Free Web NovelChapter 658: Chapter 629: Gu Fang’s Motive
"I don’t know how the current situation of the Path to Immortality is, but seeing the Upper Realm’s increasingly fierce offensive, the situation on the Path to Immortality doesn’t seem optimistic for the Upper Realm either.
His Majesty the God Emperor is the Harmonizer of the Cyan Yang Divine Realm. Over the years, they have been accelerating their pace, aiming to truly invade the Cyan Yang Divine Realm and even destroy the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
The emergence of cultists has elements aimed at internally sabotaging the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
It’s ridiculous for those cultists to genuinely believe that by siding with the Upper Realm, they can escape the calamity, not realizing that once the Cyan Yang Divine Court is defeated, those cultists will lose all significance!"
Gu Fang’s expression was scornful when discussing the cultists, showing a hint of disdain.
Yang Yan said, "People always harbor lucky thoughts, and these cultists are no exception. But they still want to gamble.
Moreover, it’s not as if all cultists willingly serve the Upper Realm. Many probably want to leverage the power of the Upper Realm for their own benefit.
The human heart is complex; it’s been like this since ancient times. How is the situation on the Two Realms battlefield now?"
At the end, Yang Yan shifted his focus and asked a question.
Upon hearing this.
Gu Fang’s expression became much more solemn: "The battlefield of the Two Realms is not optimistic. For tens of thousands of years, the Upper Realm’s offensives have grown increasingly fierce. Although we are defending the Two Realms Battlefield with all our might, it’s still challenging to restrain the Upper Realm’s advances.
Currently, there’s only one way to change this situation."
"What way?"
"Become a Saint!"
Gu Fang uttered two words.
"Only by becoming a Saint or by someone truly emerging as an Immortal King can the current crisis be dissolved. All powerhouses of the 16th tier and above in the Upper Realm are stopped on the Path to Immortality.
In such a situation, if we can bring forth a Saint or an Immortal King, we can counterattack the Upper Realm.
We won’t necessarily lead the strong ones of the Cyan Yang Divine Court onto the Path to Immortality, but at least it will ensure the Upper Realm cannot qualify to step out of the Path to Immortality!"
"But—"
"Taking that step is easier said than done!"
Gu Fang shook his head slightly.
The fastest way to break through the 16th tier is to find opportunities in the Divine Kingdom Store, but the issue is that the Divine Kingdom Store is currently stuck at the 15th tier.
Since the emergence of the Divine Kingdom Store, Gu Fang observed the changes at each tier.
The higher the tier, the longer the time required by the Divine Kingdom Store.
Back when the store moved from the 14th to the 15th tier, it took over ten thousand years.
As of now.
The time needed for the 16th tier store appearance will only be longer.
In the past fifty thousand years, the 16th tier store has yet to appear, which is apparent.
However.
Gu Fang finds this normal.
After all, the 16th tier involves the realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings, which cannot be matched by those below the 16th tier.
Even so-called Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings are mere ants before true Saints and Immortal Kings.
The disparity at this level.
Is entirely like the difference between a glowworm and a bright moon.
Therefore.
Gu Fang suspects that it might take at least another hundred thousand years for the Divine Kingdom Store to upgrade to the 16th tier.
Yang Yan said: "If the Divine Kingdom could upgrade to the 16th tier store, we might be able to forcibly nurture a Saint and an Immortal King by exhausting the entire resources of the Divine Court.
But for now, achieving Saint Immortal King status relies solely on one’s accumulated foundation!"
"The last hope for a breakthrough lies in the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, the Qing Family, and those few in the Kunlun Divine Realm. Even my foundation is somewhat inferior compared to theirs!"
Gu Fang said calmly.
Shen Xue, Hall Master of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall!
Cyan Emperor, Ancestor of the Qing Family!
Aoba of the Kunlun Divine Realm!
These are the pioneers of the three great systems.
No.
Strictly speaking, calling them pioneers isn’t appropriate.
They should be called the supreme powerhouses of the three major systems.
For instance, in the Body Refining System, the Cyan Emperor is the most revered, while in the Magic System, the Hall Master of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall leads. In the cultivation system, known as the Cyan Lotus Sword Saint, Aoba reigns supreme.
Even Gu Fang admits his strength doesn’t match up to that of the Cyan Emperor.
To become a Saint or achieve Immortal King status, one must have a sufficiently deep foundation to take that crucial step.
For abundant accumulation.
These individuals are the most noteworthy.
However—
No matter how profound the foundation of these three might be, no one can be certain when they will reach that critical step.
After all.
Breaking through to the 16th tier cannot be accomplished in a single word.
Countless top-notch experts in the Upper Realm are stuck at the threshold of success, spending billions of years without validating the Dao, so truly taking that step is easier said than done.
The time and opportunities required are immeasurable.
"So what does Elder Gu plan to do after returning this time?"
Yang Yan asked.
There are rumors outside that Gu Fang killed a Quasi-Immortal King in the Two Realms battlefield and now needs to return to the rear for recuperation. But in Yang Yan’s view, it’s practically impossible.
Given Gu Fang’s current strength, killing an ordinary Quasi-Immortal King is not too difficult.
For a top-tier Quasi-Immortal King, that would be another story.
But all the top-tier Quasi-Immortal Kings and Semi-Saints are documented by the Cyan Yang Divine Court. The one he killed, though somewhat renowned, hasn’t qualified as a top-tier Quasi-Immortal King.
Gu Fang said: "The current situation in the Two Realms battlefield is becoming more severe. More forces are needed as support. This time, I intend to lower the entry requirements for the Two Realms battlefield.
All 9th-grade cultivators now have the right to voluntarily enter the Two Realms battlefield.
Additionally, some people within the Cyan Yang Divine Court have become too complacent. I believe that all cultivators above the 10th grade must be forced to enter the Two Realms battlefield.
For example, every hundred years, they need to spend fifty years on the Two Realms battlefield..."
Gu Fang’s words caused Yang Yan to frown slightly.
He didn’t object much to forcing those above the 10th tier to enter the Two Realms battlefield.
As Gu Fang said.
Some people nowadays are too complacent, having never set foot on the Two Realms battlefield, yet causing turmoil internally.
Moreover.
Letting some people enter the Two Realms battlefield while others remain behind to enjoy the peaceful fruits is inherently an unfair situation.
Therefore.
Forcing these people into the Two Realms battlefield isn’t much of a problem.
But the first thing Gu Fang said made Yang Yan feel somewhat inappropriate.
"In the Two Realms battlefield, the weakest Upper Realm cultivators are at the 10th tier. If we lower the threshold for 9th-grade cultivators to enter the Two Realms battlefield, it would merely add more cannon fodder to such a war.
If there’s a significant loss of 9th-grade combat strength, it will undoubtedly affect the number of top-tier forces.
This approach, I think, should be reconsidered carefully first!"
