Gu Qingfeng had emerged from seclusion once more.
Listening to the reports of his subordinates and the information on his panel, he gained some understanding of the events that had transpired during his time in seclusion.
Wuzhou had suffered a natural disaster.
Three months of drought.
Gu Yang had used the Qi Fortune of the dynasty to bring forth nectar.
Although Gu Qingfeng was aware of such capabilities of the dynasty, he was still somewhat surprised upon learning of this.
He knew all too well the vastness of Wuzhou.
Setting aside the ability to summon wind and rain, even if he possessed such powers, it would still be difficult to change the climate of an entire region.
Even though Gu Qingfeng's strength was comparable to that of a Great Saint.
Strength was just strength.
Divine Skills were divine skills.
The two shouldn't be conflated.
Gu Qingfeng turned to look at other information panels.
"Your Death Soldier 'Gu Sishiqi' sustained damage from a demon attack *136598!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Gu Sishiqi' sustained damage from a demon attack *123142!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Gu Sishiqi' was surrounded and attacked by numerous demons and broke through to the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm during the battle!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Gu Sishiqi' infiltrated a Demon Sect, secretly stole from their treasury, acquiring numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before leaving triumphantly!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Gu Sishiqi' consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along with a Demon Core, breaking through to the third level of Divine Transformation Realm!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Huang Xuan' unexpectedly rescued a critically wounded and dying powerhouse, earning their favor and being accepted as a Direct Disciple!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Hong Ye's' founded Netherworld Pavilion's reputation has been growing increasingly stronger, attracting many Loose Cultivators and getting the attention of several forces!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Hong Ye' luckily found an opportunity and broke through to the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Gu Wu' failed in his assault on the Dao Palace Realm, suffering minor backlash, and is now recovering!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Huang Jiu' acquired an opportunity in the secret realm but was unfortunately ambushed and perished!"
"Your Death Soldier 'Zhang Yuan' encountered robbery and tragically lost his life!"
"Your Death Soldier..."
Ever since he had acquired three thousand Death Soldiers, Gu Qingfeng let them develop on their own, which led to a surge in the information on the Death Soldier panel.
Nearly every moment, relevant text was refreshed.
Either a Death Soldier obtained an opportunity, or they encountered a crisis, and the less fortunate ones perished due to various accidents.
For some whose luck was poor and perished, there were others whose fortunes allowed them to breakthrough.
However, up to this point, none of these Death Soldiers had stepped into the Dao Palace Realm.
For ordinary Cultivators to step into the Dao Palace Realm, it truly wasn't that easy.
Gu Qingfeng shifted his attention to himself.
Realm: Tao Palace Realm Ninth Layer
Martial Arts: Heavenly Vein Scripture (Second Layer), Heavenly Blade (Perfection), Great Wilderness Fist Scripture (Perfection), Divine Sun Scripture (Perfection), Ancient Heavenly Blade (Perfection), Purple Extreme Dao Scripture (Perfection), Lei Feng Scripture (Not entered), Nirvana Dao Scripture (Grandmaster Second Level), Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill (Not entered), Nine Heavens Scripture (Grandmaster Third Level)
During this period, Gu Qingfeng had made some progress in cultivating the Nine Heavens Scripture, breaking through from the Grandmaster First Level to the Third Level.
However, the further he went, the more difficult cultivating the Nine Heavens Scripture became.
According to Gu Qingfeng's estimate.
If he wanted to fully cultivate the Nine Heavens Scripture to the Divine Transformation Realm, it would take at least a year or two.
This amount of time, for other Cultivators, naturally isn't considered short, and the speed could even be said to be astonishing.
After all, from when Gu Qingfeng began cultivating the Nine Heavens Scripture until now, it barely accounts for less than a year.
Even if we include the subsequent time, an overall three years to cultivate from nothing to the Divine Transformation Realm is clearly extraordinary.
Even though Gu Qingfeng had Cultivation on his side, and cultivation would be relatively easier, such speed was incomparable to other Dao Palace Realm cultivators.
The role played by the Ancient Immortal Body was exceptionally significant.
Gu Qingfeng was also comprehending the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill.
This Divine Skill was much more powerful than the Ancient Heavenly Blade; after all, no matter what, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill was created by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint of the past, incomparable to other divine skills.
But precisely because of the strength of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill, Gu Qingfeng had so far not made much progress.
"Each level breakthrough in the Divine Transformation requires two hundred Upgrade Points; with my current thirteen hundred Upgrade Points, even if I put them all into the Nine Heavens Scripture, it's still not enough to cultivate this technique to the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, let alone step into the Dao Palace Realm."
"For now, the Divine Martial Dynasty poses little threat, so it's possible to keep these Upgrade Points temporarily until they can be used later!"
Gu Qingfeng looked at his remaining one thousand plus Upgrade Points, suppressing the thought of utilizing them.
If it were the him from before, he naturally wouldn't leave a single Upgrade Point unused, seizing every possible opportunity to enhance his strength.
But that was because there were too many threats, whether from Magicians or Evil Spirits, hanging over his head like a sharp blade, forcing Gu Qingfeng to enhance his strength as much as possible to deal with the various troubles that could arise at any moment.
But now, the Divine Martial Dynasty wasn't particularly dangerous, and at the same time, Gu Qingfeng's current strength was sufficient to resolve most troubles.
He wasn't in a hurry to use his Upgrade Points to enhance his cultivation.
The best approach was to rely as much as possible on his innate abilities to cultivate the Nine Heavens Scripture, and when progress was no longer possible, use the Upgrade Points to directly breakthrough.
