Gu Yang had no choice but to abandon the plan to continue the search.
"You were also fortunate to be taken in by the Taixu Sacred Land, and speaking of which, the third brother has also gone to the external world."
In the end, Gu Yang added another sentence.
Gu Xuan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, "The third brother also went to the external world?"
He hadn't expected that.
He had returned, while Gu Xiu had left.
Gu Yang nodded, "Father once said the third brother has a great opportunity; leaving the Nine States is not a bad thing. Who knows, the next time we see the third brother, he might have become a powerful entity!"
Honestly,
Gu Yang wasn't worried about Gu Xiu.
After all, Gu Qingfeng had given his approval, which meant there shouldn't be any problems.
Gu Xuan's expression flickered upon hearing this, but he didn't press on with more questions.
"Alright, since you've come back with difficulty, stay for a few more days before talking about leaving."
"Yes!"
——
In the blink of an eye,
another three days passed.
Over these three days,
The strange phenomena in heaven and earth had intensified, and more and more powerful entities arrived.
Just at this moment,
Menacing aura soared to the sky.
Many cultivators were startled by this aura and all looked in one direction, only to see that the leader was a middle-aged cultivator, wearing battle armor, towering and with a resolute face.
Behind him,
stood an army of a hundred thousand armored elite soldiers.
If one looked carefully, they would notice that the armor of this vast army bore traces of blood, far from dry, indicating they had just recently gone through a gruesome battle.
Now,
as the hundred thousand armored forces appeared, the scene fell into a deathly silence, the invisible killing intent made cultivators aware of the army's approach deeply alarmed.
"The people from the Guiyuan Dynasty have arrived!"
"Ji Meng actually led the Divine Emperor Army of a hundred thousand to break through the Ancient Beast Mountain Range!"
Any cultivator who understood the perils of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range inhaled deeply at this moment.
As one of the most ancient mountain ranges in the Ancient Desolate World, the Ancient Beast Mountain Range was home to numerous powerful fierce beasts. Among them, beasts strong enough to enter the Divine Transformation Realm and even the Dao Palace Realm—while not found everywhere—were certainly not few.
There was also a rumor.
In the deepest parts of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, fearsome beasts on par with Saints lay dormant.
Although this rumor was unconfirmed, it sufficed to demonstrate the terror of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.
Even cultivators in the Dao Palace Realm would proceed with utmost caution when crossing the Ancient Beast Mountain Range; an encounter with a fierce beast might easily lead to disaster.
For a target as large as the Divine Emperor Army of a hundred thousand to stride directly into the Ancient Beast Mountain Range would inevitably awaken many fierce beasts. This could be gleaned from the fresh blood on the soldiers' armor, a testament to the scale of conflict they'd faced.
However,
despite that,
the appearance of the hundred thousand strong army here,
clearly demonstrated the terrifying might of the Divine Emperor Army.
Atop the city walls of Xing'an County, Gu Yang also looked in the direction of the Divine Emperor Army with solemnity and a bit of fervor.
"The Guiyuan Dynasty is indeed a top force in the Eastern Domain; the Divine Emperor Army truly represents the elite of the elite!"
Gu Yang couldn't help but lament inwardly.
He could see that the cultivation of the weakest among the arrived Divine Emperor Army was at least at the Great Grandmaster level.
Indeed.
Great Grandmaster.
In the past, a Great Grandmaster in the Nine States was among the strongest; even now, those who truly reached the Grandmaster Realm were few and far between.
Yet,
within the Divine Emperor Army,
a Great Grandmaster was just an ordinary foot soldier.
Even if all in the Divine Emperor Army were Great Grandmasters, that would mean a full hundred thousand Great Grandmasters. But the problem is, as the Guiyuan Dynasty's elites, the Divine Emperor Army could hardly consist only of Great Grandmasters.
At this moment,
Ji Meng stepped into the void, a terrifying aura erupting from him that caused the weather to change and the heavens to tremble.
"The fall of the Sixth Prince of my Guiyuan Dynasty occurred here; the Divine Martial Dynasty must give an explanation!"
Before coming to the Nine States, Ji Meng had already received some information, knowing that Han An and his companion had entered the Capital and then were suppressed by the powerhouses of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
There was no doubt,
the fall of Han An must certainly be tied to the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Thus,
Ji Meng now appeared completely ready to seek an explanation by force.
As his voice fell, that terrifying might belonging to the Taoist Palace Realm was already rolling towards Xing'an County to crush it.
All the cultivators of the Divine Martial Dynasty had changed their expressions at this moment, deeply feeling the insignificance under such a presence.
"Buzz!"
The sudden sound of a blade singing rang out, and then one could see nature's spiritual energy transforming into a Heavenly Blade that swiftly slashed down, dispersing all the incoming momentum in an instant, with the spiritual energy blade relentlessly slashing towards Ji Meng.
The latter's expression changed slightly as he hurled a punch with his right hand, colliding with the spiritual energy blade.
"Boom—"
The Heavenly Blade shattered, Ji Meng who stood in the void took a step back, his fist also showing signs of cracking, but immediately returned to its original state, something the others did not notice.
"Taoist Palace Realm pinnacle!"
Ji Meng's expression grew serious, as from the strike exchanged from afar, he had already admitted defeat.
The one who could defeat him from afar must definitely be a top contender of the Taoist Palace Realm with Nine Layers.
However,
Ji Meng did not fear in his heart.
After all, this mission was not just carried out by him alone, but was also supported by a hundred thousand troops from the Divine Emperor Army.
If he truly were to fight with all his might, even a top Taoist Palace could be quelled.
At this moment,
Gu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards Ji Meng with eyes full of indifference, "The people from the Guiyuan Dynasty dare to attack the Capital, which is to court self-destruction. I have not yet sought an explanation from the Guiyuan Dynasty, yet you have taken the initiative to come and seek justice!"
"A mere Great Grandmaster, also dares to speak such big words before me."
Ji Meng's expression turned cold, and he was about to crush Gu Yang on the spot with a raise of his hand.
In response to this,
Gu Yang stood fearlessly.
With Gu Qingfeng backing him up, he naturally did not fear a Ji Meng.
Just as a clash was about to erupt between the two, the void trembled, divine light soared into the sky and transformed into a towering figure, the ancient desolate aura permeated the heavens, instinctively drawing the sideways glance of all cultivators.
"This aura!"
Inside the government office, Gu Qingfeng paused his tea-drinking action, and then turned towards a certain direction, his gaze piercing through all obstacles as if to see that towering figure.
"A Saint!"
"Or perhaps a Great Saint!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression shifted.
Such an ancient desolate aura was extremely terrifying, making his divine soul and vitality instinctively shiver, as if experiencing immense pressure.
Even with his current Cultivation Realm, even facing a top contender in the Taoist Palace Realm wouldn't give him such a feeling.
Now, it was merely a mere phantom, yet it commanded such presence, revealing how fearsome the opponent would have been in their prime.
Now,
the majestic figure in the void slowly spoke, its authoritative voice reaching the ears of every cultivator.
"I am the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, I leave behind a secret legacy today, all who are below the Taoist Palace Realm may enter!"
As the voice faded,
the phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint disappeared, and the terrifying power turned into bronze gates, appearing outside Tianxiong Pass.
In an instant,
all the strong ones were agitated, and when they looked towards the bronze gates, their faces were full of greed and shock.
"The Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, could it be the very same from five hundred thousand years ago!!"
"It was said that this very Great Saint was at the pinnacle, an existence that dominated the Ancient Desolate World fifty thousand years ago, and now this Great Saint has left a legacy in the Nine States!"
"It's said that before the ancient times, when the Nine States was thriving at its peak, there was an unsurpassed power that emerged to dominate the Ancient Desolate World, and when that power suddenly disappeared, many strong ones from the Five Domains entered this domain, hoping to find the legacy left behind.
The arrival of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint here might very well be related to that!"
Regardless,
the legacy left by a Great Saint at the pinnacle is enough to stir the hearts of all cultivators.
If the Sacred Legacy obtained from the Divine Sun Sacred Land in the past only concerned some powers with many strong and ancient backings not paying much attention to it,
now the emergence of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint's legacy is a completely different matter.
One is a Saint Inheritance!
The other is a Great Saint Inheritance!
Moreover, the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint was a top contender among the Great Saints, having reached the Great Saint Ninth Layer, with cultivation that could manipulate the fundamental laws of nature, and obtaining such a legacy would surely skyrocket one's destiny.
Even many powers that have previously produced cultivators who reached the Great Saint Realm or even above, upon learning of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint's legacy, would inevitably not be able to stay seated.
After all, the benefits of obtaining a Great Saint legacy go without saying.
