Chapter 196: It's been a few days, and you've done this?

Yes, it was dispersed.

It was like a clump of discarded second‑hand smoke, slapped apart by this palm, turning into a sky‑filling rain of spiritual qi that fell pattering down.

The sky cleared.

Sunlight once again showered down on Gu Family Divine Island.

The entire Primordial Immortal Realm was deathly silent.

Everyone gaped, their dislocated jaws popping up one after another.

What did they see?

One person, one slap, and the Heavenly Punishment was dispersed?

They scolded the Heavenly Dao away?

"This… this…"

The Primordial Divine Lord fell to his knees with a thud, his whole body trembling like chaff in a sieve.

He finally understood why the Gu Family dared to be so arrogant.

How could this be a place where a True Immortal presides?

This clearly has… oh my heavens!

"Immortal… Immortal King…"

In the Myriad Glaze True Immortal's beautiful eyes, two streams of clear tears flowed.

It was both excitement and despair.

The excitement was that the Primordial Immortal Realm finally produced an Immortal King.

The despair was that this Immortal King bore the surname Gu.

From now on, this day will no longer be the Heavenly Dao's day.

But the Gu Family's day!

……

……

The Heavenly Punishment dispersed, and spiritual rain poured down.

That rain fell on Gu Zhan's battered body, like the finest healing sacred medicine.

This is also a reward for a True Immortal.

As long as one survives it.

No matter how severe the injury, it can be healed!

And if a top‑level True Immortal makes a breakthrough.

It is said that even within the tribulation there is True Immortal Liquid!

That is a supreme spiritual treasure that would move even an Immortal King's heart!

As the rainwater poured in.

Gu Zhan's wound, originally deep enough to see the bone, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The newly grown flesh became tougher, suffused with a faint chaotic hue—that was a strand of Primordial Chaos Source that Gu Cangsheng, while dispersing the tribulation clouds, had casually infused into his body.

Misfortune turned into blessing.

Gu Zhan not only survived, but thanks to that wisp of chaotic qi, his True Immortal foundation became equal to that of any ordinary True Immortal.

"Old… Old Ancestor…"

Gu Zhan crawled out of the pit, looked up at the divine‑like figure hovering in mid‑air, and his eye sockets instantly reddened.

This tower‑like man had not blinked in the face of certain death moments ago, yet now he wept like a two‑hundred‑pound child.

"What are you crying for? Losing face."

Gu Cangsheng descended, and although he was cursing, he still tossed him a new set of battle armor,

"Put on the clothes; going shirtless won't scare the womenfolk at home."

"Hehe…"

Gu Zhan hastily wiped his face, put on the armor, then bowed deeply three times before Gu Cangsheng.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for saving my life!"

"All right, get up." Gu Cangsheng waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the clansmen still dazed in the distance,

"What are you all standing around for? Do what you need to do. Haven't you ever seen this old man get angry?"

Only then did the crowd snap out of their stupor.

"Congratulations to the Battle Ancestor on proving the Dao and becoming a True Immortal!"

"Congratulations to the Old Ancestor whose divine might overwhelms the world!"

Cheers erupted like a tsunami, nearly overturning the dome of Gu Family Divine Island.

At this moment, the Gu Family's cohesion reached an unprecedented peak.

With such a protective and invincible Old Ancestor, and such a path that can defy heaven and change destiny, what reason do they have not to give their all?

Inside the main hall.

Gu Yuan watched this scene, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a glint of calculation.

"Father."

He turned his head to look at Gu Lin Tian, who was still calming his emotions.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Lin Tian's gaze toward his son grew ever more satisfied, to the point he wished he could tear out his heart and give it to him.

"Battle Uncle's success proves that this path is viable."

Gu Yuan tapped his fingers on the table, producing a series of rhythmic sounds,

"Although the process was a bit painful, the risk a bit high, and we even needed the ancestor to step in and clean up, the result is good."

"Since the result is good, we cannot waste it."

"You mean……"

Gu Lin Tian's heart stirred.

"Mass production."

Gu Yuan spat out two words, his eyes fervent, "We still have over a hundred portions of supreme origin, and that path to immortality. As long as the ancestor is here, heavenly punishment is no problem."

"Since heavenly punishment is not a problem, perhaps we can indeed try, mass-producing true immortals!"

Hiss—

Gu Lin Tian sucked in a breath of cold air.

Over a hundred true immortals?

This idea is too crazy!

If this gets out, probably the myriad heavens and worlds will be scared silly.

"Yuan'er, this…… can the ancestor's body handle it?"

Gu Lin Tian was somewhat worried, "After all, each time we have to oppose the will of the Heavenly Dao……"

"Don't worry, Dad."

Gu Yuan pointed outside, "You didn't notice? Just now the ancestor's slap didn't just scatter the tribulation clouds, it also frightened this region's Heavenly Dao."

"The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Immortal Domain is probably no match for Grandfather."

"But I'm just saying; we need to wait for Uncle Zhan to return. If there's no problem, we can then begin…… the plan to mass-produce true immortals!"

……

……

Fallen Immortal Land.

A fallen immortal domain.

Under the eternal night canopy.

The Faceless Immortal King's true form sat cross-legged on a throne piled from countless bones, on that faceless visage, a dark vortex churned violently.

His clone was destroyed, not only causing him to lose a great deal of origin, but also making him feel a long-lost anger and a hint of fear!

"Gu Cangsheng…… half-step Immortal King…… no, that is already the combat power of a Jue Dian Immortal King."

The Faceless Immortal King's low voice echoed in the vast hall, carrying a hint of reluctance and resentment.

He extended his hand, a mass of black mist rose in his palm, within which the outline of the Burial Emperor Star Domain could faintly be seen.

Unfortunately, as time passed.

That Burial Emperor Star Domain became increasingly indistinct.

This means it is about to slip out of control.

"I let that waste take charge, yet over all these years he hasn't even let the Burial Emperor Star Domain fall."

The Faceless Immortal King felt very disappointed.

He has many worlds he wishes to destroy.

It's utterly impossible to manage them one by one.

So he entrusted some less powerful star domains to the Netherworld Sovereign.

Who would have thought that waste would show no movement at all over all these years.

It turns out he was forced into slumber after being beaten for some unknown reason.

As the Faceless Immortal King would say.

It would have been better to just beat him to death.

That way, at least he would know and could promptly send someone else, or simply carry out the extermination plan himself.

It wouldn't have come to this.

Not only did he fail, he wasted time for nothing and even lost one of his own clones!

"He's utterly useless!"

The Faceless Immortal King had a moment where he wanted to descend another clone.

But that thought was quickly shattered.

Even upon descent, his clone remains merely that of an ordinary Immortal King.

It is fundamentally no match for a Jue Dian Immortal King.

"What a pity; how at such a crucial moment did a native immortal king appear?"

The Faceless Immortal King sighed, just as he was about to take action.

Three illusory figures appeared in the void.

These were sent by the Lord to jointly oversee this region's 1,032 worlds, star domains, or immortal domains…… the other three Immortal Kings.

"Yo, isn't that the Faceless One? Haven't seen you in days, you've gotten so weak. I heard that a domain under your command gave birth to a native immortal king, and right upon birth he took out your clone—that must be at least a Jue Dian Immortal King. Let me see how you'll explain this to the Lord."
