My son is about to break through.

Imperial Soldier Embryo!

It can be integrated with any magical weapon to transform it into a true imperial weapon.

"hiss!"

"Fusion can upgrade divine weapons to imperial weapons!!"

Even with Gu Qingfeng's temperament, when he heard the news, an expression of horror involuntarily appeared on his face.

Gu Qingfeng had never seen what a true imperial weapon was like, but the Tianhuang Seal in his hand was just a Saint King weapon, and it already had immense power.

Many so-called saintly families actually have no saints left in the world, and only a holy weapon is left.

But even so, it is enough to allow these so-called saintly families to be passed down for thousands of years and remain immortal.

Above Saint Soldiers.

The Great Saint Soldiers are even more important.

But no matter whether it is a Saint Weapon, a Great Saint Weapon, or even a Saint King Weapon of a higher level, none of them can be compared with a true Emperor Weapon.

The power of such treasures is unfathomable, and only the most ancient and powerful forces have the possibility of possessing imperial weapons.

therefore.

Gu Qingfeng could determine it.

Even if there are imperial soldiers in the ancient world, their number is definitely limited.

nowadays.

How could Gu Qingfeng not be shocked when an imperial weapon embryo appeared in front of him?

Immediately.

Gu Qingfeng didn't hesitate at all. He just stretched out his hand and summoned the Evil-Slaying Sword.

Obtain the magic sword.

A chilling chill was already emerging.

Ever since Gu Qingfeng's cultivation level has become higher and higher, the Zhuxie Sword has often been placed in the knife sharpening hall. After all, the Zhuxie Sword is just an ordinary ancient weapon. It can be used in general situations, but its effect is limited in other situations.

"Old buddy, today is your chance!"

Gu Qingfeng gripped the hilt and spoke to the Zhuxie Knife.

The latter seemed to have sensed something, and the blade trembled slightly, making a pleasant humming sound.

See this.

Gu Qingfeng did not hesitate and immediately wanted to touch the Emperor's Weapon Embryo with the Evil-Slaying Sword.

"Om-"

As soon as the two merged, the embryo of the imperial weapon turned into a stream of water and easily merged into the Sword of Killing Evil.

In an instant.

The evil-killing sword vibrated.

A dazzling bright light emerged, and a rich Taoist aura flowed from the huge blade. An aura that was countless times more powerful than the Tianhuang Seal suddenly spread from the Zhuxie Sword.

Boom! !

The space was cracking inch by inch, the divine sword stood in the air, and the mighty power of heaven seemed to destroy everything.

All the formations in the huge knife-grinding hall were activated, but they could not block this aura for a moment.

Seeing that the formation was about to break, Gu Qingfeng stretched out his hand and directly put the Zhuxie Sword into his own dantian.

All the strange phenomena in the world disappeared with the disappearance of the Evil-Slaying Sword.

But when Gu Qingfeng looked inward, he was able to discover that the Zhuxie Sword stored in his dantian was still undergoing self-transformation.

Time passes little by little.

Half a day later.

The transformation of the Evil-Slaying Sword is complete.

Gu Qingfeng's mind moved, and he summoned the knife from his dantian.

Compared to before the transformation, the current Sword of Evil-Slaying seems to have not changed much on the surface, but it contains a vague and terrifying pressure.

The moment Gu Qingfeng grasped the hilt of the knife, he already had a premonition in his heart that as long as he wanted, he could swing the knife to destroy the world.

This feeling is even stronger than when the third meridian is condensed.

but.

Gu Qingfeng didn't actually swing the knife.

After all, with the power of the imperial soldiers, combined with his own strength, if he really swung a sword, I am afraid that not only Gujiazhuang, but even the entire capital would be reduced to ashes.

therefore.

Gu Qingfeng resisted the urge to try out the power of the imperial weapon.

"Ninth Heaven of Saints!"

"Another imperial soldier in hand!"

"In terms of true strength, I am now probably qualified to fight against the Quasi-Emperor!"

Gu Qingfeng pondered inwardly.

Above the Holy King is the Quasi-Emperor.

That is the existence closest to the realm of the Great Emperor.

Before obtaining the imperial weapon, Gu Qingfeng naturally had no intention of fighting with the quasi-emperor.

After all, a strong person of that level is definitely not comparable to the so-called Saint King.

But it's different now.

The emperor's soldiers are in hand.

Gu Qingfeng has the confidence to fight.

then.

Gu Qingfeng's thought moved, and the Evil-Slaying Sword fell back into his dantian.

By taking the imperial weapon into the Dantian, one can constantly temper oneself. Over the years, it can also silently enhance the cultivator's own strength.

then.

Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel. There were more than 7,000 improvement points left. He did not hesitate and directly used 6,000 improvement points to upgrade the Jiuxiao Tianjing to the fourth level of the Sage Chapter.

With the breakthrough of the Jiuxiao Tianjing, Gu Qingfeng's aura became stronger, and his strength of the Ninth Heaven Saint was further improved.

but.

This level of progress is naturally nothing compared to Gu Qingfeng's previous breakthrough to the ninth level of Sainthood.

"The next step is to find a way to reach the Great Saint Realm!"

"If everything goes well, maybe by the time the great era of contention arrives, I will be able to directly step into the realm of the Great Emperor!"

It is not easy to break through the Great Emperor realm, but it is not too difficult either.

As long as there are enough improvement points, Gu Qingfeng will be able to advance to the Great Emperor realm.

Now that the Shenwu Dynasty has been promoted to an imperial dynasty, the rewards given are already so incredible. If it can go one step further and the imperial dynasty can be promoted to an imperial dynasty, then the rewards will surely be even more astonishing.

and.

There is still more than a thousand years between now and the great era of contention.

During this period of time, if the Gu family bloodline can grow stronger, then in more than a thousand years, Gu Qingfeng can also obtain a large number of improvement points.

that time.

It is not impossible to break through to the Great Emperor realm.

Originally, Gu Qingfeng was not very confident, but the promotion of the Shenwu Dynasty and the benefits brought by Gu Yang's breakthrough made him change his mind.

Until now.

Gu Qingfeng looked back.

From the time he started practicing till now, it has only been forty-two years.

Forty-two years.

Not to mention the cultivators in the Saint Realm, even for the cultivators in the Dao Palace Realm, it is only a period of seclusion, which is nothing at all.

If I could really have another thousand years, becoming an emperor would not be a joke.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng continued to retreat.

However, before he went into seclusion, he gave one of the Dao Palace Realm Ascension Pills to Xu Yulan, and after taking it, she broke through from the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm. If she took one more step forward, she would be able to reach the Saint Realm.

And then.

Gu Qingfeng then ordered his men to deliver the remaining two pills to Gu Yang.

After finishing these things, Gu Qingfeng truly began his retreat.

This time.

He wanted to concentrate all his energy on comprehending the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Art, as well as practice all other skills of saints and above to the limit of the Dao Palace realm.

Even if there is suppression from heaven and earth and it involves the saint level, and he cannot actively practice and break through, Gu Qingfeng still has to improve his own basic strength as much as possible.

……

the other side.

Shenwu Dynasty, inside the imperial palace.

A secret guard had already delivered the two pills directly to Gu Yang.

After learning about the effects of this elixir, Gu Yang's heart was immediately shocked and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Taking the elixir can directly break through to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm!!!"

He looked at the two pills in his hand, and Gu Yang couldn't calm down for a long time.

The elixir that could allow one to directly advance to the top of a sect was already quite amazing, but what was unexpected was that today’s elixir was even more incredible.

Dao Palace Realm!
What level of existence is that?
Before he truly entered the Dao Palace realm, Gu Yang's understanding of this realm was naturally not deep enough.

But when he truly understood this level in depth, Gu Yang finally realized that cultivators at this level were by no means that simple.

If it weren't for the luck of the dynasty's promotion, Gu Yang believed that with his qualifications, it would be impossible to enter the Dao Palace realm without more than a hundred years.

however.

This is just the beginning of entering the Dao Palace realm.

A strong man at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm has already reached the limit of this realm. If he takes another half step forward, strictly speaking, he has already stepped half a foot into the saint realm and is honored as a semi-saint.

In today's Dharma-Ending Age, there are not many strong people in the semi-saint realm. The existence of the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm is already the strongest person that most forces can possess.

Like many saintly families and even ancient holy places, there are basically only one or two people at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm in charge.

This can be seen.

How rare is it to find a strong man at the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm.

Any cultivator at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, even the so-called top genius, must have gone through hundreds or thousands of years of hard training before truly reaching this level.

but now.

A pill.

It can allow people to directly advance to the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm. How could Gu Yang not be shocked?

In other words, the elixir was brought by Gu Qingfeng, otherwise, Gu Yang would never believe it.

After the shock.

Gu Yang also fell into deep thought.

Two pills can create two powerful men at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, so who should take these pills? That is a problem.

After a while.

Gu Yang has already made a decision.

Immediately.

He called Gu Yi and handed one of the pills to him, who took it without any hesitation.

Subsequently.

As Gu Yang looked at him in disbelief, Gu Yi's aura continued to rise, and his cultivation level of the third level of the Divine Transformation Realm continued to break through.

The fourth level of the Divine Transformation Realm!
The fifth level of the Divine Transformation Realm!
The sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm!
……

The first level of Dao Palace realm!
The second level of Dao Palace realm!
The third level of Dao Palace realm!
……

The eighth level of Dao Palace realm!
The ninth level of Dao Palace realm!
In just a short moment, Gu Yi broke through from the third level of the Divine Transformation Realm to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm in one breath.

The aura of the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm emanating from the other party made Gu Yang feel terrified.

For a moment.

Gu Yang wanted to take this elixir to allow himself to directly break through to the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm, but because of Gu Qingfeng's advice, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Although up to now, Gu Yang has not found any disadvantages of this kind of elixir, other people who originally took the elixir to be promoted to grandmasters have been able to practice as they should and make breakthroughs as they should, without any side effects.

But since Gu Qingfeng didn't allow him to take it, there must be a reason.

What's more, even if he didn't take this kind of elixir, Gu Yang was confident that he could reach the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm step by step, or even break through the barriers of the Dao Palace Realm and enter a higher level.

That being the case.

The desire in Gu Yang's heart also dissipated a lot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for this elixir!"

At this moment, Gu Yi was no longer familiar with his own surging strength. He immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said.

"Now that Lord Gu has made a breakthrough, I am even more powerful!"

Gu Yang smiled slightly, the secret guards were his eyes observing the entire Jiuzhou, plus Gu Yi was strictly speaking the Gu family's original confidant, so he naturally trusted him very much.

The stronger Gu Yi is, the stronger the secret guards will be. In this way, the secret guards will be able to monitor all parties better.

In the eyes of others, the Sky Patrol Guards are the real spies of the Shenwu Dynasty monitoring Jiuzhou, but in fact, only Gu Yang knows that the Sky Patrol Guards are just a cover and the intelligence from various places really depends on the Secret Guards.

When Gu Yi left, Gu Yang called for his personal eunuch and gave the order.

"Let Shi Zhen come to see me."

"Yes!"

The eunuch obeyed the order respectfully.

An hour later.

Shi Zhen, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, your servant Shi Zhen is here to see you!"

"No need to be polite, Mr. Shi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Zhen stood up, Gu Yang looked at the person in front of him.

Today, Shi Zhen's cultivation has already entered the fifth level of the Divine Transformation Realm. Looking at the entire Shenwu Dynasty, this level of strength can be ranked among the top five.

But Gu Yang knew very well that before the promotion of the Shenwu Dynasty, the other party had only just entered the Divine Transformation Realm. The reason why he was able to break through to this level was because of the promotion of the dynasty and the blessing of luck.

"I came to you today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"

Shi Zhen looked serious and said in a deep voice.

Gu Yang said: "Although Jiuzhou is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, compared with the vast ancient world, it is still a small corner. My Shenwu country has been established for more than ten years, and it has been promoted to the rank of an imperial dynasty.

But with the territory of Kyushu, accommodating one dynasty is already the limit.

If you want to go further, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue!"

Hear the words.

Shi Zhen's face was solemn: "Your Majesty, are you planning to mobilize troops?"

"I do have this idea!"

"The Shenwu Dynasty has just been promoted and its foundation is relatively weak. It would not be so easy to mobilize troops. However, if the emperor is willing to come forward, this matter would be much easier—"

Shi Zhen said with a little hesitation.

Even though the Shenwu Dynasty has been promoted to the ranks of dynasties, in the true sense, it has only been established for more than a decade, and its foundation and aspects are difficult to compare with those ancient dynasties.

Gu Yang shook his head: "Father has already gone into seclusion. If the court wants to expand, it can only rely on its own strength!"

"This……"

Shi Zhen looked troubled.

at this time.

Gu Yang threw a pill in front of Shi Zhen.

"After taking this pill, you can be promoted directly to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm. In addition, the resources from the imperial court will be fully provided. I will give you ten years. Can you train a group of elite troops for external expansion?" (End of this chapter)
