Chapter 187

With the fall of Gu Tiangang and the instant slaying of the ancient Saint Dao Xueshan, Gu Huang Dongtian's power plummeted to rock bottom.

The death of Gu Tiangang had already dampened the morale of the Gu Huang faction, and now the fall of Dao Xueshan was the final straw, completely crushing them.

In an instant, the Gu Huang camp collapsed completely.

Many cultivators were slaughtered, while others threw down their weapons and chose to surrender.

Elder Yang Yan of the Immortal Nation immediately ordered the sealing of the cultivation of all surrendering forces, temporarily imprisoning them. How to deal with them would be decided later.

After dealing with a batch of cultivators, Yang Yan, along with Gu Fang and others, led the remaining cultivators to advance into Gu Huang Dongtian.

Their intention was to completely eradicate this force that had existed since ancient times.

The enmity between the Qingyang Realm and Gu Huang originated from the three great Dongtians. For other forces, there might be a glimmer of hope, but the fate of Gu Huang Dongtian was already sealed—destruction.

Due to the loss of many strong fighters, the remaining cultivators of Gu Huang Dongtian were unable to resist the fierce attack of the Qingyang Immortal Nation.

In just half a day, with the fall of the last person in Gu Huang Dongtian, this ancient force finally met its end.

In the grand hall of Dongtian, where the high-ranking members of Gu Huang Dongtian once sat, now sat the high-ranking members of Qingyang Immortal Nation.

All the elders of the Immortal Nation and powerhouses above Tier Six gathered together, the atmosphere extremely tense.

"Gu Huang Dongtian is now history. This news cannot be hidden for long. In a few days, the other two Dongtians will surely learn of it. Soon, the entire Gu Huang and even the Xianhuang Zhongzhou and other places outside Gu Huang will respond quickly," Ji Xuan said, scanning the crowd.

"We now face two options: one, immediately withdraw to the Qingyang Realm; two, consolidate the Immortal Nation's foundation in Gu Huang before other forces react. In this way, even if Xianhuang Zhongzhou and other places take action later, the Immortal Nation can contend with them."

"However, Xianhuang Zhongzhou and other places are full of strong fighters, far surpassing Gu Huang. Gu Huang might barely contend with an emperor-level force at full strength, but this is without the use of imperial weapons. Once imperial weapons are used, Gu Huang's power cannot compete."

"Elder Gu and others should understand this deeply," Ji Xuan said, turning his gaze to Gu Fang.

Over the years, Ji Xuan had not joined the top forces like others but had roamed the Wuxian Realm as a rogue cultivator, setting up his sect quietly and accumulating resources.

However, his understanding of the Wuxian Realm, especially intelligence on various forces, was deep.

There were differences in strength between Dongtians, and these differences were far greater than those between ordinary forces.

A Dongtian founded by a Saint could not compare to one left by an emperor. The latter only needed to use a bit of its foundation to easily destroy a Saint-level Dongtian.

If imperial weapons were used, a Saint Dongtian would be instantly annihilated.

Although Ji Xuan had never seen the power of an imperial weapon firsthand, records in many ancient texts of the Wuxian Realm suggested that the mere presence of an imperial weapon was enough to make ordinary quasi-emperors retreat.

Every emperor-level force with an imperial weapon was like having a living quasi-emperor. Even though this power could not be used at will.

Gu Huang Dongtian still had ancient sleeping Saints, and other emperor-level forces might have Saints, even self-sealed quasi-emperors.

With the current strength of the Qingyang Immortal Nation, dealing with Gu Huang might be more than enough, but facing the forces of Xianhuang Zhongzhou and other places seemed beyond their reach.

After all, Qingyang Immortal Nation currently only showed Tier Six powerhouses, without any sign of Tier Seven powerhouses.

As for the nation's lord, it was hard to say.

He could kill two Saints in an instant, his strength unfathomable, but Ji Xuan had no idea what realm he was in.

Hearing this, Gu Fang said, "In Zhongzhou, there are many emperor-level forces. Take the Feng family, where I used to belong, for example. It is an ancient emperor-level force with powerful beings sealed in its ancestral tombs from ancient times. In Zhongzhou, there are many forces of the same level, such as the War God Hall where Brother Chu belongs, also an emperor-level force."

"Not to mention the areas outside Zhongzhou, such as Xianhuang and Tianhuang, which are also full of strong fighters. Given the current strength of Qingyang Immortal Nation, it is impossible to contend with these emperor-level forces. However, let's not forget that Qingyang Immortal Nation was founded by the nation's lord. Whether to directly occupy Gu Huang and confront the emperor-level forces, we need to seek the lord's opinion."

"We, as elders of the Immortal Nation, have no right to decide this, as it concerns the life and death of Qingyang Immortal Nation and even the Qingyang Realm."

Gu Fang's words were like a wake-up call, making everyone present realize.

Indeed, why worry so much?

Whether to start a war was not for them to decide; it all depended on the lord's will.

If the lord agreed, it meant he had the confidence to deal with the emperor-level forces.

Conversely, if the lord disagreed, what was there to discuss?

They would just go back home.

After all, if even the lord was not confident in fighting the emperor-level forces, their Tier Six cultivators would just be throwing their lives away.

Just as Gu Fang finished speaking, a vast heavenly might suddenly descended, and Lu Qingyang's figure appeared in the hall.

Everyone stood up hurriedly and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Their voices were full of awe.

After all, this was the terrifying existence that had slain two Saints; how could they dare show any disrespect?

"Gu Huang Dongtian is destroyed. Next, the Qingyang Immortal Nation should use thunderous means to sweep away the remaining two Dongtians, subdue all forces, and use this place as a foundation to formally advance into the Wuxian Realm. Additionally, I already have a group of followers in the Wuxian Realm who will join Qingyang Immortal Nation."

"Know that the universe is vast, far beyond just Qingyang and Wuxian. The ambition of Qingyang Immortal Nation is not limited to these two realms but to the stars and the sea. I look forward to the day when Qingyang Immortal Nation can reign over all realms and dominate the galaxy. Therefore, endless slaughter is not the best strategy. Apart from the three great Dongtians, subdue all forces that can be subdued, and eliminate those that cannot be subdued!"

With these words, Lu Qingyang's figure disappeared again, leaving everyone in shock, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
