Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"When did a worm that can devour immortal energy appear in the Seventh Pasture?"

The sound came from beyond the sea of ​​clouds.

Gu Changjin was shocked.

insect?

Are you talking about yourself?

In the mid-stage of the Mysterious Immortal realm, he devoured ten Mortal Immortals and used the entire universe as his resources before finally embarking on the path to immortality.

How could someone like me, upon arriving here, only deserve to be called an extra insect in the pastoral garden?

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Changjin's mind.

The world-building of that vast universe was remarkably similar to a novel he had read in his previous life.

So after discovering the path to immortality and seeing the higher realms, he subconsciously regarded this place as the legendary immortal realm.

He had even made many guesses about what might exist in the Immortal Realm.

The results of it?

First, they threw him into a vast grassland, then brought in an unseen being who called the vast grassland a pasture and treated this Xuanxian (mysterious immortal) as an insect.

No, isn't this a bit too far from the immortal realm he imagined?

Most importantly, after that gaze fell upon him, Gu Changjin was unable to determine just how much higher his cultivation level was than the other party's!

The gap between the two sides was so large that even his Devouring Immortal Technique could not provide accurate feedback.

"Won't this affect the ranch?"

Yun Haiwai's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of irritation.

"Forget it, let's just kill him quickly."

"If the celestial officials discover that there are insects in the pasture that feed on celestial energy, affecting this year's harvest, I will inevitably be punished again."

As soon as those words were spoken, a layer of the immortal energy within tens of thousands of miles around Gu Changjin had already been absorbed by the Devouring Immortal Cultivation.

The tall grass lost its original luster, and the sheep and wolves lying on the ground, their spirits thinned, emitted uneasy growls.

For Gu Changjin, this amount of immortal energy was hardly a real gain.

But for the person guarding the pasture, this is already destroying what he is responsible for taking care of.

The words fell.

The world went dark in an instant!

A hand reached across the pure white barrier, obscuring the entire Seventh Pasture!

Five fingers descended from the sea of ​​clouds, each one resembling a celestial pillar spanning the sky.

Between the lines of his palm, the Great Dao intertwined on its own, and wherever it passed, the rules of the Upper Realm that Gu Changjin had barely managed to mobilize actually made way for him.

There were no fancy supernatural powers or magic tricks involved; it really only had one hand.

The other party really just casually reached out, ready to crush an eyesore of an insect in the pasture!

Gu Changjin's eyelids twitched suddenly.

beat?

What a load of crap!

Thinking about crossing borders and launching a counterattack at this time is not courageous, it's just plain stupid.

"return!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Changjin's Dao Fruit trembled violently deep within his soul!

Countless Dao marks lit up simultaneously, and the coordinates belonging to the main world were instantly locked.

The cause and effect surrounding Gu Changjin began to peel away layer by layer from this world.

It can return and is not something that disappears completely in an instant.

Even for just a fleeting moment, that colossal hand that blots out the sky would be enough to crush him countless times!

The darkness behind Gu Changjin suddenly expanded.

The Devouring Immortal Realm has fully commenced!

Dozens of imperial stars lit up simultaneously, and the dark night covered the surrounding world, momentarily halting the speed at which the giant hand was about to fall.

Just a moment, but that's enough!

Gu Changjin did not stay where he was and wait for the return to be completed.

He took a step forward, and his entire body transformed into a streak of dark light, rushing straight up the grassland!

Now that the return has begun, before leaving, one should at least understand where one has come from.

boom!

The pure white barrier was instantly pierced by the black divine light.

Gu Changjin burst out of the Seventh Pasture, crossed the surging sea of ​​clouds, and continued upward!

Below, vast grasslands rapidly shrank.

The boundless pastureland that he had just imagined transformed in the blink of an eye into neatly arranged blue squares on the sea of ​​clouds.

Not just a dozen, but hundreds or even thousands!

Some ranches housed white sheep and giant deer, others were filled with crimson fairy herbs, and still others were inhabited by enormous beasts whose auras far surpassed those of the immortals of the mortal realm.

These places are all just gardens that were casually divided up in the sea of ​​clouds!

"stop!"

The voice behind them finally panicked.

He originally thought it was just a newly hatched gas-eating insect.

Who would have thought that this insect not only possessed a celestial rank, but could also break through the boundary wall of the pastoral garden in an instant!

The speed of the colossal hand suddenly increased dramatically, its five fingers closing together, causing the vast sea of ​​clouds to collapse towards the center simultaneously!

Gu Changjin did not turn around.

The Dao Fruit is just one moment away from returning.

His body has begun to become transparent.

Just as he was about to leave this place completely, Gu Changjin finally broke through to the highest point of the sea of ​​clouds.

My vision suddenly opened up!

An endless fairy island hangs in the sky.

One after another, celestial rivers cascade down from higher places, flowing past mountains and palaces, before disappearing into the endless sea of ​​clouds below.

In the distance, celestial light crisscrossed, and occasionally carriages, celestial beasts, and figures clad in armor would pass through the clouds. Every single aura made Gu Changjin's heart tighten.

At the farthest point between heaven and earth, two colossal white marble pillars with dragon patterns stand vertically, seemingly supporting the entire world!

Between the giant pillars, an ancient celestial plaque hangs in the void.

Gu Changjin had never seen the text above before.

But with just one glance, one can naturally understand its meaning.

North Heavenly Gate!

Gu Changjin's eyes widened suddenly.

North Heavenly Gate?

At this moment, many things aligned simultaneously.

What kind of bullshit immortal realm is this?!

What immortal realm at the end of the path to immortality?!

That's just a name that people in the vast universe forcibly gave to this place based on their limited knowledge and experience!

Their so-called ascension to immortality across the entire realm, their so-called crossing the path to immortality and entering the immortal realm, may have been nothing more than crawling in through a crack in the door of the Heavenly Court that no one noticed from the very beginning.

The vast grasslands where he descended were not some desolate, celestial realm.

It's just a pasture near the North Heavenly Gate, overseen by an ordinary celestial official!

Gu Changjin had only one thought left in his mind.

Those few experiences from my past life have really gotten me into serious trouble this time!

Just then, the return of the Dao Fruit was finally completed.

His figure began to completely disappear from this world.

But the giant hand that had been chasing them closed at the last moment!

His hand failed to grasp Gu Changjin, whose cause and effect had been severed by the Dao Fruit.

But my fingertips brushed against the darkness of the night that had not yet fully receded.

Click!

It's like a world being forcibly shattered.

The Devouring Immortal Realm trembled violently, and a huge crack pierced through its center from the edge!

As night fell, dozens of imperial stars dimmed simultaneously.

The vast cosmic origins that had accumulated within, yet had not yet been fully refined, were mostly shattered under this single squeeze.

Immortal achievements are the foundation that a Mystic Immortal condenses after taking control of his own Great Dao, the authority over the world, and all the rules.

Damage to one's immortal cultivation is entirely different from injury to one's physical body.

That hand crushed not a divine power, but a part of Gu Changjin’s immortal foundation that had been fully formed after hundreds of years of accumulation in the Xuanheng Great Universe!

If Dao Guo hadn't severed the causal link between the two at the last moment, this pinch might have even landed directly on his soul and the Great Dao along with the Immortal Karma!

Gu Changjin was in excruciating pain, but his figure finally disappeared from this world before the giant hand completely closed!

Where are they?!

As the sea of ​​clouds parted, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe of a celestial official, with a Shepherd's Garden token hanging from his waist, finally revealed himself.

He was not some important figure in the Heavenly Court at all; he was just an ordinary celestial official responsible for looking after this pasture.

But at this moment, the celestial official's expression was one of utter panic.

His divine senses enveloped the extremely small space around him.

Once, ten times, dozens of times! Scanning it inch by inch.

The insect that suddenly appeared in the pasture seemed to have never existed before.

As the celestial official looked at the broken boundary wall of the Seventh Pasture, his face gradually turned pale.

"broken……"

……

The main world.

Fire Virtue Immortal Palace, Flame Suppressing Hall.

Gu Changjin, who was sitting cross-legged deep in the main hall, suddenly opened his eyes!

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the light of the Dao Fruit flickered wildly.

The damaged Devouring Immortal Business was forcibly absorbed into it, and a large amount of power that had not yet had time to replenish its original body was also temporarily sealed deep within the Dao Fruit along with the damage to the Immortal Business.

Gu Changjin's face paled slightly, and he remained silent for several breaths.

All that remained in my mind were the two colossal dragon-patterned pillars that stretched between heaven and earth, and the three characters on the immortal plaque.

Then, he couldn't help but curse.

"Empiricism is a killer!"

"No, how could it be this Immortal Realm?"

"That's clearly the Heavenly Court!"

"No wonder it's so perverted!"
