387: Zhang Zhenzhen returns home

Inside the Enlightenment Tower, there were countless Disciples and Elders, but Gu Liangyuan brought the Yao Sisters from the first floor to the ninth floor without anyone noticing them.

Soon, Gu Liangyuan arrived at Zhang Huanzhen's place of secluded cultivation.

After Gu Liangyuan activated the defensive array at the entrance, Zhang Huanzhen sensed it, deactivated the array, and welcomed Gu Liangyuan inside.

Zhang Huanzhen looked at Gu Liangyuan, originally intending to greet him and ask if his search for the Pavilion Master of Jubao Pavilion had gone smoothly.

However, when he saw the Yao Sisters behind Gu Liangyuan, his expression turned serious.

In his eyes, the two Yao Sisters at this moment emitted a profound aura all over their bodies.

This aura was completely out of place with this world.

Standing there, without needing to speak, they gave off the impression of not being from this Realm.

Zhang Huanzhen, having half a foot in the Immortal Dao, already had a guess about the identity of the Yao Sisters.

He then turned his gaze to Gu Liangyuan and softly uttered a single word:

"Immortal!"

Gu Liangyuan smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

He just turned his head and said to the Yao Sisters:

"You two may withdraw for now; I have something to discuss with Grandmaster."

The Yao Sisters bowed:

"Yes, Master."

Hearing the two women call Gu Liangyuan 'Master', Zhang Huanzhen was even more shocked.

An Immortal as a servant?

How did Gu Liangyuan do it!?

After the two women withdrew, Gu Liangyuan looked at Zhang Huanzhen:

"I wish to help Zhou Tianci... no, Zhang Tianci become the Crown Prince. What do you think, Grandmaster?"

Zhang Huanzhen did not reply, but instead stared unblinkingly at Gu Liangyuan.

His face appeared calm, but a monstrous wave had already surged in his heart!

How is that possible!

How did Gu Liangyuan know this secret!?

The idea Gu Liangyuan spoke of, he had once entertained it himself!

As a master of the Heavenly Dao of Divination, Zhang Huanzhen knew too well the importance of Luck.

He knew that his son's Spiritual Root was not strong, and for him to achieve Immortal Ascension, he would need the enhancement of Luck.

If he ascended to the position of Zhou Emperor, the Luck of an entire Dynasty would be enough for him to use.

Moreover, by becoming the Zhou Emperor, he would completely shed the title of 'Holy Land remnant,' and upon entering the Immortal Realm, backed by the Northern Immortal Court, his future would be limitless!

However, although the idea was good, the Zhou Emperor was in his prime, and it would be extremely difficult to operate under his nose.

With the gradual rise of the Tai Shang Sect, his thoughts changed again.

He would return to the Tai Shang Sect, and from Great Zhou, he would try his best to support his son.

If he failed to contend for the position of Crown Prince, then he could still take his child back to the Tai Shang Sect.

This was a fallback plan for himself and his child.

Zhang Huanzhen had feelings for the Tai Shang Sect, but these feelings were not as deep as his feelings for his child.

That was why his loyalty value had always remained at fifty, not fully devoted.

Now, hearing Gu Liangyuan's words, Zhang Huanzhen knew that Gu Liangyuan had already uncovered everything.

Zhang Huanzhen gave a bitter smile:

"I originally thought that the methods I used on Tianci would make it difficult for even a True Immortal from the Lower Realm to discern the Heavenly Dao."

"I never expected that I was being too presumptuous."

Gu Liangyuan shook his head:

"No, your art of 'shifting flowers and connecting trees' is indeed undetectable by ordinary True Immortals."

"The reason it was exposed is because you encountered me."

Although Gu Liangyuan's words were calm, Zhang Huanzhen heard an almost arrogant confidence in his words!

In fact, what Gu Liangyuan said was true. According to Xiao Fan's memories, during the war of the Three Great Dynasties, True Immortals did descend to the Lower Realm.

Yet, not a single one of them detected the anomaly with the Fourth Prince.

Zhang Huanzhen looked at Gu Liangyuan, at this Gu Liangyuan whom he thought he had seen through but never truly had:

"Man surpasses Immortal, difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Zhang Huanzhen repeated the word 'difficult' three times.

He had already guessed Gu Liangyuan's intention, which was nothing more than to wait for his child to ascend to the position of Zhou Emperor, and then opportunistically plot to incorporate Great Zhou into Great Abyss's territory.

But Great Zhou was backed by the Northern Immortal Court; would they just watch Gu Liangyuan reap the benefits?

Gu Liangyuan was not surprised that Zhang Huanzhen could guess his intentions.

According to Xiao Fan's memories, as the Child of Destiny, Zhang Yang's final opponent in this Realm, how could he be an ordinary person?

Gu Liangyuan knew that Zhang Huanzhen was someone who wouldn't act without seeing a benefit.

To persuade him, he needed to show something.

Gu Liangyuan slowly spoke:

"It's not surprising you're cautious. You probably don't know who my backer is, do you?"

Zhang Huanzhen didn't know what Gu Liangyuan was up to, only saying:

"I'm eager to hear the details."

Gu Liangyuan's lips curved slightly:

"My backer is a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao; his cultivation is still above the Great Luo!"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you probably don't know what Great Luo is."

"The Four Great Immortal Emperors are merely Golden Immortals."

"Above Golden Immortal, that is Great Luo!"

"When heaven and earth perish, he does not perish; when the Great Dao dies, he does not die!"

"This person's Divine Ability is vast; his name cannot be spoken, otherwise he will surely sense it."

"At this moment, he is freely traversing the long river of time and space."

"Manipulating Qiankun, reversing Yin and Yang!"

"What are mere Four Immortal Emperors compared to him?"

"What? You don't believe me?"

"I, Gu Liangyuan, swear to the Heavenly Dao, if there is even a hint of exaggeration in my words, may Chaos Divine Lightning, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, and Destruction Divine Lightning strike me all at once!"

Rapid breathing sounds came from behind him. Gu Liangyuan turned his head and saw Tian Chanzi standing there, dumbfounded, staring intently at him.

Gu Liangyuan's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Tian Chanzi over, then set up a defensive array.

Only after confirming that no one was outside did he let out a long breath:

"I didn't expect Senior to hear that too. You two must keep this a secret for me!"

Tian Chanzi's face became serious:

"Don't call me Senior, it makes us seem distant!"

"Call me Little Tian!"

Gu Liangyuan was not polite either, softly calling out:

"Little Tian."

"Aye!" Tian Chanzi responded delightedly!

Oh my goodness, I thought I was just looking for a temporary place to stay, but I never expected to truly latch onto a big shot this time!

Tian Chanzi was ecstatic!

He had lived longer than Zhang Huanzhen. Although he didn't know what Great Luo represented, he had vaguely heard that it was the Realm all people in the Immortal Realm pursued!

Since the great calamity, no one had reached it!

And behind Gu Liangyuan, there stood an existence above the Great Luo!

Such a person, he had never even heard of!

Traveling through the long river of time and space, what kind of Divine Ability, what kind of demeanor was that!

With such an existence, would the troubles he caused in the Immortal Realm still count as troubles?

He had to firmly hold onto such a big shot!

As for whether Gu Liangyuan was lying?

He had even made a Great Oath to Heaven and Earth; could my Brother Yuan lie to me?

At the same time, Tian Chanzi also understood why Gu Liangyuan could Breakthrough anywhere, anytime.

His combat methods defied common sense.

How could the methods of such an existence be detected by him!

Zhang Huanzhen also bowed down at this moment:

"Your subordinate Zhang Huanzhen, greets Cult Master!"

He was a master of the Heavenly Dao of Divination and knew even more the weight of a Great Oath to Heaven and Earth!

Even powerful Immortal Emperors did not have the power to control a Great Oath to Heaven and Earth!

Gu Liangyuan's words were credible!

Looking at the loyalty values of Zhang Huanzhen and Tian Chanzi, which instantly soared to ninety, Gu Liangyuan was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that simply bragging would make the two completely submit.

At the same time, Gu Liangyuan also knew that swearing was something that should be done sparingly; it shouldn't be done often, or it would lose its impact.

To brag perfectly, to make it sound grand and convincing, one still had to use it cautiously.
