846: Chapter 847: Origins of the Undying Secret Realm

After a long time, Zizhu Peak once again welcomed its most prosperous moment.

The peak was wreathed in Immortal Qi, with Xuan Yangzi, the Revered Masters of each peak, and the five Great Ancestors all gathered together.

Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Lao Huang coiled to the side, gazing with reverence at the figure before them.

Zizhu Daoist stood atop Zizhu Peak, his gaze slowly sweeping across the entire world.

At this moment, a shock he could not conceal finally welled up in his eyes.

When he had left years ago, the Xuanhuang Great World was merely an inconspicuous small Lower Realm among the heavens, with thin Spiritual Qi, incomplete Dao Rhyme, and even the true path of cultivation could not reach Perfection.

Yet, looking out now, the Immortal Qi of the world surged like a sea of clouds, the Laws of the Immortal Dao were complete and interconnected, and the barriers of the entire world were solid and thick.

With vast Immortal Qi and extreme prosperity, it had clearly shed the skin of a Lower Realm and transformed into a brand-new Immortal Realm.

"The Xuanhuang World... it has actually transformed to this extent."

Zizhu Daoist sighed in low tones, his eyes filled with disbelief. He could not help but look again at Xuan Yangzi and the many Old Ancestors and peak Revered Masters:

"And your cultivation levels... Changge, Xuan Yang, what is going on here?"

At this moment, he could no longer hold back and asked the biggest question in his heart.

"Brother Zizhu, all of this is thanks to Changge!" Xuan Yangzi spoke softly from the side.

Gu Changge stood to the side and said softly: "Disciple just happened to obtain a tiny bit of Opportunity by chance."

Hearing this, Zizhu Daoist was speechless for a moment and shook his head helplessly. A fine "tiny Opportunity" indeed.

Transforming a Lower Realm into an Immortal Realm, and the once small Azure Profound Sect is now full of Immortal Emperors, yet you tell me it's just a tiny Opportunity.

The Mortal youth he had picked up on a whim back then, with an ordinary Foundation, was now able to single-handedly support the shifting situation of the Immortal Realm and overturn the patterns of eternity.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and did not press further.

The path of cultivation has its own Opportunities, and everyone has their own secrets in their hearts. Since Gu Changge was unwilling to say more, he would not pry.

At this time, Gu Changge raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, Ling Xi, Wang Xiaopang, and Dong Li standing respectfully to his side.

"You few, come here."

Hearing this, everyone immediately stepped forward, bowing in unison with respectful postures.

Gu Changge's voice was calm as he slowly introduced: "This is my Revered Master, Zizhu Daoist."

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

Xiao Ruobai and the others wore solemn expressions, bowing together with complete propriety and full of reverence.

Zizhu Daoist looked at the group of young Disciples before him, who possessed extraordinary bearing and solid Foundations.

Each stood tall with a firm Dao Heart. A gentle smile appeared in his eyes as he nodded slightly: "Rise, all of you. Very good."

The atmosphere was gentle, and the peak was peaceful.

A moment later, Xuan Yangzi could finally no longer suppress the doubts that had accumulated in his heart for many years. He stepped forward and asked:

"Brother Zizhu, I never expected you to be a Heavenly Emperor, and one who has guarded the Immortal Realm's front lines for millions of years.

Can you tell us now why you appeared in the Xuanhuang Lower Realm back then?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze converged. This was the biggest question in everyone's heart.

Zizhu Daoist gazed at the clouds filling the sky, a long-lasting vicissitude welling up in his eyes. He spoke slowly, revealing a secret buried for eternity:

"This matter must begin from the day the Immortal Realm shattered."

"In the past, the Immortal Realm suddenly suffered a catastrophe; the world split apart, and the Dao was incomplete.

At the moment I suddenly failed and the Immortal Realm was about to shatter, I risked backlash and, utilizing the momentum of the world, sensed in the darkness that this inconspicuous Xuanhuang Lower Realm held a glimmer of survival for the world.

Later, it happened that the Black Abyss Realm invaded on a large scale, with a demonic tide covering the world. The Immortal Realm was on the verge of destruction, the momentum collapsing, and no one could stop it.

To ensure the Immortal Realm would not be extinguished and its orthodoxy would not be severed, I gathered the remaining seeds of the Immortal Realm back then.

I selected the top Prodigies from the various Immortal Emperor orthodoxies and countless young Cultivators with infinite potential.

I split off a wisp of my Origin Clone and, carrying the seeds of the Immortal Realm, descended upon the Xuanhuang Great World.

With supreme Dao power, I sealed and hid them all, concealing them in the cracks of this world. As long as the war continued for a day, they would not emerge for a day.

If the Immortal Realm could no longer hold on, they would be the final hope of the Immortal Realm!"

"Later, that wisp of my Clone exhausted its Origin, and its Divine Soul slept within the Reincarnation of Xuanhuang.

It awakened and returned twenty years ago. Remembering the heavy responsibility from eons ago and unable to rest easy regarding the battle at the front lines, it left immediately to return to the Immortal Realm's front lines."

The story was told calmly but carried heavy weight, moving everyone present.

Gu Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was suddenly shaken.

He had always known Zizhu Daoist's background was extraordinary, but he had never imagined that the Xuanhuang World held such an ancient secret.

"You sealed all the Prodigy seeds of the Immortal Realm in the Xuanhuang World?"

Gu Changge spoke softly, with a hint of surprise; he had never noticed any abnormality in the past.

That was true.

With the supreme methods of the Zizhu Heavenly Emperor, a secret deliberately sealed and hidden was impossible to detect through ordinary investigation unless the other party spoke of it themselves.

Zizhu Daoist nodded gently upon hearing this: "That is correct. Back then, I sensed in the darkness that the Xuanhuang World carried a glimmer of Opportunity for transcendence.

But that Opportunity was ethereal and elusive, impossible to capture or locate.

I devised a plan: outside the space where the Immortal Realm's seeds were sealed, I set up a Secret Realm, permeated it with Undying Dao Rhyme, placed an undying medicine inside, and named it the Undying Secret Realm.

At the same time, I scattered the seven star secret tokens, letting them drift to the various Sects and ancient clans of the heavens.

Using the undying divine medicine and the Secret Realm's Opportunity as bait, I attracted the Prodigies and experts of the heavens to scramble to explore the Secret Realm.

My original intention was to use the collision of Luck and the struggle for Opportunity among countless top forces and Prodigies to shake the world and force out that glimmer of hidden survival in Xuanhuang."

"Grandmaster, are you talking about the Undying Secret Realm?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xiaopang exclaimed aloud on the spot, his voice rising several notches.

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi were also stunned, as memories from many years ago instantly flooded their minds.

The scenes of them holding the seven star secret tokens in the past, being chased by experts and Old Ancestors of Holy Lands, and fleeing in distress were still vivid in their minds.

They never expected that this Secret Realm, which drove countless people crazy, was actually set up by Zizhu Daoist!

Wang Xiaopang's small face collapsed, looking both amused and exasperated. He reached into his storage space and fished out that seven star secret token; the surface of the token was even covered in a bit of dust.

"Grandmaster, we were truly miserable back then; fleeing all the way, you can't imagine how pathetic we were!"

Xiao Ruobai and Ling Xi nodded heavily in unison: "Yes, truly miserable!"

Fang Hanyu also nodded gently, with a hint of helplessness between his brows.

Zizhu looked at their amused and exasperated expressions, and a gentle smile rippled in his eyes that had been silent for many years.

The cold sharpness from his days guarding the battlefield had completely faded, leaving only the kindness and relief of an elder:

"You have these tokens in your hands too?"

"Of course! Later, when the Undying Secret Realm showed no movement for a long time, we even thought it was made up by some scammer."

Wang Xiaopang pinched the dust-covered seven star secret token in his hand, puffed out his cheeks, and replied helplessly.

Zizhu Daoist's gaze swept over everyone. Recalling the various plans he had made back then to set up the Secret Realm and scatter the seven star secret tokens, his tone carried a hint of sighing:

"I originally wanted to use the gathering of Prodigies and the interweaving of Luck to pry open that glimmer of original survival in the Xuanhuang World.

Later, after my Clone returned and I went back to the front lines, I had no time to attend to the Secret Realm. Over time, the Secret Realm remained in a sealed state and was never truly opened.

It turns out that the glimmer of survival I sensed was actually you, Changge..."

As his voice fell, he turned his head to look deeply at Gu Changge, his eyes full of realization and emotion, a thousand thoughts intertwined in his gaze.

The glimmer of hope he had captured in the darkness back then, after twisting and turning, had ultimately landed on his own Disciple.

To the side, Gu Changge's mind stirred, and his Divine Thought spread out with a roar, instantly enveloping the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

In an instant, he locked onto an ancient Secret Realm far away.

His Divine Sense penetrated the layers of sealed space barriers and delved into the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

The next moment, a miniature world, shrunk to the size of a mustard seed and silent for eons, lay quietly in the depths of the Secret Realm's Void Realm, sealed by layers of supreme Dao patterns, isolating all heavenly secrets.

Inside, the Prodigies of the Immortal Realm from an entire era were sleeping!
