Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 168: Zuo Ling’s Silence

"This is the foundation of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land!"

Upon fully understanding the information about the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, Zuo Ling’s expression was solemn.

The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, once a Quasi-Emperor-level power, later declined to a Saint-level power. At the same time, the sanctuary possesses a saint-level supreme treasure, Abyssal Slaying, suspected to be a seventh-tier high-grade.

It is highly likely that there is a slumbering saint within the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, waiting for the Golden Era to commence.

Additionally, there is other information about some elders.

It must be said.

The intelligence provided on the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land was not just detailed but extremely detailed, almost uncovering all the old secrets of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

Zuo Ling even suspected whether the person providing the information could be from the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, wanting to leak their secrets.

But upon thinking about it, it seemed unlikely.

After all, if they were truly from the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, they probably wouldn’t sell their intelligence for a mere thirty thousand contribution points.

Unless.

The intelligence itself given about the Sacred Land was false.

Upon realizing this, Zuo Ling simultaneously purchased intelligence from several others, among whom one directly took the payment and fled, making him so angry his face turned green.

If it had been during a time when contributions were scarce, Zuo Ling would have gone to great lengths to catch the person and make them understand not everyone can be deceived.

But now, with billions in contributions at hand, Zuo Ling didn’t pay much attention to a few tens of thousands of contributions, only noting the incident for future settlement.

Nevertheless...

Given that the username was obviously not real, the chances of truly finding him were extremely slim.

Fortunately.

The others didn’t run off after taking the money but genuinely provided the corresponding information.

Although not as detailed as the first person’s, when patched together, it wasn’t much different.

"With a seventh-tier high-grade supreme treasure stationed at the Sacred Land, and a high probability of a seventh-tier saint from the previous era slumbering there, it seems dealing with the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land won’t be that easy..."

Zuo Ling fell into contemplation.

The foundation of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land was much stronger than he had imagined, especially the slumbering saint, which made him apprehensive.

After all, a slumbering saint is still a saint, and once awakened, even with a quasi-emperor’s supreme treasure for protection, Zuo Ling felt he might not be a match.

However.

Just how powerful a saint truly is, Zuo Ling was temporarily unclear.

Thinking of this.

He couldn’t help but enter a simulated battle, directly selecting the seventh-tier option, barely glancing at the seventh-tier lower-grade starry sky beast and locking his target on the seventh-tier upper-grade Saint Shenxiao.

Then.

There was nothing further.

It was only after exiting the simulated battle that Zuo Ling realized he had been instantly killed.

Silence.

A silence like death.

Zuo Ling directly swallowed an elixir, continuing to heal his dantian injuries, postponing the matter with the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land for now.

The instant killing by the Saint Shenxiao was an extraordinary blow to him.

Even though the slumbering saint of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land might not be a seventh-tier upper-grade powerhouse, who can say for sure?

If by any chance the slumbering saint truly is a seventh-tier upper-grade, wouldn’t he just be going to his own demise?

Even taking a step back.

Even if the saint is just an ordinary saint, his strength is beyond what he can contend with.

Not to mention.

The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land also has a seventh-tier high-grade supreme treasure.

Such a supreme treasure, if wielded by a saint, is bound to exert its full might.

Therefore.

Before breaking through to a seventh-tier saint level, Zuo Ling had no intention of taking action against the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

While Zuo Ling was in seclusion, Gu Fang, Lin Ling, and others also saw the two eighth-tier high-grade secret techniques in the Divine Kingdom’s shop, and sighed softly.

Clearly. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

These two eighth-tier high-grade secret techniques undoubtedly came from the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm of Jing Shen Palace.

Just as the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm opened, and the secret realm inheritance was obtained by mysterious powerhouses, the Divine Kingdom’s shop then had two eighth-tier high-grade secret techniques.

Moreover, one of the secret techniques was named Shocking God Dao Scripture, and only a fool wouldn’t realize that it must be connected to Jing Shen Palace.

All along.

Gu Fang and others thought whether the Quasi-Emperor Inheritance was obtained by a major force, now it seems it was obtained by the people of the Divine Kingdom’s chat group.

...

With the emergence of the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm and the Golden Era drawing nearer, the entire Immortal Extinction Realm was in upheaval, with constant competition among talented powerhouses.

Many veteran powerhouses fell, while many young powerhouses rose, gradually spreading their fame far and wide.

As the Golden Era of the Immortal Extinction Realm was about to commence, Gu Qingyang remained in his usual state of seclusion.

It’s been three years since obtaining the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique.

During these three years.

Gu Qingyang has constantly been in seclusion within the Kunlun Divine Realm, comprehending the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique.

At intervals, he would enter simulated battles to test his achievements.

From initially withstanding half a day against the Saint Shenxiao, then to an entire day, to eventually holding his own, Gu Qingyang’s progress in strength has been nothing short of rapid.

After another simulation ended, the branches and leaves of the Azure Celestial Divine Tree trembled, and Gu Qingyang’s divine thought returned.

"Three years of arduous cultivation, and the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique has finally reached a level of Mastery. Next is to advance further, reaching the pinnacle level!"

Pinnacle!

If one can cultivate a secret technique to this level, it can be said to have been perfected, fully showcasing its power.

If it were an ordinary secret technique, Gu Qingyang would have reached the pinnacle level long ago in three years.

But the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique is different.

As an eighth-tier high-grade secret technique, it is destined to be extraordinary.

Even amidst constant battles, it took Gu Qingyang three years to barely cultivate it to a level of Mastery.

Now.

With the Mastery level Divinity Transformation Sword Technique, Gu Qingyang can barely slay Saint Shenxiao, marking a significant transformation in his strength compared to three years ago.

After all, going from not being a match for Saint Shenxiao to slaying Saint Shenxiao, such a change is truly remarkable.

Yet in Gu Qingyang’s view, barely slaying Saint Shenxiao isn’t enough; he aims for instant killing.

Only instant killing.

Can greatly mitigate potential threats.

However, slaying a seventh-tier upper-grade saint isn’t easy; instant killing one is even more challenging.

To this, Gu Qingyang set himself a small goal.

"Before the Golden Era begins, strive to cultivate the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique to the pinnacle level, achieving the capability to instantly kill Saint Shenxiao!"

As both seventh-tier upper-grades, Saint Shenxiao is a Nine-Turn Saint, already at the top of this realm. If he can instantly kill Saint Shenxiao, even with the commencement of the Golden Era, there won’t be many in the Immortal Extinction Realm who can threaten him.

With that thought.

Gu Qingyang continued to work on comprehending the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique.

Two months later, sensing progress in the Divinity Transformation Sword Technique, Gu Qingyang immediately entered a simulation battle to test the results of his cultivation.
