My son is about to break through.

"Immortal Emperor Xuantian, I have long heard of your name, and seeing you today, I can see you are indeed extraordinary!"

In a magnificent immortal palace within a celestial realm, as soon as Gu Qingfeng appeared, a cultivator spoke up.

Gu Qingfeng looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the person at a glance.

Taiyi Holy Lord!

A powerful being as ancient as the Lord of Chaos.

That moment.

In Gu Qingfeng's mind, all the information about the Taiyi Holy Lord had already appeared.

It turns out.

There is no false person under the great reputation.

Although the Taiyi Saint Lord in front of him did not exude any aura, Gu Qingfeng could still feel a faint pressure emanating from him.

This is a powerful figure.

A top-tier expert.

Even if the other party hasn't reached the Ninth Tribulation Realm, it seems they're not far off.

"I have long heard of the decree of the Holy Lord Taiyi."

Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly, then his gaze fell on the other cultivators.

Currently, there are many cultivators in the Immortal Palace, all of whom have at least reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and their cultivation level is at least at the Fourth Tribulation Realm.

Those below the fourth kalpa.

None of them are qualified to set foot in this place.

At the head of the main hall, two figures sat upright.

"This is the sect master of the Nine Profound Immortal Sect, the Nine Profound Heavenly Venerable, and the other is the lord of the Divine Mountain Holy Land!"

The Holy Master Taiyi began to introduce himself, and Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly. At the same time, both of them turned their gazes toward him.

Neither side spoke, but the moment their eyes met, a terrifying Daoist power suddenly erupted, causing most of the powerful figures in the hall to change their expressions.

Under such terrifying aura, even other Heavenly Venerables who had at least reached the Fourth Tribulation level felt immense pressure.

After a long time.

The Nine Heavens Venerable slowly spoke: "I have heard of the name of the Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor for a long time, and seeing him today, I am truly impressed by his extraordinary nature."

I heard that the Celestial Venerable Xuantian, at the Seventh Tribulation Realm, killed three Heavenly Lords of the Chaos Holy Land.

I initially thought it was just empty talk, but now it seems it's far from that!

In this sentence, the Nine Heavens Venerable's gaze toward Gu Qingfeng was no longer indifferent, but rather held a hint of kinship.

At the Celestial Venerable level, everyone is striving for immortality. So-called seniority and age are irrelevant; only strength matters.

In fact.

It's not just the Celestial Venerable Realm.

The same applies to other realms.

While the cultivation world may seem to have many realms, strictly speaking, there are only three.

Ants!

Fellow!

senior!

obviously.

In the eyes of the Nine Heavenly Venerables, Gu Qingfeng was already worthy of being called a fellow Daoist. Even if his strength was inferior to theirs, he was at least qualified to be on equal footing with them.

more importantly.

The latter was merely a Seventh Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable.

It is already incredible that the other party was able to break through to the Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable realm after ascending to the Immortal Realm for millions of years.

But rather.

This person's combat power is even more astonishing.

The Seven Tribulations Realm.

Reverse the Eight Tribulations!

Even when I was at the Seventh Tribulation, the Nine Profound Heavenly Venerable was not confident enough to achieve this level of strength.

After all, fighting beyond one's level, especially at the level of a Great Celestial Venerable, is extremely difficult.

About it.

The Holy Lord of the Divine Mountain also softened his expression slightly.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuantian!"

"You two are welcome."

Gu Qingfeng returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

He knew very well that this change was because his strength had been recognized by the other party.

That seemingly simple glance was actually the beginning of a covert exchange between the two sides.

obviously.

Whether it's the Nine Heavenly Venerable or the Holy Lord of the Divine Mountain, their strength has reached the level of half-step Nine Tribulations, and they are not weaker than the Holy Lord of Taiyi or the Holy Lord of Chaos who is in seclusion trying to break through to the Nine Tribulations realm.

at this time.

The other cultivators also hurriedly offered their greetings.

"Greetings, Celestial Emperor Xuantian!"

They would naturally not dare to be disrespectful to someone who could gain the recognition of three top experts.

not to mention.

They had all heard of Gu Qingfeng's reputation before.

However, since the Nine Heavenly Venerables and the Holy Lord of the Divine Mountain did not speak, the other cultivators did not dare to act rashly.

the other side.

When Shan Hai Tianzun saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

have to say.

The height at which this Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor stood was already high enough for him to look up to.

Both are Great Heavenly Venerables of the Seventh Tribulation.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides is not ordinary.

When Gu Qingfeng fought the two powerful figures from a distance, the fluctuations in his aura caused Shan Hai Tianzun to feel immense pressure.

Even a mere wisp of aura is enough to cause such a stir; if they were to truly engage in combat, the Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas would not be confident of defeating anyone.

Do not--

It's not just about confrontation.

Whether there is any room for retaliation is a question.

Just like now.

Gu Qingfeng was already able to sit on equal footing with powerful figures like Taiyi Saint Lord and Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable, while I could only occupy a subordinate position—that was the difference.

but.

Thinking about the relationship between the Sacred Land of Mountains and Seas and the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

The Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas was relieved.

With Gu Xianlin's involvement, the relationship between the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty and the Mountain and Sea Holy Land is even closer than that between the Mountain and Sea Holy Land and the Ziwei Immortal Court.

The stronger the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, the greater the benefits to the Mountain and Sea Holy Land.

now.

With the arrival of Gu Qingfeng.

The previously noisy scene has quieted down.

The Holy Lord Taiyi looked at everyone and immediately said, "I believe it goes without saying that your purpose in coming here is to destroy the Chaos Holy Land."

The reason I have gathered you all here today is to discuss specific strategies for dealing with the Chaos Holy Land.

After all, the Chaos Holy Land possesses a profound foundation and has even produced immortals in the past, making it unmatched by ordinary top-tier forces.

Upon hearing the words of the Holy Lord Taiyi, the other cultivators nodded in deep agreement.

Both are top-tier forces.

The Chaos Holy Land possesses an immortal foundation.

Just this one point.

It was destined to be unmatched by any other force.

after all.

The word "immortal".

It is like an unshakeable mountain.

but.

When the Taiyi Saint Lord said these words, many cultivators instinctively looked in the direction where Gu Qingfeng was.

Rumors from outside.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty also possesses an immortal foundation.

Regarding whether this statement is true or false, most cultivators tend to believe the latter.

The reason is simple.

If the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty did not have an immortal foundation, this Xuantian Immortal Emperor would not have been able to break through to the Seven Tribulations Realm so quickly, let alone defeat the Eight Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

Even for ordinary immortal rebirths, it would be difficult to achieve this.

visible.

The other party must possess an immortal opportunity, and it's definitely not an ordinary one. Noticing the gazes of many cultivators, Gu Qingfeng remained calm.

"The Chaos Saint Lord is currently breaking through to the Ninth Tribulation Realm. We do not know when he will be able to break through and prove his Dao."

However, given the current situation, every further delay increases the risk.

If we wait until the Chaos Saint Lord breaks through to the Ninth Tribulation before using that half-step Immortal Artifact from the Chaos Holy Land, I believe that even if we exert all our strength, we will likely find it difficult to contend with him.

This sentence.

This caused the other cultivators to look grave.

A near-immortal artifact!

Even if they had never actually seen such treasures, they had certainly heard of them.

"so--"

"I believe this matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"At present, the Chaos Holy Land is consolidating all its strength to defend the Chaos Immortal Realm, and its purpose is obvious."

The enemy is fighting a desperate battle, a cornered beast's struggle. No matter how we discuss our strategies, we will ultimately find it difficult to avoid a direct confrontation.

Speaking of which.

Gu Qingfeng paused.

"Therefore, in my opinion, our four forces should join forces and suppress the eighteen Heavenly Monarchs and the three Great Emperors with overwhelming force, forcing that Chaos Saint Lord to emerge from seclusion."

As for other forces, their main focus is on dealing with the remaining cultivators of the Chaos Holy Land.

This battle requires sealing off the entire Chaos Immortal Realm, ensuring that no cultivator from the Chaos Holy Land leaves alive.

After all, the principle of eliminating the root of the problem is something I believe everyone understands!

"Fellow Daoist Xuantian is absolutely right!"

The Nine Heavenly Venerables also nodded.

"In this battle, we must eradicate the Chaos Holy Land completely and leave no future troubles."

Otherwise, it will become our own trouble in the future.

As he finished speaking.

The Holy Lord of the Divine Mountain also spoke, but the meaning behind his words was not significantly different.

soon.

The agreement was then finalized by all parties.

Three days later, launch a full-scale attack on the Chaos Immortal Realm and be sure to annihilate the entire Chaos Holy Land.

This time we met.

Rather than discussing countermeasures, it was more like a meeting of various forces to get to know each other.

but.

Just as Gu Qingfeng returned to the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty camp, cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Holy Land came to visit.

"Greetings, Celestial Emperor Xuantian!"

"Father!"

Inside the Immortal Palace, the Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas and Gu Xianlin arrived together.

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist Shan Hai, please have a seat."

Subsequently.

He glanced at Gu Xianlin, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

In this regard.

The Holy Lord of Mountains and Seas also calmly took his seat.

After taking his seat, he looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked directly and bluntly.

"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, what are your thoughts on this battle?"

"The Chaos Holy Land will surely be destroyed in this battle. Unless that Chaos Holy Lord can break through the Nine Tribulations Realm, there is no way to save it. Even with the support of immortal foundations, it is impossible to turn the tide."

However, although the Chaos Holy Land has been destroyed, this battle will not end there.

Once the Chaos Holy Land is destroyed, a war will inevitably break out in the Chaos Immortal Realm. In my opinion, the Mountain and Sea Holy Land should not get involved in this war, lest it be caught in the crossfire.

Gu Qingfeng said calmly.

When the powerful figures from various forces met, none of them mentioned how the resources should be distributed after the destruction of the Chaos Holy Land.

obviously.

Both sides tacitly agreed not to bring up the matter.

No matter how the distribution is made, it will never be possible for every faction to have their way.

Therefore, it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that once the Chaos Holy Land is destroyed, the resources of such a top-tier power will inevitably attract competition from all sides.

that time.

The entire Chaos Immortal Realm will be plunged into chaos.

but.

From the beginning.

Gu Qingfeng had no intention of getting involved.

For him, rather than competing for the resources of the Chaos Holy Land, it would be better to take this opportunity to withdraw completely and quietly recuperate.

After all, what Gu Qingfeng lacks most right now is time.

Given enough time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly reach the Ninth Tribulation Realm, or even to witness the mysteries of immortality.

therefore.

Gu Qingfeng naturally couldn't get involved.

same.

He also didn't want the sacred land of mountains and seas to get involved.

Such wars have far-reaching consequences. Although the Mountain and Sea Holy Land is also quite powerful, if it were to get involved, it would be utterly destroyed.

Hear the words.

The Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist is right. This battle to destroy the Chaos Holy Land is just the beginning. The subsequent battles will only be more brutal."

Now it seems, fellow Daoist, you saw through this matter perfectly; I was merely overthinking it!

"Fellow Daoist is too kind. Our two forces are closely linked and will advance and retreat together. I am naturally delighted that you have come."

In the next battle, the Mountain and Sea Holy Land can plunder as many resources as possible in the Chaos Immortal Realm. They only need to evacuate the Chaos Immortal Realm when the Chaos Holy Land is destroyed.

Furthermore, with so many forces involved in this battle, it was bound to end in mutual destruction.

Under these circumstances, it might not be a bad opportunity for the Sacred Land of Mountains and Seas.

this sentence.

After Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, he gave Shan Hai Tianzun a deep look. The latter understood the meaning behind his words, and the two smiled at each other.

Before leaving.

The Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas allowed Gu Xianlin to stay.

It's called a nice name.

Father and son have been separated for many years, and now it's time for them to have a proper reunion.

"Father!"

After the Celestial Venerable of Mountains and Seas left, Gu Xianlin took a deep breath, his expression showing a hint of excitement.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the young man in front of him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Indeed, you have grown considerably over the years and have not disgraced the Gu family's bloodline and reputation. Your mother is currently in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm and misses you very much."

If you have the chance, you should go back and take a look.

"My child understands!"

Gu Xianlin nodded.

Even without Gu Qingfeng's explanation, he also had the idea of ​​going back to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty to see his mother.

After all these years, it's impossible not to miss them at all.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then tested Gu Xianlin's current cultivation progress once again.

"Your foundation is solid in the First Tribulation Celestial Venerable Realm, but the breakthrough time was too short, so you were unable to step into the Second Tribulation Realm. But this is not a big problem."

There are 300,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones inside, which should be enough for you to break through to the Second Tribulation Realm in a short time!

With a flick of his finger, Gu Qingfeng sent a storage ring to Gu Xianlin.

The latter's divine sense entered it, and his mind was immediately shaken.

Three hundred thousand low-grade Dao Immortal Stones!
Such a quantity of resources naturally shocked him.

Gu Xianlin knew exactly what kind of treasure the Great Dao Immortal Stone was.

As the holy son of the sacred land of mountains and seas, Gu Xianlin actually received Dao Immortal Stones as part of his cultivation resources.

but--

Even as a holy son.

In about ten thousand years, he can only obtain about ten low-grade Dao Immortal Stones.

Three hundred thousand low-grade Dao Immortal Stones would take at least three hundred million years to accumulate in the Sacred Land of Mountains and Seas.

This is no joke.

After all, Immortal Stones of the Great Dao are extremely rare.

Even with the resources of the Mountain and Sea Holy Land, such cultivation resources are scarce.

Moreover, in such a vast sacred land of mountains and seas, he is not the only one. With so many cultivation resources distributed among them, how much will ultimately fall into his lap?
and so.

Gu Qingfeng's act of producing 300,000 low-grade Dao Immortal Stones in one go naturally left Gu Xianlin in disbelief. (End of Chapter)
