60: Peak Quasi-Emperor, Obtained an Emperor-level Weapon

As Gu Jixiao finished speaking, the giant roulette wheel appeared before him again.

The compass spun for a moment and quickly stopped.

[Ding, congratulations host for obtaining ten subordinates at the Peak Supreme Realm.]

[Ding, congratulations host for obtaining one hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid.]

[Ding, congratulations host for obtaining one Emperor Weapon.]

[Ding, congratulations host for obtaining one Legacy of a Great Emperor Level Array Master.]

[Ding, congratulations host for obtaining thirty thousand years of Cultivation.]

The continuous sound from the System made Gu Jixiao extremely delighted.

The thing he most hoped for had appeared.

Ten subordinates at the Peak Supreme Realm were enough to deal with the few Supremes outside without the Great Emperor needing to make a move.

As for the one hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid, it was somewhat underwhelming.

After all, he had already taken over Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and could obtain at least one hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid annually.

The Emperor Weapon, however, was somewhat helpful to him.

According to Gu Jixiao's understanding, Emperor Weapons were extremely rare throughout the entire Heavenly Saint Continent.

An Emperor Weapon was a weapon specifically forged for a Great Emperor, meaning that even if someone who was not a Great Emperor received the enhancement of an Emperor Weapon, their strength would greatly increase when the Great Emperor's full power was unleashed.

In other words, a Peak Supreme, provided they had the enhancement of an Emperor Weapon, would possess the strength to contend with a Quasi-Emperor.

Of course, if they faced a Great Emperor, it would still be a dead end; even a Peak Quasi-Emperor wielding an Emperor Weapon could not last long against a Great Emperor.

As for the Legacy of a Great Emperor Level Array Master that followed, it was also quite useful to Gu Jixiao.

In short, it could be put to use.

But what excited Gu Jixiao the most was the thirty thousand years of Cultivation.

However, his brow furrowed slightly, and he asked.

"System, shouldn't it be one hundred thousand years of Cultivation?"

[Ding, the prize pool is not fixed.]

"Is that so?"

Gu Jixiao was inevitably disappointed but did not say much more.

As the thirty thousand years of Cultivation entered his body, Gu Jixiao's Realm surged upward at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Late Stage Great Saint, Peak, Saint King, Supreme, Quasi-Emperor.

He stepped into the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm almost without any obstruction.

But as he reached the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm, the thirty thousand years of Cultivation were completely consumed.

Feeling that he was only one step away from soaring to the heavens yet being forcibly interrupted—that feeling was like being about to ejaculate only to be stopped; who could tolerate that?

"System, you better explain to me. I'm not asking to break through to above Great Emperor with thirty thousand years of Cultivation, but tell me, thirty thousand years isn't even enough to become a Great Emperor? I have an Immortal-Grade Spiritual Root!"

Gu Jixiao finally could not tolerate it anymore and asked angrily.

[Ding, Cultivation only accounts for the primary environment for the host's advancement and does not include situations where Heaven And Earth Treasure is used.]

Hearing this, Gu Jixiao fell silent.

The key was that he couldn't argue about it.

After all, which Great Emperor on the Heavenly Saint Continent achieved their status through sheer hard work? Basically, all of them relied on countless Opportunities and the blessing of Heaven And Earth Treasure to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

"Should I draw again? If I draw Cultivation, I could directly become a Great Emperor?"

Gu Jixiao thought secretly.

However, after some thought, he decided against drawing another prize.

The Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm Cultivation was sufficient for his current needs, and since there was nothing he urgently required right now, Gu Jixiao did not proceed with another draw.

Soon after, the Legacy of a Great Emperor Level Array Master flooded into Gu Jixiao's mind.

When Gu Jixiao opened his eyes again, he had become a Great Emperor Level Array Master.

With a thought, several Low-Grade Spirit Stones appeared in his hand. Following a series of carvings, he tossed out the Low-Grade Spirit Stones, instantly forming a Spirit Gathering Array.

The moment the Spirit Gathering Array formed, it immediately triggered a massive Spiritual Qi tide in the Imperial Capital. The Spiritual Qi seemed to take tangible form and surged toward the Spirit Gathering Array.

Countless experts in the Imperial Capital suddenly opened their eyes, gazing toward the depths of the palace, their hearts filled with shock.

"Such terrifying Qi! Could it be that Your Majesty has broken through again?"

"Hiss, this kind of Qi, even a Great Saint cannot emit it. Could it be that Your Majesty has broken through to Saint King?"

The six Domain Lords under Luofeng Supreme also looked shocked, turning their gazes toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.

"Everyone, with such a commotion, could something unexpected have happened?"

Fanren Supreme looked grave, taking an involuntary step back, ready to flee at any moment.

However, Changqing Supreme, who had deep knowledge of Formations among the six Domain Lords, frowned slightly. "This Qi seems like a Spirit Gathering Array? And it's a very high-grade Spirit Gathering Array, seemingly reaching the scope of Ninth Grade."

On the Heavenly Saint Continent, Formations were divided into First Grade to Twelfth Grade; the higher the grade, the more powerful the effect.

Only Great Formations of Tenth Grade or higher could potentially harm powerful beings like them.

Therefore, upon hearing that it was only a Ninth Grade Spirit Gathering Array, the other five Supremes breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the disturbance subsided, and a hint of disdain flashed across Changqing Supreme's face.

"It even failed. I initially thought this Ancient Heavenly Dynasty possessed a Ninth Grade Formation Master, but it seems they haven't broken through to Ninth Grade yet."

But he did not know that this Ninth Grade Spirit Gathering Array was formed by Gu Jixiao using only ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

At this moment, looking at the shattered Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Gu Jixiao's brow furrowed tightly.

"It seems I need to go to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to stock up on some Top-Grade Formation Stones."

Formation Masters generally require Formation Stones to set up Formations; only Formation Stones can bear the power of a Formation.

There are some Formation Masters with extremely deep attainments who can use ordinary objects to set up Formations, but they cannot last long.

It was already quite impressive that Gu Jixiao could sustain a Ninth Grade Spirit Gathering Array for so long using ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

After assessing the strength of the Great Emperor Level Array Master, Gu Jixiao looked towards the System Space, where a card lay quietly.

[Emperor Weapon: The host may choose the style of the Emperor Weapon themselves.]

"Choose myself? In that case, I choose a Long Spear."

Without thinking for too long, Gu Jixiao quickly decided on the weapon he wanted to use.

A Long Spear.

The spear is the king of all weapons, and an inch longer means an inch stronger; although for existences at this level, length is not a major factor.

The main reason was that he had always harbored a dream of wielding a Long Spear; he wanted to conquer every beauty under the heavens with his spear!

Soon, the Long Spear appeared in Gu Jixiao's hand.

A golden Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiled around the surface of the Long Spear, looking incredibly domineering. As he gripped it, he felt a heavy sensation.

[Emperor Weapon Long Spear: Possessing it will greatly enhance your strength.]

The System's introduction was very brief, so Gu Jixiao did not overthink it.

However, he was still somewhat curious: with an Emperor Weapon in hand, combined with his Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm, did he possess the strength to fight a Great Emperor?
