Chapter 1517: Chapter 366: The Whereabouts of the Last Jade Piece (Three Updates of Ten Thousand Words, Please Subscribe!)
"Origin of the myriad worlds?" Gu Chen was astonished, his heart trembled.
It took Qingyun Academy’s Dean Situ Yin some time to calm his emotions before he spoke in a deep voice, "Indeed, Origin Isle is the starting point of all epochs, the source of the myriad worlds we live in. Every single thing, in the earliest period, the oldest era, at the beginning of the heavens and earth, all originated from there!"
After Dean Situ Yin’s detailed explanation, Gu Chen finally understood what the so-called Origin Isle was.
"The starting point of all things in the myriad worlds!" His expression also became extremely solemn.
No wonder, the Dean had just said this was an opportunity that would drive even the highest of realms into frenzy.
Origin Isle, stemming from the very beginning, is just as its name implies, the origin of everything, the root of all things and the myriad worlds.
Legend has it that in the chaotic age before the myriad worlds were opened, as the Heavenly Dao operated, Origin Isle appeared first. It is the source of all, piercing through the chaos and darkness, breaking the stalemate that lasted for endless eons, measured in hundreds of millions of years, allowing life to emerge in this world.
The history of the myriad worlds began with Origin Isle, it is the oldest place in name and actuality!
After nurturing the first batch of innate gods and demons, Origin Isle disappeared without a trace, completely vanishing from sight, and since then, no matter how time flowed, it never reappeared.
"Therein must contain the ultimate opportunity, capable of even allowing cultivators to break through to the supreme realm of the myriad worlds!" Dean Situ Yin’s voice was hoarse with excitement.
"Perhaps, the so-called origin of the myriad worlds lies on Origin Isle, I truly did not expect that in this lifetime, even this legendary opportunity would emerge," Dean Situ Yin muttered to himself.
"The origin of the myriad worlds?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.
At the same time, in the entire upper realm, those supreme figures in the Ascension Realm and a few of the strongest beings have also confirmed this point.
"It can’t be wrong, that is definitely the legendary Origin Isle from the myths!"
"The energy and spirit of the 3,600 domains in the upper realm are revitalized, this is the power of the Origin Light, there can’t be a mistake!"
The Origin Light, symbolizing the power of all beginnings, could only be so miraculous.
And the oldest records state that the Origin Light belongs only to Origin Isle, nowhere else does it exist.
"Origin Isle might contain the legacies of those early innate gods and demons, those that later generations called immortals or gods, all belonging to the supreme realm!"
"Perhaps even the origin of the myriad worlds is within it!"
When news of Origin Isle began to spread, the entire upper realm experienced a seismic shock, descending into complete madness and uproar.
Mainly because in this lifetime, the supreme beings of the myriad worlds did not reveal themselves, and all the powerful beings thought the opportunity was in the Holy Realm, but it was not.
Now, with the appearance of Origin Isle, everyone believed that their hope of achieving the supreme lay within it.
"Origin Isle, containing the origin of the myriad worlds, nothing could be more suitable, it absolutely lies within!"
For a moment, the supreme figures of the Ascension Realm and all the strongest beings were exhilarated, their faces brimming with indescribable joy.
This time, even the ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan and the other four started to doubt, wondering if they had indeed guessed wrong before, that the origin of the myriad worlds wasn’t on Gu Chen?
...
At Saint Sect Headquarters, within the Demon Mountain Hall.
The other eight Venerables had gathered again at the summons of Bloodslaughter Venerable.
This time, their expressions were very grave.
Bloodslaughter Venerable looked around and said, "The Saint Lord, who was in isolation, spoke; we can’t miss Origin Isle. He has instructed us to find a way to send the eighteen Saint Envoys in, to seize the grand opportunity for our benefit!"
Underworld Venerable frowned and said, "With the appearance of Origin Isle, it represents an indescribable opportunity for us, why can’t we go in as well?"
The other seven Venerables also looked towards Bloodslaughter Venerable upon hearing this; they were all unwilling to give up on this chance.
Bloodslaughter Venerable chuckled and said, "Not just you, the Ascension Realm beings of the upper realm also have no opportunity to enter."
"Why is that?" the Venerables like Underworld Venerable asked, puzzled.
But then, Bloodslaughter Venerable announced a piece of news that shocked everyone.
"Because, the Saint Lord has sensed that the Demon Emperors of the Netherworld are gradually Awakening. When the Demon Emperors revive, it won’t be long before that Ancestral Being Awakens, so before long, a great calamity will once again befall the upper realm," said Bloodslaughter Venerable.
"What?!"
The bodies of the Venerables like Underworld trembled; Demon Emperors were figures on par with the supreme beings of the upper realm, were they fully Awakening now?
With such beings’ revival, the power of the Netherworld would strengthen, and then continue to invade, all the demonic forces in the upper realm would surge.
This was why the Ascension Realm beings of the upper realm couldn’t afford to be distracted; otherwise, if they were to enter Origin Isle, perhaps the entire upper realm would be annihilated.
"Is the appearance of Origin Isle also related to the Awakening of Demon Emperors and even that Ancestral Being?" the eight Venerables asked.
They did not doubt the truth of what the Saint Lord said because they knew the Saint Lord himself possessed the primordial force of a Demon Emperor in his body, so his sensations were the most direct.
"That information is beyond my knowledge, but regardless, the Ascension Realm beings of the upper realm can’t get in, and naturally, the same goes for us. They will guard strictly, but it’s different for the Primordial Realm."
Underworld Venerable, as if struck by a thought, said, "So, does the Saint Lord mean that, this time, the opportunity for Origin Isle may very well be opened by those in the Primordial Realm?"
"Correct." Bloodslaughter Venerable nodded and added, "Perhaps even the origin of the myriad worlds is within it."
Underworld Venerable’s heart stirred; if that was the case, his two offspring could indeed enter.
At this time, the Blood Murder Venerable also said, "At the same time, inform the eighteen Sacred Envoys that this mission, besides competing for the Origin of All Realms, killing Gu Chen is also ranked as the highest priority."
Upon the mention of Gu Chen, the expressions of these venerables of the Sacred Order couldn’t help but become solemn.
Clearly, they were all well informed about the deeds of Gu Chen, who had broken through from the Ascension Realm to the Primordial Realm in just two years. No matter the reason, it was too defiant of the heavens.
"This child is an unprecedented great enemy of our Sacred Order. Should there be any trace of him, he must be eradicated immediately; otherwise, it would be troublesome if he grows stronger in the future!" Blood Murder Venerable said gravely.
"Very well!" The other eight venerables nodded upon hearing this.
As for how the eighteen Sacred Envoys would enter, that was the easy part; the Sacred Order still had such capabilities.
...
East Profound Region, Qingyun Academy.
"Does the emergence of Origin Island at this time imply something?" mused Situ Yin, the Dean of Qingyun Academy.
"Dean, have you discovered something?" Gu Chen asked.
The Dean of Qingyun Academy shook his head: "No, I just have a premonition. Origin Island appeared at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, creating all realms and living beings, and there has been no sign of it since - until now it has reappeared."
Hearing this, Gu Chen thoughtfully said, "So, Dean, you mean that if nothing unexpected happens, this is very likely to be the final epoch of all realms?"
Situ Yin’s expression grew solemn, and he nodded without a word.
It would indeed fit the characteristics of Origin Island to appear at the time of the world’s birth and destruction.
"Of course, there is another possibility, which is that the Upper World is too weak at this moment, and sensing this, the ways of heaven allow the appearance of Origin Island to help us elevate our strength."
Gu Chen nodded, saying, "So no matter what, the emergence of Origin Island is not a good sign for the Upper World."
Situ Yin looked grave as he said, "Perhaps, the final battle is about to begin!"
From that day onwards, with the passage of time, Origin Island and the Upper World were getting closer and closer.
All the legendary figures at the peak of the questioning realm were rubbing their hands together in anticipation, waiting to enter to continue the severed path and verify the supremacy of all heavens!
However, a month later, with a boom, the Upper World shook again!
But this time, it was not good news, but rather, as predicted by the Sacred Lord, a great influx of underworld forces invaded, plunging the Upper World into chaos once more.
A group of legendary figures at the peak of the questioning realm frowned and thus began a discussion.
Before long, Dean Situ Yin returned. He looked at Gu Chen with a sigh, "I cannot accompany you to Origin Island this time."
"Why is that?" Gu Chen’s eyebrows knitted together upon hearing this, but quickly, he said, "Could it be because of the situation in the Upper World?"
"Exactly," Dean Situ Yin nodded.
He informed Gu Chen that this time the legendary figures at the peak of the questioning realm gathered and discovered the massive invasion of underworld forces, sensing the possibility of a Demon Emperor Awakening, worried that a disturbance could occur in the sanctuary of living beings. Therefore, to protect the Upper World, they could only stay behind.
Although many of the legendary figures were reluctant, this was a collective decision and they could not refuse.
After all, if the Upper World perished, they would only wander through the heavens.
"Therefore, after discussion, it was unanimously decided that this exploration of Origin Island would be conducted by those in the Primordial Realm."
Situ Yin looked at Gu Chen and solemnly advised, "I know you are strong, but remember to be always vigilant, because although legendary figures of the questioning realm will not enter, they will undoubtedly send avatars, incarnated in their descendants, to enter with them."
Gu Chen nodded, understanding that such a once-in-eternity opportunity presented by Origin Island would naturally not be missed by the legendary figures of the questioning realm, especially in an era where the highest of heavens did not appear.
They had unanimously agreed that the Origin of All Realms lay within Origin Island, so of course, they would not give up the pursuit.
The true body remained to guard the Upper World, while the avatar went to Origin Island. This was the planning of the legendary figures of the questioning realm.
"Dean, then you..." Gu Chen looked at Situ Yin.
"I do not need to," Situ Yin shook his head, "Those people incarnate in their descendants out of concern that they are not strong enough to compete for the Origin of All Realms and might lose out, so they choose to take action themselves. But you are different."
At this, Situ Yin gave a slight smile, his trust in Gu Chen evident as he also said, "Moreover, I just recently broke through to the questioning realm not long ago and can’t divide too much power. With your strength, naturally, it would be superfluous."
Gu Chen could see that Dean Situ Yin was indeed very open-minded, not as obsessed with the Origin of All Realms as other legendary figures of the questioning realm.
Compared to this, he was more eager to eliminate demons.
"So, you must be extremely cautious when you enter this time. The Golden Roc Clan and the other five major forces, even other supreme entities, and even those who have invited you before might take action against you."
Gu Chen nodded; in front of opportunities, everything depended on competition, and he certainly did not believe that those who had only met him once would go easy.
Seeing this, Dean Situ Yin felt reassured about Gu Chen.
After another two months passed, the sky of the Upper World brightened, as if a supreme divine sun appeared, its splendid light showering down, making everyone feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze.
Only Gu Chen shuddered, his expression turning incredibly astonished.
This was all because the ancient jade in his sea of consciousness, a union of three parts but still missing a piece, was releasing thousands of gleams of light and trembling violently.
Such an anomaly had rarely occurred before, and Gu Chen instantly understood what it meant.
He swiftly raised his head, looking toward the firmament where Origin Island was suspended like a resplendent sun, his heart pounding with endless shock and awe.
"Could it be that the fourth piece of the ancient jade is on Origin Island?!"
