Chapter 586: Chapter 586

Gu Jianlin understood himself very well. If not for some major setback in the future, he would never have said such things.

He cast an inquiring glance, wanting to know the true identity of that wicked woman.

"I can't recall her name, nor can I remember her appearance. I am merely a reflection of destiny and cannot see the full picture of the future. I only have a vague intuition. Moreover, the matter involves very high-level entities. In short, you must exercise caution, or else you will suffer greatly in the days to come." The man drove his sword into the ground and sat down cross-legged.

The faint starlight reflected off his expressionless face, and his silhouette seemed so desolate in the darkness of the night.

This future version of Gu Jianlin seemed to exhibit little change in personality—still cold and distant towards others, yet unfailingly polite. Even after killing so many people, he carried no scent of blood on him.

Lu Zijin studied him with interest and asked curiously, "Does Xiao Gu have a girlfriend in the future?"

The little spark of gossip reignited her curiosity.

Su Youzhu appeared impassive but secretly perked up her ears to listen attentively.

Gu Jianlin's face darkened, feeling like they were taking advantage of his plight.

"Is Aunt Zijin still this nosy?"

The man glanced at the young man before him and gave a slight nod. "He should have one."

He didn't seem entirely certain, though.

But what he said next left everyone stunned.

"A Floral Evil that lasted a full ten years."

He smiled silently. "Not an easy feat, was it."

Gu Jianlin felt a strange gaze from beside him and couldn't help but explain, "You can't completely trust the words of a Destiny Reflection."

If the curse wasn't resolved, how could he possibly approach women?

People truly underestimated his self-control.

Su Youzhu snorted softly. She had just been about to ask if the girlfriend in question might be herself.

Lu Zijin pouted. "I thought I was about to uncover some major secret."

Gu Jianlin couldn't be bothered with their antics and instead asked seriously, "Who taught you your Sword Skill?"

The man answered, "Uncle Mu."

Gu Jianlin suddenly understood. "Has the Gu Family's curse been lifted?"

The man fell silent for a moment. His gaze grew lost in confusion, and he murmured softly, "It's not a curse."

This statement should have been earth-shattering.

But in reality, even Lu Zijin didn't show much surprise. She simply said, "Old Gu had suspected as much back in the day. If explained in layman's terms, the Gu Family was indeed cursed by the Fusang Divine Palace. But in the terminology of the Transcendent, it's absolutely not a curse. That is, assuming the Ghost Car Ancestor you witnessed is real."

Su Youzhu, who had also experienced the events back then, remembered vividly the Ancient Times' oppressive might she had felt. It was as if her soul was on the verge of being shattered. That was why she had arrived late and was only able to perform emergency aid on the boy in the passenger seat.

"What makes the Gu Family so special?"

Gu Jianlin frowned as he asked.

The man shook his head and said, "I can't tell either. I only have some vague and fragmented impressions. This matter is far more complex than you think. But while you're on Penglai Fairy Island, you should uncover some answers."

Gu Jianlin looked toward the massive bronze palace and fell into deep thought.

"The Sea of Eternal Life itself is an extraordinary place, and the origins of Penglai Fairy Island are even more mysterious. There are things here that even I find astonishing, and they are of critical importance. Don't underestimate me. Even though I'm currently only at the Fourth Rank, at the point in time when I was reflected, even Rhein and Lin Dong together were no match for me."

The man spoke softly, "My existence here is an anomaly. Perhaps it's because of your unique nature that I've managed to break through this realm's rules and gain faint awareness of certain truths."

He lifted his head to gaze at the night sky and said calmly, "Pay attention."

He raised his hand and gave a casual wave!

A thunderous roar erupted!

The clouds in the sky were swept away, revealing a canopy of stars now shining brilliantly in the darkness.

Heaven knows what kind of god-defying technique this was.

An overwhelming surge of energy rose into the sky, so immense it defied observation.

As the starlight brightened, it illuminated the titanic shadow lurking in the night sky.

The first to come into view was an enormous Black Qilin, like a gathering of dark clouds standing atop the heavens. It exuded such ancient majesty, embodying darkness itself, with life and death intertwined.

Opposite it rose a Black Dragon spiraling into the sky, coiling between heaven and earth. Its presence was regal and imposing, as though it had leaped straight out of ancient mythology. It radiated a profound and ancient beauty that inspired awe.

They hovered loftily in the high heavens, so grand and sovereign.

Beyond reach, beyond comprehension.

"Qilin, Candle Dragon."

Gu Jianlin softly uttered their ancient names. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Like you, I heard the cries for help from the deepest part of this city. I also cannot determine whether this person is Xu Fu or his condition. But this extraordinary world is impossible for mortals to construct. Only two Ancient Supremes could create such a realm; otherwise, the rules of destiny could not exist here."

The man analyzed, "I'm not suggesting that the Qilin and Candle Dragon collaborated. In my understanding, they've always been sworn enemies. The more likely scenario is that one Supreme's creation was taken over by the other."

Gu Jianlin was thoughtful. Since this was his own Destiny Reflection, it carried considerable credibility.

"I don't know who trapped Xu Fu here, but this place might prove to be exceedingly hazardous."
