Gu Jianchou stated with composure, "These are Master Hong Luan and Master Ye Mei. They share my generation, and we've been friends for countless years. My endorsement of them isn't merely from our personal bonds. In fact, their situations perfectly align with what our friend Yu Yangchen requires. Should friend Yu aid them this once, they'll undoubtedly feel profound gratitude. Naturally, the final decision belongs to you, Yu Yangchen. I'm only offering an introduction here; no matter your pick, if anyone causes you issues over it, I'll voice my opposition first."
After listening to these words, Yang Chen responded softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Gu."
"No trouble at all. I plan to strive toward the World Life Period ahead. In that phase, I might remain secluded for several years without emerging. Once I come out of retreat, if you're facing any difficulties, don't hesitate to seek me out. I'll assist without any holdup if it's within my power," Gu Jianchou declared earnestly.
Yang Chen gave a slight bow, "With your assurance, I'll express my thanks in advance, Senior Brother Gu."
"It's hardly worth mentioning," Gu Jianchou chuckled.
Yang Chen kept conversing casually with Gu Jianchou from there.
In that interval, he posed questions to Gu Jianchou regarding his World Embryo, gaining a more profound insight into its nature.
Not long afterward, he departed alongside Ji Yueshuang and headed back to his personal chambers.
Along the path, he inquired of Ji Yueshuang concerning Murong Qi. Upon discovering that Murong Qi was thriving within the Shen Ye Sect, a wave of relief washed over him.
Back at his quarters, Chun Yue and Ling Shuang brimmed with delight, attending to him with utmost devotion. After all, Yang Chen's visits home were rare occurrences.
Once settled in, Yang Chen delved into a thorough examination of the Universe Destroying Map.
With a single bound, he plunged into the Universe Destroying Map!
Returning to this space once more, Yang Chen contrasted it against the feelings he'd experienced inside Gu Jianchou’s world. He grew utterly convinced that the Universe Destroying Map truly served as the World Embryo forged by Hua Qingfeng.
"Senior Hua Qingfeng truly was a genius without equal. He achieved the World Embryo stage amid the Spirit Realm's thin spiritual energy. What's more, he pioneered this domain entirely on his own. Had he received guidance from the Shen Ye Sect or Tai Yuan Palace, his breakthroughs would have soared even higher," Yang Chen reflected inwardly.
Now, as he scanned the surroundings, taking in each peak, stream, blade of grass, and branch in this realm, his viewpoint had shifted dramatically from his earlier visits.
"Senior Hua Qingfeng, you've bestowed upon me an extraordinary legacy," Yang Chen sighed deeply.
For a typical Heavenly Fate Realm Cultivator, attaining a World Embryo represented an elusive lifelong dream.
Encountering a World Embryo right before one's eyes was a fortune beyond most cultivators' wildest imaginings.
Fortune had smiled upon him now, placing a World Embryo directly in his path. He wouldn't have to build it from the ground up. Once he advanced to the initial phase of the Heavenly Destiny Realm and solidified his foundation, he could seamlessly step into the World Embryo stage, bypassing vast stretches of time that plagued average Heavenly Fate Realm practitioners.
Beyond that, it housed World Treasures crafted personally by Hua Qingfeng, all ripe for Yang Chen to harness fully.
A vast, prepared vault lay open before him, though regrettably, he lacked the strength to unlock its full might just yet.
"Given my present capabilities, I can't yet pinpoint the World Treasure Senior Hua Qingfeng hid within this realm," Yang Chen muttered, before submerging himself into the ocean depths.
There, he located the weapon spirit of the Universe Destroying Map.
The weapon spirit remained as listless as always. It regarded Yang Chen blankly, "You’ve arrived."
"Weapon Spirit, are you aware that the Universe Destroying Map is in reality a World Embryo?" Yang Chen questioned.
"World Embryo?" The weapon spirit appeared utterly bewildered.
From this reaction, Yang Chen realized the truth, "Never mind. Resume your slumber. I won't interrupt further."
As expected, Hua Qingfeng had indeed bequeathed the World Embryo prior to his passing, yet he withheld any details about it from those who followed. This Universe Destroying Map constituted that very World Embryo.
The entity within the Universe Destroying Map, meant to act as a weapon spirit, actually functioned more as a fabricated tool Hua Qingfeng devised for concealment. It was designed to convince others that the Universe Destroying Map was simply an unusual artifact, entirely unlinked to any World Embryo.
Hua Qingfeng went to great lengths in this deception, anticipating his impending demise. If he had disclosed the Universe Destroying Map as the World Embryo he'd labored to produce, not only the Spirit Realm but the entire Lingnan Two Realms might have plunged into chaos and peril.
A single World Embryo could drive countless powerhouses to utter frenzy.
Precisely for that reason, Hua Qingfeng fabricated this false facade, ensuring the Universe Destroying Map was seen as a mere treasure, preventing any connection to the World Embryo. Even the inner weapon spirit served as part of this elaborate ruse.
In the end, even Yang Chen had been thoroughly misled.
"Thus, the fabled Immortal Qi must actually be the World Essence Senior Hua Qingfeng preserved," Yang Chen pondered silently.
World Essence emerged from the condensation of World Power by supreme world powerhouses. Typically, no such expert would bother, since forming World Essence offered them no gain and only depleted their life force.
Yet for those who came after, the condensed World Essence held boundless value.
When kept close, it sharpened one's grasp of Taoist Intention and even the Laws themselves. When absorbed, it could propel one's cultivation forward.
Yang Chen felt a surge of admiration, "Senior Hua Qingfeng exhausted every effort to prepare a path for successors right before his end. It's tragic that no one in the Spirit Realm ever ascended to his level or grasped his intentions. Instead, they invented tales of Immortal Qi and whispered of Hua Qingfeng’s ascension...
Yang Chen let out a quiet smile.
He himself had only just begun to comprehend it, still far from matching Hua Qingfeng’s profound depths.
"Hmm?"
Yang Chen clasped his hands behind him, detecting ripples emanating from beyond.
He could readily surmise the situation, "It appears the Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses have arrived seeking me out."
With that in mind, Yang Chen swiftly exited the Universe Destroying Map and attuned himself to Chun Yue and Ling Shuang nearby.
"Master, Master Yuan Yang wishes an audience. He's waiting right outside the entrance."
Yang Chen glanced outward and spotted Yuan Yang positioned at his doorway, with Chun Yue and Ling Shuang powerless to bar his way. Clearly, only a thread of propriety held Yuan Yang from forcing entry.
In response, Yang Chen stayed composed and gestured invitingly, "Enter, please, Master Yuan Yang."
King Yuan Yang inclined his head politely and strolled inside without fanfare.
Yang Chen offered a faint smile, "Master Yuan Yang, is there something specific you'd like to discuss?"
Internally, Yuan Yang fumed, recognizing Yang Chen's deliberate feint.
He articulated deliberately, "Friend Yang Chen, my visit has an aim you can likely deduce. It's regarding the Seven-Colored Glaze Mineral. Should you provide me with a portion, I'm prepared to offer fair compensation in return."
