Gu Chen's retreat this time, because of the existence of Zhouding, took a very short time, and only seven days passed in the outside world.
But these seven days, for the upper world, were the most earth-shaking changes.
The entire power structure in the upper world has changed drastically because of what happened in the past seven days.
The top ten races in the upper world, including the leader of the Purple Blood Tianlong Clan, the leader of the Golden Crow Clan, the ancient ancestor of the Jinpeng Clan, and the leader of the Celestial Silkworm Clan, as well as the leaders of the twelve immortal-level orthodoxy such as the Taoist Master of the Taixu Dao, as well as some hidden forces and questions.
All the old monsters from the Tao realm showed up for an unprecedented gathering.
This gathering is enough to be recorded in the history of cultivation in this era. It is the first time in history!
No one knows what was discussed specifically at this gathering, because even the most powerful people in the Hunyuan Realm were not allowed to attend.
Only those who have reached the ultimate realm of enlightenment are qualified to participate in this gathering.
As for all this, Gu Chen didn't know. Now, he has just finished retreat. His whole body is radiant, filled with overwhelming divine light, and he has reached the extreme level of transcendence.
"Panel." The next moment, with a call from the bottom of Gu Chen's heart, the panel immediately appeared in front of him.
Name: Gu Chen
Kung Fu: Original Immortal Body (fifth level), Zhiyang Tiangong (fifth level), Origin Nerve (fifth level)
Supernatural powers: Destruction of Senluo (fifth level), Supreme Sword Intention (fifth level), Eye of the God (fourth level), Jingjing Holy Emperor Seal (fifth level), Nine Heavens Tribulation Light (fourth level), Sealing the Heaven and the Earth (fourth level)
Grade), Five Seals of Supernatural Power (Fifth Grade), Six Paths of Reincarnation (Fifth Grade), End of the World So Close (Fifth Grade)
Dharma: The Kingdom of Gods, the Only Sanctuary
Cultivation: 140,000 years
Realm: Middle stage of Ascending Heaven Realm
Work point value: 0
Magical power value: 0
"The magical power values and merit point values on the panel are reset to zero again." Gu Chen glanced at it. As he continued to practice, his consumption increased.
If it were not for the support of an extremely perfect heaven and earth like the Tianzhong World, even if he had merit points and magical power points, every time Gu Chen would break through would be extremely difficult.
"The skill has advanced to a higher level, from the fourth level to the fifth level. The cultivation level has also increased by 20,000 years, reaching 140,000 years. Three Mahayana magical powers have reached the fourth level." Gu Chen looked at it.
Panel, I am very satisfied with my progress this time, although it consumes a lot of money.
Of course, if he hadn't made a breakthrough in his martial arts and magical powers, and understood the origin of heaven and earth more deeply, it would be difficult for Gu Chen to break through in the Ascending Heaven Realm.
As for the increase in mana over 20,000 years, compared to other improvements in a realm like the Ascending Heaven Realm, it does not appear to be that outstanding.
"Thanks to the destruction of the Yasha clan and the gains in the restricted area of life, otherwise, this breakthrough would be really difficult." Gu Chen sighed.
Regardless of whether it is skills or magical powers, reaching this point requires spending a huge amount of skill points and magical power points to increase.
Especially for the skills, the cost of upgrading each level is particularly terrifying, reaching hundreds of thousands, which can be said to be terrifying.
As for magical power, although it is not that terrifying, it reaches tens of thousands, or even close to one hundred thousand points.
"Next, if you want to improve your skills and magical powers, unless you have the help of the original holy objects and magical medicine, otherwise, just relying on the merit points and magical powers will be a huge expense." Gu Chen
Sigh.
Whether it is an original holy object or a magical medicine, the most important thing is not how powerful they are, but the texture of the laws of heaven and earth engraved on them.
If it can be absorbed smoothly, it will be of great use to monks, especially monks in the heavenly realm!
Frankly speaking, Gu Chen's Fiery Divine Vine only absorbed its medicinal effects. To a certain extent, it was wasted.
Gu Chen now regrets that he did not fully understand the texture of the laws and how they are intertwined and constructed.
Because, whether it is an original holy object or a magical medicine, they are all naturally cultivated by the earth, and the laws and textures on them are natural. They describe the most fundamental mysteries of heaven and earth, which are of great help to monks in their practice.
Later, Gu Chen looked inward at the origin and found that just as expected, after experiencing nirvana three more times, the battle scars in his body reached seven, and the number of life stars lit up by his soul also reached seven.
"Ascending to the heaven realm, there is great hope to reach the second level of perfection of the physical body and the soul!" Gu Chen looked shocked.
At the same time, a doubt also arose in his heart.
That is, in the early and middle stages of Ascension to Heaven, he experienced six nirvanas, so if nothing unexpected happens, when he enters the late stage of Ascension to Heaven, there is a high possibility that he will also have Nirvana three times.
In this way, he has reached the limit of the Ascending Heaven Realm, but by then Gu Chen's cultivation level will only be in the late stage of the Ascending Heaven Realm and has not yet reached perfection.
"What will happen if I reach the perfection of reaching heaven?" Gu Shen pondered.
But soon, he couldn't find a clue about this issue, so he put it in the back of his mind and discussed it later.
Afterwards, he came out of seclusion and wanted to know what was going on in the Dongxuan Territory during this period.
"Brother Gu, are you out of seclusion so soon?" Taoist Tianyuan and others were a little surprised to see Gu Chen.
It is very common for monks in the Heaven Realm to stay in seclusion for hundreds of years. It is really rare for them to come out of seclusion in seven days.
"Well, how are things going lately?" Gu Chen asked, without dwelling on this topic.
Seeing this, Taoist Tianyuan and others thought that Gu Chen might have just made a small breakthrough this time and gained some insights, not a breakthrough.
But this was enough to make them sigh. How long had it been since Gu Chen had entered the early stage of Ascension to Heaven Realm? If he had realized this so quickly, wouldn't it be a long time before he could reach the middle stage of Ascension to Heaven Realm, come from behind and surpass all of them?
Already?
"Nowadays, the situation in the upper realm is not optimistic!" But then, through the mouths of Taoist Tianyuan and others, Gu Chen learned everything that happened during the seven days of his retreat.
If you want to say it, there are only four words that can describe it, and that is a river of blood!
In seven days, it can be said that all 3,600 regions in the upper realm have experienced a catastrophe, and the situation in the Dongxuan Region is already considered the best.
"More than half of the eight major realms including the Thunder Territory, the Flood Territory, and the Qi Territory have fallen and are covered by the restricted area of life." Taoist Tianyuan said a piece of news that shocked Gu Chen.
"More than half of the eight major realms are occupied by the restricted area of life?!" Gu Chen's expression condensed.
It should be noted that even the smallest realm covers an extremely vast area, with more than billions of living beings living there.
More than half of the area was swallowed up, which means that in each realm, at least billions of creatures died. Adding up the eight realms, this is a number that makes even the most powerful people tremble when they hear it!
"Not only that, this is already a better situation." Xian Lingqidao said with a heavy face: "There are still more than a dozen realms that have been completely occupied, swallowed up by the restricted area of life, and the demonic energy is overwhelming all day long.
, it’s hard to overflow.”
Gu Chen was shocked. He never thought that in just seven days, the situation would become so serious.
From this point of view, in comparison, the situation in Dongxuan Territory really couldn't be better.
Mu Tian opened his mouth and said: "Even some realms where immortal-level orthodoxy and the top ten races have experienced sudden changes and suffered heavy losses."
Of course, the reason why there was such a big loss was simply because many realms originally had no restricted areas for living beings, and their overall strength was not too strong, and there were no peerless beings in charge. Therefore, this time something unexpected happened, the restricted area for living beings came suddenly.
If you are caught off guard, it will certainly be extremely tragic.
"Moreover, now in the upper world, except for those restricted areas for living beings, evil spirits will travel through the gaps between the two worlds from time to time and come directly." The King of War said in a deep voice.
"Huh?!"
Gu Chen frowned when he heard this. How similar is this situation to the Kyushu in the lower realm?
And the reason for this is proof that the heavens and the world of evil are very, very close!
The Yang world and the underworld collide from time to time, and cracks in space open up, so evil spirits are transported here.
This situation will not be too severe at the beginning, but as time goes by, the number of evil spirits appearing in the upper realm will increase, which is the same as the situation in Kyushu in the lower realm.
And the reason why this occurs is also proof that the catastrophe of the era is getting closer and closer!
Obviously, Taoist Tianyuan and others also knew this very clearly, so they have been feeling extremely heavy during this period of time.
"What happened to Evil King Mountain?" Gu Chen said.
Qidao said: "The dean once said that although the evil king has been sealed, because the power of the restricted area of creatures has been strengthening, it will not be long before the Taoist seals the evil king again. Therefore, the realm of Taoism in the upper world is extremely unstable.
They are all very cautious, staying in their respective realms and not leaving easily."
"But some time ago, these peerless figures gathered together and seemed to have discussed something. The dean once said that there will be a big move in the upper world in the near future." Taoist Tianyuan continued.
"The situation is getting more and more tense." When Gu Chen heard this, he also understood that the top figures who were seeking enlightenment had all become a little anxious, as expected.
Once the underworld invades, the current upper world can be said to be powerless to fight back.
Therefore, the search for the origin of the world will also become a top priority, and if nothing unexpected happens, Gu Chen will very likely become a thorn in the side of some people.
"The Holy Sect will never be lonely. The troubled times in the upper world are very suitable for them to take action." Gu Chen's expression was solemn. He knew that the Holy Sect would definitely wait for the opportunity to move.
And after these experiences, he also knew that he must be a major target of the Holy Sect.
"Gu Chen." At this time, Situ Yin, the dean of Qingyun Academy, appeared.
"I've seen the dean." Everyone was surprised, and then they clapped their fists and saluted.
Dean Situ Yin nodded slightly, and then he took Gu Chen away directly.
When everyone saw this, they were not surprised, they just felt that they were used to it.
With a swish sound, the light and shadow in front of Gu Chen's eyes changed. When his sight returned, he had appeared in the retreat place of Dean Situ Yin.
"Dean, what is this?" Gu Chen looked at him with some confusion.
"Not long ago, the peerless figures in the upper world gathered together, and they discussed a major matter. This matter is exactly what the Taoist Master once told you not long ago." Situ Yin, the dean of Qingyun Academy, said, with a somewhat expression on his face.
Solemn.
"The supreme creation of the monks in the Heaven Realm can break the opportunity to enter the Hunyuan Realm?" Gu Chen's heart moved.
"That's right." Dean Situ Yin nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Great Tribulation of the Era is approaching. You must also know this. The upper world is currently weak in strength. Therefore, peerless figures gathered together and discussed this for a long time. Finally, they decided
, I will spare no effort in expending my energy to open up the most important treasure land in the upper world for you and others, which contains the opportunity to transcend the world and become a saint!"
"An opportunity to become a saint?!" Gu Chen was surprised. Having reached this point in his cultivation, he certainly knew how difficult it was to become a saint and enter the Hunyuan realm.
The perfection of the law is not just talk, it is extremely difficult to achieve this!
Even the top ten races and Immortal-level orthodoxy do not have the ability to stably help monks break through the realm.
But judging from Dean Situ Yin’s intention, this so-called most powerful place of creation in the upper world seems to be really able to do this.
"That is the intersection of the heavens and the universe. There, the laws of the heavens and the world will be clearly manifested, which is somewhat similar to the origin of the holy world." The dean said.
"So there is such a strange place in the upper world?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows. He thought that this kind of shocking creation only existed in the holy world where all realms dominate.
"That place is very important. An era can only be opened once. In order to give birth to more powerful people, those peerless figures will agree to open it."
Dean Situ Yin bluntly said that this place of creation is very important to the upper world. It is hidden in endless dimensions. Only a group of extremely powerful people in the realm of Taoism can activate it.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for this place to come into existence just with the existence of three or four people who have reached the realm of enlightenment.
"This time, many extraordinary figures in the Heavenly Realm, those who were called the ultimate monsters long ago, and even those who dominated the upper world in the younger generation and were invincible for an era, will all go there this time, unwilling to give up this
Opportunity." Dean Situ Yin said solemnly.
After all, they have no chance to participate in the opportunity of the Holy World. This time, they will not let it go no matter what.
And this is also the only time in this great era that the opportunity to break through to the Hunyuan Realm can be determined, which is extremely important to any Ascending Heaven Realm monk.
"The Taoist asked me to ask you, do you have any intention to participate?"
