Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 254 - 216: Poked the Fierce Beasts’ Nest_2
Chapter 254: Chapter 216: Poked the Fierce Beasts’ Nest_2
“You may now be a Grandmaster, but your cultivation is indeed lacking a bit. I bestow upon you these two elixirs, only hoping that you will not disappoint Our high expectations!”
This sentence
caused Shi Zhen’s face to change, followed by an excited expression, gripping the elixirs in his hand even tighter.
“Your Majesty, for such great kindness, your servant is willing to go through fire and water!”
“These elixirs are precious; you should consume them here, and It would also be fitting for Us to act as your protector.”
“In that case, I shall be disrespectful.”
...
Shi Zhen didn’t decline or even hesitate; he immediately swallowed the two elixirs.
Seeing him decisively consume the elixirs, Gu Yang’s face softened with an additional smile.
Soon after,
Gu Yang’s expression turned solemn.
In his perception, Shi Zhen’s aura was climbing steadily, his rate of breakthrough comparable to when Gu Yang himself had established the kingdom.
Mid-Level Grandmaster!
Late-Stage Grandmaster!
Peak Grandmaster!
…
At the moment he reached the peak of Grandmaster, without a moment’s pause, he broke through the Grandmaster’s barrier and stepped into the realm of Great Grandmaster.
In a matter of breaths,
Shi Zhen had successfully broken through to the peak of Great Grandmaster.
Such a formidable and terrifying presence caused even Gu Yang to be somewhat astonished.
Even though he knew the efficacy of the elixirs, seeing someone break through from the initial stage of Grandmaster to the top rank of Great Grandmaster in a matter of breaths, right in front of him, was incredibly hard not to be shocked by.
However,
this had not yet stopped.
Upon reaching the peak level of Great Grandmaster, Shi Zhen radiated an overwhelmingly powerful Blade Intent, seemingly evolving into a mountain of corpses and sea of blood, with boundless destructive power suddenly erupting.
This scene
alarmed many within the Imperial Palace.
Gu Yang’s expression shifted slightly, and he immediately gave a firm order to the guards who had come upon hearing the news.
“By Our command, seal the entire Imperial Garden. Without Our permission, none shall enter!”
“Yes!”
Under Gu Yang’s command, the entire Imperial Garden was sealed by the guards, and only then did he turn his attention back to Shi Zhen.
“Level Nine True Intent!”
Gu Yang mused to himself.
Although he had already grasped the Grandmaster True Intent, he had not yet reached the level of Level Nine True Intent.
Thinking this,
Gu Yang also entertained the idea of consuming a Level Nine True Intent Pill.
After all, Gu Qingfeng had only told him not to consume Great Grandmaster elixirs, but he hadn’t said anything about not consuming Level Nine True Intent Pills.
However,
this thought
was temporarily suppressed by Gu Yang.
Before long,
the Blade Intent dissipated.
Shi Zhen opened his tightly shut eyes, a trace of astonishment on his face which then turned into admiration, and he immediately bowed deeply to Gu Yang.
“Thank you for Your Majesty’s gracious gift, such an opportunity is akin to being remade. Your servant shall never forget this kindness!”
His expression was excited, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Peak of Great Grandmaster!
Level Nine True Intent!
These were things Shi Zhen didn’t even dare to dream of.
He considered his talent for cultivation to be quite good, but he had little confidence in becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster later on.
But now,
one pill had advanced him to the top rank of Great Grandmaster, directly saving him hundreds of years of grueling practice; how could Shi Zhen not be overwhelmed with excitement?
And there was also
the Level Nine True Intent Pill, which enabled him to comprehend an extremely powerful True Intent.
The cultivation of a top Great Grandmaster,
the True Intent of a top Level Nine Grandmaster.
With the combination of the two,
Shi Zhen had now become one of the top powerhouses in the world.
“You may now go and become accustomed to the strength you’ve just broken through to, and also, this matter must not be publicized!”
Gu Yang said.
To this, Shi Zhen respectfully obeyed the command.

After Shi Zhen left, Gu Yang called over a member of the Hidden Guard and handed the two elixirs to Gu Yi.
Even though he had already established the Divine Martial Dynasty, Gu Yang still had not disbanded the Hidden Guard, always considering it a force in his hand, ready to play a significant role when necessary.
Even now,
the Hidden Guard could secretly monitor the officials and also patrol the Nine States, proving to be of no small significance.
The present Hidden Guard, with Gu Qingfeng secretly having expanded their number to three thousand, half of which were under Gu Yang’s command, with the remaining half still taking orders from the former.
As for the true number of Hidden Guard, Gu Yang naturally had no clue.
However,
The fifteen hundred Hidden Guards under his command greatly alleviated Gu Yang’s issue with the shortage of personnel in the Hidden Guard.
Originally, Gu Yang had thought about expanding the Hidden Guard further, but as the force he trusted the most, the Hidden Guard certainly could not be expanded recklessly.
This matter had to be done,
and it had to be done with the utmost caution.
Before that,
the first thing Gu Yang needed to do was to enhance Gu Yi’s strength.
With a top Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist in command, the Hidden Guard could play a much bigger role.
Now,
two Grandmaster Realm Elixirs had already been given to Shi Zhen and Gu Yi, and Gu Yang had some ideas for the remaining five Elixirs.
——
“Your offspring ‘Gu Yang’ has conferred ranks upon the officials, stabilized the world’s political landscape, and brought about a long-awaited peace to the Nine States!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Yang’ has been blessed with Qi Fortune from the dynasty, greatly enhancing his talents!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Yang’ has discussed the Martial Arts with a Martial Artist in the Grandmaster Realm, improving his strength!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Yang’ has implemented a series of policies beneficial to the people, raising his prestige among the populace!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Xuan’ has strayed into dangerous territories, attacked by Fierce Beasts *103!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Xuan’ accidentally consumes Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, breaking through to the Perfection of the Bone Refining Realm!”
“Reward points *30!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Xuan’ has been attacked by Fierce Beasts *361!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Xuan’ has been attacked by Fierce Beasts *476!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Xuan’ has been attacked by powerful Fierce Beasts, and in a critical moment, resorted to using his trump card to slay them!”
“Your offspring ‘Gu Xuan’ has gained understanding through life and death battles, deepening his comprehension of Heavenly Blade True Intent!”
…
Upon leaving the Imperial Palace and temporarily returning to the old premises of the Guangyang Prince Mansion, Gu Qingfeng flipped through the information panel, and his expression turned somewhat strange upon seeing some of the later messages.
“Fierce Beasts?”
“Did he stir up a hornet’s nest of Fierce Beasts?”
Fierce Beasts, actually, are not commonly seen in the Nine States, simply because whenever they appear, they are immediately suppressed by the court.
However, it was only after the disintegration of the Taixuan Dynasty that the problem of Fierce Beasts became more serious.
But it was just slightly more serious.
For Gu Xuan to have been attacked by Fierce Beasts more than several hundred times is somewhat inconceivable.
Normally,
it would not be possible for so many Fierce Beasts to exist within the Nine States.
Unless—
Gu Xuan entered the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.
Gu Qingfeng thought of this, his brow furrowing slightly.
“Could it be that Xuan’er really did enter the Ancient Beast Mountain Range?”
The Ancient Beast Mountain Range was unpredictable, hiding too many secrets within. Since ancient times, no one has been able to truly explore and understand what exactly is inside the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.
Therefore,
anyone aware of the existence of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range wouldn’t rashly enter it.
But from the current circumstances, it seemed highly likely that Gu Xuan had entered the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.
After all,
apart from the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, Gu Qingfeng could not think of any other place that could harbor so many Fierce Beasts.
However—
Upon seeing that Gu Xuan’s Cultivation had a breakthrough, Gu Qingfeng’s expression softened a bit.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng looked at the empty courtyard in front of him and then said, “Summon someone!”
As soon as the words were spoken,
Hong Ye’s figure appeared.
“What orders does Your Excellency have?”
“Immediately contact Soul Stealer, and also check on Xuan’er’s whereabouts, this matter must be addressed promptly,”
Gu Qingfeng instructed with a cold voice.
Upon hearing this,
Hong Ye respectfully retired.
Watching her leave, Gu Qingfeng slightly shook his head, “I hope you haven’t really entered the Ancient Beast Mountain Range; otherwise, things might get quite tricky!”
The Ancient Beast Mountain Range was vast.
For one person to enter it was like searching for a needle in the ocean, finding their whereabouts would be extremely difficult.
Don’t think that the Hidden Guard force is substantial, but in front of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, it was utterly inadequate.
This,
Gu Qingfeng was well aware of.
After all, how could a place where not even a Grandmaster could guarantee a safe return be so simple.
So,
if Gu Xuan truly entered the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, finding him would not be an easy task.
