Chapter 270: Explosive Increase in Strength

Chapter 270: Explosive Increase in Strength

Since the Drought Demon emerged, Gu Yang ordered a thorough investigation of the Nine Provinces.

For a time, the Nine Provinces were in turmoil.

Various evil spirits that had been hiding were all dragged out.

These evil spirits, capable of evading the suppression of the Nine Cauldrons, were at the very least in the Dao Palace Realm. However, under the suppression of the Ten Thousand Souls Pennant, these so-called Dao Palace Realm evil spirits could not cause much trouble.

Over three years, the Nine Provinces were completely renewed.

During these three years, Gu Qingfeng entered a full-time seclusion to cultivate the Nine Heavens Scripture.

In the first year, Gu Qingfeng advanced the Nine Heavens Scripture to the Grand Master Chapter's completion.

For the next two years, he focused on breaking through to the Divine Transformation Chapter.

Inside the Sharpening Hall, a figure sat cross-legged, emanating a terrifying aura of blood and qi. Strange phenomena appeared behind him, causing all the sacred weapons to tremble slightly.

After a long while, a sound like the surging of rivers and streams was heard.

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

"Phew!"

"The Divine Transformation Realm is achieved!"

It took three years for the Nine Heavens Scripture to truly break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

This clearly demonstrated how difficult it was to cultivate this Holy King-level cultivation technique.

However, despite this, the speed at which he reached the Divine Transformation Realm in three years was already astonishing.

Afterward, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information panel.

...

Over three years.

Overall, the Gu Family's bloodline had seen a significant leap in strength.

Firstly,

Gu Yang had advanced from the Second Level of Divine Transformation Realm to the Fourth Level.

Other descendants of the Gu Family had also made varying degrees of breakthroughs.

Among them,

Gu Xiu's improvement was the most astonishing.

He had now directly reached the Fourth Level of Divine Transformation Realm.

The Divine Transformation Realm.

Every three levels form a stage.

Gu Yang's breakthrough to the Seventh Level of Divine Transformation Realm meant he had entered the third stage, which is much more difficult compared to breaking through below the Sixth Level.

As one can see,

even with a defective divine body, Gu Xuan had only managed to reach the Third Level of Divine Transformation Realm.

Gu Yang, despite possessing the fortune of a dynasty and abundant resources, had ultimately only reached the Fourth Level of Divine Transformation Realm.

In comparison,

Gu Xiu's breakthrough to the Seventh Level of Divine Transformation Realm is truly remarkable.

However—

Upon seeing Gu Xiu's current situation, Gu Qingfeng's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Life Forbidden Zone!"

"Even with the protection of a remnant soul of a Great Sage, it's uncertain whether one can safely walk out of such a place!"

Gu Qingfeng was naturally not unfamiliar with the Life Forbidden Zone.

The Life Forbidden Zone,

also known as the Emperor's Fall Land.

In the past, when a Great Emperor fell and their power dissipated, it transformed a section of the void into a forbidden zone, giving rise to various strange phenomena.

Few cultivators who enter the Life Forbidden Zone can survive and walk out.

Moreover,

even if they do survive, they will be burdened with the curse of the forbidden zone, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

Now that Gu Xiu has entered the Life Forbidden Zone, the danger he faces is far more severe than being besieged by other demons.

Instantly,

a surge of killing intent surfaced in Gu Qingfeng's heart.

" Demon Realm!"

"If my son truly perishes in the Life Forbidden Zone, I will make you all pay with your lives!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold, and then he focused his attention on the True Understanding of Array Dao that came with Gu Yang's breakthrough.

He took out a jade talisman, and instantly golden light entered his mind.

In an instant,

a large amount of knowledge about array formations surged into Gu Qingfeng's mind.

The content recorded in the True Understanding of Array Dao, from the basics to the advanced, made Gu Qingfeng feel as if he had studied array formations for hundreds or even thousands of years.

In a moment,

he had gone from knowing nothing about array formations to becoming a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master.

"Sixth Rank Array Dao Master!"

"Capable of trapping and killing Sages with array formations!"

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, and he was secretly amazed by the profundity of the True Understanding of Array Dao.

In the past, without truly engaging with array formations, Gu Qingfeng did not have much understanding of them.

But now, as a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master, Gu Qingfeng realized that array formations also have their unique strengths.

For example, a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master, with sufficient materials and resources, can set up a top-tier formation that can even cause the death of a Sage.

This,

is the power of a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master.

According to the records in the True Understanding of Array Dao, a Tenth Rank Array Dao Master can rival an Emperor Realm existence.

However,

Gu Qingfeng understood that it was currently impossible for him to reach the Tenth Rank Array Dao Master level.

But—

a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master is sufficient.

"The ancient array formations in the Southern Region have already fragmented. I've heard that at least a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master is needed to revive such formations.

Now that I have obtained the True Understanding of Array Dao, it seems I must make a trip to the Demon Realm!"

Upon learning that Gu Xiu had fallen into the Life Forbidden Zone, Gu Qingfeng could not stand idly by.

Previously, he had no means to enter the Demon Realm, so he could only watch helplessly.

But now, things are different.

With his transformation into a Sixth Rank Array Dao Master, there are certain things Gu Qingfeng must try.

Subsequently,

Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingfeng

Age: 60/6000

Realm: Ninth Level Dao Palace Realm

Martial Arts: Heavenly Vein True Scripture (Second Level), Heavenly Blade (Perfected), Vast Wilderness Fist Scripture (Perfected), Divine Sun Scripture (Perfected), Ancient Wasteland Sky Blade (Perfected), Purple Extreme Dao Canon (Perfected), Departing Wind True Scripture (Not Yet Mastered), Nirvana Dao Scripture (Grand Master Chapter Second Level), Heavenly Phoenix Divine Technique (Not Yet Mastered), Nine Heavens Scripture (First Level of Divine Transformation Chapter), Divine Sky Thunder (Perfected)



Enhancement Points: 5752

...

"Five thousand seven hundred and fifty-two enhancement points, it seems I'm still a bit short!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression changed slightly, and he temporarily set aside the idea of enhancing the Nine Heavens Scripture.

Normally,

if he were to convert all his cultivation into the Nine Heavens Scripture, Gu Qingfeng could have long ago perfected it to the Ninth Level of Dao Palace Realm.

After all, with cultivation as a foundation, changing cultivation techniques is not particularly difficult.

However.

Gu Qingfeng is currently cultivating the Nine Heavens Scripture, but it's not as simple as converting his original Divine Sun Scripture's power into the Nine Heavens Scripture.

On the contrary.

He is retaining the power of the Divine Sun Scripture and using it to cultivate the Nine Heavens Scripture.

As a result.

The cultivation of the Nine Heavens Scripture is naturally much slower.

But at the same time.

If the Nine Heavens Scripture also reaches the Ninth Level of the Dao Palace Realm, then Gu Qingfeng will have mastered two Dao Palace Realm Ninth Level techniques.

At that time.

His strength will be even greater.

It's like Gu Qingfeng is currently in the Half Sage Realm, but can rival the strength of a Great Sage Realm cultivator, which is due to his accumulation of many techniques, making his foundation much stronger.

Of course.

The biggest reason is due to the Ancient Immortal Body and the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.

Otherwise.

Gu Qingfeng would still have a significant gap with the Great Sage Realm cultivators.

...

Just then, Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed.

Only to see the information panel on the face, once again, the text appears.

“Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has reached an epiphany, his cultivation suddenly increased!”

“Reward: 700 upgrade points!”

“Reward: 100 Divine Blood Pills!”

“Reward: 100 Nourishing Spirit Pills!”

“Reward: the complete Dao Palace Realm technique 《North Dipper Dao Scripture》!”

...

“Yang Er has broken through again?”

Gu Qingfeng looked at the content on the information panel, feeling a bit puzzled.

After all, the probability of triggering extra rewards is already low, now that Gu Yang has broken through in the Divine Transformation Realm, triggering multiple extra rewards, it's quite unexpected.

But soon, Gu Qingfeng became calm.

"This breakthrough came at the right time!"

Gu Qingfeng then took out the North Dipper Dao Scripture, a beam of divine light entered his brain, and his vital energy suddenly surged.

Boom!

Vital energy wildly shook.

The North Dipper Dao Scripture is just a Dao Palace Realm technique, but as an information panel reward, it's naturally not inferior.

This technique's profoundness surpasses the Divine Sun Scripture by threefold.

When the North Dipper Dao Scripture reached completion, Gu Qingfeng's vital energy became even more abundant, and his strength increased.

But as for how much his strength increased, Gu Qingfeng didn't know.

Next.

Gu Qingfeng saw that he had accumulated over 6,000 upgrade points, his eyes moved, and he directly used all the upgrade points on the Nine Heavens Scripture.

...

"Consuming 2,000 upgrade points!"

"Nine Heavens Scripture broke through the Divine Transformation Chapter!"

"Consuming 500 upgrade points!"

"Nine Heavens Scripture broke through to the Dao Palace Chapter!"

...

At the moment the Nine Heavens Scripture reached the Dao Palace Chapter, Gu Qingfeng's vital energy surged again.

However.

He didn't stop.

Instead, he continued to make the Nine Heavens Scripture break through.

...

Nine Heavens Scripture, Dao Palace Chapter, Second Level!

Nine Heavens Scripture, Dao Palace Chapter, Third Level!

...

Nine Heavens Scripture, Dao Palace Chapter, Fourth Level!

When the Nine Heavens Scripture broke through to the Ninth Level of the Dao Palace Chapter, Gu Qingfeng's vital energy surged.

But.

He didn't stop.

Instead, he continued to make the Nine Heavens Scripture break through.

...

Nine Heavens Scripture, Dao Palace Chapter, Ninth Level!

The Divine Transformation Chapter increased by eight levels, consuming 1,600 upgrade points.

The Dao Palace Chapter increased by nine levels, consuming 4,500 upgrade points.

Two layers of breakthrough.

A total of 6,100 upgrade points were consumed.

When the Nine Heavens Scripture broke through to the Ninth Level of the Dao Palace Chapter, a power more terrifying than the Divine Sun Scripture and North Dipper Dao Scripture was awakened.

Now.

Counting the Nine Heavens Scripture.

Gu Qingfeng has mastered three Dao Palace Realm peak techniques.

"I think with this strength, we should be able to go to the Demon Realm without any issues!"

"Only, I want to break through to the Sage Realm, but I don't have enough upgrade points yet!"

Gu Qingfeng thought.

Breaking through the Dao Palace Realm every level requires 500 upgrade points, but breaking through the Sage Realm requires 2,000 upgrade points.

For Gu Qingfeng, accumulating so many upgrade points will take some time.

But.

He can't wait.

No matter what, Gu Qingfeng needs to go to the Demon Realm.

Otherwise.

Gu Xiu might really fall in the Life Forbidden Zone.
