Chapter 1031: So you're my mentor
To verify his conjecture, Gu Heng turned the Apocalypse around again, intending to sail back into that region.
However, this time it failed. That area seemed to have completely disappeared, and there was no spatial portal that could be entered again.
"This is really interesting."
Gu Heng clicked his tongue in amazement.
This place was well hidden. If it weren't for those three mysterious individuals chasing after Pu Yunyuan, it might have remained undiscovered until the day it truly came into play, safely concealed.
Regardless, it was a favor to Pu Yunyuan and the others, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
"Mr. Gu." A slightly weak but grateful voice interrupted Gu Heng's thoughts.
With Pu Yunyuan's help, Pu Ao solemnly bowed to him: "We will never forget your life-saving grace! If it weren't for your extraordinary abilities, we would have died long ago, and even our souls would not have been preserved."
Pu Yunyuan followed closely behind, bowing gracefully, her pretty face full of relief and admiration for surviving the ordeal: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for saving me."
Gu Heng waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "We are just strangers who met by chance, there's no need for you two to be so formal."
"Now that it's over..."
What kind of supernatural powers did he have? Those three weren't that great. It was just that Pu Ao was weaker than them, so he suffered a heavy blow. He wasn't being modest; he just genuinely didn't feel like he had expended any effort. Of course, the time he spent getting away from that hellish place later was another matter.
Pu Ao also saw through Gu Heng's intention to leave, and quickly said, "Mr. Gu has been kind to the Pu family as if he were a second life. Please do us the honor of accompanying us to Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain for a rest, so that the Pu family can do our best to repay your great kindness!"
His words were very sincere, after all, this was someone who could easily kill at least three people at the Concept Realm, enough to make the entire Pu Clan go to great lengths to befriend him!
Moreover, the other party had saved their lives.
With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Pu Ao, as an elder of the Pu clan, naturally did not intend to let it end so easily.
At the very least, wouldn't it be better if we could deepen our relationship a little more?
However, Gu Heng declined almost without hesitation, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I have important business to attend to and need to go to the Jade Emperor Palace in Zixiao Heaven. It is inconvenient for me to delay."
He was preoccupied with Qin Yiyao; he had come specifically for her, and he had already wasted a considerable amount of time. He really didn't want any more complications. What if he lost that Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain, and then something else unexpected happened?
To put it bluntly, it's all their own doing.
If you mind your own business, you'll generally avoid a lot of trouble.
However, the moment Gu Heng finished speaking, the surrounding space rippled slightly. It was just a fleeting ripple, but it made the entire interior space of the Apocalypse ship seem to freeze!
An indescribable, grand will seemed to descend upon this place across endless time and space. It was not a real body, but a projection of a thought containing supreme majesty quietly appeared before everyone. Upon seeing this phantom, Pu Yunyuan and Pu Ao trembled and immediately bowed.
"I've met my ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng also looked surprised.
It was actually the Pu Clan Ancestor, who possessed the cultivation of the Concept Realm, who descended his power here!
"Just now, I sensed everything through the bloodline spiritual imprint on Yuan'er's body. This fellow Daoist saved Yuan'er and protected my Pu clan. He is an benefactor of my clan in terms of both sentiment and reason. I will remember this kindness. Please do me the honor of coming to Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain for a chat, so that I can do my best to be a good host."
Another important person has arrived.
Judging from her tone, Pu Yunyuan indeed possesses life-saving methods that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and even the clan patriarch has placed a mark on her!
But such a powerful trump card seemed to be useless inside?
Otherwise, why would Pu Yunyuan run away so desperately?
However, it must be said that compared to the great sages of those technological civilizations, the powerful figures of the immortal civilization truly possess an immediate and tangible aura, capable of even revealing flaws in his understanding at a glance.
Even the patriarch of the Pu clan personally invited me to Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain. Isn't that ridiculous?
Gu Heng could refuse Pu Ao's kindness, since Pu Ao was weaker than him and he had saved Pu Ao's life, but he really couldn't refuse the kindness of the Pu Clan Ancestor.
You can't keep refusing someone's offer of courtesy.
However, Gu Heng still decided to refuse.
“I am in a hurry to go to the Jade Emperor’s Palace to find someone, and it is really inconvenient to delay. I hope this old ancestor will understand.”
The illusory figure seemed to pause slightly. The old patriarch of the Pu clan probably hadn't expected that he would be rejected even if he stepped forward. But he clearly had no intention of giving up so quickly, and said directly, "Oh? I wonder which great power of the Jade Emperor Palace you are looking for? I can send a message on your behalf to inform you of the cause and effect, so that you won't be in a dilemma."
"She's not a great expert, she's my apprentice Qin Yiyao."
Now that things have come to this, Gu Heng can't hide it any longer. He doesn't want to lie in front of such a powerful person; if he does, he'll be exposed.
Besides, the other party is being so polite now because I saved Pu Yunyuan. Since that's the case, it's not a bad opportunity to make things clear.
"Qin Yiyao?" The old patriarch of the Pu clan's voice revealed obvious surprise. "Is the one you're talking about, fellow Daoist? Is she the Jade Emperor Palace's prodigy who has risen to fame in the past ten years or so, known for her decisiveness in killing and her unparalleled talent, who recently won the Zixiao Heaven Creation Debate and has already advanced to the Creation Realm?"
This time it was Gu Heng's turn to be surprised: "Does the Ancestor also know that girl's name?"
"Hehe, more than just acquaintances." The Pu family patriarch did not hold back his praise. "She is indeed a peerless genius. Her cultivation speed and combat strength are rarely matched among her peers."
"Now, quite a few old guys in Zixiao Heaven have taken notice of her, and believe that it is almost a certainty that she will reach our level in the future."
"So she was taught by a fellow Daoist. No wonder, no wonder..."
The number of young people in the Immortal Dao Civilization is truly unimaginable. Not to mention catching the eye of a powerful figure like the Pu Clan Ancestor, even among the younger generation, they may not know each other's backgrounds. Only the true number one can enjoy such an honor.
Of course, not all young generation leaders will be noticed by top experts; it can only be said that Qin Yiyao is simply too extraordinary.
According to the Pu family patriarch, Qin Yiyao refused the offers to become a disciple of many important figures in the Jade Emperor Palace. Despite having no foundation of her own, she was still so arrogant and haughty. Her personality could be described as boundless arrogance. With such inflexibility, who knows how many people she will offend in the future.
But thinking about it carefully, is it possible for her to have this without the guidance of a master?
The patriarch of the Pu family thought it was impossible.

Previously, the time difference between my time with the tomato was usually no more than an hour. I don't know how much it is now, so I'm making a note of it.
