Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 11 - The Terrifying Figure of the Su Family

Chapter 11: The Terrifying Figure of the Su Family

“Gu Cangqiong, that old man, died?” Gu Qingge said and was completely stunned. Her delicate and exquisite face froze, her small mouth slightly agape, showing disbelief.

How could this be…

That old guy had lived for thousands of years in the future, seizing Gu Yi’s body and becoming a Great Saint and one of the powerhouses in the Chaos Kun God Realm. If she hadn’t become a quasi-emperor at the Ninth Heaven and slapped that old fellow to death, he would probably have continued to be arrogant.

But now, how did he die prematurely? It was completely different from what she remembered. Could it be that her rebirth was false?

No, something’s not right. The scenes in my memory are correct. Those secret techniques, my experiences, everything is real. Could it be that unexpected circumstances occurred because of my rebirth? Gu Qingge thought.

Gu Qingge calmed down. As an Empress, her vision was extremely profound, and she knew that the things in her memory could not be false. Even if there were powerhouses who could create deceptions, there was no need for them to play tricks on her.

The only other possibility was that her rebirth caused unexpected circumstances, resulting in the premature death of Gu Cangqiong, the old man who should have died at her hands.

“What a pity, I wanted to kill that old man again!” Gu Qingge silently said.

However, since that old man Gu Cangqiong died prematurely, it means that the future in my memory can also change at any time. I have to act quickly! Gu Qingge calmly thought.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance. As a reborn individual, she knew that there were many world-changing opportunities, some of which even her previous life as the Empress of the Cataclysmic Era yearned for. If she could obtain all of them, her future achievements would be unimaginable, easily surpassing even the Great Emperors.

In my previous life, as the Empress of the Cataclysm, I controlled the Crimson Lotus Immortal Fire and was almost unbeatable in the same realm. I killed more than one Great Emperor but couldn’t become Immortal and fell in that battle. This time, I will never repeat the same mistakes! Gu Qingge thought.

Gu Qingge’s eyes were filled with longing. Then, she surveyed the room and found that there was no one else present. She sat cross-legged, preparing to start cultivating.

Although her body had not yet activated, with the various astonishing techniques she mastered as the Empress of the Cataclysm, she was confident that she could reach the Divine Powers Realm within a few days. Then, she would use a secret technique to escape from the Gu family.

One day would be enough for her.

Let’s use the Blood Refining Demon Art for rapid progress! Gu Qingge thought.

Soon, Gu Qingge chose her technique. It was one of the many secret techniques she mastered, originating from an ancient Emperor’s power inheritance. This technique could quickly advance one’s cultivation realm but carried great hidden dangers. It was only suitable for cultivating cannon fodder.

Buzz!

As Gu Qingge cultivated in the room, the spiritual energy in the void swiftly surged and entered her body. Her originally pale and bloodless face rapidly regained its rosy complexion. Her aura was also rapidly rising.

Boom!

After an hour, Gu Qingge suddenly opened her eyes, a dazzling radiance flashing through her. Her aura had become much stronger than before and increased countless times.

A majestic aura appeared on her delicate features.

Qi Sea Realm!

Gu Qingge’s strength had skyrocketed from an ordinary mortal to the Qi Sea Realm in just a short hour. If others knew, they would undoubtedly be amazed and find it unbelievable.

Boom!

A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from Gu Qingge’s body at that moment. It felt like an invincible Empress had descended, reigning over the past and present, overseeing the vast world. Her gaze seemed to transcend time and space, seeing through the ages. With a flick of her finger, the cycles of life and death reversed.

In this state, Gu Qingge looked like an Empress, icy and peerless, unmatched in elegance. However, shortly after, she exited that state, opening her eyes with a hint of astonishment.

“I didn’t expect that a part of my soul fragments would accompany me in my rebirth and could be activated now. Indeed, all my memories are real!” Gu Qingge murmured excitedly.

If she had any doubts about her rebirth before, she was completely certain now. The soul fragments she just experienced were the best proof, carrying a portion of her past life’s power.

Given her current cultivation level, she could temporarily unleash some of her previous life’s strength. With her current Qi Sea Realm power, she could probably erupt with the combat strength of the Law Phase Realm, although not for an extended period. However, it was already sufficient. Combining her memories with the opportunities she sought from her past life, her rise in this life was only a matter of time.

The Blood Refining Demon Art deserved to be one of the strongest techniques for rapid advancement in the Blood Refining Emperor Palace. It could break through realms in the shortest time. Unfortunately, the flaws in this technique were too significant.

Gu Qingge remained calm in her heart. She knew that this advancement speed was abnormal, and the technique had significant flaws and limited combat strength. It was only useful for cultivating cannon fodder. She would close her eyes again and continue cultivating, aiming to quickly reach the Divine Powers Realm, leave the Gu family, and find opportunities to activate her Immortal Body of the Cataclysm, laying the foundation to become the strongest in the eternal era. In this lifetime, she would ultimately reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Path and surpass her previous life.

Boom!

However, at that moment, a terrifying collision sounded above the Gu family. Immediately after, violent shaking occurred, causing the entire Arctic Heaven City to tremble.

“What’s happening?!” Gu Qingge said with astonishment and widened her eyes. Could it be that another unexpected event had occurred?

A dreadful holy might descended in the next second, accompanied by a cold voice that echoed through the air.

“The members of the Su family, annihilate the Gu family for me!”

Like an imposing heavenly authority, this voice resonated throughout the Arctic Heaven City. For a moment, countless cultivators and mortals in the entire city were filled with fear and trepidation.

Had a Saint descended? Was it really the Su family? Gu Qingge was once again dumbfounded. Wasn’t the Su family supposed to be wiped out today by Gu Cangqiong and his men? How come the Su family survived and produced a Saint who came to destroy the Gu family?

Something seemed off about this world.

Was she truly reborn?

…

“A Saint has arrived, and it’s from the Su family? Wasn’t it said that the Su family was finished? How can a Saint appear now?”

“Furthermore, this Saint is specifically targeting the Gu family. The Gu family is done for! With a Saint descending, how can they resist?”

“Elder, didn’t you say that the Su family was doomed? Why has everything turned completely opposite now?”

Inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, a group of cultivators talked and looked at the middle-aged Daoist with strange looks. Their doubtful eyes embarrassed the middle-aged Daoist, and he felt a twitch in his lips.

He had been proven wrong!

No, something wasn’t right. He had made the right calculations. The Gu family’s fortune was thriving, destined for greatness spanning a thousand years. On the other hand, the Su family’s fortune was declining, showing signs of destruction.

Moreover, the Gu family had a Saint, even if it was a newly promoted pseudo-Saint with flaws. They should have been more capable of easily annihilating the Su family. How had everything turned around?

The middle-aged Daoist was about to start his calculations when he suddenly felt a terrifying chill rapidly approaching and unstoppable.

Boom!

In a blurred vision, it seemed like a pair of indifferent eyes glanced at him from the depths of the eternal river of time.

“Pu!”

The next second, his face turned pale as if struck by lightning. He let out a gush of blood and fell to the ground.

Within that blood, a brilliant divine radiance shimmered, surrounded by a halo of ethereal light containing an extraordinary divine power. However, the divine power within the blood was wiped away by an inexplicable force. Otherwise, this drop of blood could have caused immense catastrophe, wiping out a vast expanse of land.

Boom!

The middle-aged Daoist’s body trembled violently, swaying as his vision darkened, nearly collapsing to the ground.

The dazzling Emperor Star was unstoppable. An unimaginable supreme existence was about to rise!

The middle-aged Daoist’s expression was filled with horror, his fingers trembling. He was one of the Masters of the Heavenly Dao Temple. With his cultivation, let alone a Saint, he could deduce even the actions of an Emperor. How could it be that he almost suffered a backlash when he was about to calculate the Su family’s Saint?

“This person from the Su family is terrifying beyond measure. I can’t provoke them, can’t provoke them!”

The middle-aged Daoist broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding. Ignoring the bewildered crowd, he turned around and left the Drunken Immortal Tower, hastily departing from the Arctic Heaven City. He swore that in his lifetime, he would never set foot in the True Saint Continent again! No, forget about the True Saint Continent. He didn’t want to go to the Chaos Kun Divine Realm or the Eternal Heaven Realm. It was too terrifying.

As for his original purpose, that damn Ninth Devil’s Abyss, it could break free if it wanted to, even if it destroyed the True Saint Continent and swept through the Chaos Kun Divine Realm. What did it matter? He no longer wanted to bother with it.

Whoever the hell wanted to come to the True Saint Continent, let them come. If he couldn’t afford to provoke them, couldn’t he avoid them?

“He ran away?” The group of cultivators in the Drunken Immortal Tower said and were dumbfounded by the middle-aged Daoist’s actions.

Boom!

At the same time, within the Arctic Heaven City, a giant hand slapped down once again, shattering the Gu family’s protective formation. The horrifying shockwaves destroyed countless buildings and palaces.

“Kill!”

“Annihilate the Gu family. The Su family is invincible!”

In the void, one gateway after another opened, and the members of the Su family’s army continuously poured out like a torrent rushing toward the Gu family, determined to wipe them out.

For a moment, the powerful individuals of the Gu family were left dumbfounded.
