Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"Your Majesty, these are the shards of the Flame Sun Mirror that I have collected!"

Inside the palace, Gu Yi, holding a box forged from gold, respectfully presented it to Gu Yang.

Upon opening the box, several shards quietly lay inside, among which three were larger, and the remaining five smaller.

However, even as shards, Gu Yang could feel the formidable, saintly pressure they emanated.

"This matter has been handled well by you, this shard of the Holy Weapon will be granted to you."

Gu Yang handed one of the larger Holy Weapon shards directly to Gu Yi, who was immensely grateful.

Holy Weapon shard.

Even though it was a broken Holy Weapon, it still contained terrifying divine power.

For ordinary cultivators, such Holy Weapon shards could still play a significant role.

That was the reason.

Gu Yang wanted to collect numerous Holy Weapon shards.

After the explosion of the Flame Sun Mirror outside Xing'an County, Gu Yang had secretly ordered people to collect the Holy Weapon shards; unfortunately, the Flame Sun Mirror had been scattered far and wide, coveted by many.

Thus, until now, Gu Yang had less than ten shards in his possession.

However.

Although there were fewer than ten shards.

Due to varying sizes of the shards, Gu Yang now virtually controlled one-third of the Flame Sun Mirror.

If there were an expert in Artifact Refining, perhaps all the shards could be reforged and the Flame Sun Mirror completely restored.

But.

Finding such a master of artifact refining was no easy task today, not to mention, restoring the Flame Sun Mirror would likely come at a great cost.

Moreover, possessing the Divine Phoenix Tower, Gu Yang naturally had no plans to reforge the Flame Sun Mirror.

"Furthermore, I need Hidden Guards to walk among the Nine States Martial Arts Academy and discreetly observe the talented cultivators in their training, then investigate their backgrounds and gauge their loyalty to the court.

If their backgrounds are clean and they are loyal to the court, compile a list and deliver it to my hands!"

"Yes!"

Gu Yi nodded.

"Moreover—"

Gu Yang pondered for a moment, his expression turning stern as he looked outside the Imperial Study Room.

"Find a way to get a group of people into the five domains of the Ancient Desolate World; I want firsthand information on everything about the control of the Ancient Desolate World. I will send with them a royal court attendant!"

Royal court attendant.

Of course, he referred to people like Gu Wu.

These individuals, originally elders from Gu Family Manor, now served the court, hence Gu Yang had granted them the status of royal court attendants.

Gu Family Manor is Gu Family Manor!

The Divine Martial Dynasty is the Divine Martial Dynasty!

Although the two were closely linked, in certain matters, they naturally could not be conflated.

Now, with many powerhouses from the Eastern Domain stepping into the Nine States and many fierce beasts of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range being slain, the dangerous nature of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range was naturally much reduced.

Moreover, having a powerhouse at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm leading the team, crossing the Ancient Beast Mountain Range would not be an issue.

This needed to be done.

Given that Nine States was now exposed to other forces of the Ancient Desolate World, even if the Divine Martial Dynasty did nothing, there would likely be repercussions from these forces.

Therefore.

Gu Yang was naturally making preparations beforehand.

"Subordinate receives the decree!"

Gu Yi clasped his fists to accept the command.

Gu Yang said, "Lastly, take those storage rings and bags collected from the Eastern Domain cultivators, and have any with restrictions sent to Gu Family Manor for my father to break the restrictions!

The rest without restrictions should be brought directly to me."

Many powerful individuals fell during the battle in Xing'an County, including those from the Dao Palace and Divine Transformation Realms, some of whose storage bags and rings retained some restrictions.

These restrictions varied in strength, so Gu Yang simply had all brought to Gu Qingfeng.

Regardless of the severity of the restrictions, with his father's power, breaking them would not be an issue.

Upon hearing this,

Gu Yi duly acknowledged the command.

In less than half a day,

he had delivered a batch of over a thousand storage bags and rings directly to Gu Yang.

Though only cultivators at the Dao Palace Realm could nurture a Primordial Spirit, simply comprehending True Intent allowed one to initially grasp the power of Divine Thought, thus opening these items was an effortless task.

After a long time,

A smile could not be hidden on Gu Yang's face.

"Very well, with such a batch of items, my Divine Martial Dynasty shall surely flourish!"

He was genuinely excited.

Among thousands of storage bags and rings were no fewer than five hundred doors of Cultivation Techniques, and, excluding some repeated ones, the variety was enough to surpass a hundred.

The biggest problem for the Divine Martial Dynasty was the lack of cultivation paths, with truly top-tier Cultivation Techniques being extremely rare.

So far, Gu Yang himself only had the Lei Feng Scripture, along with the Divine Sun Scripture created by Gu Qingfeng.

The former was a Cultivation Technique for the Divine Transformation Realm, while the latter aimed directly at the Dao Palace Realm.

For an ordinary power, having a Cultivation Technique that targeted the Ninth Layer of the Dao Palace Realm would be sufficient for inheritance.

But for a dynasty, that was quite inadequate.

After all, not everyone could match the same Cultivation Technique.

An ordinary power could choose disciples to cultivate, but a dynasty needed to spread martial prowess across the land, reflecting over all the people of Nine States, thus Cultivation Techniques had always been a shortcoming of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

But now it was different.

This time, a multitude of Cultivation Techniques was collected, including thirty that reached the Divine Transformation Realm and nine that entered the Dao Palace Realm.
