My son is about to break through.

Fivefold Divine Tribulation.

Even with its immense power, it is at most at the level of a Fifth Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

strictly speaking.

The power of such divine tribulations.

Even compared to a true Five Tribulations Celestial Venerable, he is still somewhat inferior.

after all.

If the power of the divine tribulation is this strong, then how many people in the entire Endless Immortal Realm can successfully overcome it?

and so.

Even the strongest Fivefold Divine Tribulation has its limits.

Now that the Longevity Chaos Body has advanced to the fifth tribulation level, this level of divine tribulation power poses no threat to Gu Qingfeng.

When the divine tribulation descended, Gu Qingfeng relied solely on his physical body to withstand it, and thus successfully transcended the tribulation.

When the final divine tribulation descended.

The calamity clouds dissipated.

An aura ten times more terrifying than that of a Four Tribulation Celestial Venerable rose from Gu Qingfeng and swept across the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

"Success!"

"To undergo divine tribulation entirely with one's physical body—such profound spiritual power is terrifying!"

"A physical body of this caliber would be difficult for even a Fifth Tribulation Celestial Venerable to shake!"

Many Celestial Venerables were filled with shock. The shock brought about by Gu Qingfeng's tribulation was deeply engraved in their minds and almost impossible to forget.

First, Qingmu Tianzun perished in the Fivefold Divine Tribulation, and then Gu Qingfeng bravely endured the Fivefold Divine Tribulation with his physical body.

Comparing the two.

This only made Gu Qingfeng seem even more unfathomable.

but.

After the shock.

These celestial beings also felt a sense of relief.

The evil god clan is now very powerful. If Gu Qingfeng were to perish in the Longevity Tribulation, it would mean that the human race would lose another top expert.

in contrast.

The opponent has now passed through the fifth level of divine tribulation.

Their strength is destined to reach a new level.

The opponent was able to suppress the Lord of Tianyuan back then, and now that he has broken through to the Fifth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, even if his strength is not as good as that Blood Shadow God Lord, it is probably not much different.

Having such a powerful figure in charge is a great blessing for the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty and the entire human race.

……

"Mid-stage Fifth Tribulation Celestial Venerable!"

Inside the Tianyuan Forbidden Zone, Gu Qingfeng looked at his attribute panel. This time, he had survived the Longevity Tribulation, and his cultivation level was not just at the initial stage of the Fifth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, but had directly entered the middle stage of the Fifth Tribulation.

Having successfully broken through to a higher realm, one must now assess one's current strength and determine its level.

To be honest.

Even Gu Qingfeng himself had no idea.

But there is one thing.

He could conclude.

That means I am very strong now, incredibly strong.

If it were someone who hadn't surpassed their previous self, Gu Qingfeng was confident he could easily suppress them.

"I just don't know how much of a gap there is between my current strength and that Blood Shadow God Lord!"

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself.

To be the ruler of a divine kingdom, one must be at least a Seventh Tribulation Celestial Venerable, and possibly even reach the Eighth or Ninth Tribulation level.

With his current strength, if the opponent were an ordinary Seven Tribulation Celestial Venerable, then there would naturally be no problem.

But if it's an Eight Tribulation Celestial Venerable, then it's hard to say.

As for the Nine Tribulations Celestial Venerable—

If the Blood Shadow God Lord is truly the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable.

So what Gu Qingfeng had to do was consider how to save his life.

"But as things stand, if I were given another 200,000 years, breaking through to the peak of the Fifth Tribulation wouldn't be a problem. If I had more time to mature, reaching the Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable level would be an easy feat."

In the current situation, it remains to be seen how long the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty can keep this a secret from the Evil God Clan!

Gu Qingfeng pondered to himself.

but.

In his view, the possibility of him being a Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerable was extremely slim.

If that Blood Shadow God Lord is actually a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, then the power of the Blood Shadow God Kingdom is not as simple as it appears now.

of course.

Nothing is absolute.

Gu Qingfeng naturally had to be cautious.

Subsequently.

He looked toward the Tianyuan Forbidden Zone.

Now, with the Fivefold Divine Tribulation raging, the remaining aura of the Divine Tribulation has truly made this place a forbidden zone that living beings cannot venture into.

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even ancient celestial beings who have attained immortality would not even be qualified to enter the Heavenly Abyss Forbidden Zone if their strength is average.

After all, the remaining power here comes from the Fivefold Divine Tribulation.

Even a wisp of the power of such a divine tribulation could kill an ordinary Heavenly Venerable.

Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Venerable!

The difference between each tribulation is astonishingly large.

at this point.

Needless to say.

and so.

Even the slight remnants of the power of the fifth level of divine tribulation are still an unstoppable force for those first and second level heavenly venerables.

To put it bluntly...

The gap between two Celestial Venerables can sometimes be even greater than the gap between a Celestial Venerable and a Great Emperor.

This is why.

The reason why Gu Qingfeng needs to undergo tribulation in the Tianyuan Forbidden Zone.

If one were to undergo tribulation elsewhere, the power of the fivefold divine tribulation alone could turn a world into a dead zone, causing all living beings to perish within the tribulation.

now.

Inside the Tianyuan restricted area.

It's not just the remnants of divine tribulation power.

The earth is also stained with the blood of many celestial beings.

The confusion of numerous forces has caused some strange changes in the Tianyuan Forbidden Zone.

Just saying.

These strange changes.

It posed no threat to Gu Qingfeng.

Leave the Tianyuan Forbidden Zone.

Gu Qingfeng returned to the palace.

now.

All the ministers were waiting there.

Upon seeing Gu Qingfeng's return, the ministers immediately bowed and said in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on surviving the Tribulation of Immortality and advancing your strength once again!"

"Gentlemen, you may dispense with formalities. One year from now, I will be giving a sermon in Xuantian Immortal City. All students of the Immortal Prefecture's academies, as well as officials of the ninth rank and above, are welcome to come and listen to the Great Dao!"

Gu Qingfeng was in a great mood and immediately spoke.

As soon as these words came out.

The ministers were immediately filled with excitement.

"Your Majesty, we thank you!"

The Celestial Emperor preaches!

Moreover, this person has survived five divine tribulations!
To hear such a being explain the Great Dao is an unparalleled opportunity.

soon.

This news spread throughout the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

Many cultivators who heard this news were filled with envy, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Students of Xianzhou Academy!

Officials of the ninth rank or above!

Both identities are not easy to obtain.

These conditions alone are enough to keep the vast majority of cultivators out.

However, the cultivators who met the requirements could no longer sit still and immediately headed towards the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

Although Gu Qingfeng gave them a full year, the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is vast, and for many cultivators, a year is not a very long time. Therefore...

When this news came out.

Many cultivators went to Xuantian Immortal City as soon as possible.

at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the celestial palace.

Yu Yang came to pay his respects.

"Your Majesty, this is a list of the many officials currently in the court. Please take a look!"

"Um……"

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, then glanced at the jade book in front of him, and understood all the information.

Two hundred thousand years have passed, during which many celestial officials in the imperial court have come and gone.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Only those who have attained immortality can live for two hundred thousand years.

and so.

The first batch of celestial officials.

Now, apart from a few powerful individuals like Nan Haoran who have reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, everyone else has been replaced.

of course.

Not all of the celestial officials who were replaced passed away peacefully. Most of them forged ancient cities of life, sealing themselves away to avoid the crisis of their lifespan and wait for the opportunity to ascend to the Heavenly Venerable in the future.

If it were in the lower realm, it wouldn't be so simple for a Great Emperor Realm expert to avoid the erosion of time. A simple ancient city of life is not enough to conceal the aura of a Great Emperor; a powerful forbidden zone Dao aura is needed for protection.

But in the Immortal Realm, none of these are problems.

Any celestial being could easily conceal the secrets of heaven with a single act.

at this time.

And then, it is protected by the ancient city of life.

That would ensure absolute safety.

therefore.

Now, ninety-nine percent of the faces in the imperial court are unfamiliar. As for the origins of these celestial officials, most of them come from academies in various celestial states.

After all, the talents of the Immortal State Academy are cultivated with all the efforts of the Immortal Dynasty, and their loyalty is generally higher.

not to mention.

They were able to graduate smoothly from Xianzhou Academy.

This in itself demonstrates the exceptional talent of these students.

If one enters the imperial court and becomes an official, one will receive the nourishment of the celestial dynasty's fortune, and the chances of achieving immortality in the future are not small.

Of course.

An opportunity is an opportunity.

Whether or not you can catch it is another matter entirely.

At least up to now, almost no new Celestial Venerables have appeared in the past two hundred thousand years.

Gu Qingfeng was not surprised by this situation.

If it were so easy for a Celestial Venerable to break through, then the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm wouldn't have only had a dozen or so Celestial Venerables back then.

Immortal realms like Falling Star Vermilion Bird would certainly not be without a single Heavenly Venerable.

It is precisely because the breakthrough of the Celestial Venerable is so difficult that the number of Celestial Venerables in each Immortal Realm is so small.

To truly break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm, one must either possess extraordinary talent or rely on a great stroke of luck.

For example, Gu Shengnan and her group are like that.

The group possessed exceptional talent, but none were so extraordinary as to defy the heavens. Their breakthroughs were made possible by the abundant resources supplied by the Immortal Dynasty.

otherwise.

It won't be easy for any of them to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

"Speaking of which, you've been at the Celestial Venerable Realm for over two hundred thousand years, haven't you?"

Gu Qingfeng looked at Yu Yang in front of him, who smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty is right. It is a pity that I am dull-witted and have made little progress in my cultivation over the years. I have been stuck at the First Tribulation Celestial Venerable Realm and have failed the cultivation of the Celestial Dynasty!"

"You don't need to underestimate yourself. There are very few cultivators in the world who can truly enter the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Your ability to enter this realm is already unmatched by other cultivators."

However, cultivation at the Celestial Venerable Realm is not easy, and one needs to settle down and consolidate before breaking through.

Otherwise, even if one could attract the divine tribulation of immortality to descend upon the world, there's no guarantee of surviving it!

Speaking of it.

Gu Qingfeng paused.

"A year from now, I will personally give a sermon. You may come and listen, and perhaps you will gain something from it."

"It is an immense honor for me to receive Your Majesty's teachings!"

……

In the Imperial Garden.

Gu Qingfeng appeared here.

In the fishpond that resembled a galaxy, a golden koi carp leaped out of the water.

Two hundred thousand years apart.

The Carp King, brought from the lower realm, has now broken through to the peak of the Demon Emperor level, just one step away from the Eternal Heavenly Venerable realm.

"In the lower realm, the limit for spirit beasts is to step into the Demon Emperor realm, while in the upper realm, there has never been a spirit beast that can advance to the Heavenly Venerable realm and reach the realm of immortality."

However, given your current situation, you might become the first spirit beast in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm to attain immortality, or perhaps you should say, a celestial beast!

Gu Qingfeng gave the Carp King a deep look. The other party had obtained the blood of the Heavenly Venerable and had cultivated in this fish pond for two hundred thousand years. Its cultivation foundation was naturally extraordinary.

To be honest.

Compared to most of the top emperors in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, the probability of the Carp Emperor breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm is much higher.

at this time.

Gu Qingfeng waved his sleeve.

A drop of golden blood containing a trace of divine tribulation power directly entered the body of the Carp King.

"If you can refine this drop of blood, I believe you will be close to breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm!"

This drop of blood.

It is the remains left behind when Gu Qingfeng's physical body collapsed and merged with the power of the divine tribulation during his fifth divine tribulation.

Compared to ordinary Celestial Venerable blood, this drop of blood contains infinite mysteries.

just.

It is filled with the power of divine tribulation.

Although the power of such a divine tribulation was extremely weak, it was still beyond the capacity of an ordinary emperor to withstand.

But the carp king is different.

The other party is a spirit beast.

He was born with a powerful physique, unmatched by cultivators of the same realm.

and so.

Gu Qingfeng bestowed this drop of blood upon the other party.

He wanted to see it too.

What changes would occur if the Carp King broke through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm?

Having received the Heavenly Venerable's blood bestowed by Gu Qingfeng, the Carp King immediately fell into the pool and fell into a deep sleep.

However, if you pay close attention, you can see that the other person's body is gradually transforming, and their aura is slowly increasing.

However, this process is very slow, and it is difficult to notice much change in a short period of time.

Only Gu Qingfeng, whose divine sense has now reached a terrifying state, could discover such subtle changes.

……

a year.

It passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past year, Xuantian Immortal City has been teeming with powerful individuals.

Students from various celestial academies and officials from various states flocked to the scene upon hearing the news. Apart from a few celestial officials who held important positions and were unable to leave, almost all the remaining celestial officials came.

As a result, the number of powerful individuals in Xuantian Immortal City has increased significantly.

Fortunately.

This is beneath the feet of the Celestial Emperor.

Naturally, no one dared to cause trouble.

This day.

A celestial light of the Great Dao entered the nine heavens, and a terrifying pressure swept across the world. All the students of the Immortal Continent Academy and the officials of the Immortal Dynasty seemed to receive some kind of guidance, and their divine senses all left their bodies. When they came to their senses, they had already appeared in another vast chaotic void.

Above the chaotic sky, a majestic and abyss-like figure sat upright, with three thousand great Daos flowing beneath him and countless immortal lights descending, their powerful pressure capable of suppressing eternity.

When all the cultivators saw this scene, they instinctively felt a sense of awe.

Even many cultivators who had never seen Gu Qingfeng's true face now had the same thought in their minds.

Immediately.

Then, a large number of cultivators bowed and knelt down, saying in unison.

"Greetings to the Immortal Emperor!"

"This sermon will only last for a hundred years. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your own destiny!"

Gu Qingfeng looked down at the numerous cultivators below and slowly spoke, his voice like the celestial music of the Great Dao, causing all the cultivators' minds to tremble violently. (End of Chapter)
