Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 765 541 Gu Chen and Chu Yue Ling2

Gu Chen's divine consciousness transmitted outward, and after a mont of glimring azure light, the jade-like bone fragnt in his hand turned ordinary again, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

At this mont, Gu Chen was curiously fiddling with it, while also waiting for a reply from Chu Yue Ling.

But after waiting for quite so ti, almost half an hour, the jade piece remained unlit, causing so confusion for Gu Chen.

"Could it be that the distance is too far, so it can't receive the signal?"

Just then, Gu Chen's expression shifted, his gaze focused, piercing through the walls of the secret chamber and the inner city in an instant, looking out towards the outside of Tiandu.

There, a figure in white attire, purer than snow, with an elegant and transcendent air, a slender figure, and long black hair flowing like a waterfall, approached like the Fairy of the Moon, holy and detached.

"She's arrived quickly."

As Gu Chen silently pondered, he also vanished in a flash from the secret chamber of the Jing Tian Departnt headquarters to the outskirts of the city.

Nowadays, with Gu Chen being crowned king and soon after appointed as the grand commander of the Jing Tian Departnt and the head of the Mingjing Departnt, his veneration in Tiandu reached its zenith. Should he show himself, his presence would cause an uproar among the citizens, much like the idols and stars of his previous life appearing on the streets.

Therefore, Gu Chen employed an illusion technique to obscure himself, such that even standing at the gates of Tiandu, no one could detect him.

"Miss Chu." Soon enough, that elongated celestial silhouette clad in white arrived at the gates of Tiandu and t with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen greeted her with a slight smile, recognizing that like him, Chu Yue Ling had employed an illusion to hide from others' sight.

"Please!" Gu Chen gestured with an inviting hand and led Chu Yue Ling into Tiandu, where they found a tavern and entered a private room.

"Has Brother Gu finally co to a decision?" asked Chu Yue Ling, her voice ethereal and lodious, echoing like the whispering brook in a quiet valley. She still wore the moon-white veil covering her exquisite visage as she did in their previous eting.

Gu Chen's physique was like jade, his hair as dark as ink; his entire being exuded a lively spirit and handso charm. Upon hearing her words, he gave a gentle nod and said, "Before that, I have a question for Miss Chu."

Only Chu Yue Ling's eyes were visible, clear and limpid like a spring, and despite being only a part exposed, their beauty was still bewildering, stirring the heart and captivating one's soul.

"I also have a question I wish to ask Brother Gu," she replied.

"Miss Chu, please speak freely," said Gu Chen, his divine light restrained, his eyes shimring brightly, and his long hair cascading to his waist, exuding an air of extraordinariness.

"Very well," responded Chu Yue Ling promptly. She slightly raised her chin, looked towards Gu Chen, and asked, "Brother Gu, would you be willing to join Taoxu Road?"

"Hmm?" At these words, Gu Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, as he had not anticipated such an invitation from Chu Yue Ling to join Taoxu Road.

Taoxu Road, as Yuan Feng of the Infinite Tao Sect had put it, was an imnse and boundless power renowned throughout the upper realms, boasting living legends as its protectors. If it took action, even the most powerful sacred lands could be extinguished, and the entire upper realm might be shaken.

Such a formidable force was one that countless people in the upper realms would strongly desire to join, and as a holy maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling held a majestic position and was indeed qualified to invite Gu Chen.

"During our last eting, I wanted to say that Brother Gu has exceptional talent, and you carry a familiar aura which I believe without a doubt cos from the martial arts of Taoxu Road," said Chu Yue Ling softly.

"I see," replied Gu Chen, suddenly understanding. The so-called martial arts of Taoxu Road must be the "Taoxu Transforming Dragon Scripture" he had practiced before, a martial skill that was only a remnant piece yet ranked as an Earth Grade. When mastered, it had increased Gu Chen's combat power by fifteen percent, proving to be truly remarkable.

"That's a martial skill from my Taoxu Road that was lost outside, and it's only an incomplete fragnt, less than one-tenth of the whole. Yet Brother Gu managed to cultivate it to such an extent, which is truly impressive. This also speaks of your talent," said Chu Yue Ling, her hair cascading like a waterfall, her skin aglow with a lustrous sheen, immaculate and holy, truly like a fairy, instilling a sense of inferiority in others.

Any beautiful thing paled in comparison to her, and there was nothing in the world that could rival her beauty.

One could even say that comparing anything to her was a blasphemy.

Her beauty was breathtaking, transcending the ordinary world, untainted by even a speck of dust. Such a woman by nature was ant to dwell high above in the heavens.

Seeing that Gu Chen remained silent, Chu Yue Ling, who was fair-skinned with a jade-like bone structure and exuded a light fragrance, spoke softly, "Brother Gu, it's destined that the Nine Provinces will perish. With your exceptional talent, you would be rare even in the upper realms. It would truly be a pity if you were to perish with the Nine Provinces."

At this mont, if other upper realm prodigies could see this, they would be utterly shocked. Chu Yue Ling, being the holy maiden of Taoxu Road, had always been aloof and spoke sparingly regardless of whom she faced. It was seldom to hear her divulge as much as she did on this day.

If this scene were to spread throughout the upper realms, without need for anything else, Gu Chen's na would beco renowned far and wide.

Of course, Chu Yue Ling had her reasons for acting this way. Gu Chen's talent was a major factor, and it wasn't out of what one might call romantic interest.

Gu Chen understood this too. He didn't think for a mont that Chu Yue Ling would take an interest in him. A woman like her was naturally untouchable by the mundane world.

"Who says the Nine Provinces are destined to perish? I think not," said Gu Chen with a light smile, lifting his cup for a sip of the fragrant tea. His seemingly nonchalant words, however, contained imnse self-confidence.

Chu Yue Ling remained calm, her eyes clear and undisturbed as she said, "Brother Gu, I do not wish to dampen your spirit, but I have witnessed this many tis. When worlds fall to ruin, countless living beings die miserably, and many distinguished individuals attempt to reverse this fate, only to fail in the end. To resist the demons and save the Nine Provinces is very difficult, even impossible."

At her words, Gu Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He wasn't displeased with what Chu Yue Ling said but rather keenly aware of the information her words revealed.

"Brother Gu, if you would agree to join Taoxu Road, I could make arrangents for your family and so of your friends to be taken to the upper realms. I assure you that they would not encounter any harm on their journey and arrive safely at the upper realms. How about that?"

Chu Yue Ling, pure as any celestial being in her white attire, gazed at Gu Chen with crystalline eyes that glead like gems, a vision of icy purity, saying, "The imminent destruction of the Nine Provinces is near, but with your talents, Brother Gu, if you were to go to the vast and boundless upper realms, your future would be promising, surely soaring directly upward for ninety thousand li."

Seeing that Gu Chen remained unmoved, Chu Yue Ling's gaze subtly shifted as she softly asked again, "Brother Gu, do you know what truly is the Nine Provinces, and why did the ancient era vanish?"

"Hmm?" At this, Gu Chen was startled, his attention fully captured by her words.

"I know, Brother Gu, that you possess a thod for divining the will of heaven, but you must understand, even the towering figures of the upper realms believe that the Nine Provinces will certainly fall to ruin. Do you truly think that what you've foreseen will co to pass?"

Chu Yue Ling's transcendent presence was undisturbed, her lips parting to add, "Allow to reveal to you, Brother Gu, the true nature of the Nine Provinces."
