Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 552 - 357: Stalemate

When Gu Fengchen departed, Gu Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Gu Qingfeng beside him.

"Father, it seems that my great-grandson is not simple!"

Being someone with a Divine Body himself, Gu Xiu was quite sensitive to the aura of other Divine Bodies.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Gu Fengchen only recently awakened the Star Tao Body!"

"Star Tao Body!"

This statement caused Gu Xiu’s complexion to change slightly.

"Isn’t that the Star Tao Body, ranked twenty-seventh!"

The world has many special constitutions.

Any special constitution that can rank within the top hundred is considered top-notch.

Of course.

It’s not to say that just because it’s ranked in the top hundred, it’s stronger than those after one hundred.

This ranking.

Is based on the strength and achievements of past holders of the constitution.

Gu Xiu’s Undying Divine Body, for instance, is ranked ninth, but this doesn’t mean the ninth-ranked Undying Divine Body is definitely stronger than the twenty-seventh-ranked Star Tao Body.

Any Divine Body that can rank within the top hundred has mostly seen someone emerge at the Emperor Realm.

On this point.

Divine Bodies after the one-hundred mark are not as remarkable.

Therefore.

Upon learning Gu Fengchen awakened the twenty-seventh ranked Star Tao Body, Gu Xiu felt quite shaken inside.

Then.

He was overjoyed: "This means our Gu Family has three Divine Bodies!"

One Undying Tao Body!

One Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body!

One Star Tao Body!

Even many ancient and archaic forces may not produce a single Divine Body, yet the Gu Family now possesses three, which is truly astonishing.

To put it bluntly.

With these three Divine Bodies alone, the Gu Family could grow into a top-tier Imperial Clan.

After all—

Three Divine Bodies.

Each ranked within the top hundred.

Given enough resources, the probability of entering the Emperor Realm in the future is not trivial.

"Currently, I must oversee the Demon Suppression Immortal City; the Star Dynasty has colluded with Evil Spirits, sacrificing an entire province’s creatures in a blood ritual. It’s incited wrath among the heavens and people. The Divine Martial Dynasty and other forces have dispatched troops against the Star Dynasty, and the situation there is likely far from optimistic.

Right now, aside from your father, the Divine Martial Dynasty has no combat strength above the Saint Realm.

You have just come from the Demon Realm. It would be opportune for you to go to the Star Dynasty; perhaps you can make a difference!"

"But before heading to the Star Dynasty, first visit the capital and meet your elder brother!"

Gu Qingfeng said.

He had already acknowledged Gu Xiu’s strength.

The latter’s cultivation has reached the Semi-Saint tier, at the peak level of Semi-Saint combat strength.

Moreover.

Gu Qingfeng remembers.

Gu Xiu has already completed the first layer of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.

If he utilizes the Heavenly Vein’s power, he can easily match a Saint; with the incomplete Imperial Weapon in hand, Gu Xiu’s strength surpasses many Saints.

Otherwise.

Gu Xiu couldn’t have instantly slain the Erosion Moon Demon Monarch of the Second Layer Heaven.

To be blunt.

Gu Xiu’s current strength ranks first among many Gu Family descendants.

Of course.

This refers to overall strength.

Excluding Divine Weapons and Supreme Treasures, in a one-on-one fight, Gu Xiu’s strength might not necessarily compare to Gu Yang.

Although Gu Xiu possesses an Undying Divine Body, Gu Yang has also cultivated the Heavenly Vein True Scripture to the second layer.

The advantage of an extra Heavenly Vein makes it possible to bridge the gap between Divine Bodies.

Furthermore.

Gu Yang’s foundation itself is extraordinary.

"I understand, Father!"

Gu Xiu naturally nodded at Gu Qingfeng’s advice.

However.

Just as he was about to leave, Gu Qingfeng brought out the last Undying Immortal Medicine.

"This is the Undying Immortal Medicine. Consuming it can grant you another lifetime. Your elder brother and second brother have already consumed it; this remaining one is reserved for you!"

"But with your current cultivation, consuming the Undying Immortal Medicine isn’t necessary. You might as well wait until after the Heavenly Dao suppression lifts and use this Immortal Medicine to reach the Saint Realm!"

Gu Qingfeng added a reminder at the end.

Gu Xiu looked at the Undying Immortal Medicine before him, his face overwhelmed with shock.

"Undying Immortal Medicine!!"

Gu Xiu had only occasionally heard the Emperor Extreme Great Saint mention such legendary medicine.

This kind of medicine defies the heavens, nearly unreachable for the Quasi Emperor.

No matter how Gu Xiu racked his brain, he never thought a day would come where an Undying Immortal Medicine would be presented to him so openly.

Subsequently.

Gu Xiu took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the medicine with both hands.

"Thank you, Father!"

He did not refuse.

Because Gu Xiu knew well, Gu Qingfeng presenting the Undying Immortal Medicine indicated the latter had no shortage of such treasures.

Moreover.

From what Gu Xiu understood.

The Undying Immortal Medicine only affects cultivators below the Emperor Realm.

Once a cultivator enters the Emperor Realm, the traits gained from the medicine will be entirely stripped away.

Gu Xiu was unsure about others but believed Gu Qingfeng’s attainment of the Great Emperor was inevitable.

With his father’s strength, breaking through to the Emperor Realm would be a breeze.

For others, the Undying Immortal Medicine is invaluable, but his father may not even regard it.

Honestly speaking.

Even with the Undying Divine Body, Gu Xiu lacked confidence in guaranteeing his own breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.

Because throughout history, not every Undying Divine Body attained the Emperor Realm.

The Great Emperor is the end goal of cultivation.

All beings strive.

Yet truly reaching the pinnacle is limited to a handful.

Receiving the Undying Immortal Medicine, Gu Xiu did not consume it immediately but followed Gu Qingfeng’s instructions to go to the capital to meet Gu Yang.

Gu Xiu is not yet a century old; with the thousand-year lifespan of a Semi-Saint, he has no need for such medicine.
