Soon, the events at Tai Xuan Holy Land caused a sensation across the entire Eastern Wilderness (Donghuang Mainland).
The many forces—holy lands, royal dynasties, and other factions—who had gone to besiege Tai Xuan Holy Land not only refrained from making a move, but also entered the hall to respectfully pay their respects to the young man.
This news made countless cultivators widen their eyes in shock, hardly believing it.
At the same time, many images were transmitted through the recording stones and spread across various places. Among them was a scene from the gate of Tai Xuan Holy Land.
In an instant, nearly all the forces came to know of this young man from the Upper Realm.
Countless cultivators were shaken.
It turned out that the Upper Realm, which had been rumored for so long, truly existed.
This earth-shattering news spread from the Eastern Wilderness to other regions, causing a huge stir.
"The Eastern Wilderness is truly changing rapidly!"
"Yes, the legendary Upper Realm actually has young beings descending..."
"It's been said for ages that ascending to the Upper Realm is extremely difficult, let alone descending; this is totally going against the heavens..."
"Heh, no wonder the various sects and factions came out so strongly, only to adopt that attitude in the end. I thought Tai Xuan Holy Land would perish that day."
"Didn't expect it, but Tai Xuan Holy Land has really been lucky to hold onto that young lord's coattails."
"But within all this, I've heard that a certain inner disciple named Ye Chen from Tai Xuan Holy Land has also gained some fame."
At a tavern, many people were laughing loudly.
"Hahaha, I know the story," a person next to him chimed in with a laugh.
"Apparently, it's because that young lord effortlessly captured the heart of the Eastern Wilderness' most beautiful woman, Su Qingge, which made Ye Chen, out of jealousy, try to challenge him. Heh, in the end, that young lord only used a single glance to make Ye Chen kneel and unable to move..."
"Tsk tsk, can you believe it? This year, even toads want to eat swan meat—does Ye Chen really think he's worthy of the Eastern Wilderness' number one beauty?"
Cultivators at the tavern laughed uproariously, enjoying their gossip.
Similar conversations could be heard across ancient cities, taverns, and pavilions.
The number of cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness was in the hundreds of millions.
Just one ancient city could house millions of cultivators.
Such a sensational event caused ripples that were unimaginable, spreading through the region in just one day.
In one of these ancient cities, a man with a waxen complexion was rushing along the road.
Hearing the nearby discussions, his face grew even darker, his fists clenched so tightly that they cracked.
He then touched his chest, still sore from the injury he had received, his eyes flashing with coldness and hatred as he muttered to himself,
"Su Qingge, you slut, how could you betray me..."
"Gu Changge, the shame you've caused me, one day I will return it a hundredfold."
This man was none other than Ye Chen, who had disguised himself.
Now, there was no place for him to hide in the Eastern Wilderness.
It was all because of Gu Changge's single sentence that made all the sects and factions in the Eastern Wilderness avoid him like a plague.
He couldn't even travel in his original appearance anymore.
At this moment, Ye Chen was planning to use the grand teleportation array in this ancient city to head to Zhongzhou Mainland.
Compared to the Eastern Wilderness, Zhongzhou was far more mysterious and vast, with dragon veins converging, sects everywhere, holy lands, and divine mountains, all boasting long histories.
Even Gu Changge, no matter how powerful he was, couldn't possibly control all of Zhongzhou, could he?
Moreover, many of the families and sects in Zhongzhou had connections to the Upper Realm, with ancestors who had ascended.
Ye Chen's plan was simple.
With his strong talent, once he joined one of those powerful families in Zhongzhou, he could quickly rise to prominence.
Wasn't Gu Changge's arrogance due to his Upper Realm background?
Once Ye Chen had that same kind of background, what could Gu Changge do?
He would make both Su Qingge and Gu Changge regret their actions!
As he thought of this, Ye Chen's mood calmed down, even breaking into a cold smile.
"Master..."
However, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel some worry and confusion. Ever since the incident at Tai Xuan Holy Land, his beautiful master had become very quiet, only coming to his aid when he was in danger.
Ye Chen felt a slight unease in his heart, clenching his fists tighter.
Could Yan Ji be betraying him too, leaving him behind?
He wasn't willing to accept that.
...
Half a month later.
"A golden invitation from the Third Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty in Zhongzhou Mainland, inviting all the top talents from various regions to come and discuss Dao?"
In a great hall, Gu Changge glanced at the gilded invitation that Su Qingge handed to him and raised his eyebrow slightly.
He gave it a cursory glance and quickly lost interest.
The so-called talents from the Lower Realm were nothing in his eyes. He could crush them with just a finger.
It was far more interesting to tease Su Qingge every day.
"The Great Xia Dynasty? Zhongzhou?"
"Ah, right, it's time to change the map," Gu Changge said casually while eating grapes, standing up.
Life had been too leisurely recently.
He wasn't used to the days without harvesting the "leeks" of Ye Chen.
Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, Ye Chen should have already escaped to Zhongzhou by now.
"Three days from now, all the young talents from the Eastern Wilderness' holy lands, royal dynasties, and families will depart together. Will you join, Young Master?"
Su Qingge asked.
Gu Changge pondered for a moment before nodding.
He suddenly recalled something.
It seemed that Elder Ming's family was located in Zhongzhou.
Thirty thousand years ago, Elder Ming had broken the void from Zhongzhou and successfully ascended to the Upper Realm.
