433: Chapter 433 Summoning the Son of Heaven

One moment, Gu Changsheng was still in the main hall of the Solemn Gold Palace; the next, he was already sitting steadily upon the throne on the Main Peak of the Yuanmu Grotto-Heaven.

Inside his Dantian, the palm-sized phantom of the Dao Embryo slowly opened its eyes. Cyan and gold light rippled out from around the phantom, filling the entire Cave Heaven.

Within the Cave Heaven, all living things trembled in unison.

The Spiritual Qi within the mountains, rivers, and streams surged on its own; plants and flowers swayed without any wind, and countless birds and beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move a muscle.

The branches and leaves of the ten-thousand-year-old ancient pine outside the Main Peak hall stretched out, sprouting a hundred zhang of new branches in just a few breaths.

The Cave Heaven was already prosperous.

Across the thousand-mile-radius land, Spiritual Veins crisscrossed, fields of spiritual crops stretched out, and low-level Cultivators shuttled back and forth through the marketplaces.

Ever since Gu Changsheng had descended the rain of creation after his Breakthrough, everything in the Cave Heaven had undergone an evolution, creating a scene already brimming with vitality.

Now, as the Dao Embryo phantom circulated, this vitality was pushed to new heights once again.

Gu Changsheng was in no rush to stabilize his Realm.

He stood up from the throne, walked to the edge of the main hall, and looked down over the entire Cave Heaven.

A thousand miles.

For Mortals, this was already a vast territory. But for the Dao Embryo Realm, it was too small.

When he was at the Golden Core stage, this pond was barely sufficient. Now that he had shattered his Golden Core to form the Dao Embryo, this little plot of land simply could not bear his Dao fruit.

Upon the throne, Gu Changsheng closed his eyes to look within.

The Dao Embryo in his Dantian emitted a faint light; although it had already formed, the mana fluctuations around it were somewhat unstable.

Although the Law of this Cave Heaven had improved due to his Breakthrough, its foundation was ultimately a bit thin.

The Dao Embryo needed to absorb massive amounts of Spiritual Qi to deduce the Dao; relying solely on the Spiritual Veins of this thousand-mile land, it could not be sustained for long.

He needed more resources—not just Spirit Stones, but also Spiritual Vein cores, and exotic treasures containing the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"It is time to collect the debts."

Gu Changsheng spoke calmly, his voice traveling along the chains of Karma and into the ears of several people millions of miles away.

The East Sea, the Chaotic Star Sea.

Hou Chen, who was cultivating with his eyes closed on an island, opened his eyes abruptly.

The chains of Karma trembled, and the Master's will instantly descended into his mind.

Hou Chen did not hesitate in the slightest; he immediately gathered all the resources the Longevity Tower had accumulated over these days, even sweeping away all the Sea Soul Marrow and Water-Avoiding Beads that the East Sea Dragon Palace had previously sent.

He transformed into a streak of dark yellow light, piercing directly through the Void Realm barrier in the direction of the Karma chains.

Meanwhile, inside a hidden bunker of the Chengtian Pavilion in the Central Province.

Chen Mu also stood up in his secret chamber; the blue lotus mark on his forehead was radiating a scorching heat.

The Master was summoning him.

Chen Mu flicked his sleeve, sweeping hundreds of Storage Rings that had long been prepared in the treasure vault into his embrace.

These rings were filled with Spiritual Vein cores submitted by the major Sects of the Central Province after their surrender, each one shimmering with pure spiritual light.

He activated the blue lotus mark on his forehead, and a cyan light enveloped him, causing him to instantly vanish from the hidden bunker.

Yuanmu Grotto-Heaven, Main Peak plaza.

Gu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back on the stone steps of the main hall, watching the Void Realm ahead.

Two streaks of light tore through the Cave Heaven barrier almost simultaneously, landing in the center of the plaza.

The dark yellow light faded, revealing Hou Chen, who immediately knelt on one knee and presented a blue Storage Ring radiating thick water vapor with both hands.

"Master, the ten-thousand-year Sea Soul Marrow and Water-Avoiding Beads offered by the East Sea Dragon Palace, as well as the East Sea resources scavenged by the Longevity Tower, have all been brought back."

On the other side, Chen Mu also knelt on both knees, holding hundreds of Storage Rings shimmering with various colors high above his head.

"Master, the four hundred and twenty-seven Spiritual Vein cores submitted by the major Sects of the Central Province after their surrender are all here."

The two men prostrated themselves on the ground, not even daring to look up and meet the cyan-gold light radiating from Gu Changsheng's body.

That pressure belonging to the Dao Embryo Realm, even if just naturally overflowing, was enough to make the circulation of the True Essence within their bodies sluggish.

Gu Changsheng flicked his sleeve.

The Storage Rings in their hands flew up on their own, hovering in mid-air.

"Well done."

Gu Changsheng spoke calmly.

He flicked his finger, and the hundreds of Storage Rings in mid-air shattered simultaneously, turning into dust that filled the sky.

Countless spiritual materials, jade boxes, and those four hundred-plus Spiritual Vein cores shimmering with blinding light swirled above the Main Peak like a vast galaxy.

The Sea Soul Marrow turned into pure blue water vapor, condensing into clouds and mist in mid-air; the Spiritual Vein cores radiated colorful halos of Laws, dyeing the entire sky in brilliant hues.

Gu Changsheng formed seals with both hands, and the Dao Embryo phantom in his Dantian opened its eyes abruptly.

Boom!

A torrent of cyan and gold Laws poured out from his body, transforming into a gigantic, invisible palm that crushed the galaxy of resources in the sky.

Violent Spiritual Qi and fragments of Laws fused in mid-air, then turned into a colorful rainstorm, crashing into the depths of the Cave Heaven's Earth Veins.

The entire Cave Heaven shook violently at this moment.

A dull roar came from the depths of the Earth Veins, and the boundaries of the Cave Heaven, which had originally been only a thousand miles in radius, began to expand outward at an incredible speed.

The land extended, and the mountains and rivers were reorganized.

Hou Chen and Chen Mu only felt the ground beneath their feet shaking crazily, while the Void Realm in the distance continuously expanded outward, revealing new land and mountains.

A thousand miles, three thousand miles, five thousand miles...

It was not until the Cave Heaven territory expanded to a ten-thousand-mile radius that this violent expansion momentum slowly subsided.

Across the ten-thousand-mile land, hundreds of brand-new mountain ranges rose from the ground; filled with massive amounts of Spiritual Vein cores, the underground Spiritual Veins became incredibly thick, and Spiritual Qi turned into liquid, surging through underground river channels.

The Main Peak rose by a thousand zhang, and complex Earth and Wood-type Dao patterns appeared on the surface of the mountain, radiating rich vitality.

Above the dome, the originally gray sky, infused with the massive foundation, condensed into a layer of pale golden cloud sea.

As the cloud sea churned, a wisp of extremely pure energy slowly descended from the clouds.

This energy carried an aura of transcending the mundane, heavy as ten thousand jun, landing on the Main Peak and causing the Void Realm to slightly distort.

Immortal Spiritual Qi.

Although it was very faint, it had truly been born.

Hou Chen and Chen Mu looked at the pale golden energy descending from above, their eyes filled with shock.

"The Cave Heaven has given birth to Immortal Spiritual Qi."

Gu Changsheng looked at the two men below and spoke slowly.

"From now on, you two shall cultivate in seclusion on the Main Peak. The energy here will increase your cultivation speed by more than tenfold, saving you a hundred years of detours."

"Thank you for the reward, Master!"

The two replied in unison, their expressions filled with fervor.

Hou Chen did not delay; he pointed to a blue stone not far away and walked over to sit cross-legged.

Chen Mu chose a spring on the other side of the Main Peak and also closed his eyes to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

As the two began to cultivate, the pure Spiritual Qi around the Main Peak and that wisp of Immortal Spiritual Qi were drawn over, turning into a faint light mist that enveloped them.

After only a moment of cultivation, Hou Chen felt that his newly stabilized Golden Core Realm had reached complete Perfection, and there was even a faint trend of advancing toward the Golden Core Middle Stage.

The Wither-Prosper Death Qi around Chen Mu also became more condensed, and the phantom of the Ember-Born Flower appeared and disappeared behind him, greedily absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi, his aura climbing steadily.

Gu Changsheng withdrew his gaze and sat back on the throne.

The Laws of the ten-thousand-mile Cave Heaven were completely stabilized at this moment, and the Dao Embryo phantom circulated within his Dantian, creating a sense of connection as if it were flesh and blood with this Cave Heaven.

His Dao Embryo had finally completely stabilized.

However, just as he closed his eyes, preparing to use the power of the Cave Heaven to continue deducing the Laws, his brows suddenly furrowed.

He sent out his Divine Sense, instantly penetrating the Cave Heaven's barrier and sensing the changes in the rules of the outside world.

The outside Spiritual Qi that should have been continuously pouring into the Cave Heaven was now blocked by an invisible barrier, becoming extremely obscure.

The Heavenly Dao Laws of the outside world faintly emitted a sense of rejection.

It was as if this world could no longer accommodate power that exceeded its limits.

Gu Changsheng opened his eyes abruptly, his brows slightly furrowed. "This world... actually cannot accommodate a Dao Embryo?"
