In the end, this place collapsed completely, the remains of the Immortal King disappeared out of thin air, and only rubble and debris remained on the ground.
Perhaps, after countless years, when future generations come here and pick up the rubble from the collapsed altar and the fragments from the disintegrated stone statues, they will only think that an ancient civilization was once born here, and will never imagine that it is actually a Taoist temple left behind by an immortal king.
Time is so ruthless and never stops for anyone.
After a brief shock, Qingyue and Pang Ren came to their senses and looked at the ruins in front of them with blank faces.
The huge and solemn Immortal King ruins just collapsed and became history. What about Gu Wudi who entered the ruins? Did he also disappear along with this huge thing?
"Your Five Tortoise Shell Hexagram is truly worthy of its reputation. With the ruins collapsed, who can survive? It is true that there is no chance of survival. This time, I have harmed fellow Daoist Gu. I am truly ashamed." Pang Ren sighed, feeling extremely regretful in his heart.
This was an unrivaled genius who could defeat the heir of the Supreme Palace at the same level. It was such a pity for him to die like this.
Qingyue was speechless, but her face was a little pale, and her inner confusion could be seen from her tightly clasped fingers.
"Bang!"
Five tortoise shells were thrown high up and fell to the ground in a random pattern, forming a hexagram.
Pang Ren and Qing Yue stared at the hexagram for a long time without saying a word, because the hexagram remained the same, it was still an image of death with no chance of survival, which meant that Gu Wudi must have fallen and became a burial object of the Immortal King's ruins.
At this moment, a figure came up to the two of them silently.
A chilling cold wind blew past, causing Qingyue and Pang Ren to shiver slightly and feel a chill in their hearts.
"Is it still a dead end?"
A familiar voice sounded in their ears. They nodded habitually, then raised their heads stiffly and looked at the figure in front of them in disbelief.
"Ancient Invincible?"

I took a day off and went home today. After driving all day, I really don’t have the energy to write.
Chapter 104: Atavists
When Qingyue and Pang Ren saw the sudden figure, they opened their mouths in surprise and could not close them for a long time. They were all shocked beyond words.
At this moment, the brain loses the ability to think and becomes blank.
Didn't the Five Tortoise Shells hexagram just dropped show that Gu Wudi was dead and had disappeared along with the Immortal King's remains? How come he appeared alive in front of him the next moment?
After a brief outage, the two of them suddenly shuddered and many associations came to their minds.
"What? Don't you recognize me?" Gu Wudi said with a smile.
"Haha, of course I know him. Congratulations on your successful return, Brother Gu." Upon hearing this, Pang Ren immediately greeted him with a smile.
Qingyue stood where she was, blinking her beautiful eyes, quietly observing Gu Wudi's every move.
“Thank you, I have gained a lot from this trip and gained unimaginable opportunities.
But unfortunately, these opportunities cannot be shared. There are no materials, medicines, pills, treasures, etc. to obtain, so Brother Pang can only return empty-handed. I owe Brother Pang a big favor, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you in full."
"Haha, these are all trivial matters. Brother Gu's safe return is more important than anything else." Pang Ren laughed dryly.
"Your realm has not increased, and you don't have the aura of the Daoshi realm, but you have an extraordinary aura, which gives people a strong sense of oppression. I am really curious about what kind of great opportunity you got in the Immortal King's ruins that allowed you to have such a transformation." Qingyue suddenly spoke, his eyes full of curiosity.
The Qingyue Flame in her body told her an important piece of information. The original Gu Wudi who was filled with a strong aura of the Sky Seed was gone. The current Gu Wudi was very strange, mysterious and powerful, but it was definitely not because of the Sky Seed. In fact, the Sky Seed had been marginalized and was no longer in a dominant position like before.
Gu Wudi glanced at Qingyue, and then showed the fruits of his journey.
The clear light seems to not belong to this world. When it is connected into one piece, it forms a universe of its own and possesses boundless power.
A wisp of flame appeared in each of his hands, one was the grey flame of all evil and the other was the white flame of heaven. A vast sky appeared above his head, as if it could suppress all the past and present times.
"The Fire of Ten Thousand Evils? That is... the Flame of Heaven? This... damn it, could the real Brother Gu have already gone there?" Pang Ren widened his eyes, witnessing this incredible scene.
It is beyond comprehension and unreasonable that one living being can fuse several perfect ancient species.
Qingyue was also shocked. The Ten Thousand Evil Fires had appeared. Did it mean that Gu Wudi was no longer Gu Wudi?
But soon, they understood the reason from Gu Wudi. It turned out that he inherited the will of King Wan Nie, and opened up a path to use his body as a seed against the will of heaven, breaking the iron rule of one body merging into one species, which created this eternal wonder.
"Seed with your body!"
Pang Ren repeated it, his voice trembling a little. Although his realm was not high, he was knowledgeable and knew what this kind of pioneering meant.
Qingyue was the same and was shocked by Gu Wudi's feat.
As for whether Gu Wudi is still Gu Wudi, the two have already made a judgment. He is still the same as yesterday, and his temperament has not changed drastically because of the trip to the ruins. It's just that his strength has become unfathomable and he has already left the realm of rooting.
They all expressed their praises, saying that they were lucky to have the opportunity to witness such a miracle.
After expressing his feelings, Pang Ren said goodbye and decided not to go with the two of them. However, after this trip to the Immortal King's ruins, he had developed a close friendship with Qingyue and Gu Wudi, and they made an appointment to have a drink together when they met again.
Gu Wudi traveled with Qingyue and returned with her to her master's residence.
Judging from Qingyue's description of her master, her master is a reclusive and extraordinary person, most likely an immortal, otherwise he would not have given Qingyue something like the Immortal Tortoise Shell. Gu Wudi has long been curious about visiting this reclusive senior, and this trip is a good opportunity for them to go together.
……
In the fairyland, Hunyuan City, Shangcang Mountain, in an ancient temple filled with chaotic energy, Wang Heng sat there quietly, with his eyes slightly closed, immersed in deep practice.
At this moment, his body was in an unconscious state, but a faint blood-red glow was lingering around him.
This is the ultimate manifestation of transcendence in the Xixue realm. Blood-colored light flows on the surface of the body, as if moving the Tiangang.
Throughout history, few people have been able to reach this level, and most of them relied on powerful bloodline power. Wang Heng is obviously more advanced. To some extent, the realm he has cultivated has already gone beyond the scope of the Xixue realm, which can be called "moving blood."
Not far away, Black King opened his eyes wide and carefully observed the movements of Wang Heng while he was practicing.
It had followed the Immortal King Wuzhong to the fairyland many times and had seen countless geniuses and talents. However, no creature could compare with Wang Heng in the Xixue Realm.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a blood-red glow grew brighter, and the sound of a rushing river was heard. It was hard to believe that this was the sound of the blood flowing of a creature in the Xixue Realm. It was too grand. In addition, there was also the faint rumbling sound of scriptures.
The next moment, Wang Heng opened his eyes and shot out a strange blood-red beam of light. All the blood-colored light calmed down and formed a layer of precious light around him, making him look like a god descending to earth.
"The Great Perfection of Moving Blood Realm."
Wang Heng let out a light breath, looked at his hands, and muttered to himself.
"Blood Moving Realm? This description is quite appropriate." The Black King beside him spoke.
Only then did Wang Heng realize that he was not the only living being in this ancient palace.
These days, the Black King always comes and goes without a trace. As a True Immortal, his whereabouts are naturally beyond the grasp of a Xixue Realm cultivator like Wang Heng.
“Moving blood, moving blood… This king thinks this name is very good. If it can spread in the fairyland, it will surely become a story that will be passed down through the ages.
In the history books of the future, it will be recorded that in the ancient era of immortals, Wang Heng changed Xixue to Banxue, giving this initial state an extraordinary meaning. "The Black King said to himself.
Wang Heng smiled but said nothing, because he could make similar breakthroughs in most realms of the Fairyland Law. By taking advantage of his foresight, he could completely lead the direction of the Fairyland's evolution in this era.
Of course, this does not mean that the Immortal Realm Method is Wang Heng’s ultimate choice.
He knew that creating his own method was the strongest path, and the fairyland method was only a guarantee to maintain the top combat power of this "god" body.
"Now that you have reached the great perfection of moving blood, you can go out and see the strength of the geniuses in the fairyland.
Although Hunyuan City is large, there are only a few who can be compared with you at the same level. Only the descendants of the Immortal King are barely qualified, so you should directly go to this kind of creatures to compete and test them. "The Black King stood up and shook his head, ready to take Wang Heng out of the ancient palace to meet the descendants of the Hunyuan Immortal King.
After a long period of reproduction, the descendants of the Immortal King Hunyuan have become extremely large, and most of them are young geniuses. Among them, those who are atavists in the direct or collateral lines will be valued and vigorously cultivated, so that they have the strength and capital to compete with the younger generation.
Throughout the ages, the supreme geniuses who emerged from Hunyuan City could always rank among the top 20 in the same realm in the fairyland.
Sometimes it is in the top three, sometimes in the top ten, and there have been bad times, but it has never fallen out of the top twenty.
The most astonishing few of them became the top ten in the fairyland at that time. Now they have reached the realm of quasi-immortal king, overlooking the world.
For example, Hun Hong, the son of Hun Yuan, was once one of the top ten in his time. Unfortunately, his future fulfilled the words of Immortal King Hun Yuan, and he stopped at the level of Quasi-Immortal King, and was unable to take another step forward in his entire life.
Even so, he was amazing enough. How many people in ancient and modern times could become immortal kings? Quasi-immortal kings were already the pinnacle that others needed to look up to.
Therefore, the descendants of the Immortal King Hunyuan are of great value and are by no means just small minions.
“As far as I know, a young man with ancestral blood recently appeared in the Hunyuan family. Before the age of ten, he was unknown and no one paid attention to him. At the age of ten, he awakened and his blood power was like the blazing sun, with astonishing potential.
Now, with the help of the strong men in the clan, he has entered the Xixue realm. It is said that he has great potential and is immeasurable. He is one of the successors that the Hunyuan family will focus on training in the future.
Such an opponent should be considered to be of high quality.”
"A throwback?"
Wang Heng whispered, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Because, based on past experience, the blood power of the atavistic ones may be stronger than the blood power of the direct lineage.
In the realm of moving blood, the importance of blood power is self-evident. It can enhance the strength of the cultivator very directly.
For Wang Heng, the stronger the opponent is, the better, because this way he can become stronger.
After being led out of the ancient palace by the Black King, Wang Heng followed it, turning left and right, walking down Shangcang Mountain, crossing the streets, and finally, arriving in front of an immortal palace.
"Chaos Tavern."
Wang Heng looked at the iconic ancient wooden sign and blurted out.
"This restaurant is not simple. The power behind it is very powerful and complex. It has branches in many Immortal King Cities. It is best not to cause trouble here, otherwise, you will be unable to move forward in the Immortal Realm."
Black King reminded quietly.
Wang Heng nodded and asked, "Senior Black King, the competition you mentioned wouldn't be in the arena of the Chaos Tavern, right?
The other party is the life form that the Hunyuan Family will focus on cultivating in the future. He has just started on the path of cultivation, so he should hide his incompetence and wait until he is fully developed before coming out into the world. How could he possibly fight with me in this situation?"
"Don't worry about this kind of thing, just leave it to me. All you have to do is beat up your opponent hard in the arena and build your fame and power." The Black King waved his claws and said so.
Wang Heng looked at the Black King and saw that it didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, the two of them walked into the Chaos Restaurant, and immediately a Taoist child with an immortal look came up to them and asked them why they were there.
The Black King said a few words casually, and the other party showed a shocked expression, nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood, and then turned and left.
Soon, a True Immortal cultivator floated over. A strong aura of immortality flowed around him, and one could tell at a glance that he had achieved great attainments in the realm of True Immortality.
"You are... the one who followed Senior Wuzhong..." When the True Immortal saw the Black King's appearance, he immediately knew his identity.
"Yes, it is this king."
