Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 94: Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, Bestowing the Name Aoba

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, Bestowing the Name Aoba

In the Kunlun Divine Realm, the grass is verdant, and the youth stands with a calm demeanor, resembling a being in harmony with heaven and earth, with mystical Dao Rhyme faintly appearing.

"Five years ago, spiritual intelligence began to form; three years ago, it achieved great success; a year ago, it ventured into cultivation, and now it can directly step into the second tier.

You have observed my cultivation and comprehended profound Daoist skills, displaying both exceptional talent and comprehension. If you do not fall, you are destined for remarkable achievement in the future!"

Gu Qingyang slowly spoke, giving a very fair assessment.

To go from never having engaged in cultivation to breaking through to the second tier within a year is indeed an astonishing speed of cultivation.

Although when the Divine Kingdom chat group appeared, some people also managed to step into the second tier in less than a year.

However, when compared, the two are completely different.

Some could break through to the second tier in under a year because of the techniques bestowed by the Divine Kingdom chat group, but the little grass before us relied entirely on its own comprehension for cultivation without systematic methods, which is entirely different.

The little grass swayed slightly, and a faint voice emerged from it.

"I... my God!"

"I, Gu Qingyang, the Divine Emperor of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, observed your breakthrough to the second tier. The grass blades were like sharp swords drawn from their sheaths, with Sword Qi emerging naturally.

Therefore, I bestow you with a technique as the foundation of your cultivation; how far you go in the future will depend on your own opportunities!"

As Gu Qingyang’s words fell, divine light appeared between his brows, and a technique named Cyan Lotus Sword Dao manifested directly within the little grass’s Divine Soul.

All living beings possess a Divine Soul.

However, some with insufficient cultivation cannot harness the power of the Divine Soul.

But the little grass can step into the second tier, meaning its Divine Soul power is at least initially developed, so accepting the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao poses no issue.

This Sword Dao technique is not an ordinary secret art but a top-tier secret in the fifth-tier store.

Normally speaking.

Gu Qingyang would not rashly transmit such a technique.

But the little grass before him possesses extraordinary talent; he has a premonition that today in transmitting Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, the other party will surely bring him a surprise in the future.

Therefore.

Gu Qingyang is generous with his instruction, transmitting the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao.

As for why not transmit a cultivation technique, it’s because the other party has already comprehended a cultivation method that aligns with itself; further transmission is unnecessary.

Receiving the memory of the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, the little grass trembled violently, as if digesting something.

After a long time.

The faint voice became clearer.

"Thank you, Divine Emperor!"

"Hmm!"

Gu Qingyang nodded.

"From today on, your name shall be Aoba!"

"Thank you, Divine Emperor, for the name!"

As the voice of the little grass faded, Gu Qingyang observed that its Faith Threads had strengthened, prompting him to glance with the Eye of True Sight.

...

Name: Aoba

Essence: Mortal Grass

Tier: Second Tier, Low Grade

Constitution: None

Faith: Saint Apprentice

...

A teachable child!

Gu Qingyang, seeing the other party’s Saint Apprentice faith, nodded with satisfaction.

Saint Apprentice means the other party is absolutely devoted, with no possibility of betrayal, making his transmission of the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao worthwhile.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingyang’s figure dissipated, resuming his cultivation state.

The entire Kunlun Divine Realm seemed to fall into silence in an instant, as if nothing had happened, with only the little grass there imitating Gu Qingyang, inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

With careful observation, it’s possible to notice that when inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, a hint of Sword Qi seems to emerge.

...

"Boom!"

In the deep sea, someone battles with a Fierce Beast.

Several fourth-tier Fierce Beasts unleashed terrifying waves, causing the seawater to surge into immense waves; however, that person’s fist was astonishing, with mighty power capable of shattering mountains, leaving the Fierce Beasts bruised and howling in anger when struck.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

The visitor’s momentum was soaring, shattering ten thousand layers of ocean waves with punch after punch, killing one of the fourth-tier Fierce Beasts and then pouncing on another.

In less than a moment, several fourth-tier Fierce Beasts were reduced to just one.

Suddenly.

The person’s blood surged like a volcanic eruption, their whole skin turning instantly red, seemingly transformed into a physical oven, with blood reflecting the great sun.

Bang—

An earth-shattering sound erupted; the opponent’s punch annihilated a fourth-tier Fierce Beast, reducing it to nothing in the deep sea.

"Huff... finally broke through!"

As the boiling blood gradually calmed, Gu Fang showed a faint smile.

Fifteen years ago, he broke through to the fourth-tier high grade; then, he took two years to settle, spending the remaining thirteen years seeking the path to fourth-tier perfection.

Unfortunately, with weak Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, every breakthrough step after the fourth tier was exceedingly difficult.

After years of secluded cultivation without a breakthrough, Gu Fang resolutely tapped into his Overlord Divine Body’s potential, entering the deep sea to slay Fierce Beasts, using life-and-death battles for experience to facilitate a breakthrough.

Gu Fang couldn’t recall how many Fierce Beasts he had slain in the deep sea, but wherever there was a fourth-tier Fierce Beast, he would be present.

Today, the entire deep sea’s fourth-tier Fierce Beasts have almost been exterminated by him.

Thus.

Gu Fang finally broke the shackles of the fourth-tier high grade, reaching fourth-tier perfection.

...

Name: Gu Fang

Essence: Human

Tier: Fourth Tier, Perfection 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Constitution: Overlord Divine Body

Contribution: 1,368,500

...

"One million three hundred thousand contributions, it’s temporarily pointless to think about exchanging for fifth-tier cultivation techniques!"

Gu Fang glanced at his attributes panel, shaking his head internally.

The price needed for a fifth-tier technique is a hundred times that of a fourth-tier one.

Even the lowest fifth-tier low-grade technique requires a billion contributions.

Moreover.

With the current weak Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Gu Fang believes that reaching fourth-tier perfection is probably his limit; even if he acquired a fifth-tier cultivation technique, the actual probability of breaking through to the fifth tier would be low.

Currently, to break through the fifth tier, there are only two options.

The first is to obtain a fifth-tier Realm-Breaking Pill, and the second is to go to a place with more abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for cultivation.

Therefore.

The soon-to-open Divine Kingdom Grand Competition has become Gu Fang’s primary target.

"With the foundation of my Overlord Divine Body, along with my current fourth-tier perfection state, competing for the first place on the fourth-tier Divine List shouldn’t be a problem.

A year ago, a sudden announcement from the Divine Kingdom chat group occurred, perhaps indicating some action in the Immortal Extinction Realm, or maybe the Cyan Yang Divine Court is about to make a big move.

But regardless, this can be considered an opportunity for me!"

Between the two, Gu Fang sees the latter as most likely.

There is no breaking without establishing.

Breaking and then establishing.

The Cyan Yang Divine Court has reached this state, already the current limit of the Cyan Yang Realm, with the entire Divine Court’s development hitting a bottleneck.

To advance further, they must break the existing barriers and open up a broader world.

In considering his position, if Gu Fang were Gu Qingyang, he too would seize the opportunity for further progress as the Divine Court reaches its peak.
