Chapter 40: The Old Ancestor Was Shocked—This Grandson Is a Monster!

Inside the Bronze Immortal Coffin, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, his expression solemn and reverent.

His body was now radiating brilliant, dazzling divine light,

Countless profound Dao runes flowed and flickered across the surface of his skin.

From the outside,

he appeared to be merely undergoing an ordinary closed-door breakthrough.

But only those outside the coffin,

could the Old Ancestor, whose immortal Dao will perceives all, see,

within Gu Yuan's body,

what a terrifying, heaven-shaking spectacle was unfolding!

One after another, small worlds,

were constantly being born and evolving within his apertures!

Each world's creation was accompanied by the ravages of earth, fire, water, wind, and the illusory demise of sun, moon, and stars!

This was no longer cultivation,

it was practically mass-producing universes!

"One hundred…… two hundred…… three hundred……"

The Old Ancestor's cloudy eyes stared fixedly at Gu Yuan as he muttered to himself,

his voice trembling with a quiver he himself had not noticed.

He had thought that, with Gu Yuan's potential and the energy of that world origin,

at most he could open up three hundred sixty primary aperture worlds within his body,

reaching the theoretical limit.

That alone would be an unprecedented feat, enough to shake the ages.

But now he realized he was wrong.

Wrong by an outrageous margin!

Gu Yuan's potential far exceeded his imagination!

Three hundred sixty primary aperture worlds,

in less than half a day,

had already been fully opened by him!

Yet he showed no intention of stopping; instead, his momentum grew fiercer!

That immense world-origin energy,

after opening the three hundred sixty primary apertures, remained vast and boundless, as if endless!

They surged like a breached dam, assaulting the finer, more hidden secondary apertures within Gu Yuan's body!

Three hundred sixty-one!

Three hundred sixty-two!

……

Four hundred!

Five hundred!

……

One thousand!

When the one-thousandth aperture world,

was successfully opened within Gu Yuan's body,

Boom!

the entire inner cosmos shuddered violently!

Myriad stars resonated in unison,

as if cheering for the birth of this miracle!

"One thousand…… he actually opened a thousand worlds inside his body!"

Even though the Old Ancestor had lived through countless ages,

his true immortal mindset had long grown detached from all things,

at this moment he could no longer remain calm!

His gaunt frame suddenly rose from the edge of the bronze ancient coffin,

his face etched with utter disbelief!

"Monster! This brat is nothing short of a monster!"

The Old Ancestor couldn't help but blurt out a vulgar oath.

He had lived so long, seen countless peerless evildoer geniuses.

There were innate sages who bore heavenly edicts in their mouths, whose words became law.

There were reincarnations of chaotic gods and demons, with unmatched flesh and strength capable of shaking stars.

There were sons of the Great Dao, united with the Dao, able to stir all laws to resonance with a single thought.

But he had never seen, nor even heard of,

anyone who could, in the Pi Qiao Realm, open a thousand worlds within his body!

This was no longer breaking myths,

but creating an entirely new, terrifying myth that would leave all future geniuses in despair, unable even to glimpse its back when looking up!

"No! I can't let him keep going like this!"

A trace of solemnity suddenly flashed across the Old Patriarch's face.

"The world's primordial energy, though vast, is not infinite. If he keeps forging ahead without restraint and at the final moment the energy falls short, causing a world‑building failure, it would trigger a chain reaction and render all his previous efforts in vain!"

"It could even cause the Dao foundation to collapse, leading to death of the body and disappearance of the Dao!"

Thinking of this, the Old Patriarch could no longer sit still.

He had to act, forcibly interrupt Gu Yuan's breakthrough to let him stabilize his existing Dao foundation.

A thousand acupoint worlds are already enough!

This is an achievement unprecedented in ten thousand ages; there's no need to risk so much more!

However, at the very moment he prepared to act,

the anomaly erupted again!

Gu Yuan, seated in lotus posture on the Chaotic Azure Lotus Platform, suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled forcefully!

Hum—

Throughout the inner universe, the dense, unbreakable Chaotic Qi,

seemed drawn by an irresistible pulling force,

transformed into grayish torrents that surged wildly into his mouth and were swallowed into his belly!

"WTF!"

The Old Patriarch saw this scene, his eyes bulging out!

He… what is he doing?

He's devouring Chaotic Qi?!

That's Chaotic Qi!

It is the most primitive, most violent energy that existed before Heaven and Earth were opened!

Even a true immortal wouldn't dare swallow it so directly!

A single misstep could have the raging Chaotic Law burst the immortal's body and erase the immortal soul!

Yet this little monster Gu Yuan actually… actually treats it like a meal?!

"He's gone mad! This kid must be insane!"

The Old Patriarch's heart rose to his throat in an instant!

He had just prepared to act recklessly to stop him.

But he saw that after swallowing a massive amount of Chaotic Qi, the world‑origin energy inside Gu Yuan, which had begun to wane, suddenly became full and mighty again!

Even more refined and vast than before!

And the speed at which he forged acupoint worlds not only didn't slow, it actually accelerated!

One thousand one hundred!

One thousand two hundred!

…

One thousand five hundred!

…

Two thousand!

Old Patriarch: "..."

He stared blankly at the scene,

no longer knowing what words could describe his current feelings.

He felt that this true immortal, who had lived for countless eons,

in front of his own grandson, was like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

His own understanding was being mercilessly crushed again and again.

"Fine… never mind…"

The Old Patriarch let out a long sigh, returned to the edge of the bronze ancient coffin, his face full of lifeless indifference.

"This kid is a pervert! You can't judge him by normal logic!"

"Open as much as you like, as long as you don't kill yourself in the process…"

He had completely given up on healing.

Inside the immortal coffin, Gu Yuan knew nothing of what was happening outside.

At this moment, he was immersed in an unprecedented, marvelous sense of creation.

With each acupoint world he forged,

his comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth grew at a geometric rate, wildly expanding.

He felt as if he truly…

With a single thought, he could bring a world into being.

With a single thought, he could also destroy the universe.

This feeling of holding and controlling everything intoxicated him immensely.

Time, at this moment, seemed to lose its meaning.

He didn't know how long had passed.

A day?

A month?

Or a year?

When inside Gu Yuan's body,

The last one, and also the 3000th aperture world, the moment it successfully opened up.

Boom—!!!!

A tremor, tens of millions of times more terrifying than any before, burst forth from within his body with a boom!

The 3000 aperture worlds,

At this moment, as if pulled by some mysterious force, they all buzzed in unison, resonating afar!

Three thousand Dao, distinctly different yet originating from the same source, the grand Dao principles,

They surged out from the three thousand worlds, within his body, intertwining and merging, finally,

Transformed into a figure wearing the Heaven-leveling crown and clad in the myriad-Dao dragon robe,

The face identical to Gu Yuan's...... the illusory image of the Supreme Emperor!

That emperor's illusory image, seated cross‑legged upon Gu Yuan's dantian deity, with the opening and closing of its eyes,

Within it, the spectacle of the three thousand worlds arising and ceasing rotates!

He merely sat there quietly, yet he seemed to be the sole supreme ruler of all heavens and myriad worlds, past, present, and future!

"This...... this is...... the three thousand Grand Dao forming an imperial body?!"

Outside the coffin, the already completely numb ancestor,

At the moment he saw that emperor's illusory image,

He sprang up from his seat again!

In his turbid old eyes, only endless horror remained!
