Chapter 159: Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm

Ever since the Divine Kingdom introduced a new function, most of Ye Jiu’s contributions have been invested in simulation combat.

Especially after the recent update that allows you to autonomously select simulation targets, Ye Jiu has grown even more fond of this feature.

Whenever there’s an assassination mission, he would first locate the target, then capture the opponent’s aura and recreate it in the simulation combat.

This kind of targeted simulation combat not only sharpens Ye Jiu’s assassination skills, but also gives him a significant advantage over his targets.

This is why Ye Jiu has quickly risen to the higher ranks of the Netherworld Sect.

Especially in the past month, Ye Jiu has assassinated several sixth-tier True Monarch experts, causing the name Twenty-Ninth Heaven to become renowned.

Soon.

News from Gu Fang arrived.

"Gu Fang: Ye, do you also know who’s coming to assassinate me?"

"Ye Jiu: I’m not sure, but the Netherworld Pavilion has accepted the job. I and two other Celestial Tier assassins will be acting next, but the exact time hasn’t been set yet."

"Gu Fang: Good, thank you Ye, do inform me if there are any updates!"

The chat ended with Gu Fang sending a million contributions as payment for this information.

With the gradual updates of the Divine Kingdom’s chat group, contribution transactions are no longer limited to Contribution Orders and can now be completed with a single transfer within the group’s interface.

A million contributions is a considerable amount for others.

But for Gu Fang, trading a million contributions for intelligence relating to his life is undoubtedly worth it.

...

Feng Family.

Gu Fang exited the Divine Kingdom chat group interface and knit his brows slightly: "The fact that I possess the Overlord Divine Body is a secret even within the Feng Family, known to very few.

Now that someone in the Netherworld Sect has placed a bounty on my life, it seems the Feng Family isn’t as stable as I thought!"

But the internal affairs of the Feng Family are not something Gu Fang can meddle in right now.

After all, in a Great Emperor’s family, the relationships are complex with factions everywhere, and it’s normal for some to dislike him.

What concerns Gu Fang now is how to resolve this issue.

After all, there’s no such thing as prevention for a thousand days against thieves.

Now that someone in the Netherworld Sect has placed a bounty on him, Gu Fang is not thinking about hiding in the Feng Family but about how to eliminate the assassins, and preferably uncover the person behind it all.

"We’ll wait and see!"

"According to Ye Jiu, the other two Celestial Tier assassins are around the sixth-tier mid-grade in strength, not too formidable.

As long as I make a breakthrough to sixth-tier mid-grade, many problems will become non-issues!"

Gu Fang’s heart gradually calmed.

There’s no need to think about so many things now, focus on breaking through in cultivation. With the Feng Family’s resources, his progress has been swift, and he has reached the peak of sixth-tier low-grade, needing just an opportunity to move into the sixth-tier mid-grade.

The Longevity Shackles are gradually dissolving, and the signs of the coming Golden Era are beginning to manifest, primarily making cultivation much easier than before.

...

Spring passes, autumn arrives.

Cold and heat alternate.

As heavy snow covered half of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, it signified the end of another year.

This year, the cultivation enthusiasm in the Cyan Yang Realm has surged, especially with the emergence of simulation combat, allowing many to engage in intense training.

This isn’t much different from real battlefield combat.

Both sides maintain real power levels, only differing in that death in simulation combat isn’t real, making it appealing to many.

In true combat, a single mistake leads to death, but in simulation combat, there’s no need to worry about that.

Even if errors occur initially, they can be rectified with repeated attempts.

In summary,

This year, while breakthrough speed in cultivation levels in Cyan Yang Realm isn’t fast, combat experience has increased dramatically.

Kunlun Divine Realm.

Gu Qingyang, over this past year, has also constantly trained in simulation combat, initially taking a while to slay a starry sky beast, but later killing it within a single breath.

Nowadays,

Gu Qingyang can instantaneously slay starry sky beasts.

Although there was no breakthrough in cultivation realm, Gu Qingyang’s real combat ability has undergone significant transformation.

Like a battle-hardened warrior, every action is a fatal move; strength is naturally incomparable to ordinary warriors.

"It’s a pity that the gap between me and Saint Shenxiao is too vast. To truly contend with such a force, I need to at least reach sixth-tier high-grade or perfect!"

Gu Qingyang only has two seventh-tier simulation targets.

He can easily slay a seventh-tier low-grade starry sky beast, but isn’t a match for the seventh-tier high-grade Saint Shenxiao.

Under absolute power, any technique appears useless, and a year later, Gu Qingyang still faces overwhelming defeat.

After several attempts,

Gu Qingyang gave up the idea of continuing to fight Saint Shenxiao.

The gap is too wide to warrant a battle.

Moreover,

What truly halted Gu Qingyang’s simulation combat was news of another Ancient Secret Realm emerging in the Immortal Extinction Realm, not from a Saint, but from a Quasi-Emperor.

Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm!

The release of this news caused all factions to burst into excitement.

Even in the Two Realms Divine Kingdom chat group, discussions now revolve around the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm.

A Quasi-Emperor!

The strongest below the level of a Great Emperor.

Throughout history, in all Golden Eras, only a few have reached the status of Great Emperors, with others halting at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Such existences, while not as revered as Great Emperors, stand unmatched in the absence of Great Emperors.

Obtaining a Quasi-Emperor’s inheritance could amplify any faction’s power, giving them a shot at the Great Emperor throne.

Even Great Emperor-level influences covet the emergence of a Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm.

In conclusion,

An inheritance from such a formidable being is enough to excite all factions.

Of course, the emergence of a Great Emperor inheritance would drive the entire Immortal Extinction Realm into madness.

"First the emergence of a Saint’s Secret Realm, now a Quasi-Emperor’s, it seems all are preparing for the coming Golden Era.

Anyone obtaining a secret realm’s inheritance stands a chance to become strong before the Golden Era arrives."

Gu Qingyang cast his gaze upon the Immortal Extinction Realm, and although the Golden Era hasn’t arrived, he seems to foresee the grand future unfolding with various prodigies competing.
