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

Huode Immortal Palace.

A long bridge paved with crimson jade spans the sea of ​​stars, leading to the ancient palace at the very center.

Gu Changjin, holding the imperial edict, walked slowly across the bridge.

He did not tear through the void, nor did he activate his escape light.

They just slowly moved forward, step by step.

The stars beneath the bridge slowly shifted, and countless fire-attribute Dao patterns intertwined in the void, occasionally condensing into a fire-attribute immortal bird, before quickly dispersing back into the sky full of firelight.

Meanwhile, information about the Fire Virtue Immortal Palace Master kept surfacing in Gu Changjin's mind.

Information about this person is scarce, even abnormally scarce.

The Fire Virtue Immortal Palace has existed for tens of thousands of years.

When it was first established, the palace master was already sitting in the position he is in now.

In his early years, he also appeared several times to participate in the division of the various realms of the Immortal Palace and presided over several major battles.

However, as time went on, the number of times this palace master appeared became less and less.

In the last tens of thousands of years, they have almost completely disappeared from the sight of all living beings.

All affairs, large and small, of the Fire Virtue Immortal Palace are handled by the two deputy palace masters and the palace's own rules.

Even the true immortals in the celestial palace may not have actually seen this palace master.

As for his identity, no one can say for sure.

Some say he was among the earliest true immortals of the human race.

Some say that he is not human at all, but a primordial fire spirit, or even an ancient being from a fire-attribute alien race who has survived to this day.

There are many rumors, but none of them have been confirmed.

The only thing that can be confirmed is...

For tens of thousands of years, no matter how the internal workings of the Fire Virtue Immortal Palace changed, this Palace Master remained firmly in his position, and no one could shake his position.

Thinking of this, Gu Changjin's face showed no awe, but rather a hint of amusement.

"It's not that I don't want to show my face, but that I can't leave whenever I want?"

He used to think that these old things who had lived for tens of thousands of years liked to hide in the shadows and plot.

Now that I've returned to the main world, and combined with the method of clan destiny transformation given by the Demon Ancestor, as well as everything I saw in the Heavenly Court's Pasture Garden, many things have become clear.

Occupying the position of the origin of heaven and earth can indeed grant power far exceeding the limits of ordinary true immortals.

There are gains and losses in everything.

You filled the missing source of the world and became part of the rules of heaven and earth.

How could Heaven and Earth let you leave so easily?

Such is the Lord of the Fire Virtue Immortal Palace.

The masters of the other four celestial palaces—Gold, Wood, Water, and Earth—are probably similar.

Further up, there are the ancient beings of the Four Celestial Palaces, who have been absent for years, and the master of the main palace at the very top...

Each of them only had their subordinates maintain the operation of the celestial palace, while they themselves had not shown their faces for tens of thousands of years.

Is it really such a coincidence that everyone likes to go into seclusion?

Gu Changjin didn't believe it.

Rather than retreating into seclusion, he preferred to believe that these people had become part of some kind of origin or concept of heaven and earth, firmly anchored to their respective positions.

"If that's really the case..."

Gu Changjin's lips curled up slightly.

That would actually be a good thing for him.

Each one was fixed in their own position, separated by different palace domains.

What's the difference between this and dishes that have already been plated and arranged?

Of course, speculation is just speculation.

We'll soon find out the answer.

Because the main temple of the Fire Virtue is already very close.

Gu Changjin's steps remained slow.

At this moment, his consciousness sank into the depths of the Dao Fruit.

The damaged Devouring Immortal Realm floated there quietly.

In the center of the dark night, the huge crack created by the Heavenly Garden Official was still conspicuous.

Dozens of imperial stars flickered intermittently, and more than half of the rule structure fell silent.

Gu Changjin watched for a while, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I'm still too curious."

If at that time, instead of thinking about rushing out of the pasture to see what that so-called immortal realm was, they would have directly returned.

That hand couldn't touch him at all.

As a result, we did see the North Heavenly Gate.

The price was that his newly formed Xuanxian Immortal Achievement was almost crushed by someone.

but……

Gu Changjin's gaze quickly shifted to the area around the Dao Fruit.

An ocean formed from pure white principles is flowing quietly there.

These principles of unity are one of the greatest gains for all beings in this vast universe.

Before entering the Great Universe, Gu Changjin had already burned all ten of the Dao of Returning to One in his hands to push the main world's body into the Great Ascension stage.

The ancient star Xuanheng was dead and silent, rewriting the imperial path and the fate of the universe, and obtaining the Ten Paths.

It devoured dozens of quasi-emperors and imperial weapons who opposed the Imperial Court, and obtained ten more.

He ushered in the era of humanity, seized the fortune of an entire era, and obtained thirty more paths.

Before the end, there were fifty questions in total.

Finally, the cycle of fate that swallowed all the emperors and severed all living beings, myriad paths, and the great universe was condensed into five hundred and ninety-eight paths at once!

Add them all up.

All 648 paths converge into one principle!

No wonder it looks like a sea.

Gu Changjin couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

What is the Dao?

Isn't the principle of Tao meant to be used?

If you just pile them up next to the Dao Fruit and watch them, do you think they'll spontaneously generate more?

In the main world, the normal path to immortality ends once one reaches the limit of True Immortal.

If you want to continue to grow stronger, you either need to be like those old guys and occupy the position of the origin of heaven and earth.

Alternatively, one could become like the Demon Ancestor, refining oneself into a symbol of a race between heaven and earth.

But Gu Changjin doesn't need it.

He's not really limited to the limits of a True Immortal.

He is a true Xuanxian who has walked the complete path of Xuanxian and condensed the power of devouring immortality!

The immortal realm is now damaged.

Why not just fix it?

The thought settled.

A pure white streak rose from the ocean and fell directly towards the rift in the center of the Devouring Immortal Realm.

hum!

Instead of dissolving upon returning to the Dao, it transforms into the purest blank rules, gradually filling the gaps along the broken structure of the immortal realm.

One, ten, fifty!

The cracks in the dark night sky rapidly shrank, and the dim imperial stars lit up one after another.

Until the hundredth path returns to the first path, then it falls.

Click!

The last crack completely closed up.

The long-silent darkness of night suddenly unfolded, and dozens of imperial stars shone brightly at the same time!

The complete Devouring Immortal Cultivation has reappeared!

A power far exceeding the limits of a true immortal instantly returned to Gu Changjin's body.

It's not about breaking through again.

He was simply reclaiming the realm that rightfully belonged to him.

The middle stage of Xuanxian!

The world of the main world cannot provide ordinary True Immortals with the rules of the Profound Immortal level, so those talents can only seize the origin and occupy the clan's fortune.

But Gu Changjin's immortal career had already taken shape.

He doesn't need to borrow a path from the main world.

You yourself are the universe!

The light of the Dao Fruit flickered slightly, completely suppressing all fluctuations.

To outsiders, he was still just the True Immortal in the early stage, the Flame Suppressing Immortal Official, who had only recently broken through to the next level.

No one knew that in this short journey, he had regained the power of a mid-stage Xuanxian.

Gu Changjin glanced at the remaining Dao of Return.

Five hundred and forty-eight is still a reassuring number.

"Every loss has its gain."

Gu Changjin smiled, his consciousness returning to reality.

If all one hundred paths converge into one, one can regain the complete Devouring Immortal Cultivation and the strength of a mid-stage Profound Immortal.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

As for what comes next...

Gu Changjin stopped and slowly looked up.

The main hall of the Fire Virtue Temple has now appeared before us.

The entire palace was unguarded, and no celestial messengers came and went.

The two crimson gold palace doors, which had been sealed for countless years, emitted a deep rumble the moment his gaze fell upon them.

Rumble!

The palace doors slowly opened to both sides.

An ancient, fiery, yet somewhat decaying aura silently emanated from the dark temple.

"Zhenyan, come in."

Gu Changjin looked into the hall, his smile growing even more gentle.

He was even starting to look forward to it.

The rewards for restoring the immortal realm have been obtained.

And the next reward seems to be waiting for him inside.
