Therefore, Gu Chen often laments: "The supreme realm, though it is the last stage of cultivation, feels to me not endless, but still unfathomably deep, with much to uncover."
Indeed, the Way is endless, and the supreme realm is nearly so; for Gu Chen to reach the ultimate summit, there is still a long road ahead.
It is said that recently the Upper Realms have seen a great emergence of powerful beings making significant progress. But in truth, only Gu Chen knows that his own progress is the greatest!
Even, he has tried to incorporate the supreme patterns of the Origin Island into his body, which marked the fastest growth in his cultivation.
Hum!
At this moment, Gu Chen extends his finger, and at its tip, a vast world instantaneously forms.
The rules of this world are impeccably complete, posing no problems for habitation and with an extraordinarily prominent natural environment. Though not as vast as the Upper Realms, it can still be considered a mid-sized world.
Swish!
The next moment, with a flick of Gu Chen’s hand, the mid-sized world dissolves as swiftly as dust and sand.
The creation and destruction of worlds are at the whim of Gu Chen’s fingers, such cultivation can be said to be astoundingly formidable!
In just a thought, Gu Chen could create three thousand ancient realms; his current state can certainly be deemed godlike and demonic.
However, to create myriad worlds like the Origin Island, Gu Chen is not yet capable of such a feat.
But he believes that the step to achieve this is not far away.
"The divine repositories of the flesh are all unlocked, and the primordial spirit’s unity with the Way has grasped its essence. What realm have I reached now?"
This is the confusion that sometimes arises in Gu Chen. Being invincible in the world can also be incredibly lonely to some extent, with not a single person worthy of being his opponent.
Therefore, occasionally, a sense of solitude emerges in Gu Chen’s heart. It’s inevitable to feel lonely at the height of power when one is unrivaled in the world.
Fortunately, with his Second Uncle and the many friends from the Upper Realms as his company, this thread of solitude is swiftly cleaved away by the light of Gu Chen’s spirit.
With a hum, the unified Nine Cauldrons and the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor appeared. By now, these two top-tier Dao weapons were no longer of much help to him.
Even if Gu Chen wished, he could shatter both Dao weapons with his bare hands.
"Nine Cauldrons, Vault of Heavens, how high has my strength reached now?" Gu Chen couldn’t help but ask.
The Nine Cauldrons and the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor, as Dao weapons, naturally have their own consciousness. In the past, Gu Chen was too weak, so the Nine Cauldrons had always ignored him.
The Vault of Heavens Battle Armor has been with Gu Chen throughout his growth, and upon its completion, it was the first to proactively speak to Gu Chen.
After a moment of silence, the Nine Cauldrons did not speak. It has always been like this, relatively reticent in conversation.
Mainly because the Nine Cauldrons has not been in contact with the supreme beings of myriad heavens, so regarding Gu Chen’s question, it simply does not know.
Then the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor spoke, saying, "Based on my observations, you now far surpass the Lord of Azure Cloud Sky and the Ice Emperor."
"Is that so." Gu Chen mumbled to himself. The two supreme beings of the previous era, who he had always viewed as his targets, were now unwittingly surpassed by him.
"When are you planning to forge your own Dao weapon? It has been ten years now," the Nine Cauldrons suddenly spoke.
Yes, since Gu Chen made his breakthrough to the supreme realm and brought everyone to the Origin Island, ten years had passed.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Chen said, "The time has indeed come."
His Way has now matured, and he can forge a Dao weapon unique to himself; such a weapon would fit him best, allowing him to exert his strength beyond its limits.
"The Nine Cauldrons and I have discussed this. If you are to forge a Dao weapon, incorporate us both into it," the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor spoke. freёweɓnovel.com
"This..." Upon hearing this, Gu Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Without mentioning the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor, the origin of the Nine Cauldrons stemmed from Emperor Yu, and Gu Chen could tell that the Cauldron still harbored deep thoughts about Emperor Yu. He guessed that one day in the future, after the Epochal Catastrophe ends, the Nine Cauldrons might choose to return to the Lower Realms of Jiuzhou on its own.
The Nine Cauldrons remained silent; clearly, this was something the two had already agreed on beforehand, or else the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor wouldn’t have said so.
"We have followed you all this way, witnessed your growth, and have become inseparable from you. Since you are forging a Dao weapon, how could we be absent?" the Vault of Heavens Battle Armor said.
"Alright." Upon hearing these words, Gu Chen also nodded slightly.
Subsequently, he waved his sleeve, and various mystical materials and celestial ingredients appeared, even more abundant than in the past. It could be said that throughout ancient history, this collection was truly one of a kind.
"Have you decided on what form it should take?" the Firmament War Armor, the Nine Cauldrons, and the supreme heavenly medicines all looked over.
"A sword!" Moments later, Gu Chen spoke, his voice unwavering and resolute.
In his youth, the first weapon that Gu Chen wielded was the sword. In Jing Tian Department, the technique he learned and chose was swordsmanship, a decision made after deep contemplation.
Moreover, in another world, he had a profound fondness for swords. This was evident from the time in the Nine States; now that he had this choice, it was only natural.
"Since that’s the case, then let’s begin," said the Firmament War Armor.
Boom!
The next moment, a fierce Dao Flame ignited. This flame was unique to Gu Chen himself, a high concentration of his own Dao cultivation, terrifying beyond measure!
In an instant, myriad Dao currents stirred, but thankfully, Gu Chen intentionally contained them, preventing the fluctuations from spreading beyond his closed-door cultivation area.
Even so, the Firmament War Armor, the Nine Cauldrons, and the supreme heavenly medicines all retreated immediately.
Especially the supreme heavenly medicines, which were the most afraid of such flames, and thus kept the furthest distance away.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The next moment, those mystical materials and celestial ingredients one by one took flight, merging into the Dao Flame that burned fiercely with endless supreme patterns. They were melted in an instant, turning into flowing molten metal.
Without the need for Gu Chen to say more, the Nine Cauldrons and the Firmament War Armor synchronously flew in to join, allowing themselves to be consumed and forged in the fire.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, extended a thread of his power to protect the consciousness of both from being obliterated.
Thus, the area once again fell into tranquility. Gu Chen sat with his eyes closed, intent on forging his own Dao Weapon, a process that would certainly not be brief.
After all, this was going to be the weapon of the greatest warrior throughout all ages!
And so, time flew by; years passed in the blink of an eye, and a hundred years went just like that.
During this time, the Upper Realm flourished like never before, with peerless geniuses and monsters emerging one after another, and great powers rising from time to time.
The myriad realms entered an explosive era, with an overall tremendous surge in strength.
It’s worth mentioning that the same was true for the Imperial Court of Ages!
Tianyuan Taoist and the other four inheritors of the Nine Heavens, Ao Xuan and the other four immortal spirits, all experienced significant breakthroughs in their cultivation. On the Origin Island, owing to various opportunities, and with the insights gifted by Gu Chen, the greatest warrior of all ages, they all stepped into the Inquiry Realm not long ago!
However, to break through from the Inquiry Realm to the Supreme Realm, even with the Dao’s origin now restored, would still require a lengthy period of time.
At the same time, during these hundred years, Nie Gu, chieftain of the Void King Clan, and Ao Tian, leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, also made consecutive breakthroughs, reaching the Supreme Realm!
Instantaneously, celebrations abounded across the heavens!
Yet, although the Lord of the Imperial Court, Gu Chen, had not appeared for a hundred years, his legend continued to be passed down without diminishing, showing no signs of weakening.
No matter how talented or monstrous one was, they still could not surpass the records left by Gu Chen. He always occupied the highest echelon, standing at the pinnacle, a figure of universal admiration!
And thus, the Imperial Court of Ages grew even more prosperous, rightfully claiming the title of the foremost power across all ages!
After all, apart from Gu Chen, the all-time greatest warrior, there had never been a power in ancient history with two Supreme Realm beings.
Furthermore, everyone knew that as time passed, due to the influence of Gu Chen, the Lord of the Imperial Court, more and more powerhouses would emerge, with the Supreme Realm within their reach.
And what everyone anticipated the most was joining the Imperial Court of Ages!
Without any exception.
At the same time, the century-long absence of the Lord of the Imperial Court also sparked various expectations from everyone.
At this moment, after a century of silence, after a hundred years of secluded cultivation, Gu Chen, in the heart of his closed-door cultivation space, his eyes that had been closed for so long gave the faintest hint of movement, a sign that they were about to open.
For all of this was because, within the Dao Flame that had been forging for a hundred years without extinguishing, there finally came a stirring.
This sign was indicating that the Dao Weapon, belonging solely to the Lord of the Imperial Court, the greatest warrior throughout all ages, was about to come into existence!
