662: Chapter 662 Is this yet another path to immortality?

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the spiritual fragrance still lingered around Zizhu Peak. Xuan Yangzi smacked his lips in satisfaction, draining the last drop of soup.

Feeling the surging, massive essence within his body that felt as if it might burst, he patted his stomach contentedly and stood up.

"How refreshing! Junior Brother, everyone, I must return to the main peak to arrange the various matters for harassing the Hundred Immortals Alliance. It cannot be delayed."

"No rush," Gu Changge said indifferently, setting down his jade chopsticks.

Under Xuan Yangzi's puzzled gaze, he raised his hand again and made a slicing motion through the air toward Xiao Bai and Old Huang, who were still savoring the aftertaste nearby.

Chi! Chi!

With two soft sounds, two pieces of flesh, lustrous as jade and swirling with Dao Rhyme, flew into the air. One carried the blood vitality of a reckless bull, while the other was wrapped in the essence of a black dragon. Even before they drew close, they caused the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to grow restless.

"It's a rare occasion to feast on meat. Take some to the Old Ancestors to taste as well, to supplement their blood vitality so they may break through their realms sooner."

Gu Changge casually pushed the two pieces of Immortal Venerable-level flesh toward Xuan Yangzi.

Xuan Yangzi's eyes lit up instantly. A knowing smile appeared on his face as he expertly caught them with both hands and carefully sealed them in a jade box.

"Junior Brother really thinks of everything! If the Old Ancestors find out, they will surely be overjoyed!"

Xuan Yangzi laughed heartily, solemnly stowed away the flesh, and departed in a streak of light, his face glowing with health.

Gu Changge nodded slightly. Looking at Xiao Ruobai and the others nearby, who were all sitting cross-legged and Cultivating with brilliant light radiating from them, his eyes remained calm, but he was secretly reflecting.

The flesh of an Immortal Venerable-Rank Yao Beast was indeed extraordinary. Whether in terms of texture or the contained Laws and essence, it was far superior to ordinary Immortal Beasts.

It was time to upgrade the food stores of Zizhu Peak and add some fresh stock. The Immortal Realm was vast; it was said that seven great Yao Race forces occupied it, possessing extraordinary Bloodlines...

Having made up his mind, Gu Changge looked up just in time to see Old Huang nearby with his head hanging low, baring his teeth as he looked at the wound on his thigh—one that had already healed but still throbbed with a faint pain.

Though he knew it would grow back quickly, he still felt a sense of loss in his heart, looking pitiful: "Today was a real bloodletting..."

Xiao Bai also had a resentful look, silently feeling the empty patch on his back.

Gu Changge glanced at Old Huang and spoke calmly: "Feeling wronged?"

Old Huang shook his head hurriedly, then nodded just as quickly, looking like he was angry but dared not speak out.

"Look at how pathetic you are." Gu Changge stopped teasing him and lightly flicked his finger toward the void.

Buzz—!

A low, trembling hum that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era rang out. A streak of light pierced through the air and came to a halt in front of Old Huang.

The light gradually faded, transforming into an ancient, unadorned copper ring with a color as deep as the earth.

The copper ring was only the size of a palm and lacked any dazzling treasure light. Its surface was engraved with countless fine, ancient runes that seemed to carry the breath of all living things and the pulse of the earth.

An immortal emperor artifact, the Myriad Spirit Ring.

Wielding it allowed one to command all spirits, suppress mountains and rivers, and enjoy a lifespan equal to the earth itself.

"Your compensation," Gu Changge said in a flat tone.

Old Huang's pupils shrank abruptly, and his bull eyes bulged so much they nearly popped out. Staring at the immortal emperor artifact floating before him, the entire bull froze in place, his mind going blank.

The next instant—

"Moo————!!"

He suddenly let out a bull's roar that trembled with excitement, startling Xiao Ruobai and the others who were Cultivating nearby.

His four hooves went weak, and with a "thud," he knelt on the ground. His massive head slammed into the earth as he shook all over with excitement:

"Thank... thank you, Master!!"

Though the old bull didn't know what Rank this treasure was, it looked incredibly impressive at a glance.

Tears flew from Old Huang's eyes in his excitement. He carefully extended a hoof, as if holding the most sacred treasure in the world, and tremblingly slipped the Myriad Spirit Ring onto his horn.

As soon as the ring settled, it instantly bonded with his Bloodline. A vast, boundless Imperial Dao power surged into his limbs and bones. The wound that had been throbbing just moments ago healed completely in an instant, and even his foundation began to skyrocket!

"Oh——!!!"

Old Huang could no longer contain himself, letting out a long, comfortable bull moo filled with endless satisfaction and wild joy.

Xiao Bai, nearby, had pricked up his ears the moment the Myriad Spirit Ring appeared and the Emperor Might faintly manifested. His dragon pupils were fixed intently on it.

Upon seeing the object clearly, he slightly raised his dragon head and let out a nearly inaudible snort from his nose.

However, the tip of his tail couldn't help but wag ever so slightly, betraying a sense of 'I have one too, I'm not jealous'.

Not far away, Yue Liuli took in the entire scene. Another immortal emperor artifact?

Her originally shocked eyes instantly returned to calm; she had already become numb to Gu Changge's endless stream of treasures.

Forget it, better to just Cultivate.

At the summit of Zizhu Peak, peace returned once more. Gu Changge turned and cast his gaze toward the Cangyun World.

At this very moment, deep within a misty Immortal Cave, there was a scene of bustling activity.

The several Old Ancestors had long since discarded their usual dignified and grave demeanor.

They were gathered around a massive stone table in the center, carved from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, sitting in a circle with no regard for their image.

In the center of the stone table, inside a large pot cast from star essence gold, a broth of intermingled crimson and gold bubbled away.

It emitted an overbearing, Soul-snatching fragrance. The chunks of meat bobbing in the pot were crystal clear, with Dao patterns swirling upon them.

"Smack—! Hiss! This meat... is incredible!"

The Great Ancestor had one arm bare, his beard covered in grease. Using a pair of purple-gold jade chopsticks, he quickly picked up a piece of crimson-gold dragon meat.

Ignoring the heat, he stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes widening as he praised it through a mouthful of food.

"Such texture! The heat is just right. This Dragon Clan blood vitality is simply a massive supplement!"

The Old Ancestors were each eating until their mouths were covered in grease and their faces shone. Droplets of oil dripped down their white beards.

Each of them ate until their bellies were round, yet they continued to stuff meat into their mouths.

"Refreshing! Today is truly refreshing to the extreme!"

"That boy Changge is truly thoughtful!"

"The mere Hundred Immortals Alliance is nothing more than a whetstone! Once we have digested this meat and spent some time in seclusion, stepping into the Immortal King realm will be the time we sweep across the Immortal Realm! Come, keep eating!"

"Right! Keep eating!"

The several Old Ancestors scrambled and competed, chopsticks and spoons flying. They ate with gusto and satisfaction, their mouths greasy. Within the Immortal Cave, Spiritual Qi surged and Dao sounds rumbled, filled entirely with the sounds of their feasting and satisfied praise.

However, just as the atmosphere was at its peak and the Old Ancestors were at loggerheads over the last piece of beef brisket—

"Buzz!!!"

A low, grand vibration, seemingly originating from the world origin, resounded throughout the entire Cangyun World without warning!

This vibration was not a loud noise, yet it instantly penetrated the Secret Realm's barrier, ignored any Formation obstructions, and was transmitted with absolute clarity to the depths of every living being's Soul within the world.

The space, Spiritual Qi, and even the Laws of Heaven and Earth of the entire Cangyun World produced an imperceptible yet real resonance and fluctuation along with this "buzzing" sound.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the movements of the several Old Ancestors instantly froze.

The piece of beef brisket held in the Great Ancestor's chopsticks fell back into the soup with a "splat," splashing a few drops of scalding oil. His finger twitched from the heat, but he was completely oblivious.

"What's the situation?!" The lean Old Ancestor suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with brilliant light, no longer showing any trace of his gluttonous appearance.

"The world source is vibrating? An external enemy invasion?" The fat Old Ancestor set down his soup bowl, his aura suddenly becoming sharp.

It wasn't just them. Throughout the Cangyun World, all Azure Profound Sect Disciples and Elders who were Cultivating, discussing the Dao, sparring, or handling affairs—

Even those captives imprisoned here as "sparring partners" or "laborers"—all felt it and looked up at the sky in horror.

They saw—

The originally clear sky of the Cangyun World rippled without warning with layers upon layers of Chaos ripples, like waves on water.

Then, at the center of those ripples, in the infinitely high depths of the Void Realm that seemed to touch the world barrier, the tip of the iceberg of an indescribably magnificent and ancient road slowly revealed itself.

It extended from the end of the void, with its other end disappearing into the depths of the Cangyun World's earth, spanning the entire heavens and splitting the sky in two.

"This... is this another Immortal Path?!" the Great Ancestor cried out, his voice trembling.
