Success Due to the Little Corpse Spirit, Failure Due to the Little Corpse Spirit

I truly never expected that one day, I, the Emperor, would also become the protagonist of an Immortal Emperor rebirth trope.

However, the fact that I can practice all the cultivation methods in my memories further proves my guess. Everything that happened before was not a dream. This must all be the doing of the Dao Lord.

This Dao Lord has a mysterious origin and behaves bizarrely. He clearly has enough power to make the system disappear, yet he plays these kinds of tricks.

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself. Then, he took a step forward. The void instantly rippled like the surface of a lake, and he vanished from sight.

If anyone were here, they would definitely be shocked. Stepping across the void!

This was simply not something a Grandmaster realm cultivator could achieve.

With his Grandmaster realm cultivation, he could already leverage the entire world and freely mobilize its laws.

Gu Qingfeng shuttled through the void. He planned to visit his old acquaintances and see if he could remember exactly what he had forgotten.

His first stop was naturally the closest one, Li Qianren.

At this moment, Li Qianren was studying an alchemy scripture, with a beautiful vixen spirit grinding ink by his side.

He didn't reveal himself; he merely took a couple of glances and left.

Then, with a shift of his thoughts, he went to the mountain god temple where the Wooden King Sword was hidden. He took the sword out and carefully played with it.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a miasma of corpse energy permeating the air not far away. Gu Qingfeng seemed to remember something, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

In a forest, a graceful young lady of an official family, wearing a veil, was being protected in the center by a group of guards. Hundreds of zombies were surrounding them. Not far away, a man in a black robe was commanding the zombies.

And he was letting out a wicked, eerie laugh.

It's Si Wei and the Blood Demon Cult's White Bone Master.

Looking at the familiar plotline, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh. He then pointed a finger. The White Bone Master and the hundreds of zombies instantly turned to ash, leaving only a bewildered Si Wei and her guards behind.

Waving his hand without taking away a single cloud, Gu Qingfeng departed.

Seeing the White Bone Master couldn't help but remind him of an old friend.

Demon Pu.

Inside the headquarters of the Blood Demon Cult.

Demon Pu was standing respectfully beside the Blood Demon, the two of them secretly plotting something unknown.

Lord Blood Demon, your subordinate has formulated a detailed plan. First, we will lure away Li Qianren, and then...

Yo, Demon Pu, weren't you going to devour the Blood Demon and take his place? What's wrong? You still haven't succeeded?

Suddenly, a soft chuckle echoed from the void.

Demon Pu and the Blood Demon instantly turned pale with fright.

Especially Demon Pu—how could he not panic when the little secret at the bottom of his heart was exposed by someone?

Who is it!?

Gu Qingfeng slowly stepped out of the void.

The two became even more panicked. Traveling through space—just who was this person!?

Looking at the panicked duo, Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, Considering that you did your utmost when you acted as my dog back then, today, I, the Emperor, will fulfill your dream.

As he spoke, under their bewildered gazes, Gu Qingfeng extended a finger and lightly tapped toward the Blood Demon.

Ahhh!!!

The Blood Demon let out a miserable shriek as his body instantly exploded, turning into a crystal-clear drop of blood that shot into Demon Pu's mouth with a whoosh.

Demon Pu was instantly overwhelmed by the sudden, violent power. A majestic aura continuously rose from his body, leaving him both bewildered and ecstatic.

Just who are you...

Just as Demon Pu finished asking, he found that the person had already disappeared.

When Gu Qingfeng reappeared, he had already arrived at Black Water Village, the territory of the Mirror Demon.

Looking at the peaceful Black Water Village, which resembled a worldly utopia, Gu Qingfeng merely shifted his thoughts, and the entire village was instantly annihilated like a collapsing mountain, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and smoke.

In the next second, an invisible giant hand scooped up a little boy with a topknot named Goushengzi from the dust.

Gu Qingfeng pinched Goushengzi by the neck and smiled, Goushengzi, you still owe this Emperor two copper coins.

..........

Gu Qingfeng made a huge round, visiting almost all of his acquaintances from the past. Whether they were human or demon, he went to see them all, feeling extremely nostalgic.

Finally, he went to the Dark Realm and checked on Shang Xinyan, who was still serving as the Dark Empress. Afterward, he went to the Myriad Demon Kingdom and met the Green Demon Emperor.

He did not disturb anyone. Instead, he directly went to the altar that connected to the Cangming Realm, opened it, and prepared to head there.

But just then, an accident occurred.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the altar in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

It was because the altar had indeed opened the passage to the upper realm, yet the upper realm was a stretch of nothingness, as if the Cangming Realm did not exist at all.

How is this possible!? Could it be that I did not return to the past? Gu Qingfeng said in shock.

He had previously thought that he had returned to the past, but now he realized that this was not the case at all.

Because there was no Cangming Realm.

There was only the original Azure Realm.

Aside from the Azure Realm, there was nothing else outside—only a void of nothingness.

Gu Qingfeng's expression turned ugly. Could it be that the Dao Lord's goal was to trap him to death within this so-called Azure Realm?

He even suspected that this Azure Realm was highly likely a fragment that the Dao Lord had intercepted from the river of time to trap him inside.

This put him in a difficult position. Even with countless divine abilities and wondrous methods, it would be very hard to break this deadlock. The Azure Realm was simply too small; even if he devoured it, he would be completely unable to become an immortal.

It was just like how shallow waters could not raise a shark.

Dao Lord! I know you can hear me. What is your purpose! Gu Qingfeng shouted at the firmament.

However, he did not receive a response from the Dao Lord. Instead, he attracted the attention of the Myriad Demon Kingdom.

After all, he was currently within the Myriad Demon Kingdom.

The Green Demon Emperor quickly arrived with his subordinates. Upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, his eyes widened to the point of tearing. Even though it was their first meeting, the Green Demon Emperor felt a deep-seated hatred toward Gu Qingfeng right down to his bones.

Lowly human, who are you to dare trespass into the Myriad Demon...

Boom!

The Green Demon Emperor's entire body exploded like a firecracker. He didn't even get to finish his sentence.

Although he was the noble ruler of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, unfortunately, he encountered a Gu Qingfeng in a bad mood, and was obliterated by a mere glance from the latter.

It seemed like just a glance, but in reality, Gu Qingfeng had directly mobilized the power of the Azure Realm. With that majestic might added to him, the Green Demon Emperor died.

After the Green Demon Emperor died, the demons were left leaderless, looking at Gu Qingfeng in panic one by one.

They had never imagined that their supreme Demon Emperor would be instantly killed by someone's glance. This death was simply too tragic.

However, what they didn't know was that the last time, the Green Demon Emperor died an even more miserable death; this time, at least he didn't suffer any psychological trauma.

Gu Qingfeng ignored the panicked demons and instead returned once more to the place where the dream began.

The Demon Suppression Prison.

His mind was a bit chaotic right now, and he hadn't thought of a way to break the deadlock.

The Dao Lord was too strong—so strong that even the system could not resist him.

Now that he was imprisoned in the Azure Realm once again, it seemed that everything was already a foregone conclusion.

Late at night.

Gu Qingfeng stood before the gloomy and terrifying Demon Suppression Prison, watching it calmly.

The Demon Suppression Prison appeared even more terrifying at night.

Yet, he felt exceptionally intimate with it.

To him, this was not only the place where the dream began, but also the place where he met the Little Corpse Charm.

Little Corpse Charm, the woman who had followed him from the very beginning to the end, was also his favorite woman.

After all, who would not love a woman who could transform into a myriad of appearances?

"Sigh."

Gu Qingfeng suddenly let out a sigh. "It is just a pity that the current Little Corpse Charm is no longer the Little Corpse Charm who used to mold herself into This Emperor's shape."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly gave a violent jolt, as if he had just realized something.

"Little Corpse Charm... what is her real name? This Emperor remembers she mentioned it once, but why can I not recall it?"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes gradually widened. "This Emperor finally knows what I forgot! The name, Little Corpse Charm's name!

Damn it, what on earth is Little Corpse Charm's name?"

He racked his brains for a long time but still could not remember Little Corpse Charm's name.

However, his intuition told him that all of these events probably had inextricably close ties to Little Corpse Charm.

Thinking back on it now, when he first obtained the system, it was because of Little Corpse Charm, and the system's disappearance was due to the enhanced version of Little Corpse Charm.

Why did the Dao Lord look so much like Little Corpse Charm?

Countless mysteries surged into his mind, giving Gu Qingfeng a headache.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him!

Gu Qingfeng shivered as realization dawned on him. He suddenly remembered a divination he had once cast for himself, which yielded a hexagram of only a few words.

Only Gu Qingfeng... not Li Mingyue!

Li Mingyue!!!
