My son is about to break through.

"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has deepened his understanding of the Great Dao through studying the low-grade Great Dao Immortal Stone, resulting in a slight increase in his strength!"

"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has deepened his understanding of the Great Dao through studying the low-grade Great Dao Immortal Stone, resulting in a slight increase in his strength!"

"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has deepened his understanding of the Great Dao through studying the low-grade Great Dao Immortal Stone, resulting in a significant increase in his strength!"

"Reward Boost Points * 30000000!"

"Reward: 100 Great Dao Immortal Pills!"

"Your offspring, Gu Xuan, has deepened his understanding of the Great Dao through comprehending the low-grade Great Dao Immortal Stone, resulting in a significant increase in his strength!"

"Your offspring..."

"Your offspring, Gu Xuan, has broken through to the middle stage of the First Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm!"

"Reward Boost Points * 1000000!"

"Your offspring, Gu Xiu, has broken through to the middle stage of the First Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm!"

"Reward Boost Points * 1000000!"

"Your descendant, Gu Chenshan, failed to transcend the tribulation of immortality and perished in the heavenly tribulation!"

"Your offspring, Gu Fenghao, left the Ancient City of Life, attracting the Divine Tribulation of Immortality, and successfully broke through to the First Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm!"

"Reward Boost Points * 1000000!"

"Your offspring..."

……

Over the course of 20,000 years, the Gu family has undergone considerable changes.

Gu Yang and the others benefited from the help of the Great Dao Immortal Stone, and all of them made further progress on their original basis.

Although it didn't break through the shackles of the higher realm directly, it was still a breakthrough nonetheless.

Apart from that.

The Gu family then produced another immortal.

"Gu Fenghao!"

A figure appeared in Gu Qingfeng's mind. Millions of years had made his past memories somewhat blurry.

Many unnecessary memories are temporarily sealed away deep within the sea of ​​consciousness. Now, when recalling them, that figure naturally becomes much clearer.

"Speaking of which, there are not many of the fourth generation of the Gu family left. Those who are alive either attained immortality early on, are sleeping in the Ancient City of Life, or have already perished."

Unexpectedly, this young man has risen from adversity and taken this crucial step!

Gu Qingfeng was also quite surprised by Gu Fenghao's breakthrough.

Although entering the Ancient City of Life is merely to preserve a chance, perhaps when the time is right, one can emerge from the world and attain immortality.

But actually.

This chance is slim, and not everyone can seize it.

To put it bluntly, entering the Ancient City of Life basically cuts off one's path to advancement.

They were only able to survive by using the ancient city of life to conceal the secrets of heaven.

This is why many cultivators would rather fight to the death than enter the Ancient City of Life and wait for the so-called opportunity.

It's possible that even after hundreds of millions of years, we might not be able to wait for that so-called opportune moment to arrive.

of course.

More monks.

I would still rather enter the ancient city of life.

After all, we're alive.

Only then is there hope.

If one perishes, then all will be in vain.

Therefore, Gu Qingfeng was naturally surprised by Gu Fenghao's breakthrough.

Subsequently.

He then left the pass.

"Father!"

The moment Gu Qingfeng emerged from seclusion, Gu Yang, who was in charge of handling government affairs, received the news and immediately came to pay his respects.

Gu Qingfeng said, "During my seclusion this time, I sensed changes in my bloodline. It seems that another cultivator from the Gu family has reached the pinnacle of immortality?"

"Six thousand years ago, Gu Fenghao, the fourth generation of the Gu family, emerged from the Ancient City of Life, survived the Tribulation of Immortality, and reached the realm of Heavenly Venerable!"

Gu Yang had no doubts and told the truth.

Gu Yang considered it perfectly normal that Gu Qingfeng, while in seclusion, was aware of the changes in the Gu family.

Reaching the level of a Celestial Venerable means one can no longer be measured by mortal standards.

not to mention.

This is because we share the same bloodline.

Not to mention Gu Qingfeng, even Gu Yang himself could feel the change in his bloodline when Gu Fenghao broke through.

If a descendant reaches the Heavenly Venerable Realm, even if they cannot benefit themselves in return, they can at least establish some connection.

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "Being able to break through the Great Emperor's shackles and reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm even after entering the Ancient City of Life shows that this child has both excellent talent and opportunities."

"This child was originally a prodigy of the Gu family, but the later Dharma-ending Age in the lower realm made it difficult for him to advance. After reaching the Great Emperor realm, he had little lifespan left, so he had to temporarily enter the Ancient City of Life to wait for an opportunity."

If not for the limitations of the Dharma-ending Age, he would likely have already reached this realm!

Gu Yang said with a smile.

Today, all the descendants of the Gu family are from his lineage, so Gu Yang is naturally proud of the achievements of his descendants.

The younger generation is outstanding, and he, as the ancestor, feels quite proud.

Now that Gu Qingfeng had asked, Gu Yang naturally didn't hesitate to say a few good words for Gu Fenghao.

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "Let him go to the palace."

"My son, take your orders!"

Gu Yang immediately cupped his hands in response.

Less than half a day.

Gu Fenghao then entered the palace.

"Grandson Gu Fenghao pays respects to the Ancestor!"

As a fourth-generation descendant of the Gu family, and given Gu Qingfeng's current status, no form of address would be appropriate; calling him "Ancestor" would be the most reasonable approach.

Gu Qingfeng looked down at the person below. The young man of yesteryear had matured and become much more composed. He exuded a powerful aura, clearly displaying the demeanor of a strong figure.

"I have heard that you have now broken through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Having learned of this news, I wish to see you!"

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Gu Fenghao lowered his head and remained silent.

at this time.

Gu Qingfeng changed the subject and said, "Entering the Ancient City of Life is almost like cutting off the path to immortality. Your ability to break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm from adversity shows your exceptional talent and does not disgrace the Gu family's bloodline and reputation."

Now that you are on the path to immortality, I bestow upon you this opportunity, hoping you can go further in the Heavenly Venerable Realm and one day serve the Gu family and the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty!

The words fell.

Gu Qingfeng flicked his finger.

Then a storage ring landed in front of Gu Fenghao.

What's inside is 50,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones.

Having already distributed the remaining low-grade Dao Immortal Stones to various parties, Gu Qingfeng had few left. Upon seeing Gu Fenghao, he bestowed them all upon him.

After all, as a fourth-generation descendant of the Gu family, he had a rather close relationship with Gu Qingfeng.

In addition, millions of years have passed, and the Gu family has gone through countless generations. Most of the first few generations of Gu family descendants either perished or entered the Ancient City of Life.

To this day, only a handful of the Gu family's descendants are still alive and well.

therefore.

Gu Qingfeng was naturally generous and bestowed some opportunities upon Gu Fenghao.

He also wanted this descendant to go further in life.

Upon hearing this, the latter looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor. I will do my utmost for the Gu family and the Immortal Dynasty!"

"Go down and cultivate diligently. The Heavenly Venerable Realm is merely a longevity realm. Although you have already reached the pinnacle of longevity, in the face of truly top-tier experts, such cultivation is still nothing."

But with an infinite lifespan, you have infinite opportunities.

You carry the blood of the Gu family, and the people of the Gu family are destined for greatness. I hope you will not disappoint me! "Grandson understands!"

Gu Fenghao said seriously.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng waved for the other party to step back.

I want to meet Gu Fenghao.

This fulfilled some of my wishes.

It turns out.

The fact that the other party was able to break through the limitations of the Ancient City of Life and achieve immortality in adversity shows that they do indeed have some profound knowledge and skills.

Gu Qingfeng could tell from Gu Fenghao that his foundation was solid. Even though he had only broken through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm a few thousand years ago, his cultivation level was not superficial at all.

Compared to some newly ascended Celestial Venerables who have broken through tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, they are not inferior in the slightest.

……

the other side.

Gu Fenghao left.

When he returned to his immortal abode, he took out the storage ring given to him by Gu Qingfeng, and his divine sense entered it. His face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"This is... a Great Dao Immortal Stone!?"

Gu Fenghao stared at the tens of thousands of immortal stones filled with profound and mysterious Daoist charm, his breathing slowed by half a beat.

These are immortal stones.

He was also fortunate enough to receive a small amount.

When he broke through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, Gu Yang bestowed upon him a hundred Great Dao Immortal Stones to consolidate his cultivation foundation.

Gu Fenghao was well aware of the wondrous uses of the Great Dao Immortal Stone.

It was with those hundred low-grade Dao Immortal Stones that he was able to consolidate his Heavenly Venerable cultivation in just a few thousand years, a progress that was no less than that of some newly promoted Heavenly Venerables who had broken through tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Unfortunately.

The hundred Immortal Stones of the Great Dao have long been used up.

Gu Fenghao understood that such a treasure was not easy to find, so he had no choice but to suppress his idea of ​​finding other Great Dao Immortal Stones.

Unexpectedly.

Such rare treasures.

Now, Gu Qingfeng has given away 50,000 yuan in one go.

Fifty thousand yuan of low-grade Dao Immortal Stone!
What a concept this is.

With this batch of Great Dao Immortal Stones, Gu Fenghao is confident that he can break through to the Second Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm within a million years.

Even if one cannot break through the second tribulation level and reach the peak of the first tribulation, it is absolutely no problem.

This way.

Among all the Celestial Venerables, his strength is certainly not at the bottom.

Despite the large number of Celestial Venerables in the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, the actual number of Celestial Venerables who can truly reach the Second Tribulation level has decreased significantly.

The realm of the Celestial Venerable.

Most of them stop at the first tribulation level.

no way.

The Heavenly Venerable Realm is extremely difficult to cultivate.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has only been established for less than five million years. Even though many Heavenly Venerables have emerged, most of them are newly promoted Heavenly Venerables, and how many can advance further?

Now, thanks to the opportunity presented by the Great Dao Immortal Stone, Gu Fenghao is fully confident that he can catch up and surpass others.

Think of this.

He felt increasingly grateful and respectful towards Gu Qingfeng.

Although this ancestor was usually elusive and rarely seen, he valued his descendants very much.

otherwise.

The other party wouldn't directly bestow such an opportunity.

Immediately.

Gu Fenghao then went into seclusion.

Just as Gu Qingfeng said, breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm is only a new starting point. In front of ordinary cultivators, Heavenly Venerables are high and mighty, but in front of those top experts, ordinary Heavenly Venerables are just that.

Now that he has a large number of Great Dao Immortal Stones in hand, Gu Fenghao naturally won't waste any extra time. He can put everything else aside and focus on improving his own cultivation first.

……

In the Shuoyang Immortal Realm, within an immortal abode, Luo Tian, ​​who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, only to find a figure appearing before him without him noticing.

He was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects. I was unaware of Your Majesty's presence and have failed to greet you properly. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Seeing the other person's expression, Gu Qingfeng was speechless: "Alright, there's no need for such formalities in front of me. Let me ask you, what's the situation at the Great Dao Immortal Mine now?"

Hear the words.

Luo Tian then straightened up and respectfully said, "For the past 20,000 years, I have devoted myself to mining the Great Dao Immortal Mine. To date, I have obtained 100,000 high-grade Great Dao Immortal Stones, 530,000 mid-grade Great Dao Immortal Stones, and 1,620,000 low-grade Great Dao Immortal Stones!"

In this regard.

Gu Qingfeng nodded.

The immortal stones mined from the superior Dao Immortal Mine are not all of superior quality; many are of medium or low quality.

These other types of Dao Dao Immortal Stones account for the majority of the total amount of Immortal Stones in the Immortal Mine.

Even so, the importance of top-grade Dao Immortal Mine is self-evident.

After all, even setting aside the top-grade Dao Immortal Stones, mid-grade and low-grade Dao Immortal Stones are extremely important strategic resources for any force.

Even the lowest grade of low-grade Dao Immortal Stone is a rare treasure for a Heavenly Venerable below the sixth tribulation.

Like now.

If all of the more than one million low-grade Dao Immortal Stones mined over 20,000 years were used on the Great Emperor, they could give birth to at least fifty or sixty Heavenly Venerables who have reached the pinnacle of immortality.

Of course.

These newly promoted Celestial Venerables are almost at the bottom of the Celestial Venerable realm in terms of strength.

For ordinary forces, fifty or sixty Eternal Celestial Venerables are enough to intimidate, but for truly top-tier forces, what difference is there between fifty or sixty First Tribulation Celestial Venerables and cannon fodder?

The only difference is that these cannon fodder are slightly stronger.

Rather than creating fifty or sixty new Heavenly Venerables, it would be better to produce a number of second-tier or even third-tier Heavenly Venerables in one go.

Do it.

While the quantity may not be impressive, the quality is by no means lacking.

This.

It's merely the effect of a low-grade Dao Immortal Stone.

Other mid-grade and high-grade Dao Immortal Stones need not be mentioned further.

"In just 20,000 years, they have been able to mine so many Great Dao Immortal Stones. No wonder the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is willing to pay any price to occupy the Shuoyang Immortal Domain."

With such a Great Dao Immortal Mine, given more time, the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect's strength could increase at least several times over!

Gu Qingfeng looked emotional.

Putting everything else aside, as long as that Xuanzhen Heavenly Venerable breaks through the Six Tribulations barrier and enters the Seven Tribulations to advance to the ranks of Great Heavenly Venerable, it will be enough to greatly increase the strength of the entire Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

But a pity.

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect encountered the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, and the latter's plans were destined to fail.

Of course.

In other words, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty discovered the secret of the Shuoyang Immortal Realm.

otherwise.

They might actually succeed.

But what's done is done, and there's no going back.

Now that this Great Dao Immortal Mine is in the hands of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, that is enough.

As long as he seizes the opportunity of this Great Dao Immortal Mine, Gu Qingfeng is confident that he can multiply the strength of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty several times over in a short period of time.

At that time, even when facing the Chaos Holy Land, we would have more confidence and assurance. (End of Chapter)
