Sheng Fu

The world of Gu Long.

Above the clouds, Yuwen Jun suddenly felt the chaotic imperial energy fading from the Origin Chip he had given to Chu Yu and the Primordial Spirit Cat. He slowly opened his eyes, and ripples spread across his heart.

Gain and loss are but a fleeting moment.

His mind was in turmoil. The laws of the entire Ancient Dragon World were becoming more and more perfect. Imperceptibly, Yuwen Jun's realm had reached the late stage of Wuji.

Chu Yu and his group conducted a secret investigation, while Yuwen Jun cultivated himself, silently undergoing profound transformations. This perfect plan has been disrupted.

With a change of heart, Yuwen Jun left the world of Gu Long.

The human race, inside the Moon Gazing Pavilion on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

As a young man, Yuwen Jun once drew his sword against Empress Fuyao in this pavilion.

Many things have happened in this pavilion, and many important people have come and gone.

At this moment, Chu Yu, the nameless old man, Heng Yun, Lang Feng, and Chang Le gathered in the pavilion, their faces filled with melancholy.

Chu Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and anger and grief surged within him. He watched helplessly as the Ancient Spirit Cat perished, and he was powerless to do anything about it. This feeling was truly painful.

The four members of the Taoist Xuanzong sect were like eggplants that had been hit by frost. Although their minds remained firm and stable, they could not digest this direct defeat in a short time.

They possessed high cultivation levels and were among the strongest dozen or so people in the world.

But before the God Emperor, they were like clay chickens and earthen dogs.

The reason they fled to the human capital was because the Human Emperor was there, and at present, the only person capable of rivaling the God Emperor was the Human Emperor.

Although the God Emperor's strength surpasses that of the Human Emperor, he would never dare to come directly to the heart of the human race at this critical juncture and engage in a life-or-death battle with the Human Emperor.

Chu Yu lowered her head, remained silent, and tears streamed down her face.

The nameless old man had a listless and sorrowful look in his eyes. He looked up casually and found that Yuwen Jun was already standing behind Chu Yu. He didn't know when Yuwen Jun had arrived, as if he had always been there.

Hengyun, Langfeng, and Changle also noticed something amiss and cast incredulous glances at Yuwen Jun.

Just as he was about to rise and bow, Yuwen Jun pressed his hand down, indicating that there was no need for excessive formalities at this moment.

Yuwen Jun looked around, but he couldn't find the Ancient Spirit Cat.

At that moment, Yuwen Jun's heart clenched painfully.

His right hand rested limply on Chu Yu's shoulder, and he asked softly, "Is it the God Emperor?"

Chu Yu was startled by the sudden whisper. She turned around and saw her elder brother looking heartbroken, on the verge of tears.

Chu Yu suppressed her grief, her neck veins bulging, and choked out, "We were ambushed by the God Emperor, and we lost our Origin Chip. To save us, Senior Spirit Cat burned her life essence to forcibly tear open a gap in the Primordial Field, allowing us to escape safely."

As she spoke, Chu Yu could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears with her head down.

Young people's emotions are like a surging river, so how can they be easily controlled?

Yuwen Jun remained expressionless, forcing herself to remain calm, but tears still involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

The nameless old man lightly raised his finger, and a tiny rune flowed into Yuwen Jun's brow.

"It marched on stubbornly and forcefully, and it completely changed the face of the God Emperor."

After the runes surged into his brow, the specific scene of the Ancient Spirit Cat's final battle appeared in Yuwen Jun's mind, and the Ancient Spirit Cat's last words were like many needles piercing his heart.

That claw strike left five deep, bone-revealing blood grooves on the God Emperor's face.

The cat, who had been timid all its life, must have felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and satisfaction upon its passing, having achieved such a feat.

Yuwen Jun raised her hand to wipe away her tears, a thousand words welling up in her chest, yet she didn't know how to express them. "It's just a mere Origin Chip, why make such a fuss?" Yuwen Jun silently lowered her head, her voice soft and weak.

Hengyun said with deep remorse, "It only chose to fight desperately so that we could survive."

If it weren't for the Ancient Spirit Cat's desperate fight, they would have been completely wiped out.

However, the four members of the Taoist Xuanzong sect had little interaction with the Primordial Spirit Cat.

There was no deep relationship between Chu Yu and the Primordial Spirit Cat.

To have such comrades-in-arms in one's lifetime is such a blessing.

In the end, it was the most timid cat who sacrificed everything for the greater good.

The nameless old man looked at Yuwen Jun, who was now deeply saddened, and asked with a slightly stunned expression, "You have already reached Wuji?"

Hengyun, Langfeng, and Changle also noticed something amiss and all looked at each other with disbelief.

Not only did he reach the Wuji realm, but he was also in the late Wuji stage.

Yuwen Jun bit his tongue, forcing himself to calm down with the intense pain. He absolutely could not lose his composure now. If he did, the Primordial Spirit Cat would have died in vain, and all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

"I'll take you somewhere first," Yuwen Jun said, suppressing his emotions.

Before the nameless old man could react, the group found themselves in a remote part of the Ancient Dragon World.

On a deserted island.

The six sat on the ground. The nameless old man subconsciously sensed the changes in the mountains and rivers around him, and suddenly felt his mind clear and his true energy circulated freely within his body, aligning with the Dao.

The same applies to Hengyun, Langfeng, and Changle.

Yuwen Jun gazed into the depths of the clouds, his expression a mixture of sorrow and joy. "This is the last refuge of the Dragon Clan. My master has passed away peacefully in his old age."

"Hopefully, this place will become our place of rise."

Upon hearing that his elder brother's master had passed away, Chu Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuwen Jun with disbelief. At that moment, Chu Yu felt as if his heart had been struck by a powerful blunt weapon.

Yuwen Jun's eyes reddened as he said, "We're still on the road, and we have to grit our teeth and keep going. We can't afford to lose this time."

The nameless old man gradually calmed down and took a deep breath, saying, "Chu Yu and the Primordial Spirit Cat discovered three unusual spatial fluctuations deep within the Qingming Great River."

"This is the most valuable piece of intelligence so far."

"But there is an ancient beast there whose strength is no less than that of Yinglong, so we did not take any action."

"With your current level of cultivation, after absorbing three void marks, you can easily master the Great Void Technique."

Yuwen Jun fell into deep thought, recalling his conversation with Senior Yan Lie. Senior Yan Lie had said that with the current level of the God Emperor, as long as he had one or two more Origin Chips to enhance him, he would be able to touch the threshold of the Myriad Realms.

The God Emperor has already acquired two Origin Chips.

Yuwen Jun no longer intended to speculate, and simply assumed that the Divine Emperor would inevitably enter the Half-Step Myriad Realms.

"This matter is not urgent. With my current strength, going to the Qingming Great River to collect three void marks is as easy as taking candy from a baby. However, there is another matter that requires the four of you to carefully deduce and calculate."

The nameless old man said with certainty, "Speak freely."

Yuwen Jun said solemnly, "Now I still have three Origin Chips and a certain seal. The seal is complete, but the number of Origin Chips is insufficient. The Great Dao Laws of the Ancient Dragon World are still evolving. I have also taken advantage of this opportunity to successfully enter the late stage of the Limitless Realm."

"You should carefully analyze this great path and calculate whether I can successfully enter the half-step myriad realms with the support of the three Origin Chips. If I can, we will settle down in a corner and prepare for the next move. If not, I will take the next step."

In truth, Yuwen Jun could vaguely sense that, given a long period of time, he too could naturally reach the half-step of the Myriad Ends, but the situation did not allow him to cultivate in silence. Only by achieving early success could he break through this age-old impasse. (End of Chapter)
