Chapter 348 Returning to the Great Qian Dynasty to Pay Respects to My Mother!
Not long ago, Gu Jiancheng had already mastered the Azure Dragon Transformation within the Heavenly Outer Heaven.
During the battle in the secret realm, the Azure Dragon Transformation did indeed greatly enhance his combat power.
However, the next stage of the Rising Dragon Transformation has yet to materialize.
Unexpectedly, this fourth level of cultivation technique was actually in Feng Ruoxi's hands!
This was an unexpected and delightful surprise for Gu Jiancheng.
Therefore, all he needs to do is search for the blood of Yinglong.
At that time, the Yinglong Transformation will naturally become one of his trump cards in the struggle between the hundred races.
This is quite important to Gu Jiancheng.
"Yinglong!?"
But inside the Crimson Sky Sword, the Lord of the Azure Dragon couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, saying, "I'm afraid you'll have a hard time finding it."
"Why?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.
Gu Jiancheng still held high hopes for this Yinglong Transformation.
"Because the bloodline of the Yinglong clan is extremely rare and precious, and they are one of the overlords of our dragon clan in this realm."
"Moreover, as far as I know, when the catastrophe first began, the Yinglong lineage was the first to perish and disappear within the Nine Provinces."
"Furthermore, Yinglong is extremely powerful. Even a newly adult Yinglong will reach the fifth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm!"
"The top-tier Dragon Emperors among them will have reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm. If you were to encounter one, you would likely have little chance of winning!" the Azure Dragon Lord explained.
"The fifth level of the Immortal Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's expression also turned cold.
With his current combat strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand even a single move from a fifth-level Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator.
"However, there's no rush. I still have time."
Gu Jiancheng smiled. Even if he were strong enough now, he might not be able to find Yinglong.
Perhaps we should wait and try our luck in the Eight Desolate Regions.
He still has a year left in the Mountain and River Map space, which is equivalent to more than 300 years. When he goes to the Eight Desolate Domains, his combat power will definitely surge again.
Even facing a fifth-level Immortal Ascension Realm expert, there might still be a chance.
Gu Jiancheng originally wanted to thank Feng Ruoxi, but the latter had already closed her cave, so Gu Jiancheng waited at the door for a while before coming down the mountain.
"So fast?"
Feng Ruoxi was taking care of Gu Rou in the room when she was somewhat surprised to see Gu Jiancheng return.
"Otherwise, how long would it take to send just a jade slip?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, then handed the jade slip that Feng Ruoxi had given him to Yun Shuiyao.
"Tsk tsk, this inheritance is quite extraordinary. You'll have a hard time repaying this favor!" Yun Shuiyao laughed.
"Let's continue cultivating, we don't have much time!"
As Gu Jiancheng spoke, he began to sit cross-legged.
"Husband, don't rush into cultivation. Why don't we return to the Holy Realm again?"
But Yunshuiyao suddenly said.
"Back to the Holy Land?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.
"Rou'er was just born not long ago. Don't you want to tell your father and mother about this?" Yun Shuiyao tapped Gu Jiancheng's forehead and smiled.
"Look at me, I was so busy I completely forgot!"
Gu Jiancheng also lightly slapped himself in the face.
He actually forgot something so important.
"Then let's go back now!"
Thus, while everyone else was already in a meditative state, Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao returned to the Sacred Wilderness State with their child in their arms.
When Gu Chenyuan, the ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty, saw his son and daughter-in-law return, he was completely stunned.
In fact, these days, he has also been able to learn from the messages sent back by the Rakshasa Sect that Gu Jiancheng is getting stronger and stronger.
Gu Chenyuan was happy for Gu Jiancheng, but he also knew that the stronger Gu Jiancheng became, the less likely he would be to return in the short term.
But unexpectedly, at this time, Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao suddenly returned to the Great Qian Dynasty.
When he saw that his son and daughter-in-law were holding a child, he was stunned.
"father!"
Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao stepped forward together and knelt down in front of Gu Chenyuan.
"Quickly, get up!"
Gu Chenyuan quickly helped the two up and asked, "Why are you back?"
"And who is this child?"
His gaze remained fixed on the child in Yunshuiyao's arms.
"Father, this is your own granddaughter!"
Gu Jiancheng smiled.
"What!?"
Gu Chenyuan was stunned when he heard this.
Her own granddaughter!?
Even in his wildest dreams, he would never dream of this!
Moreover, the Rakshasa Sect cultivators had never told him this news before.
"Father, your precious granddaughter's name is Gu Rou."
Yun Shuiyao then carried Gu Rou forward, and little Gu Rou opened her chubby arms and called out to her grandfather in a childish voice.
For a moment, Gu Chenyuan's heart was completely melted.
Who could possibly withstand that?!
Immediately, Gu Chenyuan quickly picked up Gu Rou and carried her to his side.
Although Gu Rou still looks like she's only a few months old, she's incredibly beautiful, like a porcelain doll.
This immediately made Gu Chenyuan grin from ear to ear.
"You two kids, why didn't you tell your father about something this big beforehand?"
After a while, Gu Chenyuan hugged Gu Rou and complained.
"Oh, we were so busy, we forgot! We rushed back to see you!"
Gu Jiancheng smiled.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time for the sake of my precious granddaughter!"
Gu Chenyuan finds it hard to get angry these days.
Thus, Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao spent half a day with Gu Chenyuan in the palace with the child before the four of them went to Jiuyi Mountain to defeat their mother.
Upon returning to Mount Jiuyi, Gu Jiancheng, now a father himself, found himself missing his mother even more.
He could imagine how reluctant his mother was to leave him when she passed away.
Thus, Gu Jiancheng knelt before his mother's grave for an entire night.
Yun Shuiyao and Gu Rou silently stayed with Gu Jiancheng until dawn the next day.
“Jian Cheng, get up. I believe your mother would be very pleased in the afterlife.”
"You've all done very well. There are more important matters at the Dao Palace. Go back now!"
At this moment, Gu Chenyuan also came up and pulled Gu Jiancheng up from the ground.
"Yes, Dad, you must take good care of yourself."
Gu Jiancheng asked with concern.
"Hahaha, your old man is still as vigorous as ever, so don't worry about me. Just go and explore. No matter what, this Great Qian Imperial Palace will always be your last safe haven!"
"Bring Gu Rou back whenever you have some free time!"
Gu Chenyuan smiled.
"Alright, Father, don't worry!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded, then had Gu Rou say goodbye to her grandfather. The three of them tore through the void and left Mount Jiuyi in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until long after the three had left that Gu Chenyuan sighed, and his once straight back suddenly bent over.
"Ruan Ruan, do you see? We already have a granddaughter, and our son and daughter-in-law are both powerful figures in the world today."
"If you were still here, how wonderful that would be?"
Gu Chenyuan leaned against the blank stele, sobbing uncontrollably.
But what he didn't see was that water droplets also appeared out of thin air on the blank stele, and then slid down the stele.
……
After returning to the Dao Palace, Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao went straight to the Azure Dragon Treasure Vault. Together with their clone, they sat atop Mount Sacred Crystal, frantically absorbing the energy within. (The core is still being consumed.)
A year is not a long time for outsiders.
But in the space of the landscape painting, more than three hundred years have passed!
In fact, the current flow of time in the Mountain and River Map is already quite astonishing. Even the strongest among the Hundred Races, the Heavenly Palace, can only achieve a flow of time more than three hundred times faster.
In other words, the Landscape Painting actually helped Gu Jiancheng and the others regain a lot of time over the past year.
Since Gu Jiancheng advanced to the Saint King Realm, his cultivation progress has slowed down.
Even though Gu Jiancheng and his clone consumed ninety percent of the Saint Crystals on Saint Crystal Mountain over three hundred years, Gu Jiancheng's cultivation only reached the peak of the Saint King Realm.
Although Gu Jiancheng was somewhat disappointed that he was unable to advance to the Immortal Ascension Realm, the fact that the outside world had almost emptied his family's coffers in just one year was enough to make the Azure Dragon Lord faint several times.
This was a treasure trove that his Azure Dragon clan had accumulated over many years, and Gu Jiancheng had squandered it all.
He truly felt how terrifying Gu Jiancheng was.
You should know that this Sacred Mountain could buy several Supreme Sacred Palaces.
But it turned out that Gu Jiancheng had only been able to cultivate in the outside world for a year, and he hadn't even broken through to the Immortal Ascension Realm yet!
What kind of talent is this?
If Gu Jiancheng wanted to cultivate to the third realm of Immortal Ascension, wouldn't he need hundreds of Sacred Crystal Mountains?!
"A monster! This is a monster!"
Inside the Crimson Sky Sword, the Lord of the Azure Dragon kept muttering to himself.
In contrast to Gu Jiancheng himself, his clone had already advanced to the Immortal Ascension Realm half a year ago, and had been continuously increasing its power through cultivation. Now it has reached the second stage of the Half-Step Immortal Ascension Realm.
Yun Shuiyao and Feng Ruoxi, whose talents are second only to Gu Jiancheng, have also reached the peak of the first level of the Immortal Ascension Realm without any barriers in their cultivation.
Yang Jian, Li Nezha, and the Luo siblings, who followed the two women, cultivated to the Great Perfection of the First Stage of Immortal Ascension.
Other cultivators under the Taiji Sect also ascended to immortality.
After the upheaval at the Holy Dao Palace, everyone entered the Ascension Realm, and Gu Jiancheng's cultivation once again fell to the bottom.
However, in terms of combat strength, Gu Jiancheng is far superior to everyone else.
The six ancient god secrets, which were previously the most difficult to comprehend, have all been mastered to a high level after hundreds of years of cultivation.
In addition to having reached the peak of all his inheritances, Gu Jiancheng has also cultivated the four laws of metal, wood, water and earth in his swordsmanship, besides the law of fire, to the half-step level of Xu Xuan.
Although it is still far from the so-called "Ten Thousand Paths to Profound Understanding," the Five Elements Laws are the easiest for Gu Jiancheng to cultivate to the point of half-step Profound Understanding.
It is very difficult to cultivate other laws without the help of supreme treasures of heaven and earth.
But inside the Azure Dragon Treasure Vault, Gu Jiancheng's eyes snapped open instantly, a dazzling light flashing in his pupils.
The battle for supremacy among the hundred races is about to begin. Even though he failed to advance to the Immortal Realm, this is still the moment when Gu Jiancheng's combat power is at its strongest.
It's time to head to the so-called Eight Desolate Domains!
