"It's a pity about the countless citizens of my Heavenly Sword Great World." The avatar sighed. He wasn't regretting it. To him, 'one general's success is built on ten thousand bones' meant regret was impossible. He simply felt it was a pity that these people whose life essence he had devoured hadn't served their intended purpose.
"You mean them?"
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, and a world appeared in his palm. The avatar's pupils shrank upon seeing it. Weren't the people inside the very ones he had devoured? How was this possible?
Could it be… He remembered Gu Changsheng mentioning earlier that a little energy had been wasted. He had thought Gu Changsheng was referring to the wasted energy suppressing his cultivation, but now it seemed he had wasted a little energy creating countless life essences.
"Human Race Holy Emperor?"
The avatar murmured one last time before completely dissipating. After he vanished, the golden ocean of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm rapidly withered until it was completely dry. Directly below them, a dignified corpse sat cross-legged on the ground—the body of Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable.
"Take the body," Gu Changsheng said to Li Beifei.
"Oh, oh!" Li Beifei was still in a daze. He hadn't seen anything from Gu Changsheng's sword strike earlier and had been asking Old Liu about it. Old Liu had said there were no problems.
"Ouch!"
Li Beifei was suddenly sent flying by some force, coughing up blood and nearly losing his life.
"Damn it, I forgot you're only at the Life and Death Realm. You can't even touch an Immortal Venerable's corpse. My bad, teacher's mistake."
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, saving the endangered Li Beifei.
Li Beifei, hearing Gu Changsheng's exaggerated tone, looked resentful. It was deliberate, definitely deliberate.
"Hehe…"
White Tiger Demon Emperor let out a melodious cry.
"Aunt Bai…"
White Tiger Demon Emperor immediately restrained her voice, saying, "Little Feifei, are you alright?"
Sigh…
Li Beifei sighed inwardly.
…
Because of Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable's complete demise, the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm lost its power source and began to slowly collapse. Those whom Gu Changsheng had rescued stood outside the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm in a daze.
Gu Changsheng naturally didn't save everyone. He only saved humans, and those with kind hearts. Even though human cultivators made up the vast majority of those who entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, less than a tenth survived.
To this, Gu Changsheng could only sigh, 'The righteous path of the world is full of vicissitudes.'
The collapse of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm naturally attracted the attention of the two Immortal Kings. The sword intent of Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable had flashed briefly and now completely disappeared, giving them a bad feeling.
"I'm afraid… it failed," Xuan Ye said with a complex expression.
"Failed?" Chi Yan's tone was also complex, but for some reason, seeing so many humans emerge safely, he felt a sense of relief.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Chi Yan Immortal King felt something. He looked in a certain direction and saw a young man exuding sword intent walking through the void in the company of two elders.
"Innate Sword Body, Sword Bone by nature!" Xuan Ye Immortal King also noticed Li Beifei.
They had followed Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable for many years and naturally knew Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable's physique. Now that Li Beifei's physique had just awakened, although he was trying his best to hide himself, the two Immortal Kings were both sword dao experts. Their perception of sword intent was extraordinary, and they immediately sensed the sword intent on Li Beifei's body.
With the same physique, the emitted sword intent and aura inevitably had similarities. If it were someone else, even with stronger sword intent, they wouldn't have noticed.
The two Immortal Kings exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. With a flash of their figures, they arrived in front of Gu Changsheng and the others. When they arrived in front of Gu Changsheng, they were stunned. Their attention had been on Li Beifei, and they hadn't noticed the unfathomable person beside Li Beifei.
However, they were only stunned for a moment and quickly adjusted their mindsets. Chi Yan Immortal King cupped his fist at Gu Changsheng and said, "I am Chi Yan. May I ask the fellow daoist to stop?"
"Oh, you want to snatch my disciple?" Gu Changsheng pointed at Li Beifei.
Li Beifei was startled. How had he become so popular? An Immortal Venerable wanted to seize his body, and now two Immortal Kings wanted to snatch him.
"Uh…"
Chi Yan and Xuan Ye both showed embarrassed expressions. To be honest, if Gu Changsheng weren't there, they really would have tried to snatch Li Beifei, and they might even have fought each other for the sake of taking Li Beifei as a disciple.
Now that their thoughts had been exposed, how could they not be embarrassed? However, they were Immortal King experts who had cultivated for countless years, and their skin was thicker than usual.
"Fellow daoist is joking. With you here, how would I dare?" Chi Yan responded.
"Only dare not, not don't want to," Gu Changsheng said lightly.
"…"
Chi Yan and Xuan Ye were completely speechless. Big brother, give us a step down, or we can't continue this conversation.
"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore." Gu Changsheng's words made the two Immortal King experts feel ashamed. To joke with Immortal Kings was probably a rare occurrence in the entire ancient history of the myriad realms.
"I know what you're thinking. You just want to cultivate my rebellious disciple into an Immortal Venerable and then save your world, right?"
"Fellow daoist is wise!" Chi Yan and Xuan Ye both smiled bitterly at the same time. The thoughts in their hearts had been completely discerned by the mysterious expert in front of them.
"Really? That sounds good! How many resources do you have for me?" At this time, Li Beifei looked at Chi Yan and Xuan Ye like a money-grubbing pig. They were going to cultivate him into an Immortal Venerable, so he would need at least a few divine sources every day, right?
"Uh… if you are willing, we will use all the resources of the Heavenly Sword Great World to help you cultivate to Immortal Venerable, but…"
Before Chi Yan could finish speaking, Li Beifei said, "No buts, I'm will—"
"You willing my ass!" Gu Changsheng kicked him away. Seeing this, White Tiger Demon Emperor lightly tapped her jade foot to catch Little Feifei.
"…" What a fierce master. That was what the two Immortal Kings were thinking at this moment.
"Heavenly Sword Great World, a world dominated by the human race, right…"
Gu Changsheng seemed to be asking the two, but also seemed to be saying something.
"Since I destroyed your Immortal Venerable, it wouldn't be good to ignore this world. Wait a moment, I'll help you pull a strong expert over."
After saying that, Gu Changsheng disappeared, along with Li Beifei and White Tiger Demon Emperor in the distance.
"…"
"He wouldn't have run away with people, would he?" The silent Xuan Ye spoke.
"I don't know!" Chi Yan also looked blank.
"Wait, did he just say he destroyed our world's Immortal Venerable?" Chi Yan asked.
"Did he?" Xuan Ye asked back.
"I clearly heard it just now."
"Really? I'm not sure!"
（Gu Sheng, this background board, should also come out and bask in the sun.）
