My son is about to break through.

As Jiang Jue made his move.

Only then did others truly understand what the Five Tribulations Celestial Venerable was.

With such powerful figures before them, even an evil god who has reached the third tribulation level would be no different from an ant.

That's how I feel.

Gu Yang, who was also at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, naturally understood this the most deeply.

He originally thought that by breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm and unifying the entire Ancient Profound Immortal Domain, his strength would be considered among the strongest in the entire Endless Immortal Domain.

But it wasn't until he met Jiang Jue that Gu Yang realized that his pride in his strength was nothing but a joke in the face of such a being.

The Celestial Venerable experiences one tribulation and one heaven.

The gap lies in that.

It's even greater than the gap between an emperor and a celestial being.

Thereafter.

On the fairy boat.

Everyone felt at ease.

With such a powerful figure in charge, there's not much to worry about.

It turns out.

And indeed it is.

During this period, evil gods attacked the immortal ship again, but as long as they were not strong, Gu Yang and some powerful figures from the original Divine Martial Immortal Dynasty would step in to resolve the situation.

If it were to encounter an evil god or forbidden master like the one from the beginning, Jiang Jue would personally take action to suppress such an evil god or forbidden master.

along the way.

They encountered no fewer than ten evil gods and forbidden masters in total.

This is the result.

This caused many cultivators to secretly tremble with fear.

Only when they finally traversed the chaotic void did they realize just how great the dangers within the chaos truly were.

Even for a Celestial Venerable who has attained immortality, traversing the void is no easy feat, let alone for other cultivators.

Fortunately.

With Jiang Jue in charge, everything turned out alright despite the close calls.

one year later.

The celestial ship entered the range of the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

Upon entering the Ninth Heaven, one sees a Milky Way piercing through the void, with all sorts of stars swaying, and a gigantic figure exuding a terrifying aura swaying within the Milky Way.

"What it is?"

"Hiss, what a terrifying aura!"

"Could it be that there are beings in this galaxy who rival the Celestial Venerables?"

On the celestial ship, many cultivators couldn't help but gasp when they saw the terrifying figure in the starry river.

Although their faces could not be truly seen, the aura emanating from them was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Among the crowd.

Only Gu Yang, who has reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, can see through the illusions and realities within the Milky Way.

"This is... a Koi King!?"

Gu Yang looked at the golden figure in the starry river, a look of astonishment on his face.

He was naturally familiar with the spirit beasts that the Gu family used to keep.

but.

Who can tell him.

When did the Carp King, who hadn't even reached the Saint Realm before, reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm?
The fact that even a spirit beast could attain immortality felt somewhat like a dream to Gu Yang.

He was 100% certain that he had not misread the image.

The figure in the Milky Way must be the spirit beast that the Gu family used to raise.

Suppressing the shock in my heart.

At this moment, the celestial ship has already crossed the Milky Way.

After the Milky Way.

These are all kinds of celestial cities.

Each immortal city is majestic and imposing, guarding the void, and the armies within exude an astonishing aura.

What they saw and heard was a tremendous shock to everyone in Shenwu.

Only after entering the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm did they realize that there were significant differences between different immortal dynasties.

at this time.

The celestial ship pierced through the nine heavens.

They soon landed within the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

Jiang Jue said, "This place is the Xuantian Immortal Domain, which belongs to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty. You were originally Divine Martial cultivators, but now you are citizens of Xuantian."

However, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty also has its own rules. As long as you don't violate those rules, you are all free to act as you please!

Jiang made no special arrangements for these people.

After all, the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is so vast that these cultivators belonging to the Divine Martial Sect are unlikely to cause too much trouble.

not to mention.

Monks are not ordinary people.

With cultivation, one can even live on wind and dew.

Therefore, many things do not need to be deliberately arranged. Just give these cultivators some time, and they will adapt to the affairs of the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

As for the celestial officials who belonged to Shenwu, they accompanied Gu Yang to Xuantian Immortal City.

the difference is.

These celestial officials were temporarily housed within the celestial city.

As for Gu Yang...

Jiang Jue then personally brought him into the palace.

……

"The child has seen his father!"

Inside the Immortal Palace, Gu Yang was filled with excitement. Looking at Gu Qingfeng in front of him, he bowed respectfully.

Although he had seen Gu Qingfeng several times after ascending to the Immortal Realm, those were brief meetings and were nothing compared to a real encounter now.

Separated for millions of years.

A myriad of thoughts naturally welled up in my mind.

Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly: "You are already the ruler of a celestial dynasty and a Celestial Venerable who has reached the pinnacle of immortality, why do you act so childishly!"

"I haven't seen my father for a long time and I miss him terribly. It's hard for me to control my emotions!"

Gu Yang wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he smiled freely, completely lacking the dignified demeanor he displayed in public.

Gu Qingfeng looked at his eldest son and felt a pang of emotion.

The scene in Linxian back then seemed to reappear before my eyes.

Think about it.

Millions of years have passed since then.

The memories of Linxian County span only a few years, which is like a drop in the ocean in the millions of years of history, and is not worth mentioning at all.

Even so, this memory remains the most profound in Gu Qingfeng's heart.

A blink of an eye.

Such a long time has passed.

A child in the past.

He is now also known as the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

It would be impossible for Gu Qingfeng to have no feelings at all.

"Just come back!"

His expression was gentle, but he then looked at Gu Yang and changed the subject again.

"Now that Shenwu has been merged into Xuantian, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Just follow your father's arrangements."

Gu Yang shook his head.

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "In that case, you shall be the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty!"

Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty!

As Gu Yang's eldest son, there was naturally no problem.

Moreover, among the many descendants of the Gu family, Gu Yang is now the one with the strongest cultivation. If he were to become the crown prince, he would naturally be able to win the respect of the people.

Of course.

There is another reason.

Currently, the Gu family lineage is almost entirely descended from Gu Yang.

If the other party is the Crown Prince, the other members of the Gu family will have nothing to say.

In this regard.

Gu Yang's actions were meaningless.

this matter.

That's how it was decided.

Subsequently.

Gu Yang then said, "Now that I have returned with you, the original Divine Warriors and their celestial officials are also with me. I wonder what arrangements Father Emperor plans to make for them?"

Now that he was the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty, Gu Yang naturally changed his form of address.

Gu Qingfeng said, "If you truly have the ability, then serve as an official in the Immortal Dynasty and bring benefits to the region. Currently, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty governs many Immortal Realms, and its manpower is somewhat insufficient. If a Divine Martial Immortal Official could join, it would alleviate the situation!"

at this point.

Gu Qingfeng was not lying.

In recent days, the Xuan Tian army has swept across various immortal realms, causing the number of immortal realms under its command to surge, but correspondingly, there is a shortage of manpower.

After all, governing a celestial realm properly requires a significant investment of manpower.

Although there are many celestial officials in the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, it is still far from enough to meet the needs of the numerous immortal realms.

so far.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty only conquered these immortal realms and temporarily left a large army to suppress them to prevent unrest. As for other matters, they were left to be resolved slowly in the future.

The arrival of this group of celestial officials from Shenwu has naturally solved the immediate crisis.

"Speaking of which, your second and third brothers should be arriving soon. Once they arrive, the celestial officials of the two great divine dynasties can also be used by Xuantian."

This would greatly alleviate the manpower shortage problem!

Gu Qingfeng said one last thing.

Gu Yang nodded: "Since Father has already made arrangements, then there is no point in me doing so."

……

The next day.

above the hall.

Gu Qingfeng announced the establishment of a crown prince position in front of numerous court officials and celestial beings.

As soon as the news came out.

This naturally caused a stir throughout the court and the public.

One day, he became the crown prince!
These positions are no joke.

For millions of years, Gu Qingfeng has not established a crown prince position, and the other ministers have not urged him to do so.

After all, this Immortal Emperor was no ordinary cultivator; he was someone who had reached the pinnacle of immortality.

Let alone millions of years, even tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years are insignificant to beings who aspire to immortality.

This way.

With the position of crown prince vacant, it became less important.

but.

Now that a crown prince has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, things have changed.

but.

When Gu Yang appeared, the previous dissenting voices all fell silent.

Because they discovered that this prince was not only once the ruler of a celestial dynasty, but also a celestial being who had attained immortality, and was also Gu Qingfeng's eldest son.

With such multiple identities, it seems there's no problem in him taking on the position of crown prince.

and so.

This was then a natural progression.

In less than a few days.

The news that the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty had gained an additional crown prince spread far and wide.

……

"Father!"

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, Gu Shengxing and others came to pay their respects.

Having been separated for millions of years, the group was filled with excitement.

Gu Yang smiled faintly and nodded slightly as he looked at the group: "You have not neglected your cultivation over the years. It is quite good that you have been able to reach the Longevity Realm."

"Thanks to the guidance of our Imperial Grandfather, otherwise we children would not have had the opportunity to attain immortality!"

Gu Shengxing shook his head, his expression gradually calming down.

After many years apart, even though they had all reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, they still couldn't help but feel excited.

After a long time.

Gu Shengxing seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became somewhat complicated: "However, Mother and my fourth and fifth sisters have been asleep for millions of years and have not yet awakened!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang's smile faded considerably, and he immediately sighed.

"Immortality is difficult to achieve, and it cannot be forced. However, being in slumber means not perishing, and perhaps there will be an opportunity to attain enlightenment in the future!"

Gu Yang also harbored considerable feelings for Zhong Li and his other daughters.

But these feelings, separated by millions of years, inevitably become somewhat mundane.

But no matter what.

Hearing the others fast asleep, Gu Yang's thoughts were in turmoil.

However, he also knew that falling into a deep sleep was the best outcome for them.

After all, no one can achieve immortality. Even the Great Emperor only has a lifespan of 12,000 years. After millions of years, he would have already perished.

His current slumber is not a true fall from grace. If he has the opportunity to attain immortality in the future, he can be reborn to prove his path.

Of course.

Gu Yang was also well aware of this.

Achieving immortality is easier said than done.

Without a major stroke of luck, they would probably remain asleep forever.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

There is still a glimmer of hope even in deep sleep.

If one perishes, then all will be in vain.

Subsequently.

Gu Yang then headed to the ancestral home of the Gu family.

This is a world carved out on its own, a desolate place where only ancient cities of life stand, resisting the erosion of time and remaining unchanged for millions of years.

At a glance.

There are numerous such ancient cities.

Each ancient city of life represents a cultivator from the Gu family who slumbers there.

Gu Yang's expression grew increasingly complicated as he watched this scene.

"Immortality is difficult to attain. Of the many cultivators who are currently sleeping here, how many will ultimately be able to truly revive!"

A thought fell.

His divine sense spread out and quickly located the place where Zhong Li was sleeping.

They are both ancient cities of life, but their atmospheres are different.

Standing outside the ancient city of life, Gu Yang sighed softly, then stepped inside.

The restrictive power of this ancient city of life was useless against him.

Once you truly enter the ancient city of life, everything seems to come to a standstill, and even time seems to cease to exist.

Gu Yang was not surprised by these changes.

Step into the depths of the ancient city.

Gu Yang arrived inside a celestial palace.

There was an ice coffin lying horizontally, and a beautiful figure was already sleeping inside it.

Suddenly.

As if sensing something, the other person's tightly closed eyes twitched slightly, and then slowly opened.

"His Majesty!"

Zhong Li looked at the person who appeared in front of her, her expression seemed a little dazed. After a moment, she came to her senses, immediately came out of the ice coffin, and hugged Gu Yang.

The latter gently patted the other person's back, his voice soft.

"It's been so many years, I'm so sorry to have wronged you!"

……

After a long time.

Zhong Li's agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

She looked at the person in front of her, with traces of tears still remaining on her face.

"Why has Your Majesty come here?"

"I am no longer His Majesty. My father is now in charge of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty. I am merely the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty. There is no need to use the title of His Majesty anymore."

I was originally in another immortal realm, so I was unable to return. If my father had not sent a powerful figure to guide me, I don't know when I would have been able to come here.

Now that you've been here alone for so many years, you must be feeling quite lonely!

Gu Yang sighed. The emotions that had faded somewhat before had now returned to normal.

After all, they've been a couple for many years, so their relationship is naturally beyond what most people can compare to.

Zhong Li shook her head: "It's not that I'm lonely. I usually seal myself in and sleep, so I don't feel the passage of time."

“In addition, Sheng Nan and Sheng Xing sometimes come here to visit.”

That being said.

But Gu Yang still understood the immense suffering it must be for someone to remain asleep for millions of years.

After a while.

Gu Yang then said, "Don't worry, I will come to visit you every now and then."

"it is good!"

Zhong Li did not refuse.

After saying that, the two smiled at each other.
