Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 487 - 322 Comprehending the Imperial Scripture_2

"It’s said that Great Emperors can live for twelve thousand years; in some sense, I am now not much different from a Great Emperor!"

Gu Yang thought to himself.

Of course,

this referred to lifespan.

However,

the methods of those in the Emperor Realm defy the heavens. Whether they can break the shackles of a twelve-thousand-year lifespan to live even longer is unknown.

On the other side,

within the Gu Family Manor,

as Gu Yang left,

Gu Qingfeng also announced his seclusion.

Three stalks of Undying Divine Medicine.

He gave one to Gu Yang, and the remaining two were temporarily put away, to be given to Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu later when the opportunity arises.

This trip to the Tai Chu Ancient Land,

for Gu Qingfeng,

his greatest gain was not the three stalks of Undying Divine Medicine.

But the Imperial Scripture given by the Black Abyss Emperor.

Imperial Scripture!

Great Imperial Scripture!

This is a supreme cultivation technique that points straight to the Emperor Realm.

Emperor influences like the ancient Qin Family naturally possess Imperial Scriptures, but these scriptures are not easily obtained even by direct lineage, let alone others.

Gu Qingfeng took out the stele.

At that instant,

the Grinding Blade Hall came under pressure.

The various divine weapons, upon sensing the immense Emperor’s might from the stele, trembled violently, generating an uncontrollable sense of fear.

After all,

although the divine weapons in the Grinding Blade Hall had undergone profound transformations from Gu Qingfeng’s true intent,

they were still insignificant before a Great Emperor.

Gu Qingfeng’s divine thought entered the stele.

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure swept over like the collapse of heaven and earth, causing Gu Qingfeng’s head to buzz and his sea of consciousness to quake violently, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng’s sea of consciousness was stable. Despite enduring such pressure, he was able to maintain his composure.

Then,

under the Emperor’s might, Gu Qingfeng began to comprehend the profound mysteries hidden within the stele.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

Gu Qingfeng paid no attention to external affairs.

The abstruseness of the Imperial Scripture surpassed all other cultivation techniques Gu Qingfeng had practiced by countless times.

It was only because his cultivation had advanced to the Great Saint Realm and he had studied numerous cultivation divine powers that he barely qualified to understand the Imperial Scripture.

Otherwise,

it would have been impossible for an ordinary cultivator to comprehend the Imperial Scripture from the stele.

This does not mean,

ordinary cultivators cannot practice the Imperial Scripture.

The difference is,

having someone to guide you,

or relying on your own understanding of the Imperial Scripture.

These are two different concepts.

The Imperial Scripture carried by the stele is the original creation of the Black Abyss Emperor.

The Great Emperor’s might is like a prison.

While comprehending the profound mysteries of the Imperial Scripture, cultivators must also withstand the Emperor’s might.

Moreover—

the Dao Rhythm of the Great Emperor is elusive and inscrutable.

To truly understand these is no easy task.

It might take half a year!

Or it might take a year!

Or even ten years!

...

Gu Qingfeng had forgotten how many days had passed when he finally comprehended the final hint of the Great Emperor’s Dao Rhythm.

At this point,

his mind contained

an entire supreme Great Imperial Scripture.

"Abyss Scripture!"

This is the name of the Great Imperial Scripture.

Abyss!

Referring to the Black Abyss of the Black Abyss Emperor!

Then,

Gu Qingfeng calmed his mind and looked at his attribute panel.

...

...

"Eighteen years!"

Gu Qingfeng’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Even though he knew that comprehending the Imperial Scripture would take quite some time, he didn’t expect that one session would last for eighteen years.

"Eighteen years in seclusion!"

"This is probably the longest seclusion I’ve ever had in my life!"

Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but shake his head.

In the past, although he often went into seclusion, the duration was usually not too long.

Every few months, or a year and a half at most, he would come out once, so it wasn’t truly isolating himself from the world.

This time, however, he had stayed in seclusion for eighteen years straight, without taking a single step out of the Grinding Blade Hall. This was a first for many years.

This seclusion.

Made Gu Qingfeng realize even more.

As his cultivation improved, the time he would spend in future seclusions would likely get longer and longer.

If he couldn’t elevate the cultivation of his descendants, there might come a day when he emerged from seclusion to find that everything had changed, the world completely different.

"But fortunately."

"Cultivators have long lifespans."

"Even a Great Grandmaster can live four thousand years; eighteen years of seclusion is nothing."

"For mortals, though, eighteen years would be far too long!"

Taking a deep breath.

Gu Qingfeng looked elsewhere.

Eighteen years of accumulation.

Had also allowed him to accumulate over sixty-nine thousand upgrade points.

This was the first time for Gu Qingfeng to accumulate so many upgrade points.

"With sixty-nine thousand upgrade points, if I use them all for enhancement, I believe I can perfect the Nine Heavens Scripture and directly step into the Saint King Realm!"

Such thoughts appeared in Gu Qingfeng’s mind.

The Great Saint level.

Each breakthrough required only five thousand upgrade points.

And for the Saint King level breakthroughs, although it would require more, it wouldn’t be that much more.

With over sixty thousand upgrade points, breaking into the Saint King Realm would be more than enough.

If it were before, Gu Qingfeng would have immediately used the points to perfect the Nine Heavens Scripture.

However now—

Gu Qingfeng looked at the Abyss Scripture and had different thoughts in his mind. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"The Nine Heavens Scripture is ultimately a lower grade Saint King technique, while the Abyss Scripture is a true Imperial Scripture!"

"No matter what level this Imperial Scripture is, it can never be compared to a Saint King technique."

"Even at the same level, an Imperial Scripture is far more powerful than a Saint King technique—"

With this thought, Gu Qingfeng had made his decision.

Since he had the Imperial Scripture in hand.

He would cultivate the Imperial Scripture first.

As for the Nine Heavens Scripture, he would deal with it later when he had more upgrade points.

Choosing between a Saint King technique and an Imperial Scripture was not a difficult decision.

Anyone with a sound mind would choose the Imperial Scripture.

Though the Imperial Scripture was difficult to cultivate, once successful, it was truly terrifying.

Having made his decision.

Gu Qingfeng did not immediately use the upgrade points but relied on his own aptitude to start cultivating the Abyss Scripture.

As Gu Qingfeng began cultivating, he saw the terrifying nature’s spiritual energy being drawn towards him frantically.

Despite the complexity of the Imperial Scripture.

But with Gu Qingfeng’s Great Saint Realm Third Layer cultivation, getting the Imperial Scripture to the beginner level was not difficult.

In less than a breath.

Gu Qingfeng had reached the beginner level of the first layer of the Refining Body Chapter.

Immediately after.

The Second Layer of the Refining Body Realm!

The Third Layer of the Refining Body Realm!

...

In less than a quarter of an hour.

Gu Qingfeng had cultivated the Abyss Scripture to the Fifth Layer Perfection of the Refining Body Realm.

However.

This level of improvement.

Did not hold much meaning for Gu Qingfeng.

After all, he had already cultivated to the true extreme in the Refining Body Realm.

Such a foundation.

Was something even the Imperial Scripture could hardly compare with.

Therefore.

After reaching the Fifth Layer Perfection of the Refining Body Realm, Gu Qingfeng broke through to higher levels.

Master Realm!

Grandmaster Realm!

Divine Transformation Realm!

Taoist Palace Realm—

Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation seemed to progress smoothly, and within a few days, he had cultivated the Abyss Scripture to the Ninth Layer Perfection of the Taoist Palace Realm.

This change did not surprise Gu Qingfeng much.

After all, before the Saint Realm, Gu Qingfeng had already refined his abilities to the extreme.

Even though the Abyss Scripture could build an unparalleled foundation, it could not compare to the extreme foundation that Gu Qingfeng had forged by integrating various other Cultivation Techniques.

When a cultivator’s development in a certain realm reached the extreme, the technique of that realm would pose no challenge to him.

Thus.

When Gu Qingfeng had cultivated the Abyss Scripture to the Ninth Layer Perfection of the Taoist Palace Realm, he finally encountered a bottleneck.

This bottleneck.

Was both a personal bottleneck.

And a bottleneck imposed by the forces of nature.
