Chapter 679: Chapter 420: Great Emperor Peak (Part 2)

"Kill!"

The other four Quasi Emperors looked horrified; Xia Tianjun’s strength amazed them. A prestigious Quasi-Emperor powerhouse was injured in just one encounter.

But at this point, how could they retreat?

So, the moment Xia Tianjun made his move, the remaining four Quasi Emperors also charged forward.

A grand battle.

It unfolded on the foreign realm battlefield.

——

"Your Majesty, urgent news from the foreign realm battlefield!"

In the court, a Jinyi Guard hurriedly came in from outside and spoke respectfully in front of all the officials.

As soon as these words were spoken.

All the officials were taken aback.

The foreign realm battlefield!

The name had become incredibly sensitive these days.

Gu Yang’s expression remained calm: "Speak!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a few days ago, five Quasi Emperors from the foreign realm attacked the Ninth Battlefield. Afterwards, Xia Tianjun, the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Ancient Xia Family, acted and slew the five foreign Quasi Emperors!"

The Jinyi Guard spoke truthfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, a smile appeared on Gu Yang’s face.

"Excellent, Xia Tianjun’s actions have enhanced our Divine Martial prestige. Convey my decree, Xia Tianjun has merited in killing the enemy; I hereby reward the Ancient Xia Family with a thousand pounds of top-grade Divine Blood Stone and three stalks of Nine Tribulations Divine Medicine!"

"The Emperor is wise!"

The officials were all overwhelmingly impressed by this.

Top-grade Divine Blood Stone!

Ninth-Tier Divine Medicine!

Either of these two items could be considered precious.

Especially the latter, which is extremely rare.

Yet, regarding Gu Yang’s reward, nobody found it unreasonable.

Given that Xia Tianjun had killed five foreign Quasi Emperors, such a reward was fitting.

Soon.

This reward news reached the Xia Family’s ears.

Regarding this.

The entire Xia Family was also immensely thrilled.

"A thousand pounds of top-grade Divine Blood Stone, three stalks of Ninth-Tier Divine Medicine, such grand gestures from the court!"

Xia Qiuqiu took a deep breath, his face showing some excitement.

It’s important to know.

Even though the Xia Family is an Ancient Emperor Clan, over the years their foundation has also been depleted considerably, and for the Xia Family, such a level of reward is indeed precious.

The other Xia Family elders also showed joyful expressions.

"This battle, Tianjun Ancestor has indeed elevated our Xia Family’s prestige. I believe that in this era, our Xia Family will produce another Great Emperor!"

"Indeed, and although Tianjun Ancestor has not yet proven himself as a Great Emperor, he is now third on the Supreme List. If he becomes a Great Emperor, he can reach the second position on the Supreme List.

With that, our Xia Family’s reputation will certainly rise further!"

As for the first on the Supreme List, they did not have any extravagant hopes.

After all, with Emperor Qingfeng present, no one was qualified to claim the top of the Supreme List.

But even reaching second is more than sufficient.

Second on the Supreme List.

That equates to the second strongest in the world.

This honor needs no further words.

More importantly.

Being on the Supreme List grants Qi Fortune from the Divine Dynasty, which not only protects the listed strong person but also benefits their family and sect.

Since Xia Tianjun entered the Supreme List, the Ancient Xia Family has benefited from the Divine Dynasty’s Qi Fortune, resulting in an increase in strong individuals.

Even Xia Qiuqiu, the head of the Xia Family, advanced from the Saint Realm to the Third Layer Saint Realm within three hundred years.

Ultimately.

This is the function of the Divine Dynasty’s Qi Fortune.

If not.

The strength of the Xia Family would not have improved so rapidly.

At this time.

Xia Qiuqiu said: "I will report these rewards to the ancestor and await his orders before proceeding further!"

The other elders did not have any objections to this.

Given Xia Tianjun’s status, he naturally doesn’t care much about these rewards; eventually, these rewards will fall into the hands of other Xia Family members.

But how exactly, it must be the ancestor’s decision.

Overstepping one’s bounds is not a good thing.

——

At this moment.

The Supreme List was once again updated.

When other cultivators saw Xia Tianjun’s latest battle achievements, they were also incredibly shocked.

Killing five foreign Quasi Emperors!

Such strength is indeed extraordinary and astonishing.

Many ancient powerhouses understand that if another Great Emperor were to emerge in this era, Xia Tianjun would surely be among them.

At the same time.

While everyone was in upheaval.

Within the Gu Family.

Gu Qingfeng, who had been in seclusion for three hundred years, finally showed some movement; he opened his eyes, and the divine charm of the Great Tao filled the void, a terrifying pressure engulfing all directions like an abyss.

Fortunately.

Within the Enlightenment Hall, Gu Qingfeng had already set up prohibitions to ensure the atmosphere wouldn’t leak out.

Otherwise, the recent scene would suffice to turn the entire Gu Family into a dead zone.

Don’t assume this is a joke.

In truth, this is the terror of a Great Emperor.

A wisp of energy could crush star rivers.

A mere glance could slay a Saint.

This level of power is unimaginable for ordinary cultivators.

"Three hundred years!"

Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath.

This three-hundred-year seclusion was the longest he had ever undergone, even twice as long as ever before.

After all, before going into seclusion, Gu Qingfeng was barely over a hundred years old; now, three hundred years of seclusion doubled his age.

Nonetheless.

This seclusion was abundantly fruitful for Gu Qingfeng.

Firstly.

There was the matter of the Taoist Scripture.

In three hundred years of seclusion, Gu Qingfeng successfully elevated this Gu Family heritage to the level of the Imperial Scripture, capable of helping one rapidly break through the Late Stage Emperor, a supreme inheritance.

With this Imperial Scripture as a legacy, it guarantees that future generations of the Gu Family will produce countless powerful individuals.

After all, a sufficiently supreme heritage is crucial for any faction.

Without a heritage.

One can only grow so far by groping their way step by step.

Don’t be fooled by how Gu Qingfeng only took three hundred years to simulate an Imperial Scripture.

But one must know.

Gu Qingfeng was able to deduce the Taoist Scripture by relying on his Late Stage Emperor cultivation realm, alongside referencing other Imperial Scriptures and various cultivation techniques, allowing for step-by-step simulation.

If not.

Even if given three thousand, or even thirty thousand years, it would be tough to simulate an Imperial Scripture.

Therefore.

The difficulty others face in simulating an Imperial Scripture is conceivable.

Besides having simulated the Imperial Scripture, the three hundred years of seclusion also allowed Gu Qingfeng’s strength to take a significant leap forward.

This improvement is not in cultivation but in the accumulation of his self-foundation.

With a thought.

Gu Qingfeng looked at his attribute panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingfeng

Age: 465/12000

Realm: Late Stage Emperor

Cultivation Technique: Abyss Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfect), Ancient Divine King Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Late Stage), Heavenly Vein True Scripture (Fourth Layer), Taoist Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfect)

Great Tao: Silent Extinction Path (First Layer Perfect), Yellow Springs Path (First Layer Perfect)

Upgrade Points: 5351500

...

"Five million upgrade points!"

Gu Qingfeng was not particularly moved.

A three hundred-year accumulation, having five million upgrade points was normal.

On average.

It’s about ten thousand upgrade points per year.

This range.

In Gu Qingfeng’s view, there was no issue.

After all, when he broke through as a Great Emperor, the overall strength of the Gu Family’s cultivators rose significantly, making subsequent breakthroughs anything but easy.

Accumulating five million upgrade points in three hundred years was naturally without fault.

However.

As the Gu Family’s bloodline continues to grow, this upgrade range will gradually increase.

At least compared to three hundred years ago, in Gu Qingfeng’s perception, the Gu Family bloodline has increased significantly.

Moments later.

Gu Qingfeng used one million upgrade points to elevate the Ancient Divine King Scripture from the Great Emperor Chapter Late Stage to the peak’s perfect layer.

With the breakthrough of the Ancient Divine King Scripture, Gu Qingfeng’s aura significantly surged, his physique and blood vibrated, a myriad of Great Tao divine charms nurtured within his blood, seemingly presenting celestial phenomena, but due to the prohibition power, did not transmit outside.

After a long time.

This aura gradually calmed down.

Gu Qingfeng introspected within, sensing the changes his breakthrough brought.

"Great Emperor Peak!"

"This cultivation has reached the boundary of the Lower Realm; further advancement would mean attempting to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm!"
