"The Undying Divine Medicine was acquired by your father from the Tai Chu Ancient Land. Your elder brother has already used the medicine.
You should have used it earlier too, but later, your father went into seclusion, leaving the matter unfinished.
However, it is not too late now. This Divine Medicine foundational structure is enough to help you reach the Semi-Saint level.
Afterward, you need to hone yourself and quietly wait for the arrival of the Great Struggle Prosperity Era, where you can prove yourself and become a Saint!"
Caused Gu Xuan to have a sudden realization.
Ah, that’s how it is!
No wonder my elder brother’s strength improved so rapidly. More than ten years ago, he had already reached the Semi-Saint Realm.
Comparing with Gu Yang’s cultivation speed, Gu Xuan even questioned whether his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body was real.
But now he understands.
Gu Xuan felt significantly relieved.
He looked at the Undying Divine Medicine and couldn’t help but say, "It’s rumored that the higher the cultivation when consuming the Undying Divine Medicine, the better the effects. Father, why not take the Undying Divine Medicine? It seems a bit wasteful for me to take it."
"For your father, the Undying Divine Medicine is unnecessary. Besides, this Undying Divine Medicine only has some effects for those below the Great Emperor. If I ascend to the Emperor Realm, all characteristics of the Undying Divine Medicine will be completely stripped away."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
This is the dominance of the Great Emperor.
Even before advancing to the Great Emperor, consuming countless Undying Divine Medicines to accumulate several cycles of life—what use would it be?
Once one enters the Emperor Realm, lifespan is thoroughly fixed.
Twelve thousand years!
This is the limit of a Great Emperor.
Below the Great Emperor, with copious amounts of Undying Divine Medicine to supplement, barely half an eternal life can be achieved.
Once ascending to the Emperor Realm, there’s not even a hint of possibility.
Many strong beings still forge ahead to try to prove themselves worthy of the Emperor Realm.
The rarity of the Undying Divine Medicine, which not everyone can find, explains this.
A step to becoming Immortal!
Anyone who seeks the Emperor Realm hopes to extend their lifespan by achieving the fabled Immortal Realm.
Though the hope of becoming Immortal is slim, these strong beings still yearn for it.
When faced with a stronger existence, however long the lifespan, is but an ant.
Some Great Emperors who cannot become Immortal choose to either sit down and die, or enter the Tai Chu Ancient Land, like the Black Abyss Emperor, self-sealing.
Now, in Gu Qingfeng’s view, these dormant Great Emperors are likely waiting for the opportunity to become Immortal.
Why would these Great Emperors persistently sleep in the Tai Chu Ancient Land?
Perhaps some Great Emperors are purely afraid of death, thus preferring to linger half-alive in the Life Ancient City rather than making that final gambit.
Gu Qingfeng is unaware.
Nor does he expect to know so much.
As long as his strength is sufficient, all issues are non-issues.
Listening to Gu Qingfeng’s words, Gu Xuan was also deeply stirred.
This is a level he dared not imagine.
Despite possessing the Divine Body, truly reaching this level isn’t so easily achievable.
The previous Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body bearer merely stopped at the Great Saint Realm.
The pursuit of the Emperor Realm remains incredibly challenging.
Gu Xuan ceased speaking further and directly consumed the Undying Divine Medicine.
With Gu Qingfeng protecting him, even if the power of the Undying Divine Medicine was enormous, it could not truly threaten Gu Xuan.
The abundant power of the Undying Divine Medicine was absorbed and refined by Gu Xuan, causing his cultivation to ascend rapidly.
Taoist Palace Realm Sixth Layer!
Taoist Palace Realm Seventh Layer!
Taoist Palace Realm Eight-Layer!
Taoist Palace Realm Nine Layers!
With the Undying Divine Medicine, Gu Xuan’s cultivation advanced like breaking bamboo, quickly reaching the Peak of the Taoist Palace Realm’s Ninth Layer.
Upon breaking through to this level, Gu Xuan’s aura continued to grow, with a shadow of a Fire Phoenix appearing behind him, exuding a terrifying and scorching aura along with vast pressure.
The Fire Phoenix spread its wings.
Desiring to pierce the heavens.
But in the next moment.
Gu Qingfeng noticed a dreadful force from the Great Tao descending, causing the Fire Phoenix to cry mournfully and ultimately dissipate unnoticeably.
As the Fire Phoenix vanished.
Gu Xuan’s aura became completely stable at the Peak of the Taoist Palace Realm, at a Semi-Saint level.
"Suppression by the Heavenly Dao!"
Gu Qingfeng understood.
This is the suppression from the Heavenly Dao.
Similar to how Gu Yang attempted to reach the Saint Realm in the past, only to end in failure.
With Gu Xuan’s breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of the Taoist Palace Realm, Gu Qingfeng’s Upgrade Points advanced to eight thousand.
Gu Xuan opened his eyes, his face full of emotion.
Breaking through to the Peak of the Taoist Palace Realm’s Ninth Layer and stepping into the Semi-Saint Realm made him truly understand the strength at this level.
Compared to before his breakthrough, now he is significantly stronger.
If he were facing his pre-breakthrough self now.
Gu Xuan is confident he could eliminate him with a single strike.
Is the difference between a Semi-Saint and the Fifth Layer of the Taoist Palace Realm.
The higher a cultivator’s level at the same tier, the more formidable they become.
Gu Xuan looked at Gu Qingfeng with eager eyes.
"Now that I’ve just advanced my cultivation, I’d like to seek instruction from Father if possible!?"
Seeing Gu Xuan’s expression, Gu Qingfeng slightly smiled.
Gu Xuan staggered out of the Grinding Blade Hall, and only after a breeze blew did he suddenly wake up.
