Chapter 79: Waving a Hand to Create the Heavenly Emperor

Time passes, minute by minute, second by second.

Within the golden furnace, Gu Linjiang's aura skyrockets at a visibly rapid pace!

It is the bottleneck on his body that belongs to the Supreme of the Eighteenth Realm.

Under the wash of that pure Dao of Immortals' origin, it begins to shake violently, spawning crack after crack!

"Now! Let this old man shatter it!"

A flash of brilliance shines in the Elder Patriarch's eyes, and he suddenly intensifies the True Immortal Dao fire!

Boom!!!

A thunderous sound, as if from the depths of a soul, erupts explosively within Gu Linjiang's body!

That solid barrier that has troubled him for 180,000 years.

At this moment, it is completely shattered!

A terrifying aura, far surpassing the Supreme, truly above ten thousand Way, dominating the heavens, erupts explosively from Gu Linjiang's body!

Above the Heavenly Dome, the winds and clouds change color!

Endless tribulation clouds gather again!

But this time the tribulation clouds are no longer blood‑red, but bear the supreme majesty of… the nine‑colored hue!

Nine‑Colored Lightning Tribulation!

This is the highest‑grade heaven‑and‑earth trial that only descends when a cultivator breaks through to the Nineteenth Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Realm!

It is said to be the True Immortal Realm.

The Heavenly Dao no longer has the authority to test.

Massive nine‑colored divine lightning, as thick as mountains, rolls and roars within the tribulation clouds, emitting a destructive aura.

Causing all the Gu Family Supremes present to feel a sudden heart‑pounding dread.

They have no doubt that if this lightning tribulation strikes, any one of them would be finished on the spot!

"Hmph! Such a petty lightning tribulation dares to act brazenly before this old man?"

Yet the Elder Patriarch merely looks up.

He glances at the sky‑filled tribulation clouds and snorts disdainfully.

He is even too lazy to make a move.

Yet that snort, infused with supreme True Immortal will, transforms into an invisible shockwave that sweeps across the heavens!

Boom—boom—boom—!

The nine‑colored tribulation clouds that had just coalesced, raging with momentum.

Under that snort, as if meeting a nemesis, they instantly collapse and vanish without a trace!

Not even a single bolt had time to strike, and… it just disappeared like that?

Below, the surviving cultivators of various factions, already numb with fear.

Seeing this, they no longer know what expression to use to convey their feelings.

With a wave of his hand, he suppresses four venerable broken Immortals.

With a single phrase, he repels the lightning tribulation.

Is… is this still a human?

They feel that today's experiences are more bizarre and dreamy than the sum of the past tens of thousands of years.

"Thank you, Elder Patriarch!"

From within the golden furnace comes Gu Linjiang's voice, full of gratitude and ecstatic joy.

He slowly opens his eyes, and two beams of substantial divine light, imbued with the Heavenly Emperor Law, burst forth, piercing the void and creating two bottomless black holes!

He succeeded!

He truly stepped into the long‑sought… Nineteenth Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Realm!

Feeling the endless, terrifying power within his body that seems capable of controlling the whole world's workings, Gu Linjiang is moved to tears of joy.

He steps out of the furnace, approaches the Elder Patriarch, and kneels heavily once more.

"Gu Linjiang, I bow and thank the Elder Patriarch and Young Master for the grace of rebirth!"

"From now on, Linjiang's life belongs to the Young Master! If the Young Master orders me east, I will never go west!"

He knows that if not for the Elder Patriarch's guardian, the Young Master had not found this world, he could never have reached this height in his lifetime.

"Fine, we're all family; why say all this."

The Elder Patriarch smiles and helps him up.

"You just broke through; your realm is still unstable. Go to the side and consolidate it properly."

"Yes, Elder Patriarch!"

Gu Linjiang replies respectfully.

Then he steps aside, sits cross‑legged, and begins to stabilize his Heavenly Emperor Dao fruit.

Vast amounts of incorporeal matter surge from all over Sanqian Zhou into Gu Linjiang's body.

Everyone can sense an unusually vigorous life force surging within Gu Linjiang!

Gu Yuan is highly sensitive to life force.

In an instant he perceives Gu Linjiang's life force, flourishing as if restored to its peak.

If one were to say that he once resembled a seventy‑year‑old mortal.

Then now he has recovered to middle‑age vigor.

His life force rivals even that of his father.

In an instant he could possess at least a million years of lifespan!

And Gu Zhan, Gu Zhangfeng, Gu Yunlan and several other supremes were now looking at Gu Linjiang with eyes full of envy and burning fervor.

Heavenly Emperor!

That's the nineteenth realm!

It just… succeeded?

This is way too easy!

Their hearts felt as if scratched by a cat, unbearably itchy.

Especially Gu Zhan.

He had heard it from Gu Xue Dao's big mouth.

The Immortal of Longevity had plotted for hundreds of thousands of years.

Taking the lifespans of innumerable beings of the Profound Heaven Continent as the base, and the entire continent as aid.

Once the longevity immortal elixir is completed, they will in one fell swoop break through to the nineteenth realm.

But in the end it still wasn't successful.

It contributed to the young master's rise.

Thus one can see how difficult it is to reach the nineteenth realm, the Heavenly Emperor realm.

At the same time, their gazes involuntarily flicked to the two remaining immortal corpses on the ground, as well as the still-living immortal remnant of the celestial palace.

That gaze was like a wolf starved for eight hundred years seeing three plump little lambs.

"Cough cough!"

The old ancestor naturally noticed their little thoughts.

He gave a light cough twice, whetting their appetites, then slowly opened his mouth.

"Rest assured, everyone gets a share, none will be missing."

"Howl!"

Gu Zhan couldn't hold back, letting out an excited shout; he almost jumped up on the spot.

Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan.

Although not as exaggerated as him, their trembling, excited appearance also revealed their inner unrest.

"That demonic immortal cultivates the path of flesh and blood; you four, each take a portion, and we'll divide it later."

"As for how much you can comprehend, that depends on your own fortune."

The old ancestor said, waving his big hand.

The massive demonic immortal corpse, whose body and soul had been destroyed, was then split into two halves by an invisible force; one half flew toward each of the four supremes, including Gu Zhan, while the remainder was stored away by him into his sleeve, vanishing into nothing.

"Thank you, old ancestor!"

The four were overjoyed and hastily bowed in thanks.

"Grandfather, are you taking half as a toll?" Gu Yuan asked curiously.

"What toll? Do I look like that kind of immortal to you, grandfather?"

The old ancestor gave him an annoyed glance.

"Each immortal remnant contributes a thread for your father to comprehend; the remaining half is reserved for Xuan Ce and them."

"There are two more immortal remnants; one goes to you, the other to Xuan Ce, who has been stuck at the peak of the eighteenth realm for a long time. If this goes smoothly, perhaps it will allow our Gu Family to gain two Heavenly Emperors at once."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan naturally had no objections.

The Gu Family grows stronger.

Then he will have all the more confidence.

At this moment, the four who had obtained the divided immortal remnant essences could not wait and began refining them on the spot.

Although the essence of a single immortal remnant,

is not enough for them to break through directly to the Heavenly Emperor realm like Gu Linjiang did.

After all, including Gu Zhan,

only Gu Xuan Ce and Gu Linjiang are two peak eighteenth-realm experts.

But the immortal laws and pure energy contained within are also enough to cause their strength to surge dramatically on top of their existing foundation!

It can even allow them to catch a glimpse of the mysteries of the Heavenly Emperor realm ahead of time!

This holds immeasurable benefits for their future cultivation path!
