My son is about to break through.

along the way.

Gu Xuan looked a little dazed.

It was not until he returned to Taixu Holy Land that he finally calmed down his inner shock and realized that what Liu Cangfeng said was true.

Immediately.

Gu Xuan felt mixed emotions.

What made him happy was that his father was so powerful that he could conquer the ancient holy land by himself. But what made him worried was that Gu Xiu had entered the ancient teleportation array and his life or death was temporarily unknown.

"My strength is too weak!"

"If I were strong enough, I would never allow my third brother to be bullied by the Southern Region forces!"

When Gu Xuan thought of some things in the Southern Region, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Even though the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land was destroyed, it could not truly quell the anger in his heart.

But no way.

Gu Xuan himself was only at the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm, which was nothing at all.

Even if you want to settle accounts with other forces, you must have sufficient strength to support it.

Subsequently.

As Gu Xuan's mind moved, a long sword emerged from his dantian and fell into his hands.

Xianyang Sword!
This was the greatest opportunity he had gotten on this trip.

I originally thought that the secret realm that had been revealed was left behind by a Taoist monk, but it turned out to be left behind by an ancient saint.

Unfortunately.

The secret realm was a bit incomplete, and Gu Xuan was unable to obtain the saint's inheritance. He just left with this holy weapon.

But even so, it was a great gain for Gu Xuan.

The power of the holy soldiers.

It is completely incomparable to the so-called ancient weapons.

Even in the Taixu Holy Land, the number of holy weapons is very limited, and each holy weapon is a powerful treasure that can suppress one side.

Relying on the power of the Xianyang Sword, Gu Xuan has already killed many top warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm.

Subsequently.

Gu Xuan's mind moved, and he put the Xianyang Sword back into his dantian.

Then he looked inside himself and saw the Xianyang Sword lying quietly in his dantian. At the same time, terrifying and solemn sword energy emanated from it, constantly tempering the blood and qi in his body.

This is another benefit of the Holy Soldiers.

Obtain holy weapons to nourish your body.

Even if Gu Xuan doesn't practice deliberately, his strength can slowly increase.

of course.

The increase will not be too large, and the effect it can have will be lower as time goes by.

But no matter what, changes still exist.

If two cultivators of the same realm were to compete, if one had a holy weapon to nourish his physique and the other did not, the gap between the two would naturally become apparent.

Subsequently.

Gu Xuan began to count the other gains from this trip.

……

"Your offspring 'Gu Xuan' has been recognized by the Holy Soldiers in the secret realm, and his strength has greatly increased!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Xuan' has taken natural resources and treasures, and his cultivation has improved slightly!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Xuan' consumed natural treasures and his cultivation level broke through to the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

"Reward improvement points*300!"

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

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

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' vigorously developed the Shenwu Academy and spread his cultivation throughout the nine states, which greatly increased the number of cultivators in the Shenwu Dynasty and improved its foundation accordingly!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' is gaining more and more fame among the people and is respected by all!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' learned that Wuzhou was suffering from drought and not a drop of rain had fallen for three months, so he used the power of national destiny to change the celestial phenomena and bring down sweet rain to Wuzhou, blessing the people!"

"Your offspring..."

……

In Gujiazhuang, when Gu Qingfeng was watching the changes on the information panel every now and then, there was a bolt from the blue in the sky above Wuzhou. Dark clouds covered the sky, making the hot summer day a little cooler.

Shenwu Sect.

Sect leader Gu Yun looked at the dark clouds above with a look of doubt in his eyes.

With his perception, he could naturally understand that the arrival of these dark clouds was somewhat unusual.

"Could it be related to the imperial court?"

Gu Yun was a little hesitant.

However, as of now, the appearance of this dark cloud should be more beneficial than harmful to Wuzhou.

In the past three months, Wuzhou has been suffering from drought and not a single drop of rain has fallen.

In other words, now is a peaceful time and the imperial court has enough ability to provide disaster relief. Otherwise, if it were the end of the previous dynasty, these three months would be enough to cause the entire Wuzhou to be filled with grief and countless casualties.

But even so.

The three months of natural disasters were too much for the people of Wuzhou to bear.

In this regard.

Gu Yun wanted to take action, but he was powerless.

after all.

Even though he was a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm and had the means to move mountains and fill the sea, he still had no way of resolving natural disasters or preventing a state from drying up.

Not bad!

Gu Yun has now broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

He was taught the Divine Yang Sutra by Gu Qingfeng, which allowed him to glimpse the way forward. In addition, with the increase in spiritual energy in the world of Jiuzhou and the exchange of resources with the outside world, many rare and precious natural treasures that were once available are no longer so rare.

In addition, the Shenwu Sect was originally the number one sect in the world and was the overlord-level force in Wuzhou at that time, so it naturally had a solid foundation.

not to mention.

The Shenwu clan has the merit of following the dragon.

Therefore, the imperial court also provided a lot of support to the Shenwu Sect.

In the eyes of other outsiders, the word "Shenwu" in the Shenwu Dynasty has some connection with the Shenwu Sect, which makes many forces dare not offend the Shenwu Sect easily.

One to two to go.

The power of the Shenwu Sect naturally grew.

As the sect leader, Gu Yun also gained a lot of benefits from it, which is why he was able to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Of course.

In terms of talent.

There is no shortage of Gu Yun either.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate to the peak of the Grandmaster level in that environment, and even have the qualifications to challenge the Grandmaster level.

but.

Even though he himself had broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm, Gu Yun did not have any inappropriate thoughts. At the same time, he warned the disciples of the sect many times, telling them not to provoke people from the imperial court.

After all, Gu Yun knew very well that the Shenwu Sect could be what it is today entirely because of the imperial court.

In Gu Yun's view, the current Shenwu Dynasty is unfathomable. If anyone really attempts to go against the court, the Shenwu Sect will be wiped out in an instant.

at this point.

Gu Yun had no doubt at all.

now.

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, there seemed to be a terrifying divine power emerging from it, causing Gu Yun's breathing to slow down for a beat, as if he was being stared at by some terrifying existence.

Before he could think too much, he heard a majestic voice, covering the entire Wuzhou and reaching everyone's ears.

"Wuzhou has been suffering from drought for three months. The people are living in misery. I feel deeply saddened. Now I am drafting an imperial edict to send down sweet dew to save all the people!"

The words fell.

Then a ray of yellow divine light broke through the sky and spread directly above Wuzhou. On it was the imperial edict written by Gu Yang.

next interest.

Then the imperial edict disappeared.

It turned into divine light and rushed into the sky.

After a while.

A thunderbolt struck in the clear sky. The rolling thunder covered Wuzhou.

When everyone was shocked, rain finally fell in Wuzhou, which had been suffering from drought for three months.

"It's raining!!"

"We, the common people, bow to thank His Majesty!!"

The people of Wuzhou were all ecstatic. Many of them rushed out of their houses, letting the cold raindrops fall on them to dispel the heat in their bodies.

The dry and cracked earth was moistened by the rain, and many dying trees were revived.

There is a dry riverbed where river water gradually converges and flows through many mountains, making the entire Wuzhou full of vitality.

When some monks from outside saw this scene, they were also filled with emotion.

"A single imperial decree can change the celestial phenomena and resolve the drought in a state. The dynasty's methods are indeed extraordinary and unmatched by other sects!"

Although top-notch experts can also change the celestial phenomena, especially cultivators who have cultivated some special magical powers, calling the wind and rain is just a piece of cake.

but.

There is a limit to being able to call the wind and rain.

Although each of the Nine Provinces is not large and cannot be compared with the 108 provinces in the Eastern Region, Wu Province is not small strictly speaking.

At least it is difficult for cultivators at the Dao Palace level to achieve the level of changing the celestial phenomena of an entire state.

To achieve this, only the legendary saint could do it.

and.

As far as they know.

The Emperor Gu of the Shenwu Dynasty had only just entered the Divine Transformation Realm, which was a long way from the Dao Palace.

From this we can see that the methods of the Qiyun Dynasty are indeed desirable.

But the same thing.

It is extremely difficult to strengthen the fortune of a dynasty and further advance to an empire.

Many monks quickly withdrew their gazes when they saw this.

They came here only to seek opportunities in Jiuzhou and had no intention of going against the Shenwu Dynasty.

After all, they have not forgotten the destruction of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land. With the person from the Gu family around, no one would dare to touch the Shenwu Dynasty.

In this world where the strong are respected, one top strong man is enough to make a force prosper forever.

not to mention.

In this era when no saints appear, a strong man like Gu Qingfeng who can kill a great saint is the best.

Talk about it more seriously.

Gu Qingfeng can be called the strongest person in the Dharma-Ending Age.

After all, in the Dharma-Ending Age, no saints will appear. Someone who can kill a great saint with the cultivation level of a semi-saint is enough to be called the best.

……

"Hiss, this is the method used by the imperial court. It is truly incredible!"

In the Shenwu Sect, Gu Yun took a deep breath, his pupils widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Even with his current perspective, such things were still shocking.

Not only Gu Yun was shocked.

All the disciples of the Shenwu Sect were horrified.

"Is that Emperor Gu's voice!?"

"A single imperial decree can resolve the drought in Wuzhou. This person's methods are so terrifying!!"

For a while.

The disciples of the Shenwu Sect became even more awed by the imperial court.

After all, Gu Yang was able to resolve the drought in Wuzhou with a single imperial decree, so is it possible that he could also issue a single imperial decree to directly exterminate the Shenwu Sect?

Think of this.

Many disciples who usually relied on their status as members of the Shenwu Sect and disregarded the court rules were now instinctively afraid.

They secretly vowed not to offend the court.

otherwise.

Even the sect may not be able to protect itself.

-

In the capital.

Gu Yang looked towards the direction of Wuzhou and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he sensed the decreasing fortune of the dynasty and shook his head helplessly again.

"It seems that the progress of the promotion to the imperial dynasty will be slowed down again!"

This time, using the dynasty's luck to resolve the natural disaster in Wuzhou was something they had to do.

Since Wuzhou began to suffer from natural disasters and drought three months ago, Gu Yang has been mobilizing a large amount of resources for disaster relief to minimize the losses caused by the natural disasters.

The reason why he didn't use luck to resolve the natural disaster at the beginning was because Gu Yang wanted to retain some luck to prepare for his promotion to the dynasty in the future.

As long as disaster relief is in place, natural disasters don’t actually have that much impact.

in contrast.

If we use our luck to relieve the disaster, we will definitely lose the luck of the dynasty, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover afterwards.

however--

For three months.

Despite the court's vigorous disaster relief efforts, the drought in Wuzhou showed no sign of easing, but instead became more severe.

Seeing that the disaster relief was about to fail, the people of Wuzhou became restless. At this time, Gu Yang had no choice but to take action and directly use the dynasty's luck to send down nectar in Wuzhou.

This is nectar.

It took a whole year of luck accumulated by the Shenwu Dynasty.

Such consumption naturally made Gu Yang feel distressed.

fortunately.

Now a shower of sweet dew has fallen, allowing the people of Wuzhou to regain stability. As long as there is no problem with the people's morale, these expenses will eventually be made up.

If a dynasty is compared to a pond, then its fortune is like a pool of water, and the people of the Nine Provinces are like trickles, constantly pouring water into the pond.

Every time the power of Qi is used, the accumulated water in the pool will be reduced.

But the same thing.

As long as the trickle representing the people does not dry up, the used pool water will eventually recover in time.

But if the people become alienated, the dynasty's fortune will become stagnant and will slowly dry up over time.

and so.

Gu Yang clearly understood the trade-offs.

"As long as the people's hearts are not in trouble, the luck that has been used up will also be used up. It will only delay the speed of the dynasty's promotion a little. It doesn't matter if it's promoted earlier or later for the current Shenwu Dynasty!"

Gu Yang pondered.

If it were in the past, Gu Yang would naturally hope to promote the Shenwu Dynasty as soon as possible.

Because once a dynasty can be promoted to an imperial dynasty, the foundation of the Shenwu Dynasty will be greatly enhanced.

A dynasty.

It is powerful enough to suppress the strong ones in Dao Palace realm.

If it is a top dynasty, even saints will stay away from it.

and so.

If it were the previous Shenwu Dynasty, Gu Yang would certainly want to be promoted to the imperial dynasty as soon as possible. In this way, he would have a powerful trump card, and he would be confident that he could resist even if a strong man from the Dao Palace realm invaded.

If Jiuzhou could be given more time and the Shenwu Dynasty could join the ranks of the top dynasties, then within the dynasty, even though Gu Yang was a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm, he would be equivalent to a saint.

But now it's different.

Gu Qingfeng destroyed the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, and the Shenwu Dynasty already had a trump card that was more powerful than the top dynasties.

After all, if you want to kill a great saint, that is something that at least an imperial dynasty can do.

Therefore.

In some aspects, the Shenwu Dynasty's deterrent power is enough to rival many imperial dynasties.

As for the imperial dynasties, according to Gu Yang's understanding, there are not many in the ancient world.

In addition-

These dynasties also had some restrictions.

Within the imperial dynasty, an emperor can rely on his luck to suppress the Great Sage, but outside the imperial dynasty, such luck will be of no use.

therefore.

Compared to the imperial dynasty defending its territory, Gu Qingfeng, who can leave the Shenwu Dynasty at any time and has the power to kill a great saint, is undoubtedly more intimidating. (End of this chapter)
