My son is about to break through.

Purple Mansion Sacred Land!

The Celestial Dynasty Amidst a Sea of ​​Clouds!

Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Jiang Jue's face turned horrified.

As an ancient immortal, he had lived for countless years, so how could he not be aware of the existence of these two major forces?

But it is precisely because we understand this that we are shocked.

If we're talking about strength, both of these two forces are formidable in the entire Immortal Realm, yet they've been annihilated. No wonder the Immortal Emperor before him feels pressured.

not to mention.

Among them is the figure of a deity comparable to the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

"Your subject will certainly devote all his efforts to comprehending the formation, so as to share the burden of the Immortal Emperor!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Jiang Qing."

"Furthermore, this is the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, and now it is returned to its rightful owner!"

Jiang Jue suddenly seemed to remember something and took out the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Gu Qingfeng moved his divine sense, and the blood-red array plate rose out of thin air and landed directly in front of him.

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng had taken away the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Jiang Jue said no more.

"I resign!"

Done.

He then put away the Zhou Tian Micro Dust Array and the Lesser Zhou Tian Star Array, and respectfully withdrew.

Having obtained these two formations, Jiang Jue was already eager to study them.

Jiang Jue retreated.

Gu Qingfeng's gaze fell on the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Compared to the treasure of yesteryear, this treasure exudes a much more powerful and murderous aura. Although it is still within the category of a seventh-grade creation treasure, it is considerably stronger.

If one continues to refine oneself with the blood of living beings, advancing to the eighth rank is only a matter of time.

But Gu Qingfeng could understand.

The transformation from the seventh to the eighth rank is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

Even now.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation has been through countless battles.

However, compared to an eighth-grade Creation Spiritual Treasure, there is still a huge gap.

Even at the eighth rank, this is already the case.

Advancing to the ninth rank is even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Just say it.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation can theoretically advance one to the ninth rank, but theory is one thing, and only through actual practice can one truly understand its difficulty.

Think about this.

Gu Qingfeng then temporarily put away the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Granting this power temporarily is useless; without sufficient cultivation, wielding the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation would only invite disaster.

After all, a seventh-grade creation treasure that can grow is enough to attract the attention of many top experts.

There was no problem in giving it to Jiang Jue, after all, he was a Sixth Tribulation Celestial Venerable who could truly unleash the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Even if a Seventh Tribulation Grand Celestial Venerable were to take action, it would not be easy for him to obtain such a treasure.

But if it were another celestial being...

Possessing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is like a child flaunting gold in the marketplace; it's bound to attract covetousness.

This is different from before.

In the past, the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty was not well-known, and the number of forces that truly paid attention to it was limited.

But now.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty was powerful.

There are countless forces secretly watching.

If an ordinary Celestial Venerable were to appear wielding the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, it would likely not be long before top experts would try to seize it.

Having a seventh-grade creation treasure in front of you is enough to make many forces covet it.

Even if it offends the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, they are willing to do so.

Moreover.

As long as they act discreetly, the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty might not be able to detect anything amiss.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then summoned Gu Yang.

"Father!"

"I will be going into seclusion for a period of time. You will be in charge of the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty. Unless it concerns the survival of the Immortal Dynasty, you may make your own decisions without consulting me!"

Gu Qingfeng looked at the person in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang's expression froze slightly, but he quickly recovered and nodded.

"My son obeys the order!"

"In addition... you can use the resources of the Immortal Dynasty's treasury at will. What you need to do now is to break through to the third tribulation, or even the fourth tribulation Heavenly Venerable, as quickly as possible."

The evil god clan is now coming on strong, and many forces have been destroyed one after another.

My Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty might just be the next target.

To preserve the legacy of the Immortal Dynasty and the bloodline of my Gu family, we must possess sufficient strength.

"You are the Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty, but your cultivation at the Second Tribulation Celestial Venerable Realm is ultimately somewhat lacking!"

Gu Qingfeng's words.

This made Gu Yang look ashamed.

"Your son has disappointed Father!"

"Your talent is not bad, the only problem is that you have not cultivated for long enough. But these are not big problems. If you have not cultivated for long enough, you can make up for it with resources."

Now, all the resources of the Immortal Dynasty, including those Great Dao Immortal Stones, are at your disposal.

Your only task is to improve your cultivation level; that's enough!

Gu Qingfeng paused briefly at this point, then added another word of advice.

"Of course!"

"Nothing should be rushed!"

"While improving one's cultivation is important, one should not sacrifice one's foundation for the sake of improving one's cultivation. The Tribulation of Immortality is no ordinary thing. If one rashly attempts to undergo the tribulation without sufficient foundation, one may perish at any time!"

Gu Qingfeng was also worried that Gu Yang would recklessly break through in order to improve his cultivation level. Even if he attracted the Longevity Tribulation, it would be useless if he couldn't overcome it.

Gu Yang naturally accepted the order with utmost respect.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then said no more.

Gu Yang himself was aware of some things, and there was no point in him saying too much.

It was just some advice based on my role as a father.

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Gu Qingfeng went into seclusion to cultivate.

the end.

He also left behind the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

"This Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation should not be used unless absolutely necessary—"

After thinking it over, Gu Qingfeng decided to hand over this treasure to Gu Yang, giving the other party another powerful trump card.

After all, Gu Yang's cultivation level was too low. With the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, he would at least have more confidence.

Even if we don't need it, it's better than having nothing at all.

After all, having a treasure but not using it is a different concept from not having a treasure at all.

Gu Qingfeng knew very well that his seclusion this time would not be short, and that he would focus on breaking through to the next level, so he could not be disturbed in any way.

The essence of secluded cultivation lies in that one insight.

Millions of years have passed, all for the sake of finding that one insight.

Once the insight is interrupted, it won't be so easy to find it again.

and so.

Gu Qingfeng certainly didn't want Gu Yang to come to him every time he encountered trouble.

With the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation in place, and given Gu Yang's status as Crown Prince, which allows him to mobilize the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty, it shouldn't be a big problem unless it's a powerhouse at the Eighth Tribulation level or above who takes action.

"Thank you, Father!"

Looking at the blood-red array plate in front of him, Gu Yang felt certain.

How could he be unfamiliar with the existence of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?

This treasure, in Jiang Jue's possession, also had a fearsome reputation, having killed countless powerful members of the evil god clan.

nowadays.

Gu Yang only needed to glance at the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to feel its terrifying killing aura, causing his entire body, blood, and soul to tremble.

The power contained in such a treasure is truly earth-shattering.

If activated, Gu Yang was confident he could resolve many troubles.

Seeing that Gu Yang had put away the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Gu Qingfeng said no more and his figure disappeared instantly.

After Gu Qingfeng left, Gu Yang looked at the empty immortal palace before him, took a deep breath, and also turned to leave. However...

After leaving, he did not return to the Crown Prince's residence, but instead went to the location of the Immortal Dynasty's treasury.

As a top-tier immortal dynasty, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty's treasury is naturally heavily guarded, with five experts at the Heavenly Venerable Realm alone, including a Great Dao restriction personally set up by Gu Qingfeng.

Under such circumstances, even if a Seven Tribulation Celestial Venerable were to personally arrive, it would be absolutely impossible to forcibly break into the treasure vault without permission.

but.

These are not problems for Gu Yang.

With the Crown Prince's token and Gu Qingfeng's verbal order, he was free to enter and exit these treasure vaults.

Upon entering the treasure vault, a starry sky appeared before Gu Yang's eyes.

Billions of stars adorn the night sky, as if the Milky Way reflects eternity.

These stars.

They all represent a treasure.

Anything that can be included in the imperial palace treasury must be at least at the level of a Celestial Venerable.

As for items below the level of Celestial Venerable, they are not qualified to enter the imperial treasury.

Gu Yang's divine sense spread out, covering the vast starry sky, and all the treasures appeared one by one.

"found it!"

He took a step and arrived in front of one of the stars.

There, one could see, a large number of immortal stones of the Great Dao piled up together.

These Dao Immortal Stones were all of low grade.

even though.

Low-grade Great Dao Immortal Stones are the worst of all Great Dao Immortal Stones, but they are something that could only be left behind after the fall of a Seven Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable.

For cultivators below the sixth tribulation level, such Great Dao Immortal Stones are sufficient to enhance their cultivation.

now.

These Great Dao Immortal Stones number approximately thirty million.

but--

Gu Yang didn't take all the Great Dao Immortal Stones with him; he only took one million.

Followed by.

He also traveled to other parts of the starry sky, taking away many eleventh-tier immortal medicines that were useful for cultivation.

at the same time.

Gu Yang even found some Daoist elixirs.

He was also familiar with things like the Great Dao Immortal Pill.

Those are things needed for cultivation by cultivators at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Gu Yang had also obtained such pills before, but not many.

But this time.

He took over a hundred bottles of Dao Immortal Pills from the treasure vault for his own cultivation.

"almost!"

Gu Yang glanced at the resources he carried and figured that it wouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate to the Three Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm.

That being the case.

Then there's no need to stay any longer.

After leaving the treasure vault, Gu Yang went straight to the Crown Prince's residence.

After returning to the Crown Prince's residence, he also began to cultivate in seclusion.

Although Gu Qingfeng put him in charge of the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty, Gu Yang did not need to devote too much energy to it. As long as it was not too important, he did not need to show his face. It was enough for other immortal officials to handle it.

……

Gu Qingfeng went into seclusion!
It went unnoticed by anyone.

After all, over the years, the other party has not handled government affairs very frequently, and often left the responsibility to Crown Prince Gu Yang.

and so.

Since Gu Qingfeng hasn't shown up yet, no one has raised any suspicions.

Therefore.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, both above and below.

Nothing has changed.

the difference is.

Outside the Immortal Dynasty.

The destruction of the Purple Mansion Holy Land and the Cloud Sea Immortal Dynasty seemed to be the beginning. The Evil God Clan mobilized in large numbers, and many powerful God Lords who should have been behind the scenes are now frequently taking action, constantly conquering one human immortal realm after another.

Many human forces were gradually destroyed in the face of the offensive of the evil god race.

But it is worth mentioning that...

Even though the evil god clan acted this way, no god-lord level powerhouse ever made a move against the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

The reason.

It was precisely because they were wary of Gu Qingfeng's existence.

Inherited from the outside world.

Gu Qingfeng's strength is comparable to that of a Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

Although the Evil God Clan is unsure of the truth of this matter, the fact that the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty was able to join forces with other powers to destroy the Chaos Holy Land is enough to explain a lot.

The original Chaos Saint Lord was a pseudo-Nine Tribulations level expert, and with a half-step Immortal Artifact in hand, he could be considered invincible below the Nine Tribulations level.

It was not the work of someone who had undergone nine tribulations.

They are absolutely difficult to suppress.

Therefore.

Gu Qingfeng's ability to kill the Chaos Saint Lord and destroy the Chaos Holy Land is beyond doubt in terms of strength.

Even if the other party cannot be compared to the Nine Tribulations Grand Celestial Venerable, he is at least half a foot in the Nine Tribulations level, comparable to the level of the Taiyi Saint Lord.

otherwise.

How could it be qualified to destroy the Chaos Holy Land?

and so.

Given these concerns, the other evil god lords naturally did not want to confront the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty head-on.

Without absolute certainty, a powerhouse of this caliber inspires immense fear.

Even some top-tier god-lords who have reached the Ninth Tribulation level do not want to rashly fight against the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

After all.

Ideally, a powerful figure at this level would be able to suppress the enemy without causing injury, but it would be a losing battle if it resulted in mutual destruction.

Moreover, the current situation has not yet reached that point, so they naturally do not want to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

certainly--

The fact that the top experts haven't made a move doesn't mean that the evil god clan will give up targeting the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

In fact.

Each of the evil god kingdoms is constantly sending more troops to invade the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, hoping to truly force out Gu Qingfeng, the Xuantian Immortal Emperor, and then see what the other side is really like.

Fortunately.

Despite having only a foundation of a few million years, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty still had numerous minor celestial star arrays that made the army of the evil god clan hesitate to advance.

A formation that is not terrifying unless it has undergone seven tribulations.

They are not to be underestimated.

This way.

Despite facing the invasion of the evil god clan and enduring immense pressure, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty was still able to barely maintain its position.

But on the other side.

Other human factions were not so lucky.

Without the foundation of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, the Evil God Clan had no scruples whatsoever, and many powerful figures at the God Lord level took action, destroying one immortal realm after another.

Countless immortal realms were shrouded in bloodshed and carnage.

Almost every moment, a celestial realm falls, and all humankind is slaughtered.

……

Within the sacred land of mountains and seas.

The Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas looked down into the chaotic void with his hands behind his back. He saw many stars exploding one after another and then disappearing completely. His face became much more solemn.

"More and more immortal realms are shattering; what on earth has the evil god clan gone mad—?"

The Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas felt heavy-hearted.

Although the Sacred Land of Mountains and Seas is attached to the Purple Star Immortal Court, it bears much less pressure.

However, the unusual actions of the evil god clan still put immense pressure on the Celestial Venerable of the Mountains and Seas.

Before figuring out the evil god clan's intentions, it's impossible to let our guard down. (End of Chapter)
