Chapter 296: Chapter 229: Consecutive Breakthroughs
Many cultivators were hastily rushing towards the entrance of the secret realm.
There were strong practitioners from the Daoist Palace Realm who were unwilling to give up, intending to forcefully enter the secret realm; however, the moment they were about to step into the secret realm, an overwhelming pressure of saintly power suddenly descended.
That Daoist Palace Realm practitioner didn’t even have time to react before being directly crushed by this force.
It made all the other strong practitioners who planned to force their way into the secret realm turn pale.
The Great Saint Secret Realm!
It indeed was not something they could shake.
Even though the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint had fallen many years ago, the power left behind was still enough to annihilate all Daoist Palace Realm cultivators.
Many Daoist Palace Realm cultivators, although reluctant, could only suppress the impulse in their hearts.
The inheritance of the Great Saint was desirable.
But you needed to be alive to claim it.
“Mr. Gu, I’ll be taking my leave first!”
Fu He said as he cupped his hands in farewell.
Now that the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint’s secret realm was open only to cultivators below the Daoist Palace Realm, Fu He understood that his opportunity had come.
As a Divine Transformation Realm Nine Layers cultivator, he naturally wouldn’t be considered among the top practitioners present, but once he entered the Great Saint Secret Realm, that would change.
Right now, with the opening of the Great Saint Secret Realm in the Nine States, even if the news spread, it would still take time for the powerhouses from various forces to arrive.
How long the entrance to the Great Saint Secret Realm would remain open.
Fu He certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Gu Qingfeng slightly nodded, “Then, I wish Mr. Fu all the best!”
“Thank you for your auspicious words!”
Fu He laughed loudly, then stepped into the Great Saint Secret Realm.
Gu Qingfeng turned to Gu Yang and Gu Xiu beside him, saying, “This Great Saint Secret Realm only allows entry to those in the Daoist Palace Realm, which can be considered an opportunity; you may consider whether to enter.
If you do, I will provide you with protective measures.”
An inheritance left by a top Great Saint was indeed something that even Gu Qingfeng himself was somewhat tempted by.
He didn’t want to directly encounter the power of the prohibitions left by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint for the time being.
From the scene where the Daoist Palace Realm practitioner was just annihilated, it was evident that the power of the prohibitions left by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint was strong, and it was feared that even a real Saint intervening might not be able to forcefully enter.
Gu Qingfeng naturally wouldn’t take the risk.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang pondered for a moment, then said, “I intend to enter the Great Saint Secret Realm!”
The reason for doing so was because Gu Yang had his own considerations.
The existence of the Nine States was no longer a secret, and after today, the Divine Martial Dynasty was destined to enter the view of the Ancient Desolate World’s Five Domains.
Although the Nine States had the Ancient Beast Mountain Range as a barrier, it couldn’t stop strong practitioners.
One only needed to look at the Guiyuan Dynasty’s army of one hundred thousand, which swept through and blasted open the entire Ancient Beast Mountain Range, to see this.
The dangers inside were indeed there, but they wouldn’t count for much in the eyes of top practitioners.
Having witnessed the strength of the external powerhouses, Gu Yang was naturally eager to improve his own cultivation.
Grandmaster Initial Stage.
If we don’t count the Gu Family Manor, such a cultivation level was already considered top-notch in the Nine States.
But compared to the entire Ancient Desolate World, a Grandmaster was simply not enough.
Of the hundred thousand Divine Emperor Army troops, even the weakest was a Grandmaster.
“Take out what your father originally gave you.”
Gu Qingfeng instructed.
Gu Yang knew what the other party was referring to, and immediately took out the jade box.
Gu Qingfeng opened the jade box, inside which was one of his own severed fingers. However, the power inside had already weakened substantially.
Gu Qingfeng forced out a drop of his own essence blood and merged it into the severed finger, and in an instant, the finger once again became plump and full, and a terrifying pressure radiated from it.
“I have infused my drop of essence blood into it; below the realm of Dao Palace, as long as there’s no supreme treasure for protection, I believe it can suppress them. Carry it with you inside. If it’s untenable… never mind, you surely understand better than I do how to make a choice.”
Gu Qingfeng was going to offer Gu Yang a word or two of caution, but suddenly realized his eldest son was now a king in his own right, and it seemed there was nothing worth cautioning him about.
At this moment, Gu Xuan hesitated for a moment and then cupped his hands, saying, “I, too, would like to try entering…”
When he spoke these words, Gu Xuan didn’t have much confidence.
After all, he was only at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Mid-level and had not perfected his Body Refinement to the fifth level; in front of these practitioners who were mostly Grandmasters and Divine Transformation Realm, he was no different from an ant.
The opportunity of the Great Saint was right in front of him, and he wouldn’t feel content if he didn’t enter.
As Gu Xuan’s voice fell, Gu Qingfeng reached out into the air, and instantly, a streak of light shot from the manor, arriving in his hand within a single breath.
“Take the Evil Slayer Blade with you on this journey; if you encounter any danger, this blade will surely protect you!”
Gu Qingfeng handed the Evil Slayer Blade to Gu Xuan, who, upon hearing this, suddenly became overjoyed.
Gu Xuan was well aware of the strength of the Evil Slayer Blade.
Having been in Fu He’s company, Gu Xuan understood some of the issues with cultivation; weapons that powerful practitioners consecrated over many years could contain supreme divine power.
His own father, whose power was on par with top Daoist Palace Realm practitioners, consecrated the Divine Blade day and night, and it was indeed no ordinary item.
The two entered the Great Saint Secret Realm.
Gu Qingfeng also ordered Gu Wu and two others to enter the secret realm.
Gu Yang only brought Gu Wu and Gu Dao with him, leaving the remaining two to hold down the Capital, should any other unforeseen events arise.
