Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 778 551: The Secret of the Celestial Realm1

Crane Cloud Mountain, with its picturesque scenery, dense pine and cypress trees, fresh vegetation, and unparalleled lush greenery, also had mountain springs flowing through, creating an environnt both remote and tranquil.

At this mont, within the Summit Taoist Temple of Crane Cloud Mountain, Gu Chen, alone, was confronting a prodigy from the higher realm from among the Three Sects.

Upon hearing Sun Yin's words, his brow imdiately furrowed.

Gu Chen indeed did not know, aside from the environntal factors of heaven and earth, what other conditions were necessary to achieve the Celestial Being realm.

Seeing this, Sun Yin, the direct disciple of the Five Elents Sect, smiled lightly and said, "See, this is the difference between you and . If you were born in the higher realm, you wouldn't have been so clueless."

Without waiting for Gu Chen to speak, he continued, "The reason it's impossible to achieve the Celestial Being realm in the Nine States is not only due to the external environnt of the vast heavens and earth but also because there are no corresponding cultivation thods to support it."

"Cultivation thods?" Gu Chen, upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows sharply.

ng Zhanghai of the Wanfu Xuanzong Sect, with an emotionless face, said, "The Celestial Being realm is the pinnacle of martial arts. Even the top-notch internal cultivation techniques cannot support a martial artist to break through to the Celestial Being realm. It's the change of the heavenly and earthly environnt and the lack of support from cultivation thods that have prevented martial artists from the Nine States from reaching the Celestial Being realm for tens of thousands of years."

"So you think that with the rubbish martial arts of the Nine States, you can achieve the Celestial Being realm?" Luo Shengming of the Red Cloud Sect sneered, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"I see." Gu Chen had a mont of clarity. It was his first ti learning that such conditions were required to achieve the Celestial Being realm, that even the utmost martial arts were insufficient to support a break through to the pinnacle of martial arts.

"Now, you should understand that what you wish for is impossible, because you simply cannot obtain such a legacy that exceeds the best martial arts. Have the Wuji Dao Sect, Cloud Heaven Palace, or the Suru Buddha Sect inford you of this?"

With a faint smile, Sun Yin of the Five Elents Sect spoke, "Compared to the higher realms, the Nine States are indeed too barren. It's even a complint to call it a wild land. There are only so many top-notch martial arts over here, but in the higher realm, such caliber of martial techniques and cultivations are countless!"

At this remark, Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat. Countless utmost martial arts? That was sowhat too exaggerated. This alone was enough to show the gap between the higher realm and the Nine States.

Seeing Gu Chen's astonished look, Sun Yin shook his head slightly and said, "Your vision is too narrow. Above the utmost martial arts, there are countless tis more powerful and exquisite techniques in the higher realm, which can be said to be readily available. If you are outstanding enough, you even have the chance to co into contact with divine powers. Those are truly the supre paths, supre over all, bringing endless benefits."

At this mont, Sun Yin's mouth curled into a smile as he spoke confidently, and the sense of superiority was evident in the mix of his lecturing and temptation directed at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, in turn, learned so information about the higher realm from the other party, of which the most important to him was undoubtedly the secret to breaking through to the Celestial Being realm and achieving the pinnacle of martial arts.

Seeing Gu Chen listening intently, Sun Yin was even more satisfied and finally said, "I've already said, put away your hostility. We co with good intentions. If you are willing to help us find the legacy, then I can give you a top-notch cultivation thod right here and now. How about it?"

Gu Chen, tall and strong with an athlete's physique, black hair flowing, stood tall and elegant. Upon hearing this, he remained calm and unswayed and uttered just three words, "How about not."

Upon these words, the expressions of ng Zhanghai of the Wanfu Xuanzong Sect, Luo Shengming of the Red Cloud Sect, and Sun Yin of the Five Elents Sect imdiately darkened.

Especially Sun Yin, he had said so much to Gu Chen, trying to entice him by describing the power of the higher realm, to the point where his mouth was getting dry. He did not expect that his efforts would be t with Gu Chen's refusal.

This made him look displeased, and his mood turned extrely gloomy, with his back teeth grinding noisily.

"Do you know the legend of Crane Cloud Mountain?" Sun Yin's face turned ashen.

Gu Chen understood that the other party was implying a threat, referencing the ultimate fate of that Celestial Being realm martial artist from ancient tis who had offended the holy land.

As expected, in the next mont, Sun Yin said coldly, "Even the pinnacle of martial art, the Celestial Being realm, ended in failure against the holy lands. Do you really think you're stronger than a Celestial Being?!"

"So, if you can't entice , you've switched to threats?" Gu Chen spoke indifferently, his deanor utterly composed.

Sun Yin and the others could see that Gu Chen was just toying with them, extracting information about the higher realm from them, which made the three of them resentful.

"I've said it before, the quickest way is to simply kill him!" Luo Shengming of the Red Cloud Sect said in a sinister voice.

"You really think you're invincible in the lower realm?" ng Zhanghai's gaze was cold as he slowly said, "In a world without tigers, even monkeys can claim to be king. But rember, there's always a higher mountain. In front of a true Azure Dragon, you're nothing at all!"

"A fair point," Gu Chen nodded and said, "In front of an Azure Dragon, indeed you're all but ants."

"You're courting death!" Luo Shengming of the Red Cloud Sect's face turned frightfully cold as he said, "You've successfully wasted your last chance to live. Not just you, but your family and everyone acquainted with you shall die!"

At those words, Gu Chen's expression instantly turned icy, and a bone-chilling killing intent erupted, causing a wild wind to whip up in the area.

"One day, I will personally go to the higher realm and uproot you and the forces behind you, completely and utterly!" Gu Chen's eyes were fierce, and his aura surged violently.

"How reckless!"

As Gu Chen spoke, ng Zhanghai and Luo Shengming had yet to respond, but others from the two great powers could hardly sit still, glaring at Gu Chen with anger in their eyes.

"Just a re native of the lower realm, and you dare to make such wild statents. Not afraid the wind will catch your tongue?" They mocked him in such terms.

"Enough talk, let send him on his way," Luo Shengming of the Red Cloud Sect called out, "Red Clouds Big Handprint!"

With a humming sound, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi of the area boiled, converging together to form a massive handprint, resembling a fiery cloud. As soon as it appeared, it flipped the small Taoist temple upside down, and the overwhelming aura almost shattered heaven and earth.

At this mont, ng Zhanghai stood up, looking at Gu Chen with a grave tone, "To the holy lands, Celestial Beings have been killed, and their sects have been eradicated. Do you think they'll make an exception for you?!"

Boom!

Then, as Luo Shengming activated the Red Clouds Big Handprint and aid it right at Gu Chen's head, it ca crashing down like a small mountain, the pressure imnse and sowhat terrifying!

With just this one strike, the surrounding nature shattered, and even the void began to show fine cracks that spread outwards.

```

Luo Shengming, the strongest descendant of the present generation of the Red Cloud Sect, although he was not a Holy Son and hadn't reached the Heavenly Man Realm, he still possessed the complete Martial Realm of the Divine Intent Realm. His strength was quite prominent, and he held considerable renown in the Higher Realms.

"Today, blood is destined to be spilled here!" Gu Chen remained unmoved, his expression cold, eyes icy, his body exuding a killing aura that enveloped the wilds.

Ao!

At this mont, a high-pitched dragon's cry echoed from all around as Gu Chen threw a punch, and a golden dragon imdiately took form from his palm and fingers, then charged straight out.

It was none other than the accomplished martial skill—Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist!

The golden dragon appeared lifelike, so real that it seed like a divine dragon from the heavens had descended to earth, not at all like sothing condensed from Heavenly Earth Essence Qi. It contained a fierce punch intent that was indomitable and capable of obliterating everything!

With a bang, the golden dragon extended its claws, shattering Luo Shengming's Red Clouds Big Handprint and, with undiminished montum, charged towards him.

Seeing this scene, ng Zhanghai, Sun Yin, and Luo Shengming narrowed their eyes slightly. They were also familiar with Gu Chen and knew of his strength, so they were not too surprised by the current scene.

"Hmph!"

Luo Shengming snorted coldly as flas blazed all over his body, reaching incredibly high temperatures. The flas gathered towards his palms and were violently chopped down.

"Blazing Fla Hand!"

Accompanied by Luo Shengming's shout, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi within a hundred zhang all around was absorbed and transford into a fla handprint dozens of zhang in size, remarkably solid. The roaring flas even ignited the sky, pressing down on Gu Chen with an incomparable montum.

In response to this attack, Gu Chen continued to use his accomplished martial skill—Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist!

As the saying goes, "One unique move can conquer all under heaven." Although Gu Chen had mastered multiple martial skills, relying on just this one move, he still posed great difficulty to Luo Shengming, the most outstanding current generation descendant of the Red Cloud Sect.

Unsurprisingly, the golden dragon once again resolved the so-called Blazing Fla Hand and, along with the previous golden dragon, charged at a deeply frowning Luo Shengming.

"Roar!"

At that mont, Luo Shengming let out a roar towards the sky, and instantly, the color of heaven and earth changed, and storm clouds erged. An extrely powerful martial intent burst forth from his body, and the surrounding world seed to shatter like a mirror, full of dense cracks.

The two golden dragons, in the face of Luo Shengming's martial intent, also instantly disintegrated, turning into specks of golden light that faded away into the world.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, he charged straight towards Gu Chen's location like a javelin.

"Physical combat, I will tear you apart!" Luo Shengming roared as he approached rapidly, his clothes fluttering. Empowered by divine intent, each of his moves was imbued with imnse power. Executing a unique skill of the Red Cloud Sect, he engaged in a clash with Gu Chen.

Boom Boom Boom!

For a ti, as the two exchanged blows, the earth shook and the sky trembled. Crane Cloud Mountain, standing over nine hundred zhang tall, seed to tremble with countless rocks cascading down, a sight sowhat terrifying.

On the other side, ng Zhanghai of Wan Symbol Xuan Sect and Sun Yin of Five Elents Sect looked on with extrely solemn expressions.

They knew that Gu Chen's journey through the Nine States to this point was remarkable, but they had not expected his combat power to reach such a level.

Although Red Cloud Sect wasn't a Holy Land, it was still a prominent Da Sect in the Higher Realms, famous in its own right with countless geniuses within. Luo Shengming stood out among them to beco the strongest current generation descendant, naturally possessing corresponding strength.

Yet, who would have thought, Luo Shengming, the strongest descendant of the Da Sect, would be outmatched by Gu Chen who grew up in the lower realms of Da Xia.

This was truly a surprise to everyone.

Especially for those few disciples of the Red Cloud Sect, who were already stupefied, unable to believe that Gu Chen could fight their senior brother Luo Shengming to this extent.

"Just having broken through to the Divine Intent Realm not long ago, his combat strength could actually reach this level?" ng Zhanghai of Wan Symbol Xuan Sect said in a deep voice.

Such astonishing combat power was enough to show that Gu Chen's foundation, his martial arts heritage, and all aspects were exceptionally outstanding, otherwise, it would have been impossible.

"Such potential, it's almost comparable to that of Holy Sons!" Watching the battle between Gu Chen and Luo Shengming, ng Zhanghai felt sowhat dismayed.

"This Gu Chen of Da Xia is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the Holy Sons treat him differently and want to take him under their command," Sun Yin of Five Elents Sect also said to himself.

However, although Gu Chen's performance was remarkable, they were not worried because they believed that with the three of them joining forces, they could take down Gu Chen.

After all, even in the Higher Realms, though they were not of the highest standing, they were sufficient to lead their respective sects. If three of them combined couldn't take down soone from the lower realms, the trio felt it would be better to just die.

"Pu!"

At that mont, a fierce and powerful punch from Gu Chen directly breached Luo Shengming's defense, causing him to spit blood, his body flying out like a burst sack.

"Brother Luo!" Several disciples of the Red Cloud Sect shouted, their faces anxious.

Seeing this, ng Zhanghai and Sun Yin also furrowed their brows, with the forr imdiately bursting forth in a flash, charging out.

"Vajra Talisman!"
