's eyes turned red, and he almost growled the name, each word dripping with bitterness.
Just the thought of that enemy's cold, aloof expression, looking down from on high, made Ye Chen feel a surge of anger and frustration. His heart was boiling, and he couldn't bear it any longer.
"Xiao Chen..."
A soft, melodious voice suddenly came from Ye Chen's ring.
Ye Chen froze, and then his face darkened, full of rage and resentment.
"Master, where were you before? Why didn't you respond when I called you?!"
All of Ye Chen's frustration and anger came pouring out toward his master. It was because of her that he had achieved all of this—his cultivation, his status—but today's events had made him feel abandoned. The usually reliable master had disappeared at the crucial moment.
Had she been scared of Gu Changge too?
"Xiao Chen, listen to me. It's not what you think," came the weak and gentle voice from the ring.
Although she had been blamed by Ye Chen, she didn't seem to mind. After all, there was some reason behind her actions.
"At that moment, a terrifying presence covered the entire palace. I suspect it's connected to the enemies who were behind my fall. I couldn't risk revealing myself…"
The voice in the ring explained cautiously. After all, she was just a wisp of a lingering soul now, with very little power left. If her enemies found her, she would be destroyed completely.
Ye Chen quieted down after venting his frustrations, and he listened intently, his eyes widening in surprise.
"No wonder Gu Changge had such a powerful attitude. So he's from the upper realm?" Ye Chen muttered in shock.
He had known his master's origins—she had been a powerful being from the upper realm before her fall. She had been betrayed by her enemies and left with only a remnant soul, which was sealed inside this ring and passed to him.
However, Ye Chen never imagined that Gu Changge's background was so terrifying.
He fell silent, his mind swirling with confusion and helplessness.
Could he really give up on Su Qingge and let her fall into the abyss?
Ye Chen clenched his fist tightly, unwilling to accept it.
