Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 357 - 256 Emperor Talent_2

Chapter 357 -256 Emperor Talent_2

Now, Yan Lingyun’s words were all about drawing closer ties between Taixu Sacred Land and Gu Qingfeng.

It was not that he was being mercantile; it was simply that the strength Gu Qingfeng had displayed was too astonishing.

Yan Lingyun was well aware that thus far, Gu Qingfeng had not yet achieved sainthood, yet he was able to fiercely battle a Great Saint and casually slay Saints with a wave of his hand.

From this, one could see

just how terrifying the other party’s foundation really was.

This was also why Yan Lingyun had taken a risk to assist.

Making friends with such a power person could only bring benefits and no harm to Taixu Sacred Land.

“Regardless, since Taixu Sacred Land has lent its aid this time, I, for one, am not an ungrateful person. Consider these items as a token of thanks for Taixu Sacred Land’s intervention!”

Gu Qingfeng directly took out two storage rings and handed them to Yan Lingyun.

The latter, upon seeing this, did not refuse.

“In that case, many thanks to Gu Family Head!”

Yan Lingyun’s face was full of smiles.

The foundation of Ancient Desolate Sacred Land was not something Taixu Sacred Land could compare with. Now, even just a portion of the resources was particularly important to Taixu Sacred Land.

After all—

an era of great strife was approaching.

Taixu Sacred Land must enhance its strength as much as possible, so that it might stand out in the forthcoming era.

More importantly,

the bond between them was now established.

Even if they accepted the resources of Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, it would have no bearing.

“I must take my leave now but should there be an opportunity in the future, I will certainly visit Taixu Sacred Land to express my thanks!”

Having said this, Gu Qingfeng left by soaring into the sky.

After his departure, Yan Lingyun’s Divine Thought entered the two storage rings and his smile grew even more splendid.

“Ancient Desolate Sacred Land truly lives up to its reputation as a legacy of the ancient Holy Lands; indeed, its resources are plentiful. With such a trove of resources, my Taixu Sacred Land can nurture quite a few strong individuals!”

Although Taixu Sacred Land seemed glorious in the eyes of others, only Yan Lingyun, as the Saint Master, understood the saying, ‘One doesn’t know the cost of firewood and rice until one becomes the head of a household.’

With many disciples cultivating in Taixu Sacred Land, resources were needed everywhere. Despite Taixu Sacred Land having interests in all regions, they were always somewhat strapped for resources.

Fu Shenjun, watching the direction in which Gu Qingfeng had departed, didn’t speak for a long while, then finally asked,

“Saint Master, in your view, how far can this person ultimately go?”

“Emperor Talent!”

Yan Lingyun uttered these words.

Upon hearing this,

Fu Shenjun’s expression froze momentarily before relaxing.

Emperor Talent.

The statement was to be expected.

Throughout the ages, every Great Emperor stood at the absolute pinnacle of the Ancient Wilderness and even in death, their remaining power could suppress the ages.

Yet, not every genius or monstrous person born with a Divine Body necessarily reached that realm.

But to say that Gu Qingfeng had the chance to contend with the Emperor Realm in the future, Fu Shenjun harbored not a hint of doubt.

An individual who could slay a Great Saint while merely a Semi-Saint—if even such a formidable being did not have the chance to attain emperorship, then who else could ascend to such heights?

Yan Lingyun said, “All ancient emperors had peerless combat prowess in their youth, and Gu Qingfeng is no exception.”

Thereafter,

Yan Lingyun looked towards the ruins of Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, knowing that today’s events were destined to shake the entire Ancient Wilderness.

After all, the destruction of an ancient Holy Land was not a trivial matter.

Especially with a Great Saint and numerous Saints having fallen, it was sure to cause quite a stir.

From this moment onwards,

the name of the Divine Martial Dynasty was destined to resound throughout the Ancient Wilderness, positioning it among the top echelons.

Even if the Divine Martial Dynasty’s foundation was shallow, how could it not matter when they boasted a being on par with a Great Saint?

In an era where Saints seldom appeared, boasting the feat of slaying a Great Saint meant that even forces more ancient than Ancient Desolate Sacred Land dared not provoke them in the slightest.

——

“Great Saint Xuan Yu has fallen!”

“Ancient Desolate Sacred Land has been destroyed!!”

Within the Divine Martial Dynasty, at the court hall, Gu Yang was the first to receive the news from the Southern Domain. His face was filled with disbelief.

He confirmed it again and again before he was sure that the news he received was not mistaken.

At this moment,

it was not only Gu Yang who was shocked.

In the royal court, Nanyue Mountain and the other ministers were filled with shock upon hearing the news.

“The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land has been destroyed; the Supreme Emperor truly has a divine might that overshadows the world!”

“After this battle, our Divine Martial Dynasty shall rise—”

After their initial shock, the ministers began to speak one after another, unable to contain the excitement and agitation on their faces.

They were very clear about what this battle represented.

The reputation of the Divine Martial Dynasty had been significant, though only within the Eastern Domain. Although the dynasty’s fame had spread to other regions, its influence had always been limited, and some established powers had been dismissive of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

There was no helping it.

The Divine Martial Dynasty was strong if said to be strong, yet also weak if considered weak.

Their biggest flaw lay in their foundation.

Since the previous dynasty had crumbled, the Divine Martial Dynasty had only been established for a mere five years.

Five years.

Even though Gu Yang had greatly developed the Divine Martial Dynasty, establishing Martial Arts Academies all over, the time was too short to produce many formidable warriors worthy of the limelight.

Without Gu Qingfeng, the entire Divine Martial Dynasty would be a small force that any Dao Palace Great Power could easily obliterate.

But now, things were different.

Although the Divine Martial Dynasty still relied on Gu Qingfeng alone to support the situation…

Yet,

A Daoist Palace Realm Great Power on par with a Saint, and a legendary figure capable of slaying those in the Great Saint Realm, these were two different concepts.

This was just like many Saint Families, or even Ancient Sacred Lands, that might only produce a single Saint or a warrior of the Great Saint Realm from beginning to end, but could rely on such powerful individuals’ legacy to revitalize their forces.

To put it plainly,

The remnants left by strong figures at this level were enough to create a powerful force.

The stronger the Divine Martial Dynasty became, the more benefits these ministers, as subjects, would naturally reap.

All under heaven are drawn by profit.

Whether it’s families or sects and dynasties, fundamentally they are the same.

Gu Yang turned to Nanyue Mountain and ordered, “Increase the Nine States’ patrol efforts by the Heavenly Patrol Guard, suppress all those who cause turmoil, and warn other forces not to stir up further unrest. Otherwise, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land will be their fate!”

“Yes!”

Nanyue Mountain took the command.

Over the years, many forces had infiltrated the Divine Martial Dynasty. Although the Heavenly Patrol Guard had suppressed many uprisings, there were still shadows of various powers secretly at work behind them.

These matters were also known to Gu Yang through the Hidden Guard, but he had turned a blind eye.

There was no choice.

The Divine Martial Dynasty did not yet have the right to truly “flip the table.”

As long as it did not have too great an impact or threaten the normal operation of the court, Gu Yang would temporarily endure it.

Although he could ask Gu Qingfeng to act and uproot these forces entirely, doing so would only lead the Divine Martial Dynasty to offend more powers.

The battle in Xing’an County years ago had already led to the downfall of over a hundred thousand cultivators from the Ancient Wilderness, and the Divine Martial Dynasty had offended a number of powers.

Offending other forces continuously might not be advisable.

But now things were different.

Gu Qingfeng singlehandedly stepped into the Ancient Wilderness, swept through the entire Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, and the bloodshed of the Ancient Great Saint gave Gu Yang enough confidence to face other forces.

He believed

Even powers with more formidable foundations than the Ancient Sacred Lands might not dare to turn against the Divine Martial Dynasty now.

After all—

A Great Saint of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land had fallen.

Unless an Ancient Great Saint stronger than Great Saint Xuan Yu were to arise, or a warrior above the Great Saint Realm emerged, only then would there be a chance to suppress Gu Qingfeng.

But the issue was, the awakening of such high-level warriors was not a good thing for their powers at this stage, before the era of the great strife had begun.

More importantly,

The awakening of ancient powers was like pulling a hair and moving the whole body.

That was why Gu Yang now had the confidence to directly “flip the table.”

As the news of this battle spread,

Before the coming of the great strife, the Divine Martial Dynasty could remain as stable as Mount Taishan.

Even when the era of great strife truly arrived, Gu Yang would not be afraid.

If the Divine Martial Dynasty were given a thousand or two thousand years to grow,

By that time,

The Divine Martial Dynasty would not necessarily be any less than the other ancient powers.
