HPDBC Chapter 273 Winds of Change
Chapter 273 Winds of Change
Gu Lan strolled slowly out of the Hall of Nurturing Harmony, idly toying with the divine void ring in his hand.
"The divine void ring remains in a semi-sealed state; to undo the seal, one must absorb a sufficient amount of spatial energy."
"There are various ways to obtain spatial energy, the simplest being to absorb it from spatial stones."
"Moreover, any spatial fluctuations will generate spatial energy, which can be absorbed by the divine void ring."@@@@
Presently, a spectacular ascension ceremony was imminent.
Ascending to the Upper Realm requires opening spatial channels, naturally yielding copious amounts of spatial energy.
Such energy mustn't be squandered, Gu Lan found it quite fitting.
Opening spatial channels requires considerable resources; those three envoys went to great lengths to open the channels, so it would be wasteful to neglect the dispersed spatial energy, wouldn't it?
Lost in thought, suddenly, three transmissions resounded in Gu Lan's ear.
Just when drowsiness beckoned, these three individuals arrived just in time!
"Enter," Gu Lan said nonchalantly.
As soon as the message was conveyed, three figures instantly appeared before him.
"Elder, I am grateful for your assistance. It is thanks to you that I have completed my ferrying mission."
"This is a small token of my appreciation; please do not disdain it," Niu Laosan cut to the chase, presenting three bottles of Demon Realm's unique Immortal Stage elixirs to Gu Lan.
Gu Lan, without hesitation, accepted them directly.
He had plenty of elixirs; a few more or less made no difference. However, it would be inappropriate not to accept them at this juncture, lest Niu Laosan feel he had erred.
"Elder, this is from me," Black Abyss grinned and also offered a soul-nourishing Saint Stage treasure.
This item held little significance for Gu Lan but would be useful for Chiyang Saint Sovereign.
Given that Chiyang Saint Sovereign was about to seek revenge in the Demon Realm, this treasure would save some time. Moreover, a Saint Stage treasure held greater value than the three bottles of elixirs.
This Underworld envoy was truly generous.
Accepting the treasure, Gu Lan passed it on to the Demon Realm envoy, who, after a moment's confusion, comprehended and promptly placed the treasure into the demon coffin.
"Elder, I have also prepared something."
"The relic of our Demon Clan's emperor, the Peacock Divine Feather."
The treasure presented by Fierce Fire was astonishing—it turned out to be a relic of the Demon Realm's emperor.
While this Peacock Divine Feather held immense significance for the avian clan, it offered little benefit to someone who had already become an emperor like himself. However, it could be crafted into a treasure for Gu Xiaoqi, that mischievous imp.
Naturally, Gu Lan accepted such a treasure.
Listening to their words, Gu Lan remained silent.
After a moment, he redirected his gaze towards the two.
"What do you think, which realm do you believe Zhe Liang will choose on his own?"
Black Abyss and Fierce Fire exchanged glances, not understanding the meaning behind Gu Lan's words.
They had already prepared themselves for Gu Lan's refusal from the start, hence their hesitation when presenting gifts. However, Gu Lan's recent words reignited hope within them.
"Are you suggesting, Elder, that as long as Zhe Liang chooses whom to ascend with, you will not object?" Fierce Fire asked, his eyes flickering with a hint of uncertainty.
Gu Lan looked up at him, smiling and nodding, "Regardless of whom Zhe Liang chooses to ascend with, I have no objections... Zhe Liang considers me his lord, and I will not let personal desires hinder his future."
"However, refrain from boasting about his future achievements being inferior to yours... I agree to you both bringing him along for ascension, but your goals are not limited to that..."
"Understood!"
"We understand!"
Black Abyss and Fierce Fire's eyes lit up with surprise. They quickly took their leave.
Without a doubt, they were off to find Zhe Liang. With Gu Lan's final word, it was now a race to recruit him; they had to seize the opportunity.
Gu Lan then gave some instructions regarding Chiyang Saint Sovereign.
After that, he dismissed Niu Laosan as well.
...
"The Three Thousand Worlds are vast, and the winds and clouds of the myriad realms are about to change."
"I'm eager to see how the process unfolds..."
Gu Lan stood with his hands behind his back, his azure robes fluttering in the breeze. He looked up at the cloudless sky of the Jing Nation, contemplating.
With the divine void ring in his possession, he now had the opportunity to traverse all six realms at will.
In that case, he could send all his subordinates to the six realms!
And at any time. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Through the divine void ring, he could ensure their safety and the abundant resources of the six realms would expedite their cultivation.
This was the plan that took shape in Gu Lan's mind as soon as he saw the divine void ring.
However, when the proposal to take Zhe Liang arose from the three envoys, he couldn't help but consider a more perfect route...
"I'll follow the path of the original protagonist and let them... let them seize all the unclaimed treasures of these six realms. Wouldn't that be a shortcut to enhance their destiny and strength?" Gu Lan murmured softly, a smirk playing on his lips.
By nurturing power while simultaneously collecting system rewards along the way.
Two birds with one stone!
