407: The storm is coming!

Di Tian was already cautious enough, but unfortunately, his opponent was not only more cautious than him but also cheated!

Gu Liangyuan didn't know everything Di Tian had done. At this moment, he had already arrived at Yaochi Sacred Ground.

After a period of intimacy with Yang Qiong, he learned about the construction of the West Heaven Gate from Yaochi.

In each of the four realms containing fragments of the West Heaven Gate, there was a Loose Immortal from the Immortal Realm suppressing it.

It was just that these Loose Immortals obviously didn't bother with worldly affairs and were in seclusion year-round.

Unless there was a great calamity of heaven and earth, it would be difficult to disturb them.

Currently, the Yaochi Six Elders had secretly taken control of the high-ranking officials in these four realms.

With just a command from Gu Liangyuan, Jiang Chen would be able to force the Loose Immortals of each realm out of their respective realms and initiate a rebellion.

Three fragments of the West Heaven Gate had already been obtained, and the last one would be brought in within the next few days.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Liangyuan immediately decided to stay at Yaochi for a few days and wait quietly.

Gu Liangyuan wasn't idle during these few days. He gathered everyone from Yaochi, individually guided them, and then selected more than a dozen Disciples with extraordinary Aptitude, imparting the Xihua Scripture to them.

Looking at these excellent Disciples, Gu Liangyuan felt an increasing sense of urgency regarding time.

The talents of these Disciples were no less than those of the Yao Sisters.

Unfortunately, the war came too quickly, leaving them no time to grow.

Only by obtaining the Void Tower could he have the capital to contend with the Immortal Realm!

Void Tower...

Gu Liangyuan's desire for the Void Tower increased once again.

Days passed, one after another.

On this day, Yang Qiong reported that all the West Heaven Gate fragments had been collected.

Gu Liangyuan was overjoyed and instantly arrived at the Jade Pool Forbidden Area.

At this moment, within the Forbidden Ground, the Yaochi Six Elders, leading Jiang Chen and a group of Elders, stood neatly in front of the West Heaven Gate.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan arrive, they all bowed and said,

"Greetings, Cult Master."

After Gu Liangyuan nodded in response, he cast a probing spell towards the West Heaven Gate.

After confirming that the West Heaven Gate had been fully restored, Gu Liangyuan took out two Jade Slips and handed them to Yang Qiong:

"Within these two Jade Slips, one is a map of the eighteen hundred realms in the west."

"Although it's a bit crude, the general directions are all there. As future explorations continue, it can be slowly refined."

"Within the other Jade Slip is a list."

"The people on this list are those within the Dao Alliance who can be completely trusted and utilized."

"Give a copy of this list to Light Eyebrow, and let her select people from it to assist you all. It is imperative to occupy as many other worlds as possible."

Yang Qiong nodded and accepted them.

With the arrangements complete, Gu Liangyuan stepped towards the West Heaven Gate.

Everyone bowed again:

"Farewell, Cult Master."

Gu Liangyuan stepped into the West Heaven Gate, only feeling a blur before his eyes. When he reappeared, he was already in the Lei Ze Realm.

Before Gu Liangyuan could even investigate this realm, the System's notification sound suddenly rang out:

"Ding, Host bestowed a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, triggering a three hundredfold return. Return reward: Medium Grade Spirit Treasure Wind-Piercing Boat."

"Ding, Host bestowed..."

Gu Liangyuan knew that Wan Wan had found Zai Xiyue and given her the Spirit Treasure he had bestowed.

Therefore, Gu Liangyuan ignored these System messages and prepared to release his Divine Sense to search for Di Tian.

"Ding, Host bestowed Peng Zhi's corpse, triggering a ten thousandfold return. Return reward: Zombie Hou Qing."

This System notification made Gu Liangyuan's movements pause slightly.

Jiang Chen, Han Ba, Hou Qing.

Three corpses exchanged for three Zombie Ancestors!

Imagining the potential great war between heaven and man that might erupt in the future, Gu Liangyuan's lips curved slightly.

The growth of zombies was different from ordinary Cultivators; they only needed to absorb blood.

The blood of Immortals was an excellent tonic.

They could even form a zombie army because of it.

The physical body as a zombie, the Divine Soul as a halberd general.

Hmm.

Not wasted at all.

After listening to the System notifications and seeing that there were no other special rewards, Gu Liangyuan collected his thoughts and released his Divine Sense.

Although Gu Liangyuan had not yet entered the Wind Calamity Realm, with the blessing of his nine Primordial Spirits, his Divine Sense strength was considerably stronger than that of a typical Human Immortal.

His Divine Sense spread out, vast and boundless for tens of thousands of miles, enveloping almost half of the Lei Ze Realm!

As he investigated, almost no one whose Divine Sense strength was lower than Gu Liangyuan's could perceive that they were being probed.

As for those whose Divine Sense strength was higher than Gu Liangyuan's, he did not encounter any.

After a simple investigation, Gu Liangyuan roughly understood the information about this world.

This realm was called Lei Ze, and it had been called that since ancient times.

Legend had it that it was named because an ancient Thunder God resided in the great marsh of this realm.

This realm was different from the other worlds Gu Liangyuan knew; there was no Holy Land here, no concept of great calamities.

They seemed to be isolated from the outside world, completely unaware of its situation.

In their memory, they had lived in this realm since ancient times.

And they had no intention of exploring the outside, simply living in this realm all along.

Although the Cultivators here also practiced the Golden Core Dao, there was still a Legacy of martial arts.

Moreover, the way of life in this realm was still the most ancient tribal method.

There were no Dynasties or Sects, only tens of thousands of large and small tribes.

What puzzled Gu Liangyuan the most was that the Cultivators here had exceptionally high Aptitude, many possessed Thunder Spiritual Roots, and the Spiritual Qi was abundant, especially Thunder Spiritual Qi.

Yet, there wasn't even a single Cultivator in the Fire Calamity Realm.

The highest cultivation was that old man who barely entered Undergoing Tribulation.

There must be a problem.

However, Gu Liangyuan knew that now was not the time to consider these things.

His figure flickered, eighteen thousand miles away.

His Divine Sense extended again, and Gu Liangyuan suddenly smiled.

Found him!

Gu Liangyuan had been staying in Yaochi these past few days and was unaware of the situation outside.

While Gu Liangyuan was searching for Di Tian here, the Five Continents Continent had fallen into panic and turmoil.

Many people witnessed the scene of the three Loose Immortals attacking the Eastern Continent.

Many also knew the words Gu Liangyuan had spoken to the Eastern Continent Cultivators.

Although what Gu Liangyuan said was true, he also concealed one point: the people of the Immortal Court only killed people from Holy Lands.

Under his deliberate concealment, Cultivators believed that anyone not from the Three Great Dynasties would be killed.

During this time, people from the Three Great Dynasties also appeared to explain, but by then, the image of the Three Great Dynasties had already collapsed. Compared to the Three Great Dynasties, they were more willing to believe Gu Liangyuan.

Consequently, various families and factions split into two forces.

One force consisted of the major powers, most of whom supported Gu Liangyuan.

On one hand, it was due to long-standing feuds, and on the other hand, they clearly understood that if they were the Immortal Emperor, they would also not tolerate this group of people.

They had no choice but to resist.

The other force was the self-preservation faction. Anyway, they were not Disciples of Holy Lands or major Sects. For them, where they cultivated didn't matter.

So, these people immediately announced their joining the nearest Dynasty.

The Three Great Dynasties naturally welcomed them without refusal.

On the other side, Lü Qingmei also sent invitations to various Holy Lands, inviting them to the Supreme Sacred Ground for discussion.

Lü Qingmei originally thought she would have to expend some effort, but none of these Holy Lands, upon receiving the invitations, refused to give Face. They immediately rushed towards the Supreme Sacred Ground.

For a time, the world was in turmoil!

All Cultivators had a premonition in their hearts that an earth-shattering battle was probably not far off!
