Chapter 10: True Immortal Foundation Establishment, Unrivaled Through the Ages!

As the Old Ancestor gave an order, the elders inside the Supreme Hall,

Brimming with shock and excitement, they promptly obeyed and departed.

The entire Gu Family, this ancient war machine that had lain dormant for hundreds of thousands of years,

began to operate with terrifying efficiency, frenziedly turning.

Order after order issued from the Supreme Hall, reaching every corner of God Island.

Countless clan members in seclusion were awakened, countless experts out traveling were summoned back.

The gates of the family treasury flung open, vast amounts of divine metal, immortal materials, spirit pills, and precious medicines,

were shipped out like a tide, preferentially supplied to the artifact refiners and formation masters responsible for building the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Gate.

In the camps of the three legions—Heaven Halberd, Divine Martial, and Breaking Army—war drums beat and killing intent shot to the heavens.

Countless armored war cultivators gathered on the training field, their cold weapons gleaming with a bloodthirsty light under the sun.

The entire Gu Family God Island,

was shrouded in an atmosphere of solemn lethality and fervent zeal.

The wind fills the tower as the mountain rain approaches!

And the architect of all this, Gu Yuan at the heart of the storm,

was now being taken by his True Immortal Grandfather to a place no one could have imagined.

The Gu Family Forbidden Land,

the inner universe where the Bronze Immortal Coffin resides.

When Gu Yuan once again came under this vast starry sky,

his mood was completely different from before.

"Grandfather, are we establishing our foundation here?" Gu Yuan curiously surveyed his surroundings.

This inner universe manifests the Great Dao's laws, immortal Dao aura thick to the extreme, indeed a supreme treasure ground for cultivation.

"Hehe, certainly not here."

The Old Ancestor's gaunt figure,

had already appeared beside Gu Yuan at some point.

He pointed to the bronze ancient coffin floating at the center of the cosmos.

"Go there."

"Huh? Go... go inside the coffin?" Gu Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding?"

"Although I know you, old man, aren't bound by trifles, but this is, after all, your... resting place, right?"

"If I cultivate my foundation in your coffin, and this gets out, do I still want to be a person?"

"Other immortal second-generations establish their foundations in blessed caverns and holy mountain divine springs."

"As for me, I conveniently skip straight to the point—entering the coffin."

"\"What? Not willing again? \" the Old Ancestor gave him a sideways glance."

"\"Willing, willing! Of course I'm willing! \" Gu Yuan immediately shook his head like a rattle drum."

"Just kidding, this is a True Immortal's immortal coffin!"

"Inside there must surely be another world!"

"\"Smart kid, \" the Old Ancestor nodded satisfactorily."

With a wave of his hand, the lid of the Bronze Immortal Coffin slid open silently.

Gu Yuan craned his neck to look inside, seeing only that the coffin was not empty but filled with chaos.

Grayish chaotic qi surged within, rising and falling as if heaven and earth were being created.

In the deepest part of the chaotic qi,

Faintly, there was an azure lotus platform no more than three feet square, slowly rotating and emitting a refreshing fragrance.

"\"This is... \""

Gu Yuan's eyes instantly glazed over.

Although he didn't recognize it, he could feel that the azure lotus platform was definitely a heaven-defying treasure!

Just a single glance made his soul and spirit feel as if they were about to be cleansed.

"\"This is the lotus platform of the Chaotic Azure Lotus, existing since the dawn of creation. \""

The Old Ancestor's voice came slowly, carrying a hint of nostalgia.

"\"Back when I attained immortality through proving the Dao, while wandering the Chaotic Sea, I chanced upon it and, after expending the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, finally obtained it. \""

"\"These countless years, I have lain upon this platform, nurturing my immortal body with chaotic qi, merely to slow the loss of vitality. \""

"The lotus platform of the Chaotic Azure Lotus!"

"A supreme treasure from the dawn of creation!"

Gu Yuan felt his breath cease.

Something that exists only in myth and legend actually does exist, and right before his eyes!

"\"Grandfather, this... this is far too precious! \"

Gu Yuan's voice trembled slightly.

"Using such a treasure for foundation establishment—isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

"\"Precious? \""

The Old Ancestor snorted,

"\"No matter how precious something is, if it cannot be put to use, it's merely a dead object. It has lain with my old bones here for countless thousands of years, nearly moldy; today, using it on you is also a way to not waste its fame. \"

Go, sit on the lotus platform.

"Yes, Grandfather!" Gu Yuan no longer acted pretentiously.

He took a deep breath, leapt forward, and jumped into the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

Upon entering, he was enveloped by a thick, almost tangible chaotic qi flow.

These chaotic qi, each strand as heavy as a mountain.

If it were an ordinary mortal, they would surely be crushed to powder in an instant.

But Gu Yuan possessed an immortal body of longevity; his flesh far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Moreover, over the years he had bathed in supreme blood, making his foundation extraordinarily solid.

He merely felt his body sink slightly, then adapted.

He pushed aside the chaotic qi and walked step by step toward that green lotus platform.

The closer he got, the stronger the refreshing fragrance that penetrated heart and spleen became.

He felt his whole body, every pore expanding, greedily absorbing this aura.

Finally, he arrived before the lotus platform.

He imitated the Old Ancestor, sitting cross-legged upon it.

Hum—

The instant he sat on the lotus platform, the entire platform shuddered violently, bursting forth with countless rays of green divine light.

An indescribable profound Dao rhythm instantly enveloped him.

Gu Yuan only felt his soul seemingly detach from his flesh in an instant,

arriving in the chaos before heaven and earth were split.

Here, there is no time, no space, no up, down, left, or right.

Only the most primal, pure Dao remains.

"Today, I will use chaos as the furnace and immortal fire as the hammer to reforge your immortal foundation and recreate your Dao body."

The Old Ancestor's grand voice echoed in his mind.

The next moment, endless chaotic qi surged wildly toward Gu Yuan's body!

Boom!

Gu Yuan only felt as if his body were about to burst open!

Those chaotic qi, overbearing beyond compare, rushed into his limbs and bones,

meridians and acupoints, frenziedly scouring and remaking everything about him!

Excruciating pain!

Unimaginable excruciating pain instantly swept over his entire body!

Gu Yuan felt his bones as if being ground inch by inch, then reassembled.

His flesh continually melted away and continually regenerated.

His meridians were torn apart time and again, then widened and reinforced each time.

Ah—!

Even with Gu Yuan's disposition, he couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

This was ten thousand times more painful than he had imagined!

This isn't foundation building; it's clearly remelting and reforging him!

Endure!

"The path of cultivation is fundamentally to go against heaven, to contend with heaven, with earth, and with oneself!"

"If you can't even endure this bit of pain, what's there to talk about transcending the Great Dao?"

The Old Ancestor's voice struck like a heavy hammer on Gu Yuan's heart.

Gu Yuan bit his tongue hard; the intense pain made him instantly regain a bit of clarity.

"Your disposition is not bad."

The Old Ancestor's withered finger lightly tapped in the void.

A strand of flame jumping with seven-colored light,

appeared out of thin air and fell into the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

Immortal fire!

This is the primal fire that only a true immortal can command, capable of burning all things and also creating life!

As soon as the immortal fire entered the chaos, it surged explosively, turning into a sea of fire that completely engulfed Gu Yuan and the lotus platform!

Zi—la—

Chaotic qi as fuel, immortal fire as hammer!

Gu Yuan's body, under the tempering of the immortal fire, began to emit brilliant light.

The impurities within his body were gradually refined away.

His blood, from bright red, slowly turned a pale gold,

each drop seeming to contain the power of a star.

And at the position of his dantian, the place where all cultivators begin their practice,

a massive vortex formed from intertwining chaotic qi and immortal fire was slowly taking shape.

Blood Moving Realm!

The first realm of cultivation for a cultivator is to temper the essence blood of the whole body and condense vital divine light.

Ordinary geniuses who can condense thousands of strands of divine light can be called heaven-chosen prodigies.

Top-tier evildoers, like those imperial sons and saintesses, at most condense over ten thousand strands.

And according to the cultivation method's records, the theoretical limit of this realm is to condense one hundred eight thousand strands of life divine radiance, after which the flesh becomes saintly, invulnerable to all laws!

But that is merely theory!

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever achieved it!

And today, this myth is about to be shattered on Gu Yuan!

Within his dantian vortex, strands of golden divine radiance begin to continuously condense and be born!

Ten thousand strands!

Thirty thousand strands!

Fifty thousand strands!

……

One hundred eight thousand strands!

At the moment the number of divine radiance reached the theoretical limit, the entire inner universe trembled!

Myriad strands resonated, laws manifested, as if celebrating the birth of a miracle!

However, this wasn't over yet!

That vortex continued to spin wildly, the golden divine radiance continually being born!

One hundred ten thousand strands!

One hundred fifty thousand strands!

Two hundred thousand strands!

……

The old ancestor watched this scene, their face showing shock.

"This… this brat, what monster exactly is he?"

He originally thought that, using the Chaotic Azure Lotus Platform and Immortal Fire to lay Gu Yuan's foundation, at most it would allow him to reach the theoretical limit of one hundred eight thousand strands.

But he never imagined that Gu Yuan's potential would far exceed his imagination!

This Immortal Longevity Body, combined with the Chaotic Azure Lotus Platform,

actually produced some kind of inconceivable chemical reaction!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The old ancestor was not frightened but delighted, laughing loudly to the heavens.

"Worthy of being the auspicious omen of my Gu Family! Worthy of being a great fortune-bearer born with the times!"

"If that's the case, then I, old man, will today lend you a hand!"

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a drop of liquid as bright red as a blood diamond.

True Immortal Essence Blood!

This is where the essence of his entire cultivation lies,

A single drop is enough to collapse a starfield!

"Go!"

He flicked his finger, and that drop of True Immortal Essence Blood turned into a strand of blood light, instantly sinking into Gu Yuan's glabella!

Boom——!!!

Gu Yuan's body, like a sun into which a nuclear bomb had been thrown, instantly burst forth with light of hundreds of millions of feet!

The number of divine radiance in his dantian began to increase wildly in an explosive manner!

Three hundred thousand!

Five hundred thousand!

Eight hundred thousand!

One million!

When the number of divine radiance finally settled at one million strands,

All the divine radiance suddenly contracted inward,

Condensing into a…… golden deity!

That deity sat cross-legged at the vortex's center, with a solemn and dignified appearance, its visage identical to Gu Yuan's!

Unrivaled throughout the ages!

Blood Moving Realm, condensing a million strands of divine radiance, giving birth to a natal divine deity!

This is no longer just breaking a myth; it is creating an entirely new myth!

A myth unprecedented in history, and likely never to be seen again!

The old ancestor watched this scene, trembling all over with excitement.

He knew that he, with his own hands, had created for the Gu Family a true…… monster!
