At this moment, Gu Chen made a breakthrough to the late stage of the Primordial Realm, his cultivation age soaring by another 100,000 years to reach a staggering 400,000 years.

As for his cultivation techniques, they too broke through, each reaching the twelfth layer.

Among the seven immeasurable divine powers, both the Space Character Seal and Time Character Seal also broke through to Rank Eight. It could be said that this time, Gu Chen had gained greatly, with his combat strength skyrocketing once more.

"The fourth piece of the fragmented jade has appeared. Right now, with my strength, I should be able to handle any situation with ease," Gu Chen murmured.

Within the Innate Source Pool, what seemed to be a short time was actually quite a prolonged period that Gu Chen had passed through.

He looked around and saw that other supreme beings were still in slumber, their bodies constantly changing with various lights flickering.

At the same time, he also caught sight of the figure of Tianhuo Old Man.

"My life source has indeed completely changed," Gu Chen reflected internally, noting that the strength of his body had greatly increased.

Returning to the origin, from now on, he had become one of the Innate Spiritual Beings, his source profound to the extreme, even celestial spirits couldn’t come close to comparing!

After all, before this, Gu Chen’s accumulation was already terrifying. Once he made a breakthrough with the Innate Source substance from this place, he naturally became even more powerful.

Perhaps, calling Gu Chen the number one lifeform of the Primordial Realm throughout the ages would not be an exaggeration.

"It’s time to leave," said Gu Chen, and without any visible action, his figure blinked and disappeared from the spot.

After reaching Rank Eight with the Space Character Seal, Gu Chen’s manipulation of the void became even more effortless. In almost an instant, he traveled 80,000 miles away.

Then, he took out the red lotus he obtained from defeating Meng Sheng and the others. This was a damaged Dao weapon, which, if Gu Chen wasn’t wrong, should be made of Red Blood Heavenly Jade, a divine item on par with Sun Immortal Gold.

Sure enough, the dormant fist guards deep within his left hand flesh sent out eager ripples.

"Devouring a damaged Dao weapon, this truly is a first," Gu Chen mused to himself.

Had he not been well-prepared, Meng Sheng and the others would have really caught him off guard.

To think that they would prepare a damaged Dao weapon just to deal with him was both astonishing in their willingness to spare no expense and yet pathetic in their failure.

Buzz!

The next moment, when Gu Chen grasped the red lotus made from Red Blood Heavenly Jade with his left hand, the sky shimmered with red light, and the damaged Dao weapon struggled violently.

Swish!

At this time, the twin cosmic cauldrons emerged, and their vibrations immediately suppressed it.

The combination of the two cauldrons possessed power comparable to a Dao weapon, not to mention that the fist guards themselves were also extraordinary.

No matter what, the red lotus was not a complete Dao weapon and thus stood no chance of resistance; it was devoured by the fist guards.

Boom!

In an instant, an azure war robe materialized on the surface of Gu Chen’s body, its vibrations peerless, enough to shock the world!

"Not far from a true Dao weapon now!" Gu Chen’s expression was exhilarated as he sincerely felt a surging joy.

The fist guards, which he acquired in the Lower Realms when he wasn’t even a Martial Arts Grandmaster, had been with him ever since, evolving from a damaged weapon to now near perfection, a journey only Gu Chen himself understood.

In his early days, when he didn’t possess the Space Cauldron or the Time Cauldron, had it not been for the fist guards, many critical moments would have been extremely difficult to overcome.

"Worth it!" Gu Chen muttered to himself, a bright smile appearing on his face.

Vibrating, the azure war robe formed from the fist guards was truly extraordinary, making Gu Chen appear as valiant and divine as a deity in this world.

"Now, the only thing I’ve been longing for is the fourth piece of the fragmented jade," Gu Chen pondered.

Origin Island had been open for some time now, yet the fourth piece of the fragmented jade had never appeared, which greatly puzzled Gu Chen.

Had it not been for the palpitations in his sea of consciousness upon the island’s emergence, which he felt distinctly, Gu Chen would have thought it an illusion.

"Perhaps, the timing isn’t right yet." In the end, that was the only way Gu Chen could comfort himself.

After all, as long as the fourth piece of the fragmented jade appeared, he was certain to be the first to sense it, without any doubt.

"The greatest fortune of Origin Island, I have already experienced the Innate Source Pool, the supreme heavenly medicines are untraceable, coming without a shadow, leaving without a trace, now the only thing remaining is the most critical, apart from the Origin of All Worlds, there’s the so-called Origin Stele."

Gu Chen recalled the information that Chancellor Situ Yin informed him of; he hadn’t considered the Origin of All Worlds, as it was debatable whether such a thing even existed.

As for the Origin Stele, it was said to be the beginning of all things, exceedingly transcendent, inscribed with astonishing secrets.

If one could comprehend the contents recorded on the Origin Stone Stele, it’s possible they could control Origin Island and grasp the secrets of the beginnings of all the heavens and myriad worlds, which would be truly astonishing.

Of course, even if one cannot comprehend it, it is said that the Origin Stone Stele can also bestow a kind of innate ability upon living beings.

"In the Origin Epoch, at the dawn of the creation of Heaven and Earth, it is said that the innate gods and demons were born from the Pool of Innate Origins and then bathed in the light of origin from the Stone Stele, which revived them and endowed them with various innate divine abilities, immensely powerful, laying the foundation for achieving the ultimate height in the future."

Even Gu Chen has to marvel at the Origin Stone Stele, which is indeed extraordinary. It can even be said to be the biggest opportunity on the entire Origin Island aside from the source of all worlds.

Whoever can unravel it will gain supreme power, a legacy passed down through generations.

Alas, even the innate gods and demons created here have not been able to fully comprehend the things recorded on the Origin Stone Stele.

"But as long as you are illuminated by the light of origin, you will gain an innate ability. If the Origin Stone Stele appears in this world, it will definitely attract all the strongest beings on Origin Island."

When the time comes, the Golden Roc Clan and the Fire Sect, along with the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Hall of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, will all make their appearance.

Upon this thought, Gu Chen’s expression suddenly became cold and indifferent; he is not willing to let go of these four powers.

"An incarnation of the Asking Dao Realm? I will cut you all down cleanly!" Gu Chen’s eyes were chilling as he spoke sternly, he could already imagine, if the incarnations of the four ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan met the same fate as Zhan Tian, the clan leader of the Three-Eyed God Clan, they would undoubtedly be furious beyond measure.

"Very soon, it won’t be long before I fear nothing, even if you come in your true form!" Gu Chen whispered, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Then, the following time once again became calm, as Gu Chen began to search for Dao Stones.

Containing Dao Patterns within, they are very helpful for cultivation, like being enlightened, allowing rapid progress.

Gu Chen knows that once Origin Island closes, such opportunities will no longer exist.

Meanwhile, he has also been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the fourth piece of the broken jade, while he has not paid attention to supreme level heavenly medicines.

Of course, he has heard of a mighty being who had encountered it, but ultimately, no one was able to capture it. Many people persist in their search, chasing tirelessly.

Soon, six months passed in a flash.

During this time, Gu Chen thoroughly consolidated his cultivation. But to further advance a hundredfold and break through to the complete stage of the Primordial Realm was extremely difficult, and he even felt the emergence of a bottleneck.

"The Origin Stone Stele, or the fourth piece of the broken jade, are the keys to my breakthrough to the complete stage of the Primordial Realm." Gu Chen intuitively felt this point and was deeply convinced of it.

In the past half year, the upper world has been very quiet, and although there have been disputes on Origin Island, they were not severe.

It’s worth mentioning that not long ago, the Origin Stone Stele appeared in this world. When this legendary object appeared, the entire Origin Island boiled over.

Even many mighty beings believed that the source of all worlds might also be at the location of the Origin Stone Stele.

But during this time, there were prohibitions around where the Origin Stone Stele was located, making it inaccessible to outsiders; even Gu Chen had tried but ultimately was not successful.

The light of origin can give birth to all things and naturally can also erase all things; Gu Chen was unable to break the prohibitions formed by this kind of energy, not even the Asking Dao Realm could.

"Indeed, just as the dean said, Origin Island seems to have a consciousness of its own, offering opportunities to us." Gu Chen’s expression was solemn, perhaps this is the operation of the will of Heaven’s destiny.

This shows that this era is truly extraordinary and may be the last great era.

Origin Island, following a certain will, is nurturing cultivators like Gu Chen, hoping they can make breakthroughs, then overcome the last cosmic calamity, and endure the invasion of the Underworld.

Unfortunately, from Gu Chen’s current perspective, this still seems very unrealistic.

The last era’s figures like the Ice Emperor did not accomplish this, and without a supreme being in this era, it seems even less likely.

Moreover, if the ancestor of the demonic world wakes up, even if twenty supreme beings of the upper realm joined hands, it would still be difficult to contend.

At this thought, Gu Chen’s heart couldn’t help but feel heavy.

"The most pressing matter is to first find out whether the Golden Roc Clan and the Fire Sect have sworn allegiance to the Holy Sect; if they have..." Gu Chen’s expression became even more severe, if it were true, once he left, the Golden Roc Clan and the Fire Sect would face retribution.

Thud!

Suddenly, the entire Origin Island trembled, and a wave of semi-transparent light emerged from the deepest part, spreading across the whole island.

"It’s the direction of the Origin Stone Stele!" Gu Chen, who had been there before, recognized it at once.

The next moment, a thought appeared in his mind: "Could it be that the prohibition of the Origin Stone Stele has disappeared?"

With this thought, Gu Chen’s expression shook, and he hurriedly set off towards it.

As long as one can gain some understanding, they can invoke the light of origin and obtain an innate divine ability. Who wouldn’t want such an opportunity? Even those in the Asking Dao Realm would be envious!

Such an opportunity, Gu Chen would of course not let go, not to mention he also suspected that the fourth broken jade piece might be with the Origin Stone Stele, so he was even more eager to go there.

"I have a premonition that the strongest legacy of all time is about to emerge!" Gu Chen’s expression was excited.

Naturally, this also further indicated the severity of this era, even the strongest inheritance that was once shattered by the heavens for being too defiant is about to emerge, indicating the hope for cultivators to inherit it.

Swoosh!

Gu Chen was incredibly fast, the Space Imprint was an eighth grade Unlimited Divine Power, mastering the power of the void, like spatial leaping. His speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he covered tens of thousands of miles, even further.

In no time, Gu Chen arrived at the Origin Stone Stele. Its location was a plateau, with a huge stone stele covered in mysterious and unfathomable light of origin, standing tall like an eternal primordial mountain, majestic and boundless, solemn and distant. Any cultivator who sees it would feel awe, a genuine sense of trepidation.

That is the Origin Stone Stele, it is said to record the secrets of the origin of all things. If one can comprehend it, they can obtain supreme power, and even have the hope to control Origin Island, mastering the most magical power of origin light!

One after another, the strongest beings stood below the plateau, eyes filled with expectation, looking up at that place.

It would not be long before all the mighty beings of the Primordial Realm on Origin Island would converge here.

At that time, some long-standing grievances will also have to be settled!
