Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"No wonder everyone desires to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm. It's not just because entering such a realm allows one to command longevity without any concerns about lifespan, but also because the power of this realm is beyond what a Great Emperor could imagine."

Gu Xianlin pondered to himself.

If the current self faced the self before the breakthrough, he was absolutely confident that he could suppress the latter with a single thought.

This is the disparity between a Great Emperor and a Longevity Heavenly Venerate with the same foundation.

Of course.

If the current self met the Master of the Forbidden Area again, Gu Xianlin was confident he could twist off the opponent's head.

The dignified longevity took action in an ambush, yet failed to defeat him in one confrontation, showing that the opponent's strength was at the bottom of the Longevity Realm.

In comparison,

even though Gu Xianlin had just reached longevity, he believed his strength wasn't at the bottom level.

So.

If it came down to a life-and-death battle.

Gu Xianlin had enough confidence and assurance to slay the Master of the Forbidden Area.

"I just wonder what the gap between me and my father is now?"

This thought emerged in his mind.

Gu Qingfeng had always been his target to chase, even now, having broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, Gu Xianlin didn't think he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Qingfeng.

But he wanted to know if his breakthrough to the Heavenly Venerate Realm could shorten the gap with Gu Qingfeng.

With this thought,

Gu Xianlin returned to the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land.

At this moment.

Within the Holy Land.

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Gu Xianlin's arrival, this ancient Heavenly Venerate couldn't conceal a smile on his face.

"Good, good, good, in just over two thousand years you've entered the Heavenly Venerate Realm. Your talent and potential are higher than what I anticipated.

From today on, you will be the Saint Heir of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, the only Saint Heir. When you one day reach the level of a Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerable, I will abdicate and let you take charge of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land!"

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate delivered another piece of news, and upon hearing this, Gu Xianlin's expression slightly changed.

"Disciple's skills are shallow; I dare not covet the position of Saint Master!"

"You needn't worry. With your talent, it will take quite some time to reach the Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerable. Before then, you can manage some affairs of the Holy Land on my behalf as the Saint Heir.

Moreover, having broken through to longevity, you should have your own title. Do you plan to use any title, or should I bestow one upon you?"

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate spoke solemnly.

Upon hearing this,

Gu Xianlin pondered for a while before suddenly smiling.

"How about using 'Qingfeng' as my title?"

"Qingfeng... that's not bad!"

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly.

Then.

With a flip of his hand, an Immortal Seal suddenly appeared.

"This Immortal Seal was crafted by refining a fragment of a broken Immortal Domain found in ancient times. It's a Supreme Treasure named the Immortal Suppression Seal, a Second Grade Creation Spiritual Treasure. It's bestowed upon you for protection!"

"Thank you, Master—"

Gu Xianlin looked at the Immortal Suppression Seal before him, feeling deeply moved.

He knew well enough what a Creation Spiritual Treasure was by now.

Such Supreme Treasures,

only the longevity could aspire to possess.

Furthermore,

not every longevity has the privilege to acquire a Creation Spiritual Treasure, much less a Second Grade one.

Now, the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate bestows such a supreme treasure, how could Gu Xianlin not be thrilled?

With the Immortal Suppression Seal in hand, his strength could surely ascend to a new level.

This,

is no exaggeration.

Yet, thinking about this Supreme Treasure, which was crafted by the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate refining a fragment of a broken Immortal Domain, Gu Xianlin only felt more reverence for his master's prowess.

Gu Xianlin was, of course, aware of the size of an Immortal Domain.

It would be incredibly difficult for an ordinary Heavenly Venerate to refine an Immortal Domain, even a broken one, let alone turn it into a Second Grade Creation Spiritual Treasure.

Although the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate spoke nonchalantly, Gu Xianlin understood the difficulty.

Moreover,

having just broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, facing the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate still felt like confronting an unfathomable abyss.

Clearly, the strength of the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate was formidable, far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Clans could rival.

But this was normal.

Had the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate not been powerful enough, he wouldn't have made the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land the absolute overlord of an Immortal Domain.

It's known that,

among the many Immortal Domains under the Ziwei Immortal Court's command, most are tangled with various factions, and rarely can a single force stand dominant like the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land.

This alone shows the strength of the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate.

After Gu Xianlin accepted the Immortal Suppression Seal, the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate spoke, "Now that you've just broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, you should solidify your cultivation first.

Moreover, what plans do you have next?"

"Disciple wishes to head to the front line to avenge the wound suffered earlier!"

Gu Xianlin's words were blunt.

He had previously been severely injured by the Master of the Forbidden Area, and now that he had broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, he naturally wanted to settle the score.

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate neither agreed nor opposed, just advising Gu Xianlin to first go back and consolidate his realm.

And shortly after Gu Xianlin returned to seclusion, news spread, shaking the entire Mountain and Sea Sacred Land.

"Qingfeng Heavenly Venerate has become the Saint Heir!"

"It's been countless years since the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land had a Saint Heir, and now one emerges!"

"Considering Qingfeng Heavenly Venerate's extraordinary talent, it's natural for him to be the Saint Heir. He might just be the next Saint Master—"

Many cultivators in the Holy Land were visibly shocked by this news.

The title of Saint Heir!

It's no joke.

Since the establishment of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, there have only been three Saint Heirs before, and now he becomes the fourth.

The previous three were all candidates for the next Saint Master, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, all Saint Heirs fell one after another.

Since then,

for tens and hundreds of billions of years, the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land hadn't seen a new Saint Heir.

And now.

With Gu Xianlin proving the Dao, he has become the new Saint Heir.

If he had not broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm and suddenly became the Saint Heir, it would cause a lot of controversies. Many True Inheritors and other Longevity Heavenly Venerates would have their criticisms.

But things are different now.

Gu Xianlin broke through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, and after just over two thousand years in the Ascension Immortal Domain, he succeeded. Before that, he endured an attack from the Master of the Forbidden Area and survived. Even though he was later helped by the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate's granted ace to escape successfully, it still showed his formidable strength.

Now, having broken through to become the Saint Heir, other cultivators, despite their dissatisfaction, had no way to refuse.

Talent!

Battle achievements!

Strength!

All laid out clearly.

Throughout the entire Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, among all the geniuses of his generation, no one could compare with Gu Xianlin, making him a natural choice for the Saint Heir.

Moreover.

Even other Longevity Heavenly Venerates were more supportive than against it.

Gu Xianlin's talent and foundation were apparent. If he became the Saint Heir, one day, the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land might produce another supreme powerhouse rivaling the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate.

As the longevity of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, they naturally wished to see the Sacred Land flourishing.

The current situation is delicate; how long the Ziwei Immortal Court could last is unknown. Once the Ziwei Immortal Court falls, there's no way the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land could remain unscathed.

When that time comes, the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land will face the Evil God Clan directly.

Therefore.

Before that.

The Mountain and Sea Sacred Land naturally needs to accumulate enough power.

——

"Your descendant 'Gu Xianlin' titles himself Qingfeng Heavenly Venerate!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Xianlin' received the Second Grade Creation Spiritual Treasure 'Immortal Suppression Seal'!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Xianlin' became the Saint Heir of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land..."

...

"Qingfeng Heavenly Venerate... this rebellious son!"

Upon seeing the words on the information panel, Gu Qingfeng's face immediately darkened.

He never expected that Gu Xianlin would take on the title Qingfeng Heavenly Venerate. Despite Gu Qingfeng's temperament, he couldn't help but feel speechless.

Not to mention anything else, just on account of this title, he would surely give this dear son a memorable experience the next time they meet.
