When Mu Chen closed his eyes, his perception quietly spread out. He was sensing the Immortal Origin that was scattered in the surroundings due to the explosion of the Immortal Golden Body.
After all, the Immortal Origin was cultivated by him. So even if he couldn't control it, Mu Chen could still sense its existence and location.
They were like countless specks of light that were scattered in the surroundings.
"It's here!"
Mu Chen quietly sensed the Immortal Origin. Suddenly, his heart jolted. He could sense that the space where the Immortal Origin was scattered was emitting a faint fluctuation that slowly devoured those specks of light.
In just a few dozen breaths, the Immortal Origin that was scattered by Mu Chen's explosion had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
However, Mu Chen knew that his Immortal Origin did not disappear, but was absorbed by the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.
This was exactly what he had expected.
Calming his mind, he attached his perception onto the Immortal Origin. As the Immortal Origin fused with the heavens and earth, the surrounding environment began to change. The heavens and earth disappeared, replaced by a world filled with purplish-golden radiance.
There were countless purplish-golden specks of light floating in this world, which made Mu Chen's heart tremble. Those specks of light were all Immortal Origin. Compared to the Immortal Origin that he had obtained from his opponents, it was like comparing a stream to an ocean.
"Such a robust Immortal Origin must have been accumulated by the Primordial Immortal Pagoda over the past tens of thousands of years, right?" Mu Chen looked at the purplish-golden world in shock.
If he could absorb and refine the Immortal Origin, then his Immortal Golden Body would grow to a terrifying level. Huff!
Huff!
While Mu Chen was sighing, there was a sudden commotion in the purplish-golden world. Mu Chen's perception that was attached to the Immortal Origin trembled. He could sense that there was a scanning fluctuation sweeping through his perception.
It was a scan that contained a trace of antiquity.
"I've been discovered?"
Mu Chen was startled, but he didn't dare to make any strange movements.
As he didn't dare to move, a purple-gold light suddenly gathered in front of him. In the end, the purple-gold light formed a blurry figure before him.
"After so many years, someone has finally come." Although the appearance of the light figure could not be seen clearly, an aged voice could be heard. Moreover, it was clearly heading towards Mu Chen.
Seeing this, Mu Chen's hidden strand of consciousness emitted light and gradually turned into a ray of light. He carefully looked at the blurry light in front of him and cupped his fists together. "Junior unintentionally intruded, I hope senior won't blame me. May I know who you are?"
The blurry figure smiled and said, "I'm the consciousness of the Wangu Pagoda, right? Looks like you're quite smart to have guessed this method of entry. But you're quite courageous."
Mu Chen naturally knew that the blurry figure was referring to the self-destruction of the Immortal Golden Body. After all, an ordinary person wouldn't have the courage to self-destruct the Immortal Golden Body that they had cultivated for so many years.
"I have no choice but to do so at this moment of life and death."
Mu Chen bitterly smiled and said, "But it's all thanks to senior's reminder."
"Sigh. That mutant is too hateful. I can't deal with it. I can only give it some hints when it's seizing the Immortal Origin." The blurry figure sighed.
"As expected!"
Mu Chen felt relieved in his heart. His previous senses were right. Every single time that dark-golden silhouette plundered the Immortal Origin, it would issue a weird roar. But it wasn't something that it wanted to do, it was something that the silhouette before him had done.
"Senior, what's going on?
What's that dark-golden figure? "Mu Chen asked in puzzlement.
The blurry light figure slightly fluctuated as a glowing picture scroll appeared before it. The picture scroll slowly unfurled and Mu Chen focused his gaze on it. On the picture scroll, there was an azure-robed male. Mu Chen wasn't able to see his appearance clearly, but he could sense an unprecedented mysteriousness and pressure from the back of that figure.
The green-robed man descended from the sky and landed on the ground. Then, he personally built an ancient stone tower.
Mu Chen was extremely familiar with that pagoda. It was the Primordial Immortal Pagoda!
Seeing this, Mu Chen's heart trembled. He already understood that the azure-robed man in the painting should be the legendary Immortal Emperor, the strongest powerhouse in the ancient times!
"Back then, the Immortal Emperor constructed the Primordial Immortal Pagoda and placed the Primordial Immortal Body here. At the same time, he also spread the cultivation technique of the Immortal Golden Body in the Great Thousand World.
"The motive behind this is to find a suitable owner for the Primordial Immortal Body, and the second is to gather the Immortal Origin to repair the Primordial Immortal Body." The aged voice resounded.
"Repair?" Mu Chen's gaze flickered.
"Back then, when the Immortal Emperor fought with the Fiend Clan's Tian Xie, the Primordial Immortal Body was heavily injured and fell into hibernation. This was the reason why he left it here to repair itself."
"So that's the case." Mu Chen nodded his head before he asked, "But what's with that silhouette?
It shouldn't be the Primordial Immortal Body, right? "
"How can it be considered as the Primordial Immortal Body?" The aged silhouette smiled in disdain before he sighed, "Over the past tens of thousands of years, there have been many powerhouses that have cultivated the Immortal Golden Body. Their arrival provided the Primordial Immortal Body with boundless Immortal Origin, speeding up the recovery of the Primordial Immortal Body."
"But I never expected that there would be an anomaly."
"Anomaly?"
"Yeah, the Immortal Origin in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda is too great, and the Immortal Origin came from different Immortal Golden Bodies. Although I have already purified them, there were still some that were left out."
"Unbeknownst to me, an incomplete consciousness lurked within the boundless Immortal Source, and then secretly devoured the other Immortal Source. By the time I sensed its existence, it was already extremely powerful. In the end, I used all my strength to suppress it."
"But it has plundered too much Immortal Origin, causing the Primordial Immortal Body to be unable to come out of its slumber. Damn it."
Mu Chen's heart trembled. When the dark-golden silhouette appeared, it did come from a dark-red mountain. Now it seemed that it was suppressed under the mountain.
"So that dark-golden silhouette was formed from pure Immortal Origin." Mu Chen finally understood why that fellow had such a dense Immortal Aura.
"You guys have cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, which contains the Immortal Origin. That's why it has such strong killing intent towards you guys."
"That thing has become the greatest tumor. If we don't get rid of it, it will continue to plunder more and more Immortal Origin. In the end, it might even devour the Primordial Immortal Body. At that time, I'm afraid that it will create a monster with a chaotic consciousness."
"I've been troubled by this for a long time, but due to the rules, I can't contact you guys directly. I can only warn you secretly to see if you guys can comprehend it and come here in another form."
Hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. He had cultivated for so many years just for the Primordial Immortal Body. If that mutant obtained it, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"What can I do, Senior?"
Mu Chen pondered. His target was the Primordial Immortal Body, and the most important thing right now was to stop that mutant.
But that mutant was too powerful, and he wasn't its opponent at all. The previous contact had forced him to self-destruct his Immortal Golden Body. If they fought again, he would most likely lose his life.
"That mutant has already matured. Unless there is a Saint Heavenly Sovereign among you, it will be difficult to subdue it," the old figure said slowly.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head as his brows knitted together. "Is there any other way?"
"Yes."
The old figure fluctuated with some excitement.
"What?"
The old figure said word by word, "Awaken the dormant Primordial Immortal Body!"
Mu Chen's heart trembled as boundless excitement surged from the depths of his heart. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Can I give it a try?"
The old silhouette smiled, "Of course, the fact that you can come here is proof of your courage and boldness. This is the qualification that you deserve."
As he spoke, the old figure waved his hand and Mu Chen felt the purplish-golden world start to dissipate. He lowered his head and saw a mysterious glass-like radiance faintly appearing in the depths of the purplish-golden world.
Mu Chen stared at the glass-like radiance and imprinted the scene in his eyes.
There seemed to be a figure seated within the glass light. That figure seemed to be made of glass, with every inch of its skin engraved with ancient runes. Those runes gave off a primordial fluctuation, as if they were formed when the world was formed, mysterious and unfathomable.
An immortal aura enveloped it, giving off a feeling of eternity, as if it could resist the erosion of time.
It was only a few feet in size, but it was ancient and powerful. Even in a dormant state, it still emitted an indescribable pressure that was even more powerful than a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
Mu Chen looked at the ancient glass-like body with endless desire and blazing in the depths of his pitch-black eyes. At this moment, his body couldn't help trembling, even with his composure.
The Primordial Immortal Body.
I've finally met you.
