Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 1590: 409: Return to Kyushu

Chapter 1590: Chapter 409: Return to Kyushu

Sacred Sect Headquarters, within the Black Magic Mountain.

Hum!

Light and shadow flicker, a figure erges; it is none other than the Taoxu Road’s Master, who was thought to have perished!

This is truly astonishing; he has actually survived, reappeared in the mortal world, and returned to the Sacred Sect Headquarters.

At this mont, the Master’s face is solemn, silent, sitting there, lost in thought.

A long ti passes, followed by a deep, echoing sigh.

Just then, demonic energy surges within the great hall, forming a vortex, and a tall figure steps out from it, none other than the Sect Master.

“Failed?” A low and majestic voice echoes, filling the vast hall where once all nine Grand Elders gathered, now only Taoxu Road’s Master is left.

Such a splendid Sacred Sect, with nine Grand Elders, eighteen Holy Envoys, plus thirty-six Elders, could be called the premier power of the upper realms, yet now, it has nearly crumbled completely, approaching annihilation.

And all this, because of a junior once disregarded by them—Gu Chen!

He achieved this unprecedented, heaven-defying feat, almost eradicating the Sacred Sect.

“I have let you down,” said Taoxu Road’s Master expressionlessly.

“It seems that the Origin of All Realms is truly extraordinary, enabling a junior under a hundred years old to co this far,” the Sect Master mused to himself, his body surrounded by whirling demonic energy, obscuring his expression.

But Taoxu Road’s Master, who knew him well, understood that these words ant the Sect Master had indeed developed so real interest in Gu Chen.

“Are you going to take action personally?” he asked.

“Otherwise? I founded the magnificent Sacred Sect, which was supposed to dominate all realms. I never expected to face such setbacks, almost leading to our demise,” the Sect Master replied indifferently, with no trace of emotion in his voice.

“It is our incompetence,” sighed Taoxu Road’s Master.

“No matter, it’s not your fault; it is the extraordinary nature of the Origin of All Realms that has given this junior such capabilities.”

The Sect Master gave Taoxu Road’s Master a look and added: “Your External Body Secret Skill is sowhat clever.”

He nodded slightly, indicating his approval.

To receive praise from an existence nearly at the highest realm indicates that Taoxu Road’s Master had indeed surpassed others.

Initially, Gu Chen’s thod of rging dual bodies was a secret technique created by Taoxu Road’s Master. Now, he has perfected this technique, refining it beyond its original scope, which is why he survived.

What Gu Chen had slain was just one of his avatars.

“Did you foresee the possibility of failure before the battle started, so you left your true self here instead of going to the battlefield?” asked the Sect Master with interest.

Taoxu Road’s Master shook his head and said, “It was just a precautionary asure, a side move out of caution.”

The Sect Master lightly chuckled, “But it was precisely your caution that saved your life.”

“When will you co out of seclusion?” asked Taoxu Road’s Master, bringing up a critical question.

“Soon, it won’t be long. I will appear in the world again. I have been away far too long, long enough that the upper realms have almost forgotten my prestige,” the Sect Master spoke faintly.

Imdiately, the next mont, the demonic energy recedes, and he disappears completely from sight.

Taoxu Road’s Master remains silent; although the Sacred Sect nearly perished in this battle, as long as the core figure—the Sect Master—is still there, the Sacred Sect is unbreakable.

And when the Sect Master cos out of seclusion, everything will face retribution. No one can stop a true supre being at the highest realm.

The sa is true for Gu Chen.

Swish!

At that mont, out of the blue, a black beam of light erges, striking the forehead of Taoxu Road’s Master, causing his body to tremble.

“This… this is…” Taoxu Road’s Master’s pupils shrank, unexpectedly, despite the mission’s failure, the Sect Master still imparted to him the thod for an unusual ascension.

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Taoxu Road’s Master bows deeply, paying homage in the direction the Sect Master had left.

At the sa ti, he silently thought: “Gu Chen, this ti, the upper realms will crumble, can you still defend it?”

In the vast, deep universe, which should have been empty, sits a long, lean figure, resembling a supre true dragon.

With his breathing, the whole star domain pulses with him, stellar radiance sparkling, perating Gu Chen’s 108,000 pores.

“1,200,000 years of cultivation, late stage of the Path-Seeking Realm achieved,” Gu Chen opened his eyes, exhaling gently.

In an instant, the dim starry sky brightened, his breath seemingly transford into a divine sun, bringing endless light.

From the battle against the Infernal Emperor, Gu Chen gained a lot, along with a significant influx of Divine Power value, making this breakthrough not just significant, but a comprehensive enhancent!

The three gates of essence, energy, and spirit in his cultivation, stepped up another level, while the seven boundless divine powers broke through their limits, ascending to the fifth rank.

“Now, I wonder if I have entered the supre realm?” Gu Chen murmured.

Logically speaking, reaching the fifth rank of an unlimited Divine Power signifies touching the supre realm, and Gu Chen has achieved this with all seven powers, his combat strength can be described as terrifying beyond compare.

Searching through ancient and modern tis, none in the realm of questioning could possess such an unparalleled strength.

Despite this, Gu Chen still felt a sense of crisis pervading his heart, as he thought of the Saint Lord.

Once the opponent exits seclusion, it would signify an unconventional enlightennt, comparable to the supre of heavens, and it was uncertain whether Gu Chen could currently match him.

He never assud that by defeating a two-percent strength incarnation of the Underworld Demon Emperor, he could truly compare to the supre realm.

“But regardless, with my current strength, I should be able to put up a fight against the Saint Lord,” Gu Chen silently contemplated.

In reality, to him, the Saint Lord was rely a passerby, not the ultimate goal.

The true challenge Gu Chen has to face belongs to the epochal calamity; even the Demon Emperor is not his ultimate enemy.

“My ultimate enemy is the progenitor of the Underworld!” Gu Chen spoke to himself, always aware of this fact from the beginning.

Why did the Ice Emperor and his peers fail in the last great epoch? Was it not because of the existence of that Underworld progenitor? Despite not being fully awakened, he annihilated everyone including the Ice Emperor, which shows how terrifying he is!

This is the point that concerns Gu Chen most.

“I must ascend to the supre realm as soon as possible.” Gu Chen took a deep breath; he felt that only by reaching the supre realm would the origin of all worlds truly revive.

Although he didn’t know when the origin of all worlds entered his body, Gu Chen clearly understood how vital it is for the upper worlds.

Only with its complete Awakening can the way of the upper worlds be replenished, and then the supre realm could erge.

However, reaching the supre realm is not sothing that can be achieved montarily, and Gu Chen already had a plan in mind.

“What’s more important now is to strengthen my own combat power to deal with the awakening Saint Lord soon.”

Gu Chen pondered; although his strength had greatly advanced in the later stage of the questioning realm, multiplying several tis compared to before, having more aces is always beneficial.

“Perhaps, it’s ti to unleash the Jiuding!” Gu Chen’s eyes flickered, his expression resolute.

Currently, the two cosmic cauldrons, though extraordinary, are no longer as influential as before.

Only by uniting the nine cauldrons into one top-tier Taoist weapon can it help him like the celestial battle attire did.

“Given my current situation, if my real body crosses realms, it will inevitably cause a great disturbance, so this thod is not advisable,” Gu Chen considered.

In the end, after long contemplation, Gu Chen decided to divide a strand of his thoughts to the lower realm, head to Jiuzhou, and search for the Jiuding.

As soon as he thought about it, Gu Chen sat cross-legged in the vast cosmos, his forehead glowed, and a strand of Supre Solar Power as radiant as the sun divided from his Yuan spirit of Yang God level.

At the sa ti, Gu Chen acted, his palms turned into swords, and with a gentle swipe, the void in front of him was easily divided, revealing the hidden endless dinsions.

“Go,” Gu Chen murmured as the bright Yang God thought flickered and vanished into it.

Currently, Jiuzhou conceals itself within the vast cosmos, and if not for a lack of coordinates, even those in the questioning realm would find it difficult to locate.

After all, the universe is vast, boundless, and those in the questioning realm are not omnipotent.

Fortunately, Gu Chen’s body originated from Jiuzhou, and before leaving, he left the corresponding coordinates with the help of the cosmic cauldron.

Although it has been a long ti and the coordinates are sowhat blurred, he still sensed them very clearly.

Whoosh!

Gu Chen’s thoughts passed through the void, traveling an infinite distance, crossing the chaotic void streams that once greatly frightened him, now not even harming a strand of his thoughts.

“This is it.” Soon, Gu Chen’s eyes brightened as he found the corresponding Jiuzhou node.

Not wanting to cause too much commotion and draw the attention of Jiuzhou, he did not use excessively overpowering thods.

Although this world sealed itself, with Gu Chen’s mastery over creation, the barriers of this world could not halt him, and he easily invaded inside.

“It truly has been a long ti, Jiuzhou.” Gu Chen sighed lightly; nearly two decades had passed, and he had finally returned to this place, montarily feeling quite emotional.

After all, to a certain extent, this could also be considered his holand.

In Jiuzhou, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi couldn’t compare to the grand worlds of the upper realms, but after being sealed for so long, the concentration of spiritual energy had increased to a rather considerable level, comparable to so minor secret realms of the upper realms.

Of course, for a cultivator of Gu Chen’s level, just a slight inhalation could devastate this world’s spiritual energy, drawing it all into his body.

Of course, Gu Chen would not do that.

He looked around; as the concentration of spiritual energy in this world increased, the environnt of Jiuzhou had visibly improved significantly, far surpassing when Gu Chen left.

The place where he appeared was the famous forbidden area of Jiuzhou—The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, lush and dense with towering trees. Each mountain was majestic, appearing as if cast from dark gold, providing a significant visual impact.

Currently, the soul beasts here are very powerful, so even comparable to those at the Heavenly Human realm of martial immortals.

“When I first ca here, I was also deeply shocked and could hardly extricate myself,” Gu Chen murmured with a smile on his lips, recalling his past.

In reality, all this was not too distant; it had just been about two decades.

To other cultivators in the questioning realm of the upper worlds, this might not even count as the length of one seclusion, but for Gu Chen, he had experienced too much during these years, incomparable to any other powerful being.

A brief twenty years, yet it encapsulated the lifetis of other powerful beings, not just a hundred or a thousand years, nor ten thousand, but a hundred thousand or even millions of years!

It shows how much Gu Chen has experienced, overcoming countless bitter and bloody battles to reach where he is today.

“Returning to my holand, I seem to have beco a bit lancholy,” laughed Gu Chen softly, shaking his head and clearing the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

“I wonder how Jiuzhou is doing now? After so many years apart, Ji Yuan, Tower Supervisor, Commander Wei, Lord Luo, I wonder how you all are?” Gu Chen mused to himself, thinking of his many old friends in Jiuzhou.

He wondered whether he should go and see them!
