466: System, fill it up!

There were too few clues, making it difficult to deduce anything.

Gu Changge pondered for a moment before no longer dwelling on it.

A minor interlude would not affect the overall situation; in the face of absolute strength, even if there were undercurrents, they would not be able to stir up any major waves.

"Let's go."

He did not stay any longer, and along with Xiaobai, he turned into an imperceptible streak of light, continuing to speed toward the coordinates of the Chengyun Immortal Palace.

After traveling through the Chaos for an unknown amount of time, the scenery ahead gradually changed.

The eternal dead silence and void began to recede, replaced by a contradictory aura of decay mixed with tenacious vitality.

Gu Changge stopped his movement, his white clothes fluttering slightly in the rippling currents of Chaos Qi.

He looked up and saw a massive fragment of land floating in the endless Void Realm.

This was the Chengyun Immortal Domain.

Rather than an Immortal Domain, it was more like a scarred wreck of a world.

The edges of the fragment were extremely irregular, covered in hideous cracks, as if it had been torn apart by an unimaginable force.

The boundary of the entire fragment continent was continuously and slowly leaking thin Immortal Essence into the Chaos.

Although the dissipation was slow, it was constant, like a dying giant irreversibly losing its final life essence.

It was this long-term loss that led to the thinness and instability of the Immortal Essence here.

However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if it was just a fragment of the Immortal Realm, its scale far exceeded the Xuanhuang Great World below, being vast and boundless.

His gaze pierced through the thin and restless mist of Immortal Essence, looking into the interior of the continent.

He saw magnificent mountains and rivers, with the faint outlines of former immortal landscapes. Countless cities, palaces, and Sects, some grand and some exquisite, were scattered across it like stars on a chessboard.

Auras of varying strengths dotted the vast land like stars.

Cultivators in the Saint Realm were everywhere here.

There were also many auras of the Void Immortal Realm presiding over various regions.

As for the pressure of the True Immortal Rank, it was like a lighthouse in the dark; although far fewer in number than the first two, it clearly indicated the backbone of this land.

This was a decaying yet still powerful territory belonging to immortals.

Gu Changge watched quietly for a moment before slowly withdrawing his gaze and sinking his mind into the System interface.

"System, what is the maximum level of power this place can withstand?"

"Ding! Detecting... Detection complete."

The System's pleasant notification sound immediately rang out.

"Although this place is broken, its Origin level still belongs to the Immortal Dao territory. The highest cultivation level it can carry is the Immortal Emperor Realm."

"Immortal Emperor Realm?" Gu Changge's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

He had not learned of this Realm when he had previously searched the souls of those two True Immortals.

From the memory fragments of those two, he only knew that the known Realms of the Immortal Domain were divided into: True Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Immortal Lord... Above that, it was a blur, or perhaps those two were simply at a level where they had no way of knowing.

"What kind of Realm is the Immortal Emperor?" he asked in his mind.

"To the Host, the division of Realms in the complete Immortal Domain, above the Immortal Lord, also includes Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Venerable, Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperor, totaling nine major Realms. The Immortal Emperor is the Peak of the Immortal Dao."

A look of realization flashed in Gu Changge's eyes, which then returned to their deep state.

"Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Venerable, Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor... There are actually so many Realms."

Previously, with his reserve of over thirty million years of cultivation, he felt he could already act without restraint.

Only now did he realize that the path of immortality is long, and there are still many peaks above.

His thoughts moved quickly as he calculated: "Previously, it was estimated that breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm Perfection would require eight thousand years of cultivation."

"I wonder how much cultivation is needed to advance from the True Immortal Realm to the Immortal Emperor Realm Perfection?"

"System, how many years of cultivation reserve are needed to raise my cultivation to the Immortal Emperor Realm Perfection?"

"Ding! Calculating based on the Host's Foundation and current True Immortal Realm Nine Heavens cultivation... Calculating..."

After a brief silence, the System gave a number:

"Calculation complete. To reach the Immortal Emperor Realm Perfection, it is estimated that 500,000 years of cultivation will be consumed."

500,000 years?

Gu Changge was slightly stunned.

This number was much less than he had expected.

He had originally thought that crossing the eight major Realms from True Immortal, Earth Immortal... to Quasi-Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor to reach the Peak of the Immortal Dao would surely require an astronomical amount of cultivation.

He had even prepared himself mentally for the possibility that consuming all his cultivation would not be enough.

After all, when the System mentioned the Immortal Emperor Realm just now, the words 'Peak of the Immortal Dao' had brought him real pressure.

But now... 500,000 years?

Gu Changge's Divine Sense swept over the brilliant eight-digit number on the System panel.

His previous sigh about the path of immortality being long and full of peaks vanished instantly.

Was he just worrying unnecessarily?

A moment later, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the last trace of solemnity in his eyes caused by the unknown Realm completely dissipated.

It turned out that the so-called Peak of the Immortal Dao was just a small matter in the face of his cultivation reserve.

"System, max it out for me!"

Gu Changge's spirit soared!

"Ding! Consuming 500,000 years of cultivation reserve, beginning infusion..."

The moment the System notification fell, an indescribably majestic force surged from the source, gently and firmly pouring into his limbs, bones, Divine Soul, and Dao Foundation.

This was not a simple accumulation of energy, but the ultimate leap in life level and the essence of power!

Gu Changge stood in the Chaos Void, his eyes slightly closed.

Inside his body, it felt as if billions of Universes were being born and destroyed, and infinite Great Daos were being reorganized.

His immortal essence, which had already reached the True Immortal extreme and was perfect and flawless, began to collapse, mutate, and sublimate in a way that transcended understanding!

Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Immortal Lord, Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Venerable, Quasi-Immortal Emperor... the Nine Realms of the Immortal Dao, each Realm a new heaven, and the gap between each Realm was far greater and more vast than the gap between a Mortal and a True Immortal.

At this moment, this chasm that could take eternal prodigies countless ages to cross was being broken through and leaped over layer by layer with unstoppable force under the System's heaven-defying power!

His aura did not leak out, but in his perception, his very existence was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

His Divine Soul expanded infinitely, as if a single thought could cover the myriad worlds of the heavens.

With a slight movement of his will, he seemed to be able to trigger Chaos tides and re-establish earth, water, fire, and wind.

Every strand of new power in his body contained the ultimate Profound Truth of creation and termination; that was the authority of an Immortal Emperor.

However, such an earth-shaking transformation occurring at the boundary of Chaos did not trigger any anomalies.

There were no ten thousand rays of light, no auspicious colors, no booming sounds of the Dao, and no tribulations descending.

The System's invisible power enveloped Gu Changge, perfectly binding and absorbing all energy fluctuations, Law ripples, and changes in Karma lines that might trigger external detection during his promotion.

It was like a black hole that could swallow stars quietly condensing in the depths of the boundless ocean without stirring up a single ripple.
