Dual Transmigration: Cultivating Immortality in the Primordial World, Taking on the Desolate Heavenl

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, chaotic energy flowed like angry silver-gray dragons, frantically traversing the void abyss beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Only half an incense stick's time had passed since the Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished his sermon.

On the Purple Jade Square in front of the main hall, the three thousand mortals had not yet completely dispersed. They gathered in small groups, digesting the supreme Daoist essence brought about by the method of severing the three corpses.

However, the originally peaceful environment, which even carried a faint Daoist aura, was torn apart by an extremely expanding, even arrogant, energy.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, please wait!"

With a loud and clear shout, a towering figure holding a golden dragon-headed cane suddenly appeared across the void, blocking Gu Changqing's way as he prepared to leave with the Three Pure Ones.

He was none other than the Eastern King Duke, who had just been designated by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun as the "Head of All Male Immortals".

At this moment, the Eastern King Duke was radiant and full of vigor. A thick, dark golden dragon, symbolizing his supreme rank and power, had just been bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao, enough to command all the immortals of the primordial world. His gaze toward Gu Changqing was filled with undisguised fervor and an unwavering determination.

Lao Tzu stopped in his tracks.

Yuanshi and Tongtian also glanced sideways.

However, the Three Pure Ones did not speak or intervene. They were well aware of their eldest disciple's mindset and abilities. Since the Eastern King Duke had come to them willingly, they were happy to remain neutral.

The powerful beings from the primordial era who were originally preparing to disperse, such as Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and Fuxi, all stopped in their tracks with extreme awareness.

On the other side, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, who were preparing to assemble their forces, stared intently at the scene with grim expressions.

The head of all male immortals in the world—this is the undisputed title of ruler of the world! If Gu Changqing really sides with the Eastern King Duke, then the Three Pure Ones of the Xuanmen will become the Eastern King Duke's most terrifying endorsement, and their demon race's plot to establish a Heavenly Court and rule the starry sky will be killed in the womb!

Under the watchful, breathless gaze of everyone in the audience.

The Eastern King Duke, leaning on his dragon-headed cane, spoke eloquently with what he considered to be the most perfect and courteous smile.

His vision is indeed impressive, and the stakes he's thrown out are nothing short of insane.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing possesses unparalleled talent. To be able to attract the attention of the Dao Ancestor within the Purple Cloud Palace is something only you have achieved throughout history!"

The voice of the Eastern King was not suppressed in the slightest, and it spread far and wide.

"Having just assumed the position of the head of the male immortals, I am in dire need of capable people. If Fellow Daoist Changqing is willing to condescend to assist me, I am willing to share the boundless resources of this primordial world with you!"

"You only need to stand beside me and act as my chief disciple to protect me. I will bestow this title upon you, and you may choose from the finest spiritual veins and innate divine artifacts. Furthermore, I am willing to share the destiny of the world's leading male immortal with you!"

An extremely reasonable chain of interests!

Lacking any of the mindless arrogance of a villain, the Eastern King Duke was shrewd to the extreme. He intended to use his Heavenly Dao status to pull off a scheme to gain something for nothing and drag the Xuanmen sect into his scheme. In his view, no naive cultivator in the entire prehistoric world could refuse such an offer of immense wealth and shared fortune!

The atmosphere at the entrance to the Chaos Sea instantly turned as cold and desolate as ice.

On the back of Di Jun's hand, gripping the Golden Wheel of the Sun, veins bulged. Taiyi had even secretly activated the Chaos Bell; if Gu Changqing nodded, they would risk offending the Three Pure Ones to smash these two apart on the spot!

however.

Gu Changqing stood opposite the Eastern King Duke.

He didn't even lift his eyelids once from beginning to end.

He did not draw any magical artifacts, nor did he activate the unfathomable inner power within his body, which was as deep as the cosmic galaxy.

He simply reached into his sleeve and pulled out the Tai Chi jade talisman that gleamed with a warm, lustrous sheen.

then.

In this tense atmosphere, like an utterly bored child, he gently tossed the jade talisman into the air, caught it, and tossed it again.

Each time the jade talisman fell and rubbed against the air, it drew extremely fine spatial cracks in the solidified void.

Gu Changqing looked at Dong Wanggong.

That look sent a chill down the spines of the veteran experts like Zhen Yuanzi who were standing to the side.

That wasn't the way he looked at fellow cultivators, or even at a junior.

That extremely calm, utterly condescending gaze of pity was like that of a high-dimensional deity who controlled the river of time, quietly watching a death row inmate who was about to be sent to the guillotine, yet was still smugly distributing his last meal and candy.

Class disparity!

Even though Dongwanggong was made the head of male immortals by Hongjun, in the eyes of Gu Changqing, the "variable" who stole the origin of another world, he was still just a pathetic piece of code!

"Fellow Daoist, your title of the leader of male immortals is indeed impressive."

Gu Changqing stopped tossing the jade talisman, and his extremely clear and cold voice slowly echoed in the chaotic sea.

He did not refute the seemingly perfect bargaining chip of the Eastern King.

Instead, he turned to the side and glanced casually at Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were standing not far away with faces so gloomy they looked like they were about to burst into tears.

Finally, Gu Changqing's gaze returned to the smiling face of the Eastern King Duke.

With a cold, mocking laugh.

"Unfortunately, this world is like a furnace."

Gu Changqing's tone was completely flat, but every word struck the depths of everyone's souls like thunder from the heavens.

"Fellow Daoist, you can't even see that you're just a piece of meat that's about to be boiled dry, yet you dare to try and drag me into the soup pot?"

Extreme ridicule!

Dimensional reduction attack!

The moment the words "the almost dried-up side dish" reached everyone's ears.

The perfect smile on Dongwanggong's face instantly froze as if frozen in ice. Then, an extremely unpleasant, ashen color spread rapidly across his entire face like poison. The once ferocious azure dragon of destiny above his head seemed to sense some irreversible secret being revealed, and let out a mournful cry, its brightness diminishing by a third!

He was struck by the deepest fear in his heart!

But it was several dozen feet away.

The two brothers, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, felt as if they had been struck by tens of thousands of chaotic divine lightning bolts at the same time, and their bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably!

Those big shots who were just watching the drama might not understand what Gu Changqing was talking about.

But as the two emperors who established the demon race, Di Jun and Tai Yi were exceptionally intelligent individuals!

Gu Changqing's seemingly casual remark was like a sharp dagger piercing the heavens, directly and brutally dissecting the deepest killing trap of the Primordial Heavenly Dao before them.

Hongjun appointed Dongwanggong as the head of the male immortals, not to support him in ruling the prehistoric world! This was a blatant stepping stone, a dead pawn specifically for their demon race's Heavenly Court to establish its authority, to use as a sacrificial offering, and to intensify the conflicts of the great calamity of heaven and earth!

Heaven wants the Eastern King to die, so that they can achieve their demon race's hegemony, and incidentally push the demon race into the furnace of the Great Tribulation!

The way Di Jun and Tai Yi looked at Gu Changqing instantly changed from their previous wariness to an extreme horror that reached the deepest part of their souls.

Is this the kind of vision a disciple who has just been promoted to Golden Immortal can see through?!

He not only saw through the inevitable death of the Eastern King Duke, but also saw through the invisible scheme that Heaven had set up for the demon race! This terrifying insight made Di Jun feel a chill run down his spine.

Gu Changqing didn't bother with the extremely ugly expression on Dong Wanggong's face, which looked like he might explode at any moment.

They also completely ignored the shocked reaction of Di Jun and Tai Yi, as if they had seen a ghost.

He flipped his wrist and casually put the Tai Chi jade talisman back into his sleeve.

While this group of people were still scheming and fighting over scraps in this fishpond arranged by Heaven, his gaze had already been turned to the vast and boundless world.

Gu Changqing turned his head and, following the churning chaotic airflow, his gaze precisely locked onto the center of the distant, prehistoric land.

In that direction, several stealthy streaks of light, moving at incredible speeds, were rapidly ascending from various celestial mountains and blessed lands in the lower realm, all heading with the same goal: to the location of the pillar supporting the sky.

That is Mount Buzhou.

Under the feedback of the origin deduction of the miniature inner universe within Gu Changqing's body, he clearly smelled an extremely vast and rich medicinal fragrance, even mixed with the first wisp of creation power of Pangu, which was breaking through the barrier of the void and spreading across that part of the sky.

A glimmer of genuine interest finally surfaced in Gu Changqing's eyes.

Because he calculated it.

At this juncture, the most extraordinary treasure-hunting opportunity in the primordial world—the [Innate Gourd Vine]—at the foot of Mount Buzhou is about to emerge from the earth and truly appear in the world!

The time has come for him to reap huge profits from the masses.
