551: Cangyun Realm

"Go now, and Cultivate well," Gu Changge spoke.

The four of them respectfully complied and returned to their respective places to Cultivate.

Zizhu Peak suddenly became quiet, and Gu Changge seemed to think of something.

His gaze pierced through the endless Void Realm, landing on that fragment of the Immortal domain that was once ruled by the Chengyun Immortal Palace but had now fallen into Chaos.

In the Chengyun Immortal Domain, it seemed someone was growing restless again.

Having lost its unified rule and the continuous supply from the world origin of the Lower Realm, this fragment was like a giant ship that had lost its power, slowly drifting and decaying within the Chaos.

Compared to a year ago, the Immortal light on its surface had clearly dimmed, and the edge regions had even begun to show subtle peeling, turning into smaller debris that dissipated into the Chaos.

Inside the Immortal domain, the former peace had long since been shattered.

The power vacuum left after the destruction of the Chengyun Immortal Palace and the meager remaining resources had triggered a new round of even more cruel and bloody struggles.

Forces large and small carved out their own territories, fighting for a few remaining Immortal veins and ancient herb gardens.

Continuous conflicts even broke out over ruins containing fragmented Laws.

The light of Immortal arts frequently lit up across various parts of the fragment, accompanied by the collision of Laws and the falling of lives, accelerating the loss of the already scant vitality of this world.

"Drinking poison to quench thirst," Gu Changge shook his head slightly.

These battles were merely accelerating the process of mutual destruction.

However, for those Immortals who sensed their Dao Foundations beginning to waver, this frantic plundering was their final struggle against the instinct of annihilation.

"Very well, since Chaos has already begun, I shall start organizing from here."

On Zizhu Peak, Gu Changge withdrew his gaze from the Chaos, his mind stirring slightly.

In the next moment, a flash of green light appeared, and the figure of Sect Head Xuan Yangzi manifested at the peak. His face still bore a trace of the lingering Dao Rhyme from his cultivation, clearly having been awakened from seclusion.

"Changge, were you looking for me?"

Xuan Yangzi stepped forward quickly, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.

Gu Changge would not easily disturb him during cultivation unless there was an important matter.

"Senior Brother, sit."

Gu Changge gestured for Xuan Yangzi to sit by the stone table and asked directly, "What is the current strength of the Sect?"

At the mention of this, Xuan Yangzi's face immediately lit up, and his tone carried pride:

"Thanks to you, the Sect is now more powerful than ever before!"

He listed them off like precious treasures: "The Five Ancestors, plus myself, make a total of six in the Great Emperor Realm.

The Peak Masters, including Shi Wanshan and Ye Guying, have polished their Foundations to flawless Perfection. They are all making final preparations for the Emperor Tribulation; it will take a few months at the fastest or a year at the slowest, and they can all attempt to break through!"

"What's even more gratifying are those hundred Disciples who first entered the Azure Cloud Secret Realm!"

Xuan Yangzi grew more excited as he spoke.

"With the hundred-fold time acceleration and the accumulation of infinite resources in the Secret Realm, they have all now broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"

"This is a grand prosperity for our Azure Profound Sect, unseen in ten thousand ages!"

Gu Changge nodded slightly; this speed was within his expectations.

With sufficient resources and maximum time acceleration, plus these Disciples having undergone the baptism of Marrow Cleansing Pills and Myriad Tribulation True Water, their Aptitude was no longer what it used to be. Reaching this realm was a natural progression.

However, Xuan Yangzi's excited tone paused slightly, and a hint of hidden worry appeared on his face: "But Changge, speaking of this, I have a concern in my heart."

"With the hundred-fold time acceleration and the accumulation of infinite resources in the Secret Realm, they have all now broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm! This is a grand prosperity for our Azure Profound Sect, unseen in ten thousand ages!"

Gu Changge nodded slightly; this speed was within his expectations. Resources were sufficient, and time acceleration was at its limit.

Plus, these Disciples had undergone the baptism of Marrow Cleansing Pills and Myriad Tribulation True Water, so their Aptitude was no longer what it once was; reaching this realm was natural.

However, Xuan Yangzi's excited tone paused slightly, and a look of prudence appeared on his face: "But Changge, speaking of this, I have a concern in my heart."

"Speak."

"Back then, you merged with the world origin and completely sublimated the Azure Cloud Secret Realm into a Great World.

The Old Ancestors and I sensed that the Cangyun World was newly born with infinite potential, so we resolutely decided to prove our Dao and become Emperors in this realm, to avoid impacting the Xuanhuang World, which had already recovered but whose Foundation still needed stabilizing."

Xuan Yangzi explained in detail; this was also an arrangement Gu Changge had been happy to see at the time.

"Now, according to our senses and the feedback from the Laws within the realm, the Cangyun World carrying six Great Emperors has basically reached its current limit.

If we forcibly add more, I fear it will damage the world Foundation, which would be undesirable."

He looked up at Gu Changge and asked the core question:

"Now Shi Wanshan, Ye Guying, and the others have sufficient Foundations, and their Emperor Tribulation is imminent.

If they prove their Dao in the Xuanhuang Great World, with the current depth of the Xuanhuang World, can it still bear it?

Will it trigger a backlash from the Heavenly Dao and wound the very root of the world?"

Hearing this, the look of approval in Gu Changge's eyes grew stronger.

"Senior Brother, your considerations are thorough; this is indeed a priority at the moment."

Gu Changge nodded but did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes.

His Divine Sense spread out silently, instantly piercing through spatial barriers and descending upon that Cangyun Great World he had personally shaped.

What his Divine Sense saw was no longer the scenery of the former Secret Realm.

The sky was high and far, and the Laws were woven like fabric.

Dense immortal spirit qi turned into misty haze, lingering among the recently born mountains and rivers.

The earth's Dragon veins were steady and powerful, breathing in and out pure Spiritual Qi.

In the sky, stars were numerous, moving slowly according to profound trajectories, with the sun and moon hanging high, illuminating the land.

At the edge of the world, the Chaos barriers were thick and solid, slowly absorbing the residual power of the world origin Gu Changge had previously injected, undergoing subtle but continuous self-growth and strengthening.

However, Gu Changge's Divine Sense keenly captured a trace of imperceptible tension within the world's fabric of Laws.

The Dao Rhyme of the six Great Emperors was like six giant pillars supporting the heavens, deeply imprinted into the Heavenly Dao of this realm.

Just as Xuan Yangzi said, the current state of this realm was indeed close to saturation, like a child who had eaten too much and needed time to digest, unfit for any immediate additional burdens.

At the same time, a wisp of his Divine Sense also brushed lightly over the world membrane of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Compared to the newness and fullness of the Cangyun World, the Xuanhuang World appeared more weathered and heavy, with a deeper Foundation sufficient to bear more Great Emperors, but... after a moment, Gu Changge opened his eyes, having made a decision.

"The Cangyun World has indeed reached its current limit of capacity; Senior Brother's perception is correct."

"It seems it is time for the Azure Cloud Secret Realm to take another step forward."

Gu Changge said indifferently, as if speaking of a trivial matter.

"Another step forward?"

Xuan Yangzi was stunned. The Azure Cloud Secret Realm was already a place of supreme creation; how could it progress further?

Gu Changge slowly raised his hand, and above his palm, three strands of world origin quietly emerged.

"Go."

Gu Changge flicked his finger, and the world origin turned into three streaks of light, instantly sinking into the void and reaching the core of the Azure Cloud Secret Realm in the deepest part of the Azure Profound Sect!
