Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

Chapter 673: Chapter 644: 16th-Tier Divine Kingdom

The Great Leiyin Temple has witnessed the emergence of a Saint.

This has forced the Cyan Yang Divine Court to once again retract its battle lines, moving all fronts behind the Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Array.

The reason for this is to prevent a Saint’s attack.

After all.

Last time, when Shakyamuni Buddha broke through, many cultivators who had subjugated star systems in the Immortal Realm fell directly into the hands of the enemy without having time to retreat.

In front of a sixteenth-level powerhouse, even a fifteenth-level one is no different from an ant.

Without a powerhouse of equal level emerging, engaging in a frontal assault has no meaning.

With Shakyamuni Buddha being repelled, and the Cyan Yang Divine Court retracting its lines, the flames of war on the Two Realms battlefield have completely ceased, with both sides entering into a subtle balance, neither making any further moves to probe.

After all.

With the Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Array in place, the Upper Realm powerhouses know they have no chance of breaking the array.

Since even a Saint cannot do it, there’s no need to say more about others.

The array remains intact.

To obliterate the Cyan Yang Divine Court is but a dream.

Similarly.

The Cyan Yang Divine Court has also abandoned the thought of entering the Two Realms battlefield.

Therefore.

Under such circumstances, the war naturally subsides.

——

"A Saint!"

On the Path to Immortality, Gu Qingyang gazed at the starry sky; when Shakyamuni Buddha became a Saint, that wave couldn’t escape his perception.

However.

A Saint.

Doesn’t stand a chance to shake the Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Array.

This point.

Gu Qingyang is absolutely confident about.

The facts proved him right.

The formidable Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Array forced Shakyamuni Buddha to retreat.

Afterwards.

Gu Qingyang no longer concerned himself with worldly affairs, wholeheartedly delving into the Creation Jade Disc.

...

Time passed by.

A hundred thousand years went by.

On this day.

Gu Qingyang’s mind withdrew from the Hongmeng Jade Butterfly, casting a glance at his data panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Cyan Yang Divine Realm (Seventh Tier)

Combat Power: Seventeenth Tier Middle Grade

Divine Kingdom: Fifteenth Tier (105,631 Qian Zi/100,000 Qian Zi)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 10 Trillion

...

"A hundred thousand and five thousand Qian Zi of Faith Power, it’s finally time to break through!"

Gu Qingyang mused to himself.

In fact, several thousand years ago, the Divine Kingdom had the ability to ascend.

He simply withheld it, preventing the Divine Kingdom from ascending.

After all.

While ascending the Divine Kingdom is easy, should the Faith Power be exhausted, it would impede the growth of followers thereafter.

Now, with an additional five thousand Qian Zi of Faith Power, Gu Qingyang naturally doesn’t need to wait any longer and with a single thought, he lets the entire Divine Kingdom ascend directly.

"Boom!"

At the moment the Divine Kingdom ascended, the Cyan Yang Divine Realm slightly trembled, and all top powerhouses felt in that instant, the solidity of the entire world’s space directly rose a tier.

Even if a fifteenth-level powerhouse attacked with all their might, they couldn’t tear the space apart.

Such a change.

Shocked many powerhouses.

However.

Gu Qingyang ignored these.

The moment the Divine Kingdom successfully ascended, he began to establish the sixteenth-tier Divine Kingdom Shop, initially deducing the relevant opportunities at tier sixteen, completing the entire Divine Kingdom Shop.

"The Divine Kingdom Shop has broken through to tier sixteen!"

At the moment the Divine Kingdom Shop ascended, a powerhouse immediately noticed the difference.

All the powerhouses of the Divine Court opened the Divine Kingdom Shop, and upon seeing the many Supreme Treasures listed above, their inner excitement was naturally palpable.

"The Saint’s Dao Fruit, consuming it can directly attain sainthood!"

"The Immortal King Dao Fruit, using it can aim for the Immortal King Realm."

"The Venerable Dao Fruit, consuming it can achieve Supreme Divine Magic!"

Three kinds of Dao Fruits!

Directly targeting the sixteenth realm of the three major systems.

Such a scene undoubtedly delighted all the cultivators.

Especially Ji Xuan and others, who understood the moment they saw the Dao Fruits appear, that the Cyan Yang Divine Court finally had the qualification to make a comeback.

As long as they exchanged for the Dao Fruits, the Cyan Yang Divine Court could rapidly cultivate enough sixteenth-tier powerhouses in the shortest possible time.

However.

Upon realizing that the Dao Fruits required one thousand Qian Zi of Contribution Points, they fell silent.

One thousand Qian Zi!

Which equates to ten million Gai of Contribution Points.

Even for the current Cyan Yang Divine Court, it’s an astronomical figure.

Immediately.

All the senior officials of the Divine Court convened a meeting.

Ji Xuan wasted no time, straightforwardly stating: "The Divine Kingdom Shop has ascended to tier sixteen, which I’m sure you’re all aware of, but to exchange for a tier sixteen Dao Fruit requires one thousand Qian Zi of Contribution Points.

I, Ji, need to clearly understand now, how much of these resources can the Divine Court muster, and whether it can nurture a few sixteenth-tier powerhouses in the short term.

Without saying more, if the Cyan Yang Divine Court can produce two sixteenth-tier powerhouses, we can reclaim all lost ground and ensure the Upper Realm no longer has the opportunity to step into the starry sky!"

"Elder Ji’s claim is correct, but there’s another issue, which is if the Divine Court indeed exchanges for the Dao Fruits, who then should consume them?"

Someone raised this crucial question.

Everyone desires to break through to tier sixteen, so if the Dao Fruits are indeed exchanged, who gets to consume them becomes a problem.

At this moment.

Yang Yan spoke: "As for who consumes the Dao Fruits, it’s simple. The cultivation world itself respects the strong. Let strength speak; the stronger should naturally consume the Dao Fruits to attain the sixteenth tier.

It’s only such strong individuals who can lead the Divine Court in a counterattack against the Immortal Realm, expelling the Upper Realm cultivators!"

"I, Ji, have no issues with this proposal!"

"Nor do I—"

As Yang Yan concluded, Ji Xuan and Gu Fang, among others, directly nodded in agreement, only a few had discontent in their expressions.

Because they knew very well, that if it were by strength, then the Dao Fruits would definitely not come to them.

However.

Seeing Ji Xuan and others agree, even if some had other ideas, they had to reluctantly accept the situation.

——

Name: Gu Qingyang

Essence: Cyan Yang Divine Realm (Seventh Tier)

Combat Power: Seventeenth Tier Upper Grade

Divine Kingdom: Sixteenth Tier (5,631 Qian Zi/10,000,000 Qian Zi)

Heavenly Dao Origin: 10 Trillion

...

Gu Qingyang paid little attention to the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s situation; with the ascension of the Divine Kingdom, he felt his own power suddenly increase significantly, and upon reviewing his data panel, he found his combat power had already successfully broken through to the seventeenth-tier upper grade.

A hundred thousand years of accumulation.

Allowed Gu Qingyang to command the power of eighty-one Chaos Demon Gods, thus his combat power had long reached the pinnacle of seventeenth-tier middle grade.

Now with the Divine Kingdom’s ascension, the accompanying power increase naturally enabled Gu Qingyang’s combat power to successfully break through the original barrier, ascending to the seventeenth-tier upper grade.

Both at the seventeenth tier.

Middle grade and upper grade are entirely different concepts.

Feeling the terrifying power reawakening within him, the long-still Celestial Tree finally trembled slightly.

Witnessing this scene.

The many Harmonization Immortal Venerables of the Upper Realm were elated.

In their view, having collectively attacked the Celestial Tree for two hundred thousand years, the Tree’s reaction now likely signaled its imminent collapse.

If the Celestial Tree were to shatter, the Lower Realm would no longer be able to hinder their advance.
