730: Chapter 731 Wang Zhan Enters the Immortal Realm

Wang Zhan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, the bloodstains on his body had vanished, his gaze was as sharp as a god's, and the auras of his dual physiques were perfectly integrated.

"Thank you for your help, Senior!"

Wang Zhan bowed deeply, his voice clanging like metal as it echoed at the forefront of the Immortal Path.

The aura of the Heavenly Azure Dao Body around him had reached Perfection and clarity; the cyan and black colors flowed naturally, no longer showing the slightest hint of obstruction.

His cultivation at the Early Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm was firmly rooted, and his blood qi was so vigorous it nearly overturned the clouds of the Immortal Path.

Standing for a hundred days, fighting bloodily for ten, breaking through in an instant—he had been completely reborn.

He slowly straightened up and looked ahead at the long, endless Immortal Path.

Behind him, the Cultivators along the way were still struggling through their journey, crossing stages, fighting, and gaining insights.

Yet, as far as the eye could see, not a single person on the entire Immortal Path could step into the Forbidden Region where he stood.

The Divine King Body Jiang Ruofeng, Chu Daolin, Lei Dong... they were still seeking the way in the True Immortal Realm; his former peers had already been left far behind.

At this moment, Wang Zhan's aura was restrained, yet he was like a war sword that had been hidden for eons; if he remained still, it was fine, but once he moved, he would be enough to rend the heavens and shatter the earth.

The path ahead was empty, and there were no pursuers behind.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. His heart held not a shred of arrogance after his breakthrough; instead, an indescribable sense of emptiness and solitude welled up within him.

"Senior."

He spoke again, his voice steady and candid, without any concealment.

"Thanks to Senior's guidance, I was able to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I will keep this kindness engraved in my heart."

"However—"

He paused, looking at this Immortal Path that seemed to offer infinite opportunities but was actually peaceful and lonely, his tone becoming increasingly firm:

"The Immortal Path is good, the Immortal Qi is dense, and the Laws are complete, but it lacks one thing that is fundamental to my cultivation.

There are no true battles of life and death, no evenly matched opponents, and no tempering found in surviving desperate situations.

Traveling alone without rivals or conflict—if I continue like this, even if I reach the end of the Immortal Path, my Dao Heart will become loose, dull, and sink into mediocrity."

It wasn't that he didn't want to finish the journey, but that he couldn't.

His Dao was never about sitting in quiet meditation, never about smooth sailing, and never about the loneliness of being invincible.

It was about bloody battles, death matches, and charging out from being surrounded by powerful enemies.

He didn't fear a difficult path or enemies who were too strong; he only feared being invincible for too long, letting his Battle Intent rust.

At this point, Wang Zhan's eyes dimmed slightly as several figures flashed through his mind.

Battle Asura, Sword White Robe, Azure Rakshasa, Wang Xiaopang, and Mo Yu.

Those were the myths of the Xuanhuang World's younger generation, names that had long since disappeared into legend but still pressured their peers to the point of breathlessness.

Over the years, he had cultivated bitterly and broken through through bloody battles, never daring to relax for a moment, just to catch up with those few.

But now, while he reigned supreme on the Immortal Path, those people had already vanished into a wider world.

They must have already entered the Immortal Domain.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan cupped his fists and bowed deeply, his tone solemn and sincere:

"The Immortal Path has not ended, but my heart is no longer suited to continue this way.

I embolden myself to ask Senior: where are Battle Asura and Sword White Robe? Beyond this heaven and earth, is there a wider world?"

As his voice fell, he looked up slightly, his gaze candid and persistent.

"In the past, I competed with them as peers. They led the way, and I followed closely behind, never daring to slacken.

I can feel that they are already fighting and moving forward in a more dangerous world."

In his words, there was no jealousy or resentment, only the pursuit of fellow travelers, recognition of the strong, and a clear understanding of his own path.

At this point, Wang Zhan's gaze focused slightly as he looked at the white-robed figure in the sky, his tone becoming extremely solemn:

"I humbly request Senior's guidance."

Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes fluttering. He looked calmly at Wang Zhan at the end of the Immortal Path, a faint, almost imperceptible trace of approval appearing in his eyes.

To abandon the path to heaven, to reject easy opportunities, all to pursue former rivals, to uphold the heart of a warrior, and to seek a true tempering of life and death...

Such a Dao Heart and such will were rare throughout history.

"It is very rare that you are not lost in the prosperity before you, not trapped by local invincibility, and have not forgotten the heart of a warrior."

Gu Changge's voice rang out indifferently, like the sound of the Great Dao, falling into Wang Zhan's heart:

"Battle Asura and Sword White Robe are indeed no longer in this realm; they have gone to the Immortal Domain.

Now that the Immortal Domain is shattered, various forces are fighting incessantly. Immortal Kings stand in great numbers, and prodigies are as common as rain. In every battle, you might leave your bones in a foreign land. Are you sure you want to go?"

Hearing this, a brilliant light suddenly erupted in Wang Zhan's eyes, and his blood qi boiled along with it.

"The Immortal Domain! Prodigies as common as rain, and Immortal Kings standing in great numbers!"

This was the world he yearned for!

Without the slightest hesitation, he spoke word by word, with absolute certainty:

"I am certain!"

Gu Changge nodded slightly, the appreciation in his eyes deepening.

"Good. Since you seek battle, I shall send you to the true battlefield."

As he finished speaking, he pointed his finger into the air.

"Buzz—!"

In front of the Immortal Path, a massive Chaos Portal suddenly tore open in the Void Realm.

An aura far more majestic, violent, and dangerous than that of the Xuanhuang Great World rushed toward him.

That was the Immortal Domain!

"Behind this gate is the true Immortal Domain," Gu Changge said calmly.

"There is no protection there, no comfort, only the Law of the jungle and the practice of nurturing battle with battle."

"There, you can fight prodigies, slay demons, explore Primeval Secret Realms, and prove a higher Immortal Path."

"Whether you live or die, whether you remain mediocre or rise, it all depends on you."

Wang Zhan looked at the Chaos Portal, the Battle Intent in his eyes almost bursting into flames.

He gave a final deep bow to Gu Changge.

"Senior's great kindness, Wang Zhan will never forget in this lifetime!"

Having spoken, he no longer looked back or lingered, stepping out in a single stride!

His figure turned into a cyan and black streak of light, charging straight into the Chaos Portal.

In an instant, the light dissipated and the Void Realm closed.

On the Immortal Path, only a wisp of vast Battle Intent remained, proving that a true Martial Artist had just embarked on his own journey.

Gu Changge looked at where the Void Realm had closed, his gaze shifting slightly. His white robes flapped in the astral winds, and that indifferent yet supreme aura quietly spread out.

He slowly shifted his gaze, first looking at the prodigies still struggling through the stages on the Immortal Path.

Then, his vision pierced through the clouds and landed in the direction of the Azure Profound Sect, several young figures flashing through his mind.

Li Xuanfeng, Shen Jinghong, Shi Jingxian, and the others were all Core Disciples of various peaks in the Azure Profound Sect, possessing extraordinary Aptitude.

For the past few years, they had been cultivating hard in the Azure Cloud Secret Realm, preparing for the Sect's expeditions.

"Should I throw them into the Immortal Domain for some experience as well?"
