However, one thing was for certain: the strength of these so-called seekers of immortality was nowhere near as terrifying as the legends suggested. With the assistance of the system and his breakthrough into the Xiantian Martial Realm, his future path of cultivation would be remarkably smooth.
Gu Gang knew clearly that unless the ancient gods descended upon the human world, he would not take anyone seriously—not the Queen Mother of the West, not King Mu of Zhou, nor Wang Zanghai, and not even the King Xian who remained un-dead within the Lingyun Immortal Palace. Because these characters were obsessed with achieving immortality, they were inextricably linked to ancient tombs or other peculiar locations. When the time came for him to visit these tombs, that would be the moment those people met their final end.
Seeing the grave expressions on the faces of Hu Bayi, Wang Fatty, and Gu Yi, Gu Gang smiled faintly. "There's no need to dwell on such messy thoughts. Since I could kill that avatar of King Mu of Zhou, I can just as easily finish off his true self. Whether they are dead or alive, we'll just sweep them away when we encounter them. These people are nothing more than a bit of added amusement for my tomb raiding; that’s not a bad thing, it saves life from being too dull."
