522: Let's try three portions first.

Near the bamboo house not far away, Xiao Ruobai and the others had not gone far.

The conversation between Ling Xi and Master just now was not intentionally concealed; with their extraordinary hearing, they naturally heard most of it.

Xiao Ruobai watched Ling Xi's receding back, his eyes flickering slightly.

He had long sensed that Ling Xi was shrouded in mystery, but he never expected that she was the Reincarnation of a Great Emperor from a past life, and now even the survival of her homeland was unknown.

A flicker of resonance flashed in Mo Yu's crimson-gold eyes.

He also carried the Legacy of his clan and an unknown destiny; he could empathize with Ling Xi's anxiety and hope.

Fang Hanyu, Wang Xiaopang, and the others looked at Ling Xi with complex expressions.

The evening breeze, carrying the scent of purple bamboo, dispersed the last trace of stagnant air on Zizhu Peak, leaving only the Battle Intent hidden beneath the calm, growing ever more intense.

Gu Changge sat at the stone table, taking everything in.

Gu Changge raised his hand with a wave, and a swirling pale gold halo of mist immediately appeared in his palm.

Within the halo, it seemed as if galaxies were rising and falling and ten thousand Daos were intertwining. It was precisely the remaining bit of the Xuanhuang Great World's Origin that had been reclaimed from forces like the Chengyun Immortal Palace.

With a flick of his finger, that mass of Origin turned into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and vanishing into the depths of the Xuanhuang Great World's firmament.

Silently, the entire world seemed to tremble slightly, and the Spiritual Qi in the air appeared to become even more mellow.

After completing all this, Gu Changge finally closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his body.

"System, check-in!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for a successful check-in. You have received 10,000 years of cultivation!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining world origin x10!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 1 billion Top-grade Immortal Stones!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Immortal Emperor Weapon: World-Suppressing Dragon Pattern Armor!"

The moment the System notification finished, the three treasures appeared within Gu Changge's storage space.

With a thought, he looked at the set of Immortal Emperor Battle Armor.

The Battle Armor was forged entirely from Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Immortal Gold, with dense Ancient Dao Patterns engraved on the plates, and dragon markings winding across it.

Like a living thing, every pattern contained the terrifying power to suppress the universe and withstand Immortal Emperor-level attacks.

A faint layer of Imperial Dao Laws lingered on this World-Suppressing Dragon Pattern Armor, an Origin power that only a true Immortal Emperor could refine.

An ordinary Immortal Emperor's strike landing on this Battle Armor would likely only cause a ripple, unable to even break through its defense.

A flash of satisfaction crossed Gu Changge's eyes.

With this Battle Armor protecting him, he would have more confidence even if he stepped into the depths of the Immortal Realm and encountered stronger enemies in the future.

His gaze then fell upon the ten newly acquired portions of world origin.

Combined with the nine portions remaining from before, he now held a total of nineteen portions of world origin in his hands.

Gu Changge's gaze swept across the entire Xuanhuang Great World through the sea of clouds on Zizhu Peak.

"I wonder what would happen if all nineteen portions of world origin were integrated into the Xuanhuang Great World?"

He whispered to himself, his fingertips stroking the masses of Origin that contained boundless life force.

But on second thought, he shook his head slightly.

The Xuanhuang Great World had only recently recovered from the weakness of Origin loss and was not yet fully stabilized.

Like someone just recovering from a serious illness suddenly consuming a potent tonic, it would not only be unhelpful but would also be too much for the body to handle, potentially even attracting unpredictable prying eyes.

"Eating too much at once makes it easy to get bloated. Let's try three portions first."

Gu Changge no longer hesitated and flicked his finger.

The three portions of world origin immediately transformed into three golden rivers, soaring into the sky and sinking into the core of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Rumble—!

This time, the world's tremor was no longer faint but an earth-shattering roar like the creation of the world, sweeping through every corner of the Xuanhuang Great World!

Above the firmament, seven-colored auspicious clouds spread for ten thousand miles, and thousands of streaks of auspicious light descended to the earth. Phantoms of stars emerged, and the power of the stars poured down, intertwining with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into a sky full of light rain.

Beneath the earth, billions of slumbering Spiritual Veins awoke frantically, thick veins rolling like dragons and snakes.

Spiritual springs bursting from the ground turned into rushing waterfalls. The Spiritual Qi became so dense that it condensed directly into translucent Spiritual Crystals, covering the mountains and river valleys.

Most astonishingly, the territory of the Xuanhuang Great World was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Boundaries that were originally ten thousand miles apart were now connected by newly formed land; oceans widened, and mountains rose higher.

The volume of the entire Great World instantly surged several times over, already showing the embryonic form of an Immortal Realm.

The spatial strength underwent an even more earth-shaking change!

Previously, the spatial barriers of the Xuanhuang Great World were weak; a single strike from a Saint Realm Cultivator could tear through the Void Realm and trigger spatial turbulence.

Now, even if a Great Saint Realm Cultivator exerted their full strength, their Dao power striking the Void Realm would only cause a faint ripple, unable to leave even a single crack.

In the Void Realm, Dao Laws intertwined into a web, as stable as iron.

The aura of the Great Dao became clearer than ever before!

Between heaven and earth, the once obscure and difficult Dao sounds rang out clearly. Whether it was the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of Alchemy, or the Dao of Techniques, clear phantoms of Dao Laws emerged for Cultivators to comprehend.

Countless Cultivators in seclusion were now startled by this boundless Origin power and the clear aura of the Great Dao.

Bottlenecks that had been stagnant were now broken like thin window paper, followed by the roars of successive Breakthroughs.

They walked out of their Immortal Caves one after another, looking up at the firmament, watching the expanding world territory and the descending light of Dao Laws, their cheers echoing through the clouds.

The Great Dao that was once hard to touch was now within reach. Countless people had epiphanies on the spot, their cultivation soaring rapidly, and even their Lifespan surged accordingly.

The entire Xuanhuang Great World fell into an unprecedented Breakthrough frenzy; the world's vitality was exuberant to the extreme, and its Foundation continued to thicken.

It already showed a trend of breaking free from the shackles of the "Lower Realm," advancing toward a higher-level world.

Gu Changge sat on Zizhu Peak, quietly watching all this, a flash of gratification in his eyes.

Just then, the Void Realm around him rippled slightly, and a hazy figure quietly emerged.

This was the World Will of the Xuanhuang Great World!

It instinctively knew who had brought about this great ascension, who had completed its Foundation, and who had endowed it with infinite potential.

Gu Changge felt this affectionate will, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. He reached out and brushed against the invisible entity, whispering, "Grow well; the road ahead is still long."

The World Will emitted even more cheerful fluctuations, circling Gu Changge twice more as if making a promise.

Then it slowly dissipated, returning to the world to better guide and digest this world-shaking ascension.

Gu Changge looked at this brand-new world with infinite potential and nodded in satisfaction.

"Three portions of Origin, the effect is even better than expected. The Great World's Foundation is now incredibly solid, enough to carry a more glorious future."

His gaze turned toward the interior of the Azure Profound Sect and then toward the Azure Cloud Secret Realm.

"Then, let's add two more portions to allow this Sect to completely transform as well."
