When he reappeared in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, a furious shout erupted instantly.
"Someone has come out!"
"The opportunity is mine, no one shall take it!"
A powerful aura suddenly struck towards Gu Qingfeng, as if to completely annihilate him on the spot.
Yet in the next moment.
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes turned cold, divine light pierced through the void, and all attacks disintegrated instantly.
Immediately after, a terrifying pressure erupted, causing the attacking cultivator’s face to turn horrified, just as he was about to beg for mercy.
The cultivator’s body exploded, instantly transforming into a blood mist scattered in the air.
This scene caused the other cultivators’ faces to change drastically.
Someone finally saw Gu Qingfeng’s appearance clearly and recognized his identity.
"He is Gu Qingfeng!!"
The entire audience was amazed.
In the Human Clan nowadays, these three words are truly thunderous.
The Supreme Emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty, the Gu Family Master, who once severed the arm of an Upper Demon Emperor, guarding the Boundary Domain Channel, his battle achievements are extremely astounding.
These cultivators were silently cursing the person who had just attacked.
If he dared to act against Gu Qingfeng and died, his death was deserved; but if Gu Qingfeng were to take his anger out on them, none of them might leave alive today.
For such a strong person of this level, a Tiaoist Palace Realm is like an ant.
Since Gu Qingfeng’s rise to fame, his hands have been stained with much blood, and his fame was established by a battle in which he wiped out an army of a hundred thousand of the Guiyuan Dynasty.
No one naively believed that Gu Qingfeng was a kind-hearted person.
Gu Qingfeng did not put the present cultivators in his eyes. After slaying the cultivator who tried to intercept and kill him, he merely gave a light sweep of the crowd and then disappeared.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief, with shocked expressions on their faces.
"What a terrifying aura, worthy of being a top powerhouse in the Human Clan, enough to rival a Quasi Emperor, just the aura he emits almost suffocated me!"
An old man in dark robe showed a relieved expression.
Facing such a powerhouse, no matter how strong the heart is, it’s inevitable to feel fear.
This is an emotion born from the instincts of life, hard to truly control.
As if Gu Qingfeng only needed a thought to suppress and kill him.
"Old Lu really hit the iron plate this time, of all people to intercept, attempting to intercept this one, now his death is not unjustified.
Fortunately, Old Lu is just a Loose Cultivator; if there were a Sect Family behind him, they might also be implicated!"
A cultivator sneered.
What he referred to as Old Lu was naturally the person who tried to kill Gu Qingfeng.
The other was a well-known robbery cultivator in the Eastern Domain, his hands stained with much blood, countless major sect cultivators perished at his hands.
But because Old Lu had powerful strength, a strong practitioner of the Nine Layers of the Dao Palace Realm, many forces, although dissatisfied with him, found it difficult to truly besiege him.
It was precisely for this reason.
That Old Lu managed to roam freely until now.
This time he chose the wrong target.
Intercepting Gu Qingfeng!
Even a Saint wouldn’t dare to do so.
From the moment he struck, the outcome was already destined.
Gu Qingfeng returned to the Divine Martial Dynasty, then directly appeared in Jiuyang Mountain.
This place, as the holy mountain of the Divine Martial Dynasty, and the site of the Dragon Vein, had long been defended by the Forbidden Army.
Upon seeing Gu Qingfeng’s arrival, the Forbidden Army leader Wang Hu hastily saluted.
"Subordinate Wang Hu, pays respect to the Supreme Emperor!"
Gu Qingfeng said indifferently, while his Divine Thought covered the entire Jiuyang Mountain, seeing everything in detail.
Three thousand Forbidden Troops!
Their cultivation uniformly in the Divine Transformation Realm.
And the Forbidden Army leader Wang Hu before him was even a cultivator of the First Layer Heaven of the Dao Palace.
Such power, in the Divine Martial Dynasty, is already considered quite strong.
The significance of Jiuyang Mountain is immense.
This place nurtures a Holy-grade Spirit Vein.
Naturally, cannot be lost.
"You wait for me here, no need to follow me."
Gu Qingfeng said indifferently, and without waiting for Wang Hu, he headed directly towards the heart of Jiuyang Mountain.
The Holy-grade Spirit Vein appeared in Gu Qingfeng’s sight.
Over twenty years later, the Holy-grade Spirit Vein had not changed much since then.
For spirit veins, especially Holy-grade ones, even in hundreds or thousands of years, it’s difficult to change much.
Looking at the spirit vein before him, Gu Qingfeng took out the Divine Emperor Tripod, and the Emperor Corpse sealed within suddenly appeared.
At the moment the Emperor Corpse appeared, a horrifying might spread out, instantly pervading the entire Jiuyang Mountain, even affecting the Imperial Palace in the capital.
Such overwhelming Emperor Mighty made all cultivators’ faces change drastically.
"Leader, is there some mutation in Jiuyang Mountain!"
A deputy leader of the Forbidden Army’s face changed drastically; before such a terrifying might, he felt as small and weak as an ant, with his speaking tone unconsciously tinged with fear.
Only Wang Hu, forcing some calmness, said in a deep voice: "The Supreme Emperor personally visited Jiuyang Mountain, no need to panic!"
These three words caused that deputy leader’s face to change again, yet the fear on his face faded substantially.
If that dignitary personally visited, such commotion was normal.
Originally thought that a strong enemy invaded Jiuyang Mountain, it turned out to be a false alarm.
After all, with Gu Qingfeng present, the deputy leader did not think anyone dared to invade.
Even if someone really invaded, so what?
With that Supreme Emperor around, the intruder had no chance to stir up any trouble.
Unconcerned with external disturbances, after Gu Qingfeng took out the Emperor Corpse, he completely buried it within the Holy-grade Spirit Vein.
Using the Spirit Vein as a coffin, burying the Emperor Corpse!
At the moment the Emperor was buried in the Spirit Vein, terrifying Dao Rhythm circulated, fusing with the Holy-grade Spirit Vein’s power, followed by a violent upheaval in Jiuyang Mountain, the once unchanged Holy-grade Spirit Vein underwent a tremendous transformation.
An earth-shattering burst of Spiritual Energy erupted.
The Great Tao’s Divine Rhythm permeated the mountain.
In Gu Qingfeng’s eyes, the Holy-grade Spirit Vein was undergoing a maddening transformation, in an instant, directly ascending one grade, entering the ranks of Divine Grade Spirit Veins.
This elevation by one grade.
Caused the Spiritual Energy condensed by the Holy-grade Spirit Vein to surge tenfold.
The moment the Spiritual Energy surged.
In the sky above the capital of the Divine Martial Dynasty, the illusion of a Sixth Grade Green Lotus reappeared, vast Qi Fortune turned into a torrential current, converging towards the Green Lotus Illusion.
As the massive Qi Fortune gathered, the illusion of the Sixth Grade Green Lotus also became more tangible, hinting at an impending transformation.
"Qi Fortune is rising!"
While handling state affairs, Gu Yang first noticed the dynasty’s Qi Fortune change.
He noticed the Qi Fortune of the Divine Martial Dynasty had risen by fifty percent.
Such substantial evolution in Qi Fortune, though it didn’t elevate the Divine Martial Dynasty directly to an Imperial Dynasty, at least saved hundreds of years of hard work.
The reason for the Qi Fortune rise came from Jiuyang Mountain.
When the Spirit Vein transformed, the surging Spiritual Energy tide already erupted from Jiuyang Mountain, spreading in all directions.
Gu Yang could no longer sit still and directly set off for Jiuyang Mountain.
"Divine Grade Spirit Vein!"
"With the Emperor Corpse buried here, given time it may well ascend to an Imperial Grade Spirit Vein, I’m confident there won’t be any problem!"
Gu Qingfeng felt the immensely rich Spiritual Energy here, with a faint smile on his face.
Imperial Grade Spirit Vein!
It is the most supreme Spirit Vein!
Normally, nurturing an Imperial Grade Spirit Vein isn’t so simple, even some Ancient Noble Families may not possess one.
The birth of an Imperial Grade Spirit Vein requires stringent conditions.
Gu Qingfeng’s method of directly using an Emperor Corpse as a foundation is exceedingly rare.
Emperor Corpse is rare.
The corpse of such a level of a strong person, not everyone can obtain.
