Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 163: Quasi-Emperor Bloodline

At that moment.

Gu Qingyang drew a trace of Qi from his opponent, then evolved it in the simulation within the Divine Kingdom.

Zuo Shen Peak (Eighth-stage Middle Grade)

"Eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor!"

Upon seeing the information about the strong being evolved, Gu Qingyang’s face turned grave.

Eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor.

This was the strongest individual he had ever encountered so far.

This was the first time Gu Qingyang had heard of the name Zuo Shen Peak, but since he appeared in the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm of Jing Shen Palace, it’s very likely he was the last Quasi-Emperor of Jing Shen Palace.

At that moment.

The eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor emerged, and even the power that casually radiated from him instilled Gu Qingyang with a profound sense of terror.

In the next instant.

Gu Qingyang saw the opponent imprint a finger, and the terrifying power struck, causing his own body to collapse instantly.

Simulation ends!

Within the Kunlun Divine Realm, recalling the battle in the simulation just now, Gu Qingyang inwardly sighed.

"So this is the power of an eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor!"

Instant defeat!

An unsurprising instant defeat!

This was also the first time Gu Qingyang had seen a cultivator capable of defeating him in an instant.

Compared to the seventh-stage Saints, the eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor’s power had reached an entirely different level, one that those below the eighth stage could not hope to match.

In the face of such a strong presence, even the Saint Shenxiao would likely meet an instant defeat.

After all, when facing Saint Shenxiao, Gu Qingyang could barely hold out for a while, but against the Quasi-Emperor level of Zuo Shen Peak, he was instantly defeated.

There was no room to fight back.

The two were completely on different levels.

In front of Zuo Shen Peak, Gu Qingyang felt like an ant.

Even though Gu Qingyang had mentally prepared himself for the power of an eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor, it was only upon witnessing such power firsthand that he realized they were even more terrifying than he had imagined.

More importantly.

If the eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor was already this powerful, then how terrifying must a ninth-stage Great Emperor be?

"Such strength is not something I can contend with right now, unless he steps into the Heavenly Dao Domain of the Cyan Yang Realm, where I might handle it with the pressure of the domain.

But outside the Cyan Yang Realm, facing such strength, the only option would be to retreat as far as possible."

Gu Qingyang’s shaken spirit gradually calmed.

It’s true the eighth-stage Quasi-Emperor is incredibly powerful, but it’s not yet time for such a strong being to emerge, and as long as the Cyan Yang Realm remains low-key, a Quasi-Emperor is unlikely to pay attention to such a small Cyan Yang Realm.

As long as he has time, Gu Qingyang is confident he can break through to the eighth stage, and perhaps even step into the ninth stage.

Thinking of this.

Gu Qingyang turned his gaze back to the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm.

Sure enough, the disciple who encountered the Quasi-Emperor’s Divine Thought directly received the inheritance of Zuo Shen Peak. From their conversation, Gu Qingyang understood that the disciple had the bloodline of Jing Shen Palace, which allowed them to obtain this inheritance.

"Thirty thousand years ago, during the Golden Era, I offended the prodigy of the Great Sun Sacred Land, leading to the destruction of the entire Jing Shen Palace. Since you bear the bloodline of Jing Shen Palace and have received my inheritance, you must accept this cause and effect.

Even though the prodigy of the Great Sun Sacred Land achieved the Dao thirty thousand years ago, they have long since perished. Now that the Golden Era is reopening, you must bear the responsibility of rebuilding Jing Shen Palace, and the blood debt owed by the Great Sun Sacred Land of the past must be repaid one by one!"

Zuo Shen Peak’s face was stern, his voice filled with cold killing intent.

The cultivation world is inherently a place where the strong devour the weak. With Jing Shen Palace destroyed in the struggle for the Great Dao, there’s nothing more to say.

This time, with the Secret Realm opening, Zuo Shen Peak intended to find someone to inherit his legacy and that of Jing Shen Palace, ensuring the continuation of the lineage.

But now that he sees Jing Shen Palace’s bloodline has been passed down in the world, he naturally prioritizes selecting the heir.

"I will certainly revive Jing Shen Palace, and if given the chance, I will annihilate the Great Sun Sacred Land to avenge the bloody feud of the past!"

The young man below said in a solemn voice.

At his words.

Zuo Shen Peak nodded in satisfaction and continued: "In the Ancient Times, Jing Shen Palace was once a Great Emperor force, but with the death of the Great Emperor, Jing Shen Palace gradually declined.

Yet, in every era, Jing Shen Palace has birthed a Quasi-Emperor. Since you carry the bloodline of Jing Shen Palace, chances are you may inherit the bloodline of some former powerful figure.

It’s a pity, though, that with the passage of time since the fall of Jing Shen Palace, your bloodline has also become obscured. Today, I will use my last remaining strength to unlock your bloodline seal!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As the words fell.

A blinding divine light burst from Zuo Shen Peak’s body, descending directly onto the young man below, and in an instant, a powerful aura rose from him, as if undergoing some intense transformation.

After a long while, this transformation gradually subsided.

"This is... the initial stage of Daoist!"

Zuo Ling clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, a barely containable delight on his face.

His original aptitude was ordinary, and for many years, he remained stuck at the Refining Organ stage, until later when he joined the Divine Kingdom chat group, which somewhat alleviated his predicament.

However, Contribution was rare, and over the years, Zuo Ling gathered Contribution by various means, merely managing to reach the Mid-Dragon Transformation stage, which was the fourth-stage middle grade, as per the Divine Kingdom chat group.

This time, entering the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm, Zuo Ling was merely trying his luck, hoping to obtain some treasures to exchange for breakthrough resources in the Divine Kingdom store.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally stumbled into the place of inheritance and received the Quasi-Emperor’s gift, ascending to the fifth-stage Daoist level in one go.

Such a leap was naturally a cause for Zuo Ling’s joy.

"Not bad, the purity of your bloodline is extremely high, likely from some ancient Quasi-Emperor of the ancient times.

Now that the bloodline seal has been unlocked by me, in the future, your cultivation will be aided by the power of your bloodline. Although it won’t result in overnight success, it will far exceed the ordinary cultivator’s progress.

It’s a pity you couldn’t inherit the Great Emperor Bloodline, for if you could, even contests against a Divine Body would be no trouble."

Zuo Shen Peak’s words bore some regret, but then quickly shifted.

"That being said, throughout history, not all Great Emperors bore the Great Emperor Bloodline or a Divine Body before achieving the Dao; there have always been exceptional talents who rose against the odds and achieved the status of a Great Emperor.

Now that you possess the Quasi-Emperor bloodline, you are already far ahead of mere mortals, and in this Golden Era, you have the qualification to achieve the Dao!"

Zuo Shen Peak was indeed quite satisfied with Zuo Ling’s bloodline.

Although he didn’t have the Great Emperor Bloodline, possessing a highly pure Quasi-Emperor bloodline, along with Zuo Shen Peak’s heritage, meant that, even if he couldn’t achieve the Dao of a Great Emperor, the likelihood of reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm was extremely high.

This would mean that revitalizing Jing Shen Palace wouldn’t be an issue.

Subsequently.

Zuo Shen Peak handed over his own inheritance and some remains of Jing Shen Palace to Zuo Ling.

After completing these tasks, the Quasi-Emperor’s Divine Thought, which had existed in the Secret Realm for thirty thousand years, finally began to dissipate, completely vanishing.
