Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 167: Fight to the Death

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

In the void, Gu Qingyang was fiercely battling with Saint Shenxiao. The eighth-grade supreme Divinity Transformation Sword Technique was incredibly powerful, far surpassing all the Secret Techniques he had previously mastered.

Endless Sword Qi swept across, pushing Gu Qingyang’s power to the extreme.

Saint Shenxiao, on the other hand, was as formidable as thunder, displaying the might of a Saint with every punch and kick.

After half a day.

As the Sword Qi dissipated, Gu Qingyang was instantly struck down by a single punch from Saint Shenxiao.

...

"Still lost!"

In the Kunlun Divine Realm, Gu Qingyang sighed to himself, but he was not discouraged.

In the past, he couldn’t hold out for long before being slain in his battles with Saint Shenxiao.

Now, with the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique, he managed to hold his ground for half a day before losing, showing how much stronger he had become.

Unfortunately, although he realized the profound mysteries of the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique, he hadn’t actually cultivated it to a high level; otherwise, he felt he might not have lost.

"Next, I will devote myself to mastering the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique. Even if I can’t defeat Saint Shenxiao, I must at least avoid defeat!"

Gu Qingyang thought to himself.

Then.

He once again entered a simulation battle.

However, before entering the battle, Gu Qingyang also conveniently opened an eighth-grade shop and put the Shocking God Dao Scripture and the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique on it.

While Gu Qingyang was in retreat, the arrival of the eighth-grade shop quickly caught the attention of many followers.

Especially upon seeing two eighth-grade supreme Secret Techniques, the entire Divine Kingdom chat group was in an uproar.

...

"Holy crap, am I seeing it right? The Divine Kingdom shop has reached the eighth grade?"

"It really is an eighth-grade shop, two eighth-grade supreme Secret Techniques. Which big shot offered these?"

"Same question, same question, who received the eighth-grade heritage, and isn’t this a direct rise to prominence..."

"Amazing, can anyone explain how much Contribution you get for offering up eighth-grade supreme Secret Techniques? I feel like I can’t figure it out?"

"Offering a Secret Technique seems to be the same price as exchanging. The exchange price for these two eighth-grade Secrets is five trillion Contribution each. The one who offered them must have gained at least ten trillion Contribution. This is truly a rise."

"Ten trillion Contribution..."

...

The Divine Kingdom chat group was in a frenzy. When someone mentioned ten trillion Contribution, it drove all the followers wild.

Ten trillion Contribution!

What kind of concept is that?

Even to stack oneself from nothing to the sixth-stage perfection, you wouldn’t use even a trillion Contribution.

This is still taking shortcuts, purely stacking with Elixirs.

If, however, you practice normally and then use elixirs as an aid, you wouldn’t even need half of that Contribution.

Thus,

What kind of concept is ten trillion Contribution?

Not only was the chat group in Cyan Yang Realm in an uproar, but even the one in the Immortal Extinction Realm was in chaos.

Everyone was speculating about who offered up two eighth-grade supreme Secret Techniques. The individual must have obtained some powerful heritage.

It can be said,

Ten trillion Contribution, enough to make everyone’s eyes red with envy.

In a certain remote mountain forest, Zuo Ling, self-treating his injuries, glanced at the information in the Divine Kingdom chat group, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Many are envious of ten trillion Contribution, but how could he expose himself willingly?

Conceal your wealth.

Contribution points are the same.

Once Contribution points can be traded, there can never be absolute trust among followers.

If it were before encountering Gu Tiangang, Zuo Ling considered himself top-tier in strength, with no one able to threaten him, then exposure wouldn’t be a problem.

But once he fought with Gu Tiangang, Zuo Ling truly learned what it means for there to be a sky beyond the sky, and a person beyond a person.

Even now, though he has reached sixth-stage perfection and has a Quasi-Emperor Supreme Treasure as protection, he may still not act without fear.

After all,

Zuo Ling still can’t truly control the power of the Quasi-Emperor Supreme Treasure, only able to borrow a sliver.

After scanning the Divine Kingdom chat group info, Zuo Ling ignored it.

The priority,

Is to heal his own injuries.

A shattered Dantian is no trifling matter, fortunate that the Divine Kingdom shop sells anything, provided you have enough Contribution.

Obtaining elixirs for Dantian repair isn’t too difficult a task. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land... Gu Tiangang, this matter between us isn’t over, once I recover, I will definitely make you pay!"

Zuo Ling’s eyes flashed with a chilling intent, his enmity with the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land has become a life-or-death feud.

Though Gu Tiangang is mighty, the final counterattack has severely injured him.

Now that Zuo Ling has a vast amount of Contribution to support him, he’ll recover in no time, he believes Gu Tiangang absolutely cannot do this.

In such a situation, the threat from Gu Tiangang becomes much less.

The only concern is the foundation of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

It’s a pity though.

Zuo Ling lacks any understanding of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land’s history or background.

Reflecting on this, he couldn’t help but post a message in the Divine Kingdom chat group.

"Anyone with information on the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, hit me up with a quote!"

Shortly after the message was sent, someone knocked on his chat window.

Zuo Ling opened the window, and the message came into view.

"I have specific intel on the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, pay ten thousand Contribution first!"

"Hey brother, intel on the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land is a hundred thousand Contribution!"

"I am a disciple of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, only a thousand Contribution needed, pay me three hundred upfront, the rest of the seven hundred later..."

Overwhelmed by the plethora of messages, Zuo Ling’s face darkened.

Clearly, many are trying to take advantage of the situation.

Especially those insisting on upfront Contribution, it’s complete nonsense.

The Divine Kingdom chat group is chaotic, finding accurate information requires one to rely on personal experience to discern truth.

Soon.

Zuo Ling found someone, although the person was asking three thousand Contribution, he seemed sincere.

To ensure safety, Zuo Ling asked the other party to reveal their rank first.

This is a new feature of the Divine Kingdom chat group.

Previously, the ranks and names were not hidden, but after an update, users could choose whether to disclose them or not, or even use nicknames.

Which in turn, greatly ensures privacy among chatting cultivators.

Soon,

The person revealed their rank, upon seeing the other party was a fifth-stage cultivator, Zuo Ling felt reassured.

After all, fifth-stage cultivators have their reputation on the line, rarely deceiving others for tens of thousands in Contribution, but if the amount rose to hundreds of millions or billions, then it’s uncertain.

Then the transaction took place, Zuo Ling first transferred three thousand Contribution, then received detailed intel from the other party.
