Chapter 122: with translation of chapter title

Yuan'er, what's wrong?

Gu Lin Tian's voice sounded in his ear, carrying a hint of concern.

Although he had just been speaking with Gu Xuan Ce, his divine sense had been locked onto his son, so he naturally noticed that moment's abnormality.

He saw a wisp of gray mist that even he could not completely block drill into his son's body, frightening him to the point of almost immediately unleashing the Chaos Immortal Bell.

But soon after, he discovered his son was not only unharmed,

but his aura had actually solidified a bit, which he forcibly suppressed.

Father, I'm fine.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, suppressed the joy in his heart, and put on a look of lingering fear on his face,

"I accidentally got a bit of that thing on me just now; lucky I was, otherwise I almost couldn't hold onto my Dao heart."

He didn't dare say he had taken that thing as a tonic.

Otherwise his old father would probably have packed him up on the spot and sent him back to the immortal realm, never to let him out again.

"It's fine as long as it's nothing serious."

Gu Lin Tian let out a breath, then felt a bit self-reproachful: "It's my fault for being careless; this place is too dangerous, I shouldn't have brought you here."

"Father, what are you saying?"

Gu Yuan hurriedly said, "If it weren't for your protection, I wouldn't even have the right to stand here, and since we've come, we can't return empty-handed, can we?"

While saying that, he quietly circulated his technique, carefully drawing a slightly thicker wisp of gray mist from the Immortal King's wound.

The World Tree sapling swayed its branches and leaves happily, as if seeing its favorite snack.

Before the mist could approach, it actively extended its roots, entangling, dragging, decomposing, and absorbing it.

After a long while.

Another drop of golden liquid fell onto the chaos singularity.

Boom!

His soul was refined again, that clear and refreshing feeling making Gu Yuan almost moan with pleasure.

Refreshing! So refreshing!

This is faster than consuming any heavenly treasure!

"Patriarch, Young Master, I've finished the survey."

Just then, Gu Xuan Ce flew back, his face still pale but his eyes shining astonishingly, full of excitement.

"The situation is more complicated than I imagined, but also more feasible than I thought!"

He spread his hand, and a three-dimensional star map made of countless light points appeared in his palm.

"This node looks like a point, but actually connects countless shattered spaces, like a wound that keeps bleeding, radiating its power to the whole world."

"My initial idea is to use the 3,600 World-Stabilizing Steles as a foundation, lay down the Zhou Tian Star-Dou Sealing Gods Great Array, and completely seal off this region."

"Then, using the 108 Divine Needles of Calming the Sea as guides, construct the Reverse Yin-Yang Refining Demons Array to guide, gather, and purify the Immortal King's contaminating power that leaks out, finally storing it in the array's eye."

Gu Xuan Ce spoke more excitedly, saliva flying.

Hearing Gu Xuan Ce's grand blueprint, Gu Lin Tian also felt his blood surge.

"This idea basically matches my own thoughts, and is even more far-reaching than I imagined."

"Good! Xuan Ce, list whatever materials you need; even if I have to empty the heavenly court's treasury, I'll get them all!" Gu Lin Tian declared heroically.

"Father, Uncle Xuan Ce, you go ahead and get busy."

Gu Yuan's eyes rolled as a plan formed: "I feel the laws here are quite special; I want to contemplate them here—maybe it'll benefit my cultivation."

He needed an excuse to stay here and keep consuming the tonic.

"Nonsense!" Gu Lin Tian refused without thinking: "This place is too dangerous; there will be plenty of chances to contemplate later."

"Father, look."

Gu Yuan's thoughts stirred, and a wisp of Immortal King Dao resonance that had just been refined but not fully absorbed drifted from his fingertips.

"This is..."

Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xuan Ce's faces changed at the same time.

They clearly felt that the wisp contained a supreme divine resonance surpassing even the Heavenly Emperor's laws!

"This is a strand of Dao resonance I happened to comprehend while resisting that contamination just now."

Gu Yuan began to speak solemnly while spouting nonsense: "I feel that if given enough time, I might be able to comprehend a complete Immortal King law from this contamination."

As soon as he said that, Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xuan Ce fell silent.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock in the other's eyes.

Comprehending an Immortal King law from Immortal King contamination?

What an heaven-defying comprehension!

Ordinary people wouldn't even manage to comprehend it; just not being driven mad would be good enough.

But since it happened to Gu Yuan, they felt... it actually wasn't so hard to accept.

After all, he is the Gu family's qilin child, a once-in-an-age monster!

"Good."

Gu Lin Tian pondered for a long time, then finally nodded and agreed,

"But you must not leave a hundred-zhang radius around me."

"I understand, Father!" Gu Yuan rejoiced inwardly.

Plan succeeded!

Gu Lin Tian gave his son a deep look, then said to Gu Xuan Ce:

"Xuan Ce, keep improving the array diagram; I will stand guard here for you and Yuan'er."

"Yes, Master!"

Gu Xuan Ce nodded and threw himself back into the tense surveying work.

Gu Yuan, however, sat cross‑legged, closed his eyes, and pretended to be in deep meditation.

In fact, his mind had already fully sunk into his dantian.

Come on!

Let the storm come even more violently!

He cast aside his fear, and his divine thought reached out like a tentacle, drawing in several strands of gray mist at once.

The World Tree sapling seemed invigorated, bursting with multicolored radiance, countless roots wildly swaying, completely enveloping the gray mist.

One drop, two drops, three drops…

The golden liquid, like raindrops, continuously fell onto the chaotic singularity.

Gu Yuan's spirit, in each round of refinement.

Grew rapidly at an incomprehensible speed.

Just as he was immersed in the thrill of this rapid strengthening,

Suddenly, before his eyes, it was no longer merely energy refinement.

As an especially thick strand of gray mist was refined, a vast, boundless scroll slowly unfolded within his sea of consciousness.

It was an endless starry sky.

In the starry sky, countless bright and dim beams crisscrossed, interlinking to form an invisible massive net that covered the entire universe.

Each beam represented a complete Dao!

The Path of Flame, the Path of Ice, the Path of Life, the Path of Death…

Three thousand great Dao, eighty‑four thousand minor paths, all within it!

And now he, from a god's perspective, looked down upon this massive net woven from myriad Dao.

He could even see clearly how each great Dao operated, how it intertwined with other Dao, ultimately forming the underlying logic of this world.

In this moment, Gu Yuan's spirit was blessed.

He understood.

This is not an illusion.

It is the three thousand great Dao that he, at the stature of that immortal king who left a polluted will, has glimpsed!
