321: Unification of Dongzhou

After everyone left, Gu Liangyuan waved his Shan He Fan and sent Lin Furen out.

At this moment, Lin Furen was in much better condition than before.

She gave Gu Liangyuan a charming side-eye.

“People always say there are only exhausted oxen, never worn-out fields.”

“Today, I know that statement is false!”

With that, she let out a long breath and fled from Forget-Love Hall as if escaping, fearing Gu Liangyuan would keep her again.

Watching Lin Furen’s retreating figure, Gu Liangyuan’s lips curved slightly.

Just as he was about to make a move, he felt the Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist tremble.

He patted the Spirit Beast Pouch, and Little Gold’s figure appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, Little Gold’s cultivation had reached the Void Refining Realm.

His combat power might be mediocre, but in terms of speed, he was no less than a Mahayana.

What pleased Gu Liangyuan even more was that while Little Gold awakened the Law of Space, he also awakened a Heavenly Divine Ability.

Name: Dust with Light

Rank: Innate Divine Ability

Effect: Can transform oneself into a streak of light for a short period, moving at the speed of light.

Gu Liangyuan was satisfied, feeling that all the effort and essence blood he spent cultivating Little Gold were not in vain.

In a great mood, Gu Liangyuan waved his hand:

“I’ll give you a few days off. Go play in the Eastern Continent for half a month.”

Little Gold, who was about to swallow a pill, heard this and showed a human-like excitement in his eyes.

But then he remembered the terrifying scene he witnessed last time in the Slaughter Domain.

No, the outside world is too dangerous.

My current speed is too slow. I can’t go out, absolutely can’t go out.

Little Gold shook his head repeatedly and rubbed against Gu Liangyuan’s pant leg.

Then he opened his mouth and waited.

Hmm?

Gu Liangyuan hadn’t expected the lingering fear from last time to be so strong, scaring Little Gold into not daring to go out.

Gu Liangyuan comforted him in a gentle tone:

“It’s alright, most of the time it’s very safe outside.”

Little Gold shook his head repeatedly.

Gu Liangyuan, helpless, took out some Kirin Blood and fed Little Gold a few more drops.

Little Gold swallowed the precious blood, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Drowsiness swept over him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Liangyuan passively put Little Gold back into his Spirit Beast Pouch.

Inside Limitless Hall.

Lü Qingmei conveyed Gu Liangyuan’s words to the Due messenger. The messenger only said that the matter was too significant for him to decide and required reporting to the Holy Land elders.

So, he hurried back to Due.

During this process, Lü Qingmei was not idle. Strictly adhering to Gu Liangyuan’s intimidation tactics, she continuously reinforced troops at the Due border.

She also constantly released news, such as Loose Immortals being dispatched and that no living thing would be spared, to pressure Due.

Inside the Ancestral Master’s ancestral hall (Ancestral Master’s Ancestral Hall) of Due Holy Land.

The Old Ancestors fell silent after hearing the news brought by the messenger.

Everyone knew that without this trump card, Due’s future direction would entirely depend on whether Gu Liangyuan would keep his promise.

No one wanted to give it away, but at the same time, they knew they had no choice.

Giving it away might allow them to survive, but not giving it away, and then exhausting their trump cards against Gu Liangyuan, would still lead to certain death.

After all, Gu Liangyuan held two Holy Lands, Supreme Jade Pool, and the trump cards he could command would certainly be more than those of a single Holy Land like theirs.

It was a helpless move, a choice made without a choice. Ultimately, Due agreed to the demands made by Gu Liangyuan.

Due joins the Dao Alliance, and Great Abyss withdraws its troops!

Thus, the Eastern Continent was unified, and the Dao Alliance became the sole dominant power.

An era belonging to the Dao Alliance, belonging to the Great Abyss, and belonging to Gu Liangyuan began!

With the submission of Due Holy Land, the other smaller forces that had been observing, no matter how foolish, now knew what to do and joined the Dao Alliance one after another.

At this moment, they regretted it. If they had known they would join the Dao Alliance, joining earlier would have meant no alliance fees and more generous treatment.

To think they had mocked the Six Harmonies Sect Master; looking back now, it was truly a slap in the face.

As these forces joined, Gu Liangyuan felt his Physical Body cultivation progressing non-stop.

Every few days, his Physical Body would Breakthrough a small Rank.

However, once his Physical Body also reached the Mahayana Realm, this feeling slowed down.

Although the Eastern Continent was unified, Gu Liangyuan did not relax. Instead, he ordered all Disciples of Xuan Du Peak to be dispatched, with various Dao Alliance forces assisting, to fully set up the Six Harmonies Grand Formation, preparing for the Great Abyss to establish a Luck Dynasty.

Gu Liangyuan also knew that although the Eastern Continent seemed unified, in reality, there was still much infighting within the Dao Alliance.

Across the Eastern Continent, there were still many hidden dangers.

For example, the remnants of the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance that hadn't been completely cleared, the vanished Di Tian, and the unstable factors in the Cultivation World—Loose Cultivators, and so on.

But these could all be slowly addressed later.

The most urgent task was to establish the Six Harmonies Grand Formation.

By then, no matter what happened internally in the Eastern Continent, outsiders would no longer be able to easily invade.

On another note, there were the rewards for the Great Abyss becoming a Dynasty.

Eight hundred Mahayana Pills could create eight hundred Mahayana Cultivators out of thin air!

Of course, these Mahayana Pills were not without side effects.

Firstly, to withstand the medicinal effects of the Mahayana Pill, one had to at least have Void Refining cultivation.

Secondly, after consuming the Mahayana Pill, one’s cultivation would be stagnant for life.

But for some people, Void Refining was their limit, so this side effect was nothing to them.

Moreover, as the cultivation of his subordinates increased, Gu Liangyuan would also receive these returns.

With a one percent strength return from eight hundred Mahayana Cultivators, Gu Liangyuan felt that even if the Qi he needed for his own upgrades was more than that of ordinary Cultivators, upgrading three to five Ranks should not be a problem.

Additionally, there were also ten Laws rewarded by the System and the cultivation return from Qianqiu’s advancement.

Once the Luck Dynasty was established, Qianqiu, as the Empress, would receive an influx of Luck, and her cultivation would definitely skyrocket.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but there were always people who didn’t want Gu Liangyuan to have an easy time.

Immortal Realm, Eastern Emperor Palace, Imperial Garden.

A thousand auspicious rays, ten thousand streaks of purple Qi.

Within the garden, pavilions and towers were all present.

There were Immortal Plants that remained evergreen for thousands of years and rare flowers that never withered for tens of thousands of years.

An immortal spring continuously gushed forth water, which flowed to form a small stream, encircling the entire Imperial Garden.

Spirit birds circled the branches, and immortal butterflies flew everywhere.

Spirit Stones paved the base, and immortal jade lined the paths, displaying endless grandeur and beauty.

If Oriental Heng were to see this scene, he would surely recite several poems to express himself.

Two elegantly dressed women walked one after another on the small path.

One wore red, exuding grace and nobility.

The other wore purple, appearing quite alluring.

Behind the two, several palace maids followed.

They did not follow too closely, nor too loosely.

While giving their masters enough space, they could also keep up in time.

The red-clad woman in front slowly spoke:

“Consort Mei, the Eastern and Western Immortal Courts are so far apart. I don’t believe you came to find me just to talk.”

The one called Consort Mei did not reply but looked left and right.

The red-clad woman immediately understood and waved her hand. The palace maids behind her, quite discerning, retreated.

Gu Liangyuan was not present. If he were, he would immediately recognize that the person referred to as Consort Mei was none other than the true form of Liu Ruyan!
