847: Chapter 848 Ascension

Gu Changge withdrew his Divine Thought, his gaze narrowing slightly as he fell silent for a moment.

That mustard seed space lay dormant within the crevices of the Xuanhuang World, within arm's reach.

However, he was in no rush to break the Seal. Since it had been slumbering for millions of years, a moment more would not hurt.

How to awaken it and how to settle it afterward required careful consideration.

He turned his head to look at Revered Master Purple Bamboo: "Revered Master, when do you plan to awaken those sparks?"

Revered Master Purple Bamboo did not answer immediately; he looked around Zizhu Peak.

The peak was wreathed in Immortal Qi, with forests of spiritual bamboo, and the air was permeated with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi so dense it was almost liquid.

The soil beneath his feet was moist and soft, carrying a faint spiritual charm when stepped upon, and every inch of land radiated vibrant life.

In the distance, the mountain gate of the Azure Profound Sect loomed in and out of the clouds, with halls and pavilions arranged in an orderly fashion. Occasionally, streams of light streaked across the horizon—those were the Disciples on patrol.

He looked down again at the stone table and stools in front of him, and at the Immortal fruit that Gu Changge had brought out.

He suddenly felt that he had never been this relaxed in his entire life.

"Let's talk about it after some time." Revered Master Purple Bamboo leaned back against the chair, his tone carrying a rare touch of laziness.

"After fighting for millions of years, it is finally time to catch my breath. I want to rest for a few more days."

Seeing him like this, a smile could not help but appear on Gu Changge's lips:

"Then there is no rush. They have been sleeping for a long time; a few days will not make a difference."

He paused and added: "Moreover, the Immortal Domain has just been pacified, and everything needs to be rebuilt. The Immortal Emperors of those ancient orthodoxy have also just returned, and various forces are still readjusting. It will not be too late to awaken them after the Immortal Domain stabilizes a bit."

Master Purple Bamboo nodded and said no more.

With the serious business concluded, the atmosphere on the peak gradually relaxed.

Xuan Yangzi waved his hand with a smile: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Brother Purple Bamboo's return today is a joyous occasion."

As he spoke, he waved his large sleeve, and several bottles of aged wine with an amber luster appeared on the stone table. The aroma of the wine overflowed, refreshing anyone who smelled it:

"This is fine wine I have treasured for hundreds of years. Since Brother Purple Bamboo is back today, it is just the right time to open it!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Old Ancestor's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Purple Bamboo is back, we must celebrate properly! This is the number one joyous event for our Azure Profound Sect!"

The other peak Masters also chimed in, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Seeing this, Gu Changge smiled slightly and was not stingy, raising his hand to flick lightly through the Void Realm.

As spiritual light flickered, over a dozen jars of Immortal wine of various shapes, suffused with Spiritual Qi, landed neatly beside the stone table.

These were all top-grade Immortal brews he had obtained through daily check-ins.

Gu Changge casually opened a jar, and the mellow wine aroma instantly permeated the air. Even Xuan Yangzi could not help but take a deep breath, showing an expression of amazement.

"Master is back, we must celebrate properly."

As Gu Changge said this, he waved his hand again, and three massive figures appeared out of thin air beside the spiritual field not far away.

They were none other than the Wanxiang Old Ancestor, the Sky-Splitting Kui Ox, and the Eight Desolations War Bear, who were in the middle of closing their eyes to Cultivate.

The three giant beasts opened their eyes in a daze, and before they could figure out the situation, they discovered that large chunks of flesh had already been removed from their bodies.

Before Master Purple Bamboo could react, Gu Changge moved his fingertips slightly, and several rays of spiritual light swept past.

Slices of crystal-clear, blood-rich Immortal meat flew into the air and landed precisely into the pot that had been prepared.

"Changge's cooking skills are truly superb!" The Great Ancestor's eyes lit up.

Master Purple Bamboo: "..."

Before long, the Immortal meat in the pot was rolling and boiling, the broth thick and white like jade, emitting an alluring luster.

Everyone sat around the stone table, clinking cups and exchanging toasts, discussing the hardships of past battles, the interesting events of the Sect in recent years, and their reflections on the changes in the world.

Laughter and the aroma of meat intertwined, and the entire Zizhu Peak was immersed in a long-lost liveliness and warmth.

Master Purple Bamboo sat in the main seat, holding the Immortal wine that Gu Changge had poured for him, looking at the lively scene before him.

Xuan Yangzi was drinking with the Fifth Ancestor, while the other Old Ancestors gathered to taste the Immortal meat.

Wang Xiaopang was already eating with his mouth full of grease, not forgetting to pick up a piece for Dong Li beside him.

Old Huang was eating meat and drinking wine in big gulps, while drunkenly cutting a few pieces from his own body and throwing them into the pot.

He muttered: "Don't stop me. Today, I want to invite everyone to taste the flavor of Immortal Emperor Realm Yao Beast meat."

Seeing this, Little White was terrified; she didn't know whether to cut or not.

Watching this scene, the weariness that had settled in the depths of Master Purple Bamboo's eyes for millions of years seemed to melt away in this banquet.

"You have to say, this Immortal Emperor meat is really delicious!"

Master Purple Bamboo couldn't help but savor the taste, his eyes lingering on Old Huang.

Just then! In the eastern sky, a soft golden light suddenly shone.

The light was not blinding, but carried a solemn and dignified aura, as if the world itself was holding some ancient ceremony.

Immediately after, the boundary wall of the Xuanhuang World trembled slightly, and it actually opened a portal on its own.

Everyone on the peak looked up at the same time.

"What is that?!" Wang Xiaopang jumped up abruptly, his drunkenness instantly fading by more than half.

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi also had their expressions tighten, rising one after another and looking warily at the crack.

Master Purple Bamboo put down his wine cup, narrowed his eyes, and gazed through the glowing clouds into the depths of the crack.

"Is this the scene of breaking the world for Ascension?" He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.

At the same time, the voice of the Xuanhuang World's will rang in Gu Changge's ears, with a touch of excitement as if seeking credit:

"Brother, look! I have received the first person to Ascend!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Ascension?

Since when did the Xuanhuang World start to guide Ascension?

"Little Xuan, what is going on?" Gu Changge asked.

The Xuanhuang World's will replied happily, full of pride and smugness:

"I feel so powerful now! Now that my Immortal Dao Laws have further perfected, they have begun to affect the surrounding Chaos Void, and many surrounding worlds are centering themselves around the Xuanhuang World. After some Cultivators reach the Great Emperor Realm, they will be naturally pulled by its power. As long as someone triggers the Ascension rules, I will take the opportunity to open the Ascension channel."

Gu Changge nodded in understanding and did not ask any further.

At this moment, those who sensed this vision were far more than just the people on Zizhu Peak.

In the Xuanhuang Great World, all the powerful figures of top forces sensed the fluctuation and looked over one after another.

"Is it another powerful enemy arriving, or...?"

Before everyone could think about it carefully, they saw a figure slowly descending from the golden crack.

It was a man who looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in a black and gold robe, with the Emperor Might of having just broken through to the Great Emperor Realm lingering around him, his aura surging and sharp.

His face was handsome, and there was an innate arrogance between his brows.
