Chapter 901 477: Soar Like a Bird if You Succeed, Vanish if You Fail

The second breakthrough of Emperor Xuan happened two years later.

During these two years, the Da Xuan Dynasty and the Demon Domain were in utter chaos, like a pot of mixed porridge.

Rebels and defectors emerged everywhere, and due to the young age of the regent Imperial Grandson on the court, power struggles were incessant.

Especially after Qing Feng and Ming Yue intervened, the entire Da Xuan became even more decadent.

However, even so, Emperor Xuan did not emerge to reorganize; for him, as long as Da Xuan wasn't destroyed, everything would not be a big problem once he broke through to the God Demon realm.

Qing Feng and Ming Yue did not directly intervene in the court but established their own stronghold, dominating a province, and began reforms in the province they occupied based on the knowledge imparted to them by Gu Shanhai.

They were not short on support; they were well-connected with many friends assisting them, and with their profound background, they could also attract many talents.

Gu Shanhai also provided some remote support, letting people know that he was always paying attention to Qing Feng and Ming Yue.

"Considering the time, this breakthrough of Emperor Xuan is a bit rushed." Gu Shanhai looked at the time.

Gu Shanhai knew that it would be best to stabilize for another three to five years, as Emperor Xuan had injured his foundation before, not to mention needing to comprehend the Three Strange Books.

Two years was actually not a long time, but rather very short.

"Indeed, with the Da Xuan Dynasty in such decadence now, he might want to stabilize for three to five years, but whether the Da Xuan Dynasty will still exist in three to five years is another matter."

During these two years, the Red Pattern Demon God died, and the extraction point on it had long disappeared.

Gu Shanhai obtained some relevant data, but unfortunately, it was still too little and not systematic, rendering it completely ineffective.

Besides, he was researching secret realms.

A kind of special space attached to the world, filled with all sorts of things, somewhat resembling an instance.

From the God Demon memories, it could be confirmed that secret realms had existed for a long time, at least in the memories of the new generation of God Demons, they already existed in their era.

Gu Shanhai researched it for a long time and discovered that this thing seemed a bit like a tumor.

After careful investigation, he finally understood what secret realms truly were.

They were the resonance from special laws formed on the remains of deceased God Demons.

Of course, only Ancient Law Demons could become secret realms after death, while Modern Law Demons did not have this ability. Their laws changed from the original law abilities to a characteristic similar to "once proven, forever proven," a characteristic not found in Ancient Law Demons.

Frankly, Gu Shanhai was also very surprised after seeing the death circumstances of Ancient Law Demons. In terms of combat power, vitality, and related strengths, Ancient Law Demons were far superior to Modern Law Demons.

They had law endowment on them, essentially possessing powerful abilities within the world, even reaching a certain degree of immortality.

Although Modern Law Demons also possessed similar powers, they were more derived from physical attributes.

"Emperor Xuan had better succeed; I need to see if there's any reaction from the person behind the scenes to the emergence of an impossible-to-exist relic." Gu Shanhai was certain that anyone would be surprised if such an unexpected discovery emerged.

However, Gu Shanhai's idea was good, only it was the low success rate of Emperor Xuan. Even though he had broken through once before and was familiar with the process, the traces left from his previous failed breakthrough increased the difficulty of another attempt.

It's not that the difficulty increased, since the difficulty remained unchanged from the beginning; rather, the increased difficulty resulted from his own exhaustion—it's like he originally had a hundred points of attributes but now only has ninety-nine points.

This drastically reduced his success rate.

Originally, the success rate of breaking through to God Demon with Ancient Law was much lower than with Modern Law; now, facing added hardship, the difficulty naturally increased.

"It has begun."

Gu Shanhai sensed the change in the atmosphere within the Da Xuan Imperial Palace, although it was very subtle; fortunately, with the data from Emperor Xuan's last breakthrough, he easily discerned the result.

Gu Shanhai was actually not very clear on the entire process; last time, without experience, Emperor Xuan spent nearly a day and night, only to get stuck on the last step for more than an hour, which resulted in failure.

Now, it should be faster, taking only half the time to reach the last step of matching the laws.

"The carrier of the Three Strange Books indeed has the capacity to guide the laws, but to evoke this ability, one must master the 'Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Technique' to the utmost degree."

Indeed, after merging and practicing the Three Strange Books, it becomes known as the 'Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Technique'. Gu Shanhai was sure that the origin of the Three Strange Books should be from the period between changes in Modern Law and Ancient Law when some God Demons noticed anomalies in Modern Law. Therefore, using their own bones as the basis, they derived this 'Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Technique' as a lifeline.

However, if there were only the 'Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Technique' without the Three Strange Books, this cultivation technique would only direct towards the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, with at most some insights into breaking through to God Demon.

Only by matching it with the original carrier of the Three Strange Books can one obtain laws through it and successfully break through to God Demon.

Although this is said, the Three Strange Books and 'Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Technique' also do not have the ability to increase the success rate of becoming God Demon, so failures are inevitable.
