For Gu Yang’s questions regarding cultivation, answering them was an easy task.
Brief and to the point.
In just a few words, Gu Qingfeng made Gu Yang feel enlightened.
Gu Qingfeng placed several bottles of Enlightenment Pills in front of Gu Yang.
"The Enlightenment Pill can help you more easily comprehend the heavens and earth, understand the True Intent of Divine Skills, and nurture your Primordial Spirit from True Intent within the Dao Palace Realm. Comprehending sufficiently powerful True Intent can allow your Primordial Spirit to grow to its limit.
The more stable the foundation at the Dao Palace Realm stage, the easier it will be to break through to the Saint Realm later on."
Gu Qingfeng admonished.
He was also worried that in his pursuit of rapidly advancing in realms, Gu Yang might neglect his foundation.
Gu Yang’s future achievements would certainly be limited.
Although Gu Yang had always been prudent in his actions over the years, Gu Qingfeng still wanted to remind him.
After all, the path Gu Yang had walked so far had been too smooth.
Not yet a hundred years old.
He had already become the ruler of a dynasty, and his cultivation even broke through to the Sixth Layer of the Dao Palace Realm.
But after the Dao Palace Realm, each breakthrough within it is far more difficult than the previous ones.
If Gu Yang lingered too long in the Dao Palace Realm, it was inevitable he’d develop some different thoughts.
Gu Qingfeng naturally wanted to remind him first.
The latter nodded: "Father’s admonition, I have always kept in mind!"
Gu Qingfeng did not stay long in the Imperial Palace, after leaving it, he first returned to Gu Family Manor.
Gu Qingfeng left Gu Family Manor.
Without alarming anyone.
Before leaving Gu Family Manor, Gu Qingfeng left a drop of Essence Blood within the Grinding Blade Hall. If anything happened within the Divine Martial Dynasty, someone could go to the Grinding Blade Hall and activate the power of the Essence Blood.
At Gu Qingfeng’s level of cultivation, a single drop of his Essence Blood could suppress a Saint on a certain level.
In today’s End of Dharma Era, it was enough to solve most issues.
Once the Essence Blood was activated.
Gu Qingfeng would also be aware.
After leaving a drop of Essence Blood, Gu Qingfeng no longer concerned himself with the affairs of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Tai Chu Ancient Land.
Gu Qingfeng stepped into this ancient forbidden zone that made people shudder.
"It is said that the Tai Chu Ancient Land is the burial site of an Ancient Great Emperor. Once, an ancient clan guarded the Emperor’s corpse here to prevent outsiders from disturbing it.
Later, the Emperor’s corpse became inauspicious, and the entire clan guarding it died in one night. The surrounding billions of miles were all contaminated by the inauspicious power, eventually turning into a forbidden zone!"
In Gu Qingfeng’s mind, records of the Tai Chu Ancient Land appeared.
An Imperial Clan guarded this place.
Is the origin of the Tai Chu Ancient Land.
Since the fall of the Tai Chu Imperial Clan, countless years have passed, and many cultivators have ventured into the Tai Chu Ancient Land, seeking the resources left by the ancient clan.
Attempting to obtain the Great Emperor’s inheritance.
The Tai Chu Ancient Land is perilous.
Almost everyone who stepped into this place fell and could not emerge alive.
A few managed to leave alive, but were cursed by strange influences, eventually meeting their ends in various ways.
Despite the dangers and uncanny nature of the Tai Chu Ancient Land, Gu Qingfeng still ventured in.
Any forbidden zone or perilous land.
Shared a common characteristic.
That is, if one’s strength is sufficient, so-called dangers can be ignored.
Gu Qingfeng believed with his current strength, and all his trump cards in play, plus an Imperial Weapon in hand, he had the confidence to face even a Quasi Emperor.
And although the Tai Chu Ancient Land is perilous, it was unlikely to leave behind a Quasi Emperor.
The strange transformations in such forbidden zones ultimately stem from the inauspiciousness of an Emperor’s corpse.
Even a terrifying fallen Great Emperor, in Gu Qingfeng’s view, at most equated to a Quasi Emperor.
Gu Qingfeng naturally had enough confidence.
Even in the worst-case scenario.
He could retreat unscathed without much trouble.
The reason for entering the Taichu Forbidden Zone was that Gu Qingfeng sought to temper himself against stronger foes, further enhancing his own power.
he aimed to find the relics left by the former Taichu Imperial Clan.
Cultivation techniques!
These are what Gu Qingfeng needed.
If Cultivation Techniques of the Dao Palace Realm were considered precious, then those of the Saint Realm and higher were truly rare.
To maximize the fusion panel’s potential, Gu Qingfeng needed to acquire corresponding cultivation techniques.
As it was once an ancient imperial clan, there might be Imperial Scriptures left by the Taichu Imperial Clan.
If the Imperial Scriptures could be obtained, the benefits would be self-evident.
is why Gu Qingfeng entered the Taichu Ancient Land.
Since entering the Taichu Ancient Land, Gu Qingfeng sensed the extraordinary nature of this place.
The ground was pitch black.
The sunlight and moonlight seemed unable to penetrate into the Taichu Ancient Land.
A chilling wind howled, as if piercing straight to the bone, and only someone of Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation could remain unafraid of these eerie phenomena.
Gu Qingfeng discovered that ever since he entered the Taichu Ancient Land, there seemed to be an eerie gaze constantly watching him from the shadows, and it felt as if something was clinging onto his back, slowly sucking away his essences and blood.
Gu Qingfeng halted his steps, and a terrifying aura, like the blazing sun, exploded from him, instantly dispersing all the chilling aura around him.
A piercing, shrill scream rang in his ears.
Gu Qingfeng abruptly turned and struck out ahead with his palm.
A shadowy figure twisted violently, then dissipated completely.
With the shadow’s disappearance, the chilling aura around Gu Qingfeng vanished instantly.
Gu Qingfeng slightly raised his brow.
The existence of the shadow resembled something eerie, yet there were significant differences.
If it were something eerie, Gu Qingfeng would have detected it long before it approached him.
But the shadow’s presence was different.
If it weren’t for Gu Qingfeng’s keen perception noticing his essence and blood being drained, he wouldn’t have realized there was a shadow clinging to his back.
Given his current cultivation, if it had been any other cultivator, the consequences could be easily imagined.
Gu Qingfeng had truly witnessed the dangers of the Taichu Ancient Land.
Gu Qingfeng acted with increasing caution.
As he delved deeper into the Taichu Ancient Land, the shadows he initially encountered had now become more frequent and dense.
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t even remember how many shadows he had slain.
Gu Qingfeng halted again.
Before him, a blood-red coffin lay quietly, amidst an eerie silence, amplifying the terror of the surroundings.
The red substance on the coffin slowly moved, dripping like blood onto the ground.
Gu Qingfeng’s face turned cold. The Evil Slayer Blade on his back unsheathed with a resounding clang, terrifying vital energy rushing into the imperial weapon. In an instant, a blood-red blade wind shattered the void, smashing into the coffin.
The coffin bore the blow from the imperial weapon, exploding instantly and scattering countless fragments and blood everywhere.
a mummy, clad in tattered clothes, covered in green fur, its true face indistinguishable, appeared before Gu Qingfeng.
The moment the mummy appeared, it let out a furious roar. A terrifying pressure burst from its body, and the next moment, the mummy vanished from its original spot.
A putrid stench assailed Gu Qingfeng as cold light flickered before him.
The mummy’s hands, with long sharp claws, aimed directly at Gu Qingfeng’s chest, as if to tear open his chest and extract his heart.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng slashed out with the Evil Slayer Blade, effortlessly severing the mummy’s arms. Black blood gushed from the wounds.
The blade continued its momentum, slicing through the mummy’s neck, decapitating it.
The mummy’s head fell to the ground as its body staggered and toppled forward.
Then, in Gu Qingfeng’s view, all the green fur slowly dissipated, revealing its true face.
