Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"Which force does Father plan to move against first?"

Gu Yang asked.

Gu Qingfeng's expression was indifferent, "Which force is the strongest?"

"The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land was founded six hundred thousand years ago, and a hundred thousand years ago there emerged a Saint King Realm powerhouse who surpassed the Great Saint. In terms of foundational strength, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land is presumably the strongest."

"Then we'll target the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land!"

Gu Qingfeng spoke in a nonchalant tone.

Gu Yang's expression turned serious, "The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land has the backing of the Saint King, if we truly act against the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, does Father have confidence?"

"Among the many forces that have made their move in the Southern Domain, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land is the strongest. If we resolve the issue with the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, there would be no subsequent troubles.

If we were to act against other forces, it would hardly serve as a deterrent."

Gu Qingfeng shook his head; if the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land is the strongest, then naturally he would have to target the strongest first.

Having dealt with the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land,

the matters that followed would be very simple.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng so resolute, Gu Yang did not oppose any further.

"Alright, I will handle the affairs of the Southern Domain myself. You just stay in the Nine States."

As Gu Qingfeng's voice fell, his figure disappeared from the Imperial Study Room.

From beginning to end,

Gu Yang never noticed how exactly Gu Qingfeng disappeared, as if the other party was only an illusory phantom.

Seeing this,

Gu Yang's reverence for Gu Qingfeng grew even deeper.

Afterward,

He summoned the Nanyue Mountain, ordering the Heavenly Patrol Guard to intensify their surveillance of the Nine States. He also summoned Gu Yi and commanded the Hidden Guard to closely watch for news from the Southern Domain.

Gu Yang was well aware that with Gu Qingfeng personally taking action, huge waves would surely be stirred.

The existence of the Divine Martial Dynasty was already extremely sensitive, with countless eyes watching over it. Now that Gu Qingfeng was stepping in, there was bound to be some disturbance.

Speaking bluntly,

if anything unexpected happened to Gu Qingfeng, the Divine Martial Dynasty was destined for turmoil, and its destruction could happen in the blink of an eye.

...

Brilliant rainbows of light

Sliced through the sky.

Having broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Taoist Palace Realm and stepped into the Half-Saint Realm, Gu Qingfeng's speed of flying through the air had become unimaginably faster than before.

To other Cultivators, all they saw was a rainbow streaking across the sky like a flash of light, almost unable to capture his figure.

"Bang!"

As Gu Qingfeng entered the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, a giant bird-like Fierce Beast swooped down upon him, but in the next breath its body exploded, turning into a shower of blood raining down.

A Fierce Beast comparable to the Dao Palace Realm had perished just like that in an instant.

This scene

Made some cultivators training in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range constrict their pupils in shock.

"Hisss, what was that thing that instantly killed a Dao Palace Realm Fierce Beast!"

"Terrifying... There's a terrifying presence in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range!!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly—"

These cultivators all had looks of terror and quickly left the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

Joking aside,

A Dao Palace Realm Fierce Beast was killed in a single encounter, and they couldn't even see who the person taking action was.

This meant that the one who acted must have strength that absolutely crushed the ordinary Dao Palace Realm, or it was even possible that they had already stepped into the Half-Saint level.

More importantly,

They had no idea whether the one who acted was human or a Fierce Beast.

If it was a Half-Saint Realm Fierce Beast, then they were all going to die.

Therefore,

They dare not linger.

Elsewhere,

Gu Qingfeng had already left the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

As he stepped into the Eastern Domain, he immediately felt an even more majestic nature's spiritual energy rushing toward him.

"With such nature's spiritual energy, it's several times denser than in the Nine States, no wonder there are so many powerhouses in the Eastern Domain, such an environment is truly blessed!"

Gu Qingfeng enjoyed the spiritual energy here; with every breath, his qi and blood seemed to be faintly boiling, even now the Nine States could not compare to the Eastern Domain.

But,

Despite the abundant spiritual energy in the Eastern Domain, there was none flowing toward the Nine States.

It was as if the Ancient Beast Mountain Range was a barrier, completely isolating all the spiritual energy of the Eastern Domain.

However,

Gu Qingfeng did not delve too deeply into this.

It was not a major issue that the Nine States lacked nature's spiritual energy; it could be gradually improved upon later.

"Just right!"

"I can use the people from the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land to bolster the spiritual energy of the Nine States!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes chilled slightly, and soon he casually stopped a cultivator, inquiring about the location of nearby cities.

The cultivator who was stopped didn't want to answer, but when Gu Qingfeng showed a bit of his strength, the other party gave out the answer outright, even kindly indicated the direction.

For this,

Gu Qingfeng tossed them a Divine Blood Stone and then departed.

"This Divine Blood Stone weighs at least two pounds, I didn't expect such a reward just for answering a question; I wonder where that powerful person came from!"

That cultivator treasured the Divine Blood Stone in hand and hastily stowed it in his storage bag.

The Divine Blood Stone was precious.

Two pounds of Divine Blood Stone was not a small amount to an average person.

At the same time,

He felt fortunate that he was smart enough to answer Gu Qingfeng's question truthfully, otherwise, forget the Divine Blood Stone, he might have had to pay with his life.

After all, a person who could casually toss out two pounds of Divine Blood Stone must have no simple status or strength.

In the Cultivation World, the slaughter of the weak by the strong was nothing unusual.

The so-called order

Actually didn't exist at all.

Or you could say,

The strong were the order.

Along the way,

Gu Qingfeng did not continue to travel as a rainbow, as it was his first time entering the Eastern Domain, and he was somewhat curious.

...

Half a day later,

With a flick of Gu Qingfeng's finger, a cultivator's head burst open; a column of blood spurted out, and then there was no sound at all.

At the same time,

There were already a dozen bodies lying on the ground.

"The chaos in the Eastern Domain is even worse than the Nine States was back in the day!"
