Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Some Rejoice, Some Grieve

"The Reincarnation Sword Dao is truly extraordinary!"

When Aoba stepped into the Ancient Wilderness, Gu Qingyang’s gaze was constantly focused on him, and when he saw Aoba slay three fifth-rank Daoist cultivators with a single sword, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

The power of the Reincarnation Sword Dao was several times stronger than Gu Qingyang had anticipated.

However.

The reason Aoba could kill three fifth-rank Daoists in an instant, apart from the Reincarnation Sword Dao, was also due to the Star God Body.

The main difference between a special constitution and an ordinary cultivator, apart from the speed of cultivation, is the accumulation of foundations.

A simple truth.

If the power accumulated by ordinary cultivators is compared to one, then a genius with a special constitution can master at least twice the power at the same level, if not more.

This inevitably ensures that special constitutions can steadily suppress ordinary cultivators. Truly relying on one’s accumulation to overpower a special constitution is incredibly difficult.

"If one wants to prove the Dao with a mortal body, without great fortune and perseverance, there’s simply no chance of success!"

Gu Qingyang mused.

Then.

Gu Qingyang’s attention shifted away from Aoba.

Since Aoba successfully left the Ancient Wilderness, there probably isn’t any problem.

In the current Golden Era, which has not yet begun, while seventh-rank and above experts are self-sealed, Aoba’s strength is among the top level.

Fifth-rank Perfection!

A flawed Star God Body!

Self-realized Reincarnation Sword Dao!

With these three advantages combined, Aoba’s strength is not much inferior to those of the Divine Body and Saint Body at the same level.

With that in mind.

Gu Qingyang couldn’t help but glance at the changes in the other disciples.

For ten years, Gu Fang and others have been doing well. They originally possessed special constitutions and then joined various powerful forces, lacking nothing in terms of cultivation resources.

Occasionally, when a powerful Secret Realm emerged, they would enter to seize some fortunes.

Due to the reason of first entering the Saint Shenxiao’s copy as a team, Gu Fang and the other five formed a small group, and whenever high-level copies appeared, they mostly entered together.

By now, Gu Fang and the others have all uniformly reached the lower sixth-rank level. In the Immortal Extinction Realm, they can be regarded as True Monarch powerhouses, and in the absence of Saints, a sixth-rank True Monarch is already top-tier.

But what really caught Gu Qingyang’s attention was not the progress of Gu Fang and others in their cultivation, but that Ye Jiu had surprisingly caught up to Gu Fang and the others, also reaching the lower sixth-rank level.

After the initial surprise, there was soon acceptance.

While Ye Jiu couldn’t compare with Gu Fang and the others in talent, in terms of diligent cultivation, he was not lacking at all, even more persistent and determined than other cultivators.

Moreover.

Every time he entered a Secret Realm, Ye Jiu would also gain certain achievements.

"Although in terms of talent, Ye Jiu is a notch below Gu Fang and the others, his great perseverance and firm determination, coupled with significant fortuitous encounters, allow him to keep up with Gu Fang and the others.

As long as Ye Jiu doesn’t fall prematurely, there may be an opportunity for him to compete with those with the Divine Body and Saint Body!"

Gu Qingyang held Ye Jiu in high regard, as being able to chase the Divine Body and Saint Body with a mortal body is rare throughout the Cyan Yang Realm and the Immortal Extinction Realm.

The fundamental reason for proving the Dao and becoming an emperor with a mortal body lies in perseverance, determination, and fortuitous encounters.

Although having these qualities doesn’t guarantee success in proving the Dao, without them, there’s no chance of success at all.

However.

Some are happy, and some are sad.

Over the years, quite a few cultivators have perished due to all sorts of unexpected occurrences. After all, where there’s conflict, there are risks, and no one can intervene.

Among them.

Cultivators practicing the Magic System and the Dao system find it most difficult to thrive in the Immortal Extinction Realm.

Even Ji Xuan, with a Five Elements Spiritual Body, has just barely broken through to the mid-fifth rank over the years, comparing significantly less favorably to Gu Fang and others.

This is an unavoidable issue.

The cultivation system in the Immortal Extinction Realm primarily focuses on Body Refining. Entering here with a different cultivation system, the opportunities one can obtain are undoubtedly extremely limited.

"It seems necessary to find a world where the main systems are the Magic System and the Dao system, otherwise, over time, the Cyan Yang Realm will inevitably lose its balance.

By then, Body Refining will be revered exclusively while the Dao and Magic systems will gradually decline."

Looking at the situation of the other disciples, Gu Qingyang had already formed some plans in his heart.

In the memories of the Divine Eye People, there are numerous civilizations in the Cosmic Starry Sky, including Dao civilizations and Magic civilizations.

The Divine Eye Empire once waged wars against some powerful Dao and Magic civilizations, and there are coordinates of some civilization systems in the memories of the Divine Eye People.

However, these civilization systems are far too distant from the star system where the Cyan Yang Realm is located.

Moreover.

Any civilization known to the Divine Eye People and has survived until now possesses immense power, having all reached the level of ninth-level civilizations.

After all, wars among civilizations in the Cosmic Starry Sky always end with one side’s capitulation or extinction.

The Divine Eye Empire is powerful, and any civilization known to them that lacks strength has typically been subdued or annihilated. Those unaffected are inevitably strong.

Not to mention that with the current strength of the Cyan Yang Realm, confronting such civilizations is impossible. Even if there was a possibility, Gu Qingyang couldn’t open the Two Realms Passage.

This is because the galaxy coordinates in the Cosmic Starry Sky are completely different from the Starry Celestial River accessible by the Heavenly Dao.

If the Two Realms Passage could be opened, the distance of countless light-years would be but a blink of an eye. This is not something ordinary cultivators can achieve.

Even the Divine Eye Empire cannot ignore the distance of light-years, and although they can perform short space jumps or teleportation, there are distance limitations.

But within the Starry Celestial River, when the Heavenly Dao opens the Two Realms Passage, there are no such limitations.

Though Gu Qingyang wishes to find several worlds with different cultivation systems for the development of the Cyan Yang Realm, he dare not rashly open the Two Realms Passage.

As the saying goes, no one knows what kind of existence the other world might be when the Two Realms Passage opens.

If it really plunges into a ninth-level civilization, it would be nothing but sending oneself to death.

Gu Qingyang has never liked gambling or risk. He prefers to proceed steadily, step by step, ensuring nothing goes beyond his control.

As long as he can hold on, there will be infinite opportunities.

Without absolute strength, Gu Qingyang will never open the Two Realms Passage on his own initiative. He’d rather let the Dharma Body explore independently, searching for a suitable world, even if it means wasting quite a bit of time and facing unknown risks.

But the greatest cost of these risks is merely the fall of the Dharma Body, nothing more.

Although the fall of the Dharma Body is regrettable, such a loss will not threaten Gu Qingyang’s foundation, naturally making the risk much smaller.

Then.

Gu Qingyang’s gaze inevitably fell on the Dharma Body, his vision transitioning from the Immortal Extinction Realm to the Cosmic Starry Sky.
