My son is about to break through.

"The Immortals will not emerge!"

"I shall use the netherworld and the underworld to suppress the evil god!"

Gu Qingfeng carefully put away the jade talisman, and all the pent-up frustration in his heart vanished.

The gloom that had been hanging over my heart has now completely dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented clarity.

Why think so much?

Three hundred billion years is still a long time for him.

To date, Gu Qingfeng has cultivated for less than 100 million years, while 30 billion years is certainly a long time.

For ordinary people, this is an unimaginable time.

Even for the Celestial Venerable, this was a rather long period of time.

Given time, even if he doesn't break through to immortality, reaching the realm of a Nine Tribulations Great Celestial Venerable shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, with his own talent and foundation, plus the help of the Netherworld, breaking through to the Ninth Tribulation was only a matter of time.

Given the terrifying power of the Great Dao of Order, if the Great Dao of the Netherworld could break through to the ninth level, Gu Qingfeng believed that he might be able to fight even an Immortal in person.

As the supreme Dao, the Netherworld Dao is far more powerful than ordinary Daos. If one can cultivate it to its peak, it may be able to contend with the immortals.

Of course, there are differences even among immortals.

The twelve realms of immortality are vastly different from each other.

Even if he could rival the immortals, he would probably only be able to contend with the first level of immortals at best.

Even against those beings who have survived multiple immortal tribulations, he is still no match.

However, if Huang Quan can also improve in the future, Gu Qingfeng will have enough confidence.

The third stage, the Yellow Springs, can rival the immortals.

If it were the fourth stage of the Yellow Springs, it might not be impossible for him to contend with beings in the twelfth realm of immortality.

but--

These are all just Gu Qingfeng's assumptions.

Advancing through the Yellow Springs is no easy feat; it requires devouring a massive number of Yin souls, and the process becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.

But no matter what, Huang Quan's existence will be his trump card and reliance in the future.

No, to be precise, the entire Netherworld is its trump card.

As the ruler of the underworld, he can mobilize power far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

However, the underworld is still in the development stage, and many of its powers cannot be fully utilized.

Originally, what Gu Qingfeng feared most was the existence of immortals.

If an immortal god from the evil god race were to disregard his reputation and make a move, his own strength would be insufficient to withstand it.

That kind of absolute suppression on a life level cannot be compensated for by skills and background.

But it's different now.

With the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei personally appearing and giving him a trump card to protect his life, Gu Qingfeng now had the confidence to face the immortals head-on.

The power contained in that jade talisman was enough to save his life at a critical moment.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Immortals don't appear, Gu Qingfeng is confident that there aren't many beings below the Immortal level who can threaten him.

With his current strength, combined with the Yellow Springs and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, he could suppress even a Great Celestial Venerable at the peak of the Nine Tribulations.

at the same time.

Gu Qingfeng then thought of the existence of the Lord of Mount Tai.

"That former lord of the underworld might also be an immortal being at the twelfth level!"

Although Gu Qingfeng had no evidence whatsoever.

However, given the status of the Lord of Mount Tai and the terrifying nature of the old underworld...

He had every reason to believe that the other party was likely an unparalleled powerhouse who had reached the twelfth level of immortality.

after all.

The Ten Kings of Hell are all immortal.

If the Lord of Mount Tai were of average strength, how could he suppress so many immortals and thus ascend to the position of Lord of the Underworld?

What's more.

The power of creation bestowed by the other party is also infinitely mysterious.

Such methods, capable of creating a realm of hell comparable to the endless immortal realm, are definitely not something that ordinary immortals can possess.

As for the fall of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Gu Qingfeng had his doubts.

Perhaps it was because of that tribulation of transcendence.

but--

Ultimately, these were just Gu Qingfeng's own speculations, and there was nothing to be done about them.

How exactly.

Perhaps we'll only know for sure after he breaks through to immortality.

Then, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the Immortal Realm and discovered that some mysterious changes had occurred there.

The land, which had been corrupted by evil spirits, is now bursting with vitality.

The originally murky sky has become clear and bright.

"The lingering immortal Daoist charm is an immense blessing for a celestial realm. Originally, this celestial realm was inhabited by evil gods, and the eerie aura lingered and could not be completely eliminated even after millions of years."

"But now, the immortal Daoist aura has not only dispelled all the evil god's aura, but has also left many opportunities for this immortal realm!"

Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, amazed by this method.

With his current cultivation level, he is already able to glimpse a corner of the future of this immortal realm.

In his perception, the future of this immortal realm was bright, the laws of the Great Dao were becoming exceptionally active, and the concentration of spiritual energy was constantly increasing.

As expected, with the future generations of beings in this immortal realm, someone will surely obtain this immortal fortune and thus reach the realm of the Eternal Celestial Venerable.

This immortal Daoist essence is like the best nourishment, enabling this land to nurture unprecedented geniuses.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many Heavenly Venerables in the Endless Immortal Realms; that's only because there are countless Immortal Realms, which makes it seem like there are many Heavenly Venerables.

In fact, in the Ten Directions Immortal Realm, not a single Celestial Venerable has emerged who has attained the pinnacle of immortality.

A celestial realm is vast, and even if you were to throw it into the lower realm, it would be comparable to a chaotic realm.

In other words, even in the chaotic lower realms of the ten directions, it is extremely difficult to give birth to a Celestial Venerable of Immortality. This demonstrates the rarity of Celestial Venerables.

This immortal realm is just an ordinary immortal realm, but it already possesses the opportunity of a Heavenly Venerable. Gu Qingfeng has gained a clearer understanding of the terrifying power of immortality.

To such beings, the so-called Celestial Venerable is no different from an ant.

If an immortal is willing, even a small amount of power can bring forth an immortal being.

But what's the point?

No matter how many Celestial Venerables there are, they can be destroyed with a wave of the hand at the level of immortality. The accumulation of quantity is meaningless in the face of qualitative difference.

Despite the fierce fighting between the two races, in Gu Qingfeng's view, the true determinant of their survival has always been those twenty-two immortals.

Beneath the immortal, all are but ants.

This isn't just empty talk; it's a harsh reality.

The current battle between the two races is more like a large-scale breeding ground for venomous insects, all in order to give birth to an existence that can reach the pinnacle of immortality.

As for how many ordinary cultivators die, it's actually insignificant.

In the face of the grand scale of racial survival, the life and death of an individual seem so insignificant.

This also explains why, despite the remnants of the battle between the two races, the immortals have never made a move.

Even when the evil god clan launched a massive invasion, the Ziwei Celestial Court, though reacting, did not see any immortals appear. Ultimately, the Ziwei Celestial Court was completely indifferent to such matters.

For that Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, only those geniuses who had the chance to ascend to immortality were barely worth his attention.

The rest are not worth mentioning.

……

Mysterious Celestial Realm.

Inside the Imperial Palace's Celestial Hall.

Gu Qingfeng has returned here.

"What is the current situation of the evil gods within the Immortal Dynasty?"

He looked down at the assembled officials, his voice neither hurried nor slow, yet it contained boundless majesty.

Although his tone was calm, every word seemed to carry immense weight, causing the celestial officials present to involuntarily straighten their backs.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty took action to suppress and kill the evil gods from various immortal realms, the other evil gods have retreated at the mere mention of your name. Now, within the territory of the Immortal Dynasty, evil gods are terrified!"

As Luo Tian finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Qingfeng with awe.

They were also aware that this Celestial Emperor had taken action to suppress and kill various evil gods.

On that day, the Yellow Springs swept across the starry sky, and all the evil gods in its path were annihilated. Such power was unforgettable for them.

The evil god calamity that had plagued the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty for many years has now been quelled in one fell swoop, and such strength naturally inspires awe.

The calamity that had remained unresolved for 100,000 years and the sacrifice of countless soldiers was completely quelled in a short time after this person took action. This is a testament to absolute power.

"How many evil god kingdoms are currently adjacent to the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty?"

Gu Qingfeng asked again. His gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Luo Tian.

Luo Tian said respectfully, "Currently, there are two divine kingdoms adjacent to the Immortal Dynasty: the Eternal Silence Divine Kingdom and the Nine Nether Divine Kingdom."

His voice was clear and steady, indicating that he was well aware of this information.

"How is the strength?"

Gu Qingfeng continued to ask.

"The strength of the Eternal Silence Divine Kingdom is comparable to that of the former Blood Shadow Divine Kingdom. Its god-lord is rumored to be an Eight Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable."

As for the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom, it is the strongest. The Nine Netherworld God Lord had already reached the Nine Tribulations Realm six hundred billion years ago.

Luo Tian paused for a moment, then continued, "The Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom once launched a military campaign against the Immortal Dynasty, but since His Majesty destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Divine Kingdom, the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom has remained silent and has not made any further moves!"

Luo Tian truthfully recounted the affairs of the two great divine kingdoms. For him, this information about the divine kingdoms was second nature.

After all, as the commander-in-chief who leads the army of the Immortal Dynasty and fights against foreign enemies, it would be too unreasonable for him not to know these things.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng pondered for a long time.

The hall fell silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Immortal Emperor's decision.

They knew that every decision Gu Qingfeng made would affect the future direction of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

"Pass down the order: send troops to the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom in one month!"

Gu Qingfeng finally spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable determination.

Upon hearing this, a subtle commotion arose within the hall.

Although everyone had anticipated Gu Qingfeng's decision, they were still shocked when they actually heard the order.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years ago, the Immortal God Kingdom issued an edict ordering many evil gods to attack the Immortal Dynasty. Although the evil gods have retreated within the Immortal Dynasty's borders, they dare not disobey the Immortal God's command."

As soon as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, a celestial official raised an objection.

"If we were to attack the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom at this time, and if other evil gods seized the opportunity to strike, the Immortal Dynasty would easily be attacked from both sides!"

The celestial official's voice was filled with worry, a concern shared by many present.

Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

With the evil god clan eyeing them covetously and the decree of the Immortal God Kingdom having been issued, the situation of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is far from optimistic.

If we act rashly, we may find ourselves in a passive position.

However, Gu Qingfeng had his own opinion on this matter.

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on the celestial official. His voice remained calm: "The Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom is an evil god's kingdom, and it will surely become a great enemy of the Celestial Dynasty in the future. Now that the Xuantian Celestial Dynasty has taken the lead in annihilating it, there will be one less threat in the future."

"What's more-"

Gu Qingfeng abruptly changed the subject.

"Besides, our Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has never been passively attacked without fighting back. Since the Evil God Clan has attacked first, there is nothing more to say."

Gu Qingfeng's voice suddenly turned cold, and a sharp killing intent emanated from him.

"First, I will destroy the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom, then I will annihilate the Eternal Silence Divine Kingdom. I will make all the evil gods in the Endless Immortal Realm understand that the majesty of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty will not tolerate any provocation!"

As he uttered the last sentence, an aura as powerful as an abyss erupted from Gu Qingfeng, instantly suppressing the entire void of the Immortal Palace.

The aura was so heavy it was almost tangible, causing the celestial officials present to catch their breath and making it difficult for them to even move.

At this moment, everyone truly felt the determination of this Celestial Emperor.

He wasn't asking for opinions; he was issuing orders.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has never been a weakling that can be bullied at will.

Luo Tian was the first to react, and immediately bowed to accept the order: "Your subject obeys!"

Upon seeing this, the other celestial officials also bowed and said, "Your subjects obey the decree!"

Their voices were unified and resonated with a determination to die for their cause.

Now that the Celestial Emperor has made his decision, all they have to do is carry out his orders.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the officials below and nodded slightly: "Go and prepare. In one month, I will personally lead an expedition against the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure slowly disappeared, leaving everyone in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

In the royal garden.

Gu Yang appeared here.

"Father!"

"You can say whatever you want."

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the other party's hesitant expression and smiled calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang cupped his hands and said, "Ten thousand years ago, an Immortal God Lord attacked Father Emperor. Now, the Immortal Dynasty is launching a major attack on the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom. If this alerts the Immortal Divine Kingdom, and that Immortal God Lord strikes again, I fear the Immortal Dynasty will find it difficult to resist with its current capabilities—"

As Gu Yang finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Qingfeng.

The meaning behind the words is already quite clear.

In the present day, it will not be easy for the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty to stop an immortal being.

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "I know your concerns, but I met with that person from the Ziwei Immortal Court not long ago. Within 30 billion years, no immortal will interfere in the conflict between the two races."

This sentence.

This caused Gu Yang to be deeply shaken.

That one from the Purple Star Immortal Court?
Clearly, these words refer to the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, the ancient and immortal figure of the Ziwei Celestial Court.

He never imagined that his father, the emperor, would be connected with the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor.

But soon, Gu Yang's expression brightened.

"If that's the case, then the Immortal Dynasty really doesn't need to worry too much. As long as the Immortals don't make a move, even the top evil gods would be no match for Father!"

Now that things have come to this, Gu Yang finally understands where Gu Qingfeng's confidence comes from.

With his father's strength, unless an immortal intervenes, the remaining evil gods who can truly threaten the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty are few and far between. (End of Chapter)
