Chapter 80: then translation of title

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, the entire Sanqian Zhou fell into a strange, deathly silence.

No, it should be called numbness.

Because, in the direction of Zui Zhou, at the entrance to that ancient immortal ruin.

At intervals, a earth‑shattering aura of a mighty cultivator would erupt.

At first, it was like a calamity cloud gathering that seemed ready to destroy heaven and earth, its movement stronger than even the birth of a new Sect Leader.

Though it dispersed quickly, that pressure, towering above ten thousand Dao, finally roused countless ancient monsters of the great states from their slumber.

"Someone… has broken through beyond the Sect Leader?"

"It's from the direction of Zui Zhou! Could it be that one from the Immortal Hall has fully revived?"

"Hey, isn't that Old Yan? You woke up too late; the one from the Immortal Hall is already dead."

Yet, before they could even regain their senses.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Again, several remnant immortal auras surged skyward.

In less than a quarter of an hour thereafter.

The remnant immortal auras familiar to the elder Sect Leader's perception all fell!

The whole Sanqian Zhou.

Four revered remnant immortals.

All fell!

Then, within those three days.

Waves of immensely fierce thunder tribulations periodically swept across Sanqian Zhou!

Then the thunder tribulations were dispersed.

Each aura, many times stronger than the Sect Leader, made them turn pale!

The strong cultivators of the entire Sanqian Zhou were on the brink of madness.

Where did Sanqian Zhou produce so many cultivators surpassing the Sect Leader?

Moreover, even the four revered remnant immortals died!

What on earth happened in Zui Zhou?

"Investigate! Spare no cost, find out the truth for me!"

"Send people to Zui Zhou quickly—no, never mind, it's too dangerous; observe from afar!"

The major immortal sects and the Supreme Great Sect of Sanqian Zhou were all thrown into chaos.

Seeking to uncover the truth.

Yet at this very moment.

The land of Zui Zhou had long been suppressed by a terrifying might.

Even a Sect Leader, powerful as they are, could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and watch from a distance.

And the entrance to the ancient immortal ruin at this time.

The Elder Ancestor looked at the clan members training below, a grin blooming on his face.

It was on the first day.

He sent Gu Xuan Ce, who had left, back with other Supremes and those at the 17th Realm.

He broke through on the spot, using the incorruptible material of Sanqian Zhou to mend the injury to his life essence.

That day.

Gu Xuan Ce obtained the Sword Gate remnant immortal's origin.

He smoothly broke through to the 19th Realm.

Gu Zhan and another elder named Gu Tian, also relying on the demon‑immortal origin, burst through the bottleneck in one go, stepping into the pinnacle of the 18th Realm.

The remaining Supremes, except Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan who, due to their short breakthrough time and insufficient accumulation, only reached the mid‑stage of the 18th Realm, the other four all steadily entered the late stage of the 18th Realm.

Not to mention, among the hundred 17th Realm Sacred Dark Guards that Gu Xuan Ce brought back, eight, after observing the fall of the remnant immortals and the Dao's evolution following the Heavenly Emperor's birth, felt inspired and instantly broke through, becoming new Supremes!

This trip was hugely profitable!

When they left, there were ten Supremes.

Now, Gu Linjiang and Gu Xuan Ce have both entered the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

After subtracting the two 19th Realm Heavenly Emperors, the number of 18th Realm Supremes rose to sixteen!

Such terrifying power growth, even if placed in the Primordial Immortal Realm, would drive any immortal sect mad!

"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"

The Elder Ancestor clapped his hands and laughed heartily, feeling immensely delighted.

And at that moment, the multicolored light enveloping Gu Yuan finally began to fade slowly.

Gu Yuan awoke from days‑long cultivation.

The Elder Ancestor's laughter abruptly stopped.

He darted forward in a flash, appearing before Gu Yuan, his aged eyes glowing green, scanning his precious grandson from head to toe.

"Good grandson, you finally emerged from the realm, now let grandpa see how your cultivation is going."

The Elder Ancestor rubbed his hands, his face brimming with impatience.

While safeguarding the path for everyone, he had, through immense power and others' accounts, learned that the World Tree sapling had voluntarily thrust itself into Gu Yuan's forehead.

Such a heaven‑defying divine object recognizing its master brings benefits far beyond imagination.

Seeing his own grandfather's impatient, almost eager‑to‑peel‑him‑apart look, Gu Yuan could only find it amusing.

He stretched lazily, and the joints throughout his body crackled with a series of crisp popping sounds; an indescribable sense of comfort spread through his whole body.

Inside him, the chaotic singularity formed from the fusion of three thousand worlds slowly rotated, exuding an ancient and mighty aura.

Above the dantian's Qi Sea, the young World Tree seedling's branches swayed gently, rainbow‑colored afterglow flowed, reflecting the chaotic singularity, supporting the nascent micro‑world.

He could feel that he was now absurdly powerful.

Though his realm was only the initial merging of the first three stages, every gesture seemed able to stir the power of an entire world.

"Grandpa, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet."

Gu Yuan cleared his throat, imitating his old ancestor's tone, and said slowly.

"???"

The old ancestor's smile stiffened, and he glared, his beard fluttering, eyes narrowed at him,

"You little brat, dare to stall your grandpa? Believe it or not, I'll hang you up and beat you!"

"Hehe." Gu Yuan smiled, stopped teasing, and turned serious.

"Grandpa, I'm saying that if there were a chance now to let you freely choose an Immortal King Scripture, which would you pick?"

"Immortal King Scripture?"

The old ancestor was startled, then shook his head humorously,

"You kid, what are you thinking? Immortal King Scripture—that what kind of thing is that? Each one represents an Immortal King's Dao and method, the highest inheritance of the Immortal Realm; it's not something that just exists on demand."

"If you let me choose, will you give it to me?"

The old ancestor joked, clearly taking Gu Yuan's words as a joke,

"Enough, stop babbling. Show me your current realm."

"Grandpa, you tell me what you want first."

"You…"

The old ancestor sighed helplessly, having no way to deal with his precious grandson.

Fine, he'll just play along.

He stroked his chin and actually began to think seriously.

Beside him, newly crowned Heavenly Emperors Gu Linjiang and Gu Xuan Ce, as well as Gu Zhan among the other Supreme beings, perked up their ears in curiosity.

They were also curious what kind of Immortal King Scripture could catch the old ancestor's eye.

After a moment, a trace of reminiscence and longing flashed in the old ancestor's eyes.

"If such a chance truly existed…"

He spoke slowly, his voice becoming distant, "I would choose the 'Original Unending Scripture'."

"Original Unending Scripture?"

"Exactly."

The old ancestor nodded and explained,

"It is a supreme Dao founded in the ancient Immortal Era by an unnamed supreme Immortal King whose name has long been lost to history."

Legend says that Immortal King was among the first beings born when chaos first opened, his flesh immortal, his primordial spirit indestructible, enduring ten thousand tribulations unscathed, living as long as heaven and earth.

"The 'Original Unending Scripture' he created requires no divine abilities, no forged artifacts; it cultivates only the self, hammering flesh and primordial spirit to the extreme. Once fully realized, one becomes impervious to all laws, can press down the heavens, and every move embodies the supreme Dao."

A hint of emotion lingered in the old ancestor's eyes,

"The path I have walked shares a striking similarity with this text, but alas, the Gu Family's inheritance in the Immortal Realm only reaches the True Immortal Method; the subsequent path I must explore myself. If I could obtain the 'Original Unending Scripture' as a reference, perhaps within ten thousand years I could truly glimpse the realm of that supreme Immortal King."

Immortal Kings also differ in rank.

From Ordinary Immortal King to Jue Dian Immortal King, then to Giant‑Head Immortal King, and finally to Supreme Immortal King.

The Supreme Immortal King is the strongest tier among them!

Saying that, he smiled and patted Gu Yuan's shoulder,

"Alright, the dream's over. When our Yuan‑er rises and becomes a Supreme Immortal King, then go across the ten thousand heavens and myriad realms to fetch it for grandpa."

He never imagined Gu Yuan could produce such a thing now.

In his view, Gu Yuan's question was merely an expression of filial piety, a big promise.

To that, he felt only satisfaction.

His own grandson, having that heart, was enough.

Yet Gu Yuan, after hearing his words, nodded seriously.

Then he looked at his system.
