Chapter 310: Seeking Aid from the Great Void Holy Land

January 3rd, 2025

Gu Qingfeng then proceeded to experiment with other techniques for fusion.

In the end, he had a thorough understanding of the Fusion Panel's capabilities.

The Fusion Panel could only fuse two techniques or divine abilities at a time.

Furthermore, the two techniques or divine abilities to be fused must not exceed a single Great Realm.

For instance, a Great Sage Realm technique could be fused with a Sage King Realm technique, but a Sage King Realm technique could not be fused with a Sage Realm technique.

Next was the matter of consumption.

Fusing a Great Sage Realm technique with a Sage King Realm technique would result in a consumption rate equivalent to that of the Sage King Realm, which meant it would consume the same amount of Enhancement Points as advancing a single stage in the Sage King Realm—10,000 Enhancement Points.

However, if two techniques of the same stage were fused, the consumption would be the sum of both, so two Sage King Realm techniques would require 20,000 Enhancement Points.

But Gu Qingfeng only had two Great Sage Realm techniques and no Sage King Realm techniques.

Therefore, fusing two Great Sage Realm techniques would consume 10,000 Enhancement Points.

There was a catch, though.

Techniques of the same realm but different grades had the same consumption, but their success rates varied.

For example, fusing two Lower-grade Great Sage Realm techniques had an 80% chance of producing another Lower-grade Great Sage Realm technique, a 10% chance of a Middle-grade, a 5% chance of an Upper-grade, a 3% chance of an Ultimate Great Sage Realm technique, a 1% chance of a Lower-grade Sage King Realm technique, and finally, a 0.1% chance of a Middle-grade Sage King Realm technique.

However, if one were to fuse a Lower-grade and a Middle-grade Great Sage Realm technique, the consumption would remain the same at 10,000 Enhancement Points.

The success rate, on the other hand, would be entirely different.

This probability was the same as fusing a Sage King Realm technique with a Great Sage Realm technique.

There was an 80% chance of retaining the highest-grade technique, meaning a Middle-grade Great Sage Realm technique, but there was also a 10% chance of dropping a level, resulting in only a Lower-grade Great Sage Realm technique.

The upper limit, however, was a 0.1% chance of fusing into a technique four grades higher.

This four-grade increase was naturally based on the higher-grade technique among the two being fused.

In other words, the highest possible outcome of fusing a Lower-grade and a Middle-grade Great Sage Realm technique was a Middle-grade Sage King Realm technique.

"The emergence of the Fusion Panel has largely solved the problem of lacking techniques in the future!"

"The further one goes, the harder it is to obtain techniques. If one forcefully breaks through realms, the consumption of Enhancement Points would be astronomical!"

Gu Qingfeng was well aware of how rare high-level techniques were.

Up until now, he only possessed a single Sage King Realm technique.

As for Great Sage Realm techniques, they were even fewer.

Sage King Realm techniques were already this rare, so the upcoming Pre-Imperial and Imperial Realm techniques would undoubtedly be even more scarce.

Perhaps even beyond the Imperial Realm!

Therefore, the Fusion Panel provided Gu Qingfeng with a method to conserve Enhancement Points.

At the same time, each fused technique could instantly perfect Gu Qingfeng's cultivation.

This way, it could maximize his strength.

Looking at the remaining 136 Enhancement Points, Gu Qingfeng temporarily suppressed his urge to fuse techniques.

He had just entered the Great Sage Realm and had no spare Enhancement Points to use.

However, Gu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry.

He needed to familiarize himself with his newfound power after breaking through to the Great Sage Realm.

---

No one knew that in this Withered Law Era, someone had already broken through to the Great Sage Realm.

While Gu Qingfeng was secluded in the Nine Provinces, the Ancient World was already in turmoil.

First was the maleficent uprising.

As time passed, the numerous seals left behind by the Taiyi Imperial Dynasty were broken one by one, and terrifying maleficent forces revived, as if they were about to sweep across the entire Ancient World.

Facing such a formidable force, the Five Domains of the Ancient World joined forces to resist the maleficent, and many unparalleled powerhouses personally stepped forward to suppress the chaos.

East Domain!

Dark fog enveloped the land.

Countless rotting corpses revived, forming an undead tide that threatened to drag all living beings into the abyss of the dead.

Numerous cultivators defended the cities, unleashing various divine abilities and martial arts, creating a terrifying torrent of energy that continuously annihilated these eerie beings.

At this moment, the dark fog surged.

From within the depths of the darkness, a clay figure resembling an ancient deity slowly emerged. Many cultivators, upon seeing it, felt their Sea of Wisdom rumble, as if their minds had suffered a severe spiritual blow.

Ahhhh!!!

Some even let out piercing shrieks as their skin visibly rotted before their eyes, their entire bodies seemingly contaminated by some powerful force, transforming into undead maleficents.

This scene caused the defending cultivators' faces to pale in shock.

"Grandmasters and below, do not look directly at the maleficents with your naked eyes!"

Upon hearing this warning, many cultivators hastily closed their eyes or averted their gazes.

However, despite the reminders, some cultivators with lower cultivation levels were still too slow to react, and their bodies underwent eerie and terrifying transformations.

Boom!

A Grandmaster who was screaming in agony suddenly had his head explode, and his cries abruptly ceased.

The attacker was a powerful Dao Palace Realm expert from the Great Void Holy Land.

His expression was cold and stern, and with a snap of his fingers, dozens of powerful gusts of energy blasted out, instantly killing several cultivators who were on the verge of transforming into maleficents.

At that moment, the clay maleficent took action, its right hand gathering infinite black light as it struck towards the city.

The Dao Palace Realm expert saw this and roared in anger, his body surging with Qi and Blood, like a blazing sun illuminating the sky. His fierce and domineering fist shattered space, attempting to block the maleficent's attack.

In the next instant, the sun-like light shattered.

The Dao Palace Realm cultivator trembled, and blood spilled from his mouth. His face instantly aged and withered.

Defeat!

In a single exchange, he was defeated! When the other cultivators witnessed this scene, their faces turned pale with despair.

The Dao Palace Realm expert was the most powerful cultivator among them, but even he couldn't withstand the maleficent's attack.

The maleficent's strength filled them with hopelessness.

Just as they thought the city was lost, an ancient mirror rose into the sky, emitting supreme divine light that pierced through heaven and earth. The rolling dark fog, upon touching the divine light, began to dissolve at a visible rate.

"Roar!"

The clay maleficent seemed to sense some impending danger and tried to resist with all its might, but it couldn't withstand such an attack.

Finally, when the divine light struck, the maleficent's chest was pierced, and black blood flowed out.

"The Void Ancient Mirror!"

"The Holy Master has taken action!"

The cultivators from the Great Void Holy Land were overjoyed at this sight.

The Void Ancient Mirror was the Great Void Holy Land's most precious treasure, passed down through generations.

Now, with the mirror's appearance, it meant that Yan Lingyun had arrived.

After all, in the entire Great Void Holy Land, only Yan Lingyun had the qualifications to activate the Void Ancient Mirror.

As expected, when the Void Ancient Mirror severely injured the clay maleficent, Yan Lingyun appeared in the air. His Demi-Sage Realm pressure erupted, instantly sweeping across the area.

"All disciples of the Great Void Holy Land, heed my command and join me in exterminating the maleficents!"

As his words fell, Yan Lingyun once again summoned the Void Ancient Mirror. The resplendent holy might descended, and even the clay maleficent seemed to sense some deadly peril, attempting to turn and flee.

However, the Void Divine Light was too fast.

It was so fast that the clay maleficent didn't have time to react.

Just as it made a move, the divine light pierced through its head, and the remaining body was completely melted by the power of the Void Ancient Mirror, turning to ashes in an instant.

As the clay maleficent perished, the other undead creatures that had revived also seemed to lose their vitality and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"It's over!"

Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, their faces showing the relief of having survived a calamity.

Only Yan Lingyun, looking at the blackened earth before him, wore an especially solemn expression.

"Maleficents!"

Yan Lingyun was well aware that the maleficent uprising he witnessed was just a microcosm of the entire East Domain.

The maleficent uprising...

...was far more complex than what they had just witnessed.

Moreover, although the maleficent they had just slain was defeated, Yan Lingyun knew that its strength had already broken through the Demi-Sage Realm's barriers, reaching a level comparable to a Sage.

If it weren't for the use of the Void Ancient Mirror, Yan Lingyun wouldn't have been confident in suppressing the maleficent.

"In this Withered Law Era, Sages remain hidden. Now, even a single maleficent possesses the strength of a Sage. If a stronger maleficent were to appear, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Yan Lingyun's expression grew increasingly grave.

A Sage-level maleficent...

...was something the Great Void Holy Land could withstand.

But what about a Great Sage-level, or even a Sage King-level maleficent? It would be challenging for the Great Void Holy Land to resist, even during its heyday, let alone in this Withered Law Era.

Furthermore, Yan Lingyun was certain that his thoughts were not mere speculation.

After all, maleficents had existed since ancient times, dating back to the primordial era.

In the past, when the Taiyi Imperial Dynasty's might suppressed the ancient world, they still couldn't completely eradicate maleficents, which spoke volumes about their power.

Now...

The Resurgence of Evil.

But the Ancient World no longer has a second Taiyi Imperial Dynasty.

---

"Elder Fu He of the Ninth Peak of the Great Void Holy Land, greets Emperor Gu!"

In the court, Elder Fu He, clad in purple, respectfully bowed to Gu Yang above.

Although he was Gu Xuan's master, Fu He dared not show the slightest disrespect before Gu Yang, nor did he have the audacity to converse as an elder.

For the person before him was the true overlord of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

The matters of the 373 prefectures in the East Domain had already shown Fu He the iron-fisted means of the emperor.

Clearly, the emperor before him was a true overlord.

If he were to offend this person, Fu He could imagine the consequences.

However.

Despite his respect, Gu Yang's expression remained gentle. "Elder Fu, what brings you here?"

Gu Yang was also familiar with Fu He, as he was the master of his second brother.

As such, Gu Yang accorded him some respect.

Although Gu Yang was not only the ruler of the dynasty but also a powerful cultivator at the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm, Fu He, being only at the first level of the Dao Palace Realm, still maintained a respectful demeanor.

Hearing Gu Yang's gentle words, Fu He's heart was set at ease, and he proceeded to get straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, the Great Void Holy Land has been attacked by evil forces, and three prefectures have already fallen, resulting in the loss of over a hundred million cultivators.

Even though the Great Void Holy Land has exhausted all its resources to resist, it is still unable to stop the evil invasion."

"Therefore, I, Fu, have come to request the Divine Martial Dynasty to intervene and support the Great Void Holy Land in repelling the evil forces!"

After speaking, Fu He bowed to Gu Yang.

A plea for help!

Upon hearing Fu He's words, Gu Yang's expression immediately became clear.

Then, he smiled and said, "The Great Void Holy Land and the Divine Martial Dynasty are allies. Now that our ally is in trouble, the Divine Martial Dynasty will naturally offer assistance.

In the coming days, Elder Fu, please stay in the capital, and I will make arrangements for the subsequent matters!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fu He's expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his serious face.

...

After the court session, Gu Yang summoned Gu Yi.

"I want the Imperial Guard to gather all the intelligence on the Great Void Holy Land and the evil disturbances within three days. Can you do it?"

"I will do my utmost!"

Gu Yi accepted the order solemnly.

Then, Gu Yang waved his hand.

Gu Yi bowed and withdrew.

"Evil disturbances!"

"This is quite a troublesome matter."

Gu Yang's expression turned grave.

Evil forces were also causing disturbances in the Nine Domains, but they couldn't stir up much trouble.

After all, with the current foundation and strength of the Divine Martial Dynasty, any evil forces that weren't too powerful could be directly suppressed.

Even if the evil disturbances caused some casualties, they were still within a controllable range.

Moreover.

The biggest factor in maintaining peace in the Nine Domains was the presence of Gu Qingfeng.

As long as he was there, Gu Yang was not worried about the evil forces.

However—

The Nine Domains were not immune to evil invasions.

But in the East Domain, news of evil forces had already spread across the 373 prefectures, although they had not yet caused much commotion.

This time.

The Great Void Holy Land sought help.

This made Gu Yang realize.

The problem of evil disturbances might be more severe than he had imagined.

Three days later.

Gu Yi presented all the gathered intelligence to Gu Yang.

After reviewing all the information, Gu Yang's expression became extremely solemn.

"I didn't expect the situation in the Great Void Holy Land to have deteriorated to such an extent. No wonder Elder Fu He personally came to seek help."

After understanding the matter.

Gu Yang had already made his decision.

Support!

They must support!

The principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'.

Gu Yang understood this well.

The Great Void Holy Land and the Divine Martial Dynasty were allies.

If they allowed the Great Void Holy Land to be destroyed, the next force to face the evil forces might be the Divine Martial Dynasty.

On the contrary.

If the Divine Martial Dynasty sent reinforcements to help the Great Void Holy Land resist the evil invasion, the pressure on the Divine Martial Dynasty would be greatly reduced.

Furthermore.

During the Starlight Imperial Dynasty's invasion, the Great Void Holy Land had also come to their aid.

In terms of both emotions and reason.

Gu Yang could not possibly ignore this matter.

After making his decision.

Gu Yang summoned Shi Zhen and ordered him to lead ten million elite troops, carrying the Godslayer Spear, to the Great Void Holy Land to suppress the evil disturbances.

Shi Zhen accepted the order.

Upon receiving the news, Fu He's expression was filled with joy.

"With the Marquis of State leading the way, I believe this evil disturbance will not pose much of a threat!"

Fu He had also heard of the reputation of the Marquis of State, Shi Zhen.

He was the top general who led the troops to overthrow the Return Origin Dynasty.

The fact that Gu Yang sent him showed the importance the Divine Martial Dynasty placed on the Great Void Holy Land.
