Chapter 523: Time Stands Still
Half a month passed.
Within the Xuanzhen Immortal Domain, all cultivators of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect were completely slaughtered.
Thus.
This ancient immortal sect.
Was thoroughly erased from the Xuanzhen Domain.
At the same time.
Heavenly Venerates from various factions also came to pay their respects to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
After all, no one dared to defy the orders of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
Served as a cautionary tale.
At such a time, if one did not respect the orders of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, the consequences were foreseeable.
This being the case.
These factions naturally had no hesitation.
As for these factions, Gu Qingfeng did not intend to completely annihilate them.
As long as they were willing to submit and obey the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, allowing them to remain in the Xuanzhen Immortal Domain was not a problem.
Though.
These factions were once affiliated with the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
But times have changed.
As these factions had not truly opposed the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, Gu Qingfeng naturally wanted to give them a chance.
Of course.
If these factions failed to seize the opportunity, there was nothing to be done.
However—
Anyone who can dabble in longevity has lived countless years; they surely understand what it means to endure humiliation for eventual gain.
In the face of life and death, face is trivial.
Of course.
If in front of the weak, these Heavenly Venerates would still mind their dignity.
But in front of a powerful being like Gu Qingfeng, the so-called dignity was not as important.
These factions submitted readily.
With the support of many factions, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty unified the entire Xuanzhen Immortal Domain without any obstacles.
After bringing the Xuanzhen Immortal Domain under control, Gu Qingfeng ordered to directly deploy troops to other Immortal Domains.
Under the Xuanzhen Immortal Domain's command, there exist three thousand Immortal Domains.
These Immortal Domains.
Still had remnants of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
If not, then none.
Once done, naturally, it was necessary to eradicate, to nip all threats in the bud.
So.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't give the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect any chance.
——
A year later.
Gu Qingfeng returned to the Mystic Sky Immortal Domain.
"Greetings, Father!"
Gu Yang, upon receiving the news, naturally came to pay respects immediately.
Gu Qingfeng asked, "During this period, has there been any major event in the Immortal Dynasty?"
"The Immortal Dynasty is currently stable in all respects, and the matter of Father leading the army to annihilate the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is gradually spreading. All factions, upon learning of this news, are secretly fearful and dare not contend with our Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
Currently, the army is continuously annexing other Immortal Domains; everything is steadily progressing for the better!"
Gu Yang stated the facts.
The news of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect's destruction had already spread everywhere.
The annihilation of an ancient Longevity Immortal Sect naturally brought an extraordinary shock.
Initially, many factions were uncertain about the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, unclear about what kind of attitude this Immortal Dynasty would assume.
Moreover, quite a few factions harbored intentions to secretly test the Immortal Dynasty's boundaries.
But this time.
With the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
All attempts to test the boundaries disappeared without a trace.
After all, the annihilation of such an ancient top sect made the remaining factions all feel alarmed.
In such circumstances, who dared challenge the prestige of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
Most factions did not believe they could be stronger than the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
Heavenly Venerate Xuanzhen.
Was also one of the Human Clan's strongest, closest to Great Heavenly Venerate.
The fall of his side.
And the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
Was more than enough to demonstrate the ferocity of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
Before having absolute confidence to oppose the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, no one wanted to offend such a force.
In this regard.
Gu Qingfeng was not surprised.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Was precisely his intention.
Now, with the destruction of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, to establish the prestige of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, this was naturally what he wanted to see.
In this way.
Subsequently, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's conquest of various Immortal Domains would face less resistance.
Thereafter.
With a thought, Gu Qingfeng caused a storage ring to appear, which landed directly in front of Gu Yang.
"This is a hundred thousand lower-grade Dao Immortal Stones; cultivators in the Heavenly Venerate Realm practicing with these Dao Immortal Stones can break through faster.
You've been at the initial tier of the Second Tribulation for several million years; these hundred thousand lower-grade Dao Immortal Stones are expected to help you break through to the Third Tribulation level!"
"Dao Immortal Stones!"
Looking at the storage ring in front of him, Gu Yang naturally understood the importance of such a supreme treasure. He took a deep breath, then tucked the storage ring into his sleeve and cupped his hands to say.
"Thank you, Father!"
"Go ahead, you are the Crown Prince, your cultivation should not be too low!"
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling Gu Yang to withdraw.
As he said, a hundred thousand lower-grade Dao Immortal Stones, barring any accidents, should be enough to help Gu Yang break through to the Three Tribulation Venerable Realm.
Of course.
Even if it doesn't lead to a breakthrough, that's not a problem, as Gu Qingfeng still had plenty of Dao Immortal Stones. Even by sheer quantity, he could raise Gu Yang's cultivation level.
However—
The breakthrough of the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
Is not just about comprehending the Great Tao to a certain level; it also requires self-cultivation and enough foundation.
Otherwise.
Even if one invites the Longevity Divine Tribulation, it would be difficult to successfully transcend it.
But anyway, the improvement of Gu Yang's cultivation was the most important matter to Gu Qingfeng.
Being his first offspring, the benefits of Gu Yang's breakthrough in cultivation were the greatest.
If he could obtain some rewards that directly allowed a breakthrough in the Heavenly Venerate Realm, he would naturally enhance his strength.
Additionally—
As the legitimate eldest son.
Gu Yang's status in Gu Qingfeng's mind was also different.
From any perspective, enhancing Gu Yang's cultivation was something Gu Qingfeng wanted to see.
