Chapter 1575: Chapter 400: The Saint Lord’s Awakening

As ti trickled by, the Upper Realm regained its tranquility, yet, beneath the surface, a tempest was always brewing.

Not long after Gu Chen sent his ssage, Princess Xidie was the first to arrive, accompanied by a large contingent of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, heeding Gu Chen’s call.

“Gu Chen!” Princess Xidie was overjoyed to see Gu Chen, throwing herself directly into his embrace.

The emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and nurous powerful figures watched this scene from behind in silent approval.

“I pay my respects to the lord of the royal court.” Gu Chen’s status was now extraordinary, being the lord of the greatest power in the Upper Realm, the Eternal Royal Court, so proper respect was required.

The emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty felt very sentintal deep down. He had not expected that a junior from the past would reach such heights today, filling him with admiration.

“I pay my respects to my senior.” At this mont, Gu Chen stepped forward with Princess Xidie in tow, offering a salute to the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

Although he was no longer the sa as before, the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had treated him well, and Princess Xidie had greatly aided him, so naturally, he would not be discourteous.

After the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was settled in, Gu Qingyan ca with the Frost Soul Sect in tow.

“My son!”

The uncle and aunt were incredibly thrilled to see Gu Chen. Although they seldom dealt with the affairs of the cultivation world, the deeds of Gu Chen were now known by everyone throughout the three thousand six hundred domains of the Upper Realm.

“Truly a child of the Gu Family, peerless both in the land of the Nine Provinces and the Upper Realm!” The uncle, Gu Chengfeng, ca up to Gu Chen, laughing heartily while patting his shoulder.

Tianyuan Taoist Ao Xuan and the other exceptional beings stood in the distance without approaching. Given Gu Chen’s status, even peerless individuals from the Primordial Realm had to maintain proper deanor with him. Patting Gu Chen’s shoulder was likely a privilege unique in all the heavens and earth.

In this mont, Gu Chen could clearly see the concern in his uncle and aunt’s eyes. If possible, Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge would wish for Gu Chen to live safely and quietly by their side in the Nine Provinces for life.

Gu Chen sighed softly. Sotis, wasn’t that what he wished for as well?

Afterwards, he regrouped his spirits, showed a warm smile on his face, and used his sky-reaching abilities to help his uncle and aunt purify their bodies, refining their bones and marrow.

“I pay my respects to the lord of the royal court.” At this ti, the sect master of the Frost Soul Sect, Mu Han, appeared and bowed deeply to Gu Chen.

“Please rise, Sect Master.” Gu Chen nodded slightly, exchanged a few words of warmth with his uncle and aunt, and then had Gu Qingyan take the two elders to the place that had been prepared for them.

The safety of Gu Chengfeng’s family was of utmost importance to Gu Chen.

anwhile, a guard ca to report: “Announcent, the clans from the Gray Domain—the Blood Orchid Clan, Tiankui Clan, and the Jiuying Clan—request an audience.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen slightly nodded: “Let them in.”

Soon after, in the vast hall, the Blood Orchid Clan, Tiankui Clan, and the Jiuying Clan made their presence known, with all three clan chiefs acting sowhat restrained as they paid their respects to Gu Chen.

It turned out that with the current upheaval in the Upper Realm, these behemoth forces were also privy to insider knowledge, and thus sought a safe haven.

The Blood Orchid Clan needed no further ntion; their Blood Jade had once aided Gu Chen, and he was naturally willing to receive them. As for the Tiankui Clan and Jiuying Clan, with whom he had grievances and gratitude, the two clan chiefs still earnestly beseeched Gu Chen for rcy for the sake of their clans’ survival.

But in fact, Gu Chen had long stopped concerning himself with those past trivialities, not to ntion, he hadn’t been at a disadvantage at the ti, having slain the young clan chief of the Jiuying Clan himself.

Moreover, consolidating the forces of the Upper Realm to face the epochal catastrophe was now of the utmost importance.

“Find a place for yourselves.” Gu Chen spoke, seated at the head of the hall, his presence like that of a Heavenly Emperor descended upon the world. Even with his aura concealed, an imnse authority and spirit radiated from him.

This great hall, built from various precious materials, was constructed by the Dean Situ Yin and others explicitly for Gu Chen. As the lord of the Eternal Royal Court, he had to display the status and dignity that ca with the position.

After allowing the Tiankui Clan and Jiuying Clan to depart, Gu Chen turned his attention to the Blood Orchid Clan. The mbers all had long red hair, but it was Blood Jade’s hair that was the most dazzling and striking, leaving a lasting impression with a re glance.

“Where is Blood Jade? Why is she not here?” Gu Chen inquired.

The woman with the blood-red hair had left a rather profound impression on Gu Chen.

Her valiant grace and decisiveness surpassed any woman Gu Chen had ever encountered.

The chief of the Blood Orchid Clan had the cultivation of the Primordial Realm and was Blood Jade’s father. On hearing Gu Chen’s words, his expression dimd, and he replied with a bow: “To inform the lord of the royal court, Blood Jade… she has fallen.”

“Fallen, how is that possible?” Gu Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. The atmosphere in the great hall suddenly beca solemn.

“It is true, I would not dare to deceive the lord of the royal court,” the Blood Orchid Clan chief hastily added.

He then recounted the details of the events that had transpired.

“So it is.” Gu Chen sighed softly.

Following the War of the Ten Thousand Tribes, Blood Jade went alone to a dangerous place in the Gray Domain, seeking an opportunity to grow stronger and catch up with Gu Chen. That departure, however, beca her last.

“My daughter… she admired the lord of the royal court for many years. Since our initial encounter in the Gray Domain, she always thought very highly of you. Her demise was her own choice. As a cultivator, such an end can only be called her fate,” said the chief of the Blood Orchid Clan, his eyes reddening.
