Chapter 172: Chaos Spirit Stone, Refining a Small Immortal Domain?

Grandfather, do you recognize this object?

Gu Yuan gazed at his grandfather's look, as if he wanted to gouge out his eyeballs and stick them on the stone, and asked curiously.

You brat!

Gu Cangsheng stroked his beard and glared, then knocked on Gu Yuan's head in annoyance, 'Do you think your grandfather's half-step Immortal King status is fake? Take a good look!'

Although he said that, his eyes couldn't leave the Chaos Spirit Stone fragment for a moment.

Gu Lin Tian, Gu Linjiang, and the others around them couldn't tell the stone's exact origin, but seeing the ancestor so flustered, even a fool could tell its value likely surpasses even the Path to Immortality!

My heavens!

More precious than the Path to Immortality?

What level of treasure is this?

Everyone unconsciously held their breath, not daring to inhale, afraid to disturb this historic moment.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips and reluctantly handed over the Chaos Spirit Stone fragment.

'This item is called a Chaos Spirit Stone fragment, and it is also my grandson's constitution...'

He hadn't finished speaking when Gu Cangsheng cut him off: 'Enough, from now on just say something else; no need to keep using the excuse that your constitution attracted it.'

Gu Cangsheng gave him an annoyed glance, then turned to the curious crowd and said lightly:

'This object is called a Chaos Spirit Stone; its function is simple: it is the creation cornerstone that evolves a perfect great world, turning the illusory into the real.'

Creation Cornerstone!

Perfect Great World!

As soon as these nine words were spoken, Gu Lin Tian felt his head buzz, as if struck hard by a Chaos Immortal Bell, leaving him dazed.

As a True Immortal, he knows better than anyone the weight of those two words, 'world'.

Cultivators train, from low-level body refining to opening apertures, to high-level evolution domains; essentially they are simulating a small heaven and earth within themselves.

Upon reaching True Immortal or Immortal King, one must further merge their own Dao with the entire universe, able to stir the heavenly and earthly might of a world with a mere gesture.

But that is ultimately borrowed.

But creation is an entirely different concept!

It is, within the body, truly opening up an independent world beyond the myriad realms, possessing complete Dao laws, capable of evolving life on its own, even giving birth to a heavenly Dao will... a world!

Such means exist only in the most ancient myths and legends!

It is said that only by surpassing the Immortal King and standing at the pinnacle of cultivation as an Immortal Emperor can one qualify to attempt it!

And now, the stone that Gu Yuan has brought out is actually the cornerstone for opening up a perfect great world?

Good... good... good!

Gu Cangsheng cradled the fragment, turning it over and over for a long time, finally unable to restrain himself from laughing loudly to the heavens, his voice filled with boundless relief and heroic fervor.

'I've always said, my Gu Cangsheng's grandson could never be mere pond-dwellers! What Immortal King, what Emperor! Before my grandson, they are all passing clouds!'

'With this item, the future of my Gu Family will surely give birth to an Immortal Emperor!'

The ancestor's heroic spirit soared, his words making everyone's blood boil.

Gu Yuan saw his grandfather so pleased, and his heart felt sweetly satisfied.

It was worth his taking out this treasure hidden at the bottom of the chest.

'Grandfather, this thing is good, but having only the cornerstone isn't enough.'

Gu Yuan timely poured a bucket of cold water: 'Building a house with only a foundation, lacking bricks, mortar, and cement, is just a pit.'

'Oh?' Gu Cangsheng's laughter ceased at the words, his gaze sharp as he looked at Gu Yuan, 'You brat, what wicked scheme do you have now?'

Hehe.

Gu Yuan rubbed his hands, pointing at the broken Immortal Domain fragment beneath his feet, then at himself.

'Grandfather, look—although this place is somewhat damaged and ruined, it is still an Immortal Domain fragment, its foundation remains. Here there are incomplete Immortal Dao laws, vast boundless land, and countless immortal gold divine materials...'

'You say, if we were to refine this entire place... and fill it into the foundation of my dantian, what would happen?'

Gu Yuan's voice was not loud, but each word struck like a heavy hammer, slamming hard into everyone's hearts.

Refine... an entire Immortal Domain fragment?!

As soon as this idea arose, everyone was frightened stupid.

Even Gu Cangsheng, who had just been full of heroic fervor, stood frozen in place, mouth slightly agape, unable to close it for a long while.

Crazy!

This kid is absolutely crazy!

'Yuan'er, you... do you even know what you're saying?!'

Gu Lin Tian was the first to react, his voice changing tone.

'That's an entire world! Although it's broken, its size is huge and its laws weighty; not to mention you, even if I and your grandfather joined forces, we could hardly move it, let alone refine it into your body!'

Gu Lin Tian's reaction voiced the feelings of everyone present.

'Dad, don't get worked up.'

Gu Yuan looked at his father's flushed, anxious face and hurriedly soothed, '

I'm just saying this, throwing out an idea to cast a brick to attract jade.'

'That's not casting a brick to attract jade; that's seeking your own death!'

Gu Lin Tian was truly anxious.

He truly feared his precious son would be stubborn.

But fortunately, he and his father are here, they will stop...

However, at that moment, Gu Cangsheng's deep eyes suddenly shot out two terrifying beams of light!

He did not look at Gu Yuan, nor pay attention to Gu Lin Tian.

Instead, he jerked his head upward, his gaze seeming to pierce the shattered world's barriers, seeing the endless chaotic void.

His breathing grew heavy at that moment.

"Yeah…"

"How could I have missed that?"

"Refine… refine a 'Path to Immortality' from here…"

"Ha ha… ha ha ha! Brilliant! Brilliant! It's just too brilliant!"

Gu Cangsheng suddenly burst into loud laughter, louder and wilder than ever before, shaking the surrounding void into rippling waves.

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

Is the old man… also going mad?

"Father, you…"

Gu Lin Tian looked at his own father with a worried expression, feeling a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next second.

"Lin Tian, you know nothing!"

Gu Cangsheng spun around abruptly, grabbed Gu Lin Tian's shoulder and shook it hard, the light in his eyes shining terrifyingly.

"You only saw danger, but missed the sky‑splitting opportunity hidden behind it!"

"Ordinary people could never refine an entire world into their body. But Yuan'er is different!"

Gu Cangsheng pointed at Gu Yuan, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"He has a chaotic singularity within his body! A World Tree sapling! And even this foundation stone of creation!"

"What does the combination of these three mean? It means he already possesses everything needed to construct a perfect great world."

"We are not merely forcing a whole world inside, but letting Yuan'er develop the world within his body!"

"If this plan succeeds, Yuan'er's foundation will become terrifyingly formidable. His future, even a mere Immortal King, will not be his end but his beginning!"

Gu Cangsheng grew more and more excited as he spoke, and finally, with a sweeping gesture and an unmistakably domineering tone, made the final decision.

"It's settled then!"

"Refine this fragment of the celestial realm for Yuan'er!"

"My Gu Family's Qilin'er must have the ambition to swallow the heavens and devour the earth!"

The entire space fell into death‑like silence.

Everyone was utterly stunned by Gu Cangsheng's words and his plan, which was a hundred times crazier than Gu Yuan's.
