along the way.
Gu Heng could see many flying ships from various immortal civilizations shuttling back and forth, with powerful Daoist practitioners using their physical bodies to fly through the starry seas of their civilizations' territories.
Many people turned their attention to this technologically advanced warship, but they were not surprised.
Although practitioners generally do not believe in "science," which is a misleading and heretical path, no matter how heretical or heretical it is, as long as it is powerful enough, it is awesome.
The saying goes that might makes right, and those "ordinary people" of technological civilization can be said to have earned their reputation through the blood and suffering of their enemies.
Everyone acknowledges the power of technology, especially the warships of technological civilizations. They frequently appear in clashes between smaller, less developed powers, and whenever they do, they are usually the key weapons that decide the outcome of a battle!
It's not something particularly common or novel.
and so.
When they saw the technologically advanced warships appear, they didn't react much. They just glanced at them curiously a few times before looking away and no longer paying attention.
Many days later.
The Tianqi spacecraft passed through the boundary wall of the Purple Heaven.
After entering the Purple Heaven, the surrounding scenery became completely familiar.
There was sunshine during the day and the sky and earth were clearly distinct. For Gu Heng, who hadn't seen normal sunlight and moonlight for so long, this was truly a relief.
The Purple Heaven truly lived up to its name; the sky was filled with an unusual purple hue, which looked quite Daoist and was also rather soothing to the eyes. Having finally left the Star Sea, Gu Heng decided not to stay in the Central Hub any longer. He led Xiaobai, Yuezi, and Ling directly onto the deck of the Apocalypse, where they were greeted by an extremely refreshing celestial aura.
"Phew, finally I don't have to be stuck inside anymore."
Gu Heng let out a long breath and looked up at the sky, which was filled with the aura of immortals.
"This place might be more suitable for me, but unfortunately I can't stay for long."
The Immortal Civilization seemed like a good place, but unfortunately it was enemy territory. Gu Heng didn't like playing dirty tricks, even though Gu Xitong had told him that all his past "traces" had been erased and that unless he saw it with his own eyes, there was almost no risk of his identity being exposed.
The point is to prevent him from being too conspicuous, lest he attract the attention of some ancient, immortal beings, which in turn attracts the attention of the epochal gods, and then he's finished. Having said all that, Gu Xitong's meaning is that there's still a lot of room for maneuver to avoid revealing his identity, and there's no need to be overly cautious.
Gu Heng, however, still prefers to be more sensitive.
If he could take Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier away from the Immortal Dao Civilization in one go during this trip, that would be ideal.
If not...
We can only take a long-term approach then.
"Can't stay long? Why does the master say that?"
Xiao Bai asked in confusion.
At this moment, Gu Hengfang realized that Xiaobai had not heard his previous conversation with Gu Xitong. They did not know his true identity, which was actually the infamous Madman Enemy of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
It's better not to let them know. Gu Heng himself is finding this situation extremely difficult to process, and he keeps trying to reassure himself...
If they find out the truth, what will happen?
"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that I don't plan to stay here for long. I need to check out other civilizations too."
Gu Heng gave a casual answer, intending to get away with it.
Xiao Bai didn't really care whether Gu Heng's words had a hidden meaning or not; he just went wherever his master went.
"By the way, Xiaobai, you've been to the Immortal Civilization before, so which direction is the Jade Emperor Palace in?"
Gu Heng looked around and saw strange and majestic mountains shrouded in ethereal mist, perfectly fitting the stereotype of a "treasure land of immortals." However, there were no immortal palaces or cities in sight, suggesting that this place was also a "desolate wilderness."
He didn't know the way, so he could only point to Xiaobai.
But Xiao Bai said instead, "Master, don't worry about where the Jade Emperor Palace is, someone is coming." As soon as he finished speaking, the mist in front of them rippled like water, and an ancient-style ship slowly sailed out.
The ship seemed to be carved from jade, its entire body radiating a precious light. Countless mysterious Dao patterns swirled around its hull. However, as exquisite as it was, Gu Heng could tell at a glance that the ship was indeed rather...small.
It's said to be small, but actually, the Apocalypse is too big.
Moreover, this thing from the immortal civilization doesn't look as good as that from the technological civilization. If my Apocalypse ship were to fire directly, I guarantee that any ship that dares to come close to me will be reborn into another world.
"There's an unusual stranger here."
A cool, clear voice came from the ship.
Gu Heng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman dressed in a plain white robe standing on the bow deck of the ship.
Around her stood several cultivators dressed in identical cloud-patterned Daoist robes, their auras heavy, their eyes sharp as hawks, warily scrutinizing the Apocalypse. Clearly, they too understood that this warship was far beyond what their ships could easily challenge. "A level nine main warship of a technological civilization, built with level eight rule technology, equipped with level nine observation technology weapons. A single attack from its main cannon must have the power equivalent to a second-stage Creation Realm cultivator. After an irreversible, extreme recharge, its power is sufficient to injure a first-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator..."
The young woman silently turned her gaze to Gu Heng.
"To unleash such a powerful weapon within the Purple Heaven, I hope you do not have ill intentions."
She made no attempt to hide her hostility.
Gu Heng was quite surprised by her knowledge of the warship.
Wow, this is definitely an expert!
For a cultivator to have such a deep understanding of technological civilization is certainly not knowledge that can be learned from books.
He did not answer her question, but instead asked, "May I ask your name, young lady, and what brings you here?"
"Pu Yunyuan, Inspector of the Purple Cloud Heaven Boundary Wall." The woman who introduced herself looked at Gu Heng from afar: "The technological civilization and the immortal civilization have never had a deep relationship and have little contact. Now that the technological civilization's level nine main warship has entered the Purple Cloud Heaven, it is my duty to come and inquire about the situation."
"So you are the Inspector. My apologies for my rudeness."
Gu Heng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Border patrols, arriving in their own boats would be too conspicuous, and their firepower is probably top-notch, so this patrol officer from Pu came over immediately.
She seemed to know a lot about it, and from what she said, the main gun of the Apocalypse was quite powerful!
Even those at the Creation Realm can't withstand it; if they're charged to their limit, it could even injure those at the Nirvana Realm!
"What is your name, and what brings you to Zixiao Heaven?"
Pu Yunyuan asked.
"My name is Gu Heng. I'm here to see an acquaintance. She's cultivating in the Jade Emperor Palace and might hold some kind of official position. I don't know much about it, so I plan to go to the Jade Emperor Palace to take a look first."
Gu Heng also spoke frankly, not hiding his purpose.
If everyone is more honest, there won't be any problems.
Gu Heng?
Upon hearing this name, Pu Yunyuan sized up Gu Heng and then burst out laughing.
"It's really ironic that you use this name to walk the world."
This person is probably from a technologically advanced civilization, yet he's bearing the name of a sworn enemy of technological civilization. Pu Yunyuan has seen worshippers of epochal enemies before, but a worshipper from a technologically advanced civilization...
strange.
Family, we've really encountered a weirdo this time.
