Not far away, beside the bamboo house, Xiao Ruobai and the others had not gone far.
The conversation between Ling Xi and her master had not been deliberately concealed. With their extraordinary hearing, the group had naturally heard most of it.
Xiao Ruobai gazed at Ling Xi’s retreating figure, his eyes flickering slightly.
He had long since sensed that Ling Xi was shrouded in mystery, but he had never imagined that she was actually the reincarnation of a Great Emperor from a previous life—and that even the fate of her homeland was now uncertain.
A faint resonance flashed through Mo Yu’s crimson-gold eyes.
He, too, bore the legacy of his people and an unknown destiny. He could deeply empathize with Ling Xi’s anxiety and hope.
Fang Hanyu, Fatty Wang, and the others also watched Ling Xi, their expressions complicated.
The evening breeze carried the fragrance of bamboo and dispersed the last trace of tension lingering over Violet Bamboo Peak. Yet beneath the calm, the hidden battle intent grew increasingly intense.
Gu Changge sat upright before the stone table, taking everything in.
With a wave of his hand, a hazy, pale-golden radiance appeared in his palm.
Within the glow, galaxies seemed to rise and fall while countless laws intertwined. It was the small amount of remaining World Origin that he had reclaimed from the Immortal Palace of Providence and the other forces—origin that belonged to the Profound Yellow Great World.
With a flick of his finger, the World Origin transformed into a stream of light, shooting into the sky and vanishing into the depths of the Profound Yellow Great World’s firmament.
Silently, the entire world seemed to tremble ever so slightly. Even the spiritual energy in the air appeared to grow several degrees richer.
Only after completing this did Gu Changge close his eyes and sink his mind into his body.
“System, sign in!”
Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in and obtained ten thousand years of cultivation!
Congratulations, host. You have obtained ten portions of World Origin!
Congratulations, host. You have obtained one billion supreme-grade immortal stones!
Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Immortal Emperor weapon, the World-Suppressing Dragon-Pattern Armor!
The instant the system notifications ended, the three treasures appeared in Gu Changge’s storage space.
With a thought, he turned his attention to the Immortal Emperor armor.
The armor was forged entirely from violet-gold dragon-patterned immortal metal. Countless ancient Dao patterns were engraved across its plates, while dragon patterns wound and coiled over its surface.
They seemed almost alive, and every single pattern contained terrifying power capable of suppressing the universe and resisting attacks from the Immortal Emperor realm.
A faint layer of Emperor Dao laws also lingered over the World-Suppressing Dragon-Pattern Armor. It was a source power that only a true Immortal Emperor could refine.
An ordinary Immortal Emperor’s strike would probably do nothing more than stir a ripple upon the armor’s surface. Breaking through its defenses would be nearly impossible.
A trace of satisfaction flashed through Gu Changge’s eyes.
With this armor protecting him, he would have considerably more confidence even if he entered the depths of the Immortal Domain in the future and encountered even more powerful enemies.
His gaze then fell upon the ten newly acquired portions of World Origin.
Including the nine portions he already had, Gu Changge now held a total of nineteen portions of World Origin.
Through the sea of clouds above Violet Bamboo Peak, Gu Changge’s gaze swept across the entire Profound Yellow Great World.
“I wonder what will happen if I fuse all nineteen portions of World Origin into the Profound Yellow Great World?”
He muttered to himself, his fingers rubbing against the clusters of Origin containing immense vitality.
But after a moment of thought, he shook his head slightly.
The Profound Yellow Great World had only recently recovered from the weakness caused by the loss of its Origin, and it had yet to stabilize completely.
It was like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. If they suddenly consumed a powerful tonic, it might not benefit them at all. Instead, they could be overwhelmed by it—or even attract unpredictable prying eyes.
“Eating too much at once can easily cause problems. I’ll start with three portions and see how it goes.”
Gu Changge no longer hesitated and flicked his finger.
The three portions of World Origin instantly transformed into three golden rivers, soaring into the sky and plunging into the core of the Profound Yellow Great World.
Boom!
This time, the tremor of heaven and earth was no longer faint. A thunderous roar like the creation of the world swept across every corner of the Profound Yellow Great World!
Above the firmament, multicolored auspicious clouds stretched for thousands of miles. Countless streams of auspicious light descended upon the earth, while the phantom images of stars emerged. The power of the celestial bodies poured down from the heavens, intertwining with the spiritual energy of the world and forming a rain of light that filled the sky.
Beneath the earth, billions of dormant spirit veins awakened in a frenzy. The thick veins rolled and twisted like enormous dragons and serpents.
Spiritual springs burst from the ground and transformed into surging waterfalls. The spiritual energy grew so dense that it directly condensed into crystalline spirit crystals, covering the mountains, rivers, and valleys.
Most astonishing of all, the territory of the Profound Yellow Great World began expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The domains that had once been separated by tens of thousands of miles were connected by continuously emerging land. The oceans widened, while the mountains rose higher.
The entire world’s size increased several times in an instant, already taking on the rudimentary form of an Immortal Domain.
The strength of its spatial fabric underwent an even more earth-shaking transformation!
Previously, the spatial barriers of the Profound Yellow Great World had been weak. A single strike from a Saint could tear space apart and trigger spatial turbulence.
But now, even if a Great Saint exerted all their strength and blasted the void with the power in their palm, they could only produce a faint ripple. They could not leave behind even the slightest crack.
Within the void, the laws of the Dao intertwined into a net, becoming as stable as iron.
The aura of the Great Dao grew clearer than ever before!
The Dao resonances that had once been obscure and difficult to comprehend now rang out clearly throughout the world. Whether it was the Dao of the sword, the Dao of alchemy, or the Dao of techniques, distinct phantoms of laws emerged, offering cultivators a chance to comprehend them.
Countless cultivators who had been secluded in meditation were startled awake by this immense power of Origin and the lucid aura of the Great Dao.
Bottlenecks that had once seemed immovable were shattered like thin paper. One breakthrough after another resounded through the world.
The cultivators emerged from their secluded abodes and looked up at the heavens. As they watched the world’s territory continue to expand and beams of Dao light descend from above, cheers rang out across the skies.
The Great Dao that had once been impossible to touch was now within reach. Countless people achieved sudden enlightenment on the spot, their cultivation realms rising rapidly. Even their lifespans increased along with their breakthroughs.
The entire Profound Yellow Great World was swept into an unprecedented tide of breakthroughs. The vitality of heaven and earth surged to its peak, and the world’s foundation continued to grow thicker.
It already showed faint signs of breaking free from the shackles of being a “lower realm” and advancing toward a higher level of existence.
Seated upon Violet Bamboo Peak, Gu Changge quietly watched everything unfold, a trace of satisfaction flashing through his eyes.
At that moment, the void around him rippled faintly, and a hazy figure quietly emerged.
It was the World Will of the Profound Yellow Great World!
It instinctively knew who had brought about this great ascension, who had restored its foundation, and who had granted it limitless potential.
Sensing the familiar, affectionate intent, Gu Changge’s lips curved upward. He reached out and gently caressed the invisible entity before him.
“Grow well. The road ahead is still long.”
The World Will sent out an even more cheerful wave of fluctuations and circled Gu Changge twice, as though making a promise.
Only then did it slowly dissipate, returning to heaven and earth to better guide and digest this earth-shaking ascension.
Gu Changge looked upon the world, now renewed and filled with limitless potential, and nodded in satisfaction.
“Three portions of Origin produced an even better result than I expected. The foundation of the great world is now incredibly solid—more than enough to support a future of even greater glory.”
His gaze shifted toward the interior of the Azure Mystic Sect, then toward the Cangyun Secret Realm.
“Then let’s add two more portions and completely transform this sect as well.”

From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them.
