Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 276 - 257: Emperor Gu Takes Action and Returns to the Abyss (Double - )_2

Chapter 276: Chapter 257: Emperor Gu Takes Action and Returns to the Abyss (Double Chapter)_2

"Song Changming may treat those around him well, but although he seems amiable and spontaneous, he is an extremely dangerous person. Many people have died by his hand: Outer Demons, Martial Arts Powerhouses, Marshal Generals, and even former princes!

He never cares about the identity or status of those he kills. Anyone he considers an enemy will not escape death—it’s always been this way..."

Gu Wenhui has to say, he understands Song Changming quite well; he still remembers the things of the past.

Gu Yang heard the final words "prince," and his heart inexplicably trembled; a chill ran down his spine, and he finally understood the meaning behind Gu Wenhui’s words.

Gu Wenhui summoned him overnight to reprimand him, more out of concern for his son’s safety than anything else, not wanting him to act foolishly and lose his life!

"I, I understand..." Gu Yang bowed again, saying.

Two days later.

Gu Yang arrived in Wangyue Prefecture in a hurry and went to Liu Residence.

This time, he finally saw Song Changming in the courtyard.

Upon meeting him, he bowed deeply as a gesture of great respect, then sincerely apologized, lowering himself completely, without a shred of arrogance.

Song Changming glanced at the whip marks left on Gu Yang’s face and body, knowing surely it was Gu Wenhui’s work.

"I have prepared some humble gifts; I hope Hero Song will kindly accept them." Gu Yang timidly stole a glance at Song Changming and did not refer to himself as a prince, showing exceptional humility.

Then he produced a letter he carried closely and handed it over.

"This is a letter from my father, the emperor, to you..."

Song Changming took the letter and opened it to read.

The letter was indeed personally written by Gu Wenhui, and he did not assume a superior stance; he similarly lowered himself.

It spoke of some past events, expressing regret that Song Changming did not accept the position of the Da Lai State Preceptor, and at the end, mentioned that his son offended Song Changming due to his own inadequate supervision.

He had already disciplined him severely, hoping to receive Song Changming’s forgiveness, and assured that such incidents would not happen again.

"You are that Prince Yu? So young, yet your temper is quite large. My master is not someone you can see or take away whenever you wish."

Su Qingqing finished practicing her calligraphy at that time, caught sight of Gu Yang, and couldn’t help furrowing her brows and speaking irritably.

"What the young lady says is correct; it is my... my fault. I came today to apologize, hoping the young lady will forgive me..." Gu Yang quickly added.

"Hmph!" Su Qingqing turned her head, not willing to pay much attention to this bothersome fellow.

"Since the Emperor has spoken, this matter will end here. You can return." Song Changming finished reading the letter and did not say much more.

Gu Yang opened his mouth, initially wanting to say something, but ultimately closed his mouth, gave a nod, and left the residence, not daring to linger longer.

Facing the pointing fingers of people on the street, Gu Yang’s face flushed with embarrassment, and he boarded the carriage, hiding from view.

This matter concluded. The next day, with his cultivation nearly stabilized, Song Changming did not delay further, heading to the Bottomless Abyss in the Outer Domain.

Once again, he traveled light, riding a horse alone.

Over ten years, this was not his first trip there; almost every two or three years, he would go to investigate and observe the abyss as preparation for future crossing.

This time was no exception, and with his cultivation improved, he planned to attempt it once more.

Just as he was about to leave Celestial Pass Mountain, a voice suddenly floated to him.

"May I ask if you are Young Friend Song?"

Song Changming reined in his horse, looked up to listen, and saw an old man in a simple long robe, sitting cross-legged on a protruding rock in the distance.

His white brows and beard, with a string of large beads hanging from his neck.

His appearance seemed neither monk nor Taoist, quite peculiar.

"Who are you?" Song Changming asked with a frown.

With his powerful Spiritual Perception, he could sense the man’s strong and lasting aura, but hardly any Inner Qi fluctuations were detectable, making it difficult to gauge his cultivation and strength.

His intuition told him this elder was not an ordinary Martial Artist.

"I am Minghuo; I wonder if young friend has heard of me?" The elder stood and spoke loudly, his voice echoing in the valley.

Song Changming’s eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands in courtesy, saying, "So it is the esteemed elder from Yuxu Mountain. The younger generation has long admired your name."

Master Minghuo, when Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang were still around, this master overshadowed Wangyue Pavilion Master Su Yaoguang, ranking second on the Celestial List!

He is well-known as the foremost powerhouse of Yuxu Mountain!

Since Nan Wuji’s departure, he has occupied the top position on the Celestial List for ten years!

Though Song Changming has never visited Yuxu Mountain, he had heard of it back then.

Each year, Yuxu Mountain hosts a Peach Blossom Assembly, distributing eighteen Flat Peaches to eighteen Martial Artists who excel in the assembly, aiding them in opening their Nether Sea to reach the Qi Cultivation Realm.

To this day, the Peach Blossom Assembly at Yuxu Mountain holds significant weight in the Da Lai Martial Realm, somewhat akin to an annual Martial Arts Assembly.

In the past, Song Changming had no way to open his Nether Sea and had considered going to Yuxu Mountain to participate in the Peach Blossom Assembly, intending to take a Flat Peach back.

However, it so happened that the Snake Dragon transformed and birthed the Dragon Transformation Pearl, solving his problem of opening the Nether Sea.

Thus, he never went to Yuxu Mountain.

Now, so many years have passed, the young man who once struggled to open a Nether Sea can now be treated with respect by the foremost powerhouse of Yuxu Mountain.

"Haha, young friend is now renowned far and wide; everyone in the Martial Realm knows of you." Master Minghuo descended, praising.

"You’re too kind, esteemed elder. May I ask why you are here?" Song Changming replied politely.

"I plan to visit Dragon Gate Ridge this time." Master Minghuo suddenly said.
