Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

It seemed that Gu Changjin had some interest in Ye Wudi.

Chu Tianheng smiled and walked over to his side.

"Elder Gu has also heard of Ye Wudi?"

Gu Changjin shook his head.

"I have lived in the Western Wilderness for a long time and know little about the affairs of the Central Plains."

Chu Tianheng's use of the title "elder" wasn't entirely unfounded.

A cultivator who has returned to the Void Realm is qualified to serve as an elder in external affairs and govern a region within the Supreme Profound Yang Dao Sect.

Although Gu Changjin has not yet officially returned to the sect, the two share the same lineage, so addressing each other as elders can be considered as establishing a good relationship in advance.

As for those at the Nascent Soul stage, they don't receive this treatment, since the Central Continent has never lacked Nascent Soul cultivators.

Chu Tianheng said gently, "It's normal for Elder Gu to find it strange if it's his first time meeting him."

"Most of the famous prodigies in Zhongzhou have sects, aristocratic families, or senior masters standing behind them."

"Only Ye Wudi is a rogue cultivator."

"It is precisely this rogue cultivator who has made the younger generation of all sects feel suffocated."

Gu Changjin raised an eyebrow.

Tell me about it.

Chu Tianheng pondered for a moment, as if he were sorting out Ye Wudi's experiences over the years.

"This person first appeared in Zhongzhou more than a hundred years ago."

"At that time, his cultivation level was not high and his origin was unknown. He only angered a local sect by saving a few mortals who were being chased."

Everyone thought he wouldn't live more than three days.

"As a result, three days later, he single-handedly defeated that sect."

Gu Changjin nodded slightly.

The script is familiar, even a bit old.

Chu Tianheng continued, "That sect also has a Nascent Soul stage power behind it."

"The Nascent Soul faction is now affiliated with a Divine Transformation sect."

"Every time Ye Wudi gets into trouble, everyone thinks he's going to die this time."

"But every time, it's the other person who dies first."

"Moreover, he grew stronger with each battle, progressing from the Golden Core stage all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, and then to the Deity Transformation stage."

"Now, although I am only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, I have already surpassed the Void Return stage."

Gu Changjin looked at the young man in black in the distance.

At this moment, Ye Wudi had already reached the black portal, and the people around him made way for him.

He seemed to be used to this kind of gaze, with no smugness on his face, nor did he deliberately put on an indifferent expression; he simply stood there quietly.

Chu Tianheng's tone became somewhat subtle as he said this.

"besides."

"This person's luck is ridiculously good."

"Walk into a mountain and you may encounter an ancient cave; fall into a river and you may find a primordial spiritual object."

"When you're being hunted by a strong opponent, you often end up encountering an even stronger enemy. The two sides start fighting, and the opponent gets the advantage."

"More importantly..."

Chu Tianheng paused for a moment.

Gu Changjin laughed and said, "And a confidante?"

Chu Tianheng's smile froze slightly.

"Elder Gu's guess was accurate."

Throughout Ye Wudi's journey, he has never lacked female companions.

There are demonic witches from the Demonic Sect, legitimate daughters of reclusive noble families, and holy maidens from the Ten Great Sects.

Those women might initially be hostile to him, but in the end, they would always become entangled with him for various reasons.

One of them was a direct descendant of a Supreme Elder of the Supreme Xuan Yang Dao Sect.

When Chu Tianheng got to this point, his expression became noticeably unnatural.

Gu Changjin understood immediately.

It seems to be another victim.

He showed a look of understanding.

"Young heroes are bound to be popular."

Chu Tianheng chuckled dryly.

"Elder Gu is right."

Gu Changjin verbally agreed, but inwardly he was thinking to himself.

This script is just a fantasy novel, isn't it? What? The cultivation world is involved too?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he had entered some other world.

However, despite its age, the fact that it has come this far proves that the script is indeed effective.

During the ensuing wait, Gu Changjin did not speak again.

On the surface, he was simply standing in the camp of the Supreme Xuan Yang Dao Sect, resting with his eyes closed.

In fact, strands of Dao Yuan are constantly flowing into the Blue Star Realm Seed.

Inside the Dao Fruit, the azure world seed slowly rotated, and the illusory images of oceans, land, and stars became increasingly clear.

The boundary is still a long way from the true virtual world.

But with each additional drop of essence infused, there will be a greater degree of growth.

Gu Changjin also kept an eye on his surroundings.

After Ye Wudi arrived.

The faces of the prodigies from each sect were not very good.

Some reacted with apprehension, some with hostility, but a few others had very strange reactions.

Although there was little hatred in his eyes, he deliberately put on a face of clenched teeth.

Not long after, a young man in a golden robe stepped out from the Burning Heaven Divine Sect's camp.

"Ye Wudi! You still dare to come to the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm?"

The young man in the golden robe spoke with a voice as loud as thunder.

Everyone nearby looked over.

Ye Wudi raised his eyes.

"Who are you?"

In short, the young man in the golden robe blushed instantly.

"You!! You! You killed my kinsman outside Sunset City back then, and now you dare to pretend you don't recognize me?"

Ye Wudi thought for a moment, then waved his hand helplessly.

"I've killed too many people."

"I can't remember."

Upon hearing this, a low chuckle rippled through the crowd.

The golden-robed youth's face grew even uglier, flames surging around his body as if he were about to make a move.

But in the end, he just snorted coldly.

"You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands after you enter the Crimson Abyss Heavenly Palace."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Gu Changjin watched his retreating figure, his eyes flickering slightly.

No! This person isn't here to provoke us.

It's more like a reminder to everyone.

He has a grudge against Ye Wudi, and he will definitely make a move after entering the secret realm.

But if you really want to kill someone, why shout it out beforehand?

Are you worried that Ye Wudi isn't prepared?

Chu Tianheng noticed Gu Changjin's gaze and explained with a smile.

"That is Xiao Lie, the true disciple of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect."

"His cousin did indeed die at the hands of Ye Wudi."

Gu Changjin simply nodded.

Without being explicitly stated, Ye Wudi's script seemed genuine.

These prodigies' reactions, however, seemed staged.

This is a bit interesting.

Another half hour passed.

Rumble!

The black portal standing before everyone finally trembled.

The ancient patterns on the door lit up one by one, first dark red, then brighter and brighter, and finally like lava flowing along the entire doorway.

At the center of the portal, a crimson vortex slowly took shape, and through the vortex, one could see another world.

Amidst the churning sea of ​​clouds, colossal palaces floated above the clouds, their entire structures cast from crimson jade, their eaves shaped like dragons, and their massive pillars supporting the sky.

Even the smallest of these palaces was hundreds of feet tall, and its gates were like mountains.

By any measure, it doesn't look like a dwelling built for normal humans.

A hint of doubt appeared in Gu Changjin's eyes, while Chu Tianheng seemed to have been paying attention to him all along.

Upon seeing this, he immediately explained, "The original owner of the Crimson Abyss Secret Realm, although a human cultivator, was a body cultivator."

"It is said that it has fused with the bloodline of some ancient alien race. When its physical body unfolds, it is over a hundred feet tall, which is why the Crimson Abyss Heavenly Palace is so enormous."

Gu Changjin nodded, saying nothing but making a mental note of it.

After the crimson vortex stabilized completely, the group did not move immediately.

Although this secret realm has been opened several times, who knows if something might have gone wrong?

Of course, more importantly, they don't want to be the first to stick their neck out or pave the way for others.

Ye Wudi, who was standing at the very front, looked around and suddenly smiled.

"We've waited so long, the door's open, and nobody dares to come in? Ridiculous!"

Done.

He took a step forward, and his entire body disappeared into the crimson vortex, vanishing completely.

Xiao Lie, the member of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect, looked in the direction where Ye Wudi had disappeared, his eyes darkening.

"Heh!! Getting in doesn't guarantee getting out."

With a flick of his sleeve, he led the large group of cultivators gathered behind him into the vortex.

Their appearance clearly indicated that they were preparing to go in and surround and kill Ye Wudi.

Chu Tianheng sighed as he watched this scene.

"The feud between Xiao Lie and Ye Wudi is indeed quite significant."

"He originally had a fiancée with whom he was engaged."

"later……"

Chu Tianheng didn't continue, but Gu Changjin nodded knowingly.

Well, another victim.

He glanced at Chu Tianheng, whose face showed a bitter expression of shared misfortune.

But that bitterness appeared too quickly and disappeared too quickly, as if it had been prepared in advance.

Gu Changjin chuckled inwardly. It seemed that this true disciple of the Supreme Profound Yang Dao Sect was not as simple as he appeared.

"Gentlemen."

Chu Tianheng quickly regained his composure and turned to look at the crowd.

"The Crimson Abyss Heavenly Palace has been opened."

"Since you all come from the lineage of my Supreme Profound Yang Dao Sect, you should naturally look after each other after entering."

Several Void Returners nodded in agreement, and they also released their juniors who were with them.

Gu Changjin flicked his sleeves, and Gu Qingxiao and Gu Xiaolou landed back beside him.

Upon seeing so many talented individuals from Central Plains around them, the two became noticeably more serious.

Gu Changjin took out two protective jade talismans and placed them in the hands of the two people respectively.

"If you encounter someone you can't defeat, crush this talisman."

"If you encounter something you don't understand, just take it and deal with it later."

"Also, don't easily trust others."

Gu Xiaolou blinked but didn't say anything more. Gu Qingxiao simply nodded in response.

After explaining everything, the portal at this point basically only had a few Void Return and Spirit Transformation stages left.

Chu Tianheng and the two elders greeted everyone, and then everyone stepped into the gate together.
