Before breaking through the Saint King Realm.
If Gu Qingfeng doesn’t utilize the power of the Three Great Heavenly Veins and other trump cards, his true strength should be around the seventh or eighth layer of the Saint King Realm.
But now, having one breakthrough in the Saint King Realm, Gu Qingfeng’s strength soared to the Half-step Quasi-Emperor Realm.
With his cultivation breakthrough, his strength could rival that of a true Quasi Emperor.
But now, looking at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Gu Qingfeng’s breakthrough in cultivation still falls short by a margin.
From this, it’s also clear.
After the Saint King, the gap between each level is considerable.
Now cultivating the Ancient Divine King Body, it allows Gu Qingfeng’s physical body to rival a Quasi-Imperial Weapon, giving him the real power to contend with a Quasi Emperor.
If he uses the power of the Heavenly Vein, then even without using an Imperial Weapon, Gu Qingfeng can wrestle with a peak Quasi Emperor.
If he further employs an Imperial Weapon.
Gu Qingfeng believes.
Below the Great Emperor.
There should be very few who can threaten him.
If there are strong individuals in the Quasi-Emperor Realm wielding Imperial Weapons, they can still pose a threat to him.
After all, the Heavenly Vein True Scripture is ultimately an external force, not a sustainable method.
Now with the cultivation of the Ancient Divine King Body, Gu Qingfeng finds the pressure of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture significantly reduced.
The usage time of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture is greatly related to the cultivator’s physical body; only a sufficiently strong body can withstand the sudden surge of power.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel.
Realm: Saint King Realm First Layer
Martial arts: Heavenly Vein True Scripture (third layer), Heavenly Blade (Perfect), Great Wilderness Fist Scripture (Perfect), Ancient Heavenly Blade (Perfect), Purple Extreme Dao Scripture (Perfect), Lei Feng Scripture (Perfect), Nirvana Dao Scripture (Dao Palace Chapter Ninth Layer), Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill (Perfect), Nine Heavens Scripture (Great Saint Chapter First Layer), Divine Sky Heavenly Thunder (Perfect), Nine Yang Tao Scripture (Perfect), Ten Thousand Spirit Taoist Scripture (Perfect), Abyss Scripture (Saint King Chapter First Layer), Ancient Divine King Scripture (Dao Palace Chapter Ninth Layer) (slightly)
Although Gu Qingfeng has cultivated the Ancient Divine King Body to the Small Success stage this time, it is ultimately just a part of the Ancient Divine King Scripture, so in the attribute panel, the Ancient Divine King Scripture is still at the Dao Palace Chapter level.
As for the Abyss Scripture.
Gu Qingfeng has naturally cultivated it to the Saint King Chapter level.
Other cultivation techniques and divine skills are basically stepping into the Perfection level.
After all, with Gu Qingfeng’s current cultivation and insight, many divine skills are nothing in his eyes, and achieving Perfection is not much of a challenge.
These divine skills no longer hold much significance for Gu Qingfeng.
It’s probably as material for future fusion.
Gu Qingfeng has no intention to fuse yet.
After all, to fuse, there must be sufficient cultivation techniques and divine skills as material, and ample upgrade points.
To break through the Saint King Realm, Gu Qingfeng has used up the foundation accumulated over these years.
In the following long period, seeking another breakthrough won’t be as easy.
Each breakthrough in the Great Saint Realm requires only five thousand upgrade points, but entering the Saint King Realm, each enhancement requires ten thousand upgrade points.
Even with the current number of Gu Family juniors, collecting enough is a time-consuming task for Gu Qingfeng.
There’s the aspect of lifespan.
A Saint King can live a thousand years longer than a Great Saint.
Gu Qingfeng’s lifespan now is exactly nine thousand years. With further breakthroughs, reaching the threshold of ten thousand years is quite easy.
"Quasi Emperor ten thousand years!"
"Great Emperor twelve thousand years!"
"These are the limits every cultivator can reach; to continue living, either self-sleeping like other Great Emperors within forbidden ancient sites, which isn’t much different from being dead.
Or stepping into the Immortal Realm to seek the path of immortality!"
"Back then, the Taiyi Divine Dynasty attempted such a method, but unfortunately, they failed—"
Looking at his attribute panel, Gu Qingfeng sees that currently, lifespan is merely a number to him.
So far, he’s just slightly over a hundred years old, and a lifespan of nine thousand years is quite lengthy.
If further advanced, breaking through to ten thousand years or even twelve thousand, time would be even more ample.
A few thousand years could witness the vast changes of seas turning into land, the rise and fall of empires, the shifts of time.
This span of time is no trivial matter.
If really reaching the point where lifespan dwindles, there would inevitably be a sense of crisis.
"The affairs of the Immortal Realm aren’t for now to consider; I am merely at the Saint King Realm. Until one day, after reaching the peak of the Great Emperor, it will be the time for other preparations!"
"The Taiyi Divine Dynasty failed; it doesn’t mean I will fail as well!"
"If at the peak of the Great Emperor, combined with the power of the Nine Great Heavenly Veins, at that time, what extent could my strength breakthrough to, and whether I could break the stalemate of the Ancient Times!"
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze subtly moved, even just imagining it stirred some excitement within him.
Nine Great Heavenly Veins!
Peak of the Great Emperor!
If these two appear simultaneously, the unleashed power must surely be unimaginable.
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to return to the Ancient Desolate World, suddenly, a violent disturbance arose in the depths of the starry sky, as if terrifying forces were stirring the chaos, an extremely violent aura had already surged in.
