Chapter 1266

Outside the Chaos Path Window, Gu Chen was about to leave.

The unprecedented battle had ended, and he didn't disappoint the efforts and expectations of the seniors. He finally managed to temporarily protect the universe that had raised him.

Now, he was about to embark on an unknown journey alone, hoping that one day, he would no longer be controlled by others.

For Gu Chen, going to the Xing County wasn't just to protect the Ninth World, but also to pursue a higher cultivation realm.

He had reached the peak in the Ninth World. If he wanted to go further, he had to enter the vast Chaos Sea.

He only informed a few of his closest companions about his departure, and they were all gathered outside the Chaos Path Window to see him off.

Gu Chen looked at his companions, but he didn't feel too emotional or reluctant. Perhaps it was because he was already used to parting.

If he had any regrets, it was that his wife and children couldn't see him off in his hometown.

Gu Chen missed his family, but with great power came great responsibility. He had to create a peaceful and happy home for them, and he had to leave in order to do that.

"All good things must come to an end. You can just see me off here."

Dressed in white, Gu Chen looked at his companions and said with a smile.

Zuo Chunqiu, Tang Ning, Penglai Island Lord, Li Shunyu, Hai Dongqing, Dragon Horse, Ghost Emperor, and the others nodded and stopped.

"Gu Chen, as your friend, I want you to promise me something," Tang Ning said solemnly.

"What is it?" Gu Chen listened attentively.

"If you go to the Xing County, the first thing you need to think about is your own safety. Don't worry about the Ninth World."

Tang Ning said solemnly. The others nodded. Obviously, this was their unanimous opinion.

"Master, even if it's impossible, we will try our best to protect this place. You must protect your life no matter what and come back to lead us," the green bull said.

"Kid, don't lose your life. We still have a duel to do."

Zuo Chunqiu said coldly.

Gu Chen looked at everyone's serious eyes and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. My life is precious and I can't bear to lose it."

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourselves!"

Gu Chen turned around, waved his hand elegantly and left.

Everyone stood still and watched him leave, praying and wishing him well in their hearts.

They didn't want to leave even after the unforgettable figure disappeared into the Chaos Path Window.

Gu Chen stepped into the Chaos Path Window. He was curious about this grey passage.

Wu Li had reached the border on the other side already, so he had to pass through this passage alone.

Apart from this passageway, the surroundings were completely blocked by primal chaos barriers. These barriers were formed by the condensation of primal chaos.

To Gu Chen, this Chaos Qi could be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar.

The Tyrannical Cauldron of Origin within him was filled with primal chaos energy. Furthermore, it had absorbed large amounts of immortal spiritual energy from the Primal Chaos Prime Stone back in the Immortal World. Therefore, it wasn't his first time coming into contact with primal chaos energy.

However, it was also unfamiliar. The Primal Chaos gave birth to all living things, but it also did not tolerate all living things. It was actually extremely dangerous. If one were to carelessly charge into the Primal Chaos barrier, it was said that nine out of ten would die.

"Why did the power that gave birth to all living things become the natural moat that obstructs all living things?"

Gu Chen wasn't in a hurry to rush to the other side of the tunnel. He stood beside the Primal Chaos Barrier and observed carefully while mumbling to himself.

As he did so, the Dominating Cauldron of Origin within his Dantian emitted a faint sound, as though it was reacting to the chaotic energy.

Gu Chen was deep in thought, but he suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look to the side.

There, a slender man dressed in a white robe with monkey hair growing on both sides of his face walked towards him.

Although his body still had some characteristics of an ape, and his tail was still exposed, it didn't affect his handsome appearance at all. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a handsome monkey king.

"Why did you follow me?"

Gu Chen asked in surprise. Previously, when he was sending him off, he did not see the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, which was a little strange to him.

He didn't expect the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor to change his attire and enter the Chaos Transit Window as though he was going on a long journey.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to Xing County with you. I'm going to leave on my own."

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor said proudly.

"Where are you going?"

"The Chaos Sea is very big. There must be a place that's suitable for me to explore."

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor glanced at the Primal Chaos Barrier behind Gu Chen and said unhappily. "You're not the only one who can do something for the Ninth Realm. My descendants are all here, and I'll do something for them too."

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor did not directly tell Gu Chen where he was going, and Gu Chen didn't ask much either, as he knew the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor's temperament.

The two of them fell into a strange silence, and the atmosphere was even a little awkward.

Gu Chen already knew that the little fellow who had been by his side for so many years was the reincarnation of Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor.

During those years, Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor was ignorant and had been by his side like a younger brother. Needless to say, the two of them were very close.

Gu Chen could even conclude that the person who understood him the most in this world was actually Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, as he had all the memories of the time when he was a white ape.

This was the only thing that was awkward. The little fellow had already recovered the memories of his previous life and had grown up. It was no longer appropriate for him to act coquettishly in front of Gu Chen or even stand on his shoulder.

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor was also very prideful. As an existence who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Celestial Emperor, he was probably even more embarrassed than Gu Chen when he recalled his dark history with Gu Chen.

Because of this, the two of them hadn't had a good chat since the end of the war.

Gu Chen looked carefully at Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor and realized that even though he was pretending to be calm, his expression was still a little bashful. Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph, what are you laughing at? Let me tell you, don't even think of touching my head. "

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor glared at him. It was obvious that he recalled how Gu Chen liked to touch his head in the past.

"I just didn't expect that the little fellow would grow up one day," Gu Chen lamented.

"Even though he's grown up, some of his memories are still there."

Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered as he murmured.

Even though he had recovered the memories of his previous life, he would never forget the time when Gu Chen fought for him with all his might on the main star of the Desolate God.

When he was on the brink of death, Gu Chen even used himself as a cauldron and fed him with his essence and blood, forcefully saving him from the gates of hell.

After that battle, the two of them became inseparable. To this day, Gu Chen's imprint was still left on his body.

"On your trip to the Xing County this time, there are many things that you need to take note of. I'll just remind you of one thing."
