The ordinary items invented by an ordinary man could defy the laws of physics. No one would believe it.
Complications in simplicity?
TThe Big Elder was perturbed. “Incredible, unimaginable!”
Yao ngji sighed loudly. He said, sounding lonely and pitiful, “Yesterday, I visited the expert. He explained to how the lightning rod works. He said things like statics, conductor, circuit, and more. I’m too dumb to understand a word of it. Otherwise, I could’ve learned sothing from it.”
Zhou Dacheng said, “It’s not easy understanding the expert. His level is probably too high for us to reach.”
Yao ngji suddenly asked, “Oh, right. There’s a change in the realm. Have any of you tried contacting our ancestors yet?”
Qin Manyun replied, “Master, we tried.”
“How was it?”
Qin Manyun slightly frowned and said, “Indeed, it’s unlike our previous tries when there was no reaction at all. This ti, the ancestry stone lit up. However, communicating with our ancestors is still hard.”
“Looks like the bridge to immortality was reconnected.”
Yao ngji nodded and continued, “I guess that it started to reconnect when there was a change in our realm. Most parts of the bridge are probably still disconnected. On top of that, we’re not putting in enough effort. That’s why it’s not fully connected yet and we can’t communicate with our ancestors. There’s no rush. Let’s wait and see how things turn out.”
anwhile, at Azure Ville.
In the deepest basent in the palace.
It was a large basent but it was empty. There were only three items there in total—a long wooden table, a milky white stone, and a stove for incense.
Gu Changqing brought the Gu siblings along with the three elders of Azure Ville to the basent. They politely stood in front of the wooden table. Everyone looked serious.
“Alright, let’s begin!”
Gu Changqing took a deep breath and stepped forward.
He bowed three tis at the milky white stone on the wooden table. Then, he bit his tongue. He spat blood on the stone.
Suddenly, the milky white stone started to shine, illuminating the basent.
Gu Changqing and the others jumped. They did not dare to delay any further so they quickly lit up the long incense sticks.
They held the incense sticks and said devotedly, “I’m the eleventh generation Azure Ville Lord, Gu Changqing. I welco the arrival of our ancestors!”
The smoke coming from the incense sticks changed. Instead of flowing upwards, it flowed sideways, toward the milky white stone. The incense smoke lded together with the stone as it started to shine brightly.
Everyone went pale visibly fast.
They held their breaths. They did not dare to breathe loudly because they were extrely nervous.
Buzz!
Waves of aura spread in the air.
The bright milky white stone bead light up into the sky. Then, a figure slowly appeared.
The figure was baffled for a while. “Changqing?”
Gu Changqing instantly teared up as if he saw his closest loved ones. He stepped forward and sobbed, “Grandpa!”
The figure teared up, too, and yelled excitedly, “It’s really you, my grandson!”
Gu Changqing hurriedly called on the Gu siblings, “Grandpa, this is my son and my daughter, Gu Ziyao and Gu Ziyu. You two, hurry up and greet your great-grandpa.”
The Gu siblings were very nervous. “Great-grandpa.”
“Haha, a son and a daughter! Nice!” laughed the figure. It was shaking in excitent.
After a while of laughing, the figure said, “Oh, yeah, where’s your father? I rember before I transcended he was already at his pri in the Cross Tribulation.”
Gu Changqing looked upset and sighed. “Three thousand years ago, the demons were unruly. They caused a lot of trouble when my father was sealing the demon entrance. It was a successful seal but he died because of it.”
The figure looked upset, too. He sighed and said, “It’s normal for a cultivator to constantly be in life-and-death situations. Who among the eleven Azure Ville Lords, including you, isn’t an elite? However, only three Azure Ville Lords, including myself, have successfully transcended into Immortals! The journey to immortality is uncertain and our future is unpredictable. A lot of cultivators died!”
Gu Changqing clenched his jaw and said, “Three thousand years ago, the demons knew that the bridge to immortality was broken. We couldn’t get help from Immortals so they were brave enough to attack Azure Ville. It was a violent and cruel year in the Immortal Realm. Many cultivators died and a lot were injured. It was a damned year!
“The bridge to immortality has been broken for many years. The Immortal Realm beca weak, and the demons had an upper hand. Thankfully, you all made it,” the figure said in a surprised tone. “However, the bridge to immortality is, unexpectedly, starting to reconnect.”
“Grandpa, I know sothing about that. Soone appeared in our realm...” Gu Changqing said respectfully in a trembling voice. “A Saint!”
“Saint...?”
The figure shook his head and thought it was ridiculous. He said, “Impossible. Saints are a myth even in the Above Immortal Realm. It’s a character that only exists in eldritch tis. You don’t know what you’re talking about, so stop spewing nonsense. It’s alright to be laughed at, but don’t risk offending an actual Saint.”
Gu Changqing hurriedly said, “Grandpa, I’m being serious! A few days ago, the Liu Family Ancestor was summoned but was instantly killed by the expert’s writings. It pierced a hole in the sky! I was there!”
The figure staggered back in shock. “The Liu Family Ancestor is from the Beginner Immortal realm. There’s plenty of Immortals that could kill him. However, if he was killed in the Immortal Realm, could it be the work of a Golden Immortal? Or maybe it was with the help of an eldritch item? But those items shouldn’t exist in the Immortal Realm!”
He thought of all sorts of possibilities. He would have thought it was a ridiculous joke if he did not hear it from his trusted grandson.
Gu Changqing clenched his jaw and said, “Grandpa, the expert also left a painting.”
“Oh? Show it to . Maybe I can sense sothing from it and figure out if it’s true,” said the figure intriguingly. He was excited.
Gu Changqing took out the painting scroll and cautioned him, “Grandpa, be ready.”
The figure smiled and said proudly, “There’s no need for that. The first Azure Ville Lord who beca an Immortal was a talented elite. He has his own sect in the Above Immortal Realm, too. We’re not blood-related but we both ca from Azure Ville. He took care of , so naturally, I’ve lived a good life. Open up, will you?”
Gu Changqing nodded and slowly unscrolled the painting
Suddenly, gold light shined from the painting as endless gold flas poured out of it.
Gu Changqing did not feel much because he was not on that level yet. However, the figure was imdiately stumped. The painting was only half visible at that point but already, he felt an endless powerful aura coming from it. It made him feel buzzed and he almost blacked out.
Powerful, holy, terrifying, and...hot!
Scary, horrifying!
The figure almost faded into thin air. He hurriedly said in a weak voice, “Stop! Stop opening it, I can’t take it anymore! Hurry up and cover the painting. Try and summon again, summon...”
