Primordial Qi

In front of the huge mansion, Qin Ming's hands hung limply. The young man Qin Ping cried and called out "Ancestor", trying to call back his soul, but to no avail.

Gu Chenyu's heart suddenly tightened. The death of a monarch-level cultivator was no different from that of an ordinary person. They would all die one day.

"Qin Ming has also reached the Monarch Realm, so how come his life span is not as good as that of the Monarch Realm cultivators of later generations? I heard that the Monarch Realm cultivators who died peacefully could live up to 5,000 years old."

Although he was puzzled, he continued reading. He saw that time passed quickly and thousands of years had passed in a flash.

The heaven and earth changed dramatically, many ruins fell from the sky, and many strange things popped out from the ground. It seemed that the world was about to be destroyed.

"Is this... the third spiritual energy revival? Things hidden in the void fell, things underground came out, cultivation was improved, king-level cultivators were born, and the dynasty began to be established."

As time passed, Gu Chenyu observed the changes. The sect was far superior to the dynasty. If they were not careful, the cultivators would destroy the country. He suddenly understood why the Dawu Dynasty suppressed the sects and restricted their development. It took tens of thousands of years before the sects were allowed to exist again...

"The first time the spiritual energy revived, a cultivator at the Heavenly Man level appeared. The second time, a cultivator at the Monarch level appeared. The third time, a cultivator at the Prince level appeared. So will there be a fourth and fifth time?"

Gu Chenyu's heart was greatly shocked. Great world, great world, he seemed to know what the great world they were talking about was. It was unknown how many times the spiritual energy had revived, but what was certain was that the great world they were waiting for should be the next revival of spiritual energy.

"Great world...Supreme..."

He already had some understanding in his mind. Gu Chenyu knew about the existence of the Great World. He speculated in his mind that those ancient cultivators were waiting for the revival of spiritual power that could carry them to the Supreme Realm.

After calculating the time, it will probably take ten thousand years for the great era to come.

Gu Chenyu rubbed his temples. He had a headache. The time for the spiritual power to recover was full of uncertainty. It was not accurate to estimate it to be 10,000 years. It might even come earlier. Above the Imperial Realm was the Supreme. By then, there would definitely be blood and gore. It was not impossible for the world to change hands...

He looked up, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Come out, I know you already have spirituality, and you let me see these things!"

A spirit of an artifact walked out, and it looked like the jade pendant. It floated into Gu Chenyu's hand, wanting to recognize him as its master.

"Go away. I don't know whether you are good or bad to me. You are not a good person to trap me here. Hurry up and let me out."

Gu Chenyu kicked the weapon spirit fiercely, almost breaking it into pieces. The weapon spirit cried out in fear, and then transformed into an old man who looked exactly like the first old man. He said, "Young man, spare my life. I have no ill will towards you."

"Why would you trap me here if you have no ill intentions?"

The spirit of the weapon gave a bitter smile. It had no choice but to seek shelter. Its spiritual consciousness had long been on the verge of collapse.

"Young hero..."

"Don't play the victim, it's useless. You have to show enough value, otherwise you will definitely die! You don't have to question my methods." The soul fire was burning, and Gu Chenyu was not worried that this thing could pose a threat to him.

"This..., I can pass on to you the supreme magical power."

"I don't need it. Besides, you are not a spirit of an artifact." Gu Chenyu said suddenly, staring straight at the old man, causing him to finally sigh.

"Well, it's time and fate. I should have disappeared. It's just that by chance, my soul was absorbed by the jade pendant before I died. I have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years."

"If this is the beginning of the revival of the first spiritual energy, it must have been at least 80,000 years ago. Old man, you don't look like a pushover!"

Gu Chenyu took a few steps forward. He felt the existence of his physical body. With a thought, he left this place. The warm jade pendant in his hand came to his sea of consciousness. Several powerful auras swept over it, almost wiping out his true spirit.

"My friend... this is truly a great opportunity. I, an old man, am convinced."

"Well, I'm glad you've given in. Otherwise, I'd be a little worried that you'd want to take over my body."

The old man felt depressed. Not to mention those auras, he couldn't even withstand the fire of his soul. In order to save his life, he didn't dare to peek at those powerful auras, for fear that he would be reduced to ashes.

"Although I have only cultivated to the level of a celestial being, I have never done anything to possess another's body. Although I am not a good person, I have never done anything to harm the world. The cause and effect of the past have been resolved. Please, my friend..."

"What does the past have to do with me? What does it have to do with who you are? I am only interested in your value now. If you are suddenly useless, I don't mind losing it again."

Gu Chenyu looked nonchalant, and the soul fire in his hand became more and more condensed, obviously threatening him.

The old man was startled. This time he had to wipe out his true spirit, and then he threw it away. He immediately said seriously: "This jade is what I got in a cave. It is also the fundamental reason for my fast cultivation speed. This thing can actively condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can absorb the power when needed."

"Well, what else?"

"This jade...is a world of its own, capable of containing souls."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Gu Chenyu asked with interest.

"This is a function I discovered after I died. After my soul entered here, I spent a long time exploring it before I knew its function. It seems to be related to the Immortal Path."

Gu Chenyu clapped his hands. This guy finally said something useful. He waved his hands and his sea of consciousness changed. It turned out to be an attic. Gu Chenyu took two leaves of the Spirit Tree to make tea and made a gesture of invitation: "Senior, you are knowledgeable and experienced. You must have a good chat with me. How about we discuss the Dao?"

"My name is Wu Kaiyang. People call me Old Ancestor Kaiyang. You can just call me Senior Wu."

Wu Kaiyang took a sip of tea and felt a shock to his spirit. His soul power was greatly replenished and his whole spirit became more solid.

"Little friend, what are you..."

"It's just a trick from later times, not worth mentioning."

Gu Chenyu shook his head, obviously unwilling to say more, and Wu Kaiyang was also quite tactful and did not ask more questions. This guy may have lived for 80,000 years, but he is as smart as a person who can't be any older.

"Tell me about the Immortal Path. What is it all about?" Gu Chenyu asked directly. He didn't want to know anything else, but he was quite interested in this.

"It's a long story..."

"Then let's make a long story short."

Wu Kaiyang was a little speechless. How could he make this short? He paused, thought for a moment and said, "This is related to the first revival of spiritual energy. Perhaps, this is the origin of the Immortal Path."

"Origin? Please continue. I will listen carefully. Don't worry, I will not hurt you. I will even meet some of your requests."

"Well, my friend, listen to me slowly. According to my observation, spiritual energy of all sizes has revived eight times, but the most profound changes are two of them. The first one was the golden spiritual rain, which made all things seem to have evolved. From then on, cultivators were able to possess the power to seize the fortune of heaven and earth..."

"The second time was when the laws appeared. The heaven and earth underwent a huge change. Many things in the void were exposed. The general situation in the world changed. The landforms, mountains, rivers, oceans, and even the sky all underwent drastic changes..."

"These two times were the true origin of the changes. During the first major change, I saw the Immortal Palace, the Ladder to Heaven, and the Path to Immortality..."

Wu Kaiyang continued to narrate, and Gu Chenyu was so shocked that he could not speak. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was shocking enough. There were immortals in the world, and immortals had wanted to come to the world, but it was a pity that the path to becoming an immortal was cut off, and people in later generations could not ascend...
