Chapter 124: Immortal King artifact? I have one!

Time flew by quickly in this strange yet efficient feeding and nourishing.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During that half month, Gu Xuan Ce flew around the Immortal King's wound like an indefatigable madman, completing tens of thousands of circles.

His eyes were bloodshot, his formerly refined appearance completely gone.

His hair was a mess like a chicken coop, and he kept muttering incomprehensible array terminology.

"Wrong, wrong, the spatial node here is alive; the Heaven-Earth Lock can't contain it, we must use the Grand Void Guide to channel it…"

"Damn it, the law discontinuity here is too severe; ordinary array foundations can't bear it, unless… we use that Chaos Divine Stone from the ancestor's study as the main base!"

"Also here, the causality lines are too tangled; to isolate them we need an Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, or even an Immortal King artifact surpassing ordinary Immortal artifacts to suppress…"

He sometimes shook his head, sometimes beat his chest and stamped his feet, and sometimes, as if he'd hit upon a brilliant idea, he waved his arms and legs, laughing loudly.

Gu Yuan watched from the side, breaking into a sweat for him.

He seriously doubted whether, if this continued, Uncle Xuan Ce would become over-excited, destabilizing his Dao heart and suffering deviation.

Finally, on the morning of the sixteenth day.

Gu Xuan Ce returned, sporting two huge dark circles, looking exhausted yet overexcited.

"Family Head! It's done! It's done!"

He excitedly rushed to Gu Lin Tian's front and handed over a jade slip.

"This is the draft diagram of the Heavenly Stars Sealing Gods Great Array I initially worked out, plus the complete list of required materials, version 208—please review!"

Gu Lin Tian took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

In the next instant, even with his True Immortal mindset, his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.

Within the jade slip, tens of thousands of rare materials were densely listed.

Each one, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to provoke countless Dao orthodoxies into frenzied competition.

The few primary materials listed at the top made Gu Lin Tian's eyelids twitch.

"Main array base: nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Chaos Divine Stones."

"Main array eye: ten thousand catties each of Innate Five Elements Essence."

"Suppression core: one Immortal King artifact."

"Auxiliary materials: Nine Heavens Vital Earth, Stellar Core, Void Divine Gold, World Tree trunk and branches…"

Let alone anything else, just those nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Chaos Divine Stones would require dipping into the ancestor's secret treasury.

And that Immortal King artifact…

It's basically nowhere to be found!

Unless… we suppress it with the Chaos Immortal Bell.

Then the cost would be the ancestor emerging from seclusion, and me getting beaten half to death by him!

"Xuan Ce, you're… trying to kill me."

Gu Lin Tian gave a wry smile and shook his head; although it pained him, it wasn't impossible to produce.

"As for the materials, the rest is easy to discuss, but that Immortal King artifact… even our Gu Family would find it difficult."

"Is there no alternative?"

"Well…"

Gu Xuan Ce frowned: "The power source left behind by an Immortal King, if not met with equal force, requires a True Immortal to hold the fort, or else ten complete Immortal artifacts."

No matter which plan, realizing it isn't that easy.

This made Gu Xuan Ce unable to stop his headache.

Could it be… we really have to suppress it with the Chaos Immortal Bell?

……

Elsewhere.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, ending this round of nourishment.

Over the past half month, he could no longer recall how much Immortal King contamination he had consumed.

He only felt that his soul strength had increased more than tenfold compared to half a month ago.

Now he could barely manage to attach his divine sense to two different Great Daos at once to steal techniques.

This rate of progress could be called terrifying.

At that moment, he happened to overhear his father and Uncle Xuan Ce's conversation, and inwardly he was stunned.

Immortal King artifact?

This thing, there isn't even one in the entire Primeval Immortal Realm, is there?

That is a supreme treasure only an Immortal King can refine; each possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Looking at his father's solemn expression.

Gu Yuan knew this matter was probably truly difficult.

Although his father spoke boldly about mobilizing the whole Immortal Court's strength.

But an Immortal King artifact isn't something you can just scrape together by numbers.

It seems, this breeding farm plan.

Hasn't even started, yet it's already stuck at the first step?

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Wait a moment.

Immortal King artifact!

I happen to have one!

【Ding! Detected that the main quest in the Twilight God Realm has been completed.】

【Main Quest 1: Survive thirty days in the Twilight God Realm completed.】

【Main Quest 2: Slay an ancient god completed.】

【Ultimate Quest: Purify the Twilight God Realm. End the war of the gods completed.】

【Distributing quest rewards……】

【Reward: 'Primordial Key' has been issued to the system space!】

【Reward: 'Mother God Divinity' has been issued to the system space!】

【Reward: 'Complete Immortal King Scripture (specifiable)' and 'Immortal King Shroud' have been issued to the system space!】

Surviving thirty days is also completed?

Indeed.

After all, the entire Twilight God Realm has been cleared.

Whether one survives or not is just a number.

As for those Primordial Keys? Mother God Divinity? Complete Immortal King Scripture (specifiable)?

These things sound awesome, but now is not the time to study them.

Gu Yuan forcibly suppressed the smile on his face, striving to look calmer.

Cannot laugh, absolutely cannot laugh.

"Cough cough."

Gu Yuan cleared his throat, pretending to have just awakened from meditation, and stood up.

"Dad, Uncle Xuan Ce, what are you talking about? So seriously."

Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xuan Ce were worrying about the materials; seeing Gu Yuan wake up, Gu Lin Tian casually said:

"Nothing, just some trivial matters about the Great Array."

He didn't want his son to worry about such things.

"Oh, is it that the materials are insufficient?"

Gu Yuan feigned curiosity and asked, "I seemed to hear you mention an Immortal King Artifact just now."

Gu Xuan Ce gave a wry smile: "Young Master, you don't know, this Zhou Tian Star Dou Sealing God Great Array is no trivial matter; to completely suppress the Immortal King contamination here, we must have an Immortal King Artifact as the array's core, otherwise it's all empty talk."

"Immortal King Artifact…… is it hard to find?"

Gu Yuan stroked his chin, putting on a thoughtful expression,

"Not just hard; I'm afraid there aren't even a few in the entire Primeval Immortal Realm……"

He hadn't finished speaking when Gu Yuan suddenly spoke up.

"Dad, Uncle Xuan Ce, I happen to have one."

Saying this, Gu Yuan reached out his hand.

In his palm, a flash of light.

A piece of gray cloth that looked ordinary and even somewhat worn appeared out of thin air.

The cloth, woven of unknown material, was stained with some dried dark-gold blood, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

Besides that, there was nothing else unusual.

It was like a burial shroud dug out from some ancient tomb.

"Yuan'er, what is this…?" Gu Lin Tian said, somewhat puzzled.

At a time like this, why would his son produce such a piece of torn cloth?

Gu Xuan Ce also looked bewildered.

However, the next moment.

When Gu Yuan infused a wisp of weak immortal power into the cloth,

Hum—

An indescribably terrifying pressure erupted from the tattered cloth!

"Immortal…… Immortal King Artifact!"

Gu Lin Tian's voice was trembling.

He could be absolutely certain that this is definitely an Immortal King Artifact!

Moreover, it's not an ordinary Immortal King Artifact!

The lingering dark-gold blood on it, and the aura of burying an era,

all indicate that this cloth once wrapped a true Immortal King!

This damn thing is an Immortal King's burial shroud!

"Yuan'er, you… where did you get this thing?"

Gu Lin Tian felt his throat drying up.

"Oh, this thing."

Gu Yuan scratched his head, revealing a familiar, honest smile tinged with a bit of embarrassment.

"Just now, wasn't I meditating on that Immortal King contamination? As I meditated, I felt a connection with something, and then it came flying over on its own."
