Gu Qingfeng was somewhat looking forward to the arrival of the era of great contention.
This meant that he could enhance his strength without any scruples.
At present, due to the restraint imposed by the Heavenly Dao, apart from breaking through using Upgrade Points, Gu Qingfeng’s other cultivation techniques couldn’t advance at all when reaching the Saint level.
However, once the Heavenly Dao’s suppression disappeared, Gu Qingfeng could simultaneously enhance other cultivation techniques.
It could save a lot of Upgrade Points.
The most important point.
Was still matters concerning the Gu Family.
If the Heavenly Dao’s suppression disappeared, the Gu Family could have a Saint emerge, and the subsequent Upgrade Points provided would only increase.
As for the things that followed.
Gu Qingfeng remained as before.
He would seclude himself to deduce the Taoist Scripture and occasionally come out to mentor the younger generation of the Gu Family in their cultivation.
It is worth mentioning.
In these years, the lineage of the younger generation in the Gu Family has grown significantly.
Now the number of people in the Gu Family has exceeded one hundred, reaching one hundred fifty-six.
This increase in the Gu Family’s bloodline is something Gu Qingfeng was happy to see.
This is not the total number of people.
Due to the chaos caused by evil spirits and the invasion of nine-layer demon monsters, many of the Gu Family’s younger generation went to the battlefield, and it was normal for a few unlucky ones to die in battle.
Gu Qingfeng did not interfere much with the choices of these juniors.
But overall, the number of cultivators who fell over the years in the Gu Family wasn’t too many, totaling only about twenty.
The Gu Family now having one hundred fifty-six people is significantly more compared to the past.
The most direct benefit brought by such a change is that the Upgrade Points Gu Qingfeng receives each year have increased significantly compared to the past.
Gu Qingfeng not only broke through to the Quasi Emperor Peak, but he also still had more than fifty thousand Upgrade Points left.
When Gu Qingfeng wanted to break through the Emperor Realm, the Upgrade Points needed made him somewhat shocked.
To break through the Emperor Realm.
The required Upgrade Points were one million!
Gu Qingfeng always thought that the Upgrade Points needed to reach the Emperor Realm wouldn’t be too much, at most only one to two hundred thousand.
But now he discovered, from Quasi Emperor Peak to Emperor Realm, it actually required as many as one million Upgrade Points.
But thinking about it carefully.
Gu Qingfeng quickly accepted it.
The Saint King only needed ten thousand Upgrade Points to break through, while reaching a Quasi Emperor required fifty thousand, which is a five-fold difference.
Since there’s a five-fold gap from Saint King to Quasi Emperor, a twenty-fold gap from Quasi Emperor to Emperor doesn’t seem hard to accept.
The existence of the Emperor Realm already stands atop the peak of chaos, regarded as a supreme being.
Even the top Quasi Emperor is merely a slightly bigger ant in the eyes of an Emperor.
Looking over the ancient ages till now, those who could truly match an Emperor as a Quasi Emperor are few and far between.
The Thirteenth Ancestor of the Xia Family is one of them.
Xia Tianjun could match a Great Emperor because he had reached the Quasi-Emperor Limit in cultivation, possessed a Great Success Heavenly Tao Body, and cultivated the Imperial Scripture of the Ancient Xia Family, thereby gaining power comparable to a Great Emperor.
But even so, Xia Tianjun could only barely match a Great Emperor. If truly fighting to the death with a Great Emperor, he would end up being the one to fall.
This shows how great the gap is between a Quasi Emperor and a Great Emperor.
Spending a million Upgrade Points to break through to the Emperor Realm is not something shocking.
"Now the Gu Family has more than a hundred people. Gathering one million Upgrade Points is not easy, but as long as the Gu family bloodline continues, then a million Upgrade Points is not unreachable!"
As Gu Qingfeng thought of this, his mind calmed once more.
For him now, the most important thing is to wait.
As long as he waits, the advantages will always be on his side.
Time slowly passed by.
The revival of ancient evil spirits has brought the situation in the Ancient Desolate World to a severe level.
Many veteran powerhouses have fallen, but many new-generation prodigies have begun to rise.
The situation in various great domains.
has become chaotic and unpredictable.
Only the Eastern Domain, under the rule of the Divine Martial Dynasty, remains in order. Even with the revival of ancient evil spirits, the situation in the Eastern Domain hasn’t completely fallen apart.
Under such circumstances, the power of the Divine Martial Dynasty has continued to steadily grow.
In the blink of an eye.
Another ten years passed.
Gu Qingfeng was one hundred sixty years old.
The Divine Martial Emperor Gu Yang led the officials to Emperor Sun Mountain to hold a heavenly offering ceremony.
The entire Eastern Domain shook.
Twelve-petal Green Lotus Illusions veiled the sky and sun, nine ancient cauldrons arose from Ancestor State, suppressing the eight directions of the Eastern Domain and Ancestor State, exerting destiny’s pressure upon all under heaven.
Evil spirits lacking sufficient power instantly turned to ashes under this destiny’s suppression.
Those evil spirits at the level of natural disasters suffered varying degrees of serious damage, and all went into hiding, daring not to emerge again.
The commotion in the Eastern Domain.
Naturally caught the attention of powerful figures from other major domains.
When they turned their gaze to the Eastern Domain, they beheld the twelve-petal Green Lotus that veiled the sky and sun, with its majestic heavenly might sweeping across Nine Layers Heaven, all the great Taos resonating as if congratulating it.
"Twelve-petal Green Lotus!"
"This is the symbol of the Divine Dynasty!!"
"Unexpectedly, the Divine Martial Dynasty has truly reached this stage—"
Rulers from myriad ancient imperial dynasties and ancient Quasi Emperor Saint Kings from the four major domains all showed expressions of extreme shock, as if the twelve-petal Green Lotus brought them an indescribable shock.
Indeed, that was truly the case.
