Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"It's close!"

"Given some more time for consolidation and accumulation, the Divine Martial Dynasty should be able to ascend to become the Divine Martial Empire!"

Gu Yang looked at the Three Grade Green Lotus, which had become much more solid than when the Divine Martial Dynasty was first established. It naturally had become much stronger.

The dynasty's Qi Fortune, the Three Grade Green Lotus.

Such Qi Fortune can, at most, be on par with cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm.

In other words,

Even if one uses the Qi Fortune of an entire country for suppression, a dynasty can only suppress cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm at most.

However,

Once it steps into the ranks of an empire,

Even the weakest national Qi Fortune would be able to suppress the Daoist Palace Realm, and truly powerful empires can even suppress Saints.

In the current End of Dharma Era, where Saints are a rarity, some empires with profound foundations are virtually invincible.

Take the Divine Wind Dynasty that arrived not long ago, for example; Gu Yang suspects that this ancient empire's Qi Fortune could vie with Saints.

As for the Guiyuan Dynasty, it is much weaker than the Divine Wind Dynasty.

Although it's said,

The Guiyuan Dynasty has lasted for a hundred thousand years, much older than the Divine Wind Dynasty.

But the problem lies in the fact that,

Over the course of a hundred thousand years, the Guiyuan Dynasty has only produced a few Semi-Saints, whereas the Divine Wind Dynasty has produced five Saints over eighty thousand years.

In terms of foundation, the former is naturally incomparable to the latter.

Now,

What Gu Yang has been doing is laying the groundwork for the subsequent ascension of the empire.

The Divine Martial Academy has been established in the Nine States and has begun to yield preliminary results over the years.

But to truly become the foundation of the court, it still requires some time to settle.

At this time,

A slightly sharp voice came from outside the Imperial Study Room.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard from Nanyue Mountain requests an audience!"

"Let him in."

Gu Yang said slowly, and then he saw a man push open the door of the Imperial Study Room and enter, taking three steps in two before kneeling on one knee and cupping his hands.

"Your subordinate Nanyue Mountain pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Nanyue Mountain then stood up straight.

Gu Yang looked at the person before him. Despite being young, his face was devoid of any childishness, and his brow carried a hint of a stern aura.

"How are things in the Nine States now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Heavenly Patrol Guard was ordered to patrol the Nine States. The majority of the troublemaking cultivators from the Ancient Desolate World have been directly suppressed, but there are still a very few cultivators who have escaped.

With the current strength of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, it's no problem to encircle and suppress a Great Grandmaster, but if we go up against cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm or above, we're outmatched!"

Nanyue Mountain showed a bitter smile.

Upon hearing this,

Gu Yang remained expressionless.

The Heavenly Patrol Guard was established only a few months ago. Its strength naturally couldn't be very formidable. Nanyue Mountain, once a prodigy of Divine Martial Academy, had entered the path of Martial Arts only a few years ago and already stepped into the Bone Refining Realm.

With such talent, as long as he doesn't fall unexpectedly, he would at the very least reach the Divine Transformation Realm, and there was even the possibility of entering the Daoist Palace Realm.

Moreover, since he was from a good background and extremely loyal to the court, Gu Yang had then brought him into the court as a Commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard.

To enhance Nanyue Mountain's strength, Gu Yang had also given him the remaining Grandmaster Ascension Pills, allowing him to directly ascend to the peak realm of a Great Grandmaster in one go.

Even though he was at the peak of the Great Grandmaster level and mastered the ninth level of True Intent, he was still no match in front of a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.

"The Heavenly Patrol Guard is newly established, so it's normal for its strength to be insufficient. From your observation, how many people in the Heavenly Patrol Guard have a hopeful chance to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm in the future?"

"Currently, the Heavenly Patrol Guard has three thousand members. Looking ahead, at most, only about a hundred have a chance to breakthrough to the Divine Transformation Realm!"

Nanyue Mountain shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat helpless.

Entering the Divine Transformation Realm was no easy feat. Even though the individuals of the Heavenly Patrol Guard are geniuses selected from various Martial Arts Academies, there are different levels of geniuses.

For most so-called geniuses, it would already be good if they could break through to Great Grandmaster in the future. To truly step into Divine Transformation Realm was certainly not that simple.

This was still thanks to the abundance of resources provided by the Divine Martial Dynasty and the rise of nature's Spiritual Energy. If it had been in the past, many would merely be potential Grandmasters.

"Breaking through to Divine Transformation Realm isn't easy, but as the Commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, the cultivation of Great Grandmaster's peak is indeed insufficient."

Gu Yang said this and casually tossed a storage bag to the other party.

"What's in here are things I have prepared for you. Three hundred jin of inferior grade Divine Blood Stone, and three bottles of Divine Blood Pills. Strive to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm with the greatest speed!"

"This subordinate will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Nanyue Mountain clutched the storage bag tightly, his face full of gratitude.

Divine Blood Stone!

Divine Blood Pill!

Both of these items were treasures that the Heavenly Patrol Guard couldn't truly come into contact with much.

Even for a cultivator at the peak of the Great Grandmaster like Nanyue Mountain, a month's salary would only be a mere five jin of inferior grade Divine Blood Stone and one Divine Blood Pill.

Of the use of Divine Blood Stones, Nanyue Mountain was certainly very clear.

This is the primary resource for cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm to cultivate. If cultivators at the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm could refine Divine Blood Stones, they could accelerate their breakthrough into the Divine Transformation Realm.
