My son is about to break through.

"This is simple!"

With a thought, Gu Qingfeng conjured a blood-red array plate, and a terrifying aura of slaughter emanated from it, as if billions of living beings were howling and roaring in agony.

Even with Jiang Jue's current cultivation level, this terrifying aura of killing intent made him feel somewhat alarmed.

Just from this aura, one can understand just how many lives this treasure has slain.

If not.

This treasure could never contain such terrifying malevolent energy.

but--

Jiang Jue was, after all, a Fifth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable who had cultivated for countless years. Although such astonishing baleful energy was terrifying, he quickly recovered.

Gu Qingfeng said, "This supreme treasure is called the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which is the Seven Tribulations Killing Formation!"

The words fell.

With a flick of his sleeve, Gu Qingfeng unleashed a terrifying aura from the blood-red array plate, and nine Immortal-Slaying Swords descended into the void of the Immortal Palace, instantly forming a miniature killing array.

The terrifying power contained within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was only truly unleashed the moment it was set up.

That moment.

A strong sense of alarm rose in Jiang Jue's heart, making him feel as if he could smell the breath of death.

"As expected of the Seven Tribulations Killing Formation, its aura is truly terrifying!"

His face showed shock, but even more so, it was burning with passion.

this moment.

Jiang Jue had an urge to jump into the fray immediately.

He knew very well that if he could comprehend the mysteries of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, he would have a chance to overcome the sixth level of divine tribulation and truly enter the realm of the Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable.

But after a moment, Jiang Jue managed to suppress the impulse.

Comprehending the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is certainly important.

However, he also understood that now was by no means the best time to comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

at this time.

Gu Qingfeng also moved his divine sense and put away the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation again, then looked at Jiang Jue and said calmly.

"If Jiang Tianzun wants to comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, after this battle ends, I will set up this killing formation myself so that you can comprehend its mysteries until you break through to the Six Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm."

There are many positions in the Celestial Dynasty now, but given Jiang Tianzun's cultivation level and strength, it would be inappropriate for him to hold many of them.

Therefore, I intend to invite Venerable Jiang to serve as a revered figure in the Celestial Court, and to enjoy the rank of a first-grade official. What do you think?

"Your Majesty... I, your humble servant, pay my respects!"

Jiang Jue didn't refuse and immediately bowed to Gu Qingfeng.

See this.

A smile immediately appeared on Gu Qingfeng's face.

"Excellent! With Jiang Gongfeng by our side, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is like a tiger with wings!"

Jiang Jue was subdued.

Gu Qingfeng was naturally very satisfied.

A Five Tribulation Celestial Venerable is not comparable to any other ordinary Celestial Venerable.

To put it bluntly.

Currently, all the dozens of Longevity Celestial Venerables in the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty combined are no match for Jiang Jue.

This is no joke.

The Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Venerable.

The power of a Fifth Tribulation Celestial Venerable far surpasses that of a Fourth Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

Moreover, there are currently no Four Tribulation Celestial Venerables in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

Excluding Gu Qingfeng, the strongest of the other Heavenly Venerables were only at the level of entering the Third Tribulation.

Most of these Celestial Venerables are at the level of First Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

no way.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty ultimately had too shallow a foundation.

Dozens of immortal celestial beings were contributed, with more than twenty from just one Xuan Tian Guardian.

On the Gu family's side, there are also quite a few who have achieved immortality.

These Celestial Venerables achieved their breakthroughs in just a few million years. At the Celestial Venerable level, even a few million years is considered a newly promoted Celestial Venerable.

This is also normal.

Breaking through to the Celestial Venerable Realm is no easy feat.

Many First Tribulation Celestial Venerables, even after wasting hundreds of millions, or even tens or hundreds of billions of years, have failed to break through to the Second Tribulation level.

Millions of years is naturally a period of time for newly promoted Celestial Venerables who have cultivated for a long time.

This is why Gu Qingfeng was so keen to win over Jiang Jue.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty must grow stronger.

One must have sufficient strength.

Without strength.

The Immortal Dynasty is bound to stagnate.

Gu Qingfeng is strong on his own, but he is also overwhelmed with other tasks.

He can oversee the rear of the Celestial Court, so naturally, expanding the territory requires other powerful figures.

Just like now.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty finally destroyed the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, so why didn't it seize this opportunity to directly annex other immortal realms?

This was partly due to their fear of the evil god clan, but the biggest problem was that the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty was not strong enough.

Although there seem to be many Celestial Venerables, there are actually very few who can truly hold their own.

Ordinary Celestial Venerable.

To roam freely within a single immortal realm is enough.

But when it comes to conquering new territories and sweeping across numerous immortal realms, that's not quite enough.

Gu Qingfeng's vision is now vastly different from what it used to be.

The Endless Immortal Realm is teeming with powerful figures. In the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom alone, there are no fewer than several hundred Evil God Forbidden Lords, and among them, there are quite a few who are capable of reaching the fourth or fifth tribulation Heavenly Venerable level.

This battle.

If Gu Qingfeng hadn't been strong enough to suppress the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom with absolute power, even if the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty had won this battle, it would have paid a heavy price.

After all.

The problem is that the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty lacks high-end combat power.

This is a high-end combat force.

In Gu Qingfeng's view, it does not refer to ordinary Heavenly Venerables, but rather Heavenly Venerables who have at least stepped into the fourth or fifth kalpa.

and so.

Jiang Jue's joining the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has naturally boosted the dynasty's strength considerably.

Of course.

Gu Qingfeng had other motives.

"Jiang Gongfeng has been striving to reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm for many years, and I believe he knows many Heavenly Venerables of the human race. Now the Evil God Clan is powerful, and the foundation of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is still weak. I wish to suppress the Evil God Clan and save the human race from danger, but alas, I have the will but not the power."

If other human Celestial Venerables were willing to join the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, that would be even better!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jue pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty cares deeply for the human race, which I admire. Speaking of which, I do have a few candidates. Although they are slightly inferior to me in terms of strength, they are at least at the Fourth Tribulation Celestial Venerable Realm."

If I were to speak, they shouldn't refuse!

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you, Elder Jiang!"

Gu Qingfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Four Tribulations Celestial Venerable!

It would be wonderful if more experts of this caliber could join the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng's expression turned serious.

"Besides this matter, I have another question for you, Jiang Gongfeng."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"How many immortal realms did the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom originally govern? Furthermore, what position does the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom hold within the endless immortal realms? How much does Elder Jiang know about this?"

Gu Qingfeng asked.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jue replied without hesitation: "The Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom rules over a total of 360,000 Immortal Realms. As for the location of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, it is actually the border between our human race and the evil god race."

"The borderlands?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Jue nodded.

"In ancient times, the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom was located in one of the territories of a supreme power called the Lingxiao Immortal Court. Its Immortal Court had countless Immortal Realms under its command. Later, with the destruction of the Lingxiao Immortal Court, the vast Immortal Court disintegrated, and most of them fell into the hands of the Evil God Clan."

The remaining portion was completely divided up by the human race.

The Blood Shadow God Lord's strength was not among the top in the evil god race, so he only occupied 360,000 immortal domains and established the Blood Shadow God Kingdom in the border area.

However, although this place is said to be a border region, it is not easy to truly return to the human race.

After all, the 360,000 Immortal Realms are vast, and the distances within them are astonishing!

Jiang Jue's words made Gu Qingfeng nod in agreement.

One immortal realm is equivalent to the size of one chaotic universe in the lower realm.

One can only imagine just how vast the 360,000 Immortal Realms truly are.

more importantly.

The 360,000 Immortal Realms are not all connected, but scattered throughout the chaotic void.

This way.

It is quite obvious just how large the void occupied by the vast Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom is.

For ordinary cultivators, crossing 360,000 Immortal Realms to return to the human race is simply impossible.

Even with the Great Emperor's lifespan of 12,000 years, it would be impossible for him to traverse so many immortal realms, even if he spent his entire life doing so.

Only a celestial being who has attained immortality can achieve this.

but--

Chaotic void.

It also presents many dangers.

Not to mention that the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom once ruled this place, and countless evil gods and forbidden masters existed here.

Even a powerful being like Jiang Jue hides in some part of the chaos, not daring to show himself easily.

This alone shows just how dangerous the chaotic void is.

but.

The information revealed by Jiang Jue was good news for Gu Qingfeng.

His only concern was that the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom was located in the heart of the Evil God Clan. In that case, even if the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty destroyed the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, it would have little way out.

After all, if it is the heartland of the evil god race, it means that there are many top evil gods there.

Not only ordinary evil gods and forbidden masters, but even gods of a higher level, and even immortal gods who have reached the level of immortality, may exist.

Even with Gu Qingfeng's current strength, he is not confident in dealing with so many top-tier evil gods.

but.

The border between the two ethnic groups is a different story.

The Blood Shadow Kingdom was destroyed.

This means that the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, as the human race, has advanced the human race's front line.

With the support of the human race behind them, even if the evil god race launches a large-scale invasion, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty will still have a way out.

Think of this.

Gu Qingfeng's concerns had largely dissipated.

at this time.

Jiang Jue flipped his hand, and a purple compass suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, this is the Immortal Realm Map, a supreme treasure crafted by an immortal celestial being of the human race, which was later spread to various parts of the human race."

This Immortal Realm Map can cover a million Immortal Realms within its own radius. Even if one travels to other Immortal Realms, as long as they are recorded by the human race, their presence will be displayed in the Immortal Realm Map.

Speaking of it.

Jiang Jue used the power of a Celestial Venerable to enter the purple compass, and immediately a celestial light appeared on it, revealing an illusory scene.

In the scene, numerous immortal realms appeared like stars, but most of these stars were a strange red, as if they had been stained with blood.

Only a very few immortal realms were painted with a faint cyan hue, which was completely out of place with the blood-red stars.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the stars, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Could these crimson stars represent the immortal realm of the evil god race?"

"Your Majesty is right. The Crimson Immortal Realm represents the Evil God Clan, while the Azure Immortal Realm represents the Human Clan."

We are currently within the territory of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom. The emergence of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty has not yet been recorded by the human race, therefore the Immortal Realm Map has not been updated yet!

When Jiang Jue spoke, he was already pointing to that azure immortal realm.

"This immortal realm is the front line where the human race and the evil god race fought. However, now that the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom has been destroyed, this news will not be kept secret for long."

Once the news spreads, all human forces will inevitably advance. If Your Majesty wishes to strengthen the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, you must seize the opportunity and expand the dynasty's territory as much as possible!

Gu Qingfeng naturally understood Jiang Jue's words.

With 360,000 immortal realms in the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, it would be impossible for other forces not to be tempted at all.

Just say it.

Currently, the evil god race is powerful, and the human race must unite to fight against it.

However, Gu Qingfeng was not naive enough to believe that all human forces were without any selfish motives.

In fact.

Where there are people, there will be conflict.

Even with the threat of the evil god clan looming ahead, internal strife is inevitable.

Let alone the entire human race.

Even within a celestial realm, when there is a threat from an evil god, it is difficult for the human race to truly remain united.

Conflict.

Inevitable.

Therefore, once the news of the destruction of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom spreads, other forces will surely flock to it, eager to divide up the 360,000 Immortal Realms.

In addition-

Let alone the human race.

Even the evil god clan would probably take some action.

This way.

There's not much left for the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

"I have already made a decision on this matter. Jiang Gongfeng, you may leave now. Someone will lead you to the appropriate immortal abode shortly!"

"I resign!"

Jiang Jue respectfully withdrew.

However, although the other party left, they left behind the Immortal Realm Map.

This item is of little use to Jiang Jue, but it is of great significance to the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

and so.

Jiang Jue was naturally sensible.

After a while.

Gu Cangluo and the others then arrived.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Now that the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom has been destroyed, I intend to send troops to other Immortal Realms to expand the territory of the Immortal Dynasty!"

Upon seeing the group arrive, Gu Qingfeng got straight to the point.

As he spoke, he activated the Immortal Realm Map, and the phantoms of millions of Immortal Realms appeared directly before everyone's eyes.

This scene.

This surprised Gu Cang and the others.

"This is?"

"This is a map of the Immortal Realm. The blood-red stars you see represent the Immortal Realm of the Evil God Clan, while the blue stars represent the Immortal Realm of the Human Race."

"The Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom is currently situated at the border between the two races, therefore I order you to lead your armies to expand towards the human race's territory, and be sure to open a passage between the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty and the human race's camp!"

Gu Qingfeng pointed to the patch of blue stars and said in a deep voice.

Even now, the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm and the Azure Star are still separated by tens of thousands of immortal realms, and the distance between them is extraordinary.

But it is not important.

The passage to the human faction must be opened.

otherwise.

The evil god clan has attacked.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty was isolated and helpless.

As for the distance to the Immortal Realm, Gu Qingfeng had already made a decision.

With the Celestial Venerable as the vanguard, teleportation arrays were established in each adjacent Immortal Realm, and then the arrays were used to connect other Immortal Realms. In this way, the time to travel to other Immortal Realms could be greatly reduced, thereby greatly improving the flexibility of the army.

Simultaneously.

This also facilitates the expansion of the Immortal Dynasty's territory. (End of Chapter)
