870: Chapter 871 Ascending to Heaven and Entering the Ruins, the Celestial Realm Arrives

Here, the canopy of heaven stretched out for hundreds of millions of miles without end, and the Dao laws of heaven and earth were complete, pure, and profound to the absolute limit.

Every wisp of Spiritual Qi flowing through the air carried fully-formed Dao patterns of the Great Dao, surpassing the Xuanhuang World by hundreds or thousands of times.

Looking into the distance, floating heavenly peaks spanned across the river of stars, and ancient divine mountains towered in the Void Realm.

The land was vast, with countless forces, overlapping Star Domains, and boundless territories.

A single glance was enough to let one know that the Lower Realm's Xuanhuang was merely a tiny space at the bottom of a well.

This world was the true dojo of the strong, the summit of the heavens!

Behind him, the Disciples of Zizhu Peak were all deeply shaken, unable to look away for a long time.

Born in the mortal dust and rising from insignificance, they had risen all the way to look down upon the Immortal Realm, and only today did they finally set foot upon this ultimate world that countless Cultivators dreamed of.

Gu Changge's expression remained calm, showing neither surprise nor joy.

Sweeping his gaze in all directions, he instantly perceived the layout of the surrounding world for hundreds of millions of miles.

In the Heaven Realm, the rules of heaven and earth were strict, and the suppression between Dao levels was distinct; Heavenly Lord Immortal Caves could be seen everywhere, and Heavenly King dojos were also numerous.

Further away, there was even the terrifying pressure of a Heavenly Venerate's Dao domain faintly spreading out, hanging heavily between heaven and earth.

That the strong stood in great numbers was by no means an exaggeration.

"It is indeed much livelier than the Lower Realm."

Gu Changge spoke softly and indifferently. With a slight movement of his Divine Thought, a red streak of light shot over at extreme speed from beyond the sea of clouds ahead, crossing an endless distance in an instant.

As the streak of light landed, Heavenly King Chi Xiao knelt on one knee in the Void Realm, bowing his head in an extremely respectful posture.

"Your subordinate, Heavenly King Chi Xiao, welcomes my Lord to the Heaven Realm!"

He had already completely swept through the Yunmiao Heavenly Ruins, thoroughly purging all miscellaneous spirits and Vicious Beasts within.

A high-grade Dao-protecting grand array that concealed the heavens and hid the earth had already taken shape, perfectly masking all fluctuations of aura.

"Is the place settled?" Gu Changge asked casually.

"Replying to my Lord, everything is fully prepared."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao lowered his head and replied, his voice respectful and steady:

"The Yunmiao Heavenly Ruins, spanning a million miles, have been completely cleared. The grand array can isolate all detection, deduction, and prying of heavenly secrets below the Late Stage of Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Veins within the ruins are pure, the Dao fortune is long-lasting, and there is no Evil Qi or disturbance, making it perfectly suited for closed-door cultivation, comprehending the Dao, and establishing a Sect.

Your subordinate has also repeatedly checked the surrounding forces. There is no Heavenly Venerate heritage governing nearby, and the nearest Heavenly King Sect is also eight million miles away, so they will not easily pry into this place."

Gu Changge nodded slightly.

Secure.

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao rose to lead the way, and the group trod through the air, traveling through the sea of clouds in the Heaven Realm.

Along the way, they passed floating immortal mountains and ancient Dao platforms one after another, occasionally spotting Heavenly King Cultivators flying through the air from afar, riding clouds to preach the Dao, with a bearing far surpassing that of Lower Realm Cultivators.

Creatures of the Heaven Realm were born enjoying high-level Dao laws; their vision, foundation, and starting point of cultivation naturally crushed the myriad worlds.

As they moved forward, the closer they got to the Yunmiao Heavenly Ruins, the quieter the surroundings became.

This place was located in the cracks between forces in the southern region of the Heaven Realm, hundreds of billions of miles away from the Heavenly Lord Qingming heritage on the left.

To the right, it avoided the range of influence of the Immortal Ancient Forbidden Zone; to the front, it did not touch the conflict-ridden Star Domains, and to the back, it was far from prosperous territories.

It was a true lawless, hidden vacuum zone, with only a few scattered Heavenly King and Heavenly Lord forces in between.

A moment later, a faint mist illusion slowly emerged ahead.

The mist swirled, hazy and ethereal; it looked completely empty, but in truth, it contained its own universe, concealing a complete ancient Secret Realm world.

It was indeed the Yunmiao Heavenly Ruins.

"My Lord, we have arrived."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao waved his hand gently, and the ethereal mist ahead automatically parted to reveal a path.

The moment they stepped into the Secret Realm, a warm, rich, and endlessly circulating ultimate Dao Rhyme washed over them.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi condensed into a misty rain, slowly falling, while the earth veins flowed continuously. Natural Dao patterns could be seen everywhere in the Void Realm, nourishing the Divine Soul and stabilizing the dao foundation.

Gu Changge's gaze swept across the entire heavenly ruins, and his heart was completely at ease.

It was indeed a perfect place to settle down.

Although the territory was somewhat small, that was only relative to the endless territories of Heavenly Venerate-level forces; for them at present, it was more than enough.

"From now on, this will be our settling place in the Heaven Realm."

Gu Changge's voice was light as it reached everyone's ears. With a gentle flick of his sleeve, the entire Zizhu Peak, which had been stored inside,

manifested with a boom, landing steadily right in the center of the heavenly ruins.

The mortal immortal peak that originally belonged to the Xuanhuang World now took root in the Heaven Realm's Secret Realm, instantly merging with the Heavenly Veins here. Wisps of Dao Rhyme quietly spread out, perfectly aligning with the Dao laws of heaven and earth.

The homeland of the Lower Realm was now established in the heavens!

Looking at the familiar Zizhu Peak standing in the unfamiliar world of the Heaven Realm, everyone instantly felt incredibly reassured.

No matter where they were in the myriad worlds, this place was home.

"You may enter closed-door cultivation to stabilize your cultivation and adapt to the Dao laws of the Heaven Realm."

Gu Changge gave his instructions:

"The Dao laws of the Heaven Realm are of a higher level. Your former Immortal Emperor Dao fruits can be polished and sublimated once more here to charge towards the Heaven-Reaching Realm. There is no need to rush for success."

"Yes, Revered Master (Lord)!"

Everyone responded in unison and dispersed to practice.

Soon, Spiritual Qi surged across the entire Zizhu Peak, and Dao Rhymes rose and fell one after another. Countless spiritual lights of Dao comprehension soared into the sky, yet they were perfectly concealed by the grand array, without a single shred leaking out.

Gu Changge walked slowly to a bench in the bamboo courtyard and sat down, once again taking in the sight of this place.

The Qingming Ancient Plains was crowded with people and rife with endless disputes.

The Falling Star Abyss Domain was filled with towering Evil Qi and was not suitable for a long stay.

Only the Yunmiao Heavenly Ruins was most suitable for him to currently lie low, develop quietly, sign in daily, and replenish his cultivation.

Once everyone had left, only Gu Changge and Heavenly King Chi Xiao remained in the hall.

Heavenly King Chi Xiao took a step forward and lowered his head to report on the recent situation in the Heaven Realm:

"Replying to my Lord, the Tianshu Dojo has been making quite a stir recently.

The Dojo Revered Master guards the core of the dojo year-round, and the seven Heavenly Venerate Hall Revered Masters under his command govern the seven major territories.

Over thirty Heavenly Kings manage various strongholds, and countless Heavenly Lords and Heaven-Reaching Cultivators serve as eyes and ears, with their influence spreading across the Southern Region of the Heaven Realm."

"After your subordinate returned last time, I reported to the Tianshu Dojo Master, stating that the Black Abyss Realm was destroyed by the Progenitor of the Black Abyss devouring its Origin to heal his injuries, and that there was nothing unusual in the Immortal Domain.

The Dojo Revered Master did not ask much at the time, only dismissing your subordinate."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao paused, lowering his voice slightly:

"However, after observing for many days, your subordinate discovered that although the Dojo Revered Master is preparing for closed-door cultivation, he does not seem to have completely let go of his suspicions regarding the Immortal Domain.

According to information from an insider within the dojo, before his closed-door cultivation, the Dojo Revered Master summoned the Seventh Hall Revered Master alone, the fourth-level Heavenly Venerate, Hall Master Ligu.

He ordered him to secretly keep an eye on the direction of the Immortal Domain. If there is any anomaly, there is no need to report it, and he can directly take action to suppress it."

"In addition, the Dojo Revered Master's closed-door cultivation this time seems to show signs of attempting to break through the shackles of the Supreme realm.

If he indeed succeeds, the power of the Tianshu Dojo will inevitably expand further, and at that time, they will likely increase their penetration and conquest of the surrounding areas."

After listening, Gu Changge lightly tapped the armrest with his fingertips, his expression unchanged.

"Breaking through to the Supreme realm..."

He repeated in a low voice, the corners of his lips curling slightly. "It seems this Dojo Revered Master has quite some ambition."

He paused, then asked, "What kind of person is Hall Master Ligu?"

"Hall Master Ligu, a fourth-level Heavenly Venerate, is originally an ancient Vicious Beast skeleton that gained sentience. He is violent and bloodthirsty, and his combat strength ranks in the middle among the seven Hall Revered Masters.

If he is ordered to keep an eye on the Immortal Domain, it probably won't be as simple as just watching."

Gu Changge nodded and asked no more.

"Continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Tianshu Dojo, especially that Hall Master Ligu," Gu Changge instructed.

"Your subordinate obeys," Heavenly King Chi Xiao bowed to accept the order and quietly withdrew.

"System, sign in."

With a thought, Gu Changge habitually initiated his daily sign-in.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for a successful sign-in!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Top-grade Heavenly Vein × 10, containing the essence of heaven and earth's Origin.

They can be integrated into any grotto-heaven or blessed land, increasing its Spiritual Qi concentration by a thousand times and evolving the Dao Rhymes of heaven and earth."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: 1,000,000 years of cultivation."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: 10 copies of the Immortal Heavenly Scriptures!"
