412: The sword points at Gu Mo, and the storm rises again!

Looking up, Gu Liangyuan stood suspended in the air.

With a flick of his hand, a small tower suddenly appeared above Gu Liangyuan’s head.

"Go!"

Gu Liangyuan let out a soft cry, and the small tower spun around, heading straight for the Peak of Ping Mountain.

The small tower grew larger with each rotation; initially, it was only palm-sized, but by the time it reached the top of Ping Mountain, it was already a hundred zhang tall.

It settled steadily on the Peak of Ping Mountain.

This nine-story tower was enveloped in purple Qi.

Aside from its ornate appearance, it looked no different from other treasure towers.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the crowd, Gu Liangyuan rose into the air:

"Everyone, please come with me inside the tower for a look."

Everyone followed closely behind, and under Gu Liangyuan’s lead, they entered the Void Tower.

Upon entering the tower, everyone was amazed to discover that the tower contained its own self-contained space.

Moreover, this space was boundless, giving one the feeling of being comparable in size to the Five Continents.

A Sect Master, who was skilled in the Law of time, suddenly sensed something and tentatively spoke:

"This is... a different flow of time?"

Gu Liangyuan smiled faintly:

"Precisely. This tower has nine floors. On the first floor, one day outside is ten days inside the tower."

"On the top floor, one day outside is one year inside the tower!"

"This is why I asked you to send your most talented Disciples."

"Before, we didn't know the truth, and countless Seniors died tragically in the Immortal Realm, which led to us being suppressed by the Immortal Court."

"Otherwise, with the help of these Seniors, our Kong Sang Realm would have risen long ago."

"Therefore, what we lack most is time, time to grow."

"With this Void Tower, our biggest weakness is gone."

"Three years outside means one thousand two hundred years inside the tower."

"With these one thousand two hundred years, who knows how many Immortals will be born."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes glowed with fervor.

With this Divine Artifact in hand, why worry about the world not prospering?

However, some people remained rational. One of them asked:

"I've heard some news about the Immortal Court. As far as I know, their elite soldiers are all composed of Human Immortals, not to mention their marshals and the like."

"At the Peak of Wind Tribulation, if one does not Undergo Tribulation to become a Human Immortal, they cannot achieve Immortal Ascension."

"If they Undergo Tribulation to become a Human Immortal, they will be forcibly squeezed into the Immortal Realm by the will of Heavenly Dao. This situation is unsolvable."

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly:

"The Void Tower forms its own world and is not governed by Heavenly Dao. Inside the tower, there is no Lightning Tribulation, and one can cultivate continuously."

"However, once one leaves the Void Tower, Heavenly Dao will sense it, and Lightning Tribulation will descend."

"At that time, if thirty thousand Human Immortals Undergo Tribulation simultaneously, no one would dare to stop them. They can Ascend together and fight their way to the Immortal Court!"

Everyone imagined the scene Gu Liangyuan described. Although they felt it might be difficult to achieve, their hearts couldn't help but stir with excitement.

Thirty thousand Human Immortals Undergoing Tribulation simultaneously—what a shocking scene that would be!

Gu Liangyuan watched the loyalty values of the crowd continuously rise, knowing that he had made the right move.

Just then, Gu Liangyuan suddenly sensed Mo Emperor’s thoughts coming from the parasite:

"These Holy Land Masters have all gone to the Tai Shang Sect. No need to guess, it must be Gu Liangyuan’s idea."

"From what I know of Gu Liangyuan, he must have used both threats and inducements to bring these Holy Lands together."

"No, I absolutely cannot allow this to happen."

"Although these Holy Lands were powerful in the past, they lacked a backbone, each with their own schemes and fighting independently, so they couldn't achieve much."

"But if the Holy Lands and major sects of the Four Continents unite, the combat power they can unleash will far exceed Ancient Mo."

"No, I cannot sit back and do nothing."

"He wants to form an Alliance, but I won't let him have his way!"

"If I can't enter the Eastern Continent, can't I still attack the Southern Region and the West Desert?"

Acting on his thoughts, Mo Emperor immediately gave orders, dispatching two great generals to exert pressure on the Southern Region and the West Desert, forcing the Holy Land members to withdraw from the Alliance.

Gu Liangyuan had a complete grasp of Mo Emperor's psychological changes and sneered inwardly:

I didn't act against you before because I was wary of the Immortal Court's people. Did you really think I was afraid of you?

It seems I didn't hurt you enough last time.

Pulling his thoughts back, Gu Liangyuan said to the crowd:

"Our Alliance poses a threat to the Three Great Dynasties. They will not sit idly by."

"The first to act will definitely be Ancient Mo."

"Mo Emperor already harbors resentment towards me, and Ancient Mo is already surrounded by the Eastern, Western, and Southern Continents. Once an Alliance is formed, he will suffer the most."

"So, he will be the first to make a move."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gu Liangyuan continued: "But you don't need to worry. With just the power of the Eastern Continent, I can fight Ancient Mo to a standstill. Now that our Four Continents are united, Ancient Mo can be extinguished with a flick of the hand!"

Everyone bowed in unison:

"Please instruct us, Alliance Leader!"

Gu Liangyuan immediately arranged: "After you return, only defend, do not attack."

"I will start from the Eastern Continent and fight my way to Ancient Mo, drawing their forces."

"At that time, you can then drive deep into their rear."

Everyone nodded in agreement, without any objections.

The Alliance Leader was willing to be a target to attract enemy forces, so what objections could they have?

After exchanging a few more flattering words, everyone returned to prepare.

After everyone left, Gu Liangyuan looked at Lü Qingmei, who had a worried expression:

"Light Eyebrow, when you go back, select a thousand Body Cultivators and gather all the Disciples and Elders of Xuan Du Peak near Bei Dou Pass."

"Also, regarding the participants, this time we should prioritize quality over quantity."

"Gather all those above Mahayana in the Dao Alliance within three days and assemble them near East Dipper Pass. Great Abyss has also cultivated many Mahayana cultivators recently through the Mahayana Pill; transfer them over as well."

"However, one thing: do not mobilize those who were previously prepared to enter the Void Tower."

Lü Qingmei nodded in understanding. These individuals were designated by Gu Liangyuan as future reserves.

These people might currently be at Soul Transformation or Void Refining, but in one or two years outside, they might emerge as Loose Immortals.

They should not be easily mobilized unless necessary.

Yang Qiong, however, had a question:

"Why do you need those Strongmen and the people from Xuan Du Peak?"

Gu Liangyuan embraced Yang Qiong:

"Let me test you. If we capture a piece of Ancient Mo's territory, doesn't that mean the Eastern Continent has expanded its territory?"

Yang Qiong lay in Gu Liangyuan’s arms, looking up at Gu Liangyuan:

"I understand. You're so mischievous!"

"Before, Mo Emperor swore a Great Heavenly Dao Oath not to step into the Eastern Continent."

"You'll capture a piece of territory, then order the Strongmen to push the boundary markers forward, and the people from Xuan Du Peak will take the opportunity to expand the Six Harmonies Grand Formation."

"This way, the Eastern Continent's territory will grow larger and larger."

"And Mo Emperor, due to the Great Heavenly Dao Oath, can only watch helplessly, only taking hits and daring not to retaliate."

Slap!

Gu Liangyuan lightly patted Yang Qiong's perky buttocks:

"You guessed right, but no prize, unfortunately."

Yang Qiong had long been accustomed to Gu Liangyuan's little gestures. She merely rolled her eyes at Gu Liangyuan, then genuinely sighed:

"Mo Emperor's biggest mistake in this life was making an enemy of you."

"If I were Mo Emperor, I'd be fuming to death."

Gu Liangyuan smiled without speaking, then waved to Lü Qingmei. Lü Qingmei, understanding the hint, came to Gu Liangyuan's side, and with Yang Qiong, they nestled against Gu Liangyuan, one on each side.

Their gazes were all fixed on the Void Tower, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing for the future...
