My son is about to break through.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the mortal realm be entering another period of great contention and prosperity soon?"

Gu Qingfeng looked towards the former Blood Cang Forbidden Zone, where the Ascension Altar leading to the lower realm was located.

Behind the altar.

That is, to communicate with the immortals.

All cultivators from the lower realms must enter the immortal gates in order to truly enter the immortal realm.

At first.

To prevent the evil god from invading the mortal realm, Gu Qingfeng set up a seal in the immortal sect, making it difficult for the evil god to break the seal and wreak havoc on the mortal realm again.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

Gu Qingfeng himself never expected that he could suppress and annihilate the entire evil god clan of the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm in just a few thousand years.

This way.

The backup plan that was originally laid out is now useless.

After all, the evil gods of the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm are gone, so the sealing power in the altar naturally has no meaning.

Long ago.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is inherently connected to the lower realm.

However, the appearance of the evil god clan later caused the ancient demon gods in the lower realm to completely sever their connection with each other.

Think of this.

Gu Qingfeng took a step forward.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the Blood Azure Forbidden Zone.

Although the evil god was exterminated, this forbidden zone is still difficult for living beings to enter.

Ultimately.

Because the evil god clan has occupied this place for too long, that strange power has never dissipated, and it is almost impossible for cultivators who are not at the Great Emperor level to resist it.

but.

these questions.

For Gu Qingfeng, it was essentially meaningless.

His gaze was now fixed directly on the Ascension Altar.

With Gu Qingfeng's current perspective, he can naturally see the clues behind this ascension altar.

The array formation is profound and mysterious, and it is connected to the passage to the lower realm.

to be honest.

This ascension altar serves as a medium between the mortal realm and the immortal realm.

But in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, whether the Ascension Altar exists or not is not that important.

Immediately.

With a thought, Gu Qingfeng saw the Ascension Altar suddenly collapse, and the surrounding void abruptly trembled, like a calm sea suddenly being engulfed by raging waves.

At the center of this wave, a spatial vortex emerges.

Behind this vortex lies the chaos of the lower realm.

"go with!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Gu Qingfeng conjured up numerous materials out of thin air, which were then consumed and refined by immortal fire.

In less than a few breaths, all the materials had completely melted away.

finally.

A bronze immortal gate suddenly appeared.

Followed by.

Gu Qingfeng merged the spatial vortex with the bronze immortal gate, and then a powerful Daoist energy entered it, causing the previously turbulent spatial passage to stabilize instantly.

This is the end.

Everything returned to calm.

"With this bronze immortal gate, any cultivator at the Great Emperor realm can directly enter the Immortal Realm in the future!"

Gu Qingfeng looked at his masterpiece and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Before his breakthrough, achieving this level wouldn't have been so easy for him.

But things are different now.

He entered the realm of the Fourth Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

Gu Qingfeng's understanding of the Great Dao has reached a new level.

This way.

Reopening communication between the two sides is naturally an easy task.

Followed by.

Gu Qingfeng took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the bronze portal.

……

at the same time.

The chaos of the lower realm trembled.

A vast expanse of radiant light appeared, and the previously invisible immortal gates reappeared. Massive amounts of immortal energy poured down into the chaos below as the gates emerged.

That moment.

The vast chaos seemed to have been completely revived.

The cultivators from countless star systems were all looking at the immortal gate in the void, their expressions a mixture of shock and barely suppressed joy.

"This is... a cultivation sect!"

"The gates to immortality have opened; we can now step into the upper realm!!"

These monks could not help but be excited.

Normally.

To attract the celestial sects, one must at least reach the peak of the Great Emperor realm.

however.

Breaking through to the Great Emperor level is already no easy feat.

To reach the pinnacle of the Great Emperor realm is an even greater dream.

Even over millions of years, the Chaos Realm might not produce a single powerful figure who reaches the pinnacle of the Great Emperor realm.

But now.

The Immortal Gate appeared directly.

This means.

Other powerful individuals who are not at the peak of the Great Emperor realm have the opportunity to directly enter the Immortal Gate and ascend to the Upper Realm.

at the same time.

The Desolate Ancient Realm.

Within the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Now, Gu Shengxing, who has reigned for ten thousand years, looked up at the void, and finally revealed an undisguised joy on his face.

"The Immortal Gate has opened; the opportunities of the Immortal Realm have arrived!"

but.

Surprised and delighted.

Gu Shengxing was also secretly on guard.

The Immortal Gate does not open lightly. The last time the Immortal Gate appeared on its own initiative was because of the invasion of an evil god from the Immortal Realm.

With the reappearance of the Immortal Sect, it's hard for Gu Shengxing not to think about this aspect.

It wasn't just Gu Shengxing.

The other ancient cultivators who had survived from the last great era of conflict all had a mixture of joy and worry on their faces when they saw this scene.

The gates to immortality are open!
It is an opportunity from the Immortal Realm!

But it also represents unpredictable dangers.

at this time.

A figure emerged from the immortal gate.

"boom--"

A terrifying divine might swept across the entire chaos in an instant. No matter how distant the star system was, it was covered by this pressure. From ordinary mortals to the most powerful emperors, everyone was now breathless, staring at the majestic figure standing in the immortal gate with uncontrollable horror in their eyes.

That figure, though only seen once, seemed to be deeply imprinted in my mind, impossible to forget.

Exactly.

They could not see the true faces of the figures.

However, when they looked inward at the figure in their sea of ​​consciousness, a sense of awe instinctively welled up in their hearts.

"This is... my imperial grandfather!!"

Gu Shengxing stared intently at the figure. The throbbing in his bloodline filled him with shock, surprise, and disbelief.

This person, who had ascended to the Immortal Realm more than 10,000 years ago, has suddenly returned, which inevitably makes him feel incredulous.

But that's it.

The figure disappeared from the immortal gate.

at the same time.

Within the palace.

Gu Shengxing suddenly realized that there was a familiar figure in front of him.

"Grandson greets His Majesty!"

He suppressed his excitement, his eyes slightly reddening. The throbbing from his bloodline and the longing of more than ten thousand years were enough to make him, even with his cultivation at the Great Emperor level, somewhat unsettled.

the other side.

Gu Shengan was the same.

"You've all grown up!"

Gu Qingfeng looked at the two people in front of him with a kind expression on his face.

The Gu family has many bloodlines.

But only a few people truly made him feel close to them.

obviously.

Among these people.

This includes the two brothers, Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan.

More than 10,000 years.

With the advantage of immortal elixirs and the bloodline of celestial beings, the two successfully entered the Great Emperor realm during this grand competition.

Unfortunately, neither of them has progressed beyond the mid-stage of the Great Emperor realm.

To truly reach the pinnacle of the Great Emperor, one still needs a period of time to mature.

But barring any unforeseen circumstances.

It seems likely that the two will reach the peak of the Great Emperor realm before the end of this great era of contention.

after all--

The bloodline of the Celestial Venerable is no ordinary one!
not to mention.

The Gu family is not Gu Qingfeng, the immortal celestial being.

Including Gu Yang and others.

A family-oriented person.

There are already five immortal beings.

among them.

Gu Qingfeng even stepped into the Fourth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Such bloodline reinforcing, if one can truly inherit the advantages of the Celestial Venerable's bloodline, will surely make one a peerless genius of this era, comparable to the so-called immortal or divine bodies.

at this point.

This is not a joke.

The immortal and divine bodies in the lower realms are nothing special.

Compare.

The Heavenly Venerable's bloodline is a cut above the rest.

However, perfectly inheriting the power of the entire Celestial Venerable bloodline is no easy task.

However, inheriting even a portion of the Celestial Venerable's bloodline is enough to make one no weaker than an Immortal or Divine Body.

Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan, as second-generation descendants of the Gu family, are descendants of Gu Yang and have a close blood relationship with Gu Qingfeng.

and so.

The concentration of their Celestial Venerable bloodlines was naturally extremely high.

All thoughts.

It flashed through Gu Qingfeng's mind in an instant.

at this time.

Gu Shengxing suppressed his excitement and respectfully asked, "Grandpa, what brings you back to the mortal realm this time?"

"I have come here to reopen the passage between the Immortal Realm and the Lower Realm, and also to bring some of the Gu family's prodigies to the Upper Realm for further training!"

Gu Qingfeng stated his purpose directly.

Hear the words.

Gu Shengxing was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

"I see... but why is Father not here?"

"Your father is now in another immortal realm, different from the one I am in. If you wish to see him, you will have the opportunity in the future."

Not only your father, but also your uncles, are in different immortal realms.

The realm I reside in is called the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, a realm interconnected with this lower realm. Most cultivators who ascend to immortal realms appear in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm…”

Gu Qingfeng patiently explained, and also told the two some information about the Upper Realm.

This statement came out.

Both of them looked utterly shocked.

Endless Immortal Realm!

The vastness!

With just a few simple words, they understood the power of the Immortal Realm.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Now that you two have both entered the Great Emperor Realm, would you be willing to come with me to the Immortal Realm?"

"Grandson is willing!"

The two answered almost without hesitation.

joke!

Refusing at this point would be a sign of utter stupidity.

My grandfather has already entered the realm of immortality, so being able to go to the Immortal Realm with this person is an immense opportunity.

See this.

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "I'll give you three days to handle everything properly. Also, how many Great Emperor Realm cultivators does the Gu family currently have?"

"Now, including us, the Gu family has a total of five Great Emperors!"

Gu Shengxing said respectfully.

Five Great Emperors!

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

In the end, the Gu family's foundation is only average. It was founded less than 20,000 years ago, and now, having just experienced the second great era of contention, the emergence of five Great Emperors is naturally quite astonishing.

To know.

These are the five great emperors.

This excludes Gu Yang and others.

If the Gu family were given more time to mature, the number of experts at the Great Emperor realm would increase several times over.

It is almost unimaginable for a single power to have a dozen or twenty Great Emperors emerge.

"Alright, you'll be in charge of handling these matters. Three days from now, I will return to the Immortal Realm. Emperor Gu and those with exceptional talent can accompany me."

The choice is up to you two!

Gu Qingfeng said calmly.

In this regard.

The two of them naturally obeyed.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng's mind stirred.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the Gu family's residence.

More than 10,000 years later, the Gu family became even more glorious, with numerous palaces and mansions, making it the most prestigious imperial family.

Do not--

Precisely.

It is the only Celestial Venerable family in the entire Desolate Ancient Realm.

Under Gu Qingfeng's divine sense, nothing in the Gu family could escape his eyes.

at the moment.

The number of offspring living in the Gu family alone is no less than several hundred thousand.

not only that--

Among these hundreds of thousands of bloodline descendants, there are as many as two thousand who have reached the Saint Realm. Although there are not as many Great Saints and Saint Kings as there are Saints, there are still quite a few of them.

among them.

There are a total of seventy-two Quasi-Emperor level beings.

And then there are the five Great Emperors, including Gu Shengxing.

It can be said.

Given the current strength of the Gu family, looking back through the ancient times to the present, the only force that can truly rival it is probably the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

Seventy-two Quasi-Emperors!

Not surprisingly.

Some may eventually attain the Great Emperor realm.

Apart from that.

Gu Qingfeng also keenly noticed this.

Although the Gu family has changed a lot compared to more than 10,000 years ago, the part that originally belonged to the Gu family has remained unchanged.

The growth of the Gu family is more like an expansion outward based on the original Gu family, but without changing the original structure in the slightest.

Gu Qingfeng was quite satisfied with this situation.

soon.

He appeared in another place.

Inside the pavilion, a beautiful woman sat alone admiring the flowers, seemingly untouched by the passage of time.

When Gu Qingfeng appeared, the former was slightly taken aback. His previously calm face trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to redden a little.

"Magnolia, I'm back!"

A simple sentence brought tears to Xu Yulan's eyes.

"Husband!"

She suddenly stood up and threw herself into Gu Qingfeng's arms, greedily breathing in the familiar scent that had been with her for over ten thousand years, which greatly satisfied her heart.

Gu Qingfeng also embraced the other person, gently inhaling the fragrance of their hair. Even his usually calm and composed heart, like a still well in the Heavenly Venerable Realm, was stirred by countless ripples.

That moment.

Gu Qingfeng's state of mind seemed to have changed. His cultivation, which had just entered the Fourth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, was instantly stabilized.

The Heavenly Venerable is ruthless!

That's because they have witnessed the changes of time and ultimately remained unmoved by external things.

However, Gu Qingfeng did not cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness.

If one cultivates to the point where all emotions disappear, becoming a puppet solely focused on cultivation and seeking the Dao, then that outcome is certainly not what one desires.

Gu Qingfeng craves strength, because he wants to have enough strength to protect everything he can protect.

and so.

Now I see Xu Yulan.

This naturally caused a fluctuation in Gu Qingfeng's state of mind.

But such fluctuations.

But it's not necessarily a bad thing.

He looked down at the person in front of him, his expression gentle.

"More than ten thousand years have passed, and you are still as beautiful as ever!"

this sentence.

A smile immediately appeared on Xu Yulan's tear-streaked face. (End of Chapter)
