NOVEL WEB Ch. 124
Chapter 124: Emergency Summon
Gu Fan listened to Dudu's narration and seemed to be drawn into the life experience of that supreme powerhouse.
Although Dudu only used a few brief sentences to describe this person's life, Gu Fan could feel the immense strength of this master.
Fighting against others and even shattering a whole world—this alone showed how terrifying the strength of these people was.
And after coming to this world, even if only one-tenth of his power remained, he could still escape.
With this level of strength, he could probably rule this world outright at his peak.
“Dudu, I don’t remember anything you just said. Do you recall what happened after I escaped?”
Dudu thought for a moment and nodded adorably.
“After that, Master kept running with me. On the way, Master’s injuries worsened. With no other option, Master said he would bury himself and wait for a future return.”
“Master settled me in a place and then left on his own. Later, I could vaguely feel that you buried yourself.”
“In the end, I was brought here and have been waiting for your return ever since.”
After listening, Gu Fan was thoroughly shocked.
This unnamed ruthless person was truly ruthless—to others and to himself.
Or rather, this person loved to torment himself.
Because of his overwhelming strength, he felt bored and fought against himself, eventually losing his mind.
After going mad and being besieged, he came to this world, and due to poor physical condition, he actually buried himself!
The key was, from Dudu’s words, this master had left behind a fallback plan, intending to return someday!
At this thought, Gu Fan felt a chill in his heart and a creeping sense of dread.
According to the information Dudu provided, such a bigshot would never be resigned to dying just like that.
And a resurrection plan like this would never be simple.
Coupled with Dudu saying that he carried the master’s aura, he suddenly thought of a possible resurrection method.
That would be Soul Seizing and Parasitism!
For someone of this level, the talent and root bone of the body were completely irrelevant.
Resurrection would mainly rely on someone connected to him.
That is, establishing cause and effect!
And could that be what the Bronze Gate in his mind was?!
At this thought, Gu Fan felt another jolt of shock.
Could it be that he was chosen as the resurrection fallback?
Dudu saw the constant changes in Gu Fan’s expression and thought he had recalled something.
“Master, did you remember something?”
Gu Fan forced a bitter smile, rubbed her head, and said:
“Not yet. I think I’ve just returned recently, and it’ll take some time for my memories to recover.”
“If you remember anything interesting later, be sure to tell me. I’ll be on that second-highest peak over there, but don’t move your main body when you come.”
When Dudu heard she could go play with Master anytime, she jumped up happily.
“Okay, okay! I’ll visit Master often!”
Gu Fan nodded, then found an excuse to leave.
After descending the steps, Gu Fan reviewed the information he had just received in his mind.
Then he gave a helpless, bitter smile.
“Forget it. With a figure like that, there’s no point in me overthinking. I’d better focus on getting stronger.”
“No matter what, it’s still relatively safe within the sect right now. Even if the Holy Son wants to make a move on me, I won’t panic.”
“If it really comes to that, I’ll just summon the Dao Bell to suppress him. I don’t believe the sect would kill me right in front of the Dao Bell!”
At that thought, Gu Fan finally relaxed and headed toward Overlord Peak.
The days of cultivation always passed quickly.
During this period, Gu Fan frequently shuttled between the two realms. With the nourishment from the Evil Lotus, his strength had once again advanced, having broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Yang Realm.
Such a rapid pace of advancement made even Fang Xue envious after finding out. She exclaimed repeatedly that this was truly a talent capable of triggering the Nine Rings of the Dao Bell.
Unfortunately, the peaceful days did not last long.
On this day, the massive toll of a bell resounded, echoing across the skies above the Ten Peaks!
“All disciples of the Ten Peaks assemble immediately!”
“I repeat, all disciples of the Ten Peaks currently in the sect assemble immediately!”
“No matter if you are in seclusion or breaking through, assemble at once!”
Inside the cave residence, Gu Fan slowly opened his eyes. The moment the Dao Bell rang, he had already been jolted awake.
Now with this voice echoing repeatedly, summoning all disciples of the Ten Peaks, it made him feel puzzled.
“I’ve been here for quite a while, but never seen such a grand display. Looks like something big really happened?”
Gu Fan rose and walked out of the cave residence. At this moment, he saw all disciples of Overlord Peak had already come out and were rapidly heading toward Holy Son Peak.
This was the first time Gu Fan had encountered such a situation. Seeing Nanyun ahead, he immediately approached him.
“Senior Brother, what’s going on? This seems like a big deal?”
“Yeah, the last time there was such a big commotion was... last time!”
“……”
Gu Fan rolled his eyes.
“But really, since I joined the sect, this is my first time encountering something like this. So, I’m just as clueless as you are.”
After hearing that, Gu Fan furrowed his brows.
As far as he knew, Nanyun had joined Brahma God Sect for five or six years already.
And yet, something that hadn’t happened in those five or six years occurred just after he entered?
Moreover, something that hadn’t happened for such a long time couldn’t be anything trivial.
“Forget it. We’ll find out what’s going on soon.”
Everyone continued on their way, and after descending the mountain, they saw people from the other peaks all converging toward Holy Son Peak.
According to Gu Fan’s observation, most people wore confused expressions. Only a few had serious faces, and some even looked excited.
In the end, the crowd all gathered at the summit of Holy Son Peak.
At this moment, a man dressed in white robes slowly floated out from within the Holy Son Palace and appeared before everyone.
Gu Fan looked up at the person—this was his first time seeing the Holy Son in person.
The Holy Son had extremely delicate and feminine features, appearing as beautiful as a woman, yet his entire aura was incomparably powerful.
Behind him, divine radiance faintly appeared. Atop his head hovered a seven-tiered pagoda, emitting wisps of purple mist that enveloped him.
One couldn’t help but think of the phrase—handsome as jade, peerless in the world.
Beside him stood a stunningly beautiful female disciple.
She was none other than Fang Xue of Overlord Peak.
Behind the two, eight others appeared one after another.
They were presumably the Peak Masters of the other eight peaks.
A moment later, the Holy Son looked down at everyone below.
“Everyone, the rift has reopened after fifteen years. Some of you may have entered it before, but for most, this may be the first time you’re hearing of it.”
He then looked toward a man behind him, whose robes identified him as the Peak Master of Sumeru Peak.
The man noticed the Holy Son’s gaze and instantly understood, revealing a nearly flattering smile as he said:
“Holy Son, allow me to explain to everyone, so they can be prepared.”
The Holy Son nodded faintly in response and signaled for the Peak Master of Sumeru Peak to step forward.
“Everyone, I am the Peak Master of Sumeru Peak. I will now explain why you have all been urgently summoned!”
As he finished, he waved his hand grandly, and a map formed from light appeared in midair!
