114: Double pupils are the path to invincibility

Gu Jixiao's flat tone made it seem as if it were really just some small toy.

But only Shen Qingyu and Ying Lanfeng knew how terrifying that thing was.

"Alright, let's not mention other things for now. Prepare yourselves, and then let's head out."

Gu Jixiao waved his hand and said.

In his perception, the guests had already arrived in the Imperial Capital.

And after the banquet ended, he should also be about ready to prepare and conduct a lottery draw to see if he could draw something above the Immortal King level to break the Seal on the Heavenly Saint Continent.

Although he could obtain subordinates above the Great Emperor level through the lottery draw and then have them leave the Heavenly Saint Continent to go to other worlds and expand the Imperial Dynasty's territory.

But in his view, the strength of external things was ultimately external; it was still best for one's own self to be strong.

"System, open the panel."

[host: Gu Jixiao]

[Realm: Peak Great Emperor]

[Spiritual Root: saint grade spiritual root]

[Physique: Purple Heaven Divine Body]

[Imperial Dynasty: Ancient Heavenly Dynasty (Your Imperial Dynasty has already occupied one world, please try to explore other worlds.)]

[prestige value: 932,569,856,221]

[Items: 200,000 years of cultivation (unclaimed), Artifact Forging Pavilion (unclaimed), true immortal pill (unclaimed)]

"The speed has picked up. It seems the best way to increase prestige value is still war."

Gu Jixiao thought to himself.

He then walked out of the sleeping quarters together with Shen Qingyu and Ying Lanfeng, who had already finished dressing.

Not long after walking out of the sleeping quarters, Chen Guchuan and Li Xuan appeared before Gu Jixiao.

The two were seen kneeling on one knee, cupping their hands towards Gu Jixiao in a respectful posture.

"Your Majesty, the various major forces have learned that our Ancient Heavenly Dynasty is moving its capital and have come specifically to offer congratulations. They are currently waiting outside to seek an audience with Your Majesty."

And Gu Jixiao had long since sensed their presence. It could be said that after setting up the Four Symbols Grand Formation, everything within the entire Imperial Capital was under Gu Jixiao's control.

"I know. Let's go."

Gu Jixiao led Shen Qingyu and Ying Lanfeng towards the outside of the palace, while Chen Guchuan and Li Xuan hurriedly followed.

Soon, upon arriving outside the palace, they saw a large crowd of experts gathered. The lowest among them were Saint King Great Powers, and there were over thirty Great Emperor Experts.

After all, there weren't many Great Emperors on the Heavenly Saint Continent to begin with; thirty-some appearing was already the limit.

The moment they saw Gu Jixiao, except for the Great Emperors, the other great powers knelt down without a second thought.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Gu Jixiao's strength had already been displayed, naturally winning their respect and awe.

Seeing them all kneeling, Gu Jixiao raised his hand and helped them all up.

"Rise. My Ancient Heavenly Dynasty does not have so many formalities."

Hearing Gu Jixiao speak, the Tiannan Supreme and the other great powers stood up.

"Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory gift specially sent by my Tianguang Holy Land for the relocation of the capital. Please accept it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianguang stepped forward and respectfully presented a storage ring.

As Emperor Tianguang presented his gift, the others saw this and hurriedly followed suit.

Soon, the number of storage rings in Gu Jixiao's hands exceeded a hundred, floating densely around him.

Seeing this, Gu Jixiao showed a look of satisfaction.

"My beloved ministers, you have come, so why bring gifts? Since it is the capital relocation of my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, I will naturally not mistreat you beloved ministers who have come from afar."

"I have already ordered a banquet to be prepared in the palace. beloved ministers, please."

As Gu Jixiao spoke, palace maids appearing from within the palace welcomed Emperor Tianguang and the others inside.

After the capital relocation, Chen Guchuan had searched extensively in the Middle Continent for female Cultivators who wanted to enter the palace as maids.

Because the treatment was good enough, even female Cultivators at the Core Formation or even Spirit Infant Realm wanted to enter the palace as maids.

When the great powers were led into the palace and faced the banquet, their faces were full of shock.

Simply because in their perception, the lowest tools used for cooking were Earth Rank Spirit Treasures, and there was no lack of Heaven Rank Spirit Treasures. As for the meat, it was uniformly the meat of Supreme Yao Beasts.

One could say this meal was extremely luxurious.

After all, Gu Jixiao had previously instructed Chen Guchuan that this meal symbolized the face of their Ancient Heavenly Dynasty and could not be handled casually.

Therefore, Chen Guchuan had gone to such great lengths to arrange such a sumptuous banquet.

"Thank you for your benevolence, Your Majesty!"

The Saint King Great Powers all began to thank Gu Jixiao with deep gratitude.

Eating this meal would likely be enough for them to Breakthrough from Saint King to Supreme, but one must know that the gifts they gave to Gu Jixiao were completely insufficient to allow them to Breakthrough to Supreme.

This showed how much Gu Jixiao valued them.

Gu Jixiao also looked satisfied, nodded at Chen Guchuan to the side, and then tossed him a box.

"Do not open the contents for now. When the day comes that I am to leave the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, open it and take it, then leave with me."

What was in the box was none other than the true immortal pill.

He found Chen Guchuan very handy to use; if he were to leave the Heavenly Saint Continent, he would need someone available by his side, so he would use Chen Guchuan.

Chen Guchuan hurriedly caught the box Gu Jixiao threw, did not open it directly, and knelt down before Gu Jixiao again.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty! This subject will certainly work even more diligently for Your Majesty!"

Looking at Li Xuan on the side, he had a face full of envy.

If only he had accepted this task back then.

But it didn't matter; he would work harder and strive to win His Majesty's favor. Perhaps His Majesty would also bestow such good things upon him.

On the other side, Gu Jixiao's subordinates had already built branches of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty in other worlds outside the Heavenly Saint Continent, three of which had always been in darkness.

Those three worlds were respectively called the Biohazard Realm, the Warhammer Realm, and the Demon Slayer Realm.

The citizens of those three worlds were all ruled by evil forces, and their lives were in dire straits.

They were longing for someone to descend from the heavens and save them.

Just then, Gu Jixiao's True Immortal Peak subordinates forcefully entered the worlds and domineeringly announced that from now on, their worlds would be ruled by the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

The original ruling forces of the worlds naturally would not submit, so they decisively went to war with the True Immortal Peak experts, only to be slapped into flat ground, with not a single one remaining.

The saved citizens of the worlds knelt down one after another toward the True Immortal Peak experts, thanking them while weeping bitterly.

The True Immortal Peak experts, however, were expressionless and spoke in a flat tone.

"Do not thank me. If you must thank someone, thank the Emperor of my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty."

"My Lord, might we know His Majesty's honorable name?"

"His Majesty, Gu Jixiao."

In almost a single day.

Gu Jixiao suddenly felt something and opened the System.

[host: Gu Jixiao.]

[Realm: Peak Great Emperor]

[Spiritual Root: saint grade spiritual root]

[Physique: Purple Heaven Divine Body]

[Imperial Dynasty: Ancient Heavenly Dynasty (Note: Your Imperial Dynasty has successfully ruled four worlds. Please ensure the entire Saint Realm has only one force, and that is the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.)]

[prestige value: 4,532,653,556,251]

... "Hiss, it actually surged by almost four hundred million all at once. Is it because Gu Tian and the others have started to exert themselves?"

Gu Jixiao thought to himself.

But after seeing the note behind the Imperial Dynasty, Gu Jixiao's brow also became slightly solemn.

"Is the world outside the Heavenly Saint Continent the Saint Realm?"

Looking at Emperor Tianguang who had come before him, Gu Jixiao simply stopped overthinking and directly questioned Emperor Tianguang.

"How much do you know about the world outside the Heavenly Saint Continent?"

Emperor Tianguang, who was originally busy eating, was called over by Gu Jixiao. Upon hearing Gu Jixiao's words, Emperor Tianguang's expression also became solemn.

After a long while, Emperor Tianguang sighed and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I do not know much about the world outside the Heavenly Saint Continent either. I only know that the world outside is called the Saint Realm."

"Only by cultivating to the Immortal Realm above the Great Emperor level can one go to the Saint Realm. Other than that, I do not know."

Hearing that Emperor Tianguang did not know much, Gu Jixiao couldn't help but frown again, but he still asked.

"Then, how much do you know about that great power from back then?"

On the Heavenly Saint Continent, only the experts in the Great Emperor Realm had their memories of five hundred years ago preserved. Presumably, that great power didn't want the events of that time to go completely unknown.

Perhaps Emperor Tianguang had information regarding that great power.

Hearing this, Emperor Tianguang showed a thoughtful expression, and after a long while, he finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, I do indeed have some knowledge of that great power, but at that time, I was just a minor Core Formation Realm Cultivator, while that great power was already at the Peak Great Emperor level."

"That great power's name in history was Great Emperor Qianyuan."

"After I broke through to the Spirit Infant Realm, Great Emperor Qianyuan broke through to the Immortal Realm and ascended to the Saint Realm."

"It was only after another twenty thousand years or so, when I had cultivated to the Peak Great Emperor level, that Great Emperor Qianyuan finally returned to the Heavenly Saint Continent."

"It's just that his strength had already reached an incredibly inconceivable level; with a wave of his hand, he resolved the crisis of the Heavenly Saint Continent and even sealed the continent."

"As for anything else, I do not know."

"Had I not been fortunate enough to have seen Great Emperor Qianyuan, and coupled with the fact that his appearance had not changed much, I might not have been able to recognize his identity."

Emperor Tianguang said with a bitter smile.

"Great Emperor Qianyuan? I see."

Gu Jixiao thought for a moment and then let Emperor Tianguang leave.

After Emperor Tianguang left, Gu Jixiao began to analyze the matter.

According to what Emperor Tianguang said, the creatures that invaded the Heavenly Saint Continent back then were entirely shrouded in a strange black mist. Special means were ineffective; only attack methods targeting the Divine Soul could cause damage.

If it hadn't been for Great Emperor Qianyuan's intervention, the Heavenly Saint Continent would likely have been destroyed five hundred years ago.

"It seems this Great Emperor Qianyuan obtained some massive Opportunity within just twenty thousand years, breaking through from the Peak Great Emperor level to the Immortal King Peak in one fell swoop."

"I wonder if he has taken another step forward in these five hundred years, and whether he has already broken through to the Immortal Emperor level above the Immortal King."

Gu Jixiao murmured to himself.

From Gu Anlan's mouth, Gu Jixiao had also learned that the Realm above Immortal King was indeed the Immortal Sovereign Realm.

An Immortal King could easily destroy the entire Heavenly Saint Continent with a wave of a hand, let alone an Immortal Emperor above the Immortal King.

Such an expert would only need the aftershocks of a battle to destroy the Heavenly Saint Continent.

This also made Gu Jixiao feel a heavy sense of pressure; after all, an Immortal Emperor might not be the peak.

If one day two great powers above the Immortal Emperor level were to fight outside his Heavenly Saint Continent, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Looking again at the prestige value of over four trillion, it had now exceeded five trillion.

So, after gritting his teeth, Gu Jixiao finally decided to conduct a lottery draw first.

"System, perform four chaos lottery draws, ten Supreme Draws, and three Diamond Draws for me."

This was Gu Jixiao's first time performing a chaos lottery draw, so he was incredibly expectant.

As Gu Jixiao's thought fell, a huge roulette wheel emerged before him.

The Diamond Draw was performed first; after all, Gu Jixiao still knew the principle of saving the best for last.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining three Peak Great Emperor Experts.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 100,000 units of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining five Emperor Weapons.]

Not great, but definitely not bad either.

Then came the Supreme Draw that Gu Jixiao was relatively expectant of; the last Supreme Draw had produced an Immortal King Peak for him.

Gu Jixiao's requirements weren't high; just maintaining what he obtained from the last draw would suffice.

As the roulette wheel began to spin and then stopped, the System's voice sounded.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining two Immortal King Peak experts.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining two Immortal King Peak experts.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Early Stage Immortal Emperor.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 500,000 years of cultivation.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Immortal King Peak expert.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Immortal Emperor level culinary skills.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining three supreme grade immortal artifacts.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Immortal Emperor level Formation attainments.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Double Pupils.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining ten true immortal pills.]

Listening to the System's broadcast, Gu Jixiao showed a look of satisfaction, even with a hint of excitement.

After all, these were all the things he currently lacked.

The Immortal King Peak experts added up to a full five, and he had even drawn one Early Stage Immortal Emperor.

And with the 500,000 years of cultivation plus the current 200,000 years, the cultivation he could extract totaled a full 700,000 years.

With 700,000 years, surely he could pile himself up from the Peak Great Emperor level to the Immortal King Peak.

If it couldn't be piled up, then Gu Jixiao would really have to worry.

The Immortal Emperor level culinary skills that followed were somewhat useful, but not very.

After all, Gu Jixiao didn't rely on cooking for his livelihood.

Finally, the three supreme grade immortal artifacts were simply of no use at all.

Currently, with the help of the Artifact Forging Pavilion, supreme grade immortal artifacts were just a matter of time for Gu Jixiao, so it could only be said that they were better than nothing.

After all, he didn't know the probability of the Artifact Forging Pavilion producing supreme grade immortal artifacts.

Then there were ten more true immortal pills, which could only be said to be a means of winning people over.

As for the end, Gu Jixiao opened the description of the Double Pupils.

[Double Pupils: An ancient terrifying talent that can see through illusions and predict the movement trajectories of existences not exceeding the holder by one major Realm. Contains an innate Divine Ability, please awaken it on your own.]
