When his thoughts returned to reality, Gu Xu clearly felt the powerful power flowing in his body.

Every cell of his body is constantly shattered and reshaped unconsciously, like pig iron turned into steel after being tempered for thousands of years, and like a stone turned into beautiful jade after being sliced and pondered.

The muscles that were originally thin have become strong and strong.

A surging heartbeat, more powerful than ever.

He silently observed his new self with his divine sense.

Although he looked the same as before when he was dressed, he did not become a burly man with knotted muscles, but he was still the image of a handsome man.

But he knew he finally had the mermaid line and eight-pack abs he had coveted, as well as a long lifespan of hundreds of years.

At this time, his pure physical strength was no longer weaker than that of a martial artist who had cultivated the physical method since he was a child, and even when he went to wrestle with the Altan Khan, who cultivated the art of totem, he also felt that he had a chance to win.

He slowly opened his eyes.

I saw a bright light in the secret room, like a rising sun, dazzling.

But the light did not spread in all directions, but was absorbed by the black and white mist floating in the secret room, and gradually disappeared, as if the sea water had fallen into a bottomless maelstrom.

The most critical realm promotion in Gu Xu's life was quietly completed.

There was no vision of grandeur, no congratulations from all the people under his command, no alarm of heaven and earth, and no alarm of the enemy.

Low-key, quiet, unpretentious.

It seems that he is not worthy of the person of a saint at all.

But Gu Xu was very satisfied with this.

Luo Chuan, Zhao Changying, and Xu Man were still sitting in the three directions of the formation, their faces flickering in the flow of light. Maintaining the "Yin and Yang Infinite Heaven Deception Spirit Array" for a long time had already made their faces show a little tiredness.

When the light in the room dissipated, Gu Xu took the lead in standing up.

Luo Chuan also hurriedly got up, rushed ahead of the other two, and hugged his fists at Gu Xu and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for his promotion to the realm of saints." The emperor will calm the world and unify the world, which is just around the corner. ”

Zhao Changying had long been unaccustomed to Luo Chuan's villain posture who liked flattery, and secretly slandered: You are a strong person of the Eighth Realm True Monarch, how can you behave so ungracefully every day?

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Changying's movements were not much slower than Luo Chuan's, and he followed up and said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

When Gu Xu was in the sixth realm, he had already defeated Xiao Zeyao's ghost body.

Now that he is promoted to a saint, how terrifying will his strength become?

Although Gu Xu's aura was restrained at the moment, he looked no different from ordinary people, and people couldn't detect the depths, but Zhao Changying didn't dare to underestimate it at all - he even felt that even if he was in the eighth realm, he might not be able to win if he fought with Gu Xu now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changying was once again glad that this fierce young man was his son-in-law, not his enemy. In the future, to rectify the mountains and rivers and avenge Qu Qingqiu, you still need to rely on his strength.

As for Xu Man, he looked at Gu Xu's excessively young face, and his mood was complicated.

As we all know, the appearance of a strong saint will always be fixed at the moment of promotion.

From now on, Gu Xu will always maintain the appearance of eighteen years old and no longer age-if the women of the Great Wilderness know about this, they must be envious.

"How long have I been practicing?" Gu Xu asked.

When he closes his eyes and plunges into the netherworld, he loses the concept of time.

A short moment in the sea of knowledge, in the real world, is likely to be days, weeks, or even months.

"Seven days." Luo Chuan replied.

Seven days is not a long time for a breakthrough saint.

But for the recent tensions in the Great Wilderness, seven days is enough for many, many things to happen.

Gu Xu didn't ask any more questions, glanced at the astrolabe with his divine sense, and disappeared in place in an instant.

Luo Chuan and the three of them looked at each other and left after them.

…………

As Gu Xu said, although Emperor Tianxing has lived in the deep palace for a long time and ignores the government, his control over the Great Qi court is far from being comparable to Princess Zhaoning.

Over the years, although Princess Zhaoning has been handling the performance and giving orders on behalf of the emperor, many of the courtiers of Great Qi, especially those who have cultivated themselves, do not look down on this mortal princess at all in their bones.

When the edicts of the temples reach the localities, they are often delayed, lazy, and disobeyed; The taxes that should be collected are often not collected evenly.

In the past, when Luo Chuan and Zhao Changying were still working for the imperial court, these people were still a little restrained.

But now, with the rebellion of three of the five saints of the Great Qi Dynasty, many sects and families in the territory have begun to no longer obey the command of the court, and even secretly hoard resources, contact the rebels, and bet on both ends.

Princess Zhaoning has been tossed by these people recently.

She hoped that all parts of Daqi could concentrate their forces and deal with the rebels in a unified manner, but she didn't want to let these people open their mouths and give up too many interests of the imperial court.

Fortunately, the emperor was finally out of the customs.

As the nominal strongest in the Great Wilderness and the owner of the "Tai'a Sword", Emperor Tianxing used a series of thunderous means to quickly control the situation in the country, so that the old and rusty machine of Daqi suddenly became alive and well.

Two small sects located in the western part of Great Qi, the Spirit Beast Sect and the Blood Demon Sect, were caught by Emperor Tianxing because they were in contact with the rebels in private.

Emperor Tianxing immediately sent a few Sixth Realm cultivators over and beheaded their entire sect, up to the sect master elders, down to the disciples and miscellaneous servants, and not one of them was left behind—in exchange for Princess Zhaoning, she didn't dare to make such a ruthless hand easily.

However, his killing of chickens and monkeys was indeed very effective.

The various sect forces of Great Qi realized that this emperor dared to kill, and he also had the strength to kill people.

Don't say it's two small sects.

At the beginning, Zhong Ming Ding Food Families like the Lu Clan in Qingzhou, as a descendant of immortals, mastered the famous weapons of the Great Wilderness, and were all punished by Emperor Tianxing in the name of "treason".

For a while, everyone reined in all kinds of small actions, and all orders must be carried out and prohibitions must be stopped.

And while severely punishing traitors, Emperor Tianxing did not forget to give his courtiers some sweetness.

For example, Shi Lei, a thousand households in Laizhou Mansion who "killed relatives with righteousness", was recently promoted to a rank and transferred to the capital, and was also rewarded with a mansion and a lot of property.

Emperor Tianxing obviously wanted to use this to release a signal of appeasement-"Even a person like Shi Lei, who almost became an in-law with the thief leader, I can reward him as usual, regardless of his previous suspicions." Why don't you go and kill the enemy for me? ”

Of course, Shi Lei himself understands that this can be regarded as a bright rise and a dark fall.

When he was in Laizhou, he was the head of the Exorcism Department of a prefecture, and the monks under his command were at his disposal, and he could get the support of nearby relatives at any time; In Luojing, he did not have much real power in his hands, and he was under the watchful eye of the emperor and was constrained by others everywhere.

After all, the emperor couldn't trust him.

But now, Shi Lei has no pursuit of power. The only thing he is currently concerned about is his daughter who is far away in the Sword Pavilion. (End of chapter)
