Chapter 352: 352 West Bank Continent
In the academy, when the dean saw Gu Yang pick up the Emperor’s Sword, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, and in a blink, he had already disappeared from his original spot.
Off to the side, Li Yuan was taken aback, he really didn’t expect that the Emperor’s Sword would actually acknowledge Gu Yang.
Even though Li Yuan had only seen Gu Yang once, the intense aura of the Monster Race on Gu Yang made him almost believe that this was a Divine Beast in human skin.
He had a deep wariness towards the Monster Race.
As for those like Gu Yang who possess the bloodline of the Monster Race, he was naturally cautious.
Even if Gu Yang was recognized by the Emperor’s Sword, it didn’t completely dispel his suspicions.
…
Gu Yang could sense someone spying on him, but he didn’t care. When he came to take the Emperor’s Sword, he was prepared, as such a thing cannot be concealed from others.
With his current strength, the only ones who could pose a threat to him were Celestial Beings.
Around the world, Celestial Beings could be counted on fingers.
Two from the Great Zhou, two from the prairies, one from Chi Ming Tian, three from the Three Sacred Doors, and then Yaochi Immortal Palace…
Alright, two hands were not enough to count.
The key point was it was unclear how many Celestial Beings were in the Yaochi Immortal Palace.
In summary, even if everyone in the world knew that the Emperor’s Sword was in his hands, there should not be many daring to trouble him.
Gu Yang held the Emperor’s Sword and felt a hefty power coming over. It was extremely heavy yet contained vigorous life energy, mighty and vast.
Under the blessing of this power, his mana became more spiritual, his mind clearer, and even his physical strength had significantly increased out of nowhere.
It was indeed an across-the-board improvement.
“Is this destiny?”
He was a bit surprised.
Though these forces of destiny couldn’t be used directly to fend off enemies, they greatly amplified his strength.
With this sword in his hands, his fighting power at least doubled.
And this was just some of the power of the Emperor’s Sword.
As expected of the supreme treasure of the Human Race, it gave him a great surprise.
Feet sounds came from behind.
Without turning back, Gu Yang said, “These are the heritage left by the Xia Dynasty. Send someone to the palace to report to the Queen Mother, seal up the scene, and wait for the Queen Mother to receive it.”
The one who came in was the commander of the Feather Forest Army guarding the altar. Realizing that the mana barrier had disappeared, he plucked up the courage to walk in.
He saw a passage to the Secret Realm filled with various treasures and all types of weapons. He was dumbfounded.
Then he saw the Lord of the State lying on the ground, dead. There were two people standing there, one tall and one short.
He recognized at a glance that the younger man was Gu Yang.
The speed of Gu Yang’s rise was amazing, shocking and tongue-tied.
When Gu Yang’s name disappeared from the top of the Master’s list, everyone knew he had broken through to the Unleaking Realm, becoming the world’s pinnacle powerhouse.
From then on, every family had to firmly remember Gu Yang’s image to avoid inadvertently provoking him.
Although the commander of the Feather Forest Army had never seen Gu Yang, he still recognized him at a glance, and was mightily astonished.
Only when Gu Yang spoke did he subconsciously salute, “Yes sir.”
As he looked up, Gu Yang and the giant who was over a meter tall had already soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He sighed with relief, then turned to look at the Secret Realm. Seeing the mountains of gold and silver and rows of shiny new weapons, he became excited.
Having Gu Yang was indeed the fortune of Great Zhou.
As for the rumors about Gu Yang and the Queen Mother, he subconsciously ignored them.
…
…
Gu Yang took Wei Hao and left the Divine City. Before leaving, he looked back in the direction of the academy.
From this distance, with his divine power of celestial vision and hearing, he could see everyone in the academy. Xi Huang and the Little Green Bird, Ling Ling, Su Qingzhen, Pei Qianlan, Chu Xiyue, Ye Lingbo and so on.
Some were practicing, some were reading, and some were dazing…
Gu Yang looked in the direction of the palace, but unfortunately, a strange force prevented his celestial vision and hearing, and he could see nothing at all.
He didn’t know how Su Ningyan and Cao Yiyi were doing.
Soon, after more than two hundred miles, he could see nothing.
Now is not the time for romance.
There were only ten days left until the Yaochi Conference.
Although he had broken through to the second level of the Unleaking Realm and obtained the Emperor’s Sword, whether he could survive the Yaochi Conference was still an unknown.
Gu Yang opened the System and initiated a Simulation.
“At twenty-three years old, you are already at the second level of Unleaking Realm, and with obtaining the Emperor’s Sword, your fame has escalated even more.”
“Ten days later, on your way to the shore of North Sea, as you entered the Yaochi Immortal Palace, you triggered some kind of prohibition. Despite your efforts to resist, you still die on the spot, at the age of twenty-three.”
It was the same outcome as before.
Although Gu Yang had some expectation, it still made him somewhat frustrated.
It seems that without the strength of a Celestial Being, it would be impossible to pass this test.
“Why would I trigger the prohibition of the Yaochi Immortal Palace?”
He thought about this question.
Was it because there was something special about him?
Perhaps he should ask the Little Green Bird, maybe it was trouble caused by the Phoenix in ancient times.
Nevertheless, it all came back to improving one’s strength.
Where should he go next?
