My son is about to break through.

Half a month.

Within the Xuanzhen Immortal Realm, all cultivators of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect were completely slaughtered.

This is the end.

This ancient immortal sect.

That is, to be completely wiped out of the Xuanzhen Domain.

Simultaneously.

The Celestial Venerables from all sides also came to pay their respects to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

After all, no one dares to disobey the orders of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

This serves as a lesson from the past.

If they disobey the orders of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty at this time, their fate is predictable.

This way.

These forces, of course, did not hesitate at all.

Gu Qingfeng had no intention of completely eliminating these forces.

As long as the other party is willing to submit to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, then allowing them to continue staying in the Xuanzhen Immortal Realm is not a problem.

although.

These forces were once affiliated with the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

But now and then.

Since these forces are not truly enemies of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, Gu Qingfeng is naturally willing to give them a chance.

Of course.

If these forces fail to seize this opportunity, then there's nothing that can be done.

but--

Any being who can attain immortality has lived for countless years; how could they not understand the meaning of being able to bend and stretch?

In the face of life and death, pride is of no value.

Of course.

When facing the weak, these celestial beings still need to maintain some semblance of dignity.

But in front of a powerful figure like Gu Qingfeng, so-called face is not so important.

These forces submitted very readily.

With the support of numerous powerful forces, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty unified the entire Xuanzhen Immortal Domain without any setbacks.

After bringing the Xuanzhen Immortal Realm under his control, Gu Qingfeng immediately ordered troops to be dispatched to other immortal realms.

Under the command of the Xuanzhen Immortal Realm, there are three thousand immortal realms.

These are the immortal realms.

There are still remnants of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

If you don't do it, then so be it.

Once it's done, the natural course of action is to nip it in the bud and eliminate all threats before they even begin.

and so.

Gu Qingfeng would not give Xuanxiao Immortal Sect even the slightest chance.

-

one year later.

Gu Qingfeng returns to the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

"Meet my father!"

Upon receiving the news, Gu Yang immediately came to pay his respects.

Gu Qingfeng asked, "Has anything major happened in the Immortal Dynasty recently?"

"The Immortal Dynasty is now in a stable state. The news that my father led his army to destroy the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has gradually spread. All the forces that have heard this news are secretly wary and dare not compete with our Xuantian Immortal Dynasty."

The army is currently conquering other immortal realms, and everything is progressing steadily!

Gu Yang told the truth.

The news of the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has already spread far and wide.

The destruction of an ancient immortal sect brought an extraordinary shock.

Many forces were initially unsure about the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, unsure of its true attitude.

Many other forces are also attempting to secretly test the limits of the Immortal Dynasty.

But this time.

With the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

All attempts to test the limits have ceased to exist.

After all, the destruction of such an ancient and top-tier sect has shocked the remaining forces.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to challenge the majesty of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty?

Most forces do not believe they are stronger than the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

Xuanzhen Tianzun.

He is also one of the strongest among the human race who is closest to the Great Celestial Venerable.

The other party's demise.

And the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

All of this is enough to demonstrate the ruthlessness of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

No one wanted to offend such a power until they were absolutely certain they could stand up against the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

In this regard.

Gu Qingfeng was not surprised.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

That was his intention in itself.

Now, the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is what he wants to see as a way to establish the prestige of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

This way.

The obstacles that the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty will face in conquering the various immortal realms will be greatly reduced.

then.

With a thought, Gu Qingfeng conjured a storage ring, which landed directly in front of Gu Yang.

"These are 100,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones. Cultivators at the Heavenly Venerable Realm can break through to higher levels more quickly by studying and comprehending these Dao Immortal Stones."

You have been stuck at the early stage of the Second Tribulation for millions of years. These 100,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones should hopefully allow you to break through to the Third Tribulation level!

"Dao Immortal Stone!"

Looking at the storage ring in front of him, Gu Yang naturally understood the importance of such a treasure. He took a deep breath, put the storage ring into his sleeve, and then cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you, Father!"

"Go, you are the Crown Prince, your cultivation level cannot be too low!"

Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling Gu Yang to step down.

Just as he said, 100,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones would be enough for Gu Yang to break through to the Three Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Of course.

Even if he can't break through, it doesn't matter. Gu Qingfeng still has a lot of Great Dao Immortal Stones in his hands. Even if he piles them up, he can still raise Gu Yang's cultivation level.

only--

Breakthrough to the Celestial Venerable Realm.

It's not enough to just comprehend the Great Dao at a certain level; one also needs to cultivate oneself and accumulate sufficient foundation.

if not.

Even if one attracts the tribulation of immortality, it will ultimately be difficult to truly overcome the tribulation.

Regardless of the circumstances, Gu Qingfeng considered improving Gu Yang's cultivation level to be the top priority.

As his firstborn son, Gu Yang also benefited the most from his breakthrough in cultivation.

If one can obtain rewards that can directly enable one to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, then one can certainly improve one's strength.

In addition-

As the eldest son of the legitimate wife.

Gu Yang holds a different position in Gu Qingfeng's heart.

From any perspective, improving Gu Yang's cultivation level is what Gu Qingfeng wants to see.

then.

Gu Qingfeng then sent Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu over.

Like Gu Yang.

He bestowed upon each of them 100,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones for their cultivation and comprehension.

Given that the two of them were only at the initial stage of the Heavenly Venerable Realm, such a Great Dao Immortal Stone was naturally an unparalleled opportunity.

If.

If 100,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones cannot guarantee that a Second Tribulation Celestial Venerable will break through to the Third Tribulation level, then breaking through to the Second Tribulation Celestial Venerable will be absolutely no problem.

after all.

Even low-grade Dao Immortal Stones contain the Daoist essence of a Great Celestial Venerable.

Such Taoist charm.

For the newly ascended Celestial Venerable, this is an extraordinary opportunity that defies the heavens.

Such high-level Dao Immortal Stones are extremely difficult for ordinary Heavenly Venerables to obtain. Now that Gu Qingfeng has directly bestowed 100,000 of them, Gu Xuan and the other person are naturally overjoyed.

"Thank you, Father!"

Both of them accepted the Great Dao Immortal Stones and then retreated with joy on their faces.

With this batch of Great Dao Immortal Stones, they have enough confidence to break through to the next realm.

Although the second tribulation was terrifying, Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu were confident that they could successfully overcome it.

At most, it just means more time has passed.

However, compared to normal cultivation, with 100,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones as support, the time to break through to the Second Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm can be shortened by at least dozens of times.

Followed by.

Gu Qingfeng then summoned other members of the Gu family and bestowed upon each of them a portion of the Great Dao Immortal Stones.

Although the number of Great Dao Immortal Stones bestowed was not as many as those given to Gu Yang and others, it was more than enough for these Gu family descendants who were at the First Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm.

For a while.

1,360,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones.

Gu Qingfeng bestowed 860,000 in one go, leaving him with only 500,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones.

The reason for leaving 500,000 is that these Great Dao Immortal Stones cannot all be given to the Gu family members; other meritorious officials also need them.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then went into seclusion to cultivate.

With thirteen thousand high-grade Dao Immortal Stones in hand, all he had to do was refine them all and further advance his mastery of the Dao.

As Gu Qingfeng's divine sense entered the Great Dao Immortal Stone, a powerful and terrifying Dao aura suddenly erupted.

It seemed as if a long river to heaven reflected the world, and one's own divine sense fell into it to observe this supreme Dao. The obscurity of comprehending the Dao River in the past disappeared at this moment.

All insights become easy to understand.

If.

One must personally comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth, and face the obscure and difficult-to-understand language of the great river of knowledge.

Therefore, comprehending the power of the Great Dao within the Immortal Stone is equivalent to someone deciphering these obscure and difficult Great Daos bit by bit and then feeding them to you.

This way.

The difficulty of comprehending the Great Dao has naturally been reduced to the extreme.

In such a situation.

Gu Qingfeng's comprehension of the Great Dao Immortal Stone was as if he had divine assistance.

Even the most obscure and elusive Dao of Time became much easier to grasp under the impact of the Daoist aura of the Nine Tribulations Celestial Venerable.

As the saying goes.

One method is universal and all methods are universal.

Although the Daoist essence within these Dao Immortal Stones is not the Dao of Time, the profound mysteries of the Nine Great Daos within them still gave Gu Qingfeng many insights.

In comparison with such great principles, understanding the great principle of time becomes much easier.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

A mysterious Daoist aura suddenly emerged from Gu Qingfeng's body, and the flow of time around him seemed to abruptly stop.

That moment.

Gu Qingfeng felt as if his divine sense had undergone an astonishing transformation, and everything he perceived with his divine sense seemed to freeze.

But this feeling comes quickly and disappears just as quickly.

In less than a moment, the scene that seemed frozen was instantly restored to its original state, and everything that Gu Qingfeng perceived with his divine sense became exactly the same as before.

"This is the power of the Great Dao of Time!"

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the attribute panel.

as predicted.

The Great Dao of Time has broken through to the third level.

Gu Qingfeng understood what had just happened.

The power of the Great Dao of Time is unleashed, slowing down time around it by a hundredfold, bringing it almost to a state of stillness, yet the user remains unaffected by this power.

If such power is unleashed when facing an enemy, it can completely turn the tide of battle at crucial moments.

but.

Gu Qingfeng understood as well.

Such methods of manipulating the flow of time are extremely resource-intensive.

The closer the flow of time is to stillness, the more power is required, and vice versa.

Simultaneously.

The stronger the target, the higher the cost will be, and vice versa.

Just like before.

Gu Qingfeng caused time in the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm to freeze almost instantly. In less than a moment, he felt his divine sense becoming exhausted.

visible.

The power to manipulate time must be incredibly expensive.

But the same thing.

The power of time is also considerable.

In a battle between the strong, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment.

Even a change of a single breath can alter the course of a battle.

"However, the triple Time Dao is estimated to only be able to affect a fourth-level Heavenly Venerable at most. Even if the power of Dao fusion is used to raise the Time Dao, it will be at most able to affect a seventh-level Heavenly Venerable."

If we're dealing with an Eighth or even Ninth Tribulation Celestial Venerable, relying solely on the Threefold Great Dao of Time is insufficient!

Gu Qingfeng pondered to himself.

After all.

The triple Time Dao is still too weak.

To truly unleash its potential, it needs to be upgraded to at least level five, or even level six.

In the past, Gu Qingfeng would not have been confident that he could improve the Great Dao of Time in a short period of time.

but now.

With the presence of the Great Dao Immortal Stone, things are different.

In addition-

If possible.

Gu Qingfeng is better able to make breakthroughs by focusing on areas for improvement.

but.

A breakthrough in three major paths.

It would take at least three thousand years to accumulate.

But this time, Gu Qingfeng calculated the time it took to break through from the second level to the third level, and it only took less than ten years.

This also shows just how amazing the effect of high-grade Dao Immortal Stones is on low-level Daos.

Immediately.

Gu Qingfeng then continued his seclusion.

He had already made up his mind.

Thirteen thousand high-grade Dao Immortal Stones were all piled onto the Dao of Time, Mina, to see just how high this Dao of Time could be raised.

……

The first hundred years!

The Great Dao of Time has been upgraded to the middle stage of the third level!

The fifth hundred years!

The Great Dao of Time has been upgraded to the third level!

The 1300th year!

The Great Dao of Time has been elevated to the third level of perfection!

……

The fifth millennium.

The Great Dao of Time has been upgraded to the fourth initial stage!

……

The 18,000th year.

The Great Dao of Time has been upgraded to the middle stage of the fourth level!

……

The 20,000th year.

With the power of the last Dao Immortal Stone exhausted, Gu Qingfeng ended his seclusion.

……

Name: Gu Qingfeng
Age: Immortality

Realm: Six Tribulation Celestial Venerable

The Great Dao: The Great Dao of Annihilation (Fifth Level Perfection), The Great Dao of the Underworld (Sixth Level Perfection), The Great Dao of Frost (Fifth Level Perfection), The Great Dao of Time (Fourth Level Intermediate Stage)
Improvement Points: 113652299871
……

"Comprehending the Great Dao of Time is indeed much more difficult than other Great Daos. Thirteen thousand high-grade Great Dao Immortal Stones and a full twenty thousand years were used, but it still couldn't break through to the fourth level of the Great Dao!"

Shen Chang glanced at his attribute panel and shook his head slightly.

If the fourth level of the Great Dao of Time is already this difficult, then the fifth or even sixth level would be even more challenging.

but.

It has been in seclusion for 20,000 years.

Gu Qingfeng's upgrade points have once again broken through the 100 billion mark.

Immediately.

Gu Qingfeng had an idea.

The 20 billion upgrade points consumed directly raised the Dao of Time from the middle stage of the fourth level to the perfect stage of the fourth level in one go.

The reason for not breaking through to the fifth level is that starting from the fifth level, it requires 100 billion upgrade points.

Two hundred billion was spent.

Gu Qingfeng currently only has a little over 90 billion upgrade points. To break through 100 billion and raise the Dao of Time to the fifth level, he would need at least several thousand years of accumulation. (End of Chapter)
