Gifts Poured In, Setting Out for the Heaven River Realm

The great Dao's divine music, golden light, and purple aura gradually faded away.

Yet every member of the Returning Origin Holy Land wore an expression of lingering dissatisfaction.

The phenomenon caused by Su Changge's breakthrough had made the spiritual energy of this heaven and earth especially dense. If it lasted for a few more days, even their cultivation might improve.

The heavenly phenomenon just now had even loosened the bottlenecks of some ancestors.

One had to know that after reaching their level of cultivation, it could take decades or even centuries to achieve a breakthrough. Yet Su Changge's phenomenon alone had caused their bottlenecks to loosen.

One could see just how terrifying this was!

Creak, creak, creak—

As the gates of the Returning Origin Holy Hall slowly opened,

Su Changge stepped out from within.

His white robes were like snow, untouched by dust. Divine radiance hazed around him, and a faint smile rested on his lips. He was refined and handsome, like a graceful Young Master amidst a muddy world.

The people who had long been waiting before the hall were somewhat stunned.

Even Yun Xinyan, who saw Su Changge every day, found it hard to breathe!

At this moment, Su Changge's features had become even more handsome, while his temperament had undergone an even greater sublimation.

One glance, and it was hard to look away.

Another glance, and ripples stirred in one's heart.

"Like jade is the man upon the road; no Young Master under heaven compares." This was the phrase that suddenly surfaced in everyone's minds.

"Changge, you must be tired after your breakthrough. These are cultivation treasures that several of us ancestors specially gathered for you."

Po Jun Ancestor suddenly came before Su Changge and stuffed stalk after stalk of divine herbs wreathed in purple aura, along with radiant Sage pills, into Su Changge's hands.

"Oh, and this as well. You will be heading to the Heaven River Realm tomorrow. A few old fellows like us felt that still wasn't enough, so you must keep this item safe."

Po Jun Ancestor took out a treasure tower glittering with seven-colored rosy light from his robes. It had seven levels, and its aura was vast and ancient; one could tell it was extraordinary.

"This tower was forged from a piece of Extraterrestrial Star Divine Iron. It is a Half-Immortal Artifact! The restrictions within can help you withstand a full-force attack from someone Above Saint."

"And this. It is a Domain Breaking Divine Talisman. Should you encounter danger, it can teleport you back to the Returning Origin Holy Land."

"Spirit Stones are indispensable when traveling abroad. These are one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Take them."

""

Po Jun Ancestor stuffed item after item into Su Changge's hands.

Not only Su Changge—even the Returning Origin Holy Master was dumbfounded.

"Ancestor, isn't this a bit—"

But before he could finish, he suddenly felt a chilly gaze fall upon him.

Po Jun Ancestor's face sank, his eyes filled with sharp severity.

"What were you going to say? I'll give you a chance. Explain yourself clearly."

Seeing this, the Returning Origin Holy Master shuddered all over and hurriedly changed his words. "I was just saying, isn't this little bit perhaps not enough?"

Yet Po Jun Ancestor continued to stare coldly at him, and he panicked again!

"This is completely not enough! I'll add a little more!"

As he spoke, the Returning Origin Holy Master paid out of his own pocket, taking out more protective treasures and divine medicines and stuffing them into Su Changge's hands!

It was worth mentioning that every time the Returning Origin Holy Master stuffed an item into Su Changge's hands, tears would flow from his eyes in excitement!

He truly had not been coerced. Everything was voluntary!

Some elders and Supreme Elders of the Returning Origin Holy Land also began presenting their own gifts.

Su Changge's talent was simply too terrifying. Building a good relationship with him now would benefit them in the future as well!

"As expected, compared to the Divine Son, there's no way we can be envious!" The many disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land had gone numb!

So even the great figures in their eyes were this "worldly"!

"Thank you, Elders and Ancestors!"

"And thank you as well, Holy Master, for your generous favor!"

Su Changge thanked them one by one and put away all the treasures.

Watching his savings of many years vanish just like that, the Returning Origin Holy Master could only force a smile. His heart truly ached.

"Alright. Every time the Divine Son breaks through, you all get to benefit as well. If you only raise one realm, then none of you will need to rest in the future!"

Po Jun Ancestor's words made the many disciples chuckle before hurriedly turning and leaving.

Soon, the Returning Origin Holy Hall was empty once more, leaving only Po Jun Ancestor and Su Changge behind.

"Changge, tomorrow you will set out for the Heaven River Realm. I have prepared a Flying Ship for you. When the time comes, take that Flying Ship there."

"Yes." Su Changge was moved. It had to be said that the Holy Land truly treated him exceptionally well.

"This jade slip contains some information about the Heaven River Realm. The Heaven River Realm also has subordinate forces of our Returning Origin Holy Land. If you run into trouble, you may seek them out."

"Also, the Heaven River Realm has not been peaceful recently. In all matters, put your own safety first."

Po Jun Ancestor handed a jade slip to Su Changge, gave him a few more instructions, then left the Returning Origin Holy Hall.

"A small world rich in the power of destiny?"

Su Changge accepted the jade slip and extended a thread of divine sense to inspect it. A moment later, a trace of understanding flashed through his eyes.

The Heaven River Realm had not only produced several Sages, but even a Great Emperor. It was said that this world even contained the tomb of a Great Emperor.

If one could find it, one could obtain a supreme opportunity.

"Interesting. This small world is so extraordinary. It seems this journey will not be too dull." Golden light flickered in Su Changge's eyes, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

The next morning.

Above the Returning Origin Holy Land.

An incomparably luxurious and enormous Flying Ship hovered in the air, shimmering with flowing radiance and brilliant runes.

Within it stood carved beams and painted rafters, with numerous towers and Palaces scattered throughout. Immortal mist curled around them, while clear springs rang softly.

Banners fluttered in the wind, and the two grand characters "Returning Origin" revealed an imposing aura.

This was an exclusive Flying Ship that the Returning Origin Holy Land had specially built for Su Changge, with numerous Defense Arrays carved upon it.

Without exaggeration, this Flying Ship could be considered a moving steel fortress.

"Thank you for your favor, Ancestor!"

Su Changge cupped his hands in thanks.

He knew the Returning Origin Holy Land had put a great deal of thought into building this Flying Ship.

"No matter. Everything is for your safety."

Yun Xinyan had long been waiting aboard the Flying Ship, along with some Guards the Returning Origin Holy Land had prepared for Su Changge.

Before long, a tremendous sound rang out.

Rumble!

Soon, the void shook as a vast gale swept up.

The laws upon the Flying Ship roared, brilliant runes flowed, and streams of air surged forth, crushing across the heavens.

It sped through the high sky, flying toward the horizon.

Only after the Flying Ship gradually vanished from everyone's sight

did Po Jun Ancestor speak calmly, "Gui Ying, the Divine Son's safety is in your hands. Even if you die, you cannot allow him to suffer even the slightest injury. Do you understand?"

Buzz!

The void suddenly split open slowly, and a middle-aged man in black robes stepped out. The aura around him surged like a raging tide, terrifying to the extreme.

The dreadful cultivation he emitted was astonishingly at the Saint Peak Realm.

The Black-Clothed Middle-Aged Man deeply cupped his hands toward Po Jun Ancestor. "I shall obey the Ancestor's command."

This Black-Clothed Middle-Aged Man was a Protector of the Returning Origin Holy Land. He had served the Holy Land faithfully for many years and had always worked for it.

To him, being able to become the Divine Son's Dao Protector this time filled him with incomparable joy and excitement.

Even now, the heavenly phenomenon from Su Changge's breakthrough still made his heart tremble in fear!

After giving a few more instructions, the Black-Clothed Middle-Aged Man vanished into the void and secretly followed Su Changge.

His main task was to protect Su Changge's life and safety. He certainly would not intervene over minor troubles.

Po Jun Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction Su Changge had departed. A fierce glint flashed through his eyes.

"I hope those old fellows can behave themselves."

"If they refuse to act their age and dare to strike from the shadows—"

"Then there will be no need for this North Abyss Dao Domain to continue existing."
