My son is about to break through.

Chapter 497 Falling Star Immortal Realm
as predicted.

As the final heavenly tribulation descended, an aura belonging to the Eternal Celestial Venerable instantly swept across a celestial realm.

All the cultivators who saw this fell silent once again.

This is probably the easiest tribulation of immortality to overcome in the history of the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

The opponent relied entirely on their supreme treasure to forcibly block the power of the Longevity Tribulation.

These methods.

Difficult to replicate.

after all.

Not everyone can recklessly take out dozens of half-step creation-level spiritual treasures to squander.

"Grandmother has achieved immortality!"

Somewhere in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, Gu Shengnan turned her head to look in the direction of the Immortal Dynasty, a smile appearing on her usually cold face, and her eyes immediately became firm.

Since her grandmother had already attained immortality, she couldn't fall too far behind.

More than a thousand years.

Gu Shengnan had already felt the oppressive force emanating from the life force.

Although she never aged, the aura of decay was already close to his own.

If one were to waste another few hundred years, and become corrupt, the chance of truly breaking through to the Celestial Venerable Realm would be greatly reduced.

under these circumstances.

Gu Shengnan naturally wanted to break through to the next realm as quickly as possible.

For over a thousand years.

She traveled to all corners of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, challenging numerous powerful figures with her three-foot-long sword, defeating many ancient emperors, and honing her sword intent.

What they seek is to truly understand the great principles of swordsmanship.

That's all.

Only then can one truly break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm.

a few days later.

A great war broke out.

As the vast sword intent pressed down across the sky, all other auras vanished.

An ancient emperor looked at Gu Shengnan with a complex and emotional expression on his face.

"This battle is a defeat for me, the Emperor. Talented people emerge in every generation, and a new generation surpasses the old!"

"You flatter me, senior!"

Gu Shengnan, dressed in a stunning blue robe, wore a serene smile on her usually aloof face.

Upon seeing this, the ancient emperor couldn't help but offer a word of advice: "You wish to test your sword against the world and seek immortality, but the way of the sword also carries the intent of killing."

If possible, you might as well go to other places and find the path to the Celestial Venerable through life-and-death battles.

Simply sparring with other cultivators is not enough to truly comprehend the Great Dao of the Sword!

Speaking of it.

He paused, then continued.

"However, these are merely my humble insights. Whether one can truly comprehend the Great Dao of Immortality still depends on one's own destiny!"

After the ancient emperor finished speaking, he also sighed.

Although he was an emperor, he understood that his path to immortality was already cut off, and unless he had a heaven-defying opportunity, he would have no chance of attaining enlightenment in the future.

In contrast.

Gu Shengnan has a good chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm in the future.

It was a rare opportunity to see such a promising junior, so the ancient emperor offered some guidance.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. If I am able to attain immortality in the future, I will certainly leave a share of the opportunity for your sect!"

Gu Shengnan was also indebted to the other party.

"Thank you very much."

The ancient emperors also laughed.

In his view, offering advice would earn him a favor from an immortal being, which would naturally be beneficial and harmless.

Although Gu Shengnan may not actually be able to reach that level, even if the other party cannot attain the Heavenly Venerable status, it will not be a loss for their own sect.

But if the other party really succeeds in breaking through, the opportunity left behind by that immortal being will be enough to ensure the sect's long-lasting prosperity.

……

a few days later.

Gu Shengnan returns to Xuantian Immortal City.

Upon returning here, the first thing she did was to visit Gu Qingfeng.

"Grandfather!"

What brings you here today?

Gu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. In the more than a thousand years, Gu Shengnan had spent very little time in the Princess's Mansion, let alone come here.

While talking.

He looked at Gu Shengnan in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Not bad, your sword intent is refined, and traces of the Great Dao can be faintly seen. It seems that you will soon comprehend the Great Dao of Longevity and truly break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm!"

"I also came here for this reason. Over the years, I have challenged many powerful figures in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm with my swordsmanship, but I have never been able to truly take that step."

So I wanted to see if I could truly take that step through a life-or-death struggle.

However, such a place cannot be found in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm at present, so I have come to pay my respects to my imperial grandfather and ask if there is a suitable place for me to cultivate!

Gu Shengnan stated the purpose of her trip directly. She was never one to beat around the bush, so she naturally didn't waste any more words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly: "To temper oneself in the face of life and death and comprehend the great way of the sword, such a method is indeed feasible."

However, just as you said, there is currently no place in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm where you can hone your sword skills.

"In that case, take this token and find the Xuan Tian Guards, and have them take you to the Falling Star Immortal Realm!"

"Falling Star Immortal Realm?"

Gu Shengnan's expression froze slightly.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Now the Immortal Dynasty intends to take action against other Immortal Realms, and Falling Star Immortal Realm is one of them. The Xuan Tian Guards are currently suppressing the Evil God Clan of Falling Star Immortal Realm, so it would be perfect for you to go there!"

Done.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Qingfeng conjured a token in front of Gu Shengnan.

"Take this token with you, and they will make the arrangements."

"Yes!"

Gu Shengnan accepted the token and then respectfully withdrew.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly and then withdrew his gaze.

Among her grandchildren, Gu Shengnan's talent is second to none, even surpassing that of the brothers Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan.

and so.

If any of them can truly break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, then Gu Shengnan has the best chance.

Gu Shengnan has now grasped the path of swordsmanship and is only one crucial step away from truly embarking on the Great Dao of the Sword, which will allow her to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

and so.

That's why Gu Qingfeng arranged for Gu Shengnan to go to the Falling Star Immortal Realm for training.

With the blood of the evil god clan.

To lay the foundation for longevity.

but--

She is, after all, his own granddaughter.

Gu Qingfeng also left a trace of his power on the token.

Although this power is weak, it still comes from the hand of a Four Tribulation Celestial Venerable. If Gu Shengnan faces a life-or-death crisis, the power within this token will naturally be activated.

that time.

That could save the other person's life.

However, Gu Qingfeng did not mention these things.

The reason is simple.

Gu Shengnan wanted to hone herself through life-or-death battles, hoping to comprehend the path to immortality. If her opponent knew of this life-saving trick, it would be difficult to achieve the desired effect in battle. She had something to rely on.

How can one have the determination to fight a battle with their back to the wall?

Enlightenment!

Sometimes, a slight difference can lead to a huge error.

at this time.

A graceful figure walked slowly towards us.

Are you really comfortable letting Shengnan leave the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm alone?

"What's there to worry about? Young eagles eventually become independent, and Sheng Nan has cultivated for over ten thousand years; she's no longer a hothouse flower."

If we're talking about fighting against someone of the same realm, I'm afraid you wouldn't be her match either.

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the newcomer and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yulan nodded: "What my husband said is true, but the Falling Star Immortal Realm is not the Profound Heaven Immortal Realm after all. What if there is any danger..."

As she spoke, a look of worry appeared on her face.

Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already left a power in her body. Even if a Heavenly Venerable takes action, it is enough to ensure her safety."

Moreover, the Xuan Tian Guards were involved in this attack on the Falling Star Immortal Realm.

Don't forget, the Xuan Tian Guards consist of twenty-seven immortals. Surely they can protect Gu Shengnan?

These words.

This immediately put Xu Yulan at ease.

at this time.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the lovely woman in front of him and then smiled and said, "You have now reached the pinnacle of immortality, and have lived for hundreds of millions of years without aging. If you are not confident in passing the second divine tribulation in the future, then it is fine to stay in the first tribulation heavenly venerable realm!"

Since Xu Yulan had not yet achieved immortality, Gu Qingfeng naturally hoped that she could.

But now that he has already entered the Heavenly Venerable Realm, whether or not he breaks through to the next level is not so important.

Gu Qingfeng understood perfectly.

Xu Yulan's devotion to Taoism was not particularly firm.

The reason the other party was able to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm was entirely due to the massive amount of resources poured into it.

If such cultivation resources were used elsewhere, it wouldn't be a problem to create not just one immortal being, but even four or five immortal beings.

but.

Compared to the four or five immortals.

Gu Qingfeng valued his wife more.

Let alone four or five immortal beings, even if there were one or two dozen immortal beings, what difference would it make? When it's time to give them up, they should be given up.

What's more.

For Gu Qingfeng, ordinary immortality was just another matter, nothing worth mentioning.

……

Majestic mountains.

It exudes an ethereal aura.

The once lush and green vegetation has long since disappeared, leaving only collapsed mountains, dried-up rivers, countless drops of blood staining the earth, and numerous gruesome corpses.

One of the sect's protective formations rose up, but it was already teetering on the brink of collapse under the siege of a massive number of evil gods.

"Sect Master, the sect's formation can't hold for much longer. What should we do now?"

An elder, his clothes stained with blood, looked anxious. The other party's left arm had been severed at the root. A powerful expert at the Great Emperor Realm could regenerate a severed limb, but he did not have the extra strength to do so now.

Looking at the elder before him and at the few remaining disciples of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, a fleeting look of sorrow crossed Ji Canghai's face.

Followed by.

He looked at the numerous evil gods outside the formation, his eyes hardening with resolve.

"Pass down the order: if the formation breaks, all disciples must break through with all their might. Every one who can escape must be saved. At the very least, we must ensure that the lineage of our Yunhai Immortal Sect is not destroyed."

"At that time, I will stay behind to cover your retreat and buy you a chance to escape!"

"Sect Master, we swear to live and die with the sect!"

"That's right, we won't leave. Even if it means death, we'll make these beasts pay the price—"

One by one, the disciples of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect stepped forward, their expressions resolute, showing no sign of backing down.

Upon seeing this, Ji Canghai was furious: "It's meaningless for you to sacrifice yourselves here. Remember, there is only hope as long as you live!"

"You bear on your shoulders not only the legacy of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, but also the hope of the entire human race!"

"Now that the evil gods are causing havoc and the human race is weak, you are disciples of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect. Rather than perish here, you should preserve your bodies for future use. If you can reach the realm of immortality one day, you can settle the score with the evil god clan for today's karma."

Having cultivated for over eleven thousand years, reaching the Great Emperor realm in this lifetime is already the limit; there is no possibility of advancing further in the future.

Rather than passing away with all my cultivation, I'd rather fight for that sliver of hope for you and humanity!

Ji Canghai's words were deafening, causing many sect disciples to look sad, but none of them dared to refute him.

at this time.

The formation shattered.

Ji Canghai roared, "Break through with all our might! Every person who can escape is a potential escape!"

The words fell.

Then Ji Canghai let out a long roar, and his terrifying blood energy shook the heavens. At this moment, the power of a half-step Heavenly Venerable was unleashed without any reservation.

"kill!"

Ji Canghai held his sword in his right hand, and the fierce and resolute sword intent tore through the heavens and earth, seemingly making the Great Dao cry out in sorrow. Before a great evil god emperor could even react, he was directly cut in half, and a large amount of blood scattered across the sky. He had completely perished on the spot.

"kill!"

With Ji Canghai making his move, the remaining Great Emperor Realm experts of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect also unleashed their full power without hesitation, charging towards the Evil God Clan.

Since the sect leader is willing to die, what do they, the great emperors of these sects, have to fear?

"boom!"

The corrupt emperor underwent a complete sublimation, his decaying blood and energy instantly returning to their peak. His white hair turned completely black, his terrifying aura shattered the void, and his clothes fluttered wildly in the wind.

See this scene.

On the side of the evil gods, many emperors had gloomy eyes and revealed ferocious killing intent on their faces.

"Resist tenaciously!"

"Dare to oppose our clan? After this battle, the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect will cease to exist in the Falling Star Immortal Realm!"

"Slaughter the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, sacrifice blood for humanity—"

"kill!!!"

One after another, evil god emperors shattered the void and arrived, engaging in a fierce battle with the experts of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect.

Ji Canghai, alone with his sword, directly confronted five top-tier evil god emperors.

As the sect leader of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, Ji Canghai's strength is naturally top-notch. His cultivation has reached the half-step Heavenly Venerable Realm, and there are very few people in the entire Falling Star Immortal Domain who can truly rival him.

however.

Having just gone through a bloody battle, Ji Canghai was already quite exhausted.

Now, facing an attack from five top-tier evil god emperors, even with the strength of this Cloud Sea Immortal Sect Master, it is difficult for him to continue.

In just a short while, Ji Canghai was injured, the wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, and his Taoist robe was stained.

however.

Ji Canghai ignored his own injuries.

All he could see was a resolute killing intent.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ji Canghai's left arm was torn apart by an evil god emperor, but his expression remained unchanged. With his right hand, he swung his sword and directly beheaded another evil god emperor.

But at the same time.

Then the Evil God Emperor made a move, tearing the flesh off Ji Canghai's chest, revealing his heart beating faintly inside.

"Ji Canghai, you are doomed to die in this battle!"

The evil god emperor devoured the flesh and blood in his hands, a ferocious and terrifying smile appearing on his blood-covered face, and his scarlet eyes showed undisguised greed.

The flesh and blood of a half-step Celestial Venerable is enough to greatly improve one's cultivation.
