Chapter 893: Chapter 529: The Turmoil of the Chaos Holy Land
At present, the number of Immortal Domains governed by the Immortal Dynasty is still too few. Back in the day, the Blood Shadow Divine Country could preside over 360,000 Immortal Domains.
In comparison, the mere tens of thousands of Immortal Domains under the Immortal Dynasty are somewhat too few!"
Thus he spoke.
Gu Qingfeng looked towards the void beyond.
"If the Qi Fortune of the Immortal Dynasty could rise by one or two more levels, I believe my strength would see significant breakthroughs. At that time, dealing with the Chaos Holy Land would come with more assurance."
"We, your children, will do our utmost!"
Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu clasped their fists and said.
As Princes, they each commanded numerous Immortal Dynasty armies. Over the years, the ability of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty to capture tens of thousands of Immortal Domains was intricately linked to the two of them.
In fact.
Compared to Luo Tian and others.
Gu Qingfeng naturally preferred to trust Gu Xuan and his kin.
After all.
The latter are his own bloodline descendants, with hardly any possibility of betrayal.
Therefore.
Regarding the Princes holding military power, there were no significant taboos in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
On the contrary.
Due to his trust in Gu Xuan and others, Gu Qingfeng was more willing to delegate power.
It’s not just Gu Xuan and others.
Any other descendants of the Gu Family capable of entering the Heavenly Venerate Realm with some achievement, Gu Qingfeng didn’t mind putting them to good use.
Even though there is an inclination to favor one’s kin.
In Gu Qingfeng’s view.
The Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty was founded by himself; arranging it as he wishes is entirely his affair.
Besides.
Gu Qingfeng does not make haphazard arrangements.
Anyone holding a significant position in the Immortal Dynasty is not lacking in cultivation and ability.
As for the truly mediocre individuals, Gu Qingfeng could not possibly employ them.
After all —
Blood ties are true.
But now, the descendants of the Gu Family are far too many.
Over millions of years of development.
The Gu Family has grown to an astonishing degree.
In Gu Qingfeng’s eyes, those mediocre descendants are merely slightly more cordial than strangers.
Only the truly outstanding individuals can catch Gu Qingfeng’s eye.
Of course.
No matter what.
Such practices.
Are bound to incite dissatisfaction among some people.
But as long as Gu Qingfeng is alive, no matter the dissatisfaction of other court officials or Immortal Officials, they can only keep it to themselves.
...
After Gu Yang and the others left, Gu Qingfeng’s Divine Thought moved, and the figure of Gu Cang appeared.
"Your subordinate pays respect to Your Majesty!"
"Keep an eye on the situation over at the Chaos Holy Land, and report immediately if there’s any news!"
"Yes!"
Gu Cang’s face was solemn.
At this moment.
Gu Qingfeng paused and asked again, "How many Heavenly Venerates are there currently in the Mystic Sky Forbidden Guard?"
"Currently, there are thirty-two Heavenly Venerates!"
Gu Cang replied without hesitation.
Gu Qingfeng nodded at these words, "Of these thirty-two Heavenly Venerates, how many were from the first batch of the Mystic Sky Forbidden Guard?"
"Nineteen!"
Gu Cang’s words left Gu Qingfeng silent.
He remembered that the first batch of Mystic Sky Forbidden Guards included twenty-seven Longevity warriors, but now only nineteen remain, indicating eight Longevity warriors have fallen.
However, this is normal.
With so many past wars, especially the battle with the Blood Shadow Divine Country, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty did not come away unscathed.
The fall of several Longevity warriors is quite normal.
Currently, the thirty-two Longevity warriors mean the remaining thirteen are cultivators recruited later.
Although.
Anyone who can become a Mystic Sky Forbidden Guard is trustworthy.
No matter how compared with the first batch of Death Soldiers, there are still some differences.
Then.
Gu Qingfeng flicked his finger, and a stream of Great Tao light fell before Gu Cang.
"You are now just half a step away from the Second Tribulation Heavenly Venerate; here lies 100,000 Middle Grade Dao Immortal Stones, more than enough for you to break through to the Second Tribulation Heavenly Venerate Realm.
Additionally, bestow each of the remaining nineteen Heavenly Venerates with 500,000 Low-grade Dao Immortal Stones to fully enhance their cultivation.
You all hold great importance for the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
If the cultivation is too meager, the deeds you can accomplish will be limited!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gu Cang grasped the storage ring, his expression full of excitement.
For him, these 100,000 Middle Grade Dao Immortal Stones represent a supreme opportunity.
As Gu Qingfeng said, these 100,000 Middle Grade Dao Immortal Stones are enough for him to break through to the Second Tribulation Heavenly Venerate Realm.
No.
This is not all.
It is no big problem to even take a big step forward in the Second Tribulation Realm.
After all, Middle Grade Dao Immortal Stones are not comparable to Lower Grade ones.
Such Dao Immortal Stones.
Gu Cang was fortunate to obtain a few.
But even a few Middle Grade Dao Immortal Stones significantly enhanced his cultivation.
If not.
Gu Cang couldn’t have reached the verge of the Second Tribulation so quickly.
Now.
With 100,000 Middle Grade Immortal Stones in hand, breaking through will be an easy task.
Subsequently.
Gu Cang retreated with many resources.
Once Gu Cang left, Gu Qingfeng’s expression became calm again.
"Chaos Holy Land!"
He looked in the direction of the Chaos Void, his eyes growing profound.
Gu Qingfeng was curious about what reaction the Chaos Holy Land would have when news of this battle was sent back.
Would they immediately mobilize a large army to attack or hold back and wait for the Chaos Holy Master to break through the Nine Tribulations before striking against the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty?
Of course.
Between these two possibilities.
Gu Qingfeng leaned towards the latter.
After all, nothing is more important than breaking through the Nine Tribulations.
If it were him breaking through, unless it involved a threat to the survival of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, he wouldn’t interrupt his seclusion.
By the same token.
The Chaos Holy Master likely thinks similarly.
Whether or not to break through the Nine Tribulations.
That’s two entirely different notions.
Moreover.
This kind of breakthrough opportunity is not always available.
If interrupted this time, breaking through later would not be as easy.
Even if the Chaos Holy Land has three Eight Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerates who fell at the hands of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, the Chaos Holy Master is unlikely to act immediately.
But only if they do not act immediately, the threat from the Chaos Holy Land is not as great as anticipated.
"Next up!"
"Is to see whether the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty acts faster or if you make your breakthrough first!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes grew cold.
Now that the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty and the Chaos Holy Land are locked in a life-and-death struggle, he naturally has no reason to hold back.
If there is any opportunity, Gu Qingfeng would not hesitate to crush the entire Chaos Holy Land.
Root and branch extermination!
This has always been his creed.
If he were not unsure now, Gu Qingfeng would have already mobilized troops to attack the Chaos Holy Land, sparing himself the hassle.
However.
The Chaos Holy Land has an Immortal foundation.
Gu Qingfeng must be wary to some degree.
In this circumstance, joining with other forces for action is more prudent.
With this thought.
Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes and continued quietly closed-door cultivation.
Though he has broken through the Seventh Tribulation Realm, his cultivation was not directly achieved through Upgrade Points, and is somewhat unstable.
Therefore.
Gu Qingfeng now aims to solidify his own cultivation.
If the cultivation can be stabilized, let alone anything else, his strength can at least increase further.
Of course.
If he can advance further and break through to the mid-level of the Seven Tribulations, it would be ideal.
But Gu Qingfeng also knows that in the short term, the chance for another breakthrough is slim.
The Dao Immortal Stones left in his possession are insufficient to support another breakthrough.
Additionally.
Beyond solidifying his cultivation.
Gu Qingfeng must carefully comprehend how the Yellow Springs Path, now that it has broken through the Seventh Layer Realm, differs from before.
...
While Gu Qingfeng was in closed-door cultivation, the news of the fall of the Three Great Heavenly Venerables had already spread throughout the Chaos Holy Land.
After all, as such powerful entities, they left corresponding measures in the Chaos Holy Land.
At the moment the Three Great Heavenly Venerables fell, the Chaos Holy Land was aware.
With the outburst of this news.
The entire Chaos Holy Land was instantly thrown into upheaval, and all cultivators who learned of it were terrified beyond words.
