Chapter 507

~6 min read 1,189 words

Hum—

It seemed to feel the master's summons, and the 【Primeval War Seal】 trembled slightly.

A blurry, almost indiscernible shape... a phantom of a broken finger emerged slowly from the war seal.

"So... the 【Primeval War Seal】 is formed from your finger?"

Gu Yuan's heart surged with waves.

"Not entirely."

The figure on the throne shook its head.

"The 【Primeval War Seal】 is a corner of the Celestial Court's Heaven-Conquering War Weapon, the 【Heaven-Conquering Chart】; however, in my battle with that Celestial Emperor, we fought until the Great Dao collapsed and disintegrated. Moreover, I was ambushed, so I had no choice but to seal the Sword Intent into the damaged 【Heaven-Conquering Chart】 and toss it into the Boundary Sea, hoping to find a way home. In the end, although the Celestial Court found it, I seem unable to return."

He said it lightly.

Anyone could tell how cruel the battlefield is.

"That Sword Intent, you cannot use it; the karma it carries is too great. Once activated, your frail body will instantly be blown apart by that power, not even leaving scraps."

"But..."

He shifted the topic.

"I can help you, detach it and re-refine it."

Before his words even faded,

His illusory finger pointed lightly toward Gu Yuan's direction.

Gu Yuan only felt his inner world jolt violently.

On the 【Primeval War Seal】, a pure to the extreme sword-shaped light shadow, seemingly able to sever eternity, was forcibly pulled away by an invisible force.

Immediately after,

That sword-shaped light shadow, under the will of the figure on the throne, began to rapidly reorganize.

In the end, it turned into an ordinary-looking broken finger.

"All done."

The figure on the throne's voice grew even weaker.

"This finger possesses about one percent of my former power."

"Don't underestimate it; killing a Quasi-Celestial Emperor is still easy, remember only one strike."

"Once used, it's gone."

"Also don't think of studying it; there's nothing inside, just pure destruction."

"When and how to use it is up to you."

That broken finger turned into a stream of light, piercing this space of obsession, directly entering Gu Yuan's between the eyebrows, hovering silently in his Sea of Consciousness.

Gu Yuan could feel a subtle connection forming between himself and that broken finger.

He only needs a thought to activate it.

"Thank you, senior."

Gu Yuan solemnly bowed to that nearly vanished figure.

This is no small gift.

This is the genuine trump card that can overturn the board in an instant.

A life‑preserving talisman that lets him, against any strong foe, land a desperate counter‑kill.

"Alright, stop with this nonsense."

The Celestial Emperor impatiently waved his hand.

"What irritates me most are these tedious formalities."

"There's something I need to remind you of."

His voice suddenly turned serious.

"Besides yourself, it's best not to trust anyone, and certainly not to rely excessively... on the forces of the outside world."

After saying that, his figure completely turned into countless specks of light that scattered and vanished.

Only a faint sigh remained, echoing through the dead silence of the ruins.

"Finally... I can... rest..."

Gu Yuan's consciousness returned to his body.

In the starry sky, the world‑shattering calamity clouds had long dispersed, leaving only him, silently hovering.

He gathered all his breath, took a step, and returned to the Gu Family Divine Island.

"Yuan'er!"

Gu Lin Tian was the first to come forward, looking at his son, his eyes filled with worry and concern.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Gu Yuan shook his head, a relaxed smile appearing on his face, "I'm perfectly fine."

"What a joke!"

Gu Cangsheng, carrying the Chaotic Celestial Bell, walked over in a bad mood, raised his hand and gave Gu Yuan's back of the head a light tap.

"You little bastard, you scared the hell out of me, got it? Self‑abolished your cultivation? You damn dare to mess around!"

He cursed with his mouth, yet the amusement and pride in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Grandpa, it's nothing, right?" Gu Yuan chuckled.

"Hm." Gu Cangsheng glared at him, then couldn't help but laugh, "Well done!"

Inside the Hall of Longevity.

Myriad Medicines Divine Lord and Tu stared at this grandfather and grandson, utterly unable to speak.

Especially Tu, looking at Gu Yuan, his gaze could no longer be described as reverent.

"Father, this Dao Fruit, you should also refine it."

Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon the 【Hong Meng Giant Head Dao Fruit】 in Gu Lin Tian's hand.

"Good."

Gu Lin Tian nodded, looking at his son who had just pierced the heavens, his heart surged with heroic ambition.

Now that his son is this powerful, he as a father can't afford to fall behind.

The Giant Head Realm — he must attain it!

"Elder Gu Gong, Myriad Medicines Senior, Tu."

Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the three people in the hall.

"Young Master!" the three hastily bowed.

"On Divine Island, all resources are open without restriction to all clansmen and offerings."

"Myriad Medicines Senior, thank you for your trouble; using Hong Meng Dao Qi as a guide and those Immortal King Dao Fruits as medicine, open the furnace and concoct pills — I want to see our Gu Family gain another hundred True Immortals in the shortest time!"

"Yes!"

The Myriad Medicines Divine Lord's eyes blazed with fervent light.

Using Hong Meng Dao Qi and Immortal King Dao Fruits to concoct pills?

Such an extravagant act — just thinking about it made this Alchemy Dao Immortal King tremble with excitement throughout his body.

"Elder Gu Gong, the defense of Divine Island is now in your hands. In these critical times, I don't want any blind flies to fly in."

"As you command!" Elder Gu Gong bowed and accepted the order.

"Tu." Gu Yuan looked at Tu.

"Master!" Tu hastily knelt.

"Come with me."

Having said that, Gu Yuan turned and headed toward his secluded cultivation chamber.

Tu dared not hesitate, quickly following after him.

Inside the secret chamber.

Gu Yuan looked at Tu kneeling before him and spoke lightly.

"You come from the Boundary Sea; you should be well informed about its situation, right?"

"Yes… yes, Master."

Tu replied respectfully,

"As a sinful slave, I have wandered the Boundary Sea for over three hundred thousand years, and I have a rough knowledge of its major powers and dangerous forbidden zones."

"Very good." Gu Yuan nodded.

What he lacks now is a guide who knows the true state of the myriad worlds.

And Tu, this Immortal King of the Peak from the Boundary Sea, is undoubtedly the best choice.

"I want to know everything about the Zang Tian Ge." Gu Yuan asked directly.

"Zang Tian Ge?"

Tu's face showed a look of confusion for the first time.

"Master, please forgive this ignorant slave; this name, I… have never heard of it."

"Never heard of it?"

Gu Yuan's brows furrowed.

Even Tu, an old fox who has wandered the Boundary Sea for hundreds of thousands of years, doesn't know of the Zang Tian Ge's existence?

Just how deeply hidden is this organization?

Or perhaps… it doesn't even belong to this universe?
