464: Let's set off for the Immortal Realm!

In his perception, within the vast and ever-evolving world of the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield, a transformation far more intense and thorough than that of the Dao Zang Academy was taking place!

In the area where time flowed a hundred times faster, the Spiritual Qi had become so dense that it turned into liquid spiritual rain, drizzling down with ten thousand rays of rosy light, containing the most primal Power of Creation.

Xuan Yangzi and the five Sect Old Ancestors sat cross-legged in the center of the spiritual rain, like five eternal rocks.

The mountains of Spiritual Veins and Saint Medicines before them were melting at a visible rate, turning into the purest torrents of Origin, greedily absorbed and refined by them.

Their auras were like sleeping volcanoes, accumulating terrifying power in the silence, steadily advancing toward the distant Pseudo-Emperor Realm barrier!

Several Peak Masters were grinning at the phantom of an ancient sword floating in a Thunder Pool, emitting Extreme Dao pressure, as if they had found a priceless treasure.

In the broader Trial World, the scene was even more spectacular.

Qingxuan Disciples were scattered across countless perilous environments such as jungles, deserts, glaciers, volcanoes, and Thunder Marshes, fighting life-and-death battles with various powerful beings evolved from the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield.

Roars, the clashing of weapons, the explosions of Spells, and the long cries of mid-battle Breakthroughs rose and fell, merging into a passionate and cruel symphony of becoming stronger.

Almost every moment, a Disciple would gain enlightenment at the brink of life and death, their aura surging and triggering a small-scale backflow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Breaking through from the King Realm into the Saint Realm was no longer rare, and there were even those with extraordinary talent who forged a unique fighting will in battle, their Foundations terrifyingly solid.

The Peak Masters and Elite Elders of each peak were active in areas containing special fortunes or extreme dangers.

The entire Azure Profound Sect, from the Old Ancestors to the ordinary Disciples, saw their strength soaring at an astonishing speed.

Gu Changge looked at the majestic and vibrant Azure Profound Sect and then gazed toward the Xuanhuang Great World.

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continued to rise, and making a Breakthrough had become much easier.

The Saint Realm was no longer an unreachable peak; auras of the Saint King and Great Saint levels were springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain all over Xuanhuang.

Some old monsters who had been in seclusion for many years were also stirred by the unprecedented prosperity of this era, either coming out to travel or seeking successors.

Gu Changge withdrew his gaze; it was time to deal with the thorn that was the Chengyun Immortal Palace, he thought to himself.

"Ji Mie."

His voice was not loud, but it spread clearly across the Zizhu Peak.

Almost the instant his voice fell, the space of the Zizhu Peak rippled slightly, and the figure of Great Emperor Ji Mie quietly appeared, bowing and standing respectfully.

"Exalted One, your subordinate is here."

"I need to go out for a while, so I will leave the Sect in your care."

Gu Changge's tone was flat, and he then added, "It could be as short as a few days or as long as a few months."

Great Emperor Ji Mie's heart shook slightly upon hearing this. The Exalted One usually lived in seclusion; why did he need to be away for months this time?

Seeing that Gu Changge didn't elaborate, he didn't dare to ask more and immediately bowed his head in response: "By your command! Ji Mie will do his utmost to guard our home!"

Gu Changge nodded slightly and looked at the black Dragon Xiao Bai wrapped around his wrist: "Xiao Bai, you will come with me this time."

"Yes! Master!" A clear dragon roar rang out with uncontrollable excitement.

"It's finally my turn to follow Master out on business!" Xiao Bai was jubilant.

Thinking about how Xiao Hei had shown off so many times before, it couldn't help but glance toward the Dao Zang Academy, thinking: That silly bird can just stay home and guard the door; this time, it's my job!

Although it didn't know the specific destination, seeing the slight, unusual solemnity in Gu Changge's expression, Xiao Bai also put away its playful heart, a sharp light flashing in its dragon eyes.

After all matters were properly arranged, Gu Changge's mind sank into the System interface.

"System, how many years of cultivation are required to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm Perfection?"

"Ding! Calculating based on the Host's current Foundation and the Hongmeng Primordial Art..."

"Calculation complete. To break through from the True Immortal Realm Nine Heavens to the Heavenly Immortal Realm Perfection, a cultivation cost of 8,000 years is required."

"Eight thousand years..."

Gu Changge's fingertips unconsciously tapped on the armrest of his bamboo chair.

His gaze swept across the temporarily stored thirty million years of cultivation on the System panel.

It was fine; he could afford this small consumption.

From the fragmented memories obtained through Soul searching earlier, he knew that the highest combat power on the surface of the Immortal Domain fragment where the Chengyun Immortal Palace was located was the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But the memories were fragmented, and there was no guarantee there wouldn't be hidden old monsters or incorrect information.

A cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm might not be enough to handle all variables.

"To be safe, after arriving, I will increase my cultivation to a level sufficient to crush everything depending on the situation."

With these thirty million years of cultivation, he didn't believe he couldn't handle them.

Gu Changge made up his mind, and without further hesitation, he stood up.

"Let's go."

Taking a step forward, space distorted, and the figures of Gu Changge and Xiao Bai on his wrist disappeared without a trace from the top of the Zizhu Peak.

The next moment, outside the thick and crystalline barrier of the Xuanhuang Great World, in the cold and dead Chaos Void, Gu Changge and Xiao Bai quietly appeared.

Looking around, there were only endless gray currents of Qi slowly rolling, swallowing light and sound, with broken star remains and cold continental fragments dotting the distance—a scene of desolation and nothingness.

Gu Changge's white clothes fluttered, and a clear light flowed around his body, easily pushing away the encroaching Chaos Qi.

However, the moment they stepped out of the Xuanhuang Great World's barrier—

"Roar—!"

A dragon roar filled with alarm and disbelief suddenly rang out!

Xiao Bai, wrapped around Gu Changge's wrist, felt as if it had been hit by an invisible giant hammer; its dragon body stiffened abruptly and then expanded and manifested uncontrollably!

Amidst the surging black light, a black Dragon's true form, ten thousand feet long with ferocious scales and majestic dragon prestige, appeared in this dead Chaos Void!

Its massive dragon pupils were filled with extreme shock and confusion. It subconsciously coiled up, protecting Gu Changge in the center, warily scanning this terrifying environment of absolute nothingness.

"Master! This is the Chaos outside the realm?!"

Xiao Bai's voice carried a tremor from the Soul level.

Although it was a True Dragon with a noble Bloodline, it was born and raised in Xuanhuang. This was the first time it had truly set foot in the primordial Chaos that gave birth to ten thousand worlds yet also buried them!

Gu Changge stood atop the dragon's head, his white clothes motionless in the Chaos currents.

He gently patted Xiao Bai's cold and tense dragon scales, his tone flat but carrying the power to soothe the heart:

"Calm down. Although this place is Chaos, it cannot harm your Emperor Realm body."

Feeling the calmness in Gu Changge's words and the clear light that invisibly propped up an absolutely safe area.

The panic in Xiao Bai's huge dragon pupils gradually subsided, transforming into a deeper curiosity and awe.

It cautiously extended its Divine Thought and began to feel this violent and primitive Law environment, which was completely different from the intra-realm.

Gu Changge continued indifferently: "Our trip this time is to see that so-called 'Immortal Realm'."

Immortal Realm?!

These two words were like a clap of Chaos thunder, exploding within Xiao Bai's massive dragon Soul!
