"Tongzi, come out here for a moment, I have something to ask you," Gu Changqing said softly to the air.

"You're here! Host, please feel free to ask whatever you need," Greenie said cheerfully.

"Previously, I broke through 500,000 barriers to break through the twelfth level of the Immortal Emperor realm. Now, if I want to break through the thirteenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, how many more barriers do I need to break through?" Gu Changqing asked, puzzled.

"I'm sure you know that the higher you go, the more barriers you need to break through. To break through to the thirteenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, you need to break through one million barriers," Greenie explained carefully.

"A million shackles? That's so much, is my cultivation level enough?" Gu Changqing said uncertainly.

"I'm not entirely sure either. Why don't you try it and see, host? Good luck, host!" Greenie said understandingly.

So Gu Changqing stopped asking questions and prepared to give it a try. He sat down anywhere, closed his eyes, and with a thought, began to absorb his cultivation with all his might.

With the support of this spiritual energy, Gu Changqing's aura surged forward like a rocket, rapidly increasing in power!

"boom!"

Instantly, one of the light orbs in the system space disappeared, and Gu Changqing immediately felt a surge of power like the Yangtze River flowing into his body, continuously. In an instant, he became radiant, his face glowing red, and his aura surged like a raging torrent!

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

A series of enormous explosions, like fireworks during the Lunar New Year, erupted continuously. Gu Changqing's aura also rose steadily, reaching its peak in no time. He could clearly feel the shackles on his body being broken little by little.

"Boom!!"

The first shackle!

The tenth shackle!

The hundredth shackle!

The thousandth shackle!

The ten thousandth shackle!

The 100,000th shackle!

...

The 300,000th shackle!

The 500,000th shackle!

The millionth shackle!

"Boom!!"

In just one hour, Gu Changqing easily broke through one million shackles, as easily as one plus one equals two. At the same time, his dantian was expanding hundreds of millions of times, and his cultivation level was also rising rapidly. He was only one thin layer away from breaking through.

"Boom!"

As one million shackles were broken, extremely terrifying and powerful auras surged forth, never to return, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, and finally successfully broke through to the next level.

"boom!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!!"

Immortal Emperor, Thirteenth Heaven!

After successfully reaching the thirteenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, Gu Changqing finally stopped, exhaling a long breath of turbid air, extremely excited.

Then, upon further observation of his body, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that his body contained numerous small worlds, arranged in an orderly fashion like tiny planets, occasionally emanating an incredibly terrifying aura befitting a thirteenth-level Immortal Emperor!

His inner cultivation surged like a vast and boundless galaxy, with countless colorful and dazzling stars hanging above it, shining with endless holy light!

With every gesture, an aura of boundless terror, capable of shattering the sun, moon, and stars, suddenly erupted, incredibly powerful!

The thirteenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm is indeed extraordinary and terrifying.

"Yay! I did it! Hahaha!" Gu Changqing danced with joy like a child, having successfully broken through once again. Gu Changqing quickly checked the system space.

"Loading system interface."

[Host: Gu Changqing]

[Cultivation Level: Thirteenth Heaven of Immortal Emperor]

[Affiliated Sect: Qingyun Sect]

[Identity: Chief Inner Disciple of Qingyun Sect]

[Physique: Invincible Body + Great Luo Sword Body]

[Mount: High-grade Crimson Feather Ice Armor Qilin (Celestial Emperor Level 10)]

[Techniques and Supernatural Powers: Wind and Thunder Riot Technique, Heavenly Fire Burial Technique, Undying Golden Body Technique, Great Sun Blazing Fist, Great Sun Reincarnation Palm...]

[Weapons: Great Luo Sword Formation, Demon-Slaying Sword, Purple Lightning Frost Sword, Critical Strike Gauntlets...]

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Gu Changqing looked at the system interface and nodded in satisfaction; it was even more luxurious than before.

He really didn't expect that he would actually break through his limits again. It was such a pleasant surprise!

My God, I'm so amazing! I'm so proud of myself! One million! A whole million obstacles have been broken just like that! I never thought it would be so easy and so smooth. All my worries were completely unnecessary. It feels so great! I'm truly one of God's chosen ones.

It was me; if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have been so lucky, and it would have taken them forever to reach such a terrifying level.

If others knew that I was a powerful being at the thirteenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, I wonder what kind of terrified expressions they would show; their eyes would probably pop out.

And I just happen to be that one in a billion, destined person, hahaha, everything I do goes smoothly, and I'm blessed with good fortune.

Gu Changqing tried his best to suppress his excitement and sensed the power within him. He saw that the power within him was many times stronger and more terrifying than before!

It's easy to imagine that a casual strike now is many times more powerful than before.

"Congratulations, host, you have succeeded." Greenie's voice suddenly came from beside him.

Gu Changqing was startled and glared at Lü'er, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but Master, are you itching for a beating again? You keep scaring me like this. If you keep doing this, I'll beat you up. You should only appear when I need you, and you'd better disappear when I don't. You need to be more obedient."

This time, Greenie wisely kept her mouth shut.

In high spirits, Gu Changqing suddenly remembered something good: he had obtained a lot of treasures from his last trip to the Upper Realm. He realized that there were still many things he didn't need, and leaving them there as decorations was a waste of space. It would be better to sell them and exchange them for spirit stones.

So Gu Changqing rode the red unicorn through the clouds to Kowloon City, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

Looking down from mid-air, the beautiful scenery below is spread out before your eyes, and the pedestrians on the road seem as small as ants, with no sense of presence whatsoever.

Before long, they arrived at Kowloon City.

Gu Changqing placed the red Qilin into the system space, and then slowly descended from the sky, his every move resembling that of an immortal.

This scene stunned passersby; those who didn't know better might have thought it was a deity descending to earth.

Ignoring the envious and admiring glances from passersby, Gu Changqing headed towards the auction house.

Upon seeing Gu Changqing, the auction house owner quickly approached him and said with utmost respect, "Welcome back to our shop. It is truly an honor for me."

"I, Gu, don't come here without a reason. I've taken some things. Take a look and give me a reasonable price. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences," Gu Changqing said in a serious tone.
