Chapter 1016: Gu Heng has quite a secret.
"I will take you to the nearest immortal realm, and you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
Pu Yunyuan took her leave.
Gu Heng finally relaxed, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea brimming with spiritual energy, and gently sniffed it. A refreshing and unique fragrance rushed straight to his mind.
He didn't really know much about tea, but he felt that it smelled nice. He tried taking a small sip, and the warm spiritual liquid slid down his throat, instantly turning into a warm current that spread throughout his body. Even the cold light brain imprint in his sea of consciousness seemed to become slightly more active.
"You know what, the people of this immortal civilization are quite hospitable."
Gu Heng put down his teacup, smacked his lips, and savored the unique aroma of the tea.
He drank several cups of spiritual tea and felt warm all over, and his spirits improved a lot. Even his worry about Qin Yiyao not responding was temporarily suppressed.
That's really rare.
He had just arrived in the Immortal Civilization and was already able to leisurely enjoy the Immortal Spirit Tea. Could this be considered a home away from home experience?
Gu Heng also had a good impression of Pu Yunyuan. She looked young and serious but also elegant. He knew how to follow the rules, and she treated him with genuine hospitality. She was quite knowledgeable and polite.
Xiao Bai then said, "Master, she seems to have some background."
"I feel so too."
Based on intuition alone, Gu Heng felt that she did not seem like the kind of minor official.
But Xiao Bai's reasoning was more logical and well-founded. He had been in Zixiao Heaven for almost a year and didn't know much about the forces in this outer heaven, but he at least knew about the top forces that firmly controlled the overall situation in the outer heaven.
The Jade Emperor Palace, needless to say, ranks first, and even its master is also the ruler of the Purple Heaven.
The second place is Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain.
Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain has three "Mountain Guardian Ancestors," one of whom is surnamed Pu...
Is it a coincidence?
Xiao Bai couldn't think of that much. It was unlikely that the descendants of the Pu family from Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain would take on a job like an inspector. However, the cultivators around her were all much stronger than her!
They are probably Pu Yunyuan's protectors.
The way things are done and the rules here are all passed down from the lower realms. It is customary for descendants of illustrious lineages and with exceptional talents to have elders from their clans as protectors.
This only proves that Pu Yunyuan's background is indeed worth investigating. "What does Master think?"
Xiao Bai has always been cautious, and he doesn't really like getting on other people's boats, because there might be a reason why he can't get off.
"What do I think?"
Gu Heng didn't think too much about it and chose a comfortable spot to lie down.
"I'll just lie here and watch. As long as I can hitch a ride, I don't want to meddle in anything else. Everyone has their own secrets. We're just strangers who met by chance. In the end, we'll go our separate ways."
The cabin smells wonderful.
He suddenly realized that Pu Yunyuan might have given him her lounge.
If that's the case, then she's not just a little hospitable.
……
While Gu Heng was leisurely enjoying himself, the entire ship traversed the dense spiritual mist of Zixiao Heaven, speeding towards the nearest immortal realm.
Pu Yunyuan entered the control room located at the core of the ship.
Inside the quiet room, a cultivator sat cross-legged at the central array eye, his body enveloped in a faint blue glow, subtly connected to the aura of the entire ship.
"Seventh Grandfather".
Her attention was focused on Pu Ao, who was standing to the side with a solemn expression and his eyes closed in deep thought.
Did you see something just now?
Pu Yunyuan's eyesight was sharp. When Gu Heng put away the warship, Pu Ao's expression was clearly off. However, Pu Yunyuan didn't think too much about it at the time. She only remembered that Gu Heng had a powerful background, so she planned to let them rest first.
Now, she finally had the chance to ask Pu Ao what new ideas he had.
Pu Ao slowly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze subdued, replaced by deep solemnity. "That warship just now, did you see how he stored it away?"
He asked, and Pu Yunyuan thought for a moment, then just shook her head.
I didn't even pay attention to that aspect.
Seeing this, Pu Ao explained his views to Pu Yunyuan in detail. She herself always cared a lot about the opinions of this seventh grandfather when she was traveling, and now she was hearing him speak so mysteriously...
She was also a little undecided.
"What Seventh Grandfather means is that it was impossible for that warship to be stored away, but he managed to do it?"
"Well, in my opinion, there are only two possibilities."
Pu Ao stroked his beard and analyzed carefully: "Either the level of technological civilization has advanced again and some new technology has been developed. After all, the person behind Gu Heng can provide him with a main warship. Whether he borrowed something else from him, we do not know."
"The second possibility is that he possesses the strength of the Conceptual Realm!" "Conceptual Realm?"
Pu Yunyuan's brows furrowed instantly.
The Concept Realm was far too distant for her. Their Pu family's ancestor, who was stationed at Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain, was a true giant in the Concept Realm!
However, she had never seen the Pu family patriarch make a move, nor had she witnessed the power of a conceptual realm expert's attack.
To put it simply, witnessing powerful beings wielding their strength is a unique gain for any low-level cultivator who can see it firsthand, coupled with their own comprehension abilities.
Pu Yunyuan wasn't so lucky as to witness it firsthand.
"Only those at the conceptual level can exert such power over 'space,' but my strength is insufficient, and my knowledge seems somewhat lacking..."
Pu Ao dared not draw any conclusions rashly.
"He probably isn't that good."
However, after careful consideration, Pu Yunyuan felt that Gu Heng could not possibly have the ability to reach the Concept Realm.
If such a thing truly existed, why would one need to borrow a technologically advanced behemoth for transportation?
With just a thought, the power of "concepts" can be manipulated at will; the thought gives rise to the Dao, and the Dao transforms the world!
It's not difficult to traverse immortal civilizations with a single thought.
Why force yourself to endure something you can't, wasting your time?
"This is getting interesting..."
Actually, Pu Yunyuan wasn't very interested in Gu Heng's background just now.
They're just promising talents favored by some important figure in some civilization. She's seen these kinds of people before, and she doesn't think much of most of them anyway.
But now that Pu Ao said that, Pu Yunyuan suddenly felt itchy inside.
So complex and mysterious that even Grandpa Seven dared not draw any conclusions, there must be some secret worth uncovering about this Gu Heng! "He may be at the Concept Realm, or he may not, it's not up to us to think about these things too much."
Pu Ao said in a deep voice, a resolute glint in his eyes, "No matter who he is or what his purpose is, now that he's on board, we can't treat him lightly. We just need to get him off the ship as soon as possible."
"Your decision to serve as the inspector is a matter of honoring your bet, but it has damaged your reputation and has already displeased the clan. It's best not to cause any further trouble."
"Understand?"
When Pu Ao mentioned aristocratic families, Pu Yunyuan really wanted to argue back, but she didn't have the confidence to do so, so she could only reply, "I understand."
Such an alluring secret is right there, yet we can't uncover it.
Pu Yunyuan, the inspector who was so bored she was practically sick, felt she had missed a perfect opportunity to relieve her boredom.
I'm really at my wit's end.
