Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 10: Indestructible Calamity Body, Empress Gu Qingge

Two dominant forces existed in the northern wilderness – the Gu family and the Northern Polar Heaven City.

Being one of the top three powerful forces in the region, the Gu family was already formidable. However, in recent years, they rapidly expanded their influence and surpassed the Su family and the White Cloud Dynasty in power.

Consequently, many other forces in the Northern Polar Heaven City sought to curry favor with the Gu family, hoping to align themselves with them and avoid potential outcomes in the future.

Numerous factions in the northern wilderness had realized that the rise of the Gu family was unstoppable, and they might eventually absorb the Su family and the White Cloud Dynasty. Once this happened, the Gu family had a high chance of becoming a top-tier force.

Failure to take sides in advance would result in retribution for the smaller forces existing beneath the three dominant factions. They had no choice but to try to please the Gu family to avoid this situation.

As a result, the Northern Polar Heaven City became bustling with activity. Various prominent figures and sect leaders from different regions came to pay their respects, seeking to congratulate the Gu family. The Gu family’s experts welcomed them with smiles.

“Wow, another sect master has come. That one is the North Sword Sect’s Sect Master, an Eternal Realm Venerable, just below the three top-tier forces!”

“Even he has come to the Gu family. It seems that the Gu family will truly dominate the northern wilderness!”

“The North Sword Sect and even top-tier forces from other regions have sent their strong experts to congratulate them. It is said that there is even an elder from a top-tier force. The Gu family’s prestige is remarkable!”

Within the Northern Polar Heaven City and in the Drunken Immortal Tower, some powerful individuals savored the finest spirits and watched the various sect masters coming and going, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The Gu family had displayed terrifying strength in recent years, shocking everyone. Compared to them, both the Su family and the White Cloud Dynasty were inferior.

The Su family suffered heavy losses in confronting the Gu family, even losing two Eternal Realm experts. The outcome of these battles showed the Gu family’s terrifying power, completely suppressing the Su family and forcing them into retreat.

“If the Gu family can truly unify the Northern Wasteland and produce another saint, they will undoubtedly become a top-tier power!”

“The Su family is in a dire situation. The Gu family has sent troops to attack the Purple Profound Heaven. They aim to uproot the Su family completely.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in Daoist robes smiled faintly and revealed significant news.

“What?! Are they really so ruthless? Isn’t the Gu family afraid that the Su family will fight back even if they are pushed to desperation? The Su family has a Longevity Ancestor, a ruthless individual who has slain three semi-saints!”

“Isn’t the Longevity Ancestor enough to deal with the Gu family if he appears?”

In the tavern, many people shook their heads in disbelief. Though the Gu family was powerful and had suppressed the Su family, they believed that as long as the Longevity Ancestor was present, the Gu family couldn’t be too arrogant.

“Hehe, you don’t understand. The Gu family’s strength is not simple. Just because the Su family has a Longevity Ancestor, does that mean the Gu family doesn’t? The Gu family’s ancestor, tsk tsk, has already made a breakthrough!”

“And the Longevity Ancestor of the Su family has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, attempting to break through to the Saint realm. However, they have yet to appear after centuries, so, naturally, they failed…”

“Now that the Gu family’s ancestor has succeeded, the outcome is obvious.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the robe grinned mischievously.

“Hiss!”

“So you mean the Su family is finished?”

“Gu family’s ancestor, could it be…”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd’s expressions changed. They were all powerful individuals. Among them were those who had reached the Law Phase Realm. With a little deduction, they understood the implications and were amazed.

For a moment, all eyes turned to the middle-aged man in cultivator robes, and their expressions also began to change.

“Master, you’re truly remarkable. May I ask where you learned your skills?” a senior Law Phase expert politely asked.

“A humble and nameless cultivator like me is hardly worth mentioning. As for my lineage? I’m just an ordinary practitioner with limited skills. I would never dare to falsely claim any prestigious background,” the middle-aged man replied modestly.

…

At the Gu family residence:

“Cough, cough, cough…”

“I… am I still alive?”

In a secluded room, a delicate and stunning girl with an extremely pale complexion slowly opened her eyes and looked confused at the ceiling.

Shortly after, her gaze sharpened as if countless thoughts flashed through her mind. An ancient and noble aura permeated the air as if she were an Empress who had reigned for countless ages.

“I am Gu Qingge, the Empress of Eternal Tribulation, the ruler of the Eternal Heaven Realm, the one who wields the Crimson Lotus Immortal Fire. But didn’t I perish in that battle? Did I die?”

The exquisitely beautiful girl murmured, her complexion constantly changing, filled with complexity.

“I see…”

But soon, she calmed down, her eyes flashing as she looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar room, letting out a soft sigh with a somewhat indifferent tone.

“I did die, but I have been reborn. I’ve returned to the ancient era when I was still part of the Gu family!”

“Gu family, Gu Cangqiong!!!”

Gu Qingge spoke to herself, and when mentioning the Gu family and Gu Cangqiong, her voice carried immense resentment, killing intent, and various other emotions. Gu Cangqiong was the name of the Gu family’s ancestor.

Her name was Gu Qingge, and she was a member of the Gu family, belonging to the ninth branch. Several years ago, it was discovered that she possessed the Indestructible Calamity Bone, an extraordinary physique of the highest caliber.

Originally, this discovery was a joyous event that brought great pride to the family. The elders of the ninth branch were elated, hoping to nurture Gu Qingge to become a Sage or even a Great Saint, leading the family to prosperity.

However, it was unfortunate that there was also a formidable genius named Gu Yi, possessing an ordinary divine physique that paled compared to Gu Qingge’s Indestructible Calamity Bone within the main lineage.

To prevent the ninth branch from becoming a threat, the Lady of the Gu family secretly plotted with a few maids, using ancient secret techniques to extract Gu Qingge’s Indestructible Calamity Bone and transplant it into Gu Yi’s body.

The elders of the ninth branch, including Gu Qingge’s parents, were naturally unwilling, but they were accused of conspiring with outsiders by the main branch and dealt with ruthlessly.

Gu Cangqiong, the Gu family’s ancestor, was aware of all this but chose to let it go for the sake of the family. He aimed to take over Gu Yi’s body, and thus he orchestrated the plan to enhance Gu Yi’s aptitude by merging his divine physique with Gu Qingge’s Indestructible Calamity Bone.

As a reincarnation, Gu Qingge knew the future and that her Indestructible Calamity Bone was the Indestructible Body of the Cataclysm.

In her previous life, she awakened this power after death, reviving it with incredible talent. Within a thousand years, she became a quasi-Emperor in the Ninth Heaven realm, ultimately killing Gu Cangqiong.

Feeling the pain in her chest, Gu Qingge smiled with a touch of coldness. She remembered vividly the scenes of her Indestructible Calamity Bone being extracted by the maidservants.

She needed to escape quickly, as Gu Cangqiong should be attacking the Su family at this time. Although she had memories from her past life and the confidence to rise once again, she was currently powerless, and her Indestructible Body of the Cataclysm had not yet been activated. She knew she had to be cautious and avoid any mistakes that could lead her astray from her previous path.

Determined to break free from the Gu family and use secret techniques to cultivate her power, she was confident that she would attain the strength of the Law Embodiment Realm within ten years, becoming a Great Saint in just a hundred years.

She envisioned effortlessly crushing Gu Cangqiong with this power, filled with chilling killing intent.

However, amidst her plans to escape, a faint sense of sorrow filled her heart, leaving her puzzled and inexplicable.

“Could it be… that old bastard Gu Cangqiong is dead?” Gu Qingge was taken aback.
