404: Void Tower

“Initially, the Tai Shang Sect grew powerful, supporting an Imperial Dynasty and holding sway in the Central Continent, making it the leader of all great sects and schools under heaven!”

“Those high and mighty Immortal Emperors began to panic. They were afraid, afraid that the Tai Shang Sect would threaten their status.”

“I’m sure you’ve all heard of the legend of the supreme jade drum. Here, I can tell you clearly that the legend is true.”

“The Tai Shang Sect truly possesses a trump card that even Immortal Emperors fear. The Four Great Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm’s east, west, south, and north, they don’t fear the death of their subordinates, nor the death of other Immortal Emperors, but they fear the Tai Shang Sect using the jade drum to perish with them.”

“Furthermore, the Mortal Realm is protected by the Will of Heaven and Earth, making the cost of attacking it too great. Therefore, the eastern, southern, and northern Immortal Emperors sent Loose Immortals to the Lower Realm to establish the Three Great Dynasties, driving the Tai Shang Sect out of the Central Continent.”

“Since then, not only has the Tai Shang Sect been suppressed, but all Holy Lands in the Five Continents have been restricted by the Three Great Dynasties, making development difficult.”

“We didn’t announce this news before because we feared you would panic, fearing the enemy was too strong, leading you to lose the motivation to Cultivate.”

“But today, with the death of the three Immortals, it means we are about to enter the Immortal Emperors’ sights.”

Speaking of this, Gu Liangyuan paused slightly.

He had originally planned to develop slowly and discreetly, thinking that once everything was mature, the Great Abyss would send out troops, swiftly annihilate the Three Great Dynasties, and directly leap two Ranks, allowing the Great Abyss to advance from a Dynasty to an Empire, and then directly to an Imperial Dynasty.

By then, with the blessing of the West Heaven Gate, the eighteen hundred worlds in the west should have been mostly resolved.

Then, with a call to arms, a quarter of the Mortal Realm’s territory would fall into the hands of the Great Abyss, advancing to a Heavenly Dynasty!

By then, with the Hunyuan Grand Array and Medicinal Pills rewarded by the System, plus the trump cards in his hand, he would at least be able to contend with the Four Great Immortal Emperors.

However, he didn’t expect that all these plans would be disrupted by the appearance of the three Immortals.

Gu Liangyuan didn’t think the Three Great Dynasties wouldn’t report to the Immortal Emperors.

But Gu Liangyuan didn’t feel disheartened or helpless because of this; instead, a sense of pressure release emerged deep within his heart.

Previously, he had always been cautious due to concerns about the Immortal Realm.

Now that the worst had already happened, what was there to fear!

These thoughts flashed through Gu Liangyuan’s mind as his gaze swept over everyone present:

“Therefore, I want you to Cultivate even harder!”

“Next, all Cultivation resources will be doubled based on the original amount!”

“Prepare for the great war that may occur!”

“If Immortals don’t let us live, then we will slaughter Immortals!”

The bloodlust in everyone’s hearts was also ignited, especially among Cultivators above the Mahayana Rank.

Because for them, with the support of the Dao Alliance’s resources, Immortal Ascension was highly probable.

But after Immortal Ascension, only death awaited them, which was something they absolutely could not accept.

Alliance Master Gu Liangyuan, who rose from obscurity, had repeatedly created miracles.

When facing Di Tian, everyone thought Gu Liangyuan was doomed, but Gu Liangyuan turned around and annihilated Tai Yi.

When gambling against Mo Emperor, no one thought Gu Liangyuan would win.

But Gu Liangyuan not only won but also slapped Mo Emperor several times.

Everyone had witnessed Gu Liangyuan’s miraculousness, so even knowing that Immortals were invincible, they were willing to follow Gu Liangyuan and create another miracle!

“Slaughter Immortals!”

“Slaughter Immortals!”

“Slaughter Immortals!”

At first, only a few people shouted.

But slowly, others were also influenced by these people and followed suit, shouting the slogan of slaughtering Immortals.

In the end, shouts echoed like thunderclaps, resounding throughout the entire Eastern Continent!

Gu Liangyuan slightly raised his hand, and everyone’s voices ceased.

“Go, Cultivate desperately. Only stronger Cultivation is your capital for killing enemies on the battlefield.”

Everyone was silent but determined.

With resolve, some went into secluded Cultivation, while others went treasure hunting.

The entire Eastern Continent presented a scene of positive progress.

Gu Liangyuan descended from the clouds, and Yang Qiong, Lü Qingmei, along with a group of Elders, had already been waiting.

“Gu Liang Junior Martial Uncle…”

“Refer to me by my title when working.”

“Cult Master, was what you just said true?”

“Do you think I would joke about this matter?”

Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei fell silent.

The development of this matter had exceeded their capabilities.

They wanted to help Gu Liangyuan share the pressure, but now, it seemed there was nothing they could do to help besides encouraging everyone’s Cultivation.

Gu Liangyuan noticed the two women’s low spirits and spoke to comfort them:

“I’ll handle everything.”

“Later, send someone to invite the Holy Lords of the other Four Continents to discuss matters in my name.”

“Be careful, do not force them.”

“And don’t keep bringing up my destruction of Rulai Holy Land.”

“If they don’t come, I won’t deal with them the same way I dealt with Rulai Holy Land.”

The two women instantly understood Gu Liangyuan’s meaning; every sentence did not mention a threat, yet every sentence was inseparable from a threat.

So they nodded in agreement.

After comforting the two women, Gu Liangyuan looked at the group of Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators behind them.

At a glance, there were sixty-three of them.

These sixty-three people were all the Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses within the Dao Alliance.

Most of them were in the Thunder Calamity Realm, ten were in the Fire Calamity Realm, and four were in the Wind Calamity Realm.

This combat power was indeed a bit insufficient.

Gu Liangyuan knew that these people’s talents were not bad.

If they had been born in the Immortal Realm, where Immortal Qi was abundant, they would have been existences capable of achieving beyond Heavenly Immortal.

Gu Liangyuan also believed that with the Dao Alliance’s resources, as long as these people were given enough time, they would also achieve extraordinary feats.

But precisely, what the Dao Alliance lacked most right now was time.

How could he quickly raise their Cultivation…

“Ding, sensing the host’s thought, System task issued:”

“Task Name: Mystery of Time”

“Task Content: Find a fragment of the kunlun mirror.”

“Task Reward: Void Tower.”

“Does the host accept?”

Name: Void Tower

Rank: Innate Spirit Treasure

Effect: The tower has nine layers, forming its own Void Realm. The flow of time in each layer is different.

In the ninth layer of the Void Tower, one day outside equals one year inside the tower.

Moreover, the tower contains infinite space, even capable of encompassing a Small World!

An upgraded version of the Enlightenment Tower.

Gu Liangyuan instantly understood the purpose of the Void Tower.

Good stuff, it could perfectly solve his urgent problem!

After silently clicking accept, Gu Liangyuan waved his hand at everyone:

“You all go down first, I’ll stay here for a while.”

Gu Liangyuan wanted to dismiss everyone so he could properly research the whereabouts of the kunlun mirror.

But everyone didn’t know Gu Liangyuan’s intention.

This group of Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators keenly sensed the disappointment in Gu Liangyuan’s eyes when he looked at them earlier.

Their current departure, in their view, was a manifestation of his despondency.

Although Gu Liangyuan didn’t say much, his unintentional actions deeply stimulated them.

Previously, they were high and mighty Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses and didn’t feel much.

Now that a great disaster was approaching, they felt their own insignificance.

It seemed that all of this could only be borne by the Alliance Master himself.

Everyone secretly swore in their hearts that they must Cultivate diligently.
