My son is about to break through.

in the hall.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

I saw the powerful men from various forces, led by the Zhou family, standing there with humble expressions, and in front of them were many blood-stained heads.

“Emperor Gu, my Zhou family has never had any intention of opposing the Shenwu Dynasty. The original action against Prince Yun was just a decision made by some people in the Zhou family.

When the head of my Zhou family learned about this later, he was furious, so he killed all those involved in this matter. Their heads are all here. I hope the emperor will calm down!"

Zhou Muyuan said respectfully.

He kept his attitude extremely low, even though he was a ninth-level Dao Palace Realm expert and Gu Yang had just entered the Divine Transformation Realm, Zhou Muyuan did not show any disrespect.

The ancient holy land was destroyed.

The entire southern region was shaken.

Given the ruthlessness of the patriarch of the Gu family, if the Zhou family does not find a way to satisfy the other party, I am afraid that the entire Zhou family will follow in the footsteps of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land.

at this time.

Other forces also spoke up, looking as if they were completely unaware of the situation and that it was just a minority acting on their own.

In this regard.

Gu Yang looked calm, looking at the many heads on the ground, and waved his hand: "Since it is my subordinates who acted on their own initiative, then I am not a stingy person.

You have shown enough sincerity, so let’s leave it at that.”

Speaking of it.

Gu Yang suddenly raised his voice.

"Somebody come!"

"What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Several guards entered from outside the hall and bowed to ask.

Gu Yang waved his hand and said, "Take all these heads and feed them to the dogs, so as not to pollute the peace of the court."

"Yes!"

Several guards immediately took the heads away.

Zhou Muyuan and the others lowered their heads and looked displeased at this scene, without showing any displeasure on their faces.

Subsequently.

Zhou Muyuan brought out another brocade box and said respectfully, "This is a small token of our Zhou family's appreciation as an apology!"

Gu Yang signaled with his eyes, and the eunuch beside him came down and took the brocade box away.

"The Zhou family is thoughtful!"

Gu Yang nodded slightly.

at this time.

Other forces also provided corresponding resources as compensation.

In this regard.

Gu Yang recruited all of them.

For the current Shenwu Dynasty, what it lacks most is resources.

Even though the Shenwu Dynasty has already annexed an ancient holy land, this is far from enough.

After accepting the apologies from various forces, Gu Yang finally showed a faint smile.

"I already know what you all mean, but I have to say some ugly words in advance. If the forces you belong to deliberately target people from my Shenwu Dynasty again in the future, it will never be resolved as easily as it was today.

I believe you all know very well what will happen at that time."

"Yes, yes, what the Emperor said is absolutely right. When we return, we will definitely instruct our disciples that such a thing will never happen again!"

"Yes, Emperor Gu, rest assured, we have never intended to be enemies with the Shenwu Dynasty."

"..."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly made promises, fearing that Gu Yang would take revenge on them later.

See this.

Gu Yang did not say much more, but ordered people to set up a banquet and invite all the forces that had come to attend the banquet.

Faced with such an invitation, they naturally did not dare to refuse.

For a while.

Both the host and the guests were happy.

-

This news.

Naturally, it reached Gu Qingfeng's ears first.

Gu Qingfeng also understood what Gu Yang did.

but.

He had no intention of intervening in these matters.

The other party naturally knew how Gu Yang should do it, and there was no need for him to give specific instructions.

half a month later.

Gu Qingfeng went into seclusion again.

This time.

He wants to practice the Nine Heavens Scripture.

In the past half month, Gu Qingfeng stayed in Gujiazhuang, often instructing the disciples in their cultivation, and then being affectionate with Xu Yulan.

to be frank.

Gu Qingfeng also wanted to see if he could leave behind another half-offspring.

After all, the higher the level of cultivation, the more talented the offspring will be.

But a pity.

And no results were seen.

In this regard.

Gu Qingfeng could only sigh that the responsibility of strengthening the Gu family's bloodline would still have to fall on other people.

……

Inside the knife-grinding hall.

Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, focused his mind on his own body, and began to comprehend the Nine Heavens Scripture in his mind.

He followed the practice method of Jiuxiao Tianjing and began to move his own Qi and blood. The terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered from all directions. In less than a moment, Gu Qingfeng completed the first level of the Jiuxiao Tianjing's body refining chapter.

however.

This hasn't stopped.

I saw the terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathering together, and the Jiuxiao Tianjing continued to break through.

The second level of body training!

The third level of body training!

The fourth level of body training!

The fifth level of body training!

……

In just less than a day, Gu Qingfeng's practice of the Jiuxiao Tianjing was unstoppable, and he completed the fifth level of the body refining chapter.

Five levels of perfection.

If it were someone else, no matter how talented they were, it would take at least several years.

As for his ability to cultivate so quickly, Gu Qingfeng attributed it to his own high level of semi-saint cultivation and the magical effect of the ancient immortal body.

After all, it would naturally be much easier to go back and practice the body-refining techniques again with the cultivation level of a semi-saint.

But precisely because it was easy, the Jiuxiao Tianjing, which had completed the fifth level of the Body Refining Chapter, did not bring much improvement to Gu Qingfeng.

but.

Gu Qingfeng didn't care about these.

With his current level of cultivation, even if the Jiuxiao Tianjing breaks through to the level of Grandmaster, the actual changes it brings are almost negligible.

Only after entering the chapter of divine transformation and even the chapter of Dao Palace can it play some role.

but.

It is not so easy to break through these two levels.

However, Gu Qingfeng's purpose of practicing the Jiuxiao Tianjing was only to save some improvement points for subsequent upgrades. He had never thought about relying on himself to practice the Jiuxiao Tianjing bit by bit to the Dao Palace chapter, or even to achieve enlightenment and become a saint.

-

time flies.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This past six months.

The Shenwu Dynasty was peaceful.

However, the resources obtained from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land and various forces in the Southern Region greatly increased the foundation of the Shenwu Dynasty, and its overall strength also improved by leaps and bounds.

The Shenwu Dynasty grew stronger.

The country's fortunes will naturally prosper.

The third-grade blue lotus, which originally represented the luck of the dynasty, was now gradually transforming to a higher level. However, the speed of this transformation was very slow. If one wanted to truly break the shackles of the dynasty and be promoted to an empire, it would still take a long time.

This is also very normal.

After all, the Shenwu Dynasty had only obtained the resources of many forces such as the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land for half a year. Even if it wanted to completely transform them, it would take a lot of time.

This day.

Gu Qingfeng's body shook, and the Jiuxiao Tianjing finally broke through the barrier of the Grandmaster Chapter and successfully broke through to the Grandmaster Chapter.

A powerful force of energy and blood revived from the body and flowed through every part of the body in a blink of an eye.

"Grandmaster Chapter!"

"The Nine Heavens Heavenly Scripture is indeed a Saint King-level technique. The difficulty of practicing it is incomparable to ordinary techniques!"

Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath to calm his boiling blood.

then.

He glanced at his attribute panel.

……

Age: 57!

Jiuxiao Tianjing (First Level of Grand Master Chapter)!

……

Gu Qingfeng glanced at his age, and then looked at the progress of the Jiuxiao Tianjing, which clearly showed the words "Grand Master Chapter".

"Fifty-seven years old!"

Gu Qingfeng felt a little emotional.

Now as his cultivation level increases, his concept of time becomes more and more vague. To Gu Qingfeng, age is just a number.

Today's him.

The body's functions are far from reaching their true peak.

Compared with the six thousand year lifespan of the Dao Palace Realm, the mere age of fifty is not worth mentioning.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the information panel skillfully.

……

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has gained some insights from practicing the Nine Heavens Heavenly Scripture, and his strength has improved to a certain extent!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has gained some insights from practicing the Nine Heavens Heavenly Scripture, and his cultivation has improved slightly!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has gained some insights from practicing the Heavenly Veins Sutra and has successfully condensed the first Heavenly Vein!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' swallowed the treasures of heaven and earth, and his cultivation was about to break through to the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm, but he was forcibly suppressed, further polishing his foundation!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has a stronger foundation!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Xuan' has inherited the legacy of a mysterious strongman in the secret realm, and his strength has greatly increased!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Xuan' is taking the ancient elixir and has broken through to the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*300!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Xiu' is being attacked by demons*102361!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Xiu' is being attacked by demons*136592!"

"Your descendant Gu Xiu has been attacked by demons many times and has narrowly escaped death countless times, causing his immortal divine body to awaken early!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Xiu' swallowed the demon's inner elixir and broke through to the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*300!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Xiu' swallowed a large amount of demon inner pills and broke through to the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*300!"

"Your descendant Gu Xiu suddenly had an epiphany and gained some understanding of the Heavenly Vein Sutra, and successfully condensed the first Heavenly Vein!"

"Has your descendant Gu Shengnan been training in the martial arts world? Has he gained some insights into the Azure Lotus Sword Art and achieved a breakthrough to the sixth level?"

"Your descendant, Gu Shengnan, has been helping the weak and fighting against the strong in the martial arts world, and has been honored as the 'Fairy Qinglian' by all parties in the martial arts world!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Shengxing' has received guidance from a powerful person and has broken through to the late stage of the Bone Refining Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*30!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Shengan' has received guidance from a powerful person and has broken through to the late stage of the Bone Refining Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*30!"

"Your offspring..."

……

A large amount of dense information appeared. Gu Qingfeng glanced at it and discarded a lot of useless information, leaving only some useful information to read carefully.

Gu Qingfeng was also a little surprised when he learned that Gu Yang and Gu Xiu had successively cultivated the Tianmai Sutra to the first level.

The power of Tianmai Sutra.

Of course he knew it very well.

The difficulty of practicing this technique was unprecedented in his life.

Because of the power of the Tianmai Zhenjing, Gu Qingfeng was not stingy with this technique, and almost all the direct descendants of the Gu family had obtained the practice method of the Tianmai Zhenjing.

Unfortunately.

Until now.

Only Gu Yang and Gu Xiu were able to enter.

The rest of the people didn’t gain much for the time being.

but--

Apart from this.

What concerned Gu Qingfeng the most was Gu Xiu's change.

"Immortal Divine Body!"

"Xiu'er also possesses a divine body?"

Gu Qingfeng looked slightly stunned.

The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body in Gu Xuan's body was only acquired later in life. In addition, the other party's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body was incomplete and could not be considered a complete Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body at all.

and so.

strictly speaking.

Gu Xuan's immortal divine body is a truly natural divine body.

After destroying the ancient sacred land, Gu Qingfeng obtained many classics from it, and he also had some understanding of the many divine bodies in the ancient world.

“It is said that a fully-developed immortal divine body is almost indestructible and can truly be reborn by a drop of blood. Even if an ancient emperor were to take action, it would be extremely difficult to kill a fully-developed immortal divine body!”

"In the records of ancient times, there was a quasi-emperor who relied on his immortal divine body to fight against a great emperor!"

“Even if it is an Immortal Divine Body that has achieved a small level of success, it is not easy to truly kill it.”

"Among the many divine bodies, the Immortal Divine Body is enough to rank in the top ten!"

Gu Qingfeng reviewed everything about the Immortal Divine Body in his mind. He had sufficient understanding of the power of this kind of Divine Body.

In the ancient world, there are rankings of many divine bodies.

The so-called ranking of divine bodies is determined by the battle records of the divine bodies of all generations.

All the divine bodies that can rank in the top ten have records of quasi-emperors fighting against emperors.

It can be said.

There have been many divine bodies throughout the ancient world, but any one of the divine bodies that can truly be ranked in the top ten is extremely powerful.

Even the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body that Gu Xuan obtained could only rank eighteenth. The Immortal Divine Body could directly rank ninth, which shows how powerful this kind of divine body is.

Divine body is natural!

This is something that no one can decide or influence.

Now that Gu Xuan has awakened his immortal divine body, it is naturally a pleasant surprise for Gu Qingfeng.

With the characteristics of the immortal divine body, if the opponent awakens this divine body, then the probability of surviving in the demon world will be higher.

"and--"

"As long as any divine body does not die unexpectedly, it can at least reach the Great Saint Realm. If it gets some opportunities, it is possible to break through the Saint King Realm, and even reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm or even the higher Great Emperor Realm!"

Gu Qingfeng pondered.

Not all divine bodies can become emperors, but almost every emperor possesses a divine body.

As for mortals who have become emperors, there are only a handful of them throughout history.

Said without politeness.

The divine body is the ticket to the realm of the great emperor.

This is also the fundamental reason why Taixu Holy Land is still willing to train Gu Xuan with all its strength even though it knows that Gu Xuan possesses an incomplete Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body.

A complete divine body is rare, and an incomplete divine body is equally rare.

For ordinary forces to obtain a genius with a divine body is as difficult as ascending to heaven, so the fact that Taixu Holy Land was able to obtain a incomplete divine body is enough to make many forces envious.

Gu Qingfeng now has some doubts as to whether the Great Sage Huangji had already discovered that Gu Xiu possessed an immortal divine body when he took a fancy to him.

Otherwise, it is hard to explain why a great saint of the ninth level would choose a small cultivator who is not even a grandmaster. (End of this chapter)
