My son is about to break through.

Chapter 501 Twenty-Six Grade Green Lotus
"boom!"

The Heavenly Venerable sheds blood!

Even immortality is difficult to withstand under the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

From the start of the war to the fall of the three masters of the forbidden zones, only a short time had passed.

But when the last Lord of the Forbidden Zone was killed on the spot, Luo Tian immediately withdrew the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. His face turned slightly pale, but he quickly recovered.

"A sixth-grade creation treasure, indeed, is not something that just anyone can use!"

Luo Tian smiled bitterly to himself.

He was shocked not only by the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, but also by the consumption of this supreme treasure.

Even with his own cultivation at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, just activating the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation for a short while nearly exhausted his strength, and his soul felt intensely fatigued.

Fortunately.

Luo Tian is indeed a Celestial Venerable.

After a short rest, although he couldn't return to his peak condition, his strength had recovered somewhat.

this moment.

Luo Tian already understood.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation should never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

After all, if one cannot kill the opponent, one's own strength will be exhausted, and then it is very likely that the opponent will turn the tables and win.

Such a treasure must be seized by surprise and struck decisively.

After recovering slightly.

Luo Tian then charged towards the numerous evil gods below.

With his cultivation at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, even if his power is completely depleted and his strength is less than one-tenth of its peak, it would still be a devastating blow to other evil gods.

With a thought, Luo Tian unleashed nine immortal swords that pierced the void, reaping the lives of evil gods one by one.

These are nine immortal swords.

It is naturally the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

However, unlike the true power of activating the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, simply activating the nine Immortal Slaying Swords and using the sharpness of these treasures to fight is much easier.

Luo Tian had not forgotten Gu Qingfeng's final instructions.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is not only his backup plan, but also a way to nurture this supreme treasure using the blood of an evil god.

……

Battle report!

Like snowflakes, the snowflakes kept falling into Gu Qingfeng's hands.

With dozens of immortal beings joining forces and an army of over 50 billion, they could practically sweep away everything in their path.

Thirty-six Immortal Realms.

Not an opponent at all.

In less than ten years, sixteen immortal realms fell under the control of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

On average, it takes about half a year to conquer a celestial realm.

this speed.

That's certainly amazing.

……

When another immortal realm completely submits to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

"boom!"

The azure lotus trembled, and the twenty-six-petaled azure lotus reflected in the void, which was witnessed by many immortal realms belonging to the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

As the fortunes of the Immortal Dynasty shifted, Gu Qingfeng's cultivation level also improved.

"After subduing the seventeenth immortal domain, including the original Vermilion Bird and Azure Cloud immortal domains, that makes a total of nineteen immortal domains."

Only with so many immortal realms could the fortune of the immortal dynasty be barely raised from the 25th rank to the 26th rank.

It seems that improving the Celestial Dynasty's fortunes will be even more difficult than I imagined!

Gu Qingfeng felt the changes within his body. This advancement in the Immortal Dynasty's fortune had allowed him to successfully enter the late stage of the Fourth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable realm.

This result.

It is certainly pleasing.

However, Gu Qingfeng also deeply felt just how difficult it was for the Immortal Dynasty's fortune to advance.

I thought.

In the Ten Directions Immortal Realm, one can roughly advance to the 26th grade of Azure Lotus.

But the result.

However, it used a full nineteen immortal realms.

The seventeen regions that follow are actually no less powerful than the three great immortal realms of Falling Star, Vermilion Bird, and Azure Cloud in terms of their foundation.

Some of these immortal realms are even stronger than the three major immortal realms.

Even so.

Only now can the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty be promoted to the 26th rank.

visible.

Just how difficult is it?

To know.

This is merely a promotion to the 26th rank.

If one were to advance to the 27th, 28th, or even the final 37th rank, the amount of luck required would be astonishing.

Even though Gu Qingfeng was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat shocked by this result.

but--

Advancing to the Immortal Dynasty is indeed difficult.

But the benefits are also obvious.

Two promotions in fortune.

This allowed Gu Qingfeng to break through directly from the initial stage of the Fourth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable to the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable in one go, which is equivalent to saving 20 billion upgrade points.

Two hundred billion points of improvement.

Based on Gu Qingfeng's current average increase of 100 million points every 100 years, that's roughly saving 20,000 years.

Don't be fooled by the fact that 20,000 years may not seem like a long time.

But the situation is changing rapidly these days; sometimes, 20,000 years more or less can make a world of difference.

for example.

If the evil god clan discovers the existence of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, having an additional 20,000 years to prepare will greatly increase their chances of victory.

For other celestial beings.

Twenty thousand years is not enough time to change much.

But for Gu Qingfeng...

Perhaps it will take 20,000 years to break through to a higher realm.

"Now that I've entered the late stage of the fourth tribulation, my strength should be roughly at the level of half-step sixth tribulation, but to say that I've truly broken through the shackles of the fifth tribulation and am on par with a sixth tribulation Heavenly Venerable, I'm still a little short!"

Gu Qingfeng focused his attention on himself and had a relatively clear assessment of his own strength.

When he was at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation, his strength was already at the peak of the fifth tribulation.

After breaking through to the middle stage of the fourth tribulation, although his strength improved somewhat, he still did not reach the level of a half-step sixth tribulation.

Until now.

His cultivation level broke through to the fourth stage of tribulation.

In Gu Qingfeng's view, his strength had truly entered the level of half-step sixth tribulation.

If he can break through the peak of the fourth tribulation, he will have a chance to break the shackles of the half-step sixth tribulation and truly break through to the level of a sixth tribulation celestial being.

This strength.

This naturally refers to the premise that no other means were used.

If he were to activate the secret technique, which would amplify his strength ninefold, Gu Qingfeng was confident that he had already taken a step forward from the initial stage of the Seventh Tribulation.

But it's hard to say exactly which level of the Seven Tribulations.

Perhaps one can enter the middle stage of the Seven Tribulations.

Perhaps it is still at the level of the seventh kalpa.

But regardless of the circumstances, the improvement in strength is real and undeniable.

Think about this.

Gu Qingfeng then continued his seclusion.

……

Years are like a shuttle.

Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

A terrifying lightning tribulation appeared from the sky, its terrifying aura startling all sides and instantly attracting the attention of many powerful figures.

"The Tribulation of Immortality!"

"Who has taken that final step yet?"

Many emperors looked shocked, yet couldn't hide their envy.

The Tribulation of Immortality!

The emergence of such divine tribulations signifies that someone has broken free from the shackles of the Great Emperor realm and is officially advancing towards the Heavenly Venerable realm, with the potential to attain the opportunity for immortality.

Although the chances of failing the Immortal Tribulation are extremely high, it is still a worthwhile gamble for many Great Emperors. But the problem is...

The vast majority of emperors.

They simply don't have the qualifications to attract the arrival of the Immortal God Tribulation.

at the same time.

Gu Qingfeng also sensed this aura. Deep within his pupils, a Daoist image was reflected: a figure in green robes appeared, followed by a sword intent that shook the heavens and earth, and a phantom of a green lotus that seemed to illuminate the world.

"Gu Shengnan... the second generation of the Gu family has finally reached this level!"

Gu Qingfeng had a faint smile on his face. The person who broke through this time was none other than Gu Shengnan.

Gu Qingfeng was not surprised that Gu Shengnan was able to reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

The other party was just one step away from immortality hundreds of years ago, but never managed to grasp the key to it.

now.

Gu Shengnan attained enlightenment after five hundred years.

It is perfectly normal to eventually walk the path to immortality.

One could tell from the sword intent emanating from the other party that this outstanding third-generation member of the Gu family had already comprehended his own path of swordsmanship.

"The sword intent is sharp and fierce, with an unstoppable momentum!"

"Even without external assistance, the probability of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm is at least 50%!"

Gu Qingfeng pondered to himself.

50% probability!

That's already quite astonishing.

The probability of an ordinary Great Emperor attaining immortality is already considered good if it reaches 10%, and some even have less than 10%.

If one has a 30% chance of success, they are considered among the best in the Great Emperor realm, possessing top-tier talent and foundation.

If the probability is 50%, it's like having 10,000 Great Emperors and not even one of them could emerge victorious.

As soon as Gu Qingfeng had this thought, the tribulation clouds suddenly moved, and purple lightning struck down fiercely, seemingly about to kill Gu Shengnan on the spot.

The summit of a mountain.

With a long sword on her back, Gu Shengnan looked at the descending purple divine tribulation with her clear and beautiful face. Her bright eyes, like stars, showed no fear whatsoever.

"go with!"

With a flick of her wrist, the long sword behind her was suddenly drawn, its sharp light like a rainbow, slashing fiercely towards the purple lightning tribulation.

"boom--"

The purple lightning tribulation exploded, and was actually cut in two by this sword.

But this action seemed to have completely enraged the Immortal Tribulation, as purple tribulation clouds surged and terrifying, thick lightning struck down fiercely.

moment.

The void shattered and disintegrated.

The vast expanse of space was transformed into a pool of destructive lightning.

Within this range, all living beings will perish.

Gu Shengnan's expression remained unchanged. Holding her sword in her delicate hand, her extremely profound sword intent evolved into a supreme blue lotus. Various Daoist charms descended, instantly transforming into boundless sword energy, which bombarded the thunder pool that had swallowed her.

boom!
Boom! ! !
The sword energy annihilated them.

The Thunder Pool shattered.

Gu Shengnan stood alone with her sword beneath the divine tribulation, her feet resting on a green lotus of sword intent, like a goddess descending to earth. Many cultivators who witnessed this scene were filled with longing and admiration.

"Eldest sister's strength has already reached this level. It seems that she will be able to safely pass through this tribulation of immortality without needing any backup plans left by our grandfather!"

In a certain void, Gu Shengan watched Gu Shengnan undergo her tribulation, and the shock on his face was undisguised.

beside him.

The person standing is naturally Gu Shengxing.

The latter, like him, had a very complicated expression on his face.

There is a shock!
But more than anything, I felt envy!

Years of arduous practice.

Both of them had reached the peak of the Great Emperor realm, at the level of a half-step Celestial Venerable.

No matter what.

So far.

None of them grasped the key to the Celestial Venerable's wisdom, nor took that crucial step.

Only at this moment did the two truly understand just how difficult it was to break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm and attain immortality.

It's no wonder that while there are many Immortal Emperors in the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, only a few dozen are truly capable of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Since Gu Shengnan hadn't made a breakthrough, neither of them had any particular thoughts about it.

But now that Gu Shengnan has taken the first step, the remaining two brothers naturally feel the pressure.

……

As the time goes.

The tribulation of immortality intensifies.

Gu Shengnan went from being calm and composed at the beginning to struggling noticeably later on.

But so far, the opponent has not used any other protective treasures, relying solely on his own swordsmanship to resist the Longevity Tribulation.

This scene.

Gu Qingfeng was naturally satisfied.

"By tempering one's Great Dao through the Longevity Tribulation, if one can survive this tribulation, then one will definitely be among the strongest among the First Tribulation Celestial Venerables!"

Although they are both First Tribulation Celestial Venerables, their strengths differ.

Someone like Xu Yulan, who relied entirely on a supreme treasure to transcend tribulation, essentially taking a shortcut, would be among the weakest of the newly promoted Heavenly Venerables.

However, someone like Gu Shengnan, who does not rely on external means but only uses her own sword intent to fight against the divine tribulation, will become a strong person at this level once she successfully overcomes the tribulation.

The Tribulation of Immortality.

It's not just a test, but also an opportunity.

If one can withstand the tempering of such a divine tribulation on one's own, then one can naturally benefit from it.

only--

Since ancient times.

Only a handful of cultivators are truly capable of surviving the tribulation of immortality based on their own inherent abilities.

Many cultivators, even with the help of external forces, are not guaranteed to succeed.

Of course.

Regarding the tribulation.

Gu Qingfeng is a true standout.

Therefore.

Only then could he possess a physical body comparable to a Four Tribulation Celestial Venerable, and at the Four Tribulation Celestial Venerable level, he could have the strength comparable to a Five Tribulation Celestial Venerable, or even a half-step Six Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

visible.

How much benefit can one gain from facing the tribulation of immortality with one's own inherent strength?

Just saying.

Even if other Great Emperors and Celestial Venerables knew of these methods, it would be difficult for them to replicate them.

Again.

Not everyone can withstand the Tribulation of Immortality with their own inherent strength.

If you were to do that, the probability of failure would be exceptionally high.

For many cultivators, it is enough to overcome the tribulation of immortality and reach the realm of immortality.

Whether one can benefit from the Longevity Tribulation is a secondary matter.

Gu Qingfeng thought to himself.

The tribulation of immortality continues.

but.

Although the subsequent tribulations of immortality are terrifying, they are also coming to an end.

When the last divine tribulation was extinguished by the sword energy, the vast purple tribulation clouds suddenly dispersed.

at the same time.

A powerful and terrifying aura emanated from Gu Shengnan, instantly sweeping across the entire Immortal Realm.

"Boom!!!"

That moment.

The entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm seemed to be filled with the simultaneous roar of ten thousand swords.

Many cultivators felt their swords tremble violently, emitting soft hums, and some even had their hilts shaking, as if they were paying homage to a supreme being.

Such an unusual phenomenon is naturally even more shocking.

"A thousand swords pay homage!"

"Our swordsmanship has finally produced a transcendent and saintly master!"

Many sword masters looked excitedly at the figure in blue robes in the void, their eyes filled with awe.

Master of the Azure Lotus Sword!

This honorific title is deeply etched in their minds.
