Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"I didn't know Emperor Gu was visiting, I must apologize for not welcoming you from afar!"

In the grand hall of the Taixu Sacred Land, Taoist Monarch Taixuan was all smiles, showing no seniority, addressing Gu Yang as if he were facing a fellow cultivator.

This was quite normal.

Not to mention that Gu Yang is now an Enlightened Sage, which, on some level, puts him on the same level as Taoist Monarch Taixuan.

Just the identity of the other party as the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty is enough to make Taoist Monarch Taixuan take him seriously.

If the two were to combine forces,

even Taoist Monarch Taixuan would have to regard him with some apprehension.

As for Yan Lingyun, the Saint Master, he sat quietly to the side, seemingly transparent, with no intention of speaking.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Though Yan Lingyun is the Saint Master of the Taixu Sacred Land, it doesn't change the fact that he's only in the Taoist Palace Realm, even if his power reaches the Semi-Saint level, he still hasn't truly become an Enlightened Sage.

In terms of strength,

he simply wasn't on the same level as the two.

In terms of status,

his mere identity as Saint Master was completely insignificant in front of either Taoist Monarch Taixuan or Gu Yang.

However—

Yan Lingyun was somewhat puzzled.

Gu Yang's visit at this time gave him an uneasy feeling.

Thinking about this,

Yan Lingyun scrutinized the ruler of the Divine Martial Dynasty silently.

From the brows of the other party, he could tell that this person had many similarities with Gu Xuan.

However,

this person is now the exalted ruler of a Divine Dynasty and has become a Saint during the End of Dharma Era, setting a precedent.

Moreover, with the Divine Martial Dynasty's expansive conquests over the years, even Yan Lingyun felt immense pressure facing him.

At this moment,

Taoist Monarch Taixuan got straight to the point.

"I wonder what brings Emperor Gu to our Taixu Sacred Land today?"

"I come to the Taixu Sacred Land with only one purpose, which is to ask what Taoist Monarch Taixuan and Saint Master Yan think about the current situation in the Archaic World?"

"Thoughts..."

Taoist Monarch Taixuan frowned slightly.

"Emperor Gu, please speak directly!"

Seeing this,

Gu Yang composed himself, then changed the topic.

"During the Ancient Times, there was a Divine Dynasty named Taiyi, the hegemon of the Archaic World. Later, the Taiyi Divine Dynasty vanished overnight, some said the entire dynasty ascended, others said it was annihilated by a mysterious power.

I wonder how much Taoist Monarch Taixuan knows about this?"

"Taiyi Divine Dynasty... What Emperor Gu said, I have heard of. The Taiyi Divine Dynasty once dominated the entire Archaic World, even the Great Emperor had to bow.

With the strength of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, none could have destroyed it. If ascending the entire dynasty sounds outrageous, it might not be entirely impossible.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Times were too long ago from now, many things have been buried in the dust of time, what I truly know is very limited!"

Upon hearing the mention of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, Taoist Monarch Taixuan shook his head slightly, aware that his understanding of that ancient hegemonic force was limited.

But in his view,

the possibility of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty ascending was more credible than being annihilated.

After all, given the Taiyi Divine Dynasty's strength, it was hard to imagine what could have destroyed it.

Gu Yang said, "Regarding the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, I do have some understanding. In the ancient era, the Taiyi Divine Dynasty dominated the Archaic World as the ruler of the Human Clan.

The Divine Lord could not endure solitude and sought to ascend the entire dynasty, but unfortunately, after opening the Immortal Gate, what greeted the Taiyi Divine Dynasty was not the guiding Immortal Light, but endless Evil Spirits.

These Evil Spirits came from the Upper Realm, inciting a great battle with the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

In the end, the Taiyi Divine Dynasty exerted all its strength to seal these Evil Spirits, but its own foundation was also exhausted, and it completely perished in the river of time."

"This—is the origin of the Ancient Great Tribulation!"

"It's just that with the Ancient Great Tribulation, the chaos of the Evil Spirits, many things perished in the river of time along with the demise of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, hence the rumors that the dynasty vanished overnight, or ascended entirely."

The words spoken by Gu Yang changed the complexions of both Taoist Monarch Taixuan and Yan Lingyun.

Clearly,

these matters were secrets to them.

After a pause,

Gu Yang continued, "Countless ages have passed, and now the Evil Spirits once sealed by the Taiyi Divine Dynasty are gradually emerging, besides, demons from beyond the universe are invading.

For now, the Human Clan can still resist.

But this is merely because the Evil Spirits have not yet fully emerged. Once all the sealed Evil Spirits come forth, it will undoubtedly mark the End of Humanity!"

"After all, the current Archaic World is nothing like the Ancient Times. Even the mighty Taiyi Divine Dynasty fell in the calamity of the Evil Spirits. Do you think the current Archaic World can compare to the Taiyi Divine Dynasty of old?"

Hearing this,

Taoist Monarch Taixuan fell silent.

After a while,

he shook his head.

"If things are as Emperor Gu says, the current Archaic World certainly cannot compare to the Taiyi Divine Dynasty!"

During the Ancient Times, the Taiyi Divine Dynasty suppressed the entire Archaic World, even aweing the Chaos as a hegemonic force, which was no simple feat.

The current Archaic World has endured several great calamities and entered the End of Dharma, making its strength arguably the weakest it has ever been, naturally incomparable to the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

Upon realizing this,

Taoist Monarch Taixuan looked at Gu Yang, vaguely understanding the latter's intention but still chose to ask.

"Emperor Gu, why don't you state your purpose directly, instead of beating around the bush?"

"My purpose is simple, the current Archaic World is in disarray, once the Great Calamity arrives, it will undoubtedly be the end of the Human Clan. To resist the Great Calamity, we must unify the forces of the entire Archaic World."
