My son is about to break through.

"What's the matter!"

Gu Yang looked at the person in front of him and asked calmly.

Gu Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the secret guards have already found out the news about Prince Yun!"

"Say!"

Gu Yang's expression changed and he asked urgently.

It has been several years since Gu Xiu left Jiuzhou. Gu Qingfeng asked the court to find out Gu Xiu's whereabouts two years ago.

At the beginning, Gu Yang didn’t care too much about it. He just thought that it might be because Gu Xiu had been away from home for a while and Gu Qingfeng missed him a little.

However, as the secret guards investigated further and could not find any trace of Gu Xiu, Gu Yang realized that something was not right.

After all, in recent years, the Shenwu Dynasty seemed to be in a safe corner and had no intention of interfering in the ancient world, but secretly, the Shenwu Dynasty had secretly sent many people deep into the Eastern Region to establish an intelligence network.

For example, when it comes to finding out about someone, even if you can't find their whereabouts exactly, it's impossible that there is no trace at all.

Now that there is news about Gu Xiu, it is impossible for Gu Yang not to care.

Gu Yi said: "Several years ago, King Yun appeared in the Huangji Mountain in the southern region. It was the former site of the Huangji Holy Land. Later, the Huangji Holy Land declined and was destroyed by many forces.

Not long after King Yun appeared on Huangji Mountain, he was besieged by other monks, who suspected that he had inherited the legacy of the former Great Saint Huangji. "

"Two years ago, a great battle broke out outside Tianxing City, and King Yun was besieged by several Dao Palace Realm masters. Later, it was heard that the remaining soul of the Great Saint Huangji appeared and borrowed King Yun's body, so he was able to escape."

"Not long after, King Yun entered an ancient teleportation array and disappeared without a trace!"

As Gu Yi finished speaking, the entire imperial study was filled with a terrifying murderous intent. Gu Yang's majestic face was cold and stern, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Can you find out which forces are attacking King Yun?"

“There are no less than a hundred forces that have attacked King Yun, and the three leading forces are the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, the Southern Region Zhou Family, and the Southern Region Wang Family.

These are the intelligence of all forces, please have a look, Your Majesty!"

All the information that Gu Yiba had already sorted out was presented in front of Gu Yang.

The latter looked through it for a long time, his expression becoming increasingly indifferent.

"Ancient Wasteland Holy Land... Southern Region Zhou Family!"

"Humph, do you really think that people from my Shenwu Dynasty are easy to bully?"

Among the hundreds of forces that participated in the encirclement and suppression of Gu Yang, there were many large forces with powerful Dao Palace realm masters in charge, such as the Zhou family in the Southern Region and the Wang family, which were all considered saintly families.

and.

It's not like the Shangguan family, which only produced one saint.

Whether it is the Zhou family or the Wang family, several saints have emerged in the past years.

As for the ancient holy land.

It is an ancient force that has existed for 600,000 years.

One hundred thousand years ago.

An invincible Saint King emerged from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land and swept across the Southern Region. The reputation of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land was also pushed to its peak.

But since the death of the Holy King, the strength of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land has declined a lot.

but.

A camel is so thin that it is bigger than a horse.

Today, the heritage of the Ancient Holy Land cannot be underestimated.

After all, it has only been a mere 100,000 years since the Saint King passed away, and his foundation has not been truly exhausted. Moreover, in the following 100,000 years, several powerful saints have emerged from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land.

Ten thousand years ago.

There is also a top existence in the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land who has reached the level of a half-step great saint.

If that Half-Step Great Sage could attain the Great Sage realm, he could restore the glory of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land. Unfortunately, he failed to break through in the end.

……

"Ancient Wasteland Holy Land!"

"This force should not be underestimated—"

Gu Yang had a solemn expression. Compared with the foundation of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, the current Shenwu Dynasty was far inferior.

The gap between the two sides lies in the accumulation of time.

The Ancient Wasteland Holy Land has a history of 600,000 years. Many powerful people have emerged from it over the endless years, and each of them can leave a legacy for the holy land.

Over the years, the Ancient Holy Land has become extremely terrifying.

In fact.

There are many existences like the Ancient Holy Land in the entire Ancient World.

Some forces have even existed for millions of years, and their foundation is unfathomable and almost impossible to shake.

In addition-

What Gu Yang cares about most is the residual soul of the Great Sage Huangji.

He didn't know whether Gu Xiu had been possessed by the other party. If he really had been possessed, the consequences would be quite serious.

originally.

Gu Yang wanted to tell Gu Qingfeng about this immediately, but thinking that the other party was now in seclusion and was obviously trying to reach a higher level, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

The more important point is that Gu Xiu is now missing, and even if we tell the other party, it won’t change anything.

"Let the secret guards search for Prince Yun's whereabouts with all their strength. Any news should be reported to me immediately. Also, my father is in seclusion, so the secret guards must not disturb him!"

Gu Yang gave the order in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi bowed and accepted the order.

Subsequently.

Gu Yang announced that he would go into seclusion. Unless the matters at the court were extremely urgent, they would be temporarily handled by many ministers. If it was really difficult to make a decision, he would step forward to resolve it.

-

The vast and mighty dynasty now seems to have returned to peace.

The king is in seclusion.

The court operated in an orderly manner.

The Sky Patrol Guards patrol the Nine Provinces, and any cultivator who violates the laws of the imperial court will be directly suppressed by the Sky Patrol Guards.

It's worth saying.

The current commander of the Sky Patrol Guard, Nanyueshan, is extremely talented. Just a few years after breaking through the peak of the Grandmaster level, he relied on the resources of the imperial court to directly break through the barriers of the Grandmaster level and was promoted to the Divine Transformation level.

It can be said.

The breakthrough at Nanyue Mountain made him the first true Divine Transformation Realm cultivator in Jiuzhou, apart from Gu Qingfeng.

Strictly speaking, the secret guards under Gu Qingfeng's command are not considered native cultivators of Jiuzhou.

Breakthrough from Mount Nanyue.

The strength of the Sky Patrol Guards increased greatly.

Having a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm in charge and not having a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm in charge are two different concepts.

In addition, Nanyueshan has the treasures bestowed by the court and has practiced some impressive skills. In terms of true strength, he is comparable to the cultivators at the second or third level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

and so.

The reputation of the Sky Patrol is also growing.

This day.

The capital was shaken.

An extremely terrifying sword intent rose into the sky, like the sun shining brightly in the world. All the cultivators in Guangyang Prefecture instinctively looked up at the sky, and everyone had a look of shock on their face.

"Such a terrifying sword intent, how could such a strong person exist in Jiuzhou!?"

The cultivators who had reached the Divine Transformation Realm were trembling in their hearts and minds, and their blood and energy were shaking instinctively, as if they were being stared at by something terrifying.

This kind of sword intent is as terrifying as the abyss, and it seems that even a slight leak of its aura can easily wipe out oneself.

hard to imagine.

What kind of powerful person can possess such terrifying power?

However, some cultivators who had participated in the battle at Tianxiong Pass couldn't help but think of the scene at that time when they saw this kind of sword intent.

no doubt.

In the entire Guangyang Prefecture, there is only one strong man who has such sword power.

"Ba Dao Gu Qing Feng!"

"That person's strength has become even more terrifying!"

Some monks looked horrified.

Ever since Gu Qingfeng became famous in the ancient world, all his past deeds have been dug up.

As for Gu Qingfeng's original title of Martial Saint, it was naturally impossible for it to be recognized by the cultivators in the ancient world.

After all, there have been countless powerful people in the ancient world throughout the ages. No matter how amazing Gu Qingfeng's strength is, he is not to the point of being honored as a Martial Saint.

and so.

The title of Tyrant Sword has re-entered everyone's sight. Combined with the terrifying sword art that Gu Qingfeng had demonstrated at the beginning, the other party is naturally worthy of the title of Tyrant Sword.

"Father has a breakthrough!"

Gu Yang, who was in seclusion trying to reach the Divine Transformation Realm, was suddenly stimulated by the sword intent, and the barrier that was originally just one step away was broken in an instant.

boom!
Qi and blood transformation.

The terrifying energy and blood force evolved towards the realm of divine transformation, and every drop of blood seemed to be filled with supreme divine power.

After a long time.

Only then did this force subside.

Gu Yang felt the changes in his body, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "This is the power of the Divine Transformation Realm, it is indeed incomparable to that of a Grandmaster!"

Before he broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm, he could suppress ordinary Divine Transformation Realm warriors with his strength. Now that he has broken through, ordinary Divine Transformation Realm warriors are no match for him.

and.

After breaking through the Divine Transformation Realm.

Gu Yang also discovered that the fortune of the Shenwu Dynasty seemed to have become much more solid.

This is a virtuous cycle.

The growth of the fortune of the Shenwu Dynasty can benefit Gu Yang, the monarch, and thus speed up his cultivation. But at the same time, if Gu Yang breaks through, it can also enhance the fortune of the dynasty in disguise.

After all, as a monarch, Gu Yang's existence is quite important to the Shenwu Dynasty.

and so.

Gu Yang was not too surprised to see that the fortunes of the dynasty had changed.

but.

The Shenwu Dynasty still has a long way to go before it can transform into an empire.

For any dynasty, it is not enough to have a few top powerhouses born. Only when the strength of a country's subjects improves can it truly enter the ranks of the dynasty.

and so.

Among the forces that are also governed by the Dao Palace, the dynasty is often much more powerful than some sects and holy places.

Now that he had made a breakthrough, Gu Yang was in a good mood. He then walked out of the secret room and looked in the direction of Gujiazhuang.

The sword intent soars into the sky.

It's like the sun rising across the sky.

If Gu Qingfeng had not broken through this time and his powerful sword intent had not stimulated Gu Yang, it would still take some time for him to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

This is what cultivation is all about.

It's about talent, but it's also about opportunity.

"After my father's breakthrough, his strength must have improved further. I just don't know how far he has reached!"

Gu Yang murmured to himself. He still had no idea about Gu Qingfeng's strength.

Every time I thought I had a clear view of his strength, I discovered that this was just the tip of the iceberg of my father.

Such unfathomable strength not only makes Gu Yang feel awed, but also gives him a great sense of security.

The Shenwu Dynasty’s ability to reach this point today is inseparable from Gu Qingfeng’s support.

……

After a long time.

The sword intent gradually weakened.

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, his gaze was like two divine swords cutting through the void. The huge knife sharpening hall was shaking violently, and many divine weapons bowed their heads in submission like living beings.

moment.

Gu Qingfeng let out a long breath and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"The Ancient Heavenly Sword is now complete!"

"I gained a lot from this retreat."

The breakthrough of the Ancient Heavenly Sword meant that Gu Qingfeng could make another breakthrough in his own realm, and it also saved two thousand improvement points.

You know, two thousand improvement points are a lot. If used for realm breakthrough, it will allow him to enter the peak realm of the tenth level of Dao Palace Realm.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng skillfully opened the information panel, and what came into his eyes was a message that made him feel very happy.

……

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' was stimulated by the sword intent of the Ancient Heavenly Sword, and his cultivation broke through to the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*700!"

"Reward: 100 Divine Blood Pills!"

"Reward: 100 Spiritual Nourishing Pills!"

"Reward for the dead warriors (top talents)*3000!"

"Reward: the Great Saint Weapon, the Divine Emperor Cauldron!"

……

"Three thousand death warriors!"

"Great Saint Soldier!!"

Gu Qingfeng didn't expect that Gu Yang's breakthrough this time would really allow him to get another group of death warriors.

and.

This group of death warriors, like the previous group, are all top-notch geniuses.

Now that Jiuzhou is bordering the Ancient Realm, the upper limit of top-class talents has been completely opened. If nothing unexpected happens, geniuses of this level will at least be able to enter the Divine Transformation Realm in the future.

As for whether one can break through to the Dao Palace realm and the higher Saint realm, it depends on one's own opportunities.

After all, if you want to cultivate to that level, it is difficult to do it just by relying on talent, it depends more on opportunity.

There are many examples in the ancient world of people with average talents, but due to various opportunities, they eventually became top powerhouses.

and so.

Talent only determines the lower limit, but it definitely cannot influence the upper limit.

But no matter what, the three thousand supremely talented warriors greatly supplemented the manpower that Gu Qingfeng originally lacked.

Such a group of people are scattered in the ancient world. Even if only one tenth of them can break through the Dao Palace realm, they are an extremely terrifying force.

and.

Who can guarantee that there is no strong person among these people who can achieve sainthood?

As long as there are enough dead soldiers, there will be a chance to create a surprise eventually.

but.

Compared to three thousand assassins.

What really caught Gu Qingfeng's attention was the additional reward given by this information panel.

Great Saint Soldier!
As Gu Qingfeng thought about it, an ancient tripod appeared in front of him.

The ancient tripod seemed to be made of bronze, with divine light and Taoist rhyme pervading it, as if it was evolving all things in heaven and earth. A terrifying aura of oppression spread out, as if suppressing the eternal void.

This is the Divine Emperor Cauldron!

Gu Qingfeng shed blood to acknowledge his master and left his own soul mark.

There was no obstruction during the entire process, and the Divine Emperor Cauldron did not struggle at all, as if it was willing to surrender.

Wait until you recognize your master.

Gu Qingfeng held up the Divine Emperor Cauldron and could feel the terrifying power contained in this treasure.

With such power, the Yunlei Ding, a holy weapon, is much more powerful.

"This is the Great Saint Soldier!!"

Before obtaining the Great Saint Soldier, Gu Qingfeng could not truly understand the power of this treasure.

Until now.

Control the Divine Emperor Cauldron.

Only then did Gu Qingfeng understand the power of such a treasure.

With the Great Saint Weapon in hand, he had a premonition that even if a true saint was born, he could easily kill him.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng put the Divine Emperor Cauldron into the Dantian Taoist Palace.

When the Divine Emperor Cauldron appeared in the Dantian, the Yunlei Cauldron, which was a holy weapon, trembled slightly, as if it was afraid.

Followed by.

Gu Qingfeng just looked at his attribute panel.
