Chapter 1352 - 226: Gong Xuantian

Chapter 1352: Chapter 226: Gong Xuantian

"Indeed."

Shenxu nodded and said.

"Since the fall of the Primordial Emperor ten thousand years ago, no formidable experts have surfaced in the Human Clan. Hundreds of years ago, we sent envoys to the outside world once, and at that time, the spiritual energy in the outer world was already very weak.

Not to mention Divine Realm cultivators, there wasn’t even a single person at the Saint Entry level."

At this point.

He paused for a moment and then continued, "However, when we entered the outer world, we discovered a problem: there were humans outside who borrowed the power of the Demon Evil Clan to gain strength beyond their own.

But such an approach is akin to drinking poison to quench thirst, achieving no substantial success. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Logically, there shouldn’t be any threats posed by strong beings at the Divine King level."

"That kid Ji Ying, I remember seeing him a few times."

"I have brought him to see Supreme Elder a few times in the past, and over a hundred years ago, Supreme Elder even bestowed upon him one of his avatars."

Shenxu reminded.

The young Divine King’s expression became clear: "That’s true, I almost forgot."

With the long years lived by a Fourth Realm of God King level expert, many unimportant things wouldn’t be specifically remembered.

Only when reminded would he recall them.

Then, he looked at the person below: "So, your purpose in coming here is to ask me to step in?"

"In the sect, Ji Ying’s soul lamp is still alight, and no anomaly indicating the fall of any Divine King can be observed. This means the Profound Yin Divine King is still alive, but since the outer world can prevent any information from coming back from a Sun and Moon Divine King, the danger must at least be at the Universe level.

If we speculate further, reaching the Rule Divine King level isn’t impossible.

I am currently at the Third Realm of God King, confident of not being inferior to my peers at the same level, but if faced with a Fourth Realm of God King level expert, it would be difficult to contend against."

Shenxu voiced his concerns calmly.

The young Divine King nodded: "All right, let me see what exactly has transpired!"

Upon finishing.

A divine light gathered in his eyes, and scenes floated from there.

It was what Ji Ying’s Divine King Avatar had witnessed after being deployed.

Eventually.

A blade light of earth-shattering power shattered all of those scenes.

The young Divine King instinctively closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there were faint blood vessels within.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"I didn’t expect that after so many years of Gong Xuantian not appearing, such a strong force would emerge externally. The power of that blade is no less than that of a Rule Divine King. Your concerns are justified; this person is not one that ordinary Divine Kings can deal with."

Gong Xuantian’s voice was icy.

Within the words were hints of killing intent, but also a desire to fight.

Being able to annihilate one’s Divine King avatar in one slash can be accomplished by any reasonably powerful Divine King.

After all, the avatar does not contain much of the owner’s power, merely created casually.

However, the might contained within that slash shocked him.

Indeed!

Receiving a definite answer, Shenxu’s heart trembled involuntarily.

Regarding speculations of a Rule Divine King existing externally, he merely guessed.

Gong Xuantian’s words equated to confirming his speculations.

The only thing Shenxu couldn’t understand was how, given the external environment, a Rule Divine King could be born.

Simultaneously, he understood why the external Human Clan dared to establish an Imperial Court.

"No wonder they dared to establish an Imperial Court; it turns out there’s a Rule Divine King stationed there."

"Hmph, just a mere Rule Divine King is hardly concerning; if I step in, I could naturally capture them."

Gong Xuantian sneered.

Thousands of years ago, he had already proven the Path of a Rule Divine King.

For thousands of years.

He has been refining at this level and is no longer reachable by ordinary Rule Divine Kings.

Unfortunately, transitioning from a top Rule Divine King to Divine Lord, although seemingly just a step away, is exponentially harder than gaining proof of the path as a Rule Divine King for an ordinary person.

No matter how much Gong Xuantian secluded himself, he could never truly comprehend it.

"You should return first."

"I shall take my leave then!"

Shenxu bowed again, then turned and left.

With Gong Xuantian stepping in.

The issue about external Divine Kings would cease to be a problem.

Within the vast Central Profound Realm, among the finite number of Rule Divine Kings, the opponent is genuinely at the pinnacle.

Such experts.

Already in a different realm than ordinary Rule Divine Kings.

No matter how powerful that external Rule Divine King may be, they certainly could not be a match for Gong Xuantian, so Shenxu had no concerns.

After his departure.

The elderly man who had closed his eyes abruptly opened them, and an aged voice sounded: "Are you truly intending to act?"

"What else can we do without acting?"

"We humans have been targeted by the Myriad Clans, and if not for the protection of the Central Profound Realm, we would have been annihilated by the Myriad Clans long ago. If you rashly act, once exposed, it would lead to your own demise!"

The elderly Divine King warned.

Gong Xuantian, hearing this, coldly laughed: "What is there to fear, with the Void Realm in place, how could the Myriad Clans find the outer Heaven and Earth or the Central Profound Realm."

"The Demon Evil Clan’s entrance into the outer world ten thousand years ago is enough to indicate that there have been issues with the Void Realm. Now, with supposed Rule Divine King presence outside, have you considered that there might be an underlying conspiracy!"

The elderly Divine King’s expression turned serious.

Given the current external circumstances, let alone a Rule Divine King, even a Heaven and Earth Divine King would find it hard to be nurtured.

Now that a Rule Divine King has emerged, saying there’s no problem inside is absolutely impossible.

That being the case.

If the Heavenly Dao Sect truly wants to take action, it would be akin to walking right into a trap.

Gong Xuantian was noncommittal about this: "If the Void Realm really has problems, and the Myriad Clans find the external heaven and earth, then finding the Central Profound Realm is only a matter of time. Since it will happen sooner or later, why should we hesitate?

I have a premonition that if we truly have a life-and-death battle with that Divine King, we might find a way to prove the path to Divine Lord.

If we truly can prove the path to Divine Lord, when the Myriad Clans attack, we will have a better chance of survival!"

The old Divine King was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head: "The Central Profound Realm is extraordinary. Even if the external heaven and earth are overrun, with the means of the Myriad Clans, they might not necessarily find this place.

If you don’t leave, there is no problem, but if you do leave, your life is uncertain."

"You have been a Divine King for too long, long enough to lose your enterprising spirit!"

Gong Xuantian stared into the other’s eyes, speaking each word with emphasis.

"Our cultivation is like sailing against the current; if we don’t advance, we retreat. Why have we secluded ourselves for tens of thousands of years and never proven the path to Divine King? Previously, I didn’t understand, but now I do.

We haven’t proven the path to Divine King because we’ve been complacent for too long, long enough to completely lose the original intention to prove the path.

Hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening. If you don’t go, then I will."

"But there is one thing you can rest assured."

"Even if I fall in the outside world, I will absolutely not implicate the Central Profound Realm in the slightest!"

As Gong Xuantian finished speaking, a sharp aura emanated from him.

Having said this much,

The old Divine King could only shake his head: "Very well, since you have made up your mind, I won’t dissuade you. Perhaps you are correct, but there’s one thing I must remind you: tens of thousands of years of cultivation is not easy, so don’t lose it all in one morning."

"I am well aware!"

...

Name: Shen Changqing

Faction: Imperial Court

Identity: Defender of Human Clan

Realm: Cave Heaven

Cave Heaven: Eighty-nine

Dharma:

Law: Star River Law (thirty percent, can be enhanced), Annihilation Blade Path Law (fifty percent, can be enhanced), Flowing Cloud Law (twenty percent, can be enhanced), Space Law (twenty percent, can be enhanced), Mortal Dust Law (ten percent, can be enhanced) (omitted)

Origin: Omitted

Origin Point: 0

After exhausting the last of the origin points, Shen Changqing withdrew his mind from the panel.

Eighty-one Divine Skills.

The remaining one hundred and fifty-eight origin points were just enough to elevate them all to law level.

Among them,

Enhancing four first-grade Divine Skills used four origin points.

The remaining seventy-seven Divine Skills used one hundred and fifty-four origin points.

Similarly, after exhausting all the origin points, his gains were astonishing.

Inside his body,

The Cave Heaven had officially expanded from three feet directly to four feet.

When the Cave Heaven expanded to four feet, Shen Changqing felt as if he had broken through some bottleneck, with his strength increasing more dramatically than any previous coagulation of laws.

If it were said that,

At the previous three feet Cave Heaven, his strength among Rule Divine Kings was considered strong.

Then now at four feet Cave Heaven, his strength among Rule Divine Kings is firmly at the pinnacle.

"Even at four feet Cave Heaven, if I could expand to five or six feet, would I have the potential to rival a Divine Lord?"

Such a thought emerged in Shen Changqing’s mind, and then he shook his head to dispel it.

The gap between a Divine Lord and Divine King is not easily bridged.

Even a top Divine King is decidedly not a match for a Divine Lord.

Otherwise,

Divine Lords would not possess a transcendent status in the Heavens.

To truly rival a Divine Lord is not something achievable by merely expanding the Cave Heaven a few more feet.

"Let’s take it one step at a time, now it’s just the beginning of four feet Cave Heaven, and I haven’t yet comprehended a hundred laws, speaking of rivaling a Divine Lord is somewhat too distant."

Shen Changqing chose not to dwell on this issue further.

"Next, I need to thoroughly interrogate the God King of the Heavenly Dao Sect to see if there’s a way to obtain brand-new Divine Skills from her."

His gaze was slightly cold.

The Profound Yin Divine King definitely still has some benefits that can be extracted.

If she truly can’t give him what he wants, then he will kill her again.

Anyway, now that he has comprehended eighty-nine laws, utilizing the power of laws to form a bridge communicating with the Endless Void is entirely feasible.

In this way,

He essentially possesses the means to annihilate a Divine King.

Just now having exhausted all the origin points, he also needs to find a way to replenish.

Additionally,

Shen Changqing was also curious,

Just how many origin points can a single Sun and Moon Divine King contribute to him?

At this thought,

He did not immediately head to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate the Profound Yin Divine King, but with a thought, a long sword emitting a cold, sharp light appeared in his hand.
