Su Changge's gaze remained indifferent, and he paid no further attention to Jin Aoyang, who was shaking like chaff in a sieve.
Only he knew his future Great Dao; it was not something a prancing clown like this could imagine.
The flowing divine light was dazzling and brilliant, like a vast, resplendent ocean of divine radiance.
It was so blinding that no one could make out Su Changge's figure anymore.
Countless rays of divine light continued to pour forth, the Laws of the Great Dao surging in mighty waves.
The entire Immortal Demon City was enveloped in golden clouds!
"So much divine light-there must be thousands upon thousands of rays, right? Has Immortal Demon City ever produced such a monstrous genius?"
"Even the Immortals of legend could do no better!"
Everyone had grown somewhat numb. Everything before their eyes had already surpassed their imagination!
Throughout the history of the Heaven Questioning Mirror's activations, aside from the strongest individual, the highest anyone had received was a mere three hundred and sixty rays of divine light in their baptism.
But now, that seemed like a minor shaman meeting a great one.
Su Changge was like the Heavenly Questioning Mirror's own son, with divine light pouring down on him as though it cost nothing!
Many people were utterly flustered.
"Why is the gap between people so enormous? Is this Su Changge the Heavenly Questioning Mirror's youngest son?"
"Even the Returning Origin Holy Land's First Saint Son Ye Lintian wasn't this terrifying last year, was he? Doesn't he have Double Pupils?"
"If Su Changge merely has a Saintly Body, I'll eat the Heavenly Questioning Mirror!"
Saintly Bodies had existed throughout the ages. Great Emperor Di Tian, for instance, had possessed a Supreme Bone.
But looking at it now, wasn't this gap far too great?
The only explanation they could offer was that only the Immortals of legend could accomplish this.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Already severely injured by Su Changge's aura, Jin Aoyang felt his cheeks burning with pain, his face ashen.
Su Changge's heaven-defying talent had dealt him a vicious slap in the face.
Even Shi Xiaocang, who had previously ranked first, now paled in comparison!
Rumble!
Thunderous rumbling rang out without end.
The dazzling rays of divine light continuously merged into Su Changge's body.
Su Changge possessed the Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo and was naturally attuned to the Great Dao, his heart united with the Dao. This divine light was a perfect match for him as well.
Because Su Changge was a transmigrator whose soul had occupied this physical body, although the fit was reasonably good, there were still some flaws.
Though these flaws were extremely slight, the higher his cultivation rose, the more likely they were to become a fatal hidden danger.
At this moment, however, the boundless divine light seemed to be helping him repair the compatibility between his body and soul.
His soul felt as though it were wrapped in warm water, becoming incomparably clear and translucent. His flesh and blood seemed to resonate with his soul, as though they would reform into a single whole.
That tiny flaw from before is completely gone now.
A trace of delight appeared in Su Changge's eyes. With the flaw resolved, his foundation in the Great Dao would become even firmer, and his strength would rise to another level!
Hum!
The Heavenly Questioning Mirror trembled again, and a radiance emitting Five-Colored Divine Light shot through the air from within it, plunging straight into Su Changge's sea of consciousness.
"It's that wisp of Immortal Qi!"
Someone noticed this and cried out in surprise.
They had not seen it clearly either. It moved so quickly that it left only a five-colored rainbow trailing through the air.
Yet the mysterious Dao Rhythm left behind seemed incomparably supreme and sacred, something that absolutely should not exist in this world!
Immortal Qi?
Su Changge's mind stirred, and he extended a wisp of his soul toward that brilliant five-colored radiance.
It actually contained dense Five Elements Power, far surpassing the Five Elements Power of this world!
Suddenly, Su Changge seemed to think of something.
With a thought, he summoned the system panel.
[Mending Heaven Divine Stone Fragment: Its complete form was originally one of the Supreme Treasures of the Heaven River Immortal Domain. It possesses the purest Five Elements Power, mending what the Heavenly Dao lacks and restoring the damage to the Great Dao.]
This was the system reward Su Changge had obtained in the Heaven River Great Emperor's Tomb.
Both came from the Immortal Realm. Could there be some connection between them?
There were too many people and prying eyes here. He planned to investigate thoroughly after entering the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
"Damn it! That Immortal Qi should have been mine! That damned human actually stole it!"
Shi Xiaocang's eyes were filled with resentment and fury. He had prepared for this day for a long time.
Only the person who received the most divine light in their baptism would have the chance to obtain various Great Dao Inheritances.
Yet today, that most mysterious Immortal Qi had actually been seized by a damned human!
It should have belonged to him!
Even some Demon Race elders had inscrutable gazes, as though they were beginning to harbor schemes.
"Hmph!"
Just then, a cold snort rang out, exploding like muffled thunder, its pressure bearing down upon the nine heavens.
Everyone involuntarily shuddered and turned their eyes toward a figure in the sky.
It was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Returning Origin Holy Land.
"Changge is the Divine Son of our Returning Origin Holy Land. If you old fellows harbor ill intentions and intend to disgrace your years..."
"Then you will face the wrath of every ancestor of our Returning Origin Holy Land!"
At the Supreme Elder's words, everyone's pupils contracted sharply.
Ancestor Po Jun of the Returning Origin Holy Land was a ruthless figure of his generation!
Leaving him aside, they had heard that the Returning Origin Holy Land had several other ancestors.
Some of those ancestors had already been ancestors of the Returning Origin Holy Land when they themselves were mere children!
The three legendary ones in particular were nothing short of living myths!
Some said those three had long since passed away, while others said they still lived within the Ancestral Land. But who dared gamble on it?
At the same time, they increasingly felt that Su Changge was no ordinary person. Not only had he been appointed Divine Son, but he was also highly valued by so many ancestors. How terrifying!
Rumble!
Just then, the distant sky seemed to split open.
Great Dao Runes coalesced, space twisted, and then a tremendous Void Storm erupted.
Crack!
Immediately afterward, the void shattered, and the light within seemed to lead to an unknown world.
An ancient, boundless aura spread from within, along with Divine Birds and Strange Beasts that blotted out the sky and sun, like a world from an ancient age.
"The Returning Ruins Secret Realm has opened!"
"It seems today's unusual activity in the Heavenly Questioning Mirror caused the Returning Ruins Secret Realm to open early!"
Bai Wenqin said solemnly, "Quick! Hurry inside! The Returning Ruins Secret Realm only remains open for one month. If you don't return within that month, you'll be trapped inside for ten thousand years!"
He had actually always suspected that the Heavenly Questioning Mirror was connected to the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
The Heavenly Questioning Mirror was difficult to track down and only appeared when the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was about to open.
The many powerful prodigies dared not hesitate. One after another, they soared into the air and flew toward the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
Their faces were all filled with excitement and anticipation.
There were plenty of heaven-defying opportunities within. If they could obtain them, even competing on the Emperor's Path in the future might not be impossible!
"Lord Divine Son!"
Yun Xin looked somewhat anxious. More than half the prodigies had already entered, leaving only a scattering of people from the Returning Origin Holy Land.
Su Changge shook his head with a wry smile. This little girl was surely afraid those people would snatch all the opportunities.
But I have a map of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm. Won't those opportunities be mine for the picking?
"Let's go. Your Divine Son will take you to pick up some opportunities."
Su Changge led the anxious-looking Yun Xinyan through the twisting Vortex Passage.
A dazzling light flashed before their eyes, and there seemed to be Time-Space Fragments and spatial turbulence all around them.
Once these disturbances subsided, the scene before them slowly warped into focus.
They now stood within an ancient and unfamiliar small world.
It was none other than the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
