Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 488 - 324: Entering the Dao Through Martial Arts

"Upgrade!"

As Gu Qingfeng thought about it.

Two thousand upgrade points vanished, instantly elevating the Abyss Scripture from the Dao Palace Chapter to the Saint Chapter.

"Boom—"

The Imperial Scripture advanced to the Saint level, causing Gu Qingfeng’s previously imperfect physique to completely attain Perfection at the first layer of the Saint level.

Counting the Abyss Scripture’s advancement to the Saint level, Gu Qingfeng had already cultivated multiple cultivation techniques reaching the Saint level.

The shortcomings of these cultivation techniques complemented each other, naturally allowing him to achieve Perfection at the first layer of the Saint level.

Then.

Gu Qingfeng continued to upgrade.

"Saint Second Heaven!"

"Saint Third Heaven!"

"Saint Fourth Heaven!"

"..."

"Saint Nine Heavens!"

When the Abyss Scripture advanced to the Saint Nine Heavens, without a moment’s pause, it directly broke through to the Great Saint level.

"Great Saint First Heaven!"

"Great Saint Second Heaven!"

"Great Saint Third Heaven!"

...

When the Abyss Scripture advanced to the Great Saint Third Heaven, matching Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation level.

A powerful and domineering force suddenly emerged within Gu Qingfeng’s body.

At this moment.

Gu Qingfeng’s strength truly advanced to a level comparable to the Saint King Second Heaven.

Originally—

Gu Qingfeng had secluded himself to comprehend the Imperial Scripture for eighteen years; when he elevated the Abyss Scripture to the Saint Nine Heavens, his combat prowess had already broken through the barrier, truly reaching the Saint King level.

Now.

The Abyss Scripture broke through to the Great Saint Third Heaven, naturally enhancing Gu Qingfeng’s strength further.

However—

Looking at his remaining upgrade points.

Gu Qingfeng understood.

Saint King Third Heaven.

Was not his ultimate goal.

Following that.

Gu Qingfeng continued to upgrade.

Great Saint Fourth Heaven!

Great Saint Fifth Heaven!

Great Saint Sixth Heaven!

Great Saint Seventh Heaven!

Great Saint Eight-Layer Heavens!

Great Saint Nine Heavens—

When his cultivation advanced to the Great Saint Nine Heavens, the terrifying aura on Gu Qingfeng overwhelmed the vast Grinding Blade Hall; across the Nine States, heavenly phenomena emerged, with a massive vortex of spiritual energy frantically converging towards the Capital, resembling an extremely frightening spiritual energy vortex.

At that moment.

The spiritual energy of the entire Nine States seemed to be instantly drained.

All cultivators engaged in cultivation were abruptly awakened by this anomaly.

They looked towards the direction of the Capital, their eyes filled with horror.

The sudden change shocked the cultivators across the Nine States.

For eighteen years.

As the Divine Martial Dynasty continued to grow, the number of Nine States’ cultivators also increased.

Many powerful entities from the Ancient Desolate World came to the Nine States to reside.

Furthermore.

Some even directly established sects in the Nine States.

Of course.

The entire land belongs to the ruler.

The Nine States are ruled by the Divine Martial Dynasty; even to establish a sect, one must obtain the court’s approval.

Otherwise.

Establish a sect today.

Tomorrow, the court’s army will press forward and flatten the sect.

Even some existences in the Semi-Saint Realm dared not lightly provoke the authority of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Just because ten years ago.

A Semi-Saint from the Southern Domain came to the Nine States and directly founded a sect without the court’s permission.

This action naturally brought forth the court’s military pressure.

However. freēnovelkiss.com

As a Semi-Saint realm powerhouse, his strength was indeed formidable.

After a fierce battle, the court suffered tens of thousands of military casualties.

When this battle returned to the court, Gu Yang was enraged.

Subsequently.

This Emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty personally took action, under the public eye, slaying the Southern Domain Semi-Saint in ten moves, with his head hanging on the city gates of the Capital for three months.

Thus.

The cultivators in the world understood.

It turned out this Emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty was also an existence that had reached the Semi-Saint level.

Moreover.

He was a top-tier Semi-Saint.

After all—

Being able to defeat a peer Semi-Saint in ten moves, only the top existence in that realm could accomplish this.

Even more strikingly.

Rumors from outside claimed.

This Emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty had cultivated for less than a century.

Achieving Semi-Saint in such a short time, and as a supreme Semi-Saint.

Thus, it could be seen.

The opponent’s talent is incredibly terrifying.

Many cultivators speculated whether the ancestors of the Gu Family had once produced a Great Emperor, as the blood flowing through members of the Gu Family was Imperial Blood.

Otherwise.

Why were members of the Gu Family each possessed of such unprecedented talent?

So.

Many cultivators wished to uncover the secrets of the Gu Family.

This is also one of the reasons why numerous foreign cultivators flocked to the Nine States.

...

In one of the newly established sects in the Nine States.

An elder with white hair and a Taoist robe had an aura that was peaceful yet solemn, seemingly in perfect harmony with heaven and earth, his eyes quite spirited.

But when the spiritual energy vortex appeared, he looked towards the direction of the Capital, eyes filled with horror.

"Plundering the spiritual energy of the Nine States!"

"It is difficult for me to sense even a trace of spiritual energy!"

"Across the entire Nine States, I fear only that one can accomplish this—"

Gu Family Master!

Gu Family Manor Master!

Gu Qingfeng—

The white-haired Taoist contemplated having achieved the Semi-Saint level for over a millennium, with cultivation reaching the Transformation Realm, unless ancient Saints exist, few strong entities in the world could be his match.

He had heard much about Gu Qingfeng’s existence.

Unfortunately.

Since entering the Nine States more than ten years ago, Gu Qingfeng had long been in seclusion, leaving him without the chance to meet.

Now.

With the appearance of heavenly phenomena.

The white-haired Taoist could be sure.

Gu Qingfeng couldn’t possibly be a mere Semi-Saint.

"Becoming Saint during the End of Dharma Era!"

"How did this person manage to do it—"

The white-haired Taoist’s expression was somewhat incredulous.

He yearned to seek out Gu Qingfeng to inquire but forcibly restrained this impulse.

Such a being’s secrets were not within his reach to explore.
