Chapter 416: Chapter 287: Great-Great-Grandson
“Your assumption is correct, the waters of the Ancient Desolate World are far deeper than we can imagine!”
“Moreover, the origins of the Evil Spirit are certainly not simple. There are some matters that we can only tackle one step at a time.”
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
“But you need not worry too much. As long as I’m here, there shouldn’t be any major problems for a while.”
These words served as a stabilizing force for Gu Yang.
Gu Yang couldn’t help but ask:”Father, what is your current level of strength?”
Gu Yang’s curiosity was warranted.
Gu Qingfeng’s strength had always been a mystery.
No matter how many times he saw his father in action, it always felt like his understanding was being refreshed.
“If I don’t use my other cards, suppressing a typical Great Saint will not be an issue. If I do use them, I might even be able to hold my own against a Quasi Emperor!”
Gu Qingfeng spoke with an air of nonchalance, but his words sent shockwaves through Gu Yang’s heart.
Capable of suppressing a typical Great Saint!
And even able to hold his own against a Quasi Emperor!
In the Ancient Desolate World, the Great Emperor is the ultimate peak.
From ancient times to now, those who could truly reach the Emperor Realm are extremely limited. In a Great Struggle Prosperity Era, it’s uncertain whether anyone could even attain the Quasi Emperor level.
As the mightiest beings below the Great Emperor, every Quasi Emperor is supremely exalted.
Gu Yang never expected that Gu Qingfeng’s current strength could already challenge a Quasi Emperor.
Shock gave way to overwhelming joy.
He had always thought that his father’s strength was only around the Great Saint level, and even holding his own against a Saint King would be uncertain.
Gu Yang discovered that his father had already touched the Quasi Emperor level, how could he not feel elated.
With such a formidable figure in the Divine Martial Dynasty, it was akin to having a stabilizing force.
“However, this world is far more complicated than you think. Not to mention whether the ancient forces have top-tier experts in seclusion, the Life Forbidden Zones themselves contain infinite perils.
Even a Quasi Emperor cannot guarantee invincibility in this era.”
Gu Qingfeng gave his son a profound look before issuing this warning.
Though he knew Gu Yang had always been cautious, he wanted his son to understand the depths of the Ancient Desolate World, to prevent him from assuming that having Gu Qingfeng in the Divine Martial Dynasty meant they could dominate the world without opposition.
“Father, your lesson is well taken!”
Gu Yang’s expression became solemn, immediately suppressing his earlier excitement.
But despite the words.
The significance of having a Quasi Emperor is immense.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the stele:”This stele was left by the Taiyi Divine Dynasty. It contains a trace of Dao Rhythm from a past Quasi Emperor, but with the passage of time, this Dao Rhythm has become extremely weak.
For me, this Dao Rhythm is useless, but for ordinary cultivators, it is quite a fortunate opportunity.
Take this stele back with you and see if you can gain any insights.”
Gu Yang could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the stele. After all, it was something left behind by a Quasi Emperor.
Apart from the Quasi Emperor’s Dao Rhythm above, the stele itself was a remarkable treasure.
Gu Yang took the stele and departed.
Watching the grand hall before him, Gu Qingfeng slightly shook his head:”Taiyi Divine Dynasty… sinister black energy, to truly understand the reality of this world is no easy task.”
Saint Realm Nine Layers!
Still not enough to handle everything.
But Gu Qingfeng also knew that breaking through to the Great Saint Realm was not something that could be rushed.
He would have to wait a while.
After all, during the End of Dharma Era, Saints did not emerge, and to break through in this era, one would have to find other ways; relying solely on one’s cultivation was certainly impossible.
Gu Qingfeng summoned someone.
“Subordinate pays respects to the Manor Master!”
Gu Peng greeted respectfully.
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze fell on the person before him. Over the years, Gu Peng’s cultivation had also made breakthroughs and he had firmly entered the Third Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Gu Peng’s rapid advancement was not due to exceptional talent, but to a large quantity of pills thrusting him forward.
Considering the plethora of pills Gu Qingfeng received from the information panel, including many Divine Blood Pills beneficial to Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, combined with the ample resources of the Gu Family Manor.
As the steward of the Gu Family Manor, Gu Peng’s strength surge was unsurprising.
He was now the steward.
Several years ago, Gu Peng was no longer the Outer Hall Master but had become the steward of the Gu Family Manor, overseeing both the Outer Hall and the Inner Hall, while other individuals took over his previous position.
“How many disciples are in the manor now?”
“Reporting to the manor master, currently, there are eighteen hundred Outer Hall disciples, three hundred and eighty Inner Hall disciples, and thirty-six law enforcement hall disciples!”
Gu Peng answered without hesitation.
For him, the situation of the Gu Family Manor was well within his grasp.
Gu Qingfeng asked:”How is their strength?”
“Most of the Outer Hall disciples are at the Refining Organ Realm, with a hundred in the Master Realm, and three are Great Grandmasters!”
“The Inner Hall disciples number two hundred in the Master Realm and thirty as Great Grandmasters!”
“The thirty-six law enforcement hall disciples, all are Great Grandmasters!”
Gu Peng replied truthfully.
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly.
Strictly speaking, including the law enforcement hall, the Gu Family Manor has a total of fewer than twenty-two hundred disciples.
Out of this number, having three hundred in the Master Realm and sixty-nine as Great Grandmasters was indeed impressive.
No other Martial World force could compare with the Gu Family Manor.
