Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 687 - 424: Supreme Ruler of the Universe (Part 2)

"Your progeny ’Gu Yang’ suppressed a region in the Foreign Realm, and many forces bowed their heads!"

"Your progeny ’Gu Yang’ successfully unified the entire Foreign Realm, achieving the accomplishment ’Master of the Universe’ (can only be triggered once)!"

"Reward: Upgrade Points * 5,000,000!"

"Reward: Great Tao Enhancement Card (Second Layer) * 1!"

"Reward: Heavenly Venerate Essence Blood, one drop (Six Tribulations)!"

...

Not long after numerous strong figures from the Foreign Realm entered the Imperial Palace, Gu Qingfeng saw changes on the information panel, and his face showed a look of shock.

"Great Tao Enhancement Card!"

"Six Tribulation Heavenly Venerate Essence Blood!"

Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath; this level of reward was truly unexpected for him.

By comparison.

Back when Gu Yang suppressed the entire Ancient Desolate World, as the Human Race’s Shared Lord, the rewards were not as strong as now.

But then he thought again.

Gu Qingfeng felt relieved.

The Shared Lord of the World!

How could it compare to the Master of the Universe!

The difficulty of suppressing one Ancient Desolate World cannot be compared to the entire universe.

Five million Upgrade Points!

Great Tao Second Layer Enhancement Card!

Six Tribulation Heavenly Venerate Essence Blood!

Any one of these rewards indicates the importance of this achievement.

"With five million Upgrade Points, I could almost at least breakthrough two Imperial Scriptures to the Great Success level!"

"If it truly reaches that point, my strength will surely advance further—"

"As for the Great Tao Second Layer Enhancement Card, it can elevate one Dao to a higher level, so I must consider it carefully!"

Gu Qingfeng looked at his attribute panel, and some ideas formed in his heart.

Over the past hundred years. novelbuddy-cσ๓

The Supreme Mysterious Immortal Scripture and the Ancient Wilderness Dao Scripture were all elevated to the Emperor level by Gu Qingfeng; although they are only at the initial entry into the Emperor Realm, they are still of Emperor caliber.

As for the Blood Demon Emperor Scripture, it still remains at the Late Stage Emperor.

Regarding Upgrade Points.

Adding the just-received five million Upgrade Points.

The total Upgrade Points in Gu Qingfeng’s possession are roughly around five million five hundred thousand.

Normally speaking.

To elevate two top-tier Imperial Scriptures to Great Success is more than enough.

Without hesitation.

Gu Qingfeng directly used one million Upgrade Points to elevate the Blood Demon Emperor Scripture to the stage of Great Success, and then used three million Upgrade Points to elevate the Supreme Mysterious Immortal Scripture to Great Success as well.

With the remaining one million Upgrade Points, Gu Qingfeng poured them all into the Ancient Wilderness Dao Scripture.

Two top-tier Imperial Scriptures reaching Great Success.

Made Gu Qingfeng feel the vibration of his blood and qi, with his entire strength seemingly enhanced again by a considerable amount.

Yet this enhancement, compared to when he first broke through the Great Emperor Peak, is undoubtedly much weakened.

"The more I accumulate Imperial Scriptures, the smaller the enhancement I receive, which means I am getting closer to the Emperor’s limit, and once reaching the true end, even more Imperial Scriptures will be useless!"

Gu Qingfeng fully understands his situation.

Every level has its limits, and reaching these limits signifies that no further advancement is possible for oneself.

Only different cultivators have varying limits.

Among them.

It’s a matter involving depth and potential.

Gu Qingfeng possesses the Ancient Immortal Body, so in terms of depth and potential, there’s no need to mention; even with several top-tier Great Success Imperial Scriptures, he has not reached his limit yet.

However.

Gu Qingfeng dimly felt he was touching the threshold of the limit.

With one or two more Imperial Scriptures achieving Great Success, Gu Qingfeng estimated that he would struggle to breakthrough further.

Subsequently.

A thought crossed Gu Qingfeng’s mind.

A Great Tao Enhancement Card appeared in his hand.

A Great Tao Second Layer Enhancement Card, as the name implies, can upgrade one Dao from the First Layer to the Second Layer, but it cannot be applied to other non-Dao level rules.

In some respects, the Great Tao Second Layer Enhancement Card seems inferior to a conventional Great Tao Enhancement Card.

After all, the latter can elevate any divine skill rule directly to the level of First Layer Dao, while the former can only raise a First Layer Dao to the Second Layer.

Yet this is not the case.

Undoubtedly.

The elevation of Dao levels is more challenging than enhancing other divine skill rules.

Even with Gu Qingfeng currently mastering two First Layer Daos, he has not comprehended the higher-level mysteries.

It shows.

How challenging Dao elevation truly is.

It’s akin to a heaven-defying treasure allowing other cultivators to efficiently breakthrough to Quasi Emperor Peak, whereas another treasure aids in advancing from Quasi Emperor Peak to Emperor Realm.

Comparatively, the latter’s importance is undoubtedly higher.

The same is true for the Great Tao Enhancement Card.

Now, before Gu Qingfeng is the choice of which Dao to elevate.

Silent Extinction Path!

Yellow Springs Path!

Gu Qingfeng thought of that terrifying figure in the shadows and suppressed the notion of elevating Yellow Springs Path.

Since choices are available, he wouldn’t rashly elevate Yellow Springs Path unless only one Dao could be enhanced, leaving no room for hesitation.

But now with a choice between two, Gu Qingfeng naturally prioritizes Silent Extinction Path.

Furthermore.

Silent Extinction Path aligns well with the path he originally took.

Therefore.

Gu Qingfeng, without any hesitation, directly used the Great Tao Second Layer Enhancement Card to raise the Silent Extinction Path to the Second Layer.

As the Silent Extinction Path broke through, terrifying Dao Rhythms swept the heavens, and amidst them, a phenomenal Dao Rhythm descended from the Nine Heavens, melding into Gu Qingfeng’s body.

When this Dao Rhythm entered his body, Gu Qingfeng’s flesh seemed to undergo monumental changes.

Simultaneously.

An unprecedentedly strong sense of repulsion surged from all directions, as if the entire universe, including the heavens and earth, sought to exclude him directly.

Thus.

Gu Qingfeng forcibly suppressed this transformation, and only then did the intense repulsion vanish.

When that feeling disappeared, a look of relief appeared in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.

"The path of the Heavenly Venerate, it turns out to be like this—"

"Using Dao Power to temper one’s body, causing a transformation in the life level, thereby entering a higher dimension!"

"In other words, the so-called cultivation technique inheritance is no longer important at the level of the Heavenly Venerate; only by understanding the Dao can oneself truly enhance strength!"

As Silent Extinction Path elevated to Second Layer, many of the previous questions Gu Qingfeng had in his mind suddenly became clear.

The path of the Heavenly Venerate!

It’s entirely different from the Great Emperor or the preceding path.

Regardless of other levels or the Emperor Realm, the path is traceable, with cultivation technique inheritances left behind.

But after reaching the Heavenly Venerate level, things change.

The so-called cultivation techniques and divine skills become irrelevant.

This level requires mastering the power of the Dao.

Harnessing Dao Power for personal use, then using Dao Power to temper oneself, evolving one’s life level, thus truly entering the Heavenly Venerate realm.

With the Dao Power Gu Qingfeng initially mastered, achieving a genuine life level transformation would have required lengthy accumulation over time.

But as Silent Extinction Path elevated to Second Layer, the abundant Dao Power surged forth, sparing Gu Qingfeng countless years of hard work, almost completing the final transformation in one step.

If Gu Qingfeng hadn’t restrained this transformation at a critical moment, he would likely have forcefully entered the Immortal Domain by now.

The reason for restraint.

Gu Qingfeng believed it wasn’t the right time to enter the Immortal Domain yet.

Even at the Heavenly Venerate realm now, so what? A One Tribulation Heavenly Venerate entering the Immortal Domain doesn’t guarantee a firm foothold. Rather than that, it’s better to continue accumulating in this universe as much as possible.

Not to mention anything else, just saving more Upgrade Points will help deal with numerous unexpected situations after entering the Immortal Domain.

Compared to other Ancient Great Emperors, Gu Qingfeng’s greatest advantage now is not being troubled by the problem of life span.

With a lifespan of twelve thousand years, Gu Qingfeng hasn’t even used a fraction, so everything can be done strategically.
