My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

The fairy boat traveled smoothly through the air, with the sea of ​​clouds and mountains rushing past the window.

Gu Changyuan held Gu Xing'er, who had somehow climbed onto his lap again and was now playing with a strand of his hair, while looking ahead.

We will arrive tomorrow.

A thousand years later, we return to the same place.

I wonder if all the little ones are alright?

Just as Gu Changyuan's thoughts drifted away—

Gu Xing'er, who was lying on his lap and quietly watching the night view, suddenly experienced a subtle change in her aura.

The spiritual energy began to accelerate its circulation on its own, and the Qi Refining stage spiritual energy vortex in the dantian, which had already reached perfection, was spontaneously compressed and condensed, transforming into a more stable and powerful form.

Gu Changyuan noticed it instantly and almost simultaneously placed his right hand gently on Xing'er's forehead.

With a slight probe of his divine sense, he understood.

We're about to break through.

From the Qi Refining Perfection stage, one breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Beyond the celestial vessel, in the sky above, countless stars shone exceptionally brightly.

A trace of star power, invisible to the naked eye yet incredibly pure, was drawn to Gu Xing'er's "Chaotic Star Spirit Body".

It was quietly seeping through the protection of the immortal boat, flowing into her body, nourishing her meridians and dantian, and accelerating the foundation-building process.

Gu Changyuan could sense that Xing'er's breakthrough was exceptionally smooth, almost like a natural progression.

The Chaos Star Spirit Body is naturally close to the Great Dao of Stars, and breaking through on this night with abundant star power will be twice as effective.

After a short while, the fluctuations in spiritual energy gradually stabilized, and Gu Xing'er's aura became completely stable at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

An eight-year-old Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is an extremely rare and exceptional individual, practically a phoenix feather in the entire Nine Heavens Continent.

Looking at the sleeping little girl beside him, Gu Changyuan couldn't help but think of his ten disciples from back then, and sighed inwardly:

When he took them as his disciples, they were all over eight years old. Moreover, he had just established the Celestial Human Sect and was penniless. He had no valuable resources at all and was truly penniless.

If the system hadn't happened to find Ye Qingxue, who was closest to Gu Changyuan and could begin cultivating, Gu Changyuan wouldn't know where to find a disciple.

It's important to understand that Gu Changyuan was just an ordinary person at the time; if the distance was too great, it would be questionable whether he could even sense it.

Fortunately, he met Ye Qingxue, who was homeless and a little beggar at the time, and who also had a rare talent of level ten, which led him to embark on the path of cultivation.

Ye Qingxue became the first disciple of the Celestial Human Sect and should also be the first ancestor of the Celestial Human Holy Land.

We didn't have such conditions back then. Their current achievements are due to their own hard work, except for the basic resources I provided.

Unlike you, little girl, who has a wealth of resources at your disposal right after awakening your physique, making breakthroughs so easy.

Gu Changyuan thought to himself, looking at the sleeping little girl beside him, and gently raised his hand to tap Gu Xing'er's head.

......

Time passed quietly as the fairy boat flew smoothly.

By the time the outline of a majestic city appeared on the distant horizon, it was already broad daylight.

This is the core city within the sphere of influence of the Celestial Holy Land—Celestial City.

On the city wall, the figures of patrolling cultivators could be vaguely seen, and their auras were all quite strong.

Even more striking is the enormous, softly glowing phantom of an array suspended above the city, resembling a blooming lotus flower, slowly rotating and enveloping the entire city.

That was a powerful city-protecting formation, not only incredibly defensive, but also capable of detection, early warning, and purification.

This city was specially built by the Celestial Holy Land as a gathering and trading place for its disciples. On ordinary days, it is used for disciples from both inside and outside the Holy Land to exchange goods and services. Whenever the Heavenly Abyss Holy Ceremony is held, it becomes a resting place for visiting cultivators who come to participate.

After all, the Heavenly Abyss Holy Scripture lasts for three days, starting at sunrise and ending at sunset each day. There are no assessments at night, so cultivators who arrive late or need to rest during the assessment breaks will choose to stay in the Heavenly City.

"This place is also known as the safest city in the Eastern Region. Any form of private fighting, looting, or even malicious provocation is strictly prohibited. Violators will be severely punished by the Holy Land."

Su Tianhui pointed to the city and continued his introduction, his tone filled with pride:

"In the early years, there was a sect with a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage in charge. Relying on its strength, it caused trouble in the Celestial City, injuring many disciples of the Celestial Holy Land and cultivators of the Law Enforcement Hall."

As soon as the news reached Tianyuan Mountain, the Heavenly Human Holy Land immediately dispatched two patriarchs and elders of all levels to uproot and completely annihilate the sect with swift and decisive measures.

Since then, no force or cultivator has dared to act recklessly in Celestial City; the order here is far more stable than in other cities.

Gu Changyuan nodded slightly. His swift and decisive actions established his authority in the world.

This style of doing things is quite reminiscent of his younger days.

Gu Changyuan maneuvered the immortal boat and slowly brought it to a stop in the air ten miles from the city gate.

Let's say goodbye here.

Gu Changyuan said to the Su family members. His "ride" on this trip has come to an end. From now on, he will enter the Holy Land in his own way.

"Thank you so much for your guidance along the way, senior!"

Su Yunhao, Su Tianhui, Su Wanqing and the others quickly bowed and paid their respects. Although they were extremely reluctant to part with him and wanted him to stay, they knew that this senior had his own rules and dared not force him.

"Wanqing will certainly work hard and live up to the expectations of her seniors!"

Su Wanqing's eyes reddened slightly as she bowed deeply in gratitude once more.

She knew that if it weren't for Senior Gu, she would never have been able to stand outside the gates of this holy city in such a completely new light.

Gu Changyuan nodded and said no more.

He took Gu Xing'er's small hand, took a step, and his figure disappeared from the deck of the fairy boat.

The entire Su family was escorted to the city gate, while the enormous immortal ship was casually put away by Gu Changyuan and disappeared without a trace.

At the city gate, the crowds were dense.

Cultivators of all races, independent cultivators, and scions of noble families, whether traveling alone or in groups, riding flying horses or using magical artifacts, passed through the checkpoints in an endless stream and entered the city.

The order was maintained, and no one dared to cause any disturbance.

Gu Changyuan neither queued nor revealed any cultivation level.

He simply led Gu Xing'er by the hand, as if strolling leisurely, directly passing through the inspection array and guards at the city gate—those arrays and guards were useless to him.

Upon entering the Celestial City, a sense of bustling activity and prosperity immediately envelops you.

The wide and clean streets are lined with shops, with flags fluttering in the breeze.

There are cultivation shops selling pills, magic weapons, and talismans; restaurants and teahouses offering spiritual food and wine; merchant guilds that buy materials and post missions; and cave dwellings and courtyards for cultivators to rent temporarily.
