My son is about to break through.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then personally went to the location of the Great Dao Immortal Mine.

Now within the Fairy Mine.

Many cultivators from the Shuoyang Immortal Realm mine immortal mines here.

When they saw Gu Qingfeng arrive, these cultivators all showed expressions of awe and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face.

Gu Qingfeng's divine sense covered the entire Great Dao Immortal Mine, and the terrifying pressure remaining within it made him feel immense pressure.

"The Nine Tribulations Celestial Venerable is indeed extraordinary!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression was solemn.

Even if such powerful individuals perish, the Daoist aura they leave behind remains terrifyingly powerful.

Such a powerful and awe-inspiring Daoist aura.

This shows just how terrifying his strength was during his lifetime.

all the time.

Gu Qingfeng believed that with his current abilities and resources, if he were to fight with all his might, he wouldn't be far behind even if he wasn't as good as the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable.

But until now.

Only when he truly sensed the residual Daoist aura of the superior-grade Dao Immortal Mine did he realize that a powerhouse of this level was incomparable to an ordinary Great Celestial Venerable.

The Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Venerable.

It becomes more powerful as time goes on.

In Gu Qingfeng's view, there is a striking dividing line between the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable and other Heavenly Venerables.

As the final realm of the Celestial Venerable, such beings are only a hair's breadth away from immortality.

Ordinary monks.

Perhaps they cannot comprehend the terrifying power of such a strong person.

But things are different when it comes to Gu Qingfeng's level.

Say it in one sentence.

To see the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Ninth Tribulation without entering the Seventh Tribulation is like looking at the sun and moon from the bottom of a well!
Having entered the Seventh Tribulation and seen the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Ninth Tribulation, it is like a mayfly peering at the blue sky!

Although Gu Qingfeng did not truly reach the Seventh Tribulation level, his strength was greater than that of a normal Seventh Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, and was comparable to the Eighth Tribulation level.

and so.

He could naturally understand how terrifying the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable was.

Even if I were to truly reach the seventh tribulation, it would be difficult to rival a powerhouse at this level.

Luo Tian, ​​standing behind Gu Qingfeng, felt little emotion.

From Luo Tian's perspective, whether it's a top-grade Dao Immortal Mine or facing Gu Qingfeng, there's only one feeling.

That is—unfathomable!
To be honest, it's beyond Luo Tian's understanding to determine who is stronger.

and so.

Luo Tian naturally didn't have the same profound understanding of the terrifying nature of this Great Dao Immortal Mine as Gu Qingfeng.

the other side.

Gu Qingfeng's divine sense covered the entire Great Dao Immortal Mine, and he took in the entire scene inside the mine.

This Great Dao Immortal Mine has existed in the Shuoyang Immortal Domain for many years. The Evil God Clan has been mining it for an unknown period of time, and as of now, the remaining reserves of immortal stones in this Great Dao Immortal Mine are not many.

According to Gu Qingfeng, at most another one or two hundred thousand years of mining would be enough.

"No wonder the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom has grown so powerful, possessing 300,000 Immortal Domains under its command. With such a high-grade Great Dao Immortal Mine as its foundation, it is destined to be unmatched by ordinary forces."

The Blood Shadow God Lord's cultivation had already reached the eighth tribulation level, and he had cultivated to an extremely profound level.

Even if the other party has not reached the peak of the Eight Tribulations, they are at least at the late stage of the Eight Tribulations.

It seems now.

The fact that the other party was able to get to this point is also inextricably linked to the Great Dao Immortal Mine in front of them.

If it weren't for the Great Dao Immortal Mine, the other party would hardly have reached this point.

but.

After the eighth kalpa.

The effectiveness of top-grade Dao Immortal Stones has also been greatly reduced.

This is the fundamental reason why the opponent has never been able to break through to the Ninth Tribulation.

After all, even the highest-grade Dao Immortal Mine is merely a legacy of a Ninth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable's transformation into the Dao. It is already quite extraordinary that it can enable a Seventh Tribulation Heavenly Venerable to advance to the Eighth Tribulation.

The effects of relying solely on high-grade Dao Immortal Stones are extremely limited for subsequent eight tribulations of cultivation, and even for attempting to break through to the ninth tribulation.

Compare.

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, on the other hand, appears to be far more useless.

The latter was the first force to possess the Great Dao Immortal Mine, but it failed to hold onto this opportunity, allowing it to fall into the hands of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom.

In addition-

News of the Immortal Mine of the Great Dao in Shuoyang Immortal Realm has never spread.

In Gu Qingfeng's view, there was also the factor that the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect deliberately concealed the information, fearing that the Great Dao Immortal Mine would be divided up by other forces.

Even though this Great Dao Immortal Mine has fallen into the hands of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect still holds a glimmer of hope that it will be able to reclaim the Great Dao Immortal Mine in the future.

If this news gets out, and more forces try to seize the Great Dao Immortal Mine, then the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect will no longer have the possibility of monopolizing this immortal mine.

Gu Qingfeng naturally disdained such thoughts.

If the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect had not been greedy for this opportunity and had announced the news of the Great Dao Immortal Mine earlier, the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom would not have been able to grow to this extent.

It can be said.

The rise of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom.

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect also deserves much credit.

The most ridiculous thing is.

When this Great Dao Immortal Mine was in the hands of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect dared not act rashly. However, after the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty destroyed the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom, the latter immediately made a move to seize it.

Such behavior is utterly despicable.

This is why Gu Qingfeng was willing to destroy the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

Regarding this sect.

Gu Qingfeng didn't think much of it; he only felt disgust.

If it were any other human power, he might not have gone to such lengths to exterminate them.

"Are all these mine slaves cultivators from the Shuoyang Immortal Realm?"

Gu Qingfeng asked.

Luo Tian nodded: "These mining slaves originally served the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom. Later, after the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect occupied the Shuoyang Immortal Domain, they forcibly recruited many cultivators to come here in order to speed up the mining of immortal mines."

Currently, the entire Great Dao Immortal Mine has a total of 100,000 mining slaves extracting immortal ore, and the lowest cultivation level among them is at the Quasi-Emperor level!

One hundred thousand cultivators!

Even the weakest among them are quasi-emperors!
If this were in the lower realm, it would naturally be a shocking thing.

After all, in the lower realm, any quasi-emperor can establish a top-tier power that can be passed down for thousands of years.

Such things exist.

Regardless of the era, they are among the top experts.

Even in an era when a great emperor emerges and his might overwhelms the chaos, a quasi-emperor is still not to be underestimated.

Such a strong person.

It takes tens of thousands of years for even one Venerable to emerge from the lower realm.

However, in the Immortal Realm, so-called quasi-emperors are merely mining slaves.

Even the greatest emperors are no exception.

but.

These thoughts only flashed through Gu Qingfeng's mind.

If Gu Qingfeng had just entered the Immortal Realm, he might have been somewhat shocked by this.

But now, after cultivating for millions of years, he has seen far too many powerful figures. Let alone mere Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors, even some Heavenly Venerables are no different from ants in his eyes.

and so.

Quasi-Emperor Mining Slaves.

It's nothing to be surprised about.

and so.

Gu Qingfeng then said, "Since these cultivators are already mine slaves, they shall continue to be in charge of the mining of the Great Dao Immortal Mine."

However, since the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty currently governs the Shuoyang Immortal Domain, these cultivators are considered subjects of the Immortal Dynasty, so they cannot be treated too harshly.

All miners who mine for immortal stones will be given certain treatment; how to measure and define these standards is your responsibility.

"In addition, let's see if there are any promising talents among them. If they have the potential to reach the Heavenly Venerable level, we can focus on nurturing them."

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty now commands numerous immortal domains, and after 20,000 years, the number of its immortal domains has exceeded 10,000.

Ten thousand immortal realms!
For a celestial dynasty that had only been established for millions of years, this was an unimaginably vast territory.

Even though the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty has frequently held immortal examinations over the years to select talents from various immortal realms and appoint them to govern these realms, the sheer number of immortal realms means that there are still many vacancies for immortal officials in each realm.

If the Shuoyang Immortal Realm has any talented individuals, Gu Qingfeng would not hesitate to cultivate them.

After all, with the current resources of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, cultivating some cultivators is not a problem at all.

In this regard.

Luo Tian readily accepted the order.

As for the other miners, upon hearing this, they all hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank the Emperor for his grace.

They originally thought that the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty was no different from the original Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, or even the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom.

Throughout his entire life, he had no chance of escaping this Great Dao Immortal Mine.

Never thought about it.

Gu Qingfeng was willing to grant such an opportunity.

This was naturally an unimaginable boon for these miners.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then said, "Furthermore, continue recruiting mining slaves. I intend to empty this Great Dao Immortal Mine within 30,000 years!"

The threat from the Chaos Holy Land remains. Although the other side has not made any move for 20,000 years, it is impossible to say when they might launch an attack.

The reason why the Chaos Holy Land is currently silent, in Gu Qingfeng's view, is because the news of the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has not yet fully reached them.

After all, the Chaos Holy Land is a top-tier power with an immortal foundation, and its number of immortal realms under its command is several times greater than that of the Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom.

Although the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is a powerful force, it is not considered particularly outstanding among the many forces under the Chaos Holy Land.

and so.

It's perfectly normal that the news of the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect hasn't yet reached the Chaos Holy Land.

But Gu Qingfeng was equally aware of this.

anyway.

The news of the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect and the seizure of the Great Dao Immortal Mine will always elicit a reaction from the Chaos Holy Land.

The problem lies in this.

It's just a matter of time.

Facing a power with an immortal foundation, Gu Qingfeng naturally wouldn't be careless.

therefore.

He wanted to improve himself and the foundation of the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty as much as possible before the Chaos Holy Land could react.

The current Great Dao Immortal Mine is an opportunity.

If Gu Qingfeng could mine this Great Dao Immortal Mine dry, he would obtain at least a million high-grade Great Dao Immortal Stones.

With this batch of Great Dao Immortal Stones, he was confident enough to break through to the Seventh Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm.

If he could break through to the Seventh Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, then Gu Qingfeng would not fear anyone below the Ninth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Even against the Chaos Saint Lord who had stepped into the Ninth Tribulation, Gu Qingfeng had the confidence to contend.

In addition-

Again.

The Chaos Holy Land possesses profound cultural heritage.

There could never be only one Chaos Saint Lord among the Eight Tribulation Celestial Venerables, or even the so-called Half-Step Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerables.

Faced with such a force, Gu Qingfeng certainly couldn't afford to be careless.

"I accept the decree!"

Luo Tian respectfully accepted the order.

then.

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the situation at the Great Dao Immortal Mine and then turned to leave.

Simultaneously.

He also took away all the Great Dao Immortal Stones that he had mined over the past 20,000 years.

Other low-grade or mid-grade Dao Immortal Stones are fine, but 100,000 high-grade Dao Immortal Stones are of great use to Gu Qingfeng.

Even if it doesn't allow one to break through to the Seventh Tribulation level, it may still enable breakthroughs in the other Great Daos.

Until now.

Apart from the Avenue to the Underworld.

Gu Qingfeng's remaining Great Daos, at their strongest, only reached the fifth level of perfection.

It will take quite some time to accumulate experience before one can fully reach the sixth level.

Having Immortal Stones of the Great Dao as cultivation resources can naturally solve these problems.

……

A month later.

Gu Qingfeng returned to the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

The first thing he did upon returning was to go into seclusion and cultivate.

One hundred thousand high-grade Dao Immortal Stones.

Gu Qingfeng naturally intended to convert all of it into his own strength.

This is the period of seclusion.

It took longer than the last time.

Thirty thousand years later.

Gu Qingfeng was the one who had just emerged from seclusion.

The reason for leaving seclusion this time was that he had run out of 100,000 high-grade Dao Immortal Stones.

However, the results are also extremely remarkable.

The Great Dao of Nirvana has broken through to the sixth level of perfection!

The Great Dao of Time has broken through to the fifth level of perfection!

This way.

Of the four Great Daos that Gu Qingfeng has mastered, two have reached the sixth level of perfection and two have reached the fifth level of perfection.

With breakthroughs in the Dao of Annihilation and the Dao of Time, Gu Qingfeng felt that his strength had improved significantly.

Just saying.

There is still a considerable gap between him and the Nine Tribulations Celestial Venerable.

After clearing customs.

Gu Qingfeng then summoned Luo Tian.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"How is the situation in the Shuoyang Immortal Realm?"

Gu Qingfeng asked the question directly.

Luo Tian said, "Your Majesty, as early as three thousand years ago, the Great Dao Immortal Mine in the Shuoyang Immortal Domain was completely mined out."

As a result, a total of 11.3 million low-grade immortal stones, 6.21 million mid-grade immortal stones, and 980,000 high-grade immortal stones were mined this time.

All the Great Dao Immortal Stones are stored here; Your Majesty, please take a look!

Done.

Luo Tian was already holding up a storage ring with both hands. Upon seeing this, Gu Qingfeng moved his divine sense, and the storage ring fell into his hands.

Subsequently.

He looked at the storage ring, and everything inside was now in sight.

“You did a great job!”

Gu Qingfeng had a satisfied smile on his face.

Although the Great Dao Immortal Mine has been completely mined out, the results are still gratifying.

The total amount of low-grade and mid-grade Dao Dao Immortal Stones combined is approximately 18 million.

With such a batch of Great Dao Immortal Stones, the strength of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is destined to increase greatly.

As for the top-grade Dao Immortal Stones, there are a full 980,000.

If we include the previous 100,000.

That's 1.08 million.

With such a large quantity of high-grade Dao Immortal Stones, Gu Qingfeng was confident enough to break through to the Seventh Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm.

After all, during his 30,000 years of seclusion, his understanding of the Yellow Springs Dao had already reached the seventh level.

However, it will take a considerable amount of time to truly break through this barrier and enter the seventh level.

Without other opportunities, it would take at least hundreds of millions of years for this to happen.

But things are different now.

He has 980,000 top-grade Dao Immortal Stones in hand.

Gu Qingfeng was already confident that he could break through to the Seventh Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm in a short period of time. (End of Chapter)
