Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 1373 - 1373 289 Breakthrough Imminent

1373: Chapter 289: Breakthrough Imminent 1373: Chapter 289: Breakthrough Imminent Sword King City, after enduring a great battle, had nearly half of it turned into ruins.

As for the Sword Monarch Palace, the situation was even worse, apart from a few important locations like the Treasure Vault and the Scripture Pavilion that remained intact, the rest were largely destroyed.

At that mont, Gu Chen and the others opened the deepest part of the Treasure Vault, which was filled with fragrant scents and dazzling splendor, holding various heavenly and earthly treasures as well as weapons.

“Sword Monarch Palace indeed has demigod dicine!” Upon seeing a shiny golden fruit, Gu Chen was overjoyed.

Divine dicine was rare in the world, scarce throughout the lands.

Until now, the only divine dicine Gu Chen knew of was seen in the True Dragon’s Nest, but he couldn’t capture it.

After all, divine dicine was sentient and not to ntion, it was left by the Dragon Lord for the unborn True Dragon, so it was normal for Gu Chen not to possess it.

Besides, he suspected that other Celestial Spirit Nests, unexpectedly, might also contain divine dicine, just like the True Dragon’s Nest.

Although demigod dicine was far inferior to divine dicine, it still surpassed the level of saintly dicine and was imnsely useful for Gu Chen’s breakthrough into the Heavenly Realm.

Instantly, everything in the treasure vault of the Sword Monarch Palace was gathered up.

As for the Scripture Pavilion, Gu Chen also took a look; now that his Heavenly Immortal Sword Skill had reached the fourth rank, once it reached the first rank, it could be deduced and rged with other divine skills, so Gu Chen was also preparing in advance.

Soon, after plundering everything, Gu Chen and the people from Qingyun Palace left the place, leaving behind Sword King City, which was almost turned into ruins.

And the news here would spread throughout the core realms of the Holy World at an extrely fast speed.

Soon, a major earthquake would strike!

…

Shortly after, via the teleportation array, it didn’t take long for Gu Chen and the others to return to Qingyun Palace.

“Fortunately, you all held back during the great battle and didn’t destroy the teleportation array, otherwise it wouldn’t be easy to return,” Ren Fei sighed with relief.

The great battle was victorious, and the heavy stone in Ren Fei’s heart also fell to the ground.

After returning to Qingyun Palace, upon seeing Gu Qingyan and the others, they were relieved to find Gu Chen unhard.

Then, Gu Chen found the three leaders of Qingyun Palace to plan the distribution of the spoils of war.

However, just then, Master Qin waved his hand and said, “First see what you need, whatever you don’t need, just hand it over to Qingyun Palace.”

“This…” When these words were spoken, Gu Chen imdiately frowned slightly.

The implication was clear, and Gu Chen hadn’t expected the three leaders of Qingyun Palace to make such a decision.

Gu Chen shook his head and said, “This battle, had it not been for the three seniors and the strong support of everyone from Qingyun Palace, it would not have been possible at all, it shouldn’t be just who benefits alone, I would feel guilty.”

In fact, without the people of Qingyun Palace, Gu Chen alone definitely couldn’t have defeated the Sword Monarch Palace.

Hearing this, the three masters smiled faintly, they looked at each other and Master Mu spoke, “You need not decline, although we did take action this ti, your role was the greatest, and this idea and plan were proposed by you, so it is proper that you take the benefits, neither the three of us nor the others from Qingyun Palace will have any objections, so please don’t be too modest.”

“This…” Gu Chen frowned, he wasn’t a pretentious person, but he also distinguished right from wrong clearly.

In the end, after a stalemate, the demigod dicine belonged to Gu Chen and Qingyun Palace didn’t take it, as for the rest, Gu Chen chose to split it equally.

“Alright then!” Seeing that Gu Chen insisted, the three leaders of Qingyun Palace nodded in agreent.

At the sa ti, through this incident, they also recognized that Gu Chen was indeed a person of great loyalty and righteousness.

“It’s truly fortunate for Azure Cloud Sky to have an inheritor like you,” the three Masters of Qin felt emotional.

After the spoils were distributed, Gu Chen thought for a mont and asked, “Do the three seniors know where in this core realm of the Holy World might most likely have divine dicine?”

“Divine dicine?” Hearing this, the three Masters of Qin were also slightly startled and said, “Are you thinking of?”

Gu Chen was straightforward, having gained enough trust in Qingyun Palace through this incident, he said, “I need it to break through to the Heavenly Realm.”

“Using divine dicine to break through the Heavenly Realm?!” Upon hearing this, the three masters were imdiately shocked.

According to the records, even when the Supre Lord of Azure Cloud Sky was young, he probably didn’t need divine dicine to break through to the Heavenly Realm!

Gu Chen didn’t respond, his situation was different from everyone else’s.

Because he aid for the true completion of his essence, spirit, and vitality to break through to the Heavenly Realm.

At that point, with the nine transformations of the physical body, 35,000 years of cultivation, and a 9.9-feet tall primordial spirit, breaking through to the Heavenly Realm would naturally be extrely difficult with such a foundation.

Without the aid of divine dicine, it might really not be possible.

Moreover, Gu Chen felt that just having divine dicine might not be enough.

For this matter, Gu Chen had also pondered for a long ti, as for him, a breakthrough was imminent and preparations needed to be made in advance.

Although surprised, the three Masters of Qin, upon thinking of Gu Chen slaying beings from the Heavenly Realm while still in the Earth Realm, also understood his idea a bit.

“Divine dicine is rare, within the Holy World, I truly don’t know of any certain place where it exists, don’t even consider Celestial Spirit Nests, because it’s simply unattainable,” Master Gong spoke.

Then, Master Qin said, “Speaking of divine dicine, I actually do know of a place.”

“You an…” With these words, Master Mu and Master Gong imdiately exchanged looks with him.

Master Qin nodded and said, “Yes, it’s the place known as the Celestial Garden.

If there’s divine dicine anywhere, it must be there without a doubt.”

“But that place is enveloped by a grand array all year round.

It’s extrely dangerous and even if there is divine dicine, it might not be so easy to capture,” Master Mu furrowed his brow.

“Celestial Garden?

What place is that?” Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Master Qin glanced at him and said, “It’s a mystical place in the Sacred Realm, filled with dangers and various grand arrays.

Even if one possesses a Breaking Array Talisman, there’s no guarantee of passage.

It was left behind by a supre being of the heavens a countless eons ago.”

“The supre being’s garden of dicine?” Gu Chen’s expression shook upon hearing this, and he beca interested,

“Yes, but it’s fraught with dangers.

Every so often, people in the Sacred Realm attempt to reach it, but they end up gaining nothing and lose themselves in the process,” Master Gong said solemnly.

The three of them explicitly advised Gu Chen to consider carefully—better not to take the risk if it could be avoided.

At the sa ti, Master Qin spoke up and revealed startling news, “If you’re looking to breakthrough, I know of a place that might suffice, but it will take so ti to open.”

Master Mu and Master Gong nodded as well, clearly, they had discussed this before.

“Thank you, seniors, for your advice.

However, I would still like to explore the Celestial Garden,” Gu Chen said, bowing as a gesture of thanks.

Not wanting to miss any opportunity, and relying on the safety guaranteed by the celestial cauldron, even if he couldn’t overpower the obstacles, Gu Chen felt confident in his survival.

“If that’s the case…” Master Qin considered for a mont, took out a talisman that shimred with a clear light, and handed it to Gu Chen.

“Is this… a Breaking Array Talisman?!” Gu Chen was startled, surprised that Master Qin would give him such a precious item.

“The dangers of the Celestial Garden are extraordinary.

I know you possess so extraordinary Pupil Skills, but they won’t suffice there.

However, with this talisman added, it should be enough to keep you safe,” Master Qin said.

“Just take it, otherwise we wouldn’t feel reassured about your safety,” Master Mu and Master Gong also spoke in turn.

“Alright then!” Ultimately, Gu Chen nodded and took the Breaking Array Talisman from Master Qin’s hand.

The three of them were very kind to him, truly treating him as an heir of the Azure Cloud Sky.

Gu Chen committed everything that Master Qin and the others had done to mory.

Afterward, Gu Chen found Long Yi, Gu Qingyan and others, informing them that he had to leave for a while.

The Celestial Garden was exceedingly dangerous, Gu Chen himself wasn’t sure about it, let alone bringing soone else along.

Thus, this ti, he planned to go alone, which would also be more convenient.

“Alright then, Young Master, we’ll wait for you at Qingyun Palace.

Be very careful!” Long Yi said.

Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie also looked worriedly at Gu Chen but didn’t say much.

“Brother Gu, we’ll strive to break through to the Heavenly Realm and wait for your return!” Yun Zishu and Zhen Yuan also said solemnly.

“Good, when I return, we will reunite,” Gu Chen nodded.

After spending a night at Qingyun Palace, he confird the exact location with Master Qin and the others the next morning, and then he set off directly.

“Celestial Garden is located 500,000 miles away from Fengyuan City,” Gu Chen murmured to himself.

According to the route given by Master Qin and the others, he used the transmission array of Fengyuan City and left the area.

The Sacred Realm was indeed vast.

Excluding the outer regions, just this core area alone was enormous, no wonder it beca the center of myriad realms countless eras ago.

In the very core of the Sacred Realm, one could distinctly feel the essence of myriad realms and the mysteries of the universe’s operation.

It is for this reason that when the origin of the Sacred Realm was opened this ti, geniuses from myriad eras gathered, eager to witness such a spectacle, which was greatly beneficial for their cultivation.

Not to ntion, with supre beings working together, it’s very likely that the greatest fortune in history might be contained within the source of the Sacred Realm.

This was sothing truly worth looking forward to.

The journey of 500,000 miles indeed took so ti for Gu Chen to complete.

The Celestial Garden, called a garden but since it was established by a supre being, was naturally not much different from a small world, and was imnsely vast.

When he was still a few hundred miles away, Gu Chen could already see the vibrant lights and ribbons fluttering in the void ahead.

That was the Celestial Garden, seemingly beautiful, but actually fraught with endless dangers, after all, it was a supre being’s garden of dicine.

Many in the Sacred Realm knew there was a fair chance of finding divine dicine inside, but few dared to venture there, a truth learned at the cost of many lives.

“Celestial Garden, two billion eight hundred thousand miles long from east to west, and one billion three hundred thousand miles long from north to south, enveloped by formations year-round with layers of mist containing deadly poison on the periphery, making it impossible for those below the Heavenly Realm to even approach,” Gu Chen recalled the intelligence given by Master Qin and the others.

In fact, the vibrant lights and ribbons he saw from afar were the so-called poisonous mists.

Typically, cultivators at the Combined Realm could withstand it until they were eight hundred miles away; any closer and they risked perishing.

Fortunately, with his robust physique, as he approached, even upon arriving close by, he remained unscathed.

“Truly extraordinary,” Gu Chen stood at the entrance of the Celestial Garden, and through his Heavenly Eye, he saw various formations inside, none weaker than those in the celestial burrows.

Indeed, the deeper one went, the stronger the formations beca, and eventually, even the Breaking Array Talisman would lose its effect.

“As for the so-called mists, they have limited effect on ,” Gu Chen felt it for a mont.

Of course, the poisonous mists were just one of the least significant challenges in the Celestial Garden.

The next mont, Gu Chen stepped forward and entered the Celestial Garden, in search of divine dicine to prepare for his future breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm!
