Chapter 192: Gu Zhan, Your Turn to Hit the Road

Gu Cangsheng nodded with satisfaction, and tapped his finger again.

Two slightly smaller light clusters floated lightly and landed before Gu Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, these two portions are yours."

Gu Lin Tian was startled for a moment, then rose, his expression solemn as he accepted, "Thank you, Father."

He is now a True Immortal Early Stage; although he has his self‑created "Three‑World Dao Transformation Body," advancing further is as hard as scaling the heavens.

These two Immortal King Origins—one of Sword Dao's primary killing aspect, the other of Corrupted Primary Divine Soul—are just right to temper his True Immortal Dao Fruit, and might even help him reach the threshold of True Immortal Mid Stage.

"You are the family head and a True Immortal; you must be able to hold the field, but a True Immortal Early Stage is still too weak."

Gu Cangsheng said lightly.

Gu Lin Tian nodded heavily, said nothing, but the light in his eyes grew brighter.

The remaining three portions.

Gu Cangsheng's gaze swept below.

"There's one here, Jiang Rou, Lin Jiang, Xuan Ce; the three of you share it."

As he spoke, the light cluster split into three, landing before each of the three.

All three are in the Heavenly Emperor Realm; together they refine this portion of Immortal King power, and the opportunity is no weaker than the ones Yuan'er gave to his father.

"Thanks, Grand Ancestor, for the gift!" The three bowed in unison, their hands trembling with excitement.

This is an Immortal King Origin! Even a third is enough for them to advance further.

Especially Jiang Rou.

She already possesses Heavenly Emperor Realm Mid Stage cultivation.

Now she might even break through to Half‑Immortal, perhaps.

"There's also one more…"

Gu Cangsheng looked at the eager Supreme Elders,

"The remaining portion goes to Zhan Fengzi and Gu Lao San when they return, counting as one share. The rest, you Supreme Elders who are complete, take it yourselves for profit and insight. How much you comprehend depends on your own destiny."

"Thank you, Grand Ancestor!"

The group of Supreme Elders rejoiced immensely. Though dozens share one portion, sounding a bit chilly, this is still Immortal King‑level material!

Even just smelling it can greatly refine their Dao cultivation.

At this point, nine of the ten portions are gone.

Only the final portion remains.

It is a portion that fuses Sword Dao and Corruption, repeatedly rinsed by Gu Cangsheng's Chaotic Qi, the purest, most core, and also the most dangerous.

Everyone's gaze fell on that final light cluster.

Everyone knows who this is intended for.

Yet no one dares to say.

Outside the main hall, the clash between Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao sounded a bit quieter, likely entering the endurance stage.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere grew subtle.

"Father…"

Gu Lin Tian stared at the final origin, his brows slightly furrowed, "This portion, you intend to…"

"Give it to Yuan'er."

Gu Cangsheng said bluntly, with no concealment.

As expected.

Everyone's hearts gave a sudden thud.

Though they had guessed long ago, hearing the Grand Ancestor say it aloud still felt somewhat… crazy.

"Grand Ancestor, is this… too hasty?"

A white‑bearded and white‑haired Supreme Elder rose tremblingly; he is an elder of the Gu family, having watched Gu Yuan grow, and usually dotes most on this Young Master,

"The Young Master is only at Ninth Realm now… Though his combat power is god‑like, this is still an Immortal King Origin! The Law Power it contains, even after your purification, is as heavy as Mount Tai. Can the Young Master's frail body bear it?"

"Indeed, Grand Ancestor."

Another elder agreed, "Pulling up seedlings accelerates growth but may damage the roots. The Young Master's talent is unparalleled; cultivating step by step will make him a great vessel. Why rush now and take such a huge risk?"

These opposing voices stem not from jealousy but genuine concern.

In their view, letting a Ninth Realm junior cultivator absorb an Immortal King Origin, even a fragment, is like asking an ant to swallow an elephant.

The most likely outcome: the ant bursts, the elephant remains unscathed.

Gu Yuan sat in his chair, listening to the loyal counsel, feeling a warm current in his heart.

This is what a family is.

If it were a scheming faction, someone would have shouted "Why?" long ago, and no one would worry about being crushed.

"Do you think Yuan'er can swallow it?"

Gu Cangsheng didn't get angry; instead he smiled, a somewhat eerie smile.

He lifted his teacup, sipped slowly, then pointed at Gu Yuan, "Yuan'er, show these old fools who've never seen the world a trick."

Gu Yuan sighed.

It seems low profile won't work.

"Since the elders worry, I'll make a fool of myself."

He rose slowly, made no grand gestures, only lightly stamped his foot.

Buzz—!

The space inside the hall suddenly collapsed without warning.

Not shattered, but collapsed.

Just like an invisible black hole suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

Immediately, an indescribable terrifying suction erupted from Gu Yuan's body.

That suction is not targeting the flesh, but targeting laws, energy, and everything tangible and intangible, plundering!

The spiritual energy inside the hall was instantly drained, turning into a vacuum.

The Emperor-origin sources floating in the air actually began to tremble, as if encountering a natural enemy, instinctively wanting to flee.

And behind Gu Yuan, a vast, boundless world phantom slowly emerged.

In that world, there is a heavenly divine tree swaying, chaotic qi surging, and sun, moon, stars sinking and floating.

Although just a prototype, that heaviness, that domineering artistic conception of encompassing and devouring everything, actually made the supremes present feel a pang of palpitation.

"This... this is..."

The Supreme Elder just now had his eyes about to pop out, his beard pulled straight by that suction, "Domain? No! This damn is a world?! A complete world prototype?!"

"Nine Realms evolving a world? Still nurturing a World Tree inside his body?!"

"My heavens... what is the Young Master storing in his dantian? A bottomless pit?"

Everyone turned pale in shock.

They could feel that the magnitude Gu Yuan is displaying now is simply not what the Nine Realms should have.

Even ordinary supremes, in the foundation of their internal worlds, may not surpass him!

"Now, who still thinks he can't swallow it?"

Gu Cangsheng set down his teacup and asked lightly.

The hall fell into dead silence.

"Can't swallow?"

"This kid's condition, let alone a wisp of Immortal King origin, even if you stuffed a sun into him, he could probably chew it like candy!"

"Since there's no objection, let's decide that."

Gu Cangsheng waved his hand, and that final drop of the purest Immortal King origin flew straight to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan also wasn't polite, opened his mouth and sucked.

"Whoosh—!"

That mass of terrifying energy that could make a supreme explode, was just swallowed by him like a mud cow entering the sea.

"Burp."

Gu Yuan let out a satisfied burp, rubbed his stomach, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "The taste is a bit strong, but... the power is great."

Everyone: "..."

"Is this human?"

"This is definitely an ancient ferocious beast wearing human skin!"

Just then, the rumbling outside the hall finally stopped.

Two figures, limping, walked in from outside.

Gu Zhan's golden armor was mostly shattered, his nose bruised and face swollen, one eye swollen to a slit, but that axe remained tightly gripped in his hand, his face wearing a victorious silly smile.

Gu Xue Dao also wasn't much better, his blood robe turned into strips, hair disheveled, bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, walking unsteadily.

"Hehe... I won."

Gu Zhan grinned with his big mouth missing a tooth, gave a thumbs up to Gu Cangsheng: "Ancestor, that little white mouse... belongs to me!"

Gu Xue Dao had a grim face, didn't speak, just spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Lost by half a move."

"Just a little bit short!"

"Alright."

Gu Cangsheng looked at these two miserable fellows, a flash of approval in his eyes: "Since you've won, then no more talk. Rest half an hour, then... set out!"

"Set out."

"That sounds a bit inauspicious."

But at this moment, in Gu Zhan's ears, this is the most moving celestial music.

He, Gu Zhan, is about to become an immortal!
