My son is about to break through.

"You did a good job. The Underworld is developing with all its might. The war between the human race and the evil god race will probably break out in full force soon."

At that time, I might have to borrow the power of the underworld!

Gu Qingfeng spoke calmly, his voice echoing in the Underworld Hall, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

His gaze swept over the many underworld officials in the hall, finally settling on Gu Peng.

The underworld's current resources are of no use to him for the time being.

A million ghost soldiers and ten thousand ghost generals may sound like a huge number, but in the face of a truly powerful being, this force is still too weak.

A single Ninth Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable could easily sweep through the entire Underworld.

However, if the underworld is given some time to grow, then that's a different story.

The Underworld is indeed an existence of equal status to the Endless Immortal Realm. If given time to develop, its foundation and strength should not be underestimated.

As the ruler of reincarnation, the underworld has unlimited potential for growth.

One day, the underworld will be able to play a significant role.

Imagine the terrifying scene when an army of billions of ghost soldiers shatters the void, and countless underworld officials take control of the cycle of life and death.

Gu Qingfeng was optimistic about this.

As the Lord of Mount Tai, he shares the glory and the loss of the underworld.

The more powerful the underworld is, the stronger he becomes.

Of course, as I said before, everything takes time.

If 30 million years isn't enough, then 300 million years, or even 3 billion years.

For the Celestial Venerables, time is the least valuable thing; they possess near-eternal life.

Given enough time, the Underworld will become the greatest foundation of the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

A hell realm comparable to the endless immortal realm would contain unimaginable power.

but--

Even now, the existence of the underworld is indispensable.

After all, the power of the underworld is centered on the Xuantian Immortal Realm and expands to other immortal realms. Any cultivator from the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty who falls can enter the underworld.

After entering the underworld, these cultivators either reincarnate and begin a new life, or are trained as ghost soldiers and underworld officials to continue serving the immortal dynasty. This is equivalent to giving the cultivators of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty a second life.

In this way, the cultivators of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty are essentially given two lives.

This is of great help in boosting morale and enhancing cohesion.

After all, everyone knows that even if you die on the battlefield, you still have a chance to start over.

Of course, at present, the foundation of the underworld is too shallow.

It is impossible to turn all the cultivators of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty into ghost soldiers and underworld officials.

The underworld has limited capacity and cannot accommodate too many wandering spirits.

But given enough time, it shouldn't be a problem for the underworld to get to this point.

As the underworld continues to expand, its capacity to accommodate more and more people will also increase.

The reason is simple.

How big is the underworld?

How large is the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty?

As an existence on par with the Endless Immortal Realm, the Underworld is ultimately comparable to the entire Endless Immortal Realm.

The reason why the Endless Immortal Realm is called "Endless" is because this chaotic immortal realm is so vast and boundless that even a Heavenly Venerable would find it extremely difficult to step into it and find its end.

The exact size of the Endless Immortal Realm remains a mystery to this day.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, placed within the entire Endless Immortal Realm, is but a drop in the ocean.

Although the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has now annexed hundreds of thousands of surrounding immortal realms, and its territory is vast, it is still insignificant compared to the entire Endless Immortal Realm.

If the Underworld could truly grow to a level comparable to the Boundless Immortal Realm, accommodating a mere Xuantian Immortal Dynasty would be an easy task.

At that time, the underworld will become the true ruler of reincarnation, controlling the life and death of billions of living beings.

Therefore, as time goes by, the role of the underworld will become more and more important.

From initially being able to accommodate only a small number of spirits, to later being able to support the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, and finally being comparable to the Endless Immortal Realm, this was a gradual process.

"Your subordinate will do his utmost to manage the Underworld and share the burdens of the Lord!"

Gu Peng said respectfully, his voice filled with determination.

As King Qin Guang, he understood the potential of the government better than anyone else.

Given enough time, the underworld will surely become a force capable of changing the course of the battle.

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Gu Peng's attitude.

He didn't stay in the underworld for long before his divine sense withdrew.

While the underworld is important, the most pressing issue right now is dealing with the threat posed by the evil god race.

After leaving the underworld, the divine consciousness returned to the body.

Gu Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

After 100,000 years of recuperation, his injuries were finally completely healed, and his condition was even better than before he was injured.

Gu Qingfeng finally emerged from seclusion.

This time, he spent a full 100,000 years in seclusion to heal his injuries.

For mortals, 100,000 years is enough for civilizations to rise and fall.

But for the Celestial Venerable, this was merely a slightly longer period of seclusion.

This is the longest period of seclusion Gu Qingfeng has ever spent due to injury.

In the past, no matter how serious the injury, he was able to recover in a short time.

However, the immortal Daoist aura was too troublesome, and even with his abilities, it took him 100,000 years to completely eliminate it.

but--

If an ordinary Celestial Venerable were to suffer such an injury, it would be difficult for him to truly recover, let alone 100,000 years, or even 1 million or 10 million years.

The immortal Daoist essence is like a malignant tumor, constantly eroding a cultivator's vitality until it is completely destroyed.

After all, the immortal Daoist aura is hard to dispel. If Gu Qingfeng hadn't used the power of the Yellow Springs to gradually erase these Daoist auras, it would have taken him countless years to recover from his injuries.

The power of the Yellow Springs, as the core power of the Netherworld, has a remarkable effect in dealing with immortal Daoist charm.

When Gu Qingfeng emerged from seclusion, the news spread quickly.

The previously fluctuating morale of the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty suddenly stabilized.

The existence of this Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor is the anchor of the entire Immortal Dynasty.

In the imperial court, numerous celestial officials gathered.

Civil and military officials lined up on both sides, each with a solemn expression.

The moment Gu Qingfeng stepped into the main hall, everyone involuntarily held their breath.

"Congratulations on Your Majesty's successful completion of the seclusion!"

Everyone offered their congratulations, their faces beaming with smiles.

Most of these celestial officials were veterans who had followed Gu Qingfeng for many years and had deep feelings for the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

To them, Gu Qingfeng was the pillar of the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty. During his seclusion, the hearts of the people in the Immortal Dynasty were in turmoil.

After all, since the Immortal God Lord himself took action, no one knew the extent of his condition.

If anything were to happen to the other party, the entire Immortal Dynasty would fall apart.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has reached its current scale entirely thanks to Gu Qingfeng.

If he falls, the Immortal Dynasty will surely be plunged into internal and external troubles.

This situation was naturally not what these celestial officials wanted to see.

They had already established themselves in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, sharing its prosperity and decline. Therefore, Gu Qingfeng's appearance at this moment was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them.

As long as this person is still alive, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty will not fall.

On the throne, Gu Qingfeng asked calmly, "How has the situation in the Immortal Dynasty been during my seclusion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty went into seclusion, news has come from the Immortal Divine Kingdom that they intend to mobilize the armies of various evil gods to destroy our Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty."

"However, the human race is also reacting fiercely right now, and the battle with the evil god race is severe."

Led by the Purple Star Immortal Court, numerous forces are locked in a stalemate with the evil god's army at the border, tying down the majority of the evil god's forces.

"So far, although the evil god clan has a large army pressing in, it is able to barely hold on thanks to the foundation of the immortal dynasty and the support from the Ziwei Immortal Court."

Luo Tian said with a hint of relief, "In fact, this was all thanks to the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation left behind by His Majesty. Otherwise, even if the Immortal Dynasty could have held on, it would have suffered heavy losses!"

Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!

This was something Gu Qingfeng deliberately left behind before he went into seclusion, in order to guard the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

The actions of the evil god clan were within his expectations.

From the moment he escaped from the hands of the Immortal God, he knew that the evil god race would never let this go.

That's why Gu Qingfeng deliberately left the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation behind.

Although this treasure is not as powerful as the Yellow Springs, it is still a rare and effective weapon, sufficient to deal with most situations.

A ninth-grade creation treasure, such a supreme treasure can suppress and kill anyone below the level of a Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

Even beings at the Ninth Tribulation level can be somewhat resisted by the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

after all--

This treasure is imbued with the blood of trillions of evil gods, which is why it was able to advance to the ninth rank. Its destructive power is astonishing, and it is naturally incomparable to ordinary treasures of the same rank.

That overwhelming killing intent was something even the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable feared.

"By imperial decree, all evil gods who set foot on the territory of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty shall be slain, without exception!"

Gu Qingfeng said coldly, his voice filled with chilling killing intent.

Since the evil god clan had come knocking on his door, he naturally couldn't ignore it.

Over the years, the evil god race has slaughtered countless humans, committing atrocities that are too numerous to count.

Now that they dare to invade the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, they should be prepared to suffer a backlash.

Since both sides have already broken off relations, there's no need to worry about certain things anymore.

At this point, the only way to stop the killing is to use killing to stop the killing, and to use absolute power to make the evil god clan back down.

Moreover, Huang Quan was severely injured, and Gu Qingfeng needed more Yin spirits to feed Huang Quan.

These invading evil gods can serve as nourishment for the restoration of the Underworld.

It just so happens that an evil god has invaded, which is exactly what Gu Qingfeng wanted.

He was just worried about not finding enough Yin spirits to repair the Yellow Springs when the evil god clan offered themselves up to him.

As for the Immortal Kingdom—

Since that immortal god has remained silent for so many years, it means that a powerhouse at this level will not act rashly.

Every move made by an immortal being triggers a chain reaction; it's not something that happens casually.

In this way, the threat from the Immortal God can be greatly reduced.

At least, the Immortal God Lord shouldn't intervene again until the situation completely spirals out of control.

This gave the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty room to manipulate things.

As long as the Immortal doesn't emerge, Gu Qingfeng is confident in facing any challenge.

If they act recklessly, then there's nothing more to say.

Even if the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty were to exhaust all its resources, it would still be no match for an immortal being.

This is an absolute gap in strength, which cannot be bridged by courage and determination.

Furthermore, if the Immortal God Lord were to make a move, regardless of whether the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty took any action, the other party would not give the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty any chance whatsoever.

Since the other party hasn't made a move, it means they must have some reservations.

Perhaps out of concern for the immortality of the human race, or perhaps for other reasons, in any case, beings at this level do not act recklessly.

For Gu Qingfeng.

The most important thing right now is to seize every opportunity to improve our strength.

Only those with sufficient strength can survive in this dog-eat-dog world.

If you want to fight against immortality, ascending to the Yellow Springs is the fastest shortcut.

If Huang Quan can enter the third stage, then even if he is not an immortal opponent, he will not be as powerless as before.

At least, it will give us some confidence to put up a fight.

Even if the Immortal God Lord makes another move, he is confident that he will be able to contend with him.

"Furthermore, you can rest assured that I will personally take charge of the next battle—"

Gu Qingfeng's voice rang out again, carrying a reassuring power.

Hearing what Gu Qingfeng said, everyone was invigorated.

In their view, since this person was willing to take action, the evil god who invaded the Immortal Dynasty was no longer a threat.

After all, the one in front of them was someone who had managed to escape from the hands of an immortal.

Such a record is something that very few Heavenly Venerables in the entire Endless Immortal Realm can achieve.

Being able to escape from the hands of the immortals is itself a testament to strength.

……

Followed by.

Gu Qingfeng then began to deploy his troops.

Over the years, the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty has produced many powerful figures, such as Luo Tian, ​​Xu Tian, ​​and Yu Yang, who were among the first batch of important court officials. Their strength has reached at least the second tribulation level.

Furthermore, Gu Yang and other members of the royal bloodline possess considerable strength.

The reason why they were no match for the evil god clan was simply because the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty lacked a top expert to oversee the overall situation.

But now that Gu Qingfeng has emerged from seclusion, with him in charge, many problems can be easily solved.

A month later.

All the immortal realms of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty mobilized their armies to launch a counterattack against the evil god clan.

Gu Qingfeng even personally took action, heading towards one of the immortal realms.

This is a celestial realm.

It was originally an important immortal realm of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

But now that the Immortal Realm has fallen, the human army has either retreated or been wiped out in battle, and the vast Immortal Realm has now been completely turned into a lair of evil gods.

When Huang Quan arrived from the chaotic void, the expressions of many powerful evil gods in this immortal realm changed drastically.

"The Underworld—"

"Xuantian Immortal Emperor Gu Qingfeng!!!"

When the evil god who was in seclusion saw this scene, his face turned deathly pale. The fear in his heart prevented him from having any thought of resistance.

Almost instantly, the opponent was about to tear through the void and escape.

however.

The space that could be easily torn apart in the past is now as unshakable as an iron wall. Even with the strength of a Seven Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable, it is difficult to budge it in the slightest.

At the same time, an indifferent voice rang in the ears of the evil god.

"Now that we're here, why rush to leave!" (End of Chapter)
