Chapter 395: The News of the Primordial Immortal Body

Chapter 395: The News of the Primordial Immortal Body

The battle in the Primordial Ancient Land.

It shocked the entire Ancient Realm.

Thirteen Ancestors of the Primordial Xia Clan, Summer Tianjun, were defeated, and the old ancestor of the Divine Wu Gu Clan dealt a heavy blow to an ancient Emperor. Meanwhile, the Primordial Xia Clan submitted to the Divine Wu Imperial Dynasty. These pieces of news swept through the world like a hurricane.

All factions were left speechless by this news.

Who could have imagined that in such a short time, the situation in the Eastern Domain would undergo such a dramatic reversal?

Initially, the three Emperor Clans were pressing hard, and the Divine Wu Imperial Dynasty was on its last legs. All factions were eager to see the Divine Wu Imperial Dynasty fall.

However, after the battle in the Primordial Ancient Land, everything changed.

Emperor!

The old ancestor of the Divine Wu Gu Clan has finally reached the Emperor level.

Although he has not yet fully ascended to the rank of Emperor, his strength is already on par with that of a regular Emperor.

No!

Even stronger than a regular Emperor.

You saw how an ancient Emperor attacked and was cut off at the arm by a single blow, ending up fleeing in disgrace.

This clearly demonstrates the terrifying power of that old ancestor of the Gu Clan.

Moreover.

The events in the Primordial Ancient Land have also shocked many factions.

Most factions did not expect that there would still be ancient Emperors slumbering in the Life Prohibited Zones, and it seems that there are more than just one Emperor.

If the Primordial Ancient Land can have an Emperor, then it means that other Life Prohibited Zones may also have Emperors slumbering.

This indirectly suggests that the waters of the Ancient Realm are far deeper than imagined.

However—

These are all secondary matters.

The submission of the Primordial Imperial Clans.

It left many factions in the Eastern Domain in a state of mourning.

Especially the Eastern Profound Holy Land and the Primeval Era Zhou Clan, who now feel as if they have swallowed a dead fly.

Inside the Primordial Xia Clan.

An Empire Aspirant from the Eastern Profound Holy Land and an Empire Aspirant from the Primeval Era Zhou Clan are now present, their faces dark and gloomy.

"Summer Daoist, are we three Emperor Clans truly to submit to a newly established imperial dynasty?"

The speaker is the Empire Aspirant of the Primeval Era Zhou Clan, Zhou Lie. As his name suggests, he is a man of fiery temper, and he immediately questioned with a tone of anger.

Hearing Zhou Lie's words, Summer Tianjun's eyes turned cold, his pale golden pupils flashing with a cold light. A terrifying aura emanated from him, causing Zhou Lie's face to change instantly.

"Are you questioning this Emperor?"

Summer Tianjun's face was icy.

Although he had been defeated by Gu Qingfeng, he was still the thirteenth ancestor of the Xia Clan, a supreme strongman of the Desolate Ancient Era who once rivaled Emperors.

Even as an Empire Aspirant of the Primeval Era Zhou Clan, Zhou Lie was no match for him.

At this moment, Zhou Lie realized he had been too impulsive. This person was not someone he could afford to offend.

Despite his fiery temper, he understood what he could and could not afford to offend.

Otherwise, he would not have reached this point.

"Zhou Daoist has always been like this, Summer Daoist, why get angry!"

At this moment, the old ancestor of the Eastern Profound Holy Land, Gu Shenji, chuckled and tried to ease the tension, significantly alleviating the previously oppressive atmosphere.

He wore a purple Daoist robe, looking like a middle-aged man, with eyes as deep as the stars, and a faint smile always on his lips.

Seeing Gu Shenji speak, Summer Tianjun glanced at him indifferently and did not truly get angry.

"The old ancestor of the Divine Wu Gu Clan, I believe you are all aware of his strength, which is on par with that of an ancient Emperor, and even surpasses it!"

"When the Da Zheng Prosperous Era arrives, he will surely ascend to the rank of Emperor. With his strength, who could rival him? Even the ancient Emperors in the Life Prohibited Zones would have to retreat in the face of his power!"

Summer Tianjun's words left the two men silent.

It was undeniable.

The strength of that old ancestor of the Gu Clan was indeed terrifying.

Not an Emperor.

But as powerful as an Emperor!

Throughout history, the number of strongmen who could achieve such a level at the Empire Aspirant stage could be counted on one hand.

Any strongman who reaches this level is destined to become an invincible Emperor.

"A strongman of this caliber, the Xia Clan cannot afford to fight to the death with him. Moreover, over the countless years, the Eastern Domain has not been without the emergence of divine dynasties. No faction can remain at its peak forever, even the Imperial Clans are no exception.

The Taiyi Divine Dynasty once dominated the Ancient Realm, with countless factions bowing to its might. But what was the ultimate outcome?

Furthermore, with the emergence of the Primordial Evil Spirits and the invasion of the Demon Clan, the signs of a great calamity are already evident. In such a situation, there must be a faction that stands up to lead humanity in resisting the calamity!"

"Without any surprises, the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty is undoubtedly the supreme power that will dominate this era’s great calamity!"

Summer Tianjun spoke slowly.

The ancient Xia family’s foundation was certainly not to be underestimated. If they truly went all out, they could even challenge an Emperor.

However.

What good would it do to challenge an Emperor?

Both sides would end up severely weakened.

And that would only benefit others.

Moreover.

As Summer Tianjun had said, a great calamity was approaching, and someone had to step forward to lead the human race through it.

Throughout history.

During every great calamity, there would always be powerful figures who emerged as leaders of their era.

Clearly.

The Shenwu Imperial Dynasty was one such entity.

Of course.

The ancient Xia family could also step forward, but the cost would be enormous. Any misstep could deplete the family’s accumulated strength over countless years.

Given this situation, Summer Tianjun naturally did not wish to clash head-on with the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty.

Of course.

If the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty were too weak, that would be a different matter.

A weakling!

Had no right to make the ancient imperial clans bow.

However, it was clear that Gu Qingfeng’s strength had earned Summer Tianjun’s recognition.

Hearing this, both men fell silent.

After a moment, Gu Shenji said solemnly, "Since the ancient Xia family has made its decision, the three Emperor clans will naturally stand together. This time, let the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty win one round.

However, have you considered what we should do if the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty becomes another Taiyi Divine Dynasty?"

"Taiyi Divine Dynasty..."

Summer Tianjun shook his head slightly.

"Has there ever been a second Taiyi Divine Dynasty over all these years?"

"Throughout the endless ages, many divine dynasties and invincible Emperors have appeared, but no force has ever been able to match the glory of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

For the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty to achieve that, to be honest, they don’t have the qualifications yet!"

He paused for a moment.

Then, Summer Tianjun changed the subject.

"Of course, if the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty can truly recreate the might of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, it might not be a bad thing. The Taiyi Divine Dynasty once tried to elevate their entire dynasty, opening the Immortal Gate, which ultimately led to the descent of Evil Spirits and the outbreak of the Primordial Cataclysm.

However, behind the Immortal Gate, there are not just Evil Spirits, but also opportunities for immortality.

We cultivators strive for immortality through years of hard work.

If the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty can truly open the Immortal Gate, we might have a chance to achieve immortality by taking a bold step!"

As he spoke, ambition shone in Summer Tianjun’s eyes.

Immortality!

This was what all the great figures throughout history had pursued.

All the ancient Emperors who slumbered ultimately sought nothing more than immortality.

However.

Immortality was hard to attain.

The Immortal Gate.

Was not something anyone could open.

Moreover, behind the Immortal Gate were Evil Spirits capable of triggering the Primordial Cataclysm. Venturing in recklessly might not guarantee entry into the immortal realm behind it.

Summer Tianjun always regretted not being born in the era of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty. Otherwise, he could have witnessed the opening of the Immortal Gate and fought for the opportunity of immortality.

Hearing this, the two men’s expressions changed.

Clearly.

Immortality held a great allure for them as well.

"Since that’s the case, let’s see just how far the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty can go!"

—

After the battle in the Primordial Ancient Land ended.

The entire Eastern Domain seemed to return to peace.

Apart from the chaos caused by demons and the troubles brought by Evil Spirits, the wars between various factions had calmed down.

In fact.

All the forces in the Eastern Domain were waiting, watching the movements of the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty and the three Emperor clans.

Before the situation was truly settled, no one dared to make a rash move.

Otherwise.

The overwhelming tide of events could turn even the most ancient sanctuaries to ashes.

At the same time.

In Ancestor Province.

In the imperial capital of the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty, within the palace.

Gu Yang sat on the imperial throne, with ministers and officials standing on either side. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the three figures in the center.

These three were the head of the ancient Xia family, the patriarch of the Dongxuan Holy Land, and the patriarch of the Primeval Era Zhou family.

Now, the leaders of these three Emperor clans all wore expressions of deep respect.

Their purpose in coming here was, of course, to fulfill their earlier promise and swear allegiance to the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty.

Gu Yang’s expression was calm. "The three Emperor clans are the pillars of the human race. I naturally do not wish for us to resort to conflict. The current situation in the Eastern Domain is chaotic, with various factions in constant internal strife, weakening our collective strength.

For the Shenwu Dynasty to unify the Eastern Domain and end the long-standing turmoil, we will need the support of the three Emperor clans!"

"Your Majesty is concerned for the entire world, and the three Emperor clans will naturally support you. Whenever we can be of use, we will not hesitate!"

Xia Chunqiu smiled, showing no signs of the recent conflict between the three Emperor clans and the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty.

Seeing Xia Chunqiu's understanding, Gu Yang naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

After all.

Despite the Three Emperors Clan's current submission, their foundation was still formidable. As long as they didn’t obstruct the path of the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yang didn’t want to tear things apart and fight to the death with them.

However, if the Three Emperors Clan insisted on opposing the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty, that would be a different story.

But.

After the battle in the Primordial Ancient Land.

The Three Emperors Clan no longer had the courage to stand against the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty.

With the Three Emperors Clan now submitting, Gu Yang could use their strength to accelerate the unification of the entire Eastern Domain.

As news of the Three Emperors Clan’s leader appearing in Ancestor Province and their public declaration of submission to the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty spread, the entire Eastern Domain was once again thrown into turmoil.

No one understood.

With the submission of the Three Emperors Clan.

The momentum of the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty was now unstoppable.

At the same time.

An imperial edict was issued from Ancestor Province, spreading throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

The content of the edict was simple: it ordered all major forces to submit to the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty. If they refused, the Shenwu army would lay siege to their strongholds, leading to the destruction of their clans.

When this edict spread throughout the Eastern Domain, many forces fell silent.

…

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' met with the leader of the Three Emperors Clan and accepted their submission!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' issued an edict throughout the Eastern Domain, ordering numerous forces to submit to the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty, or face the destruction of their clans!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang's' reputation has spread throughout the Eastern Domain, and the might of the Shenwu Emperor instills awe in all!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang'…"

…

Returning to Wilted Mountain Immortal City, Gu Qingfeng looked at the text on the information panel and understood that Gu Yang had begun his steps toward dominating the entire Eastern Domain.

"Three Emperors Clan submits!"

"The battle in the Primordial Ancient Land has shattered the last shred of resolve among many forces in the Eastern Domain. It won’t be long before the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty unifies the entire Eastern Domain. At that time, the ascension to a Divine Dynasty will be a certainty!"

Gu Qingfeng felt a sense of anticipation. Once the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty ascended to a Divine Dynasty, the benefits he would receive would only increase.

During the last ascension, Gu Qingfeng had gained many benefits and used that opportunity to break through to the Empire Aspirant realm.

Based on the pattern of the information panel, the last ascension to an Imperial Dynasty had granted him 100,000 enhancement points. If it were an ascension to a Divine Dynasty, he could expect 200,000 to 300,000 points.

With such a boost.

Gu Qingfeng might even be able to break through to the Great Emperor realm in one go.

Thinking about this.

Gu Qingfeng’s restless heart calmed down.

At his level, there were few things that could shake his spirit. Even the news of the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty’s imminent ascension to a Divine Dynasty only caused a brief surge of excitement before he regained his composure.

Then.

Gu Qingfeng reviewed his battle with Summer Tianjun.

In that battle.

He had used his physical body to clash with an Imperial Weapon.

The subtle mysteries of the Primordial Immortal Body seemed to be revealed.

Gu Qingfeng had a great curiosity about this immortal body.

"The Primordial Immortal Body, as the most ancient immortal body in the world, must have far greater potential. Unfortunately, I have yet to find any records about the Primordial Immortal Body."

Gu Qingfeng mused.

If he continued to fight powerful opponents, there was a chance he could forcibly unlock the potential of the Primordial Immortal Body, but this would be extremely difficult.

Thinking about this.

Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts turned to the Three Emperors Clan.

"The Three Emperors Clan is ancient, especially the Xia family, which has continued from the Primordial Era to the present. They might have records about the Primordial Immortal Body!"

With this in mind, Gu Qingfeng took out a communication jade token and informed Gu Yang about this, asking him to gather information about the Primordial Immortal Body from the Three Emperors Clan.

It took only half a day for this message to spread.

The communication jade token vibrated.

Gu Qingfeng’s divine consciousness entered it, and a large amount of information immediately emerged.

"Primordial Immortal Body!"

"The most ancient immortal body in the world!"

"According to legend, the divine emperor who founded the Taiyi Divine Dynasty possessed the Primordial Immortal Body—"
