Gu Mingfeng has returned.

This news naturally caused a stir within the sect.

No one thought of it.

Six ancient immortals went to the Purple Sun Domain, and surprisingly, some of them actually managed to return alive.

after all.

Before Gu Mingfeng returned, the soul lamps of the remaining five people had all gone out.

This means.

All five perished outside.

for this result.

Many people were not surprised.

After all, the Ziyang Domain is now in chaos, and there are countless beings who aspire to immortality. Not to mention ancient immortals, even immortal emperors may not be able to come out alive.

If an ancient immortal were to enter, they would be no different from cannon fodder.

With their lifespans running out, this was their final, desperate battle, so their deaths were to be expected.

Although Gu Mingfeng's soul lamp had not gone out, in the eyes of other cultivators, it was only a matter of time before it went out.

however.

Now Gu Mingfeng is back.

It is certainly shocking.

However, the happiest person was Shufeng.

Gu Mingfeng is an elder of the Art Peak. If the other party returns alive, it means that the Art Peak will have another top expert.

However, Gu Mingfeng ignored the commotion from the outside world and went into seclusion to cultivate after returning to the Xuantian Dao Sect.

one year later.

At the pinnacle of skill.

The heavenly tribulations converge.

The appearance of the Immortal Emperor Tribulation shocked all sides.

Although they knew that Gu Mingfeng must have obtained a great opportunity since he returned alive, they did not expect that he could reach the Immortal Emperor realm in such a short time.

now.

The Celestial Emperor Tribulation has occurred.

Gu Mingfeng then stepped into the Chaos Tribulation.

This unusual phenomenon naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Elder Gu is about to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. It seems that our Art Peak is about to produce its second Immortal Emperor!"

"It's hard to say. The Immortal Emperor Tribulation is terrifying. Whether Elder Gu can successfully overcome it remains to be seen."

Some were delighted while others were worried. After all, they had all witnessed the power of the Immortal Emperor Tribulation. Mingxi's successful breakthrough was only due to Shen Changqing refining a supreme treasure for her.

If there is no supreme treasure.

There is absolutely no possibility that the other party will survive the Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

Gu Mingfeng is currently facing the Immortal Emperor Tribulation, and whether he can overcome it is unknown.

"Master, do you think Elder Gu can survive this tribulation?"

Gu Daoxuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Mingxi's expression became subtle: "It's hard to say. Whether one can survive the Immortal Emperor Tribulation depends on one's own foundation. Elder Gu entered the Chaos Dao Palace and obtained unparalleled opportunities, so it's difficult to fathom his strength and foundation."

However, his ability to directly attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm after a year of seclusion suggests he must have some solid foundation.

This sentence.

Mingxi herself didn't seem very confident in what she said.

The Celestial Emperor Tribulation is something that's really hard to predict.

Given the current situation, Mingxi only hopes that Gu Mingfeng can successfully overcome his tribulation.

After all, if the other party succeeds, Shufeng will have one more Immortal Emperor.

that time.

The peak of his skills will naturally increase significantly.

However, things like the Immortal Emperor Tribulation are difficult to judge.

……

now.

In the midst of chaos.

The Immortal Emperor Tribulation has already begun.

The terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation struck down, intending to kill Gu Mingfeng on the spot. The latter made no attempt to hide anything and directly summoned the ancient cauldron to resist the heavenly tribulation with the power of the supreme treasure.

Even though the Immortal Emperor Tribulation was powerful and terrifying, it couldn't do anything to the ancient cauldron.

As a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact, the latter's power should not be underestimated.

In the blink of an eye.

Dozens of heavenly tribulations passed.

The ancient tripod remained completely unshaken.

See this scene.

Within the Xuantian Dao Sect, many cultivators secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Steady!

With such a supreme treasure protecting him, the mere Immortal Emperor Tribulation is nothing to worry about.

"The Chaos Dao Palace is truly full of opportunities. Elder Gu not only reached the Immortal Emperor realm after entering it, but also obtained such a protective treasure."

Mingxi sighed with emotion. That ancient cauldron was clearly extraordinary, far more powerful than the Mountain and River Cauldron in his own hands.

For a moment.

Mingxi even wants to visit the Ziyang Domain.

However, after thinking about it, he gave up on the plan.

Places like the Purple Sun Domain are not places one can easily interfere with.

Gu Mingfeng's ability to obtain an opportunity and return alive only shows that he was lucky. In fact, countless cultivators have already perished on the path of seeking opportunities.

On the road to success.

They are all the bones of the defeated.

If his lifespan is limited, then Mingxi will naturally have to take a gamble.

However, he has only recently broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm and is currently at the peak of his lifespan, so there is naturally no need for him to take any risks.

The Immortal Emperor realm has a lifespan of billions of years, while he has only lived for less than a billion years, so he naturally has no need to worry about these issues.

soon.

All 108 heavenly tribulations then dissipated.

An aura belonging to the Immortal Emperor realm swept out instantly, but before Gu Mingfeng could make a move, many powerful figures hidden in the chaos suddenly attacked.

the goal--

It was naturally Gu Mingfeng.

To be precise, it was the ancient cauldron held by the other party.

For most Immortal Emperors, a top-grade Emperor-level artifact is an immense temptation.

Now that such a treasure has fallen into the hands of a newly ascended Immortal Emperor, it is naturally difficult for them to resist.

and so.

The moment Gu Mingfeng survived his tribulation, these hidden powerhouses seized the opportunity to vie for this supreme treasure.

Among these powerful figures who made their move were beings from other immortal realms, as well as fallen immortals who were waiting for an opportunity to strike. But regardless of their backgrounds, they all shared the same goal at this moment.

That moment.

A terrifying aura erupted, causing Gu Mingfeng's expression to change drastically.

Although he has entered the Immortal Emperor realm, there are many powerful figures who have made their moves, and the strength of any one of them is no weaker than that of an Immortal Emperor.

With so many beings wielding their power, it would be difficult not only to resist, but even to withstand it.

But at this moment.

Crimson sword energy transformed into a river from the heavens, descending as if covering the entire chaotic void. All attacks vanished instantly, and those powerful figures who had been hiding in the shadows were unable to escape the sword energy's punishment.

The sword energy falls!

Body and soul dissolve—

These powerful individuals didn't even have time to utter a scream before they instantly perished on the spot.

……

quiet!
The vast, chaotic void was completely silent.

As they watched the crimson sword energy descend and engulf the chaotic universe, the other cultivators who wanted to attack but didn't have time felt a chill run down their spines, and a great terror surged into their hearts.

The power of this sword strike was enough to cause the deaths of at least dozens of Immortal Emperors.

Even top-tier Immortal Emperors felt their hands and feet turn cold upon seeing that power that had not completely dissipated, and had no intention of resisting it at all.

"Slaying Immortal Sword Qi—"

"The one who made the move is Shen Changqing of the Xuantian Dao Sect!!!"

Some powerful individuals, upon seeing the power contained within the crimson sword energy, immediately recognized the origin of this technique.

The methods of the powerful beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm may look similar, but the Daoist power they contain is actually completely different.

Shen Changqing's methods are very familiar to many powerful individuals.

Especially now that Gu Mingfeng is undergoing his tribulation, although it is in the chaos, it is very close to the Divine Heaven Domain. Other powerful figures are naturally familiar with such methods.

It can be said.

As soon as the sword energy of Zhuxian appeared.

It instantly brought the other cultivators to their senses.

joke.

Even a fool can see that the powerful figures who are currently undergoing tribulations and attaining enlightenment are from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

These sects are so powerful that even immortality can be taken advantage of; how could they possibly dare to be enemies with them?

While top-grade imperial artifacts are desirable, one must be alive to obtain them.

If Gu Mingfeng doesn't have any special background, then the other party is definitely doomed this time.

However, if the other party is backed by the Xuantian Dao Sect, then that's a different story.

The reason why the strongest among the top powers often face the lowest risk in proving their path to enlightenment lies here.

After all, the risks of transcending tribulation come not only from the threat of heavenly tribulation, but also from the threat of other cultivators.

Many powerful individuals managed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, but ultimately perished at the hands of other cultivators.

no way.

Most cultivators who undergo tribulation, even if they barely manage to survive, will inevitably suffer severe damage to their vital energy, and their strength will be inferior to that of their prime.

The flesh, blood, and soul of these powerful cultivators are also of great benefit to many cultivators.

At times like these, they certainly won't hold back.

Especially for fallen immortals, such immortal emperor blood and energy are equivalent to hundreds of millions of ordinary cultivators. If one can devour their life essence, there will be many benefits.

Of course.

If someone can easily overcome the tribulation, and remains in peak condition even after the tribulation, most cultivators will not act rashly.

Such a powerful individual cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

To fight against them.

The risk is too great.

Then there are those like Gu Mingfeng, who use powerful treasures to overcome the heavenly tribulation.

Such treasures can move people's hearts.

It's inevitable that it will tempt other cultivators.

However, as long as there is a top-tier power backing them up, these problems will no longer exist.

Although the Xuantian Dao Sect is not a very ancient power, it only has a foundation of a few billion years.

Compared to those forces that have been passed down for hundreds of billions of years, or even originated from ancient times and the primitive era, they are far inferior.

but.

If we really want to compare strength...

The Xuantian Dao Sect is not much inferior to these forces.

After all, not all ancient forces are able to retain a strong foundation.

Although many ancient forces were fortunate enough to survive, they did not necessarily have an immortal figure to govern them.

With Shen Changqing, a powerful figure who is not immortal but surpasses immortality, the Xuantian Dao Sect's strength and foundation are beyond doubt.

With such a powerful expert in charge, many cultivators dare not challenge the sect's strength.

Especially now.

Shen Changqing's sword strike from afar killed dozens of Immortal Emperors, a feat that chilled the hearts of many.

Anyone with eyes can see that the rise of the Xuantian Dao Sect is now unstoppable.

When the great calamity arrives in the future, if the master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect steps into the semi-saint realm and is able to attain immortality, then he will surely be even more terrifying.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the Xuantian Dao Sect produced only one Immortal Emperor. Now, another cultivator has stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm. The foundation of this sect is becoming increasingly terrifying!"

Some of the stronger individuals sighed inwardly, their hearts filled with envy.

For most forces, producing even one Immortal Emperor is no easy feat.

With powerful figures from the Xuantian Dao Sect attaining Dao one after another, how could such momentum not inspire envy? (End of Chapter)
