"Reward improvement points*30!"

……

During the next six months, the entire Shenwu Dynasty returned to peace. Gu Qingfeng stayed in Gujia Manor, often instructing the disciples in the manor to practice, and also practicing on his own.

period.

When Gu Shengxing learned that Gu Shengan had sent his son to Gujiazhuang, he immediately found an excuse to send Gu Yunfeng to Gujiazhuang.

Xu Yulan was naturally very happy about this.

For her, it was quite boring to stay alone in the manor, and now that she had two great-grandchildren to keep her company, it was a good thing.

Gu Qingfeng naturally turned a blind eye to these things.

but.

Gu Qingfeng often pays attention to the changes in the information panel.

Originally, the two brothers Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan had similar talents, but if you look at it seriously, there are certainly some differences between them.

In the past, this gap had not been apparent, but now that the two of them were practicing in seclusion at the same time and trying their best to reach a higher level, the gap between them naturally became apparent.

Among the two.

Gu Shengan's talent is undoubtedly stronger.

While the other party was already able to make an effort to reach the Grand Master level, Gu Shengxing had not yet broken through to the Grand Master level.

And now Gu Shengan has entered the Grandmaster realm first, but Gu Shengxing is still at the Grandmaster level.

but.

Now the year has not yet ended.

Not surprisingly.

It would not be a problem for Gu Shengxing to break through to the Grand Master realm later.

Compared to these two people, Gu Qingfeng was somewhat curious about his great-granddaughter whom he had not seen many times.

"At such a young age, he was able to comprehend the Azure Lotus Sword Scripture and understand the Azure Lotus Sword Intentions. I didn't expect that Shengxing, with average talent, gave birth to a good daughter!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes moved slightly.

Not everyone can comprehend the true meaning.

Many Grandmaster-level cultivators may not be able to grasp the true meaning, let alone other cultivators.

The most important point.

That is, Gu Yunyue is only eight or nine years old now, but he has already directly comprehended the meaning of the Green Lotus Sword. Such talent is quite outstanding.

In this regard.

Gu Qingfeng was naturally very satisfied.

The more talented the younger generations of the Gu family are, the better it is.

but.

Gu Qingfeng did not interfere with Gu Yunyue's growth, but personally came forward to give some guidance to his great-granddaughter's cultivation.

Although Gu Qingfeng had never practiced the Green Lotus Sword Sutra, for him, this kind of grandmaster martial arts was so fundamental that he could see through it at a glance, so it was easy for him to get guidance.

The reason why Gu Yunyue was asked to practice the Green Lotus Sword Sutra was because the other party's cultivation was too weak. Strictly speaking, martial arts at the Divine Transformation Realm and above were gradually evolving towards supernatural powers.

Without sufficient support from cultivation, it is difficult to succeed in cultivation.

As for the Qinglian Sword Sutra, it is relatively easier.

and.

The Green Lotus Sword Sutra is quite mysterious. At least at the grandmaster level, it is considered a very good martial art.

……

"I've met Grandpa Huang!"

In the lobby of Gujiazhuang, Gu Shengxing and his companion arrived again.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the two of them and nodded slightly: "Okay, since you are here, let's follow the previous decision. Shengxing can be the head of the inner hall, and Shengan can be the head of the law enforcement hall...Gu Peng!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Gu Peng clasped his fists and bowed his head.

Gu Qingfeng said: "Take them to get familiar with the inner hall and the law enforcement hall."

"Yes!"

Gu Peng nodded, then smiled at Gu Shengxing and the other man.

"Two hall masters, please follow me!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Chief Manager!"

Gu Shengxing and the other man hurriedly returned the greeting, and their words showed great respect for Gu Peng.

As the steward of Gujiazhuang, the other party has been with Gu Qingfeng for decades and is deeply trusted by the latter. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

Even though Gu Peng is not of Gu family blood, he was given the surname Gu, and the most important point is that being able to gain Gu Qingfeng's trust is enough to worth everything.

Even though Gu Shengxing and the other man were direct descendants of the Gu family, they did not dare to be rude to Gu Peng.

not to mention.

They were all raised by Gu Peng, so he naturally respected them very much.

Subsequently.

Gu Peng took the two of them away.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the backs of the three people as they left, and then looked away after a while.

One year period.

Just as he thought, Gu Shengan's talent was stronger and he had already entered the middle stage of Grandmaster realm, while Gu Shengxing had just barely entered the Grandmaster realm.

The gap between the two has gradually become apparent.

Apart from that.

There was no change in the other descendants of the Gu family.

After all, a year is neither long nor short. People like Gu Yang have already entered the Dao Palace realm, so it will not be easy for them to break through later.

……

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Soon another half a year passed.

In the past six months, the Shenwu Dynasty has once again launched military operations against the Ancient Beast Mountains, and the Nine Ancient Beast Cities that had once turned to dust have been rebuilt.

but.

Today, the Nine Cities of Ancient Beasts has been given a name.

Nine cities to suppress evil!

The so-called evil.

It is the evil of evil.

The evil spirits in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range have been suppressed and killed, and Gu Yang established the Nine Cities to suppress evil in order to commemorate that battle.

And at the same time.

The army entered the Nine Cities and began to explore the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

Serving as a barrier between Jiuzhou and the Eastern Region, the Ancient Beast Mountain Range stretches endlessly. There are countless powerful and ferocious beasts and countless cultivators who have died here.

Over the years.

There are too many opportunities hidden in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

These opportunities.

For other forces, it is a huge temptation.

The palace. The imperial court.

All the ministers gathered.

Gu Yang looked at the officials below, and finally his gaze fell on Shi Zhen, who was in the lead.

"Shi Zhen, I gave you ten years to train your troops and build an elite force capable of fighting for my Shenwu Dynasty. Have you succeeded now?"

"Your Majesty, the 36,000 Tiangang soldiers in the Tiangang Camp have all entered the Grandmaster realm. If the Tiangang gods and demons gather together, they can suppress the Dao Palace realm!"

“In addition, the Divine Power Camp and the Mountain Guarding Camp both have a million elite soldiers, all of whom are veterans of the army. The weakest of them are in the Marrow Cleansing Stage, while the strongest have already entered the Divine Transformation Stage.

These three battalions of elite soldiers are all worth a fight!"

This statement came out.

All the officials' faces changed.

They knew that the imperial court had been training its military extensively in recent years, but they had not expected that it already had such a powerful force.

The three major military camps are all elite!
Not to mention the Shenwei Camp and the Zhenshan Camp, the 36,000 soldiers in the Tiangang Camp may not seem like a lot, but each of them has reached the Grandmaster level, which is a bit shocking.

To know.

Even in today's Jiuzhou, a grand master is a cultivator who can establish a sect.

Whether there are so many grand masters in the entire martial arts world is a question.

but now.

In the Tiangang Army alone, there are 36,000 grand masters.

If this news were to spread, it would be enough to shock the world.

In this regard.

Gu Yang was not too shocked.

Only he himself knew what price the Shenwu Dynasty paid in order to train these three elite battalions.

Basically 90% of all the resources collected in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range fell into the hands of the Third Battalion. At the same time, a large amount of resources from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land were also allocated to them.

It is precisely because of this unsparing investment that the elite troops of the three battalions were trained in such a short period of time.

When Shi Zhen finished speaking, Gu Yang showed a satisfied look on his face.

"Okay, with these three elite battalions, our Shenwu Dynasty can take control of the Eastern Region!"

Speaking of it.

Gu Yang paused and continued.

"Shi Zhen!"

"Chen is here!"

"I appoint you as the commander of the army that will attack the Yuan Dynasty. Lead the elite troops of the Tiangang Camp, Shenwei Camp, and Zhenshan Camp to attack Taiyang Prefecture!"

"I accept the decree!"

Shi Zhen was shocked and immediately clasped his fists in response.

Subsequently.

Gu Yang looked at the others again.

"Xue Cheng, Jiang Mo, Tong Lingfeng, the three of you will lead the Xue Camp, Jiang Camp, and Tong Camp to follow the army. You will be deputy commanders. When the army sets out, you must obey Shi Zhen's orders!"

"I'm waiting for the order!"

Xue Cheng and three others also stepped out at the same time and bowed to receive the order.

All three of them were generals of the imperial court, in charge of corresponding troops.

Although the army under the command of the three men is not elite, they have the advantage of large numbers.

Now that the Shenwu Dynasty rules over the Nine Provinces and has recuperated for decades, the population has greatly increased. Compared to the end of the previous dynasty, it has more than increased tenfold.

and so.

Three major military camps.

There are five million people each.

The three battalions together have a total of 15 million people.

This number is already extremely astonishing.

"I will give you one year. I want to see the flag of the Shenwu Dynasty flying over Taiyang Mansion!"

Gu Yang said in a deep voice.

Taiyang Prefecture is the prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Guiyuan Dynasty.

Now that the Shenwu Dynasty is about to mobilize its troops, the first target is naturally the Guiyuan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely take over Taiyang Prefecture within one year. If not, I am willing to be punished by military law!"

Shi Zhen directly issued a military order. Seeing this, Gu Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently.

The court meeting lasted another half hour before it was dispersed.

When the court meeting was over, all officials left in a hurry, and everyone's face had complicated expressions.

no way.

What happened in the court this time truly shocked them.

Even though the news that the Shenwu Dynasty was going to mobilize troops had already been circulating among the people, and everyone had their own speculations, when this matter was actually realized, it still couldn't help but shock people.

You know, when a war breaks out, there are too many things involved.

This is especially true for the interests of all parties involved.

but.

Gu Yang paid no attention to the shock from the outside world. He was now in the imperial study, reading the information sent back by the secret guards.

“Your Majesty, there are reports that evil spirits have revived in the ancient world, and many monks have been killed or injured. It is also rumored that several saintly sects and families have been destroyed, and all the powerful people have died.

This incident alarmed many ancient forces, and they all sent out strong men to encircle and suppress the evil spirits! "

Gu Yi respectfully reports.

his words.

This made Gu Yang look slightly solemn.

"It seems that there are indeed many evil spirits lurking in the ancient world. It's just unclear whether the outbreak of evil spirits this time is a coincidence or someone did it deliberately!"

Gu Yang muttered to himself, his eyes flickering a little.

The evil spirit appears.

Chaos in the ancient world has already emerged.

In Gu Yang's opinion, this is not a bad thing.

After all, the more chaotic the ancient world is, the greater the chances of the Shenwu Dynasty.

If everything were peaceful in the ancient world, the Shenwu Dynasty would inevitably attract the attention of various forces if it wanted to mobilize troops, and it would certainly be full of difficulties at that time.

in contrast.

Now that evil spirits have emerged and chaos has occurred, all forces are being drawn to them. As a result, the Shenwu Dynasty will naturally have much more trouble doing things.

Gu Yi said: "According to the information obtained by the secret guards, the appearance of this evil spirit is very likely related to a force called Taiyi Divine Dynasty!"

"Oh?"

Gu Yang looked surprised.

He never leaked the affairs of Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

Gu Yi said: "An ancient family brought great saint soldiers to defeat the evil army, and then went deep into the place to kill the evil spirits, and finally found a stone tablet with the words "Forever Suppress the Evil Spirits" engraved on it.

And on the stone tablet, there are traces of ancient Taoism, which records the origin of the stone tablet.

News about the Taiyi Divine Dynasty also spread!"

Speaking of it.

Gu paused and continued.

“It is now rumored in the Ancient World that the existence of evil spirits can be traced back to the ancient times, when an almighty force called the Taiyi Divine Dynasty took action to suppress the evil spirits in the entire Ancient World.

But as time passed, the seal left by the Taiyi Divine Dynasty gradually weakened, and by this era, the seal had completely lost its effect, so the suppressed and sealed evil spirits came out one after another, causing monstrous disasters! "

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang nodded slightly.

have to say.

What Gu Yi said was exactly the same as what Gu Yang had guessed.

the difference is.

Gu Yang knew even more clearly that the so-called Taiyi Divine Dynasty was most likely the supreme force that emerged from Jiuzhou.

In the ancient world.

Prior to the present era, there were three eras.

One is the ancient times, one is the barren times, and one is the ancient times!
Each era is not simply determined by time, but is accompanied by an unparalleled catastrophe that reshuffles the entire ancient world, thus announcing the conclusion of an era and the beginning of a new era.

but.

According to Gu Yang's understanding, the so-called ancient catastrophe happened at least tens of millions of years ago.

This has been the case since ancient times.

The so-called ancient times are so ancient that it is difficult to guess. (End of this chapter)
