Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 367 Fishing
The kings of Dongzhou remained silent, but the crowd watching outside was in an uproar.

Those who can stand on Bamboo Island must at least have basic knowledge of martial arts. However, none of them have ever seen a sword light that can cleave the sky.

Let alone ordinary martial artists, even a sixth-level martial arts master like Chu Dongjun was dumbfounded and unable to contain himself.

Chu Dongjun had never seen such exaggerated sword energy, which pierced the sky and spread tens of thousands of meters away.

The sword energy, stretching for tens of kilometers, radiated an invincible divine power in the sky.

He dared not imagine how powerful the source energy contained in this sword was, nor could he imagine what would happen if this sword were to fall on Zhujun Island.

Is King Wu really that powerful when he goes all out? Chu Dongjun was very skeptical, because Bai Chan did not respond.

Clearly, this sword strike had exceeded Bai Chan's limits in dealing with it.

Chu Dongjun looked back and saw that Gao Wu had already returned to his seat, which meant the battle was over.

He couldn't help but ask Chu Shenxiu, "How did your junior brother train?"

Chu Dongjun only dared to convey such joking remarks through his mental power.

Chu Shenxiu ignored Chu Dongjun, silently watching the domineering sword energy that lingered in the sky, his gaze deep.

He actually had the same question: how did Gao Wu train? Even with the consumption of the Level 8 Fish-Dragon Golden Elixir, Gao Wu's progress was still too exaggerated.

To make a simple comparison, at the beginning of last year, his progress in martial arts was faster than Gao Wu's. In just one year, Gao Wu's talent in martial arts must have increased at least several dozen times to achieve such an astonishing performance…

Although he was far surpassed by Gao Wu, he wasn't particularly discouraged. Clearly, this had nothing to do with personal effort anymore…

Chu Yu didn't speak. She just stared blankly at Gao Wu in the tea room, a strange light flashing in her eyes, lost in thought...

Bai Chan also quietly returned to the tea room. Being a decisive person, she directly told Gao Wu, "I lost."

She couldn't withstand that sword strike at all; it was simply too powerful. Her mind was locked onto by Gao Wuru's sword intent, making it difficult for her to dodge.

Moreover, Gao Wu's sword strike was executed with great ease, clearly indicating that he still had energy to spare.

In this respect alone, Gao Wu surpasses her by a great margin in swordsmanship, source power, and mental strength.

Bai Chan raised his teacup and gestured to Gao Wu: "The deputy commander's swordsmanship is unparalleled, far surpassing mine. This cup is for you."

Gao Wu raised his teacup in a gesture of respect: "Ms. Bai, you're too kind. There's no need to take this exchange of skills too seriously."

He was just being polite; if it weren't to intimidate the kings, he wouldn't have used so much force to slash at the sky.

The nine dragons combined to unleash the Heavenly Dragon Sword, truly possessing the power to swallow the heavens and earth. Gao Wu felt a surge of exhilaration upon unleashing this strike.

"The Vice Chief's sword pierces the heavens; it truly broadens our horizons," Tian Wuji complimented.

Tian Wuji had recovered by now. The main problem was that Gao Wu was much stronger than he had expected, and he didn't know how to face Gao Wu.

They discussed some strategies beforehand, but none of them were applicable against the overwhelmingly powerful Gao Wu.

Bai Chan has already admitted defeat, so what else can the others do? Are they going to go up and fight Gao Wu?
It's simple, no one can withstand this sword strike. Not even a burst of power!

Chu Jiuge nodded in flattery: "With such a divine sword, it's no wonder the Vice Commander was able to slay so many level seven demons..."

Yan Qianfeng and Jiang Heng also offered a few compliments. Even if they didn't like words, they were still quite skilled at flattery and politeness.

The five martial kings set aside their airs and showered Gao Wu with praise, instantly creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Gao Wu was quite satisfied with this; everyone was smart enough to know when to advance and when to retreat, which made things easier.

He said, "We need everyone's full support and cooperation for the operation on Dongwei Island..."

The spectacular sight of a sword flashing across the sky quickly spread wildly across various social media platforms.

Most people don't know why this strange sight occurs and make up stories based on their own imagination.

Some insiders pointed out that it was Gao Wu who unleashed the Heaven-Splitting Sword, but these claims were drowned out by various other accounts.

On Dongwei Island, the stunning Venus lazily reclines on a beach chair, watching the azure sea come and go, come and go...

Sengusa City boasts Hokukai Beach with its fine, smooth sand and clear, azure waters, offering stunning seascapes.

Since transforming Dongwei Island into a secret realm, Venus has spent almost every day at Qiancao Beach watching the sea.

Firstly, the scenery here is indeed beautiful, and secondly, there's no one here.

Too many people have died, causing some pollution to the secret realm. Only places far from densely populated areas can avoid pollution and keep the air fresh.

Another reason Venus chose to stay here is that Hai Wuji used to live here.

Hai Wuji was no match for them and fled in disarray, only to be trapped within the secret realm. No one knows where he's hiding now!
Dongwei Island covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, making it a vast area. It wouldn't be difficult to hide hundreds or thousands of people there.

Not to mention that Hai Wuji has spatial abilities, allowing him to hide anywhere on the vast Dongwei Island.

Venus was not in a hurry. Hai Wuji was injured by the divine magic. As long as he touched the barrier of the secret realm space, his whereabouts would be immediately revealed.

Without treatment, the divine magic would continuously erode Hai Wuji's life force, and if this continued, he would inevitably be the first to succumb. However, they gained divine power by sacrificing tens of millions of people. They could have easily spent a significant amount to forcibly activate the divine magic and force Hai Wuji out of his slumber.

So they didn't take action because they wanted to see the alliance's reaction, and ideally lure Qin Jiuyue in.

Qin Jiuyue has changed a lot in the past year; something huge must have happened that they don't know about.

Qin Jiuyue, with whom cooperation was originally possible, must now be eliminated as soon as possible. However, given Qin Jiuyue's gloomy and selfish nature, it's unlikely he'll risk entering Dongwei Island...

Venus was unfazed by the situation; they weren't in a hurry. While tens of millions had completed their sacrifice, the aftermath was proving to be quite troublesome.

If this continues, Dongwei Island will be completely transformed into a secret realm in just a few months, and the other end will be connected to the Federation.

In other words, by using the secret realm as a transit point, the Federation can directly cross thousands of miles of sea to reach the Alliance's gate!

Their relentless efforts to transform Dongwei Island were not only aimed at dealing with Hai Wuji, but also at achieving this crucial strategic objective.

The power of the gods is beyond the comprehension of mortals.

The alliance's martial saints were arrogant and conceited, but they did not understand that the power of mortals is ultimately limited, while only gods possess infinite power.

Even if a martial saint is incredibly powerful, can he break through a secret realm? Can he stop its expansion?
Venus didn't really understand the Alliance's thinking. Just for the sake of so-called human pride and human civilization, they rejected such a powerful life form. It was simply brainless!
This is not a choice that a normal intelligent life form would make.

Such ignorance and arrogance deserve the extinction of the alliance...

Venus is quite happy with her current state. The super blood sacrifice has granted her a large amount of divine power, which is now circulating throughout the entire East Guard Island.

Within this secret realm, their total control over source energy has nearly doubled, while outsiders will experience strong suppression from divine power at the source energy level.

In this environment, she was even confident that she could fight martial saints like Hai Wuji and Qin Jiuyue one-on-one.

Even if she can't win, it doesn't matter. Through the Pantheon, she can quickly summon Poseidon, Apollo, and Ares.

In any case, the four of them are stationed in four different areas, so if one area is in trouble, the other three can quickly gather to provide support.

At crucial moments, all four were able to mobilize divine power to unleash powerful divine spells!
Even if Qin Jiuyue and Wei Qiankun were to break in, they would not return alive.

With this confidence, Venus adopted a fishing mentality; she wasn't in a hurry, the bait was there, and she was just waiting to see when the big fish would bite.

Even if the big fish don't bite, it won't have a big impact. They can stabilize the Dongwei Island secret realm and establish a permanent space transfer station.

If successful, we wouldn't even fear a nuclear bomb dropped by the Allied powers. While nuclear weapons are powerful, their effectiveness is primarily limited to human life. They are unlikely to cause fundamental damage to the geographical environment.

Not to mention that Dongwei Island is so big that even if the Alliance dropped all its nuclear bombs, it still wouldn't be able to sink it.

Venus was relaxed, even feeling like she was on vacation, and had a very comfortable few days.

Helen rushed over with her phone in hand, bowing respectfully: "Teacher, Gao Wu has made another move..."

Venus took the phone and looked at it. It showed a blazing sword light tearing through the sky, stretching forward without end, looking very imposing.

She is fluent in the Alliance language and, after glancing at the related comments, already understood the source of the video.

"Gao Wu has arrived at Zhujun Island. Who is he fighting with?"

Venus stared into thought at the horizontal sword light in the video. It was on this very beach last July that she first saw Gao Wu.

Back then, Gao Wu's source power was strong, but he was only at the fifth level. Less than a year later, Gao Wu advanced two levels and is now a powerful seventh-level Martial King!

She couldn't control Gao Wu in the Pantheon, which made her think the boy had special talent. But she never imagined that in less than a year, Gao Wu would have grown into a level seven expert!
Venus knew how terrifying and absurd Gao Wu's progress was precisely because she had some understanding of Gao Wu.

Even if Gao Wu has divine power, he shouldn't be progressing this fast...

Like Helen, who only advanced to level six even after this super blood sacrifice. In comparison, Gao Wu's progress is truly incredible.

She asked Helen, "What do you think?"

Helen had always held this teacher in high esteem. She cautiously said, "It's probably Gao Wu demonstrating his power to the strongmen of Dongzhou. It's used to intimidate a few level seven experts, and it might be to unify the forces of Dongzhou..."

As Venus's student, Helen had some experience in organizing power dynamics. She could roughly guess Gao Wu's purpose in doing so.

Venus nodded: "Good analysis. So, Gao Wu is preparing to lead people into Dongwei Island?"

Judging from Gao Wu's past behavior, this young man has always been very aggressive and forceful. It's also possible that he did this simply to show off his strength.

Helen said, "Teacher, if they want to make a move, they will definitely mobilize resources from all sides, and we can't hide that from them."

They've been doing business with Dongzhou for decades, and have laid a vast network there. Even though several level-seven experts haven't pledged allegiance to them, it doesn't prevent them from obtaining a large amount of important confidential information.

Venus watched the video again and said with some emotion, "Gao Wu's sword strike was really strong, it has reached the limit of level seven."

She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke: "Is Qin Jiuyue really willing to use high-level martial arts to scout ahead? Or are they already prepared to launch a full-scale attack on Dongwei Island? I'm really looking forward to it..."

Once Gao Wu is in her hands, she will dissect him and study him thoroughly, inside and out, to see what makes him so special!
