Chapter 428 - A Smooth Arrival
There was a violent collision!
Gongyi Tianheng swiftly flashed back and returned. One hand struck out with a streak of qi energy, which protected Gu Qi and Zhao Ji. At the same time, Gu Zuo responded in turn. Using his psychic power, he transformed it into a defensive cover, which enveloped the outside of that qi energy casing.
With the added support of these two energies, although Zhao Ji and Gu Qi suddenly fell down due to the shaking, they didn’t receive any injuries.
Gu Qi’s heart was filled with lingering fear. Zhao Ji held him in a firm embrace, and the two stood up together.
At this time, Gu Zuo didn’t have time to check on the condition of his parents. His psychic power was adhered to the outside of the Void-Breaking Shuttle to unwaveringly watch over it. This was so that, in case of any accidents, he could control the shuttle at a moment’s notice.
However, that collision just now wasn’t an accident or mishap.
When all was said and done, the distance between the two worlds was incredibly far. After continuously burning the treasured crystals and source sand, there wasn’t too much left either. Although there was just enough, the energy expressed on the shuttle’s surface naturally couldn’t compare to the abundance of when it was at its peak initially. Moreover, after traveling for a long time, the shuttle also wasn’t able to maintain its strongest momentum. On top of that, the power of spacetime that suffused the surface layer of this world’s Central Continent was even denser than the primal chaos they were traversing just a while ago. Under these circumstances, it was to be expected that it wouldn’t be as simple and effortless as before.
To put it simply, there was a blockade at this world’s periphery. This forced the Void-Breaking Shuttle to work harder to gradually resolve this problem.
This meant that they had to spend a bit of time and a lot of treasured crystals.
Gu Zuo’s thoughts moved.
Those treasured crystals burned even more fiercely. The Void-Breaking Shuttle faintly shook. It seemed like an extremely terrifying power suddenly arose. In a split second, its forward momentum accelerated!
Gu Zuo exerted himself once more!
The Void-Breaking Shuttle listened to its owner’s wishes, and with everything it had, it broke through —
All of a sudden, more than half of the treasured crystals were gone.
The shuttle continued to pierce through. This time around, it smoothly entered the interior of this world.
Gu Zuo heaved a sigh of relief.
Down below, all sorts of sights flew past. Right now, what he needed to do was to pilot the Void-Breaking Shuttle straight to the region where Ten Ultimates Sect was located. The best scenario was that they directly arrived within the range of Ten Ultimates City. If it was like that, they could more easily proceed towards Ten Ultimates Sect.
Unwittingly, a little more than half a year passed in the modern world. They also didn’t know what happened to the battle slaves in the historical ruins back then... In addition, their master at Ten Ultimates Sect was definitely already aware of the news of their disappearance. It wasn’t known how he reacted.
Of course, there was also Yu Cheng.
— That young fellow was a talent worth training. They hoped the battle slaves didn’t get rid of him because they were whisked away by the Void-Breaking Shuttle.
With such thoughts, Gu Zuo used all his strength to control the shuttle. He sensed the continuous outflow of his own psychic power.
However, after the Void-Breaking Shuttle travelled through leagues of space, the treasured crystals ran out!
Gu Zuo: “...”
In the blink of an eye, most of the remaining forty percent of his psychic power suddenly erupted!
At the final juncture, the Void-Breaking Shuttle, which had lost all momentum, had its direction changed by his psychic power, and plummeted down.
Consequently&#k2026;
In a certain place, a spatial hole opened up in the sky. Then, a massive shuttle-shaped object haphazardly drilled its way out.
The shuttle quickly fell down, and smashed into the ground with a heavy and muffled rumble.
Not long after, the shuttle disappeared. What appeared on the ground was a group of four people.
Their hairstyles were somewhat strange, but their appearances and temperaments were out of the ordinary.
Among them, the young man with a shorter stature and delicate looks gasped, and said: “That was a close call.”
This group of people was naturally Gu Zuo, Gongyi Tianheng, Gu Qi, and Zhao Ji.
Before the Void-Breaking Shuttle completely ran out of energy, Gu Zuo promptly ordered it to pierce through space. Otherwise, once the shuttle’s power dissipated, people like them who didn’t have the capabilities to rip apart the void would be imprisoned in space.
However, the moment they appeared, the Void-Breaking Shuttle immediately crash down. While Gu Zuo and Tianheng would be fine, the ordinary Gu Qi and Zhao Ji wouldn’t be able to endure the fall — Fortunately, Tianheng and Gu Zuo’s reactions were swift. Gu Zuo used his psychic power to pull the shuttle. Meanwhile, Tianheng instantly fired some qi energy to support Gu Qi and Zhao Ji, allowing them to drop safely to the ground.
Now that they accurately landed, they were more frightened than hurt.
Gu Zuo wiped away some sweat: “Let’s wait for big brother to change his clothes before we do anything else.”
Before coming here, Gu Zuo and the others had changed into the clothing of this world. Although Gu Qi and Zhao Ji’s builds were very different from their own, Tianheng had many clothes of various sizes that Gu Zuo helped store inside his storage space while they were in the Cangyun Empire. These robes hadn’t been touched in years, but just so happened to be taken out for this pair to change into.
But now, while Gu Zuo, Gu Qi, and Zhao Ji were alright, Tianheng’s clothes had long been thoroughly ruined due to the corrosion of the power of chaos. If it wasn’t for the fact that the black cloak covering him was undamaged, then the result would’ve been...
But at this time, Tianheng couldn’t always be wearing the cloak, right?
Therefore, it was more practical to change into a new set of clothing.
Gu Qi didn’t have any objections, and neither did Zhao Ji.
Tianheng flicked his finger, and fired a reddish-gold light screen, which he walked into.
Once he came back out, he was wearing another full-body, sapphire-blue brocade robe like an elegant and unrestrained young master. As for the cloak, it had been transformed into a piece of underclothes, and worn at the innermost layer.
This was the first time Gu Qi saw Tianheng dressed up like this, and he couldn’t help secretly praising in his heart.
As it turned out, this...virtuous nephew was already handsome enough when he wore modern clothes, but now that he was wearing ancient robes, his appearance was truly splendid and radiant. The temperament of the whole person fit so well, and it was difficult to describe in words.
As he looked on, Gu Qi’s eyes were covered by someone.
Gu Qi was taken aback.
Off to the side, Gu Zuo was unable to restrain a smile, and his laughter echoed out.
The feeling of this pair of hands was very familiar. Who else could it have been if not Zhao Ji?
Gu Qi was silent, and pulled away Zhao Ji’s hands.
Zhao Ji: “Can’t look.”
Gu Qi was speechless: “That’s a younger generation.”
Zhao Ji persisted: “Can’t look. Only me.”
Gu Qi: “...”
Couldn’t you give this old man a bit of face in front of his foolish son and boyfriend?!
It was just a pity that the present Zhao Ji didn’t know the meaning of face at all.
Gu Qi gritted his teeth: “...Fine. I won’t look at anyone else. I’ll only look at you, okay?”
Zhao Ji and Gu Qi stayed facing each other.
Gu Qi couldn’t help reaching out to lightly pinch the other’s nose.
Zhao Ji allowed himself to be pinched.
Gu Qi also could only helplessly let go.
Gu Zuo felt that it was even funnier.
Although dad was always optimistic and hopeful, he had never seen dad being so active and lively. And previously, the image of father was already quite distant, but the current father was becoming clearer and clearer.
His parents...were also a very cute couple.
Off to the side, Tianheng had a smile on his face, and watched for quite a while. Then, he said: “This place isn’t near Ten Ultimates Sect. We should leave here, and find people to make discreet inquiries.”
When it came to discussing proper matters, Gu Qi also composed himself: “We’re just newcomers in this place. We’ll leave everything up to you, Tianheng. We’ll listen to whatever you have to say.”
Tianheng faintly smiled, and looked at Gu Zuo.
Gu Zuo blinked his eyes: “I’ve always listened to big brother.”
Tianheng’s gaze softened: “Okay, we’ll go out at once.”
Shortly thereafter, Gu Zuo put away the Void-Breaking Shuttle inside his Tianfu Acupoint. Following this, they walked towards the outside.
Their landing site was a dense and lush forest. If they wanted to find anyone to ask questions, they had to get out of this forest first.
Gu Zuo released his psychic power, and investigated whether the surroundings held any dangers.
The forests of the Central Continent weren’t necessarily safe. If the animals inside were only limited to wild beasts, there wouldn’t be any problems. However, if any origin beasts showed up, then their group wouldn’t have an easy time.
As a result, he needed to get a sense of the danger level within this forest.
Fortunately, in the vicinity of this large tract of forest, there were only wild beasts at most, and no signs of any danger. In other words, the creatures in this place weren’t enough to pose a threat to Gu Zuo. As such, it was naturally even more impossible to threaten Tianheng. With regards to them getting out of this forest, the certainty was much higher.
After walking for a period of time, Gu Zuo suddenly thought of something: “Dad, father. Are you guys hungry?”
On the Void-Breaking Shuttle, they hadn’t eaten a single thing.

First of all, Gu Zuo is a profound-level pharmacist at the Nurturing Psyche Realm, and his internal qi is at the Immortal Realm. His qi ocean’s manifestation is a lotus throne. For the time being, this lotus throne has the ability to absorb up to thirty-six wondrous flames for Gu Zuo to use freely. He has the orange Earthen Core Flame, the green Will-O-Wisp Yin Flame, and the purple Violet Bedrock Flame.
Gongyi Tianheng is an Immortal Realm martial artist with six qi oceans. His qi oceans and manifestations have been covered in the past few chapters, so they won’t be described here. To complete the five-elemental cycle, he still needs to acquire a yang-aligned wondrous metal to complement the Myriad Manifestation Supple Gold as well as wondrous earth that is balanced in yin and yang.
Their guardian contract is currently at Life and Death Companions. Besides the increased range of communication and sense of closeness, both sides are able to share a portion of any grievous or life-threatening wounds between them to prevent death.
Finally, they are affiliated with Ten Ultimates Sect, which is a veteran silver-ranked organization. Gongyi Tianheng is the most recently accepted disciple of the Blood Transformation Palace Master. Their connections and forces from the Southern Expanse won’t be discussed here.
The following is a loose briefing of their named subordinate forces. Under Tianheng’s command are mastiff, sighthound, and wild dog battle slaves and their attached racial groups, as well as the servile races of the Iron Ox, Gold-Devouring Mouse, Enlightened Hundred-Spirits Monkey, and Shadow-Morphing Black Cat. Under Gu Zuo’s command are the three Hu Clan siblings, the pharmacist forces of the Wu Clan and Tan Family, and the band of five orphans led by Xue Shen. Of course, both of them share everything, so Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng have frequently sent their own subordinates to serve the other person.
