Chapter 159: Information on the Path to Immortality?

Burial Emperor Star Domain, all sounds ceased.

The Primordial Ancient Mine was leveled, Blood Phoenix Mountain emptied, the Immortal Mausoleum turned into a big pit, the Netherworld led its remnants fleeing into the void like a bereaved dog, and the Divine Ruins were uprooted and pinched into a ball.

Of the Nine Great Life Forbidden Zones, five were gone in a single day.

This is not pacifying turmoil; this is clearly a dimensional strike.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the ancient bronze coffin, holding a specially made jade ledger, tallying the spoils.

He was focused, his fingertips flying over the jade ledger, murmuring to himself, like a meticulous miser.

"Primordial Ancient Mine, harvest: three hundred thousand catties of Ultimate Dao Divine Gold, one stalk of Immortal Divine Medicine, seventeen clusters of Great Emperor Origin……"

"Blood Phoenix Mountain, three portions of Phoenix Nirvana Soil, some Blood Phoenix Stone, thirteen clusters of Great Emperor Origin……"

"This Immortal Mausoleum haul is the fattest; although a few cores ran away, the remaining scraps add up to over twenty clusters of origin, plus a bronze armor plate dropped by the Netherworld Immortal Corpse, possibly stained with True Immortal Blood."

Gu Yuan grew more spirited the more he calculated, the light in his eyes brighter than the stars above.

"Grandfather," Gu Yuan closed the jade ledger, looking solemnly at Gu Cangsheng, "Roughly tallying, just the Great Emperor Origin of medium-or-higher completeness gives fifty-six clusters; adding the damaged ones that didn't fully self-destruct, we now hold the lifelong cultivation of nearly eighty Supremes."

Eighty Supremes!

Although considering the loss after purification,

but it still equates to over twenty complete Great Emperor Origins!

Only a Saint-level powerhouse with half a foot in the 18th Realm needs to take it.

Enough to forge thirty to forty Supreme powerhouses!

What does that mean?

You know, even for a colossus like the Gu Family, pulling out dozens of Supremes worth of combat power at once would strain its bones.

But here in the Burial Emperor Star Domain, just touring the scenic spots yields this reserve.

Although these so-called Great Emperors have much watered-down power and incomplete laws, they are ultimately still 18th Realm!

Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, using them to nourish the World Tree sapling would be top‑grade sustenance.

Moreover, he knows the System's rewards are based on how many Emperor‑realm foes he slays!

Those rewards are the original, intact Great Emperor Origin!

That works out to dozens more Supremes!

Now Gu Yuan only needs to consider whether the Gu Family actually has that many Saint‑realm cultivators!

Gu Cangsheng stood with his hands behind his back in the void, listening to his grandson's report, his face showing little disturbance.

His gaze swept over this shattered universe, as if looking at a field about to be abandoned.

"The quantity is not small, but the quality is too poor."

Gu Cangsheng shook his head, his tone tinged with disdain: "Those so‑called Imperial Dao Supremes, just to survive, have cultivated themselves into neither human nor ghost; their Dao has long gone astray. Only that Netherworld Immortal Corpse is somewhat interesting, a pity it fled so fast, and moreover… there is a strange smell about it."

"A strange smell?"

"Yes, it's just like… the smell you and Lintian picked up in the Twilight Divine Realm, Yuan'er."

Gu Yuan heard this and blinked slightly.

The Twilight Divine Realm and this Burial Emperor Star Domain have nothing to do with each other.

At most, they have a slight connection due to the System Teleportation Gate.

The same?

The first thing that came to his mind was that black‑robed person.

Clearly not an entity of the Twilight Divine Realm.

Could it be that the Immortal Corpse just now and that black‑robed person are of the same kind, or even the same faction?

Just as Gu Yuan was about to speak, Gu Cangsheng's voice sounded faintly: "Let's not talk about that; how are the remaining forbidden zones?"

Gu Yuan heard that, gathered his thoughts, spread out the star map, and saw that the information—or rather the red dots—had all disappeared.

Gu Yuan's heart stirred; he called out to the System in his mind: "System, what's going on? Has the positioning failed?"

{Detected……data link severed……under repair……}

The System's voice rarely carried a hint of stutter, as if suffering some interference.

{Host, this System's real‑time tracking function was forcibly severed by an unknown power when the Netherworld Immortal Corpse shattered the void……currently rebuilding the connection……estimated time needed……}

Gu Yuan silently cursed the System for being useless, unable even to handle a tracking function.

{……}

The System fell silent for a moment, its cold mechanical tone actually hinting at a hint of grievance.

Beside him, Gu Cangsheng seemed to notice something, glanced at Gu Yuan, and wore an expression of as‑expected.

"Can't sense the position?"

"That's how it is, Grandfather." Gu Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.

Gu Cangsheng gave a cold snort, his gaze piercing billions of miles of void to land on the direction of the former Undying Mountain.

"When that Netherworld Immortal Corpse fled, it cut off my perception; its method indeed has some tricks."

"Grandfather, what about the remaining forbidden zones?"

"Anyway, after this battle the threat of forbidden zones in this realm is greatly reduced; they can run but the temple stays, they'll come out eventually, no rush."

Gu Yuan nodded, then as if suddenly remembering: "Oh, right, Grandfather, there's also this."

Saying this, he pulled a broken stone tablet from his storage ring and pointed at the ground beneath him, already reduced to ruins of the Immortal Mausoleum.

"Just now, when that old thing in the Netherworld smashed the void, I felt a very special aura."

This stone tablet flew out from the deepest underground palace when the Immortal Mausoleum collapsed.

It is stained with black blood, carved with ancient immortal script; though most has worn away, the remaining characters exude an airy, ancient aura surpassing even the Great Emperor.

Gu Yuan instantly saw that this treasure was fated for him, and at once stored it away.

Gu Cangsheng's gaze fell on the stone tablet, his pupils contracting slightly.

"Become immortal..."

He softly read out the two remaining words on the stone tablet.

"That's right, the Path to Immortality."

Gu Yuan's eyes flashed with sharp light, then he spoke the system's intelligence: "This star field has so many supremes cutting themselves off with a single blow, even if they become monsters they cling to life, all to wait for an opportunity."

"An opportunity leading to the immortal realm, allowing true immortality—the opening of the Path to Immortality."

"But this immortal realm seems not to be our Primeval Immortal Realm; it should be another realm of the same level."

Gu Yuan stood up, pointing toward a certain direction of the Burial Emperor Star Field.

According to the records on this stone tablet, and the divine sense fragments scattered before death by those old fellows just now, the node of this lifetime's Path to Immortality lies near the Ancient Forbidden Zone.

Gu Cangsheng, upon hearing this, finally showed a hint of interest on his face.

He came to this world; aside from accompanying his grandson on vacation to harvest resources, his greatest purpose is to find an opportunity to break through to the Immortal King.

Although he is now a half-step Immortal King, his flesh is immortal.

But he is still only a thin sheet of paper away from the true Immortal King position.

Although the laws of this world are incomplete, it is precisely because of this incompleteness that the yearning for completeness becomes extreme.

The Path to Immortality may be the ultimate product evolved by the will of this heaven and earth to make up for its own deficiency.

"Somewhat interesting."

Gu Cangsheng stroked his beard and said, "Since the road is about to open, let's give it a hand."

"Help?"
