Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 102: Daoist Realm, The Dawn of the Fifth Tier Era
For a long time.
Gu Qingyang suppressed the excitement in his heart and reorganized some of his subsequent plans.
The Qingyang Realm is his foundation, something that naturally cannot be abandoned.
In addition, the Divine Kingdom is also an indispensable foundation that must continue to grow steadily.
But whether it is the Divine Kingdom or the Qingyang Realm, the purpose of both is to elevate one’s strength to a higher level.
"Now, invading the Ancient Wilderness is not only to plunder the Heavenly Dao Origin but also to spread faith simultaneously!"
Gu Qingyang made a decision, and his mind quickly settled.
Now is not the time to act against the Ancient Wilderness. The Divine Kingdom’s great competition just ended, and rewards have been issued. Others also need a moment to buffer.
Having waited for thirty years, Gu Qingyang didn’t mind waiting a few more days.
...
With the conclusion of the Divine Kingdom’s great competition, all those ranked in the top hundred have gained tremendous fame. Meanwhile, those cultivators who previously concealed their divine bodies have now been revealed.
At this moment, others suddenly realized there are actually so many divine bodies.
What surprised them even more was that the official Cyan Yang Divine Court alone has two divine bodies.
The first is, of course, the War God Gu Fang.
He suppressed the multitude of strong contenders in this competition, securing the top spot on the fourth stage of the Divine List, thus validating his title as the War God.
The second is Ji Xuan.
This former marshal of the first warzone, now an elder of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, was always inconspicuous, never revealing his strength, yet it turns out he also possesses a divine body.
During the Divine Kingdom’s great competition, he also shone brightly, defeating many strong opponents, and some even with divine bodies of the same stage were defeated by him.
For a while.
The prestige of the Divine Court’s officials rose again by a few degrees.
However.
Compared to the original prestige of the Divine Court, this increase is not a significant change.
After all, the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s backing is the Divine Emperor stationed at the Kunlun Divine Realm.
...
Imperial City.
This was once the territory of the first warzone; now it has become the core of the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court, and the original name of the city has been changed to Imperial City.
As for the original eighteen warzones, they have all been renamed provinces, totaling eighteen provinces and cities.
Named one to eighteen without specific names.
In the hall of the Divine Court, Gu Fang sat cross-legged, with surging blood and energy rolling around his body like a mountain flood, filling the entire hall with an intense aura.
Suddenly.
Gu Fang’s body trembled, and the energy and blood within seemed to surge suddenly, his spine vibrating like a waking True Dragon, with a torrent of blood qi power rushing towards the Purple Mansion, causing intense itching and pain at his brow.
Once!
Twice!
Thrice!
...
The vague blood qi power impacted the brow’s Purple Mansion, and the previously indestructible Purple Mansion was suddenly blasted open under the bombardment.
At the moment the Purple Mansion was opened, some mysterious Dao Rhyme was born, and Gu Fang opened his eyes, his entire demeanor changed.
"So this is the realm of the fifth stage Daoist!"
Having taken a fifth-stage lower-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, Gu Fang successfully shattered his barrier and forcibly entered the lower fifth stage.
The fifth stage in body technique is known as Daoist.
This realm is about developing the Purple Mansion with blood qi power, nurturing divine sense power, communicating with Heaven and Earth using divine sense, triggering the vague Heaven and Earth Power to temper the physical body, and then using the flesh’s blood qi to nourish the divine sense, achieving a virtuous cycle.
If the fourth stage of Dragon Transformation is considered the limit of the human body, then the fifth stage Daoist truly breaks through that limit, entering the extraordinary to saint stage.
At this stage, cultivators can start to communicate with Heaven and Earth and harness its power.
One could say.
After breaking through to the fifth stage Daoist, Gu Fang feels as though Heaven and Earth have changed in his eyes, sensitivity heightened, and continuous supply of power from Heaven and Earth.
Although the speed of this supplement isn’t very fast, it ensures an advantage to a certain extent.
Yet wanting to utilize Heaven and Earth’s power directly against enemies like the Sage Master of the Ancient Wilderness is beyond the domain of a Daoist.
"The fifth stage Daoist can only initially communicate with Heaven and Earth, whereas a sixth-stage expert truly harnesses their power. If there’s a vast gulf between the fourth and fifth stages, the gap between the fifth and sixth stages is even more insurmountable!"
Gu Fang whispered to himself. Upon entering the fifth stage, he gained a clear understanding of the Daoist realm and some conjectures about the sixth stage.
Simply initiating communication with Heaven and Earth can’t compare with those who truly harness its power.
Especially when nurturing divine sense and truly sensing Heaven and Earth Power’s grandeur, Gu Fang understands how terrifying it is to borrow such strength.
Even a trace of it isn’t something other strong ones can withstand.
"It’s a pity that although I successfully reached the fifth stage using the Realm-Breaking Pill, I couldn’t exchange for the corresponding cultivation technique, the Overlord Divine Body Technique for the fifth stage. If I had it, my strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
But as it stands now, the strength transformation brought by my breakthrough isn’t as great as I imagined!"
Even so, by divine body standards, whereas by ordinary cultivators’ standards, breaking into the fifth stage hasn’t weakened him, and he even surpasses the ordinary fifth stage somewhat.
Gu Fang estimated internally; his current strength roughly equals an average middle fifth stage. If he could exchange for the fifth-stage Overlord Divine Body Technique, his strength would likely transform further, reaching the upper fifth stage.
Afterward.
Gu Fang officially exits seclusion.
...
Just as Gu Fang broke through to the fifth stage, the Divine List in the Divine Kingdom’s chat group also updated synchronously, and the fifth-stage Divine List opened, with Gu Fang’s name at the top.
Upon seeing this.
Many were envious, but none were surprised.
After all, having won the first place in the fourth stage competition, obtaining the fifth-stage lower-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, it’s entirely normal for him to break through.
With Gu Fang’s breakthrough, it signifies that the Cyan Yang Divine Court has officially entered the fifth stage era.
Days later.
Another name was added to the fifth-stage Divine List.
It was none other than Lin Ling, the Sect Master of the Upper Qing Sect.
Almost on the same day, in the Northern Continent’s five Ancient Cities, four of them – Evergreen, Celestial Spirit, Earth Fiend, and Dubhe – were shrouded with purple tribulation clouds. This majestic celestial aura pressed down, causing the stationed military soldiers in the city to change their faces dramatically, not understanding what was happening.
At the same time, more were alarmed, including the Divine Court elders guarding each city.
"This is my Transformation Heavenly Tribulation; everyone temporarily retreat from this city to avoid being affected by the Heavenly Tribulation!"
The powerful voice reached an elder’s ears, and he changed his expression. Recognizing it as the voice of the Evergreen Ancient Tree, he immediately commanded all the troops in the city to retreat.
Luckily, those stationed in the city belong to the military, so retreating was a matter of one command.
In no time, the entire Evergreen Ancient City was empty.
