Chapter 513: with translation of chapter title

He finished speaking.

Gu Cangsheng left.

He paced to the main hall's entrance, gazing at the flourishing Divine Island outside, but a hint of worry flickered in his eyes, barely noticeable.

The Gu Family's development is too fast.

It has reached an almost monstrous extent.

Before Gu Yuan rose, the Gu Family openly had only him as a True Immortal—oh no, a half-step Immortal King.

But now?

True Immortals walk everywhere, Supremes are worse than dogs.

It is estimated that in just a few years, the newly promoted True Immortals of the main line alone will exceed a hundred.

But the problem is, these True Immortals were almost all brought forth by relying on the 【Hongmeng Creation Immortal Pill】.

Their cultivation is genuine.

But their state of mind, combat experience, and comprehension of the Dao far lag behind the growth of their cultivation.

In other words, they are a bunch of... greenhouse flowers with only power.

Usually, acting high and mighty in the Primordial Immortal Domain is still fine.

But once they face true powerhouses who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they will likely crumble at the first touch.

Gu Cangsheng clearly understands that this explosive growth is unsustainable and carries great hidden dangers.

"Looks like I need to find something for these little brats to do," Gu Cangsheng thought to himself.

We can't let them stay in the Divine Island's comfortable nest any longer.

We must throw them out, onto the cruelest battlefield, to be battered, tempered, and to see blood.

Only those who survive are qualified to become the true pillars of the Gu Family.

"Xuan Ce." Gu Cangsheng transmitted his voice.

Gu Xuan Ce, who was setting up the Great Array, immediately replied: "Ancestor, please give your orders."

"Convey my orders." Gu Cangsheng's voice turned solemn: "All newly promoted True Immortals, once their seclusion ends, are to be incorporated into the expeditionary army."

"In teams of ten, with Gu Zhan, Gu Xue Dao, etc. as captains, march to the myriad heavens battlefield; I, Gu Gong, Wan Yao, and Tu Hui will support you at any time."

Gu Xuan Ce's heart jolted upon hearing that.

He knew the ancestor was about to continue drilling the troops.

Letting these raw recruits directly gnaw on such hard bones, casualties are inevitable.

But he did not dissuade them.

Because he knew this was a necessary sacrifice.

Womanly benevolence will only harm the entire family.

"Yes! This old one will arrange it immediately!" Gu Xuan Ce bowed and accepted the order.

……

On the other side, on the Divine Island's martial training field.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous bang, Gu Zhan, who had just broken through to the peak of True Immortal, was sent flying by a scarlet blade of light.

On his indestructible battle physique, comparable to an Immortal King artifact, a deep knife mark down to the bone remained.

"Hahaha! Gu Zhan, you're no good!"

Gu Xue Dao shouldered a scarlet long blade, standing at the center of the martial training field, his red hair flying, full of heroic spirit.

He also took one 【Hongmeng Creation Immortal Pill】, and his cultivation likewise surged to the peak of True Immortal.

At this moment, the killing aura on his body was more than ten times stronger than before; every move seemed capable of summoning the terrifying apparition of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Bullshit!"

Gu Zhan climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his fighting spirit burning brighter: "I'm just letting you win! Come again!"

He roared and charged again at Gu Xue Dao.

Neither used much immortal essence or laws; they merely collided with their pure fleshly bodies and blades in the most primitive clash.

Each clash of fist and blade erupted with terrifying power capable of rending the void.

Around the martial training field, a large group of newly promoted Gu Family True Immortals gathered.

They watched the two senior immortals fighting like gods in the arena, each one stunned.

Although they too had become True Immortals, they clearly knew that if they stepped onto the field, they probably couldn't even withstand a single move.

"Is this... what a true True Immortal is?"

A young Gu family member muttered to himself.

His eyes were filled with shock, and a hint of loss.

Both are True Immortals, so why is the gap so huge?

At that moment, Gu Xuan Ce's figure appeared above the martial training field.

He looked down at the group of somewhat bewildered newly promoted True Immortals and announced Gu Cangsheng's order in an icy voice.

"All newly promoted True Immortals, hear the order!"

"Once your seclusion ends, immediately gather before the Hall of Longevity, join the expeditionary army, march to the myriad heavens battlefield, and purge the polluted worlds!"

"This is the ancestor's decree; no mistake allowed!"

As his words fell, the entire martial training field instantly fell into dead silence.

The faces of those young True Immortals who had been watching the excitement lost their ease and leisure instantly, replaced by solemnity... and excitement!

They are not afraid of battle.

They were just worried, having strength but nowhere to use it, eventually becoming the family's rice worms.

Now, the opportunity has come!

"Battle!"

I don't know who, but someone was the first to let out a roar.

Immediately after, a battle spirit like a mountain's roar and sea's surge shot up from the bodies of these young true immortals!

"Battle! Battle! Battle!"

Even Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao, who were in the middle of a fight, stopped.

They glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of bloodthirsty excitement in the other's eyes.

Continue to purge the polluted world?

This is far more interesting than their sparring here!

……

Five years later.

Gu Yuan's inner world.

The Myriad Medicine Grand World has now been completely merged into the territory of the Divine Kingdom.

It transformed into a verdant fairy island floating east of the Human Dao Continent, with immortal qi swirling and medicinal fragrance permeating the island.

The roots of the World Tree and the island's ley lines perfectly connected, continuously supplying it with the purest life essence.

The plants and living beings on the island, nourished by this life essence, awakened their spiritual intelligence, and their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

And Gu Yuan, too, finally opened his eyes after emerging from a five-year seclusion.

Refining an entire top‑level middle‑thousand world was, for him, also no small undertaking.

It seemed there was no harvest.

But Gu Yuan had grown accustomed to it.

To him, short‑term realm increases were not important.

After all, his power could no longer be measured simply by realm.

"Hah..." Gu Yuan exhaled deeply, stood up, and stretched his limbs.

Just then, that familiar, punch‑worthy mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

【Ding! Detected that the host has completed deep seclusion, spirit full, refreshed and invigorated……】
