Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 89: 30 Years!

Kunlun Divine Realm.

The Divine Tree towers to the sky.

Under its shade, there is a stone table with a chessboard set up, and two youths in green robes, identical in appearance, are sitting face to face playing a game.

The chessboard’s situation shifts, as if thousands of troops are battling fiercely, with the movements of the pieces bringing endless tempests of blood and gore, truly mystical in nature.

As the last piece falls, the black side collapses entirely, resulting in a major victory for the white side, and one of the youths in green robes suddenly dissipates.

Immediately after.

The remaining youth in green robes waves his hand, causing the chessboard to vanish as well.

"Thirty years have passed!"

Gu Qingyang gazes at the unchanged Kunlun Divine Realm, his expression slightly emotional.

Once upon a time, his sense of time had become increasingly vague.

Thirty years felt like a mere flick of the fingers to Gu Qingyang, leaving no unnecessary impressions.

In the past life, thirty years were sufficient to change many things, and for ordinary people, thirty years was about a third of one’s lifetime.

However.

After merging with the Heavenly Dao Origin, Gu Qingyang transformed into the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, already achieving immortality.

Not to mention thirty years—even three hundred or three thousand years would have no effect on him.

Sitting and watching the changes of mountains and seas, observing the rise and fall of the world.

This.

Is the mindset of the immortal.

Since the last invasion from the Immortal Extinction Realm, the Cyan Yang Realm has enjoyed thirty years of peace, and Gu Qingyang has stayed in the Kunlun Divine Realm for those thirty years.

During these thirty years, he frequently comprehended the world, like the ancient cultivators who intuited the Dao, occasionally transforming into a second version of himself to play chess and relieve boredom.

The last battle with Gu Tiangang, where Gu Qingyang manipulated the power of heaven and earth, with every technique at his fingertips.

At that moment.

Gu Qingyang understood that as the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, there was much he had yet to unearth.

The innate divine techniques displayed on the data panel were merely a fraction of what lay on the surface.

Many mystical transformations were not reflected on the data panel.

The power of the Heavenly Dao originates from multiple dimensions, including the foundations of the world, like the vastness and spiritual qi, as well as from all living beings.

During the ancient times, why was the Heavenly Dao of the Cyan Yang Realm so powerful? It was because there were many powerful cultivators at that time.

These cultivators comprehending and cultivating the world, the power and Dao rhyme they grasped would feed back into the world, thus forming a part of the Heavenly Dao power.

Just as when Gu Qingyang battled Gu Tiangang, where every technique was at his fingertips, it was truly the methods of ancient cultivators of old.

These divine techniques and secret techniques were deeply imprinted in the heavens and earth, hence mastered by the Heavenly Dao.

Yet, when Gu Qingyang initially transformed into the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, the power he could truly wield was not much; the thirty years of accumulation now has brought about a transformation.

This transformation.

Lies not in a transformation of realm, but a transformation of strength.

If.

When stepping into the sixth tier, Gu Qingyang’s true strength was actually slightly weaker than the peak of Gu Tiangang.

The so-called peak period referred to Gu Tiangang being at the perfect sixth tier, rather than being suppressed to the upper sixth tier.

After all, Gu Tiangang possessed the Saint Body of the Ancient Wilderness and had also reached the perfect sixth tier. Though Gu Qingyang was the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, being slightly weaker than Gu Tiangang was quite normal.

But now things are different.

With thirty years of accumulation, Gu Qingyang’s strength has risen another level.

Compared to before, Gu Qingyang now has the confidence to suppress his self from thirty years ago within a hundred moves.

If he were to fight Gu Tiangang in his prime, he would also have a certain confidence in suppressing him.

If entering the Cyan Yang Realm, where Gu Tiangang is suppressed to the upper sixth tier, even without using all the power of the Heavenly Dao Domain, Gu Qingyang can easily defeat him.

Even if Gu Tiangang unleashes the power of the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body, it would still change nothing.

This is the change in Gu Qingyang after thirty years of accumulation.

...

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Heavenly Dao Divine Tree

Lifespan: Immortality

Tier: Sixth lower tier (5569000/200000000)

Divine Kingdom: Fifth tier (9652000100/100000000000)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 7

Innate Divine Techniques: Heavenly Dao Spirit Root (sixth tier), Heavenly Dao Fruit (sixth tier), Eye of Heavenly Dao (sixth tier), Heavenly Dao Domain (sixth tier), Memory Reading (sixth tier)

...

This is the change on Gu Qingyang’s data panel.

Twenty-five years ago.

Noticing the weak spiritual qi in the Kunlun Divine Realm and the entire Cyan Yang Realm, Gu Qingyang decided to condense three small spirit veins with the Heavenly Dao Origin.

After the emergence of these three spirit veins, Gu Qingyang buried them within the Kunlun Divine Realm.

Hence, the concentration of spiritual qi in the entire Kunlun Divine Realm increased significantly.

If initially, the spiritual qi concentration of the Kunlun Divine Realm was only ten, the addition of three small spirit veins increased it to thirty.

The most significant change brought by the spiritual qi concentration is the much-increased evolution value Gu Qingyang receives daily, compared to before.

Previously, with the weak spirit veins in the Kunlun Divine Realm, Gu Qingyang could only gain two hundred evolution points a day, with reliance on the Heavenly Dao Spirit Root.

But as the spiritual qi in the Kunlun Divine Realm increased, his daily evolution values doubled to four hundred points.

In the short term.

Thirty pieces of Heavenly Dao Origin, worth thirty million evolution value, exchanging them for three small spirit veins, seems like a loss-making activity.

But from a long-term perspective, this trade was not a loss at all.

With an additional two hundred evolution points daily, Gu Qingyang would recover the consumed Heavenly Dao Origin within five hundred years.

Theoretically, spirit veins can continuously produce spiritual qi, as the heaven and earth naturally absorb power from the starry sky, then feed it back to the heaven and earth, eventually merging into each spirit vein, allowing the spirit vein to produce spiritual qi to nurture all beings.

Gu Qingyang, already able to achieve immortality, naturally pays no heed to a mere four to five hundred years of time.

Therefore.

Over thirty years, by refining spiritual qi using the Heavenly Dao Spirit Root, Gu Qingyang accumulated nearly four million evolution points.

If he continues at this pace, in just over a thousand years, he will break through to the middle sixth tier, further enhancing his strength.

And with the increase of spiritual qi in the Kunlun Divine Realm, Gu Qingyang has slightly released the spiritual qi to the outside world, causing the spiritual qi in the entire Cyan Yang Realm to rise as well.

In this way.

Everyone’s cultivation difficulty will correspondingly decrease.

Moreover, there is also a change in the Divine Kingdom.

Fifteen years ago, Gu Qingyang collected all the Faith Power needed for advancing the Divine Kingdom to the fifth tier, then officially advanced the Divine Kingdom to the fifth tier, thus opening the fifth-tier shop.

But compared to the emergence of the fourth-tier shop, the opening of the fifth-tier shop did not cause much of a stir in the entire Cyan Yang Realm.

Because fifteen years ago, the strongest person in the Cyan Yang Realm was only a fourth upper tier, and the vast majority were lingering in the third tier, with very few truly entering the fourth tier.

Therefore.

The fifth-tier shop was an existence beyond reach for many people.
