Chapter 501: Gu Cangsheng's Fortune

Back mountain, Gu Cangsheng's secluded cultivation abode.

The gate forged from Chaos Divine Stone burst open with a boom.

Gu Cangsheng shouldered the Chaos Immortal Bell, stepped forward, and appeared above the Hall of Longevity.

He gazed at the magnificent sight formed by the one hundred nineteen Immortal Veins Immortal Veins in the sky, then glanced down at the square where Gu Yuan's seclusion spot already showed signs of waning vigor, his face showing a mix of pride and heartache.

"This damned brat..."

Gu Cangsheng muttered a curse under his breath, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

He naturally knew what Gu Yuan was doing.

He also knew what trouble he had encountered.

"Is his foundation luck insufficient..." Gu Cangsheng rubbed his chin.

This grandson of his, though he had encountered constant miracles along the way, after all his cultivation time was still short.

Being able to support the opening of twenty beyond-standard Immortal Veins was already a miracle.

"But how could my grandson be stumped by such a trivial matter?"

Gu Cangsheng grinned.

He slapped his thigh hard and roared toward the direction of the square below.

"Good grandson! Don't be scared! Your little stash isn't enough, Grandpa still has more!"

Before his words faded, he flung the Chaos Immortal Bell from his shoulder to the side.

That bronze great bell swelled against the storm, expanding to tens of thousands of feet in size, its mouth facing downward, directly enveloping the entire Gu Family Divine Island, cutting off all heavenly secrets.

Having done all this, Gu Cangsheng sat cross-legged, his eyes which were usually half-open half-closed now fully opened.

Boom!

An indescribable primal aura, as if from the very beginning of the cosmos, erupted explosively from within him.

Behind him, a series of images began to flash by rapidly.

These were a condensed portrait of Gu Cangsheng's lifetime of warfare!

There was his youth, deep in the Chaos Sea, bare-handedly slaying a mature Chaos Giant Beast, seizing its essence, and forging an Indestructible Golden Body!

There was his young adulthood, wielding a simple firewood stick, charging alone onto a certain Primordial Divine Mountain, overturning the Supreme Dao Tradition that had been passed down for countless ages!

There was his middle age, battling a foreign true immortal for three hundred years, ultimately seizing an Enlightenment Stone!

……

Each image represented an opportunity!

From his current perspective.

These opportunities were not even comparable to a drop of Primordial Purple Qi.

Yet each opportunity had coalesced into Gu Cangsheng's unshakable Dao foundation and fortune!

"Yuan'er!"

Gu Cangsheng let out a long whistle, "All my lifetime's hidden reserves, I'm giving them all to you today!"

"Take it, old man—catch it!"

He clenched his hands together, and at that moment the myriad scrolls behind him transformed into the most brilliant Chaos Torrent, ignoring the distance of space and time, and surged straight into Gu Yuan's Dao Fruit below!

This was not a mere transmission of power.

But a far more mysterious grafting of opportunity!

Gu Cangsheng, using his lifetime's glory and opportunity, paved a broad road to the supreme for his grandson!

"This... this... is crazy! Everything's crazy!"

Inside the Hall of Longevity, the Myriad Medicine Divine Lord gazed at the sight in the sky, already utterly lost for words.

He pointed at Gu Cangsheng, then at Gu Yuan, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Using one's lifetime of opportunity to pave the way for a descendant?

What a grand scheme!

What indulgence!

Gu Gong was also deeply moved, bowing deeply toward Gu Cangsheng's direction.

"Virtuous ancestor!"

And Tu, he no longer even had the strength to be shocked.

He merely knelt there, his gaze dull.

He felt that his previous understanding of the Gu Family was still too shallow.

He... is this what family means?

For the outstanding juniors of the clan.

Can even one's own opportunity be forsaken?

Meanwhile.

Within the inner world.

Gu Yuan, who was worried about his "fuel" running out, suddenly felt a surge of immensely familiar yet vastly vast Chaos Torrent pouring into his Dao Fruit.

Within that torrent lay countless battle insights, supreme Dao truths, and heavy burdens of fortune enough to overwhelm the ages.

"Grandfather..."

A warm current welled up in Gu Yuan's heart.

He did not pretend.

He knew this was his grandfather's greatest expectation for him.

"Good!"

Gu Yuan's eyes burst forth with unprecedented brilliance.

"Since that's the case, then today, let my grandson go completely crazy once!"

"One hundred twenty articles!"

A meridian brimming with primordial, wild, and powerful sensation formed!

【Barbarian God Meridian】, accomplished!

Once this meridian is formed, Gu Yuan only feels that deep within his flesh, it's as if he has awakened a slumbering primordial ferocious beast; every movement contains the primordial barbaric power that can tear apart stars, that pure to the extreme, absolute power that heeds no laws!

"One hundred twenty-first article! Supreme Realm, condense for me!"

Boom! A meridian exuding an aura of supreme dominance, suppressing the invincible aura of peers, stretches out horizontally!

【Supreme Ultimate Meridian】, accomplished!

Countless old monsters in seclusion were startled by this terrifying commotion, all directing their divine senses toward the Gu Family Divine Island, but were blocked outside by that huge chaotic immortal bell, unable to do anything but anxiously wait outside.

Inside the Gu Family Divine Island, all Gu family members had already ceased cultivation.

They walked out of their caves, out of the palaces, raised their heads, and blankly gazed at the countless immortal meridian phantoms in the sky, each as if frozen by an immobilization spell.

Even Gu Lin Tian, who had just emerged from seclusion and was ready to showcase his prowess, now held that Hongmeng Giant Head Dao Fruit that he hadn't yet had time to refine, standing stunned at the entrance of the Longevity Hall.

He gazed at the sky, then looked at the Dao Fruit in his hand that could drive any immortal king mad, and for the first time doubted his own life.

This Dao Fruit… does it still smell fragrant?

As a father, I've painstakingly finally touched the threshold of the Giant Head.

As a result, my son… seems about to directly take off, to pierce the heavens?

……

"One hundred twenty-second article! Emperor of Heaven Realm, transform for me!"

Again a roar, a meridian seeming to govern the heavens and command myriad laws, the Imperial Dao Meridian, forcefully squeezed into the Dao Fruit!

【Heavenly Emperor Governing Meridian】, accomplished!

Inside the Longevity Hall, Gu Gong's body, reforged from Hongmeng Divine Wood, trembled slightly from excitement.

His pair of eyes burning with gold-red flames shone brightly, firmly fixed on the sky.

One hundred twenty-two!

The new master has already opened up one hundred twenty-two immortal meridians!

In the records of the ancient immortal court, that supreme immortal emperor who suppressed an era, the immortal meridians he opened upon first entering the True Immortal Realm, were one hundred twenty-three!

Only one meridian short!

Only lacking the final meridian, can one tie the myth created by that ancient immortal emperor!

Everyone held their breath, Myriad Medicine Divine Lord, Gu Lin Tian, Tu…… the entire Gu Family Divine Island fell into an ultimate silence, everyone's gaze gathered upon that plaza, anticipating witnessing the birth of a new myth.

However, an incense stick's time passed……

Half an hour passed……

Above the sky, that splendid phenomenon gradually subsided, but for a long time there was no movement, and no new immortal meridian phantoms shot up into the sky.

Is it going to fail?
