Free Web NovelChapter 608: Chapter 579: Never Underestimate the People of the World
"Still far from enough!"
Gu Qingyang shook his head in secret at his failure this time.
He had once again gained a clearer understanding of the power of a sixteenth-tier expert.
Such a being.
Completely beyond the imagination of the fifteenth tier.
In the future vision, Gu Qingyang could easily slay the Nine Luminaries Immortal Emperor, yet when facing that single finger, he still had no room for resistance.
Moreover.
He never even saw the owner of the finger.
It shows.
The immense gap between the sixteenth tier and the fifteenth tier.
However.
With each future prediction.
Though the scenario always stopped there, in terms of combat power, Gu Qingyang could keenly sense that he had become stronger than before.
At least.
In slaying the Nine Luminaries Immortal Emperor, it had become much easier.
"Continue to comprehend the Hongmeng Jade Disc!"
"I refuse to believe that a sixteenth-tier expert is truly unchallengeable!"
Gu Qingyang strengthened his resolve, continuing to dive into the mysteries of the Hongmeng Jade Disc.
To challenge and possibly defeat a sixteenth-tier expert in over twenty thousand years, his only path lay within the Hongmeng Jade Disc.
Three thousand great paths.
Chaotic transformations.
Various mysteries flooded his mind, immersing Gu Qingyang entirely.
...
Cultivation knows no time.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed.
Throughout these centuries.
Gu Qingyang continuously explored the mysteries of the Hongmeng Jade Disc with almost no respite.
Under such prolonged comprehension of Dao Rhyme, the level of the Star River Sword Dao also steadily increased, advancing from fifteenth-tier low-grade to fifteenth-tier mid-grade.
Then.
The Divination Celestial Immortal Scripture also directly rose from fourteenth-tier low-grade to fourteenth-tier high-grade.
Other divine techniques, like the Cycle of Life and Death, broke through the thirteenth-tier barrier, reaching the fourteenth-tier’s level.
Although this fourteenth tier is only entry-level, barely making it to fourteen-tier low-grade, at least it broke the thirteenth-tier limit, which is incomparable to before.
But even so.
Gu Qingyang still couldn’t push his combat abilities to the fifteenth-tier level.
From fourteen-tier perfecting to fifteen-tier, it seemed there existed a vast chasm, which even he found difficult to cross.
However.
Gu Qingyang could distinctly feel his strength was gradually improving. Although the rate of improvement wasn’t large, it genuinely existed.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Cyan Yang Divine Realm (Tier 4)
Combat Power: Fourteen-tier perfecting
Divine Kingdom: Tier 12 (9700000 trillion / 10000000 trillion)
Heavenly Dao Origin: 600 million
...
Looking at his attribute panel, Gu Qingyang realized the hundreds of years of accumulation was about to bring him close to advancing his Divine Kingdom to the thirteenth tier.
For these hundreds of years.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court constantly evolved, with many new beings emerging, and numerous powerful ones rising, allowing Gu Qingyang to rapidly amass Faith Power.
In a year.
Gu Qingyang estimated conservatively that he could gain thirty thousand trillion of Faith Power.
Deducting the daily needs of believers for exchange, at least half would remain.
In this situation.
The centuries’ accumulation was indeed terrifying.
However.
Advancing the Divine Kingdom to the thirteenth tier.
Gu Qingyang wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, till now, all powerful beings in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, except for Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, had been stalled at the eleventh tier.
Not even the twelfth tier had been broken through, let alone the higher thirteenth tier.
Therefore.
Even advancing the Divine Kingdom to the thirteenth tier seemed somewhat wasteful.
Of course.
If the Divine Kingdom really advanced, Gu Qingyang’s own strength might transform, potentially breaking the limit of fourteen-tier perfecting and ascending to the fifteenth tier.
Yet currently, breaking the fifteenth-tier barrier wasn’t necessary.
After all, whether the Divine Kingdom advances sooner or later makes no difference for the future.
Furthermore.
It’s been a thousand years since the last Celestial List ranking.
This time.
Gu Qingyang intended to initiate the Celestial List ranking once more.
Holding over nine million trillion Faith Power in hand, he felt it was time to wage a prosperous battle.
"Taking what’s from the sheep, given the abundance of Faith Power this time, I could expand some slots of other Celestial Lists, and also increase some rewards..."
Gu Qingyang contemplated in silence, determination gradually forming in his heart.
...
Cyan Yang State.
Imperial City.
Gu Fang, clad in a dark robe, stood within a certain mansion, gazing towards the Kunlun Divine Realm, with a touch of aged trace in his eyes.
"If I remember correctly, the second Celestial List ranking should soon begin!"
"The ancestor was right. According to time, a thousand years have passed, and the new round of Celestial List ranking is likely to start within a year!"
A middle-aged man respectfully replied from behind.
This was a descendant of the Gu Family.
Gu Fang, during the catastrophe, was once a high-ranking official in the military, with a family backing him.
After the emergence of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, Gu Fang became a Divine Court Elder, his family rising alongside him to be among the renowned elite families within the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
The speaking middle-aged man now was comparable in seniority to Gu Fang’s great-grandson.
After all.
In over a thousand years, not only four generations together, even ten or twenty generations together is a minor issue.
Gu Fang nodded slightly, "Let them prepare. The Celestial List ranking is of great importance. Securing a place on it greatly benefits future cultivation.
A thousand years ago, those who ranked, aside from unexpected falls, broke barriers and in a thousand years already ascended to immortality.
It’s evident that defeating the Celestial List provides tremendous opportunities for all cultivators!"
The middle-aged man’s eyes burned with fervor upon hearing this.
Gu Fang spoke true.
Those who ranked in the previous Celestial List almost all ascended to immortality, breaking several levels within a thousand years, reaching the pinnacle.
Even now, in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, those who ascended to immortality held eminence, unmatched by ordinary cultivators.
Ordinary cultivators struggle to become immortal.
As it’s often said.
The Immortal Tribulation alone.
Suffices to make many ordinary cultivators despair.
Afterwards.
The middle-aged man respectfully said again, "With the ancestor’s strength, once the Celestial List ranking opens, surely you’d ascend to the peak, allow me to congratulate in advance!"
"The Cyan Yang Divine Realm is full of hidden talents, far more intricate than you imagine. Additionally, the concentration of Immortal Qi has risen a hundredfold in recent centuries, benefiting many powerful ones.
There’s the vast realm; we both are unaware of how many strong ones lay concealed.
Only when the Celestial List truly opens shall the number of peak existences be known.
Remember, never underestimate the people of the world!"
Gu Fang’s tone grew more severe towards the end.
