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

"There are gains and losses in everything."

Gu Changjin looked into the depths of the Dao Fruit, where an endless darkness slowly emerged in his perception.

In the depths of darkness, countless destinies that should have vanished seem to be rising and falling.

They had long since broken off, but whenever the Dao Fruit rotated, a very faint echo would come from those broken points.

It was as if someone, across countless years, gently knocked on the door of another world.

Gu Changjin only heard it for a moment, and then a very strange illusion appeared before his eyes.

It was as if his consciousness had left the Realm of Immortals and been dragged into a mysterious realm that did not belong to any world.

There, he will become someone else, or perhaps he will become another version of himself.

As for what one will encounter after entering, and how to leave, Daoguo did not provide any answers.

Only four barely audible words remained.

His and my echoes.

The next moment, all the strange phenomena disappeared simultaneously.

Gu Changjin stood once again in the sky above the True Immortal Realm, surrounded by celestial energy, as if nothing had ever happened.

"This... you're only given a name? The rest you have to guess?"

Gu Changjin shook his head.

However, he didn't dwell on it any longer.

Since Dao Guo only revealed this change after he stepped into the Earth Immortal realm, the things involved must not be simple.

It's enough to know that this is such a thing for now.

When you're actually pulled inside, then you'll see what's inside.

More important than something that hasn't actually happened yet is figuring out where he is now.

Gu Changjin raised his head.

In the distance, a massive city lies nestled among the mountains.

The city wall is not very high, but it seems to grow naturally from the earth and is connected to dozens of surrounding mountain ranges.

A long silver river cascades down from the mountaintop, passes through the center of the city, and then transforms into countless waterways flowing in all directions.

The fairy boat traveled along the river.

Beams of light descended from different directions toward the city gate.

There were no formations prohibiting flight above the city, but a layer of immortal runes, invisible to the naked eye, enveloped the heavens and earth, quietly discerning every aura that entered it.

Gu Changjin looked at it for a moment, and the World Heart in Guiyi Immortal Industry stirred slightly.

Several fragments of memories that were originally broken suddenly resurfaced.

"Qingyue Great Region, Linyuan Immortal City."

A hint of surprise appeared on his face.

I didn't expect that I actually had some impression of this place.

Of course, this impression did not belong to him, but came from the Earth Immortal fruit position that had been integrated into the Guiyi Immortal Cultivation.

The original owner of the position was an Earth Immortal Elder from the Mountain and River lineage of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Sect.

This person seems to have visited Lin Yuan Immortal City more than once in the past.

However, his memories were severely fragmented. Gu Changjin could only recognize the city and the domain, but what he had done here was a complete blur.

However, one thing is still clear.

In the eastern part of Lin Yuan Immortal City, there is a permanent residence of the Wanxiang Immortal Sect.

That separate courtyard was usually responsible for receiving disciples from the sect, collecting offerings from the surrounding territories, and also for the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Sect to monitor the movements of the Qingyue Great Domain.

And those stationed at the villa happened to be from the same lineage as the mountains and rivers.

"What a coincidence."

Gu Changjin's eyes flickered slightly.

Having just refined the fruit position of a terrestrial immortal from the Mountain and River lineage of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Sect, he was instantly transported by the karma within to the vicinity of a fellow lineage's outpost.

He himself doesn't believe it's all a coincidence.

Whether it's the pull of past karma or something lurking in the shadows waiting for this position to return, it's still hard to say.

Gu Changjin did not rush into the city.

His divine sense spread silently along with the celestial energy of heaven and earth, gently sweeping over the city walls, rivers, and mountains.

The Immortal City of Lin Yuan is very large.

There are quite a few True Immortals and some Mystic Immortals in the city, but there are even more cultivators who have not yet become immortals.

Judging from the fragmented memories left behind by the fruit masters, this place was once one of the most important immortal cities in the eastern part of the Qingyue Great Domain.

Twelve immortal paths outside the city connect all directions, and the immortal ships that come and go not only carry cultivators, but also transport spiritual minerals, immortal medicines and primordial spiritual objects from all over the world.

The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty established its immortal residence here.

Several nearby immortal sects have also left behind properties and places of introduction in the city.

This is precisely why information flows extremely quickly here.

Gu Changjin wanted to know what era the True Immortal Realm was in now, and what the situation was between the various immortal sects. Lin Yuan Immortal City was indeed a good place to go.

As for the aura of the Earth Immortal level, there were only two.

Deep within a celestial palace located in the center of the city, exuding a powerful aura, it was connected to the grand formation of the entire Lin Yuan Immortal City, and was most likely the city lord.

The other road is located in the east of the city.

There, surrounded by mountains, the energy of the mountains and rivers intertwined to form a sleeping behemoth, faintly echoing the wisp of energy remaining in the realm of fruition.

The Myriad Manifestations Immortal Sect has established a presence there.

Neither of the two auras was weak, yet they did not pose much of a threat to Gu Changjin.

Although he is only at the early stage of Earth Immortal, this realm is the result of his breakthrough after he forcibly broke through the true Great World by carrying the power of the Returning to One Immortal Cultivation.

Not to mention, he also possesses the Dao Fruit, the Taiyi Xuandu Sword, and countless methods accumulated over countless lifetimes.

Even among those who are both Earth Immortals, the differences can be so vast that they defy explanation.

Gu Changjin originally planned to conceal his aura, enter the city as an ordinary cultivator, and then slowly investigate the situation in the True Immortal Realm.

But now that he has actually seen the Immortal City of Lin Yuan, he has changed his mind.

He possesses strength, a high level of attainment, and an identity and karmic connection that links him to the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Sect.

Why should we act like an ordinary cultivator who has just ascended and has nothing, obediently queuing to enter the city and then subtly trying to get information from him?

That's not prudence, that's foolishness—wasting the power you have.

The order of the True Immortal Realm is based on realm and strength.

Ordinary cultivators entering Lin Yuan Immortal City need to verify their origins, pay immortal crystals, and have their souls and cultivation auras examined by the city's protective immortal mirror.

If a Xuanxian (a type of immortal) arrives, they can enter the city directly through the upper immortal gate and be received by someone from the immortal mansion.

As for Earth Immortals... they are beings capable of establishing a sect or guarding a lineage in a great region.

When such a person takes the initiative to come to your door, not only will their identity be verified, but even the people who truly have the authority in the city will have to come out to greet them personally.

This was exactly the effect Gu Changjin wanted.

He can hide his trump cards, but there's no need for him to conceal his cultivation level to the point where he has to be mindful of others' moods.

Moreover, Lin Yuan Immortal City already has two Earth Immortals stationed there.

If he conceals his presence completely and sneaks into the city unnoticed, it will be easier for people to suspect that he has ulterior motives if he is detected by the great formation or a special immortal artifact.

It's better to be open and aboveboard.

As a celestial being, one must naturally have a way of entering the city.

With that thought in mind, Gu Changjin took a step forward.

Tens of thousands of miles disappeared instantly beneath your feet.

The next moment, he appeared outside Lin Yuan Immortal City.

In front of the city gate, several celestial ships undergoing inspection stopped simultaneously.

Just as the celestial general guarding the city gate was about to speak, a vast yet not violent aura slowly rose from Gu Changjin's body.

boom!

Above the Immortal City of Lin Yuan, countless immortal runes lit up simultaneously.

The silver river that ran through the entire city suddenly came to a standstill.

The mountains murmured, and all roads yielded.

The complete Guiyi Immortal Realm was not revealed behind Gu Changjin; only a blurry pure white immortal light appeared.

However, the pressure of a true Earth Immortal, which truly embodies the power of a great realm, has already spread throughout the entire Lin Yuan Immortal City along the city's protective array.

In the center of the city, the gates of the ancient celestial palace suddenly opened with a roar.

Deep in the eastern part of the city, in the Wanxiang Villa, an old man who had been in seclusion for many years suddenly opened his eyes.

On the street, countless cultivators looked up at the same time.

The hawking cries in the market came to an abrupt halt.

Several weapon-refining buildings floating above the city simultaneously withdrew their immortal flames. Even the two Xuanxian who were arguing in front of the immortal mansion immediately shut their mouths after sensing this aura.

They didn't know the visitor's identity, nor did they know why this strange immortal had suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan Immortal City.

But everyone knows one thing.

A powerful Earth Immortal who had never appeared in the Qingyue Great Domain before has arrived.

A True Immortal who had just stepped off the celestial ship stared blankly at the figure outside the city, his expression instantly changing.

"An Earth Immortal! Where did this Earth Immortal come from?!"
