Chapter 55
Passing through the passage constructed of endless starlight and chaotic runes,
Gu Yuan only felt that everything in front of him was strange and time and space were reversed.
This feeling lasted for less than a breath.
The next moment, the feeling of stepping on solid ground came.
A desolate and dilapidated aura rushed toward him.
Gu Yuan opened his eyes and looked around.
The sky was gray, and no sun, moon, or stars could be seen,
only huge, shocking cracks hung in the Heavenly Dome, like scars that could not heal between heaven and earth.
From those cracks, chaotic void turbulence poured down from time to time like a waterfall, making a ghost-crying sound.
The earth was dark red, as if it had been soaked in endless blood, cracked and dry, with no grass growing.
In the air, there was a rich evil spirit, resentment, and a kind of... rotten smell after the laws collapsed.
It was like a place of exile abandoned by the gods.
"Is this... Sanqian Zhou?"
Behind Gu Yuan, the figures of Gu Zhangfeng, Gu Yunlan, and others also appeared one after another.
They looked at the doomsday scene in front of them, and their brows frowned slightly.
"Such strong resentment, it seems that an extremely tragic war once took place here."
First Elder Gu Linjiang, an old man who had lived for who knows how many years, saw through the essence of this place at a glance.
"The Great Way is incomplete, the laws are chaotic... as the Young Master said, it is a broken ancient world."
Gu Xuan Ce closed his eyes, carefully sensing the law veins of this world, a trace of disgust appearing on his face.
In his view, the laws here
were like a broken house that had been demolished until only the load-bearing walls remained, full of loopholes everywhere, crumbling.
"Humph, what kind of opportunity can there be in such a bird-not-shitting place?"
A Supreme named Gu Zhan, who had a fiery temper and muscles like knots, curled his lips in disdain.
He cultivated the pure physical battle Dao,
and liked to cultivate and fight in places full of essence and energy.
This dead environment made him feel uncomfortable all over.
However, as soon as his voice fell.
"Eh?"
In the team, a Dark Guard with cultivation at the 17th Realm suddenly let out a light sound.
"What's wrong?" Gu Linjiang, who was responsible for leading the Dark Guards, swept his gaze over.
That Dark Guard had a bit of uncertainty and surprise on his face and replied:
"Reporting to the First Elder, the subordinate feels... feels that my lifespan seems to have... increased a bit?"
Lifespan, increased a bit?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Lifespan is one of the most fundamental things for a practitioner.
It will grow with the improvement of cultivation,
and will also be consumed with the passage of time.
To increase lifespan, besides breaking through large realms, there are only those legendary immortal medicines.
But now, a cultivator at the Supreme Saint realm,
standing here doing nothing, his lifespan increased by itself?
How is this possible?
"Did you sense it wrong?" Gu Zhan frowned and asked.
"Subordinate... also not sure."
That Dark Guard said quickly, "Maybe it's an illusion."
However, just then.
Another Dark Guard also made the same surprised sound.
"No! Not an illusion! I felt it too!"
"Me too! Although it's very weak, my life origin has indeed grown a bit!"
"God! What is going on?!"
For a time, all one hundred Dark Guards at the 17th Realm were shocked.
They were full of horror and incredulity, and they all looked inside themselves, carefully sensing their own changes.
As a result, the more they sensed, the more shocked they became!
Really!
Not an illusion!
Their lifespan, which had already been fixed,
and would only decrease with the passage of time,
at this moment, was actually growing at a slow speed!
You know, this is still non-autonomous cultivation,
if it were autonomous cultivation.
I'm afraid that staying here for a year would increase their lifespan by six months.
This is equivalent to their lifespan being able to increase by half here!
This time, even the ten well-informed Supremes couldn't remain calm.
"How is it possible?!"
"Could it be that the air here contains the medicinal power of immortal medicine?"
"Impossible! How precious is immortal medicine? How could it permeate the entire heaven and earth?"
They released their divine sense one after another,
carefully exploring every inch of space in this world,
trying to find the source of this mysterious power.
"This... what is this?"
Gu Linjiang, as the strongest of the ten Supremes who visited this place.
And the oldest powerhouse who was closest to the 19th Realm, quickly discovered the clue.
He stretched out a hand, and in his palm, strands of air that were invisible to the naked eye,
formless and qualityless, yet truly existing, were slowly gathering.
That air current presented a faint chaotic color,
emitting an ancient, vicissitudinous, yet full of vitality aura.
"Immortal... this is... the aura of immortality!"
Gu Linjiang's body shook violently,
and in those ancient, waveless old eyes, unprecedented brilliant light erupted!
"I understand! This is Immortal Matter!"
"Legend has it that in the Immortal Ancient Era, heaven and earth were filled with something called Immortal Matter! Living beings born in it can obtain longevity! Souls can obtain immortality!"
"Originally, the Primordial Immortal Domain also had it, but later it was gradually worn away with time, and now only True Immortals can produce a trace of Immortal Matter in their bodies!"
"So, the legend... is actually true!"
Immortal Matter!
These four words, whether it was the Supremes or the one hundred Supreme Saint Dark Guards, were all petrified on the spot!
They stared blankly at the air current in Gu Linjiang's hand, breathing.
At this moment, it became incomparably rapid!
Immortal Matter!
That legendary object that only existed in the most ancient books!
It is said that it is the foundation of the True Immortal body and the Immortal King body!
They never dreamed that one day, they would be able to see it with their own eyes, and even... personally feel this legendary divine object!
And it was... divine objects everywhere!
"Rich... really rich this time!"
Gu Zhan Supreme, who had the most fiery temper, was trembling with excitement at this moment,
he felt the Immortal Matter that permeated everything, nourishing his every inch of flesh and blood,
every cell, and only felt that his physical body was undergoing a wonderful transformation.
"Cultivating in such a place, give me ten thousand years, even if I am a Supreme, I can punch a Heavenly Emperor to death!"
"More than that!"
Gu Xuan Ce was even more excited,
"If I can analyze the laws of this place and this Immortal Matter thoroughly, my Gu Family's protective array will be immortal forever! True Immortals cannot break it!"
For a time, all the Gu Family powerhouses
fell into a huge ecstasy and shock.
The look in their eyes as they looked at this dilapidated land that they had originally disliked changed instantly.
Where is this a bird-not-shitting place of exile?
This is clearly a supreme treasure vault with immeasurable value!
However, just when everyone was going crazy.
As the absolute core of this team.
Gu Yuan just stood there quietly, without any waves on his face.
Because his feeling was completely different from others.
The moment the so-called Immortal Matter poured into his body.
His silent Longevity Immortal Body,
like a traveler who had been thirsty for billions of years,
finally saw a boundless sweet spring!
Hum——!
An unprecedented desire erupted from the deepest part of his bloodline!
The three thousand aperture worlds in his body vibrated together at this moment!
That Ten Thousand Dao Emperor Body sitting on the Dantian god,
opened its eyes abruptly, erupting with brilliant divine light!
Gu Yuan could clearly feel that
his Longevity Immortal Body was devouring the Immortal Matter between heaven and earth in a near-greedy way.
His foundation, his origin, his Dao, were all becoming more condensed and powerful at an incredible speed!
More importantly...
His lifespan!
The lifespan given by the Longevity Immortal Body, which was already several times longer than practitioners of the same realm,
at this moment, was skyrocketing crazily at a speed that could be called terrifying!
He even had an illusion.
As if, as long as he was willing, he could live like this forever.
Live until the end of the world, live until the end of the universe!
An unprecedented feeling slowly rose in his heart.
"This feeling..."
In the depths of Gu Yuan's eyes, a trace of shock and heat that even he hadn't noticed flashed.
"If... I can prove the Dao and become an immortal in this world..."
"My lifespan... perhaps, will no longer have an end!"
"Become a... true immortal! An immortal being!"
