"You did well. The Underworld is fully developing. The war between the Human Clan and the Evil God Clan is likely to erupt completely soon.

At that time, I might need to borrow the power of the Underworld!"

Gu Qingfeng said calmly, his voice echoing in the grand hall of the Underworld, carrying an indisputable authority.

His gaze swept over the many Yin Cha in the hall, finally resting on Gu Peng.

The current foundation of the Underworld is temporarily useless to him.

A hundred thousand Ghost Soldiers and ten thousand Ghost Generals sound like a large number, but in the face of true experts, these forces are still too weak.

A single Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerate could easily sweep across the entire Underworld.

However, if given some time to grow, the story would be different.

The Underworld is after all a presence on par with the Endless Immortal Domain, and if given time to develop, its foundational strength should not be underestimated.

As the ruler of reincarnation, the Underworld has infinite growth potential.

Someday, the Underworld will be able to play a tremendous role.

Imagine the horror of an army composed of billions of Ghost Soldiers breaching the void, and countless Yin Cha mastering the cycle of life and death.

In this regard, Gu Qingfeng naturally holds optimism.

As the Lord of Mount Tai, he shares in the glory and loss of the Underworld.

The stronger the Underworld, the stronger his own strength.

Of course, as always, everything needs time.

If 30 million years isn't enough, then 300 million or even 3 billion years.

For a Heavenly Venerate, time is the least valuable of things; they possess nearly eternal life.

Given enough time, the Underworld will be the greatest foundation of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

A Underworld capable of rivaling the Endless Immortal Domain will contain unimaginable power.

However—

Even now, the existence of the Underworld is indispensable.

After all, the power of the Underworld, centered on the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm, expands toward other immortal realms. Any cultivator from Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty who falls can enter the Underworld.

After entering the Underworld, these cultivators can either be reincarnated and start anew, or be cultivated as Ghost Soldiers and Yin Cha, continuing to serve the Immortal Dynasty. This is equivalent to giving the cultivators of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty a second life.

This greatly helps to boost morale and enhance unity.

After all, everyone knows that even if they die on the battlefield, there is still a chance to return.

Of course, as it stands, the foundation of the Underworld is still too shallow.

Turning all the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's cultivators into Ghost Soldiers and Yin Cha is impossible.

The Underworld's capacity is limited and cannot accommodate too many spirits.

But given time, achieving this is actually not a big problem.

As the Underworld continues to expand, its capacity will also grow stronger.

The reason is simple.

How large is the Underworld?

How large is the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty?

As an entity on the same level as the Endless Immortal Domain, the Underworld will ultimately be able to match the entire Endless Immortal Domain.

The Endless Immortal Domain, known for its boundlessness, is so vast that even a Heavenly Venerate finds it exceedingly difficult to reach its end.

No one can truly say how large the Endless Immortal Domain is.

Within the whole Endless Immortal Domain, even the expansive Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty is but a drop in the ocean.

Although the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty has annexed tens of thousands of surrounding immortals, it is still insignificant compared to the entire Endless Immortal Domain.

If the Underworld truly grows to the extent of the Endless Immortal Domain, accommodating the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty would be a simple matter.

By then, the Underworld will become the true master of reincarnation, controlling the life and death of billions.

Thus, as time progresses, the role of the Underworld will grow ever larger.

From initially only accommodating a small number of spirits, to later bearing the entire Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, to eventually rivaling the Endless Immortal Domain, it is a gradual process.

"I will devote myself fully to managing the Underworld, so as to ease the concerns of the Lord!"

Gu Peng said respectfully, his voice filled with determination.

As King Qinguang, he understands the potential of the Underworld more than anyone.

Given enough time, the Underworld will surely become a force capable of changing the course of war.

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, feeling satisfied with Gu Peng's attitude.

He didn't stay long in the Underworld, and his Divine Thought withdrew.

Although the Underworld is important, dealing with the threat from the Evil God Clan is the most pressing issue right now.

Leaving the Underworld, the Divine Thought returns to the body.

Gu Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance crossing his gaze.

After a hundred thousand years of healing, his injuries have finally healed completely, his condition even better than before the injury.

Gu Qingfeng finally emerges from seclusion.

This particular period of seclusion took him a hundred thousand years just to heal.

From a mortal's perspective, a hundred thousand years could see civilizations rise and fall.

But to a Heavenly Venerate, it's merely a somewhat prolonged period of seclusion.

This is the longest time Gu Qingfeng has ever spent in seclusion due to injuries.

Previously, no matter how severe his injuries were, he could recover quickly.

But the Immortal Tao Rhythm was too troublesome, and even with his abilities, it took a hundred thousand years to completely eradicate.

However—

If ordinary Heavenly Venerates suffered such injuries, not to mention a hundred thousand years, even a million years, or ten million years, would find it difficult to truly heal.

The Immortal Tao Rhythm clings like a pestilent growth on bone, continuously eroding a cultivator's vitality until the cultivator is completely extinguished.

Due to the difficulty of dispelling the Immortal Tao Rhythm, if Gu Qingfeng hadn't used the Power of Yellow Springs to gradually grind it away, he wouldn't know how many more years would be needed to recover from his injuries.
