Chapter 178: Desperate Strength Gap They now all know the next few realms. In this world, there are only two people who have achieved the Divine Platform Realm. Judging from the Ladder List, even Gu Yuanqing is only at the seventh level of the Divine Platform. The more one understands about cultivation, the more one will understand the changes brought about by the gap between realms. Let alone six, even a cultivator of the ninth level of the Divine Platform can turn this world upside down. In an instant, Li Shian and the other three felt their hearts sink and their faces turned grim. Gu Yuanqing then smiled and said, "Don't panic, everyone. I have captured five of the six men. One has fled overseas. We can capture him once he returns." After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, then breathed a sigh of relief, followed by surprise and shock. These are cultivators at the ninth level of the Divine Platform, yet Gu Yuanqing took down five of them without any noise. How strong is Gu Yuanqing? Li Shian smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gu, you have to change your habit of speaking halfway. I was really scared by what you said earlier." Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "This is to put some pressure on you. Ninety years from now, there will be a world war. The other world can easily send six ninth-level gods. You can imagine how many masters there are in their world. Although we have developed rapidly in the past few years, we are still far behind the Linglong World."

The three of them looked solemn again after hearing what they said. Gu Yuanqing was right. This world was changing with each passing day. In a short period of time, there were more than a hundred Daotai cultivators and almost twenty Daohuo cultivators. The original sense of urgency of the world struggle seemed to have disappeared a lot. But now compared with the other side, they are nothing. If it weren't for Gu Yuanqing's action, the six people who came over could easily kill all the cultivators in this world without leaving a single piece of armor. After a while, Li Haotian asked, "How could someone come across the boundary? Isn't it said that no outsiders can enter this boundary under the Tongtian Monument?" Gu Yuanqing took out a palm-sized object. It was dark blue in color, with pointed ends and a thick middle. It looked like a weaving shuttle, and was covered with dense, fine lines. "It should be this magic weapon. I don't know what it was made of. The formation inside is completely broken." "Can you show it to me?" Li Haotian was a little curious about this magic weapon. Gu Yuanqing handed it over. Li Haotian reached out to take it, but his face suddenly changed. He took a horse stance and hurriedly held it with both hands. Then he managed to hold it firmly, but the wooden bench under his butt broke on the spot with a snap. Gu Yuanqing was stunned, and quickly used his power to help, apologetically saying, "I forgot to remind Your Majesty that this thing is a little heavy." Li Shian laughed unceremoniously and said, "Emperor, you must quickly improve your cultivation. Ten years have passed, and you have been drinking the spiritual spring water every day, but you have not yet achieved enlightenment. This is a bit unreasonable." Li Haotian's face was slightly irritable: "I also want to spend more time on cultivation, but after this incident, Daqian has changed too much, and there are too many things to do. I can't spare the time." As he spoke, he glared at Gu Yuanqing, somewhat suspecting that this boy was deliberately trying to embarrass him. Gu Yuanqing saw the look and smiled awkwardly. He didn't have such thoughts. The magic weapon was so light in his hand that he didn't even think about the fact that Li Haotian couldn't catch it. The item went around in the hands of the three people before returning to Gu Yuanqing. He smiled and said, "It's quite interesting after these people came. They didn't think about killing people, but instead thought about how to train more masters in this world." "Training experts?" Li Shian asked in surprise. Li Haotian's eyes flickered, and he snorted coldly, "How can there be such a kind-hearted person? I think he must have other intentions. Could it be that he is eyeing the rewards of the ladder in this world?" Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is worthy of your words. That is exactly what they are planning. Various divine objects and techniques can be obtained in the Heavenly Ladder, and some of them are also very beneficial to the peak of the Divine Platform. They came to this world and planned to divide the boundaries and rule them, enslave the practitioners in this world, and cultivate masters. They just want to get better rewards." Li Haotian suddenly stood up and bowed deeply: "Gu Yuanqing, I thank you on behalf of the people of Daqian."

Gu Yuanqing quickly stood up to return the greeting. After all, Li Haotian was still Li Miaoxuan's father and Li Chengyi's grandfather. According to his previous life, he had to respectfully call him father-in-law. However, in this life, he and Li Miaoxuan had only been together for one night and there had not been any big greetings. "Your Majesty, you are too polite. After all, I am a Daqian person in this world, so it is only right for me to do this." After sitting down, Li Shian asked again: "How do you plan to deal with these people, Master Gu?" Gu Yuanqing said: "This is also what I invited you to discuss. There are few high-level cultivators in my floating world, and the path of cultivation is not just about holding a secret book. Therefore, I want to use these people to guide the cultivators in this world." Prince Qing frowned and said, "Master Gu, this is a good idea, but these cultivators are enemies, how could they be willing to do this?" Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I have my own way of controlling it. So, I will call one person out first, and everyone will first understand the situation in the other party's realm. Then we will discuss and decide on a proper strategy." "This is the best. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. I am also curious about what this ninth-level cultivator of the Divine Platform looks like." Li Haotianlu said with a smile. Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and brought over a man who was imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance. This man was called Chen Zhengfeng, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked upright, but in fact he was a coward who was afraid of death and surrendered immediately after being captured by Gu Yuanqing. When he arrived at the pavilion, he smiled as soon as he saw Gu Yuanqing, leaned forward, and said in a flattering manner: "Master Gu, you called me here, but what do you want me to do?" Gu Yuanqing said calmly: "I called you here to ask you something, you'd better tell the truth." Chen Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Gu. Since I have already turned from evil to good and surrendered to you, I will tell you everything I know if you ask." Li Shian, Li Haotian and Prince Qing looked at each other in surprise after seeing him. This was completely different from the ninth-level master of the divine platform that they had imagined. Instead, he looked more like a small-minded person in the market. Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, "First, tell me what forces and masters there are in your Xieyue Realm, and how strong are they?" Chen Zhengfeng seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and said, "There are five families in my Xieyue Realm, among which the Bai and Wang families are the strongest. My Chen, Ji, and Tong families are all slightly weaker. If it weren't for the Xieyue Order, I'm afraid we would have been swallowed up by it long ago. On the surface, the heads of the five families are all at the peak of the Divine Stage, but in reality, no matter which family, there are cultivators at the Void Sky Realm. However, the laws in the Slanting Moon Realm do not allow cultivators at the Divine Stage to appear, so cultivators at the Void Sky Realm are basically hidden in small secret realms. " "There are still Xutian monks? Do you know how many there are?" "There is only one in my Chen family, and the same should be true for the Ji and Tong families. The Bai and Wang families should have two each." Li Shian and the others looked even more solemn after hearing this. They had to look up to the existence of the ninth level of the Divine Platform, let alone the Void Sky Realm! They all couldn't help but look at Gu Yuanqing, feeling that it was fortunate that Gu Yuanqing was there, otherwise the so-called world dispute would be a joke. Gu Yuanqing asked again: "Where is the monk of the divine platform?" Chen Zhengfeng continued, "There are quite a lot of Divine Platform cultivators in this world. Let me talk about the Divine Platform Nineth Level first. There are five people in the Bai family who are above the Divine Platform Nineth Level, and there are four in the Wang family. There are two people each in my Chen family, Ji family, and Tong family. In addition, there are two more Divine Platform Nineth Level cultivators who are idle outside, a total of seventeen people. And the Divine Platform Eighth Level..." As Chen Zhengfeng introduced them one by one. Li Shian and the other three took a deep breath. Is this the Linglong Realm? It's still ranked last! It is completely incomparable with the Floating World. If there was no Gu Yuanqing, let alone these five families, even any one of the forces at a lower level could easily sweep the Floating World. Chen Zhenghao also noticed the expressions of the people around him. He secretly mocked them as bumpkins in his heart, but smiled and said, "Linglong Realm is blessed by heaven and earth, and is full of spiritual energy. Children in the realm are born as Yuanshi, and the material resources in the realm are abundant, so the practice is faster. However, perhaps because of this, the practice is too smooth. After reaching the ninth level of the Divine Platform, it is extremely difficult to break through. Moreover, even if all these people are added together, they are nothing compared to you, young master." Gu Yuanqing was indifferent to the flattery, but his heart sank. He knew his own situation very well. He was only at the fourth level of the divine platform now. The only reason he could pass the 22nd level of the ladder was because of his rich foundation. Ninety years is neither short nor long. Perhaps one can achieve the realm of Xutian, but perhaps only reach the peak of the Divine Platform. It will be difficult to deal with so many high-level cultivators. If he was in the Beiquan Mountain area, he would naturally have nothing to fear, but the world conflict might be in the ancient world, and the specific situation was still unknown. And by then, even if he broke through the Xutian realm, if he was entangled by several Xutian cultivators on the other side, the rest of the Shentai cultivators would require other people in this world to fight back.

From the current perspective, it is extremely difficult! Li Shian and others were obviously aware of these problems, and their faces looked extremely solemn. Gu Yuanqing asked some more questions, and Chen Zhengfeng answered them one by one. Then Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and sent him back to the Cliff of Repentance. Gu Yuanqing said slowly: "Now everyone knows the situation of the Xieyue Realm. Tell me, what should we do?" Li Shian's face was full of bitterness: "Compared to them, we are so far behind. The gap is simply despairing." Li Haotian looked dazed, Daqian had been growing stronger and stronger over the past few years, and his ambition had been getting higher and higher, but today he realized that he was just looking at the world from a well. Was it possible for him to defeat such an opponent? Prince Qing also remained silent, his mind in confusion. Gu Yuanqing said calmly: "During the world war, I can at most block the existence of the Void Sky Realm, but the Divine Platform cultivators have to rely on you! There are only ninety years left. Now is not the time to be afraid of the opponent and lament. You should think carefully about how to strengthen your own strength as much as possible." After a while, Li Haotian pulled himself together and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, uncle, Yuan Qing is right. This is not the time to think about these things. Now at least we have a goal, and we should think about how to improve our strength and how to deal with the enemy. We are in the floating world, and it is normal that we are not as good as others now, but we have ninety years and the ladder to heaven, so we may have a chance. Even if we fail in the end, we will just go back to the way we were before. If we succeed, we will soar into the sky!" Gu Yuanqing looked at Li Haotian for a second longer. He didn't expect that the first one to cheer up would be him, who had the lowest cultivation level. Anyone who could become an emperor must have an extraordinary character. Li Shian and Prince Qing also took a deep breath and nodded slowly. Li Haotian said again: "Yuanqing, our cultivation is too weak, and the development of the floating world still requires your concern. First of all, let's talk about how to make good use of these outsiders to guide the cultivation of our floating world cultivators!" Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly: "This is what I think. Let me tell you first. If there is anything wrong, we can discuss it together..." (End of this chapter)
