In reality, Gu Changge had already noticed this woman who had been following him. Not only that, she was also carefully observing his every move.
Upon receiving news from the Queen Lunar, Gu Changge headed to the Boundless Battlefield after leaving the Upper Realm. On his way here, he could not help but wonder about the history of this battlefield. That was why he had stopped for a while here, hoping to unravel the mystery behind its formation by analysing various clues.
Although the Boundless Battlefield sat adjacent to the Boundless Fallen Ocean, there was no direct link between the two.
In Gu Changge’s perspective, this place seemed more like a fragment of the ancient battlefield from a Great War Against Heaven, transported here through some kind of method. He speculated that this relocation was an attempt to revive the fallen experts that took part in the Great War Against Heaven.
Many lost had their lives on the battlefield, as the Great War Against Heaven impacted many True Worlds. The historical event spanned across the vast River of Time, burying countless powerful experts. Thus, without knowledge of the specific identities and True Souls of those buried in it, any attempts at resurrection would be futile.
“W-When did you appear…?” Luo Yanxi took a deep breath, composed herself, and turned to face Gu Changge. She was convinced that the person standing before her was just like herself, someone who had awakened from the cycle of reincarnation and retained the memories of their previous life and Dao Fruit.
With her knowledge and insights from her previous life, Luo Yanxi could sense that Gu Changge’s power was not weaker than the current era’s Immortal Kings.
Everyone from the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect were equally astounded by Gu Changge’s sudden appearance. Among them, Song Yunjie, who had been trying to talk to Luo Yanxi, could not help but tremble. He felt an inexplicable fear towards this enigmatic man.
“And since when have you been following me?” Gu Changge smiled faintly.
Luo Yanxi’s tone faltered, realising that Gu Changge had noticed that she had been observing him all along. With so many fellow disciples and her Elder around, this was hardly the right time for her to speak her mind.
She pondered for a brief moment before saying, “I believe we might be the same kind of people. Perhaps we share common topics of interest.”
Her words immediately caused everyone from the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect to widen their eyes in disbelief. They could hardly believe that their usually reserved Junior Sister would openly express such sentiments to a stranger, even if he was a remarkable young man with an extraordinary aura.
“Common topics of interest? Can I assume that you’re trying to strike up a conversation with me?” Gu Changge was still smiling, appearing unfazed.
That was not Luo Yanxi’s intention, but this was not the right place to discuss her true origins either.
Curiosity consumed Luo Yanxi, specifically about Gu Changge’s background. She wanted to know which era he had come from. She could not shake the feeling that there were numerous individuals like her scattered throughout the Immortal Domain.
“You should understand that isn’t my intention. Perhaps we can sit down and have a meaningful conversation one day,” Luo Yanxi responded.
“If a talk is what you need, I’m willing to give you a chance,” Gu Changge replied with a smile and said nothing else. With that, he turned around and made his way towards the Boundless Battlefield.
Luo Yanxi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to follow him, disregarding the curious and bewildered gazes of the disciples and the Elder of the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect.
“Junior Sister…” Song Yunjie, who had always admired Luo Yanxi, called out anxiously, yet hesitated to follow her.
Gu Changge terrified him, his mere presence seeming to bear the weight of the entire world, rendering Song Yunjie immobile. It felt as though his very Soul was suppressed, any attempt to resist would lead to his demise, both body and Soul.
“They haven’t gone far, let us pursue them… Yanxi is the beacon of hope for our Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect. We must keep her safe from that mysterious man.” The Elder said, clenching his teeth as he suppressed the fear within his heart.
The remaining disciples of the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect were equally petrified. For some reason, they found the Boundless Battlefield, rife with boundless perils, less daunting than the presence of the young man they had just encountered.
The yellow sand rolled in the gentle breeze that appeared out of nowhere, adding to the haunting atmosphere. A radiant Full Moon hung like a jewel in the sky, casting its ethereal glow upon the ancient battlefield below.
In the distance, mysterious roars of formidable beasts reverberated through Heaven, causing the very sky to tremble in response.
Even after tens of millions of years, the evil spirits of the dead still continue to haunt the battlefield.
Guided by Gu Changge’s footsteps, Luo Yanxi ventured deeper into the treacherous place. With each step, the figures of her fellow disciples gradually faded into the shadows. leaving her with a lingering sense of unease.
Pausing in her tracks, she could not help but worry for their safety, as the Boundless Battlefield was unlike any other place. Even she, in her past, faced a formidable adversary here. The army was annihilated and sent to the Land of Reincarnation, leaving behind a graveyard of abandoned Artifacts.
Despite not being widely recognised and led by only a True Immortal, the Heavenly Inquisition Ancient Sect held great importance in her current life as she was part of it. She could not bear the idea of her people being exposed to danger within these perilous grounds.
“Why follow me if you are worried about them?” The smile on Gu Changge’s face had faded away. He walked at a steady pace, effortlessly covering long distances with each stride. He had intentionally slowed down, mindful of the fact that this woman named Luo Yanxi would otherwise struggle to keep up with him.
“I’m just curious about the era you came from,” Luo Yanxi paused briefly before expressing her deepest concern. She yearned to know if those who had perished or passed away had the possibility of returning. If that were true, then perhaps she could reunite with her loved ones from the past.
Despite having part of the Dao Fruit she once possessed, she still could not perceive Gu Changge clearly before her, let alone herself.
“Why made you so sure that I am not from this era?” Gu Changge asked with great interest.
“My intuition. It’s impossible for someone like you to have been born in this era,” Luo Yanxi replied.
“It doesn’t matter what era I am from. On the contrary, I am quite curious about the era you originally lived in…” Gu Changge smiled. He had already deduced the women’s past moments ago. Although certain details were obscured in the long River of Time and shrouded in fog, such secrets could not elude him.
[She came very close to reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm. To be more specific, she was a female Quasi-Immortal Emperor. As a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, she possessed the incredible ability to deceive Heaven. Her past, present, and even the events after her passing are all shrouded in a mysterious fog, making it exceedingly difficult for others to discern the truth and gain insight into her past life. However, in my eyes, even the enigmatic Quasi-Immortal Emperor could only hide so many secrets from me.]
Her reincarnation was the only mystery that eluded his comprehension because it was shrouded in a mysterious fog that he could not dispel. If Qingyi was indeed responsible for this, there was no way it would elude Gu Changge. He had a suspicion that an unseen Force was secretly scheming to use these once-fallen supreme experts as pawns.
