As for the Origin Island which was previously here, shrouded in brilliant light, it set sail at a great speed, heading towards an unknown chaotic zone, severing all karma connections before it left, leaving nothing behind.
Many of the strongest beings watched this scene with regret, as every corner of Origin Island was a treasure trove. Even without doing anything and simply meditating there, one could reap great benefits.
During this period, many had achieved tremendous gains, not only in their natural talents but also advancing a step further in their cultivation realms.
Even some who were at the perfect completion of the Primordial Realm and facing bottle necks at the Inquiry Stage had made breakthroughs, finally seeing the path ahead.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Gu Chen felt surprised, sensing as if there was a mysterious connection between himself and the departing Origin Island.
"Could it be that I can summon the Origin Island back?" Gu Chen was astonished.
However, according to legend, as long as a cultivator comprehends the secrets of the Origin Stone Stele, they could summon back the Origin Island. Gu Chen considered this rumor as well.
"A cultivator at the Primordial Realm might be slightly too weak to control Origin Island," Gu Chen silently contemplated for a moment and came to this conclusion.
Or rather, Origin Island itself is a naturally divine object that can be used as a weapon. If a cultivator can control it, it would be a huge aid, in some sense even surpassing Dao Weapons.
Moreover, Gu Chen had not forgotten that the supreme-level heavenly medicine was still on Origin Island. In the future, when his strength increased further, and this connection strengthened, he still had plans for that heavenly medicine.
Subsequently, a host of the strongest followed behind Gu Chen, ready to return to the Upper Realm.
"Stop right there!"
Just as they were preparing to return to the Upper Realm, a chilling voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by an unsurpassed fluctuation.
"Inquiry Stage!" A shiver ran through the hearts of several mighty beings at the Primordial Realm, as they all felt a chill.
In the vast expanse of space ahead, not too far away, there stood dozens of beings at the Inquiry Stage, not in the form of avatars but all their true bodies had arrived!
"Hiss, could it be that the Inquiry Stage from the Upper Realm has gathered here!" A Primordial Realm perfect completion powerhouse exclaimed, his pupils sharply contracting.
This scene was indeed frightening. Dozens of Inquiry Stage beings standing in the outer space, looking at them, or more precisely, at Gu Chen.
"I don’t want to waste words, Gu Chen, hand over the Source of All Worlds, and I will let you leave," said the ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan with an icy look, his radiant golden hair shining intensely, emanating an overwhelming presence.
This was Gu Chen’s first meeting with the true body of the ancient Golden Roc ancestor.
Naturally, beside him were the leaders of the Fire Sect, the chief of the Three-Eyed God Clan, the lord of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and the master of Nine Heavens Hall.
In addition, there were the patriarch of Lan Yue Lake, the head of Holding Mountain Gate, the master of Karma Fire Palace, the leader of the Ming Wang Sect, and the lord of the Great Dark Sky Palace.
It was true what they said; the Inquiry Stage beings from the Upper Realm were almost all present here, coming for the Source of All Worlds to break through to the highest level of the heavens.
Gu Chen had no intention of explaining himself to them, as none would listen anyway. Moreover, with his current strength, he had no reason to fear.
"Words are useless, if you want to fight, then I will accompany you in battle!" Gu Chen said coldly, his tone unwaveringly firm.
But the ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan had anticipated this scenario. His pupils were sharp like blade edges, and his words were dreadfully cold: "Boy, do you think this is still Origin Island? I have come in my true form, killing you would be as easy as plucking weeds!"
The leader of the Fire Sect and the others held their silence, merely watching Gu Chen with a cold gaze, their auras flowing, exerting pressure on him.
Just as Gu Chen was about to make his move, the master of Taoxu Road appeared along with the remaining questioners of the Path realm.
"Jinzhu, you’ve gone too far!" The master of Taoxu Road said coldly, unhesitatingly siding with Gu Chen.
Behind Gu Chen, a group of strong practitioners in the Primordial Realm also had unsightly expressions; they too felt that those of the Path realm were being a bit too excessive.
After all, times had changed, Gu Chen had once saved their lives, so naturally, they subconsciously stood by him.
"Since all our fellow Taoists are present, Taishi, what fault have I committed?" asked the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan, speaking indifferently.
With dozens of practitioners of the Path realm alongside him, the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan did not fear a single master of Taoxu Road.
At this time, the Clan Leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan stepped forward; he had the appearance of a middle-aged man with a straight posture, purple hair, and a pair of jade dragon horns on his forehead that were very translucent, he said: "Jinzhu, previously you thought Gu Chen’s strength was insufficient, that he was just a junior, hence you hoped he would make sacrifices, handing over the origin of myriad realms to face the Epochal Calamity. At that time, your reasoning was indeed somewhat irrefutable, but the situation is different now."
"What is different about the situation?" the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan frowned.
The Clan Leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, Ao Tian, said solemnly: "Gu Chen is no longer a mere junior; he is now on equal footing with us. His talent to control the origin of myriad realms is unquestionable. For the Epochal Calamity, it is now you who should compromise!"
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing these words, the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan let out a cold snort, and said: "With just a greenhorn, he is worthy of facing the Epochal Calamity? Ao Tian, you should first ask if the fellow Taoists behind me are willing to agree!"
The leader of the Fire Sect, the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, the lord of the Nine Heavens Hall... one after another, the questioners of the Path realm stood there silently with deep and unfathomable gazes.
Their attitude had already explained a lot.
There were also some who stood with Gu Chen among the questioners of the Path realm, but compared to the group with the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan, they were in the minority, and they did not wish to start a decisive battle between the realms of the Path at this critical juncture, as this could likely lead to the premature arrival of the Epochal Calamity.
And the Holy Gate was also watching covetously in the shadows, surely to profit from their fight.
But the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and his group did not care at all because they had only one goal today, and that was the origin of myriad realms.
"Elder, there’s no need to waste words with these fools who are lost in their delusions. They won’t listen," said Gu Chen as he stepped up next to the Clan Leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, Ao Tian. freewёbnoνel.com
Situ Yin, the head of Qingyun Academy, was also present, looking at the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and others with a cold expression.
At this moment, Gu Chen’s eyes were disdainful and domineering. He scanned over the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the crowd of Path realm questioners with no hint of fear, and spoke even more forcefully: "I can understand your desire for the origin of myriad realms, but I must say, standing together with Jinzhu and Ganli, I seriously doubt your relationship with the Holy Gate!"
"Hmm?!"
As soon as Gu Chen’s words came out, everyone present was taken aback.
The ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the leader of the Fire Sect’s expressions sank immediately, with the former retorting: "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Nonsense?" Gu Chen rebuked coldly, saying: "Your betrayal of the Upper Realm to join the Holy Gate, along with Ganli — did you really think these acts went unnoticed by gods or ghosts, that no one knew?"
"Kill Feather Lord, Lord of the Sun, your hiding has been truly deep!" Gu Chen’s eyes were harsh and sharp, sharper than a knife’s blade, as he looked at the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the leader of the Fire Sect.
Boom!
His words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, suddenly causing a tumultuous uproar amongst everyone present!
