The Seven-Orifice Divine Rock and the Immortal Foetus—You’re Not Worthy
## The enormous chasm of difference in status—still acceptable (please subscribe)
“What?”“Young Master Changge is going to cut that Immortal Foetus? Really?”
Hearing Gu Changge’s words, everyone present couldn’t help but look over in shock.
Even the cultivators not far away who had been examining the other Seven Divine Rocks stirred slightly, hurrying over to gather around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the grand occasion.
In fact, they had already noticed earlier when that True Daoist berated Jiang Chen.
After all, as an exceedingly rare Source Master, Jiang Chen had been quite the prominent figure during this period—at least in the current marketplace, there were few who didn’t recognize him.
Just moments ago, Jiang Chen had even helped several senior figures cut out a few Longevity Herbs, earning their goodwill.
But when it came to offending a True Daoist, everyone’s choice was unanimous—they all stood by with folded arms, silently watching the show from the sidelines, pretending not to see, keeping quiet.
Almost in an instant, the news that Gu Changge intended to cut the Immortal Foetus swept through the area around the marketplace, causing an enormous sensation.
There was no one who didn’t know of the Immortal Foetus’s existence. It could be said to be the most valuable of the Seven Divine Rocks—one that no one could afford to cut.
“Could Young Master Changge really be planning to cut this Immortal Foetus?”
Streaks of divine rainbows flew over rapidly. Many people, brimming with intense interest, all rushed over.
“Could that Immortal Foetus truly be cut open today?”
From other directions, quite a few great figures also came upon hearing the news, their hearts deeply shaken, feeling that Gu Changge didn’t seem to be joking.
“If it’s Brother Gu, he might actually be able to gather those Immortal Crystals. Perhaps today we’ll get to feast our eyes.”“That Source Master doesn’t look like someone who could produce Immortal Crystals.”
The Phoenix Lady’s lovely, moving face was full of brilliant color as she couldn’t help but speak softly.
She was an extremely proud person—very few could earn her regard and attention. Gu Changge alone was the exception.
Earlier, when Jiang Chen spoke up wanting to cut the stone, her brows had furrowed, feeling that this person seemed to be thinking a bit too much of himself.
“Young Master Changge doesn’t seem like someone who speaks carelessly. If we’re blessed by his fortune today, we might truly get a glimpse of what’s hidden within this Immortal Foetus.”
The Eldest Princess of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, Yu Feiya, also had her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Gu Changge.
Her skin was crystalline, her figure tall and slender, exuding a noble and elegant temperament.
At this moment, her gaze was glued unblinkingly to Gu Changge, causing many of the young talents who had been secretly watching her to lament inwardly.
“Something like Immortal Crystals—Brother Gu really might be able to produce them. It’s said that not only did he empty out the Purple Mansion’s reserves, but during the campaign in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, he also took the largest share of resources. Those various ancient clans were basically all scoured clean by him.”
The King of Six Crowns’ words could hardly conceal his envy.
They could be considered moderately wealthy themselves, but compared to Gu Changge, they seemed worse off than beggars.
“Is Young Master Changge serious about this?”
Hearing the many voices around him, the White-Bearded Old Man was also quite shaken. In his view, Jiang Chen and Gu Changge simply couldn’t be compared.
Even describing them as one in the heavens and one on the earth would be an insult to Gu Changge.
Someone like Jiang Chen—what right did he have to cut stones? He had probably never even seen what an Immortal Crystal looked like.
What Source Master? In the eyes of True Daoists like them, he was no different from an ordinary cultivator.
But when Gu Changge said he wanted to cut the stone, that was enough to make him treat the matter with great seriousness.
“Of course I’m serious. Could it be that qianbei thinks I’m joking?”
“Something like the Immortal Foetus—indeed, not just anyone is worthy of cutting it.” Gu Changge smiled faintly, his expression natural.
The White-Bearded Old Man’s face also broke into a smile. He glanced at Jiang Chen off to the side and said in agreement, “Young Master Changge speaks most truly.”
Everyone could hear the implication behind these words, and the looks they directed at Jiang Chen grew even more mocking and amused.
Boom!
At this moment, waves of powerful and terrifying auras came from the sky above. Those arriving were all ancient beings, their countenances grave, wreathed in Chaos Energy, their figures blurred and indistinct.
Among them were quite a few who had once sworn a Dao Heart Oath and could not go against the principles of stone-cutting.
“Could Gu Changge really be able to produce that many Immortal Crystals?”
Jiang Chen’s expression was extremely ugly. He felt his face burning hot, as if he had been humiliated and then slapped in the face on the spot.
“Young Master Changge, when we swore our Dao Heart Oaths back then, we stated that this Immortal Foetus was valued at one hundred Immortal Crystals.”
“One hundred Immortal Crystals will buy this Immortal Foetus.”
Among the ancient beings who had arrived, one person’s expression turned solemn as he spoke.
Although he was a True Daoist, he didn’t dare put on the slightest airs before Gu Changge, treating him entirely as an equal.
“What?”“Hiss—one hundred Immortal Crystals...”“That price is too frightening!”
The crowd, who had been looking forward to this, all changed color at these words, sharply sucking in cold breaths.
The many seniors and sect masters of great sects who understood what kind of divine object Immortal Crystals were felt their scalps go numb, their eyes widening involuntarily.
They had still underestimated the value of this Immortal Foetus. They had thought ten Immortal Crystals was already the limit.
But they never expected it to be one hundred Immortal Crystals—this was already an unimaginably astronomical price.
In the current Beyond, who knew how difficult it would be to gather one hundred Immortal Crystals.
What power could say with certainty that they could assemble one hundred Immortal Crystals?
One hundred Immortal Crystals—they really dared to name that price.
The An Clan’s ancestor, An Wangshan, had also now appeared behind An Xi and the others, the skin of his face twitching slightly, clearly deeply shaken.
“Grand Uncle, what exactly does one hundred Immortal Crystals mean?”
An Xi, Jiang Chen, and the others showed puzzled expressions, still not quite clear on what category one hundred Immortal Crystals fell into.
But judging from the drastically paling faces of the great figures around them, it had to be something extraordinary.
“I was once fortunate enough to obtain a single Immortal Crystal. I treasured it and hid it away carefully. That I was later lucky enough to break through to the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm was also thanks to that Immortal Crystal—it contained Immortal Dao fragments and even some Immortal Source.”
“One hundred Immortal Crystals, for an immortal power, could even produce multiple True Daoists within a short period of time...”
An Wangshan’s face carried a trace of envy as he couldn’t help but shake his head.
Hearing this explanation, the many cultivators who hadn’t understood what one hundred Immortal Crystals meant—including the Sky Demon Sovereign, the Young War Immortal, and others—couldn’t help but suck in cold breaths, their entire bodies trembling violently.
For an ordinary Cult of Immortality, a single True Daoist was already an existence of remarkable foundation.
But these one hundred Immortal Crystals could produce multiple True Daoists—and within a short period of time, no less.
This was simply a divine object whose value could hardly be measured.
“If one had one hundred Immortal Crystals, who would use them to buy this Divine Rock?”
Someone couldn’t help but murmur, sunk in extreme shock, still not having recovered their senses.
“No matter how wealthy Gu Changge is, he absolutely cannot produce that many Immortal Crystals.”
“This is absolutely impossible.”
Jiang Chen’s heart was also in the grip of enormous shock. After coming back to his senses, his eyes reddened slightly as he stared fixedly at Gu Changge.
His fists clenched tight, filled with unwillingness. He thought of how during this period he had fought desperately for a bit of cultivation resources, even nearly losing his life—yet he had never even seen what an Immortal Crystal looked like.
Gu Changge, meanwhile, could stand high above, his expression unchanged at the mention of one hundred Immortal Crystals, facing it calmly and composedly.
This filled his heart with intense unwillingness, reminding him of Xiao Ruoyin’s resoluteness when she abandoned him some time ago.
After all, as long as she attached herself to Gu Changge, she needn’t worry about anything—endless cultivation resources, techniques, and Transcendent abilities were hers to choose from. She never had to fret over such things.
Had she fled with him instead, not only would she face Gu Changge’s pursuit afterward, she would also have to toil and worry over every single Spiritual Stone for cultivation.
This enormous, ice-cold chasm of difference in status was like an invisible mountain, crashing down heavily upon Jiang Chen’s heart, making even his breathing grow difficult.
His fists clenched deathly tight. Although he could understand Ruoyin’s choice, he simply could not comprehend it—could not forgive it!
“One hundred Immortal Crystals—though the price is a bit frightening.”
“It’s still acceptable. I’ll take this Immortal Foetus.”
Just as everyone was reeling in shock over the asking price of this Immortal Foetus, Gu Changge shook his head lightly, his face seeming to carry a faint sigh as he spoke.
As if it pained him a little, too.
“Still acceptable?”
The expressions on the faces of the White-Bearded Old Man and the others instantly became extraordinarily colorful—shock, stupor, disbelief.
They had already prepared themselves for Gu Changge to shake his head and refuse after hearing the price.
But they never expected him to say it was still acceptable!
It made them wonder if their ears had misheard.
At this moment, it wasn’t just them who had fallen into a daze. The many sect masters and renowned seniors present also had their mouths half-open, momentarily unable to speak.
Just how wealthy did one have to be to say such words?
The expressions on the faces of the Phoenix Lady, the King of Six Crowns, Yu Feiya, and the others also froze, plunged into enormous shock. They opened their mouths, wanting to say something, yet not knowing what they could say.
“However, I don’t have Immortal Crystals. I do have a bit of this, though. Take a look—if it’s suitable, I’ll have someone cut this Immortal Foetus.”
Gu Changge shook his head slightly, with no intention of wasting words. With a lift of his hand, a sealed jade jar fell into the White-Bearded Old Man’s hands.
Back in the Celestial Ancient Continent, with Yue Mingkong’s help, he had entered the Celestial Gate and obtained quite a few Celestial Spirits within.
In truth, Celestial Spirits were Immortal Source—the two were nearly of the same origin.
After giving some to Yue Mingkong, Xi Yin, and the others, Gu Changge had kept plenty for himself.
Over the years he had refined some, but a good amount still remained.
So he casually took out a portion. Immortal Crystals were the spirit crystals of Immortal Source—the most important substance within them was Immortal Source itself.
A single fist-sized piece of Immortal Source was enough to condense dozens of Immortal Crystals.
That one jar of his was more than sufficient.
Gu Changge also had not the slightest worry about inviting disaster by possessing a treasure. Across the vast Beyond, who would dare openly snatch something from his hands?
Watching this scene—especially seeing Gu Changge’s casual, nonchalant gesture—everyone’s expressions went blank, unable to utter a word.
No Immortal Crystals? Then what was sealed within that jade jar?
The White-Bearded Old Man and the others nodded, wasting no words. They understood what kind of status Gu Changge held—there was no way he would toy with them over such a matter.
So the few of them directly waved their sleeves, sealing off the surrounding space. This way, the crowd could only see some of the scene within but could not perceive their conversation.
“This is...”
The next moment, seeing clearly the green mist within the jade jar—each wisp woven from Immortal Dao fragments, permeated with a surging and vast aura—the faces of the White-Bearded Old Man and the others revealed intense shock. Their entire bodies trembled violently, their disbelief reaching the extreme.
They judged almost instantly what this was. Their expressions changed drastically, their breathing becoming incomparably rapid. Exchanging glances, they swiftly resealed the jade jar, not daring to let even the slightest trace of its aura leak out.
As True Daoists, they were naturally no fools—they understood that the value of these things surpassed that of Immortal Crystals.
