Chapter 796: Chapter 626 The Reason for the Coexistence of the Phoenix Three Palaces

Gu Changsheng looked back, blinking his Phoenix Eyes towards the Little Monk Bu Jie behind him.

Little Monk Bu Jie nodded at her gently.

With the support of Little Monk Bu Jie, Gu Changsheng’s courage suddenly grew a lot stronger.

Damn it, although the King of Witch Gu was a bit unreliable, her Little Monk was still awfully dependable!

All in!

What was it but ascending Gu Mountain!

At worst, she would just be buried by Gu insects!

Who’s afraid of whom!

”Let’s go!” With the determination of a brave warrior who has cut off his own wrist and gone beyond return, Gu Changsheng took a step forward.

The Holy Golden Phantom in front of her moved forward half a step with her motion, always maintaining a distance of one foot from her.

To Gu Changsheng’s astonishment, as the Dandan Bug moved forward, the swarming Gu insects in front of her also crowded back half a step!

Oh my god!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately felt valiant and spirited!

Oh my, with the Manman Bug, the Gu insects are really safe!

Striding along the mountain path steps, Gu Changsheng, watching the Gu insects retreating as she advanced, felt extremely buoyant in her heart!

”Lanterns, oh lanterns! Lighting lanterns in broad daylight to illuminate Gu insects!” Watching the Holy Golden Phantom floating a foot in front of her, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

It’s just like it!

Exactly like it!

This scene was just like encountering a ghost wall, lighting a fire to clear the way.

And what she was using to clear the way was this bright Holy Golden color right before her eyes!

So much like a lantern!

Where the lantern passes, Gu insects scatter!

A tool to drive away insects, no second thoughts!

Perfect!

A group of five, led by the Manman Bug, continued their climb towards Three Palaces Peak as if entering a land of no one.

With their advance, waves of Gu insects retreated like a tide!

The mountain path was secluded, the tree shadows mottled, a scene so eerie and unbelievable that it was hard to believe!

”Impossible! This is impossible! Even if she has the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan that fears not the witch gu, even if she is carrying the King of Witch Gu, it’s still impossible to repel the Gu insects on Three Palaces Peak! This is impossible!” An old Gu woman in a yellow robe with white hair and a face full of wrinkles stood in the Three Palaces Grand Hall, incredulously watching the travelers on the winding mountain road below, shaking her head in panic.

”Gu Ancestor Granny, could it be the Divine Soul... has the Divine Soul returned?” Behind the Gu Ancestor Granny, a middle-aged Lady Xu spoke with a trembling voice.

The Gu insects of Three Palaces Peak are not common Gu insects, unless...

”Impossible! Impossible!” Gu Ancestor Granny shook her head in a panic upon hearing this, ”It’s impossible! The Divine Soul will not return! My ancestors have passed down through generations that the Divine Soul will never return to the Southern Borderlands! Even if Fenghuang Changsheng has awakened the King of Witch Gu, it would still be nothing but a shell without a Divine Soul!”

Her emaciated fingers tightly gripping the walking stick, Gu Ancestor Granny’s figure slightly swayed, but her old eyes were filled with resolution!

She wouldn’t be defeated!

She had calculated every move, and just as she was about to succeed, she definitely wouldn’t give up at this critical moment!

”Summon someone, order the more than a thousand followers on Three Palaces Peak to gather in front of the hall! The rebel who has brought disaster to the Southern Borderlands is attacking, join me in resisting the enemy! Avenge the tens of thousands of soldiers who have died in battle for the Southern Borderlands! Bring peace back to the Southern Borderlands!” The walking stick struck the ground, and Gu Ancestor Granny’s old face was resolute as she spoke with a forceful tone.

”Granny...” The people behind her still had some concerns and wanted to speak out to stop her, but they fell silent under the sharp gaze of Gu Ancestor Granny, resigning themselves to bow and go to summon others.

The Three Palaces were rumored to hold all the greatly accomplished Gu women of the Southern Borderlands, and this was no vain talk.

In the lands of the Southern Borderlands, for the past several decades, virtually all the Gu women who were successful in raising Gu invariably ended up on this Three Palaces Peak!

Quality matters more than quantity!

Although there were only a little over a thousand Gu women on Three Palaces Peak, each one was a master in her own right!

The crisp sound of the Palace Bell rang throughout the Three Palaces Peak’s Three Palaces Grand Hall!

The towering hall was suddenly bustling, as the thousand experts hidden within, hearing the summons of the Palace Bell, poured out like ants from a nest, converging in front of the grand hall.

Truth be told, only those who had succeeded in raising Gu could enter the Three Palaces, but to succeed in raising Gu was not the work of a day or two!

Therefore, the over a thousand Gu women masters on Three Palaces Peak were not young, with those in their thirties already considered the young ones, and most of them already of a venerable age!

”What’s going on? I’ve been summoned into the Three Palaces for over a decade, but I have never heard the Palace Bell ring. What kind of significant event has occurred?”

”Don’t know! Could it be that someone in the Southern Borderlands dared to desecrate the honor of the Three Palaces?”

”That’s preposterous! What place is the Three Palaces? It cannot tolerate disrespectful intrusion!”

”Look! There really are people who have driven back the sea of insects and are making their way up the mountain!”

A Gu woman pointed at the line of people getting closer to the peak and exclaimed with wide-eyed surprise.

This shout immediately caused all the Gu women in front of the grand hall to turn their heads and look towards the mountain road.

The mountain road of Three Palaces Peak, aside from inviting people, was seldom stepped on by others!

Yet now, there was a group of people, old and young, steadily climbing up the mountain as if walking on flat ground!

”Yikes! The sea of insects is giving way, how powerful is the person coming?”

Without the hand order from Gu Ancestor Granny, these Gu insects are certainly not so obedient!

Why are they so docilely making way today?

”We’ve been wholeheartedly cultivating for so long, what have we missed? Could it be that the Southern Borderlands are once again in turmoil?”

”It shouldn’t be though. Even if the Southern Borderlands are in chaos, in theory, it shouldn’t have anything to do with the peak of the Three Palaces, right?”

”Then what’s the situation? They’ve brought the fight to our doorstep!”

”...”

The group of skilled Gu women were agitated, and the sound of discussion was incessant!

Those who can rear Gu to success, which of them isn’t a person infatuated with this path? Therefore, even though they are on the peak of the Three Palaces, most of them are immersing themselves in cultivation within their own halls, indifferent to worldly affairs!

The claim that the Three Palaces are detached from the world also arises from this!

The Three Palaces hold a revered status, and are filled with experts, none of which would frivolously involve themselves in the mundane matters at the foot of the mountain!

But today, it’s clear that even they can’t remain uninvolved!

Gu Changsheng raised his head, looking at the towering palace before his eyes, and his phoenix eyes couldn’t help but blink!

Oh my god! This is even more extravagant than the Cloud Palace Heavenly Tower of Bashu Witch Master!

Could someone tell her, are those shiny palace walls covered in glazed tiles? Are those beads hanging on the eaves actually Luminous Pearls?

Tycoon!

Extravagance!

A true high society!

”Tsk tsk... Indeed they hold positions of great power and influence, but just looking at the palace, one can tell that the prestige of the Three Palaces is not unearned!” How good they must be at amassing wealth! It must have taken so many years of accumulation to afford such a lavish spending!

Envy!

This is literally Mountains of Gold and Silver!

If anyone tries to tell her again that the Southern Borderlands are a place of desolation, she will get terribly upset!

Even in a poor crowd, there are those with wealth worth tens of thousands! Aside from Witch Gu Peak, which her son turned into a mess, this Three Palaces Peak really has opened her eyes!

With Manman leading the way, the Gu insects in front of them receded like a tide.

Gu Changsheng looked up at the dense crowd before the Three Palaces Hall, then glanced at the Gu insects beside him, his mind filled with thoughts and he hesitated before speaking, ”Manman, why are there so many Gu insects on the peak of the Three Palaces? The Phoenix Imperial Clan has been able to reign over the Southern Borderlands for a millennium because they carry within them the Blood of Serving God, but what about the Three Palaces? How has the Three Palaces maintained such a detached status in the Southern Borderlands for a thousand years?”

”Hmph!” Manman heard the question and snorted, her insect eyes disdainfully looked at the Gu insects before her, and she spoke rather haughtily, ”The Phoenix Clan carries forward the Blood of Serving God, while the Gu Ancestor Lineage of the Three Palaces controls the continuance of the Southern Borderlands Gu insects. This is called checks and balances, understand?”

Understand?

She doesn’t understand crap!

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, was instantly speechless!

She thought so, one mountain cannot harbor two tigers, yet the Phoenix Clan, being an Imperial Family, was able to coexist peacefully with the Three Palaces for a thousand years, there had to be a reason!

The reason lies here!

One can carry forward the Blood of Serving God, the other masters the continuance of the Gu insects...

Without the Gu insects, even if the Phoenix Clan has the Blood of Serving God, what use would that be?

Isn’t the Blood of Serving God used every thousand years to awaken the King of Witch Gu so that the Southern Borderlands still have Gu insects to continue their lineage?

It turns out, the Phoenix Clan and the Three Palaces really do complement each other!

”Insect God! Is your head filled with straw?” Unable to hold back any longer, Gu Changsheng finally spoke up in frustration, ”One mountain cannot harbor two tigers, understand? And you talk about checks and balances! If this continues, it will inevitably become a disaster. Manman, I really doubt how you became a god!”

If one has to be an Insect God, then be an Insect God!

But no, they had to be pretentiously ’smart’ and engage in checks and balances!

Damn it!

It’s just being trouble for the sake of being trouble!

His phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, and Gu Changsheng looked at the summit within reach, his steps coming to an abrupt halt, his face thoughtful.

Now, he wanted to confirm something.

”Manman, when you angrily left this time and space, did the Gu Ancestor Lineage on the peak of the Three Palaces know about this?” Frowning slightly, Gu Changsheng asked in a deep voice.

”Um...” Caught off guard by the question, Manman tilted her insect head and pondered before replying, ”Even if they didn’t know at the beginning, with my absence here, the continuance of the Gu insects on the peak of the Three Palaces must have been affected. Presumably, the Gu Ancestor Lineage could guess roughly what happened...”

”Slap!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately slapped her hand towards the Holy Golden phantom.

When it comes to hitting a god in a fit of rage, she couldn’t care less!

”Damn it! Did you get your brain squished by a door? I finally understand why you were imprisoned by my father. One word, deserved! Two words, well deserved!” Gu Changsheng exclaimed furiously.

The phantom was dispersed by the slap, and Manman reformed, also angry!

”What’s wrong with hitting me? What did I do wrong?”

”What did you do wrong? You tell me what you did wrong!” Retorted Gu Changsheng with rage in her eyes, furiously saying, ”Do you realize why you are fated to be imprisoned? Let me tell you why!”

”You wanted checks and balances, to prevent the Southern Borderlands clans from abusing their solitary power, and that wasn’t wrong! The Phoenix Lineage and the Gu Ancestor Lineage complemented each other, maintaining the balance in the Southern Borderlands. But your mistake was that you left! And this, the Gu Ancestor Lineage could probably guess in time, but the Phoenix Clan, not knowing until a thousand years when it was time to awaken you - do you realize what this means?”
