626: Chapter 626 The Ancient Road Appears

"Is this the Origin of the Immortal Domain?" Gu Changge's heart stirred, and he instantly understood.

Indeed, although the Immortal Realm was shattered, its core Origin could not have completely dissipated.

Hearing this, Su Hanzhou nodded in confirmation, "Senior is wise. As far as this Junior knows, regarding the larger fragments of the Immortal Domain that still exist today..."

"Any that can maintain stability and are abundant in immortal spirit qi more or less have remnants of the Immortal Domain's Origin at their core."

"The more substantial the Origin, the larger the fragment, the more complete the Laws, and the stronger the power."

"The Wandao Pavilion was able to occupy the Xiangang Continent precisely because of this. The various powers fight incessantly, and their deeper goal is often to seize or fuse the Immortal Domain's Origin beneath the other's territory."

Hearing this, Gu Changge's incomparably vast Divine Sense spread out silently once more, penetrating the surface and going deep into the Xiangang Continent's earth veins, spiritual pivots, and even the deepest reaches of the Law operations.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of realization flashing in them.

As expected, deep within the continent's core and at several important dragon vein nodes...

...he saw several massive energy sources pulsing slowly like hearts, emitting a faint golden glow.

They were like stabilizing pillars, steadying the continent's Laws and locking in the majestic immortal spirit qi so that it wouldn't dissipate into the Chaos.

It was precisely the existence of these Origins that allowed this continent to maintain a relatively complete ecosystem and prosperity within the shattered Immortal Domain.

What slightly surprised Gu Changge was that within the shroud of the Origin's halo, a figure sitting cross-legged was clearly visible.

That figure was surrounded by the terrifying aura of the Peak Immortal Venerable stage, with immortal power and the power of the Origin intertwined.

It seemed upright and peaceful, but under Gu Changge's Immortal Emperor Divine Sense, he could detect a deeply hidden wisp of an alien race's aura.

This aura was full of tyrannical, fallen, and devouring characteristics, yet it was incomparably pure and blended perfectly with his immortal power.

Clearly, it wasn't a case of forced Possession, but an active collusion, using the power of the Demon Race to nourish his dao foundation and assist in charging toward the Immortal Emperor realm.

A moment later, a trace of disdain flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

The Immortal Domain was shattered, the Origin was incomplete, and even the world's Laws had huge flaws.

Instead of thinking about stabilizing his dao foundation and making up for the deficiencies, this person colluded with the Demon Race to take an external shortcut, vainly attempting to reach the Immortal Emperor realm. It was nothing more than an illusion.

Even if he fortunately succeeded, he would only be a pseudo-emperor with a shallow Foundation, tainted by the turbid qi of an alien race.

Not only would his combat power be far inferior to an Immortal Emperor born in a complete Immortal Domain, but he would also become a pawn of the Demon Race—laughable and pathetic.

One must know that even during the Peak of the Ancient Immortal Domain, achieving the position of an Immortal Emperor required tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation and crossing immeasurable tribulations; it was as difficult as crossing a heavenly chasm.

How much more so in this current ruined state, especially after taking the crooked path of colluding with the Demon Race.

Gu Changge shook his head and ignored it. It seemed that the five major Demon Race powers were not behaving themselves.

This Immortal Domain is getting more and more interesting.

The thought flashed by, and Gu Changge stopped paying attention to that place of seclusion, withdrawing his Divine Sense like a tide.

He rubbed the star map fragment with his fingertips, then completely immersed his Immortal Emperor Divine Sense into the fragment.

He hadn't had time to examine it closely before, but now that he went deep, he discovered that the starlight dots on the surface of the fragment weren't simple geographical outlines, but were woven from countless fine ancient runes.

While Su Hanzhou, Yue Liuli, and the others were watching intently, they heard Gu Changge say calmly, "Found it."

Gu Changge tapped three times in the air above the fragment, as if plucking the invisible strings of the world's Dao.

In an instant, starlight burst forth from the fragment. It was no longer scattered dots of light but automatically extended and completed itself along some ancient rhythm.

It transformed into a phantom of a sky-reaching immortal road spanning the Void Realm, condensed from countless complex and precise ancient immortal dao runes that contained supreme truths!

Its end was hidden deep within the Chaos, and a heart-palpitating, vast fluctuation faintly emanated from it, as if it connected to another sealed world.

"Let's go."

Gu Changge spoke indifferently, and with a wave of his sleeve, a soft but irresistible light screen enveloped everyone.

Su Hanzhou felt his vision blur, and the pain throughout his body was instantly smoothed away. The next second, a sense of weightlessness came over him, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

It was no longer the valley of the Xiangang Continent, but a pitch-black and deathly silent Chaos.

Violent chaotic air currents whistled past, and even space was twisting and trembling; ordinary Immortal Kings would not dare to set foot here easily.

Gu Changge stood in the middle of the Chaos, holding the star map fragment, with the rosy light from the fragment shining directly ahead.

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of Dao Rhyme transformed into a sharp sword, slashing straight into the depths of the Chaos!

"Chila—!"

A sound like tearing cloth echoed through the Chaos, and the pitch-black chaotic air currents were forcibly split open to form a passage.

The inner walls of the passage glowed with a faint golden light; it was a barrier condensed from the Immortal Domain's Origin.

At the end of the passage, an ancient path spanning hundreds of millions of miles slowly emerged. The road surface was paved with pale golden Origin crystals, and Dao patterns flowed across it. This was the Taichu Immortal Road.

Half of the passage's inner wall shimmered with the golden light of the condensed Origin, while the other half was left with dark purple flowing light and spiderweb-like cracks.

Ruin and holiness were intertwined, and occasionally, silver-gray space-time turbulence would burst out, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing apart immortal bodies.

This was the Taichu Immortal Road that the Taichu Divine Palace had opened up back then to nurture Prodigies.

However, after going through the catastrophe, it was also in ruins. If an ordinary Immortal King stepped in, the slightest carelessness would result in their Divine Soul being completely destroyed.

Gu Changge did not stop, walking toward the depths of the passage as if taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.

Wherever he passed, the violent and raging space-time turbulence seemed to have met its nemesis, automatically calming down and subsiding into gentle air currents.

The cracked passage walls healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and ancient Dao patterns woke from their slumber, radiating golden brilliance once more and flowing with warm immortal spirit qi.

Su Hanzhou followed behind, and seeing this incredible scene, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Yue Liuli looked at the familiar Divine Palace Dao patterns on the passage walls, a trace of melancholy flashing in her silver eyes.

Before she had become an Immortal Emperor, she had also walked this ancient road, but the grand scenery of that time was now only left as remnants.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic passage ahead suddenly widened, and a majestic and pure aura to the extreme rushed toward them, refreshing everyone's spirits.

At the end of the ancient road, it wasn't the expected palace or Treasure Trove, but a boundless golden ocean—it was a stagnant sea of the Immortal Domain's Origin!

The brilliant golden brilliance condensed into a liquid state, slowly flowing in the Void Realm without a single ripple, yet it radiated a majesty that transcended the myriad Daos.

Although the scale of this sea of Origin wasn't large, its purity far exceeded the Origin at the Xiangang Continent's core by more than a hundred times.

There were no Impurities at all; it was like the first wisp of the power of the Origin born at the beginning of Chaos.

This was the very Foundation of the ancient Taichu Divine Palace, a supreme treasure land specifically used to nurture Core Disciples and help them break through Bottlenecks.

However, after the Immortal Domain catastrophe, the Divine Palace vanished, and this part of the Origin, along with the Taichu Ancient Road, was left behind in the Chaos.

Yue Liuli was slightly moved; the purity of this sea of Origin was incomparable even to the core regions of the Immortal Domain back then.
