Chapter 1520: Lord of Zixiao Mountain, one of the biggest crises in his life
“Reporting to the ancestor, this is all that happened that day. On the way to Zigui City, the disciples and a group of followers accidentally encountered a crack in ti and space and nearly fell into it. At the critical mont, the mysterious young man in white appeared and rescued us…”
In Zixiao Mountain, the glow was vibrant, and the famous peaks lood majestically. This place felt like an ancient world detached from the outside, infused with the strong atmosphere of the immortal family. As far as the eye could see, there were magnificent mountains and rivers, silver waterfalls cascading down, strange pines and cypresses standing tall, lush greenery surrounding them, and large islands sinking and floating in the depths of the sky, all shrouded in clouds and mists of various colors.
Now, within a magnificent palace hidden deep in the void of ti and space, Zi Yunchuan, who had just returned from the Wanzang secret place, knelt respectfully on the ground, detailing how he t Gu Changge.
Inside this grand palace, chaotic light flickered as the laws of ti flowed. Immortal mist perated the air, and many indistinct figures sat on futons around the space. These beings were the elders of Zixiao Mountain, having survived nurous heavenly declines, their strength unfathomable. The re stamp of their feet could easily cause a major earthquake in the outside world, and a single word from them could determine the life and death of countless cultivators.
At the center of the palace stood the current Lord of Zixiao Mountain, his arms crossed behind his back and his back turned to everyone. He was tall, adorned with a robe embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars on his wide sleeves, and a purple-golden crown rested upon his head. He exuded a majestic aura that commanded surrender from the depths of one’s heart, like a true god who had transcended the long river of ti.
If one were to count the strongest figures recognized by the Xi Yuan civilization today, the Lord of Zixiao Mountain would undoubtedly hold a prominent position. He had beco enlightened countless years ago, his true form spanning many epochs. He had experienced many small and large purges and was once known as a fearso killer long ago.
At this mont, upon hearing Zi Yunchuan’s report, everyone in the hall focused their attention, appearing quite concerned. The Lord of Zixiao Mountain, with even more profound eyes, remained with his back turned to everyone, saying little. However, within the depths of his gaze, it seed as though a scene was unfolding, as he attempted to deduce the circumstances from Zi Yunchuan’s words to ascertain the truth.
Zi Yunchuan lowered his head and knelt there, astonished that he had been summoned by the ancestor himself upon returning to Zixiao Mountain due to this matter. While he felt nervous, he dared not hide anything and recounted everything he knew. However, he found himself feeling a bit dazed and incredulous. When the group of elders inquired about Gu Changge’s na and origin, the mory of that part of his mind began to blur, as if it were slipping away. He knew Gu Changge’s surna, yet he could neither ntion it nor even think about it.
The incredible power of this phenonon shocked Zi Yunchuan, leaving him feeling cold and shivering.
“Go down; Susu stay behind,” the Lord of Zixiao Mountain finally spoke, breaking the tense silence. He did not look back, as if still imrsed in thought.
Zi Yunchuan was montarily taken aback, then glanced at the girl in the purple dress, who also hung her head, and hurriedly exited the hall without asking further questions. The skin of the girl in the purple skirt was like white porcelain—delicate and fair. Her figure was exquisite, with ample curves, making her a rare and stunning beauty; she was Zi Susu, the renowned heavenly maiden of Zixiao Mountain.
Zi Yunchuan couldn’t understand why Zi Susu had also been summoned by the ancestor, just like him. Could it be related to Ye Suyi’s matter?
“According to Zi Yunchuan’s words, he did not lie, but it is still difficult to determine whether that mysterious young man in white erged from those taboo and strange places.” After Zi Yunchuan left, the other elders in the hall spoke slowly. Although the conflict between Xian Chu and the Demon Court was arousing tensions, it was not their primary concern. Many forces and ethnic groups in the Xi Yuan Civilization were questioning and speculating about Gu Changge’s origins, and Zixiao Mountain was no exception.
“I’m afraid things are not that simple. If he truly ca from the rumored taboo and strange place, things would be much easier,” the Lord of Zixiao Mountain said, shaking his head, his eyes revealing a depth of thought. He had already deduced everything that Zi Yunchuan had reported, and the young man had nothing to hide. However, when he tried to use this information to deduce Gu Changge’s origin, he encountered significant obstacles. A vast and thick fog enveloped his vision; the sky darkened, and silence prevailed in all directions. If the deduction continued, even he might face unforeseen consequences.
This was the first ti the Lord of Zixiao Mountain had encountered such a phenonon, and it was highly likely that he could beco lost in the deduction and never return. Although he appeared calm, he had been in a cold sweat monts ago.
“Don’t worry too much about this in advance; just wait and see what unfolds. If a calamity is to occur, it will likely be Xian Chu that faces it first. Why should we rush?” The Lord of Zixiao Mountain snapped back from his thoughts and waved his hand, signaling all the elders to leave.
Before the Great Land of Xian Chu was established under Chu Gucheng, the Lord of Zixiao Mountain had plotted against him to seek fortune. He had even ventured to find the world from which Chu Gucheng erged, disregarding the terrifying backlash and cause and effect, attempting to alter the long river of ti to strike down Chu Gucheng in his weak past.
At that ti, it was one of the biggest crises that Chu Gucheng faced in his life, and he nearly fell. In the end, it was his Master, Dharma Sage, who intervened, leveraging his life-and-death friendship with a powerful being from Xu Dan Civilization to stop the Lord of Zixiao Mountain and save Chu Gucheng. This incident was not a secret within the Xi Yuan civilization. Although Chu Gucheng ultimately survived, those who witnessed the events knew he paid a tragic price.
Now, having established Xian Chu and risen to beco a top figure in the Xi Yuan civilization, Chu Gucheng had never forgotten his hatred for the Lord of Zixiao Mountain. While they maintained a facade of cordiality, he was determined to take revenge on the Lord of Zixiao Mountain whenever the opportunity arose. Everyone in Zixiao Mountain was well aware of this, and they naturally hoped that Xian Chu and the Demon Court would engage in a fierce battle, leading to mutual destruction.

“Is there sothing you are hiding from ?” After all the elders had left, the Lord of Zixiao Mountain turned to look at Zi Susu, who was also kneeling on the ground with her head bowed.
