722: Chapter 723 Placing the Immortal Emperor's Dojo

Gu Changge waved his hand, and the figures of Xiao Bai and Yue Liuli slowly emerged.

As soon as Xiao Bai landed, it sniffed the air alertly and moved close to Gu Changge's feet to sniff carefully, its face showing a look of confusion and alarm:

"Revered Master... you, you seem a bit different?"

It felt that its Revered Master was vast and profound, immeasurable; compared to his previous restrained depth, there was now an indescribable, lofty majesty, as if he were the Heavenly Dao itself.

Just standing there quietly made it feel as small as if it were facing a towering divine mountain or gazing up at an endless sea of stars.

Yue Liuli's reaction was more direct. As soon as she appeared, her cold silver eyes instantly locked onto Gu Changge, and a trace of undisguisable shock flashed across her exquisite face.

Due to her Pure World Lunar Immortal Physique, she was most sensitive to the changes in his aura.

"You... had a Breakthrough?"

Yue Liuli's voice carried a hint of speculation; only a leap in Realm could bring about such a world-shaking change.

Gu Changge nodded slightly and did not deny it, calmly looking at Yue Liuli and Xiao Bai: "I have gained a little and taken half a step forward."

Half a step? Heavenly Emperor Realm?!

Yue Liuli's heart shook once more.

As an ancient Immortal Emperor, she was not entirely unaware of the legendary Realms above the Immortal Emperor level, but that threshold was too high—so high it was despair-inducing.

In her past life, she had traversed the Immortal Realm for endless years, yet she had never heard of anyone breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm; she had only thought of it as a legend.

To her surprise, Gu Changge had actually stepped past it!

She did not press for details on the Breakthrough, instead asking the question she was most concerned about at the moment: "The Laws here are so chaotic; what exactly happened?"

"This place should be an ancient battlefield..."

Gu Changge was concise, informing Yue Liuli of the Guardian's mental message and his own discoveries regarding the passage and the Formation in the most succinct language.

He skipped the process of his Breakthrough, only pointing out the results and the current situation.

"The passage has been temporarily reinforced by me; there should be no major issues in the short term."

"The Senior Guardian has returned to the frontline where he and my Revered Master are. Before he left, he entrusted me with the responsibility of guarding the Immortal Realm and looking after the younger generations."

Gu Changge's voice was calm, yet it carried a heavy weight. When it reached the ears of Yue Liuli and Xiao Bai, they couldn't help but sober up.

Xiao Bai rubbed against his pant leg and asked in a small voice, "Revered Master, do we have to stay here and guard this place forever?"

Gu Changge shook his head, his gaze returning to the Formation light screen at the core of the ancient battlefield, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

The war on the frontline was urgent, and he needed to grasp the situation as soon as possible.

Now that the Immortal Realm was shattered and its strength weak, he also needed to quickly Cultivate enough core strength to reinforce his Revered Master and the other Guardians.

But this was the gateway to the Immortal Realm. Once it fell, the consequences would be unimaginable. Someone reliable had to be stationed here.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Changge waved his hand, and a simple and heavy spiritual light slowly overflowed from his body. The moment the light landed, it transformed into a phantom of a Dao field spanning a thousand feet, like a jade palace.

It was precisely another Immortal Emperors Dojo he had obtained from a previous check-in.

Upon the Dao field, runes flowed, and Immortal Qi swirled. There was a faint trace of an ancient Immortal Emperor's Dao Rhyme lingering. Although it was just a phantom, it emitted a pressure sufficient to suppress a region of Chaos.

It echoed the golden Formation light screen beside it, faintly forming a state of mutual reinforcement.

Yue Liuli's pupils shrank slightly as her gaze fell upon the Immortal Emperors Dojo, her voice full of shock: "Is this an ancient Immortal Emperors Dojo?"

"Exactly."

Gu Changge nodded, turning his gaze toward Yue Liuli, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

"Liuli, you are already a half-step Immortal Emperor, just one step away from a Breakthrough."

"This Dao field contains the complete Dao Laws of an ancient Immortal Emperor, and the Dao Rhyme here is far richer than any Secret Realm in the Immortal Realm. It is an excellent place to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm."

He paused and slowly stated his arrangement: "I plan to place this Immortal Emperors Dojo here. Firstly, the Dao Rhyme of the Dao field can mutually reinforce the Formation, further strengthening the Seal."

"Even if enemies from beyond the domain rashly invade, they can be resisted with the power of the Dao field."

"Secondly, you can Cultivate in seclusion here, striving for an early Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm."

"After you break through, you will use this Immortal Emperors Dojo to preside over this place, overseeing the passage and guarding the Formation, holding this first gateway of the Immortal Realm for me."

At these words, a huge wave surged in Yue Liuli's heart. She never expected that Gu Changge would lend her such a precious Immortal Emperors Dojo and entrust her with such a heavy responsibility as guarding the gateway to the Immortal Realm.

This trust filled her heart with both touched emotion and a heavy sense of responsibility.

She immediately bowed and saluted, her tone firm and respectful: "Rest assured, My Lord, your subordinate will certainly not fail her mission! Once Liuli breaks through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, I will guard this place with my life."

"I will never let any enemy from beyond the domain take a single step past the Formation, nor will I ever betray My Lord's trust and entrustment!"

Gu Changge nodded slightly: "Good. I have injected the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Rhyme into the Dao field. It can mask your aura and also form a defense in moments of crisis to help you resist powerful enemies."

With that, he flicked his hand, and the phantom of the Immortal Emperors Dojo instantly solidified, landing steadily in the Chaos beside the Formation light screen, closely connected to the Formation.

The Immortal Qi of the Dao field and the golden light of the Formation intertwined, making the protective power at the core of the entire ancient battlefield increasingly heavy.

"Within the Dao field, I have left sufficient cultivation resources. Liuli, you can focus on your secluded Breakthrough."

Gu Changge instructed, "Remember, do not leave the Dao field easily, and do not rashly engage with enemies from beyond the domain. No matter the situation, send a message to me first; do not try to be a hero."

"Liuli will keep My Lord's instructions in mind." Yue Liuli bowed again and accepted, her eyes full of determination.

She knew that this was not only an excellent opportunity for a Breakthrough but also a heavy responsibility—guarding this place meant guarding the safety of the billions of living beings in the Immortal Realm.

Gu Changge took one last look at the Immortal Emperors Dojo and the golden Formation. After confirming everything was correct, the obscure Heavenly Emperor's Dao Rhyme around him quietly circulated.

With Yue Liuli presiding here, the passage was temporarily safe, and the rear gateway could be considered to have its first solid safeguard.

However, the sense of urgency in his heart did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it became increasingly heavy.

On the other side of the passage was the restless army from beyond the domain, and on the distant frontline, there were terrifying enemies capable of severely wounding experts of the Realm Guardian's caliber.

But there was still a faint trace of unease in his heart—on this side of the passage, within the Immortal Realm itself, was it truly clean?

A name suddenly surfaced in his mind—World-Devouring Beast.

Years ago, when he took Ling Xi to find the Canglan Great World, he had casually wiped out a World-Devouring Beast on the way, and behind that World-Devouring Beast, there was clearly a mysterious expert backing it.

At that time, he had only thought of it as a Loose Cultivator expert hidden in the Chaos, but thinking about it now, combined with the existence of the extra-domain passage, that mysterious expert was likely not someone from the Immortal Realm either.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in the depths of Gu Changge's eyes.
