Chapter 56: This time I also want to pack it up and take it away

Eternal life, for any living being,

Even if it is a true immortal standing at the peak of the cultivation pyramid,

they all possess a deadly temptation.

In his homeland, the Primordial Immortal Realm,

Even his grandfather, who has stepped into the realm of the Mundane True Immortal,

is not truly immortal and indestructible.

True immortals, though said to share the same lifespan as heaven and earth, the same lifespan as the sun and moon,

but ultimately still have a day when their lifespan ends.

However, that end, for mortals, is too distant, so distant it can almost be ignored.

But it exists, it exists.

But now, Gu Yuan, however, is in this shattered ancient realm,

in this heaven and earth filled with immortal substance,

he has caught a glimpse of a possibility of true eternal life!

Gu Yuan can clearly feel,

that his life essence is undergoing a wonderful sublimation.

If we say, his previous longevity immortal body,

is a sponge with a huge water storage capacity.

then now, this sponge,

is being infused with a divinity called immortality.

If given enough time,

perhaps he himself can give birth to immortal substance!

Originally, Gu Yuan's goal was to take away the World Tree,

then, as a side note, complete the system task to obtain the reward,

take it to strengthen a batch of ancestors,

as quickly as possible make the ancestors become Immortal Kings.

But now, his goal has changed.

World Tree sapling? Very important!

True Immortal Dao Fruit? Immortal King Scripture? Also very important!

But these, compared to true eternal life,

seem to appear……not so important.

"This world…… I will claim it!"

An incredibly crazy, yet incredibly firm thought,

in Gu Yuan's heart, madness breeds!

He not only wants to complete the task, not only wants to plunder resources.

He wants to take this entire Sanqian Zhou,

together with its unique laws,

that rich immortal substance, all packed up, brought back to the Primordial Immortal Realm!

Such abundant immortal substance,

is enough for the entire Gu Family,

those elders and foundations with one foot in the coffin all gain vitality,

regaining the possibility to explore higher realms!

Why did Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan fail in their assault on the Supreme Realm?

Isn't the reason simply that their lifespans were insufficient!

Imagine,

a 17th‑level Saint who was about to run out of lifespan,

suddenly receiving a great amount of immortal substance to nourish,

recovering to peak……

then assaulting the 18th level!

How many 17th‑level beings does the Gu Family have?

Just the dark guards present number a hundred!

If they break through……

that would be a hundred Supremes!!

This thought, once sparked, is like a prairie fire that cannot be contained.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging excitement in his heart.

He knows, this matter is too significant,

it has surpassed him, even surpassed what this ten‑person supreme team can decide.

He must immediately tell this heaven‑shaking discovery to his grandfather who dotes on him the most!

Gu Yuan, without changing expression, from his storage ring,

took out a green jade talisman that looks ordinary.

This was specially given to him by the ancestor before his departure.

Named the "Tongxin Immortal Talisman",

It was refined by the old ancestor using a strand of his own natal immortal soul; no matter how far apart the worlds, as long as they are within the same Chaotic Sea, it can ignore all spatiotemporal barriers and enable instantaneous communication.

It also allows one to act across worlds.

Of such a grade, the entire Gu Family possesses only this one.

This shows the old ancestor's indulgence toward him,

has reached an extent that cannot be increased further.

"Young Master?"

Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan, the two Dharma protectors,

immediately sensed something unusual about Gu Yuan.

"Nothing."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, his expression returning to its usual calm,

"I'll contact the family to let them know we have safely arrived."

The two Supremes, upon hearing this, nodded in understanding,

then they naturally took positions on either side, together with the other eight Supremes,

setting up a barrier that isolates all laws, enveloping Gu Yuan within it to prevent any aura from leaking out.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan no longer hesitated; he infused a strand of his divine sense into the Tongxin Immortal Talisman in his hand.

……

At the same time.

In the Primordial Immortal Realm, on the Gu Family's Divine Island, deep within the forbidden zone.

The Gu Family's old ancestor, seated cross-legged atop the Bronze Immortal Coffin,

was closing his eyes and focusing his mind, wholeheartedly refining the Chaotic Immortal Bell in his palm.

Suddenly.

The old ancestor felt something and abruptly opened his eyes.

He spread his other hand; in his palm,

lay a green jade talisman identical to the one in Gu Yuan's hand,

emitting a faint glow.

"Oh? You arrived so quickly?"

A hint of a smile appeared on the old ancestor's face,

and the stone weighing on his heart also fell away.

Although he dispatched a luxurious formation of ten Supremes and a hundred Holy Saints,

but after all, they were heading into a completely unknown world, and its strength seemed not low.

To say he wasn't worried would be false.

He extended a strand of his immortal sense into the jade talisman.

The next moment, Gu Yuan's clear voice sounded in his mind.

"Grandfather, we have safely arrived in Sin Province."

"Hmm, good."

The old ancestor replied with a smile,

"How is the situation there? Is everything still going smoothly?"

"Smooth, very smooth."

Gu Yuan's voice paused, then he spoke with a tone mixed with a bit of excitement and disbelief:

"Grandfather! Grandson has made a tremendous discovery!"

"Oh?"

The old ancestor raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.

For him to call his treasure grandson, who is accustomed to great storms, a tremendous discovery, it must certainly not be an ordinary matter.

"Please, tell us."

"Grandfather, this world…… is an unimaginable treasure trove!"

"The heavens and earth here are filled with imperishable substance! Exactly the same as the ancient immortal divine objects recorded in the classics!"

"What?!"

The old ancestor's gaunt body shuddered violently!

His turbid old eyes, capable of seeing through the ages, instantly widened to round!

"Imperishable substance?!"

"Yuan'er, are you certain?!"

The old ancestor's voice also grew urgent.

"Grandson is certain!"

Gu Yuan's voice was decisive,

"We all feel it! That power is constantly nourishing our bodies and souls, and even… slowly increasing our lifespans!"

"Moreover!"

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and dropped a true bombshell!

"My immortal longevity body reacts extremely strongly to this imperishable substance! It… is as if it were tailor-made for me!"

"I have a strong feeling! If… I can attain the Dao and become an immortal in this world, my lifespan… might truly reach… eternity!"

In an instant, this one who has lived through countless ages,

the true immortal expert who had seen through the vicissitudes of myriad ages froze entirely in place!

In his murky old eyes, an unprecedented towering surge rose!

An immortal body with eternal lifespan?

A world filled with immortal substance?

You must know, only as strong as a true immortal can a trace of immortal substance be born,

He has relied on these to survive until now.

Yet he was told,

That an entire world is everywhere filled with immortal substance?

This means that world's level is extremely high!

At the same realm, their lifespans are longer than those of the Primordial Immortal Realm!

It also means,

If he can obtain these immortal substances,

It is enough for him to assault the Immortal King!

This is enough to establish the Gu Family,

From now on, through countless ages,

Throughout all heavens and myriad worlds, unshakable, the supreme hegemony!

Moreover, there is even a grandson who, as a true immortal, can achieve complete immortality,

At this moment, what World Tree, what secret of becoming an immortal…

are no longer that important!

But in an instant, the ancestor reacted,

If it truly is as Yuan'er described,

then his previous judgment was completely wrong!

Where could it be that one cannot descend?

I fear that in that so-called Sanqian Zhou, true immortals exist.

Even if not,

supremes will certainly not be few!

Fortunately, fortunately I let Yuan'er bring more supremes along.

"Yuan'er!"

"Yuan'er!!"

The ancestor's voice, because of extreme agitation, trembled violently!

He sprang up from the Bronze Immortal Coffin, and from his withered frame burst an indescribable ecstasy!

"My good grandson! You… you are truly the greatest treasure heaven has bestowed upon our Gu Family!"

"Grandfather was mistaken before; the place you are in is likely not lower than the Primordial Immortal Realm!"

On the other side of the jade talisman, Gu Yuan listened to his grandfather's near-loss-of-control roar, the corners of his mouth slightly twitching upward.

"Grandfather."

"Grandson this time also wants to pack up the entire Sanqian Zhou and bring it home!"
