Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 1166 - 655: The Gu Family’s Heritage

"Immortal!"

Although Gu Yang had anticipated it in his heart, when Gu Qingfeng personally confirmed that he had reached the peak of Nine Tribulations, possessing the qualification to challenge the supreme Immortal Heavenly Venerate Realm, Gu Yang’s heart could not help but throb violently.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, but his voice still carried a trace of disbelief: "If I remember correctly... Father, since you ascended to the Upper Realm, it has only been less than eighty million years, hasn’t it?"

Less than eighty million years!

For mortals and even low-level cultivators, this is an unimaginably long time.

But in the Endless Immortal Domain, in the cultivation world where time is often measured in billions of years, especially for powerful beings who have reached the Heavenly Venerate Level, eighty million years may only be enough for them to break through from the First Tribulation to the Second Tribulation, or to complete a retreat for enlightenment.

Yet his father had, in this short span of time, completed a journey that other geniuses and demons might take tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years to accomplish.

From an ascender, progressing unstoppably all the way to the peak of Nine Tribulations, even possessing the terrifying combat power to defy and strike down Immortality!

"In eighty million years, you have stepped into the peak of Nine Tribulations, knocking on the door of immortality..."

Gu Yang did not continue, because he found that any words in the face of such an achievement, worthy of being called a myth, were pale and weak. The shock on his face lingered for a long time.

But soon, this shock was replaced by a sense of relief that seemed natural.

He recalled countless miracles his father had created in the past.

With the Nine Tribulations Body, he fiercely resisted and suppressed the illusion of the Immortal God Master, founded the Profound Celestial Immortal Court, and achieved sudden promotion.

Compared to these incredible feats, reaching the peak of Nine Tribulations in eighty million years seemed not so difficult to accept.

After all, his very existence continuously redefined the boundaries of common logic.

Gu Qingfeng took in all the changes in Gu Yang’s expression with just a faint smile, indifferent to the shock his achievements had caused, and instead redirected the conversation to him: "No need to marvel at others. You have now entered the Seventh Tribulation Realm, with solid roots and Qi Fortune upon you.

In the future, you need only to focus quietly and carefully hone your path. Breaking through to the Nine Tribulations Realm will be no feat difficult for you."

His words were not empty consolation.

As the Crown Prince, Gu Yang possessed both superior talent and disposition. Now with the immense Qi Fortune of the Immortal Court continuously nurturing him, his path of cultivation is already laid on a broad road.

As long as he does not fall mid-way or become complacent, progressing to the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerate is almost a foregone conclusion.

Of course, Gu Qingfeng was well aware of the terrifying gap between the Nine Tribulations and Immortality.

In the Endless Immortal Domain, among the vast rivers of history, the emergence of Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerates was numerous.

But those who eventually broke free from restraints, attaining true immortality through body and Dao integration, were few and far between, always just that small wedge at the top of the pyramid.

This requires not only heaven-defying qualifications but also unreplicable supreme opportunities, and a touch of elusive luck.

Gu Qingfeng knew that his rapid rise to this point was largely reliant on the Underworld within his sea of consciousness and the existence of the Netherworld Path.

This was inherently an extraordinary opportunity and miraculous fortune.

He believed that the rise of other Immortal Heavenly Venerates must also be accompanied by their unimaginable encounters.

Opportunities, too, are a part of strength, perhaps even the most crucial part.

In a sense, who entering the Heavenly Venerate Realm doesn’t have some opportunities unique to themselves?

It’s just that the size and level of such opportunities determine how far they can ultimately go.

Putting this aside, Gu Qingfeng switched topics, his expression returning to calm, as he inquired, "This retreat lasted over thirty million years.

In the midst of the changing winds and clouds outside, and both within and outside the Immortal Court, were there any major upheavals?"

On such a serious topic, Gu Yang immediately became spirited, restraining all idle thoughts as his face turned solemn. Bowing respectfully, he reported: "To enlighten my father, two million years ago, the protracted tug-of-war on the immortal level reached a temporary conclusion, with both sides laying down their arms.

Rumors circulated that immortal beings on both sides suffered injuries, more than just one.

As for the details of the battle and its damages, my level is insufficient to grasp the full picture."

He paused, then continued: "After this battle, the situation took a precipitous turn.

The final veil between the two clans was utterly torn apart, the previous tacit agreement that immortals would not engage has completely vanished.

For nearly two million years, the war between the two clans has fully escalated, transforming into a blood-soaked battle sweeping the entire Endless Immortal Domain!

The frequency of actions by immorality-level entities has significantly increased, though often still restraining each other, has become more frequent."

Gu Yang’s tone carried gravity: "Because of this, over the past two million years, the rate and number of fallen strong figures from both clans have far exceeded any previous period.

Heavenly Venerates have fallen like rain, and even Great Heavenly Venerables at the Seven and Eight Tribulations level have perished on the battlefield."

"As for our Profound Celestial Immortal Court."

Gu Yang looked towards Gu Qingfeng and reported.

"Thanks to the residual prestige of Father and the steady Qi Fortune of the Immortal Court, overall, although we have endured several focused assaults from the Evil God Clan, they have all been averted and have not shaken our foundations.

However, border skirmishes have intensified, the number of fallen soldiers has increased, and resource consumption is enormous."

He hesitated slightly, yet still shared his judgment, his words carrying implicit meaning.

"It now appears that the Evil God Clan has gone utterly mad, their attacks more fierce and unrestrained than before.

What Father had previously predicted as a three hundred billion years of relative calm due to Emperor Ziwei’s Tribulation of Transcendence seems to have completely turned into an illusion with the premature detonation of this full-scale war."
