The divine sounds of the Great Dao, golden light, and purple qi gradually faded.
But everyone in the Returning Origin Holy Land still looked as though they had not had their fill.
The Manifestations accompanying Su Changge's breakthrough had made the spiritual energy throughout this stretch of heaven and earth exceptionally dense. Had they lasted a few more days, even their cultivation might have improved.
The Manifestations just now had even loosened the bottlenecks of some ancestors.
At their level of cultivation, it could take decades or even a century to achieve a breakthrough, yet the Manifestations Su Changge had just produced had already loosened their bottlenecks.
It was clear just how terrifying this was!
Creak, creak, creak-
The doors of the Returning Origin Holy Hall slowly opened.
Su Changge stepped out.
His white robes were like snow, untouched by a speck of dust, and a hazy divine radiance surrounded him. A faint smile rested on his lips; refined and handsome, he resembled an elegant young gentleman in a sullied world.
Those who had long been waiting outside the hall were somewhat spellbound.
Even Yun Xinyan, who saw Su Changge every day, found it hard to breathe!
At this moment, Su Changge's features were even more handsome, and his bearing had undergone an even greater elevation.
One glance, and it was hard to look away.
Another glance, and ripples stirred in the heart.
"Like jade was the man upon the path; peerless in this world was the young gentleman." This line suddenly came to everyone's mind.
"Changge, thank you for your efforts in making that breakthrough. These are cultivation treasures that we ancestors specially pooled together for you."
Ancestor Po Jun suddenly appeared before Su Changge and stuffed stalk after stalk of Divine Herbs wreathed in purple qi and Sage Pills shimmering with radiance into his hands.
"Oh, and this. You're heading to the Heaven River Realm tomorrow. We old fellows felt those weren't enough, so make sure you keep this safe."
Ancestor Po Jun took a Treasure Pagoda shimmering with seven-colored light from his robes. It had seven stories, and its vast, boundless aura made its extraordinary nature palpable.
"This pagoda was forged from a piece of Extraterrestrial Star Divine Iron. It is a Half-Immortal Artifact! The restrictions within it can help you withstand an all-out attack from someone Above Saint."
"And this is a Domain Breaking Divine Talisman. If you encounter danger, you can teleport back to the Returning Origin Holy Land."
"Spirit stones are indispensable when you're away from home. Here are a million top-grade spirit stones. Take them."
"..."
Ancestor Po Jun stuffed every item into Su Changge's hands.
Not only Su Changge, but even the Returning Origin Holy Master was stunned.
"Ancestor, isn't this a little..."
Before he could finish, however, he suddenly felt an icy gaze fall upon him.
Ancestor Po Jun's face had darkened, his eyes filled with sharp intensity.
"What are you trying to say? I'll give you a chance. Make yourself clear."
At this sight, the Returning Origin Holy Master shuddered all over and hurriedly changed his words. "I was just saying, wouldn't this little bit be insufficient?"
But Ancestor Po Jun continued to stare coldly at him, and he panicked again!
"This is nowhere near enough! I'll add some more!"
As he spoke, the Returning Origin Holy Master dipped into his own pockets, taking out protective treasures and divine medicines one after another and stuffing them into Su Changge's hands!
It was worth mentioning that every time the Returning Origin Holy Master handed over an item, tears of excitement streamed from his eyes!
He truly had not been coerced. It was all voluntary!
Some elders and Supreme Elders of the Returning Origin Holy Land also offered their gifts one after another.
Su Changge's talent was simply too terrifying. Building a good relationship now would benefit them in the future, after all!
"As expected, compared to the Divine Son, we can't even begin to envy him!" The many disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land had all grown numb!
So the important figures they looked up to were just as "worldly"!
"Thank you, elders and ancestors!"
"And thank you for your generous care, Holy Master!"
Su Changge thanked them one by one and put away all the treasures.
Watching his years of savings vanish just like that, the Returning Origin Holy Master could only force a smile. His heart truly ached.
"All right, every time the Divine Son breaks through, you all get to bask in his reflected glory. If you only advance by one realm, you can forget about resting from now on!"
Ancestor Po Jun's words made the disciples chuckle as they hurriedly turned and left.
Soon, the Returning Origin Holy Hall was empty again, with only Ancestor Po Jun and Su Changge remaining.
"Changge, you'll be setting off for the Heaven River Realm tomorrow. I've prepared a flying vessel for you. You'll take it there when the time comes."
"Yes." Su Changge was touched. He had to admit that the holy land's treatment of him truly left nothing to be desired.
"This Jade Slip contains some information about the Heaven River Realm. Our Returning Origin Holy Land also has affiliated forces there. If you run into trouble, you can seek them out."
"Also, the Heaven River Realm has been unsettled lately. Put your own safety first in everything."
Ancestor Po Jun handed Su Changge a Jade Slip, gave him a few more reminders, and left the Returning Origin Holy Hall.
"A small world rich in the power of fortune?"
Su Changge accepted the Jade Slip and extended a strand of Divine Sense to examine it. A moment later, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The Heaven River Realm had produced not only several Sages, but even Great Emperors. Rumor had it that this world also held a Great Emperor's Tomb.
If one could find it, one could obtain a supreme opportunity.
"Interesting. This small world is far from simple. It looks like this trip won't be too dull." Golden light flickered in Su Changge's eyes, revealing a trace of anticipation.
Early the next morning.
Above the Returning Origin Holy Land.
An enormous, incomparably magnificent flying vessel hovered in the air, radiant with flowing colors and brilliant runes.
Within it were carved beams and painted rafters, numerous towers and palaces, swirling immortal mist, and clear springs flowing with a gentle murmur.
Banners fluttered in the wind, the two large characters for "Returning Origin" revealing an even more powerful presence.
This was a personal flying vessel the Returning Origin Holy Land had specially built for Su Changge, and it also bore numerous Defense Arrays.
It was no exaggeration to call this flying vessel a moving fortress of steel.
"Thank you for your generous 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 vessel.
"Think nothing of it. It's all for your safety."
Yun Xinyan had already been waiting aboard the flying vessel for a long time, 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, stirring up mighty gusts of wind.
The Laws aboard the flying vessel roared, and brilliant runes flowed, raising currents of air that crushed across the heavens.
It sped through the sky toward the horizon.
Only when the flying vessel gradually disappeared from everyone's sight did things move on.
Ancestor Po Jun said calmly, "Gui Ying, the Divine Son's safety is in your hands. Even if you die, you must not let him suffer the slightest harm. Understood?"
Hum!
Suddenly, the void slowly split open, and a middle-aged man in black robes stepped out. His aura surged fiercely, terrifying to the extreme.
The terrifying cultivation emanating from him was unmistakably at the Saint Peak Realm.
The Black-Clothed Middle-Aged Man bowed deeply with his hands cupped toward Ancestor Po Jun. "I shall obey your command, Ancestor."
This Black-Clothed Middle-Aged Man was a Protector of the Returning Origin Holy Land. He had been loyal to the holy land for many years and had always worked on its behalf.
For him, being able to serve as the Divine Son's Dao Protector on this trip filled him with even greater joy and excitement.
Even now, the Manifestations of heaven and earth accompanying Su Changge's breakthrough still left him shaken!
After receiving a few more instructions, the Black-Clothed Middle-Aged Man slipped into the void and secretly followed Su Changge.
His primary task was to protect Su Changge's life. He certainly would not intervene over minor troubles.
Ancestor Po Jun stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction Su Changge had left. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"I hope those old fellows behave themselves."
"If they show no dignity befitting their age and dare to strike underhandedly..."
"Then there will be no need for this North Abyss Dao Domain to exist."
