Looking at the scene outside, Gu Xuan felt a sense of being in a dream.
He could only let out a bitter smile.
"This is the strength of my father!"
Recalling the battle within the Grinding Blade Hall, Gu Xuan felt a chill down his spine.
That shouldn’t even be considered a battle.
Simply because he didn’t truly make a move from start to finish.
Just a glance from Gu Qingfeng made him feel like falling into an abyss.
Thinking back to that scene now, Gu Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He had indeed overestimated himself.
Thinking that reaching the Semi-Saint Realm gave him the qualification to battle his own father.
The gap between them hasn’t changed at all.
Whether before or after the breakthrough, in front of such an existence, he was no different from an ant.
Watching Gu Xuan’s departing figure, Gu Qingfeng wasn’t too concerned.
"It’s good to teach this boy a lesson; otherwise, he’d think that reaching the Semi-Saint Realm allows him to act recklessly."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, then withdrew his divine thought observing Gu Xuan.
He wasn’t worried that this battle would cause Gu Xuan to be discouraged.
This battle exposed the opponent to the methods of a true strongman, which would stimulate his desire for strength.
Gu Qingfeng’s view was not wrong.
Gu Xuan walked out of his room.
Unlike three days ago, now Gu Xuan radiated youthful vigor and had a sharp aura he didn’t have before.
When he once again stood before Gu Qingfeng, the latter took a look at him and nodded.
"To overcome a heart demon in three days, it seems that Undying Divine Medicine wasn’t wasted."
"Last time, I was short-sighted!"
Hearing Gu Qingfeng mention the events of a few days ago, Gu Xuan also gave a bitter smile.
"What is father’s current cultivation level?"
"You can consider it as the Great Saint Realm."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him, speaking lightly.
He added a line in his heart.
Before he should break through to the Saint King Realm.
Breaking through to the Saint King.
Only requires ten thousand upgrade points.
Gu Qingfeng already has eight thousand; with another two thousand points, he can directly break through to the Saint King Realm.
Once he breaks through, his strength will transform once again.
Gu Xuan took a deep breath, his expression filled with shock.
Gu Qingfeng: "It’s just the Great Saint, nothing to be so surprised about. The world is deeper than you think.
Many ancient forces and even ancient noble families have foundations beyond the Great Saint level.
And some ancient forbidden zones have Great Emperors sleeping within them.
During the End of Dharma Era, these existences won’t easily awaken, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist!"
These words made Gu Xuan take a cold breath again.
He thought that as the Saint Heir of the Taixu Sacred Land, his vision was broad enough.
He was ultimately shortsighted.
This world is unfathomably deep.
Especially certain hidden powerhouses; Gu Xuan suspected that even the Taixu Sacred Land might not be completely aware of them.
But since this was said by Gu Qingfeng, Gu Xuan, of course, wouldn’t doubt it.
After all, his own father.
Was a Great Saint of the age.
At this level, the things he could come into contact with naturally were not things ordinary cultivators could imagine.
Gu Xuan asked the same question as Gu Yang.
That is, during the End of Dharma Era.
How did Gu Qingfeng achieve the Great Saint?
Gu Qingfeng casually found an excuse to brush it off, and Gu Xuan didn’t ask further.
In the following half year.
Gu Xuan stayed at the Gu Family Manor, sometimes fulfilling his filial duties under Xu Yulan, other times asking Gu Qingfeng about cultivation matters.
Although in terms of cultivation, Gu Xuan had already reached the Semi-Saint level, making no progress possible during the End of Dharma Era.
However, a cultivator’s strength is not only reflected in their cultivation realm; many divine skills are also a part of their overall strength.
Divine skills are difficult to master.
Even with extraordinary talent, Gu Xuan found it not easy to truly cultivate the divine skills of the Taixu Sacred Land to advanced levels.
However, with Gu Qingfeng’s guidance, this problem was naturally resolved effortlessly.
With Gu Qingfeng’s current cultivation realm, observing the divine skills of the Taixu Sacred Land, he could easily discern the essence.
A single casual remark.
Was enough to enlighten Gu Xuan.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill.
Gu Xuan had fortunately received the inheritance of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, naturally possessing the Great Saint’s divine power.
Gu Qingfeng had already cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill to Perfection.
Gu Xuan’s progress in cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill was equally astonishing.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression subtly changed.
He looked toward a certain place in the Nine States, where terrifying auras pierced the sky, accompanied by bloodthirsty and violent energies spreading instantly, shocking the entire Nine States’ cultivators.
In the Ancient Desolate World.
In many places, such phenomena suddenly appeared.
Many ancient entities were startled awake.
Within the Ancient Qin Family.
Qin Xiongdao, who was in seclusion healing his wounds, suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards a certain direction in the void, and a look of astonishment appeared on his serious face.
"This aura... Demon!!"
Qin Xiongdao exited seclusion.
Many strong figures of the Ancient Qin Family appeared one after another.
As soon as they saw Qin Xiongdao, their expressions relaxed, immediately bowing in salute.
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
After the greeting, Qin Zhentian spoke up.
"A natural phenomenon, Ancestor, do you know what caused it?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhentian and many high-ranking members of the Ancient Qin Family turned pale.
This result shocked and surprised them.
Qin Xiongdao: "In my time, I happened to encounter the era of demon chaos, and I am all too familiar with this aura.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, demons emerged as suddenly as they do now, causing immense calamity in the Ancient Desolate World."
"Many forces immediately rose to resist, utilizing various means just to barely repel the demons."
"But even so, our Human Clan suffered severe losses."
"Many of my brothers fell in the battle against the demons!"
A cold killing intent appeared in Qin Xiongdao’s eyes.
Such blood deep hatred.
Even after hundreds of thousands of years, it is hard to truly dissipate.
The moment the demon aura appeared, Qin Xiongdao recalled images from ancient memories.
The Demon Clan has made a comeback.
"Pass down the order, the demon invasion is upon us, let everyone prepare for battle, and I shall go to see the specific situation!"
With these words, Qin Xiongdao directly tore through the void and left.
Many higher-ups of the Qin Family showed worried expressions.
"The Ancestor just recently fought with the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor in Yellow Stone Prefecture and is still not fully recovered from his injuries. If he encounters the Demon Clan now, could it cause problems?"
Qin Zhentian’s expression was firm: "The Ancestor’s skills are peerless, how could mere demons pose a threat? Moreover, with the Ancestor’s methods, even if some supreme powerhouses of the Demon Clan were to emerge, he is surely capable of retreating safely.
For now, follow the Ancestor’s instructions, spread the news of the demon invasion, and prepare all factions!"
It is bound to be an extremely arduous battle.
Might even be more severe than the chaos caused by evil spirits.
Records of the Ancient Qin Family state that each demon invasion brings a catastrophic disaster, with countless human deaths.
Take the last demon invasion, for instance, it nearly depleted the strength of the entire Eastern Domain, and to this day, it has not truly recovered its Primordial Qi.
The threat of the demons is immense.
Even with the depth of the Ancient Qin Family’s resources, Qin Zhentian does not dare to be careless when facing the demons.
Could potentially lead to severe damage to the Ancient Qin Family.
As the Qin Family Master, Qin Zhentian will not take this lightly.
