My son is about to break through.

The sudden withdrawal of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty's army caught all forces off guard.

But only a few are truly strong.

Upon witnessing this scene, one immediately understands the intentions of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

obviously.

The other party's goal was simply to destroy the Chaos Holy Land; they had no intention of competing for other resources.

Figure this out.

Many powerful individuals secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty does not contend.

This naturally gives them more opportunities.

after all--

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is incredibly powerful. If they were to get involved, it would naturally become more difficult for other forces to seize resources.

but now.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty withdrew.

This undoubtedly gave other forces an opportunity.

the other side.

Taiyi Saint Lord and Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them suffered serious injuries after killing the Chaos Saint Lord.

If Gu Qingfeng were to make a move at this moment, to be honest, neither of them would be confident of defeating him.

For a moment.

The two even decided to secretly join forces and deal with the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty first.

However, before the two could make a move, the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty had already withdrawn, which relieved the two of them.

Subsequently.

The two exchanged a glance, each discerning subtle emotions in the other's eyes.

"Let's eliminate the remnants of the Chaos Holy Land first!"

The Holy Lord Taiyi spoke calmly.

The Nine Heavenly Venerable nodded: "Agreed!"

Immediately.

Then, a large number of forces, led by the Taiyi Holy Land and the Jiuxuan Immortal Sect, launched a final siege against the Chaos Holy Land.

The Lord of Chaos has fallen.

Although a considerable amount of power remains in the Chaos Holy Land.

However, both the True Martial Emperor and the Cold Sun Emperor, among other powerful figures, were severely injured. Faced with the siege of numerous forces, they were powerless to turn the tide.

soon.

As Emperor Hanyang fell, another emperor also perished.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhenwu Emperor risked serious injury to leave the battlefield.

Since then.

The Chaos Holy Land suffered a complete defeat.

News of the Chaos Holy Land's defeat quickly spread to all sides.

In an instant.

The endless immortal realm trembled.

Many forces were horrified when they learned of this news.

As a top-tier holy land with an immortal foundation, the Chaos Holy Land's strength is beyond doubt.

The news of the annihilation of such a force has naturally caused quite a stir.

at the same time.

The reputation of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty resounded throughout all the immortal realms.

The Battle of the Chaotic Immortal Realm.

Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor Gu Qingfeng broke through the Zhou Tian Micro Dust Array, joined forces with Taiyi Saint Lord and others to kill Chaos Saint Lord, and then retreated unscathed.

more importantly.

The opponent was merely a Seventh Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable.

To perform the tasks of a nine-kalpa being at the level of a seven-kalpa being.

Such strength and foundation are truly awe-inspiring.

It can be said.

With the news of this battle spreading, no force in the Endless Immortal Realm dared to underestimate the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

After all, a force possessing combat power comparable to a Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable is a top-tier existence in the entire Endless Immortal Realm.

Apart from some ancient top forces and those supreme forces with immortal foundations, how many other forces can rival the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty?

-

Regarding external affairs.

Gu Qingfeng was well aware of this.

This battle.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is destined to become famous.

but.

Gu Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to these matters for the time being.

Upon returning to the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, his first priority was to go into seclusion to heal his injuries.

The battle with the Chaos Saint Lord left Gu Qingfeng severely injured. Such a serious Dao injury was like a maggot clinging to his bone, and it was always difficult to erase.

If he doesn't heal and recover, let alone break through in cultivation, even regaining his strength will be a problem.

……

Deep inside the palace.

Gu Qingfeng appeared in the empty immortal palace, his aura slightly disordered, and a barely perceptible golden bloodstain remained on the sleeve of his imperial robe.

The final battle against the Chaos Lord was far from as easy as it seemed.

The power of the self-destruction of the half-immortal artifact, as well as the Daoist wounds left by the Chaos Saint Lord's counterattack before his death, have deeply penetrated his physical body and soul.

now.

Gu Qingfeng's top priority now is to recover from his injuries.

With a wave of his hand, he set up layers of restrictions, instantly enveloping the entire Immortal Palace in a rich aura of the Great Dao, completely isolating it from the outside world.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in the void, and the Longevity Chaos Body operated autonomously. Beneath his skin, it seemed that billions of miniature chaotic vortexes were generated, slowly and steadily devouring and erasing the chaotic Daoist essence that had invaded his body.

This process is extremely slow and painful.

Those chaotic Daoist auras were like venomous snakes with life, stubbornly coiling in vital spots. Each time they were destroyed, they would affect the Daoist auras around the body, bringing excruciating pain as if tearing apart one's soul.

Gu Qingfeng's expression remained calm, but a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor occasionally flickered between his brows.

He drew upon the vast fortune of the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty to empower himself. The golden fortune surged into the Immortal Palace like a boundless ocean, merging with the immortal energy of the Immortal Realm to help suppress and purify those destructive forces.

Time slipped away quietly in deep seclusion; ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

The lingering, insidious Daoist essence was gradually stripped away and refined.

Gu Qingfeng's aura gradually calmed down from its initial disorder, and his damaged internal organs and meridians were reshaped and became more and more resilient under the amazing restorative power of the Longevity Chaos Body.

Tens of thousands of years later, when the last trace of the violent aura belonging to the Chaos Immortal Staff was completely obliterated, Gu Qingfeng suddenly burst forth with dazzling chaotic immortal light, causing the entire Immortal Palace to tremble.

His injuries were finally fully healed, and his cultivation was even more refined and profound due to the tempering of this ultimate battle and the subsequent 100,000 years of accumulation. His understanding of the Yellow Springs Dao was also deepened.

On this day, the restrictions on the Immortal Palace slowly dissipated.

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, and the chaotic scene of birth and death flashed in his eyes for a moment before returning to the deep, still gaze of a deep well.

He took a step and appeared in another grand hall.

Not long after.

Gu Cang came to pay his respects, and when he saw Gu Qingfeng, he bowed respectfully: "Congratulations on Your Majesty's return from seclusion!" "Hmm."

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, his voice calm.

"What major events have occurred in the outside world while I was in seclusion?"

Gu Cang's expression turned solemn, and he bowed to report: "Your Majesty, it is just as you predicted. Since the destruction of the Chaos Holy Land, various forces have been fighting over the territory and resources it left behind, especially the Taiyi Holy Land and the Nine Profound Immortal Sect, which have been in constant conflict."

"About 70,000 years ago, the battle broke out completely, sweeping across the entire Chaos Immortal Realm. The Divine Mountain Holy Land was severely weakened by the fall of its Holy Lord and was destroyed by the combined forces of the Taiyi Holy Land and others in the chaos."

"After that, the war between Taiyi Holy Land and Jiuxuan Immortal Sect escalated again, with both sides fighting fiercely for tens of thousands of years without a clear victor."

This battle resulted in heavy losses for both sides, and many forces were affected and perished as a result.

Gu Cang paused for a moment, then continued.

"Afterwards, seeing that things were hopeless, the two major powers stopped fighting and made peace, jointly ruling the Chaos Immortal Realm and sharing the legacy left by the former Chaos Holy Land."

"Um--"

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

This result.

This was within his expectations.

From the beginning.

Gu Qingfeng could have foreseen this situation.

It is true that the Taiyi Holy Land has a strong foundation, but the Jiuxuan Immortal Sect is equally impressive. If the two forces were to fight to the death, even if one side could win, it would be destined to suffer heavy losses on both sides.

If it really comes to that, then you'll be doing all the work for someone else.

In this case...

Unless the two major forces are foolish, they cannot continue fighting each other.

Join hands.

That is actually the best approach.

The only difference is.

The Holy Lord of the Divine Mountain has fallen.

With the sacred mountain having lost its greatest trump card, its annihilation in this battle was inevitable.

In fact.

If it weren't the Holy Lord of the Divine Mountain who perished, but rather the Nine Profound Heavenly Venerable or the Supreme Lord of Taiyi, then the fate of the Nine Profound Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Holy Land would probably be not much different from that of the Divine Mountain Holy Land.

and so.

The destruction of sacred mountains and holy sites is not something to be surprised about.

Gu Qingfeng sat high on the imperial throne, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the armrest, producing a deep and majestic sound that echoed in the spacious hall. As he listened to Gu Cang's report, a profound light flickered in his eyes, as if he were deducing the future landscape of the endless immortal realm.

Currently, the Chaos Immortal Realm is jointly controlled by the Taiyi Holy Land and the Nine Profound Immortal Sect. In Gu Qingfeng's view, this is not a bad thing at all; on the contrary, it is exactly what he wanted.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits. Now, these two wounded snipe and clam are forced to join forces, guarding that tempting pond..."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng's lips.

"I imagine that right now, outside the Chaos Immortal Realm, wolves are already lurking, and countless eyes are greedily eyeing that piece of fat meat, aren't they?"

"Your Majesty knows things like a god!"

Gu Cang bowed slightly, his words filled with sincere admiration.

"Just as Your Majesty predicted, the Chaos Immortal Realm has now become the eye of the storm."

Although the Taiyi Holy Land and the Jiuxuan Immortal Sect have joined forces, both have suffered heavy losses in their previous internal strife, and their strength is less than half of what it was at its peak.

Several top-tier religious sects and ancient families in the surrounding area are already showing signs of activity, and there are rumors that they are joining forces to exert pressure and intend to divide up the Chaos Immortal Realm.

He paused briefly before continuing.

"It was precisely because of this enormous external pressure that the two major powers had no choice but to temporarily set aside their grudges and form an alliance to protect themselves."

They are now outwardly strong but inwardly weak, caught between a rock and a hard place, constantly on guard against each other and facing a menacing external enemy.

At this point, Gu Cang raised his head and cautiously probed.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Chaos Immortal Realm is currently chaotic. Both of our two guardian dogs are injured and exhausted, and the external enemies have not yet fully united."

"Given the current power of my Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, if we intervene now, we might be able to snatch victory from the ashes and seize the Chaos Immortal Realm in one fell swoop! This is a golden opportunity!"

"The Celestial Dynasty need not interfere in this matter."

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Qingfeng slowly shook his head, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable determination.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the celestial palace, looking towards the distant and chaotic celestial realm.

From beginning to end.

Gu Qingfeng had no intention of personally getting involved in that mess.

The current function of the Chaos Immortal Realm is a huge vortex, which attracts all the probing, apprehension, and even greedy gazes that are focused on the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

For Gu Qingfeng, having the attribute panel as an incredible cheat means that as long as he has enough time to settle down, breaking through to higher realms will not be a problem at all.

Resources and territory are important, but they are secondary compared to steadily increasing absolute strength.

Once I've steadily reached the Ninth Tribulation Realm with my upgrade points and am sweeping across the world, a mere Chaos Immortal Realm will be nothing more than a piece of cake, easily within my grasp.

Before that happens, keeping a low profile and observing the situation is the best option.

He certainly wouldn't make a scene at this time and invite unnecessary trouble for himself.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng's mind stirred slightly, and the attribute panel that only he could see quietly appeared.

……

Name: Gu Qingfeng
Age: Immortality

Realm: Seven Tribulation Celestial Venerable

The Great Dao: The Great Dao of Annihilation (Sixth Level Perfection), The Great Dao of the Underworld (Seventh Tribulation Mid-Stage), The Great Dao of Frost (Fifth Level Perfection), The Great Dao of Time (Fifth Level Perfection)
Improvement Points: 322153697445
……

He secluded himself for 100,000 years to heal his injuries. Although he did not actively improve his cultivation, the reproduction and cultivation of his descendants never stopped, and the improvement points he provided continued to grow steadily. Now, they have exceeded 320 billion.

Unfortunately, there is still a huge gap between the ten trillion needed to advance to the middle stage of the seventh tribulation, with a shortfall of nearly ninety-seven trillion.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm and unhurried in the face of this situation.

Judging from the current rate of point acquisition, as long as there are nearly ten million years of steady accumulation, breaking through to the middle stage of the Seventh Tribulation will be a natural outcome.

If a few exceptionally talented individuals emerge among the younger generation during this period, providing more improvement points, this timeframe can be shortened.

Gu Qingfeng anticipated that he could push his cultivation to the peak of the Seven Tribulations within 20 million years.

Within a hundred million years, with a massive amount of upgrade points, breaking through the barriers and reaching the Eighth Tribulation Celestial Venerable realm will be a piece of cake.

If Gu Qingfeng had just transmigrated, he might have felt that a hundred million years was an eternity that was utterly despairing.

But now, after millions of years of cultivation and having witnessed too many ancient celestial beings who were stuck in their current realm and could not make any progress for hundreds of millions of years, he has long understood that a hundred million years is nothing to an old monster who truly pursues the eternal Dao.

Many exceptionally talented individuals find it difficult to advance further beyond the Seventh Tribulation Realm throughout their entire lives.

With the attribute panel at hand, breaking through to the eighth tribulation in one hundred million years, and having a great chance to glimpse the ninth tribulation in one billion years, is a terrifying speed that would drive any Heavenly Venerable crazy.

Once he steadily enters the Nine Tribulations Realm, relying on the various supreme Daos he has accumulated, Gu Qingfeng believes that, without the emergence of immortals, there are probably only a handful of people in the world who can rival him.

At that time, the landscape will be completely different.

and so.

At present, the priority should be to play it safe.

Gu Qingfeng's previous radical actions were due to the circumstances that forced him to act in this way.

After all, the evil god clan's sword was already at their throats; it would be impossible for them to have no reaction at all.

But for now...

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's reputation has been thoroughly established. Knowing that the Immortal Dynasty has a powerful figure like myself, who is comparable to a Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable, other forces would have to think twice before taking any action.

after all.

Having the power of a Ninth Tribulation cultivator and not having the power of a Ninth Tribulation cultivator are two different concepts.

As long as nothing major goes wrong, Gu Qingfeng believes that few forces would deliberately provoke the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

not to mention.

The current situation in the Chaos Immortal Realm has attracted considerable attention. (End of Chapter)
