Chapter 480
The Primordial Immortal Realm, Gu Family's Divine Island.
On the vast square before the Hall of Longevity, the atmosphere was in a frenzy never seen before.
The Myriad Medicines Divine Monarch was directing dozens of Gu Family core elders, carefully diverting the Hong Meng Dao Qi and Source Dao Qi, which poured down like the Nine Heavens' Milky Way, into the countless prepared jade bottles and cauldrons.
Gu Xuan Ce, meanwhile, led another group of formation masters, his face flushed, inscribing profound Spirit-Gathering formation patterns at key points across the Divine Island, ensuring not a trace of Dao Qi leaked out.
Gu Xue Dao, Gu Zhan and the others simply sat cross-legged in the pool formed by the converging Dao Qi, greedily absorbing this supreme fortune that would drive any True Immortal mad, their cultivation rising steadily.
Just as everyone was immersed in the celebration of this windfall from heaven, the void above the Divine Island twisted again without warning.
A silver portal, more stable and profound than before, slowly opened.
"Huh? More?"
The Myriad Medicines Divine Monarch was the first to lift his head, gazing at that familiar portal, his hands holding the Immortal King's Cauldron trembling slightly, a ridiculous thought arose in his mind.
"The young master… could he have gone shopping again?"
The next moment, two figures stepped out of the portal, one after the other.
Walking in front was Gu Yuan, his complexion pallid, a trace of fresh blood still at the corner of his mouth, his breath somewhat disordered.
Behind him followed the burly Gu Cangsheng, shouldering a massive bronze bell.
"Yuan'er!"
"Young master!"
"Ancestor!"
Seeing the two, the people on the square hastily stopped what they were doing and bowed in salute.
But when they saw Gu Yuan's wounded state, everyone's hearts leapt to their throats.
"Pfft—"
Gu Yuan had just steadied himself when he could no longer suppress his injuries, spurting a large mouthful of blood mixed with golden Law Fragments.
"Yuan'er!"
A figure instantly appeared beside Gu Yuan—none other than Gu Lin Tian, who had just been startled out of his seclusion chamber.
Seeing his son in that state, his usually stern face instantly filled with worry and heartache.
He grabbed Gu Yuan, pouring his mighty True Immortal origin into him, only to discover that within Gu Yuan's inner world, a violently destructive force raged to the extreme.
The level of that power was so high that even he, a peak True Immortal expert, felt his heart palpitate.
"This is… the origin of a Giant Immortal King?!" Gu Lin Tian exclaimed in shock.
"Father, I'm fine." Gu Yuan waved his hand; under the suppression of the chaotic origin poured in by Gu Cangsheng, his injuries had mostly stabilized, "Just a minor wound, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"A minor wound?" Gu Cangsheng slapped Gu Yuan's head angrily, "You brat nearly blew yourself up, and you dare call it a minor wound?!"
Gu Lin Tian looked at the grandfather and grandson, then at the still-open portal, his mind filled with doubt.
"Wasn't Yuan'er supposed to train on the True Immortal battlefield? How did he end up clashing with a Giant Immortal King and suffer such grave injuries?"
"Wasn't the Ancestor in seclusion trying to break through to the Supreme Immortal King? How did he also come back?"
However, before he could voice his question, a sight even more bewildering to him—and to everyone on Gu Family Divine Island—appeared.
"Boom—rumble—"
From within the massive silver portal, a huge world shrouded in dark red light slowly… squeezed out!
It was a complete continent, with mountains, rivers, cities dotting the landscape, and countless beings screaming in terror.
Above that continent's Heavenly Dome hung a colossal scarlet blood moon so huge it was suffocating!
A law utterly unlike that of the Primordial Immortal Realm, filled with yin chill and bloody aura, instantly enveloped the entire Gu Family Divine Island as this world appeared.
"This… this is…"
Gu Lin Tian was stunned.
Gu Xuan Ce's Compass clattered to the ground with a 'pa-da' sound.
The Myriad Medicines Divine Monarch's Immortal King's Cauldron nearly slipped from his grasp.
"This…" Gu Lin Tian swallowed hard, turned to look at Gu Cangsheng beside him, his voice trembling.
"Oh, this." Gu Cangsheng had his hands behind his back, nonchalant, and said offhand, "Yuan'er said our Gu Family's territory is still too small; with more descendants we can't fit them all, so he casually added a plot of land to our home."
"Casually… added a plot of land?"
Hearing this, all the Gu Family elders present felt their brains couldn't keep up.
That's a complete great world!
A top-tier great world whose legal strength is in no way inferior to that of the Primordial Immortal Realm!
And it was… just hauled back like a piece of land?!
"Cough—cough—"
Gu Yuan cleared his throat, breaking everyone's stupor, and pointed at the floating Blood Moon Netherworld in midair, saying to Gu Lin Tian:
"Father, this world is called the Blood Moon Netherworld; it was originally the eleventh domain of the Primordial Immortal Realm, rich in resources and unique in its laws. I have already severed it from the Primordial Immortal Realm's territory, and from now on it shall be the domain of our Gu Family."
"As for the specific integration, I'll leave it to you and Uncle Xuan Ce."
Gu Lin Tian opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long while.
He had been worrying about the Gu Family's rapid expansion causing a shortage of top-tier combat power and strained resources.
As it turned out, his son went on a "vacation," bringing back not only enough Hong Meng Dao Qi to elevate the whole family's cultivation by a stage, but now he's even hauled back a top-tier great world to serve as a backyard garden.
"This… this leaves me, as a father, wondering how I'm supposed to strive?"
The goals of my striving can't even keep up with the speed at which my son showers gifts!
"Good… good." Gu Lin Tian drew several deep breaths before finally calming the tumult in his heart; looking at Gu Yuan, his eyes brimmed with pride and relief, "No wonder I'm Gu Lin Tian's son!"
He turned around, instantly regained the authority of the family head, and began issuing orders in an orderly manner.
"Xuan Ce! Immediately organize personnel to analyze this world's law structure and swiftly connect it to our Gu Family Divine Island's Zhou Tian Star-Dou Great Array, forming a linkage!"
Wan Yao! You bring people into this realm, take stock of all heavenly treasures and earthly riches, especially that blood moon—I feel it contains extremely pure yin origin, which will be of great use to us!
Blood Dao, Gu Zhan! You two lead the vanguard force, suppress all hostile forces in this realm, register all living beings, and bring them under the Gu Family's jurisdiction!
As one order after another was issued, the entire Gu Family fell back into busyness.
Gu Yuan, meanwhile, after greeting his family, prepared to return to his chambers to properly handle this harvest and, incidentally, finish the last few tasks released by the system.
However, just as he turned around.
Gu Cangsheng, standing nearby, whose face had always borne a lazy smile, suddenly sank.
He abruptly raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce endless spacetime, looking toward some distant direction.
"Huh?" Gu Cangsheng's brows tightened.
Gu Yuan noticed his grandfather's oddness, stopped, and said, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"
Gu Cangsheng did not answer immediately; he closed his eyes, his fingers flying as he calculated, seemingly sensing something.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, a flash of icy cold light flickering in his gaze.
"That kid from Linjiang has run into trouble."
Gu Cangsheng spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it made everyone present feel a sudden tightening in their chests.
"Over there, someone who doesn't follow the rules has descended."
