241: Chapter 241 The Origin of Immortal Cultivation!
Dressed in white as pure as snow, her black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall.
A layer of translucent immortal light swirled around her body.
Around the jade platform, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Dao patterns were surging frantically toward her; she was clearly here to Cultivate in seclusion.
Her Aura was unfathomable; even the inadvertently leaked pressure caused Gu Changsheng's heart to sink slightly.
Gu Changsheng thought to himself that even the Holy Son of Qingxiao likely wouldn't last three moves against this woman!
As if sensing his gaze, the woman in white slowly opened her eyes and turned to look.
Her eyes were as clear and bright as the moon hanging in the sky; Gu Changsheng was suddenly startled, feeling those eyes grow increasingly brilliant.
The woman's figure abruptly faded from his sight, leaving only those two rounds of clear radiance in the world, captivating his soul.
In the next instant, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.
The grand hall vanished without a trace, and he found himself in the middle of a blood-stained wilderness where countless Cultivators were roaring and charging; Magic Treasures filled the sky, and Divine Abilities exploded, shattering the heavens and earth, leaving the sun and moon without light.
Gu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, Chaos churning in the depths of his pupils; the illusory scene before him collapsed upon itself, turning into a void.
The grand hall and jade platform returned to his vision; he had broken the illusion in an instant.
Seeing him escape so quickly, a hint of surprise flickered in the white-clothed woman's eyes.
She had just woken from her Cultivation and hadn't yet restrained her Aura; that phenomenon just now...
...was merely a Divine Ability formed naturally by her profound cultivation and internal power, not an intentional attack.
The woman's lips curled slightly, her voice as clear and refreshing as a spring: "You must be the top ranker of this Langxiao Immortal Ceremony."
Gu Changsheng nodded, his tone indifferent: "Indeed."
"May I ask for your name, Fellow Daoist?"
Gu Changsheng chuckled and said loudly, "The Saint of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect from the Eastern Region, Gu Changsheng."
"I presume you, Fellow Daoist, are the Saintess of Yaochi."
A faint smile spread across the white-clothed woman's exquisite face as she nodded in response: "Correct, my name is An Junru."
She sighed inwardly; having been in seclusion in the Small World for several years, she had heard that the younger generation of the Xuantian True Domain had long been overshadowed by the Holy Son of Qingxiao and the Eternal Imperial Son.
She had met those two before; they were indeed favored by heaven, heroes of their generation.
But the top ranker of this Langxiao Immortal Ceremony was this Holy Son of Daoxuan; it seemed those two had ultimately been defeated by him.
This youth was only in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, yet his cultivation was unfathomable; even she couldn't help but feel a slight shock.
Gu Changsheng was also sizing up this consistently mysterious Saintess of Yaochi.
The Yaochi Holy Land was one of the three great Sacred Lands of the Middle Heaven, yet no Disciples had participated in the Langxiao Immortal Ceremony.
He had long suspected that this Saintess had already transcended the scope of the younger generation.
Seeing her today, it was indeed so; her cultivation was remarkably in the Myriad Laws Realm!
Judging by her Aura, she must have entered the Myriad Laws Realm years ago, yet her vital energy was at its peak, and her age was no more than twenty-some years.
A Myriad Laws Realm expert in her twenties... A strange look flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.
Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he pointed toward the base of the emperor aura immortal stele, saying solemnly, "Saintess, have you ever comprehended this Immortal Dao Origin?"
An Junru's gaze suddenly froze, her voice fluctuating for the first time: "You can actually tell that is Immortal Qi?"
This emperor aura immortal stele had stood for hundreds of thousands of years; countless Prodigies and sages had come to comprehend it, and all believed that was the core of the Great Emperor's Laws.
Only the successive Saintesses of Yaochi, through secret transmissions passed down through generations, knew that a few wisps of Immortal Dao Origin were Sealed within the stele.
And this Holy Son of Daoxuan had actually seen through the Immortal Qi hidden in the Void Realm at a glance; he was truly unfathomable.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Changsheng felt certain and said calmly, "Under the Heavy Pupils, all principles manifest themselves. Outsiders think it is the Emperor's Law, but only you and I know its Origin."
An Junru pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "Since you've seen through it, I won't hide it from you. I have Cultivated hard for three years and have only managed to gather a single wisp."
"The Immortal Dao is sentient and extremely repelled by mortal beings; with the slightest carelessness, it will escape into the Void Realm, making it difficult to capture again."
She looked at Gu Changsheng, a hint of joy at meeting a fellow traveler appearing in her eyes.
Gu Changsheng looked up at the Dao patterns wandering across the sky and said flatly, "A single wisp? That's too slow. Fellow Daoist, you won't mind if I make a bit of a scene, will you?"
An Junru was stunned; before she could grasp his meaning, she saw Gu Changsheng stop speaking and suddenly form hand Seals in front of his chest.
The nine Taixu Apertures within his body all went wild!
"Buzz—"
An overbearingly powerful devouring force erupted from the apertures all over his body.
The Void Realm collapsed directly, and the immortal mist around the white jade platform was instantly pulled into several white serpents, frantically surging into his body.
The Dao patterns wandering in the cracks of the stone stele were disturbed by this and fled in all directions.
The shadow behind Gu Changsheng suddenly expanded, turning into a giant mouth that covered the sky; the Taixu Hunyuan World-Suppressing Scripture operated at full power, incomparably domineering.
An Junru was shaken by this violent wave of energy; looking at the vortex of power forming around Gu Changsheng, she cried out in shock, "You're crazy! Acting so recklessly will destroy the Dao patterns! If the Immortal Qi is startled, it will definitely flee into the depths of the Void Realm, making it impossible to find again!"
Gu Changsheng ignored her; his fingertips sliced through the Void Realm, trailing a string of blazing sparks: "Since it won't listen, I'll just catch it back!"
He gripped the air, his Heavy Pupils precisely locking onto a wisp of Immortal Qi a hundred feet away.
As if sensing a fatal danger, the tail of the Immortal Qi whipped violently, attempting to dive into a spatial rift.
"Seal!"
Gu Changsheng's voice rang out like spring thunder; as the word fell, the surrounding space instantly froze.
His large hand pierced through the Void Realm, like an eagle catching a rabbit, firmly grasping that wisp.
The Immortal Qi suddenly let out a shrill cry, like a living young Dragon.
"Behave yourself!"
Gu Changsheng barked, and Chaos Divine Fire rose from his palm, wrapping the Immortal Qi in layers.
The milky-white wisp twisted violently within the gray flames, but its resistance rapidly diminished.
He yanked it back and forcefully pressed this wisp of Immortal Qi into his brow!
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the sound of a great bell vibrated, and an unprecedented sense of clarity instantly spread through his entire body.
An Junru stood opposite him, already dazed.
The method of comprehension she had spent three years of hard cultivation to figure out was like child's play compared to Gu Changsheng's domineering tactics.
"So overbearing..." she murmured to herself, her heart filled with insurmountable shock.
After swallowing a wisp of Immortal Qi, a strange flush appeared on Gu Changsheng's face.
He felt the barrier to the Myriad Laws Realm within his body making cracking sounds; this Immortal Dao power was so formidable that it refined his Foundation in an instant.
"Is this the power of the Immortal Dao?"
Gu Changsheng laughed loudly, intense greed swirling in his eyes as he looked up at the Immortal Dao Origin filling the sky: "Again!"
More immortal mist was pulled in frantically; the scene was utterly shocking.
The entire emperor aura immortal stele actually began to tremble slightly.
The commotion was too great; An Junru's internal Cultivation Technique was actually disrupted, and she could no longer establish a connection with the Dao patterns; all the energy of heaven and earth was being forcibly plundered by this man!
"Just what kind of method are you practicing?" An Junru gritted her teeth, her eyes full of confusion.
She had never heard of or seen such a technique that plundered the providence of heaven and earth.
Gu Changsheng's eyes were slightly closed, and the gray tornado forming around him directly shredded the Void Realm; he said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, watch closely; this is what true cultivation looks like!"
As his voice fell, he struck again, using both hands.
As his Heavy Pupils opened and closed, two pillars of Chaos divine light instantly locked onto two fleeing wisps of Immortal Qi.
Those two milky-white wisps scrambled in terror as if meeting their nemesis, but they couldn't avoid the lock of the divine light at all.
Gu Changsheng raised his hand, and the Chaos Divine Fire transformed into two giant nets, casting down from the air: "Collect!"
The air exploded, and the two wisps of Immortal Qi were forcibly dragged back and stuffed into his abdomen.
Gu Changsheng's body trembled violently, and fine lightning and fire appeared on the surface of his skin, but his Aura was climbing frantically; his body was covered in ten thousand zhang of golden light, extremely dazzling.
His Divine Soul was undergoing a qualitative change under the washing of the Immortal Qi; those previously obscure and difficult-to-understand Laws of heaven and earth now became straightforward and clear.
The Taixu spiritual power in his body was also being stained bit by bit with a faint pure white, becoming increasingly pure and domineering.
"So that's how it is; merging the immortal into the mortal is the path to the ultimate strength!" Gu Changsheng snapped his eyes open, two arcs of electricity that pierced through time and space shooting from his Heavy Pupils, his spirit soaring.
"He's an absolute madman." An Junru sighed softly, but she also sat down cross-legged, the immortal light around her body flaring up.
Driven by Gu Changsheng's domineering Aura, she was not to be outdone and pushed her Cultivation Technique to the limit, competing for the remaining Dao patterns and Immortal Qi.
Beneath the emperor aura immortal stele, the two of them set off a world-shaking tide of plunder.
