"I, your father, have put a lot of effort into you two. If you could be more capable, you should break through a few more realms, ideally using the opportunity from the secret realm to step directly into the Divine Transformation Realm!"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the information panel, murmuring to himself.
Great Saint Secret Realm.
Inside a certain desolate mountain.
Both Gu Yang and Gu Xuan were in blood-stained clothes, and they looked somewhat disheveled.
Gu Yang was guarding on one side, while Gu Xuan was sitting cross-legged, apparently recovering from his injuries.
Gu Xuan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his originally pale complexion had become much rosier.
"Thank you, Big Brother, for protecting me."
"The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body is indeed mysterious; with such injuries, you have recovered so quickly."
Gu Yang looked at Gu Xuan, who had now fully recovered, his expression somewhat emotional.
He had recently obtained a Great Saint Treasure left by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint and was then pursued by other cultivators. Using the Great Saint Treasure and a contingency plan left by Gu Qingfeng, Gu Yang fought while retreating.
He encountered Gu Xuan, who was also being chased.
The two of them fled together.
They were surrounded by hundreds of cultivators, including dozens from the Divine Transformation Realm. Despite their numerous tactics, their cultivation was too weak, and Gu Xuan was severely injured by one of the Divine Transformation Realm powerhouses.
At the crucial moment.
The Evil Slayer Blade erupted with terrifying divine power, finally creating a bloody path for them.
Gu Yang followed the guidance of the Great Saint Treasure into this desolate mountain.
This mountain seemed ordinary, but it was filled with the Great Saint Dao Rhythm, the former meditation ground of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint. If one entered without guidance, it was easy to trigger the Great Saint Dao Rhythm and be instantly killed.
It was by relying on the Dao Rhythm of this desolate mountain that the two had a chance to catch their breath.
Gu Yang protected Gu Xuan while he healed.
Seeing Gu Xuan, who had completely recovered from his injuries in less than half a day, one can imagine the shock in his heart.
After all, given the severity of the injuries, if it were an ordinary cultivator, they might not die but would certainly be on the verge of death, unable to recover quickly without a long period of recuperation.
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body emphasizes rebirth from nirvana. If severely injured, as long as one can hold a breath, one can recover in ways beyond ordinary, and there's even a chance to breakthrough in cultivation."
"What I possess is a cultivated Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body, not a true Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body. The phoenix blood within me is limited and cannot compare to the true Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body!"
At the end, Gu Xuan also sighed.
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body is strong!
He had a profound experience of that.
But unfortunately, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body he possessed was merely a Fake Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body created by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, far inferior to the true Divine Body.
Gu Xuan looked outside the desolate mountain, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Big brother, do you think this place can stop those cultivators?"
Now that his cultivation had broken through, he sensed that many cultivators were attacking the desolate mountain.
Gu Xuan was unsure if this desolate mountain could hold off those cultivators.
Gu Yang's expression remained calm. "This place was guided to me by the Divine Phoenix Tower, the former site where the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint meditated. There is residual Great Saint Dao Rhythm here.
Even though it has been worn down by the years, I believe the residual Dao Rhythm here is not something ordinary cultivators can contend against."
"If the Great Saint Dao Rhythm here really cannot stop these cultivators, then we will make other plans!"
Gu Yang said lightly.
Compared to Gu Xuan, he was much more composed in handling matters, even now, surrounded by numerous cultivators on the desolate mountain, without any panic.
The reason he could be so calm was not only because Gu Yang had long been accustomed to high positions but also due to another reason.
That was because the Great Saint Secret Realm was about to close.
Every cultivator who entered the Great Saint Secret Realm received a message left by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, knowing the secret realm would only be open for a month.
All cultivators still in the Great Saint Secret Realm would be directly kicked out.
Gu Yang calculated the time; it had been about twenty days since they entered the Great Saint Secret Realm.
Once this had happened,
the two of them only needed to endure for ten more days before they could leave the Great Saint Secret Realm.
even if they really left the Great Saint Secret Realm, things wouldn't be so simple.
Now that the Great Saint Treasure and the inheritance had fallen into the hands of the two brothers, once the Great Saint Secret Realm ended, this news would definitely spread.
But at this point, there was no room for maneuver.
Gu Yang was even less likely to panic.
Hearing this, Gu Xuan relaxed a bit.
Various divine lights surged towards the barren mountain, hammering down fiercely, and in an instant, Dao Rhythms rose within the barren mountain, blocking all divine lights from the outside.
The collision of two forces caused the void to distort violently.
Such a huge fluctuation also made the faces of Gu Yang and his companion change.
"It seems they have realized that the Great Saint Secret Realm is about to end and want to completely trap us here!"
Gu Yang's expression darkened.
Now, he naturally understood the reason for the Divine Weapon.
It was a divine weapon refined by Dao Palace Realm powerhouses, and any ancient weapon contained terrifying power. If a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator possessed a divine weapon, it would be easy to kill powerful enemies across realms.
if the divine might of an ancient weapon were unleashed at all costs, it could even display an attack comparable to that of the Dao Palace Realm.
For cultivators in the Ancient Desolate World, any ancient weapon was incredibly precious and not something ordinary cultivators could possess.
But now, among the cultivators who had entered the Great Saint Secret Realm, there were some top forces' geniuses. These cultivators possessing divine weapons for protection was nothing unusual.
from within Gu Yang's Dantian, an ancient tower abruptly shot out, and in a blink of an eye, it was above the barren mountain. The next moment, overwhelming heavenly might spread out, falling into the barren mountain and merging with the various Dao Rhythms.
the Dao Rhythmic divine might of the barren mountain surged greatly.
All the divine lights that bombarded were directly shattered by a terrifying pressure, revealing the shapes of various divine weapons.
one could see numerous ancient weapons appearing densely packed with cracks, and then under the watchful eyes of all, these ancient weapons all shattered.
The ancient weapons exploded, turning into countless fragments scattering in all directions.
Outside the barren mountain, many cultivators turned pale, watching the shattered ancient weapons, feeling as if their hearts were being carved by a knife.
They had never expected that the Divine Phoenix Tower would suddenly appear and, aided by the Dao Rhythms of the barren mountain, shatter many ancient weapons.
Even if they were the geniuses of various forces, the loss of a divine weapon here was painful enough.
"Destroying my Shangguan Family's ancient weapon, these two indeed deserve to die!"
A purple-robed youth looked at the shattered ancient weapons, his handsome face twisting into a vicious expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
when looking at the Divine Phoenix Tower in the void, greed flashed in the purple-robed youth's eyes.
"Great Saint Treasure!"
"Such a treasure should belong to me!"
Shangguan Yu felt a surge of impulsiveness within him, wanting to directly seize the Divine Phoenix Tower. After all, such a Great Saint Treasure, even the Saint Family like the Shangguan Family, did not possess.
If he could obtain a Great Saint Treasure for his protection, when the era of great contention arrived, achieving sainthood would undoubtedly be no problem.
there was a possibility of stepping into the Great Saint Realm, becoming an existence comparable to the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint.
Shangguan Yu glanced at the cultivators in other directions and immediately said to the Divine Transformation Realm cultivator of the Shangguan Family beside him,
"Let the other cultivators step into the barren mountain, and must find a way to enter it. If they are unwilling, then there's no need for them to stay alive!"
Shangguan Yu's expression was cold.
the strong cultivators of the Shangguan Family immediately complied and went towards the Loose Cultivators.
This action, naturally, caused quite a disturbance.
But under the name of the Saint Family and the coercion of the many strong members of the Shangguan Family, some Loose Cultivators reluctantly stepped onto the barren mountain, and at the same time, great resentment towards the Shangguan Family arose in their hearts.
