My son is about to break through.

"This universe flows at a speed ten thousand times faster than normal!"

"One year outside is equivalent to ten thousand years inside!"

Gu Qingfeng said calmly.

Changing the flow of time to some extent is not a particularly powerful method.

but.

These are the flow rates of time.

There are still some limitations.

That is, although the flow of time is ten thousand times faster, it only has an effect on cultivators below the level of Quasi-Emperor.

In other words.

Those at the Quasi-Emperor level or above who enter are power that cannot alter the course of time.

And then.

Under this flow of time, cultivators cannot improve their cultivation level.

The aforementioned ability to unseal one's cultivation level through cultivation only restores the cultivator's true cultivation level; it does not elevate it further.

at this point.

Gu Qingfeng then patiently explained.

But that's the case.

The other ministers were all shocked when they heard this.

Ten thousand times the time!
What a concept!

If one can cultivate within it, although one cannot improve one's cultivation level, one can comprehend some top-tier supernatural abilities.

Just imagine.

Faced with such a time flow rate of ten thousand times.

For cultivators outside, it may only take a few days, but for them, it is a hundred years. Supernatural abilities that were difficult to cultivate in the past can be instantly mastered.

The advantages of this are obvious.

even though.

Within this universe, one's own lifespan will also be consumed more quickly.

The number of years spent in the universe is equivalent to the number of years one has lived.

But some things are not calculated that way.

Sacrificing a hundred or even a thousand years of lifespan to achieve mastery of a certain supernatural ability, thereby greatly enhancing one's strength, is a way to potentially change one's destiny.

Of course.

These methods have both advantages and disadvantages.

However, if used properly, the benefits are also very obvious.

Therefore, upon hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, the others were also deeply moved.

Celestial Venerable Techniques!

Mysterious!

……

Gu Qingfeng paid little attention to the inner turmoil of his ministers.

The reason for using a time flow rate ten thousand times faster is naturally to save time.

After all, such an assessment cannot be completed in just one or two days; at a normal flow rate, it would undoubtedly be too long.

Ten thousand times the flow rate.

It can save a lot of time.

The scene then shifted.

Some cultivators explored various parts of the Immortal City and discovered many cultivator tribes, which they then incorporated directly into the Immortal City, making them part of their army.

but.

There were also cultivators whose immortal cities were extremely close to each other, and a conflict broke out between them shortly after they had begun exploring.

But actually.

These conflicts in the immortal realms all occurred after only a brief encounter, and each side tacitly withdrew its troops.

Because both sides are well aware that, given the current uncertain situation, rashly engaging in combat could easily result in mutual destruction.

Even if no other cultivators secretly benefit from this, if most of the 100,000 cultivator puppets are lost in the early stages, then the initial disadvantage will be significant.

One day in the outside world.

There are ten thousand days in the universe.

That is, more than thirty years.

Over the course of more than thirty years, cultivators have continuously developed and expanded their immortal cities, conquered tribes one after another, and then recuperated and secretly accumulated strength. They have also sought out numerous rare and precious materials to further enhance their power and unlock their seals.

However, some cultivators were eliminated one after another for various reasons.

The first ten years.

No cultivators were eliminated.

But ten years is a watershed moment.

When the assessment period reached ten years, some cultivators could no longer contain themselves and a powerful war broke out between them.

However, when the cosmic time reached fifty years, half of the tens of thousands of cultivators had already been eliminated.

The remaining half of the cultivators were almost all well-equipped and powerful, with at least a million cultivator puppet armies under their command. Their own cultivation had long since broken through the shackles of the first level of the Saint Realm and stepped into a higher level.

The courtiers were now silent, watching the assessment scene in the universe.

Deploy your troops!

Cultivators fighting each other!

At this moment, all kinds of military strategies are directly revealed.

After a long time.

One minister exclaimed, "His application of military strategy is divine. In a war between equal forces, if such a general were to command a large army, the chances of victory would increase by at least 50%!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In particular, when they saw a city lord using 500,000 cultivator puppets to trap and kill 3 million cultivator puppets, it attracted their attention even more.

Five hundred thousand versus three million!
Normally.

The latter should be able to easily crush the former.

But actually.

Throughout the entire battle, the former held the upper hand.

Lure the enemy deep into our territory!

Use the terrain to trap and kill!

They then arranged for an ambush to block their retreat!
Every step was meticulously planned and executed, leaving the enemy no chance to breathe.

Even Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly when he saw that figure.

"A born general!"

……

When time reaches a hundred years.

Nowadays, the vast majority of cultivators have been eliminated.

Tens of thousands of cultivators.

Now there are less than two hands' worth left.

However, these surviving cultivators commanded armies of at least tens of millions, and also established their own dynasties, leading their armies to conquer the north and south.

Other forces secretly joined together to eliminate other rivals.

Such wars.

It was absolutely brilliant.

One hundred and fifty years later, with the last cultivator eliminated, only one person remained alive in the entire universe.

next interest.

The universe collapsed.

A figure then appeared.

"What's your name?"

Gu Qingfeng looked at the middle-aged cultivator in front of him, his expression calm and showing no emotion whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, the latter seemed slightly dazed, and then hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Your Majesty, my name is Xia Zhu!"

"Xia Zhu... very good. Are you well-versed in the military strategy tradition?"

Gu Qingfeng asked with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhu answered truthfully: "I was originally a mortal in the lower realm, and once served as a general of a country. Later, I was fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation, and I also led troops to fight in the south and north."

"In the world where I reside, a powerful being opened the gates to immortality. My strength was originally insufficient to enter the immortal realm; I was only fortunate enough to be protected by a supreme treasure, and thus I ventured into the immortal realm seeking the path to immortality!"

He ventured into the Immortal Realm as a quasi-emperor in order to seek opportunities for further advancement.

at this point.

Xia Zhu didn't hide anything.

He knew that his own talent was average, and that he was able to enter the Quasi-Emperor realm only because he had obtained many opportunities.

Even so, once you reach the Quasi-Emperor realm, your convenience in the lower realms is considered to have reached its limit.

Although quasi-emperors also have a lifespan of ten thousand years, Xia Zhu was naturally unwilling to accept it. Therefore...

He finally found the opportunity to open the Immortal Gate, and using a chance he had obtained in the past, he forcibly broke through the shackles of the Immortal Gate and entered the Immortal Realm.

But what Xia Zhu didn't expect was that while there were opportunities in the Immortal Realm, there were even more dangers.

In particular, evil gods are rampant in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, and the human race is weak. They are considered top-tier quasi-emperors in the lower realm, but here they are nothing more than ants, though not very useful.

Over the years, Xia Zhu has diligently cultivated, step by step reaching the peak of Quasi-Emperor, but due to his limited talent, he has never been able to break through to the Great Emperor realm.

Until this time.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty was about to hold an immortal ceremony, which finally gave Xia Zhu an opportunity.

Hearing what the other person said, Gu Qingfeng nodded.

"To enter the Upper Realm as a Quasi-Emperor and then fight your way through tens of thousands of cultivators to win the championship, you are quite impressive!"

With Gu Qingfeng's current level of cultivation, he is naturally able to tell whether someone is lying.

and.

A quasi-emperor.

They also have no right to lie to themselves.

"From this day forward, you are the Commander of the Evil Suppression Division!"

Gu Qingfeng immediately issued the official title.

The moment his words fell, a terrifying aura of the celestial dynasty descended, directly impacting Xia Zhu.

that moment.

Xia Zhu's aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation level, which was originally at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, increased dramatically, and he instantly stepped into the Great Emperor realm.

next interest.

The emperor's calamity falls.

With a slight thought, Gu Qingfeng unleashed a mysterious power that affected the entire palace, ensuring that the descending imperial tribulation only impacted Xia Zhu and did not affect other areas.

The Emperor's Tribulation is incredibly powerful!

However, Xia Zhu's background is also extraordinary.

Furthermore, with the protection of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's fortune, even the terrifying Emperor Tribulation could not stop the other party from breaking through to the Dao.

When the final heavenly tribulation descended, Xia Zhu had already broken through to the Great Emperor realm.

An imperial aura swept out, but in the next instant, this imperial aura vanished without a trace.

The Celestial Emperor himself is here!

Naturally, it cannot tolerate a great emperor arbitrarily radiating his oppressive aura.

Xia Zhu understood this as well, and immediately apologized to Gu Qingfeng.

"Your Majesty, I have just broken through and am temporarily unable to control myself. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"There's no need to apologize for such a trivial matter."

Gu Qingfeng naturally couldn't blame the other party. As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a stream of light entered Xia Zhu's sea of ​​consciousness.

"I have left a trace of the Great Dao in your sea of ​​consciousness. If you can comprehend even a fraction of it, you will have no problem breaking through to the Longevity Celestial Venerable Realm, but reaching the peak of the Great Emperor Realm will be no problem."

Furthermore, I will bestow upon you the Great Dao Immortal Pill, which you can use to attempt to reach the Heavenly Venerable realm when you reach the peak of the Great Emperor realm!

As for the royal treasury mentioned earlier, someone will take you there later!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"

Xia Zhu was deeply moved, and her gratitude was evident on her face.

With his current cultivation level, even observing the Daoist aura in his sea of ​​consciousness felt like facing an unfathomable abyss.

Just as this Immortal Emperor said, if I could comprehend such Daoist principles, breaking through to the peak of the Great Emperor would be no problem at all.

As for the Great Dao Elixir!

Although this was the first time Xia Zhu had heard of such a pill, a pill that could be used to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm could not be simple.

As for the trip to the royal treasury, the opportunity was equally significant.

Such a favor could not help but move Xia Zhu.

The other civil and military officials, as well as the remaining cultivators who participated in the assessment, now looked at Xia Zhu with envy.

Commander of the Evil Suppression Division!

This is a genuine third-rank official position.

Moreover, it was a position with real power.

After all, the Evil Suppression Division is the most powerful organization among the many institutions in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

Founded by the former Heavenly Venerable Luo Tian, ​​now the Marshal of the Nation, it encompasses most of the powerful figures from the former Xuan Tian Holy Land.

Although Luo Tian is no longer the head of the Evil Suppression Division, this relationship ensures that the Evil Suppression Division's status is unmatched by any other organization.

The commander of the Evil Suppression Division can truly command the army of the Evil Suppression Division, and his strength and status are extraordinary.

Any other official of the same rank would have to be polite to the commander of the Zhenxie Division.

To put it bluntly.

This time, Xia Zhu can be considered to have risen to the top in one step.

Not only did he receive all sorts of rewards, but he also caught the eye of the Immortal Emperor Gu Qingfeng. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, his future achievements will be limitless.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then proceeded to bestow titles.

These 10,000 cultivators were all selected talents from 27 states and 81 prefectures, each with their own merits, so Gu Qingfeng would not be stingy with them.

Each department and division.

They all made corresponding investitures.

With the addition of these 10,000 cultivators, the vacancies in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's official positions have been largely filled.

When Gu Qingfeng founded the Immortal Dynasty, although he had already appointed officials, that only fixed the general framework. However, when it came to breaking it down to each prefecture, there were still considerable gaps.

With tens of thousands of cultivators filling the gaps, these vacancies still exist, but at least they can be reduced significantly.

at the same time.

Gu Qingfeng could also sense that the fortune of the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty was becoming increasingly stable.

……

Gu Qingfeng: "Gu Yang, prepare yourself. I will take action to wipe out all the forbidden zones of evil gods in the Ancient Profound Immortal Realm!"

Gu Yang: "...Father broke through?"

Gu Qingfeng: "Well, I'd say that's a breakthrough!"

……

Inside the Divine Martial Dynasty, Gu Yang looked at the messages on the chat interface, and his face immediately lit up with uncontrollable joy.

For more than two thousand years.

Gu Yang also faced immense pressure when facing the Forbidden Zone of Evil Gods.

After all, the Divine Martial Dynasty was gradually growing stronger, which was destined to make other evil god forbidden zones wary.

Under such circumstances.

The evil god clan pressed forward relentlessly.

Although the two sides have not yet reached the point of a full-scale war, Shenwu's development has been greatly restricted.

In addition-

The most important point.

That's what Gu Yang noticed.

these years.

The Ancient Mystic Forbidden Zone is becoming increasingly unstable, and the Ancient Mystic Lord seems to be unable to restrain himself from taking action against the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, the pressure Gu Yang faced was considerable.

Gu Yang was well aware of the vast gap between himself and a being who appeared to be a Fifth Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

So far.

He was only at the level of a First Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

Despite being blessed with the fortune of the Divine Dynasty and having divine assistance in cultivation, the cultivation of the Heavenly Venerable Realm is by no means easy.

Over thousands of years, Gu Yang's actual improvement has been limited.

originally.

Gu Yang had already prepared for the worst.

That is, the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone could no longer hold back and made a move. Shenwu poured all his resources into a desperate battle against him, betting that the Lord of the Forbidden Zone had not been able to break through to the Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerable realm.

Although the probability of the latter is extremely low, Gu Yang has no choice but to take the gamble.

But it's different now.

Gu Qingfeng's direct statement that he wanted to resolve the troubles of the Ancient Xuanxian Domain meant that the other party was absolutely confident.

This is a certainty.

This is based on the premise that the Ancient Mysterious Lord is already a Five Tribulation Heavenly Venerable.

Based on Gu Yang's understanding of Gu Qingfeng, his father was always cautious and always prepared for the worst in everything.

Under such circumstances, Gu Qingfeng was still confident in wiping out the numerous forbidden zones of evil gods in the Ancient Profound Immortal Domain, which meant that the opponent already possessed the means to suppress the Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerable.

At least.

Gu Qingfeng's current strength is at the top level of the Fifth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable. As for whether he can break through to the Sixth Tribulation level, to be honest, Gu Yang doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

After all, to possess strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Celestial Venerable in less than five thousand years since ascending to the Immortal Realm is simply too astonishing. (End of Chapter)
