Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 845 593: The King's Return

The land beyond the sky was desolate and dark, icy cold and vast, infinitely wide with nothing in sight, except for occasional fragnts of asteroids floating in the void.

Certainly, there were various luminous celestial bodies here, but they were not accessible by human efforts, as for planets with life, or even continents, they were rarely seen even after endless searching.

Even for martial artists who had reached the pinnacle of the Human Immortal realm in martial dao, becoming so-called warriors of celestial rank, it was difficult to survive for long in the lands beyond the sky.

Because there were various negative energies detrintal to the human body, and without any Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi for replenishnt, over ti, martial artists simply could not endure.

Once in contact with various types of radiation and negative energies, even warriors of celestial rank would inevitably et an untily death.

At this mont, due to a small dinsional rift exploding, it caused a surge of chaotic void currents, sweeping across the land beyond the sky.

Within that terrifying maelstrom of chaotic void currents, a three-legged, two-eared bronze cauldron bobbed, moving with unwavering determination towards a predetermined direction.

"I can sense it, we should be arriving soon," said Gu Chen, who sat cross-legged within the cauldron, opening his eyes and peering through the cauldron into the world beyond.

Fortunately, he had obtained the celestial cauldron; otherwise, even if he had cleared that spatial rift, it would have been difficult to completely destroy it.

Even if he destroyed it, it would be hard for him to return alive to the Nine Provinces, either being twisted apart by the chaotic void currents or lost in the lands beyond the sky.

And without that small dinsional rift, the coordinates disappeared, and the demons could no longer continue to locate the Nine Provinces and invade again.

It could be said that the great calamity of the Nine Provinces had thus co to an end.

"It's a good thing I relied on the celestial cauldron in advance to lock onto the spatial coordinates of the Nine Provinces. With that, using the celestial cauldron and the chaotic void currents, I will return in a very short ti," Gu Chen's eyes were filled with strong anticipation.

Two years, he had been away from the Nine Provinces for a full two years, and Uncle Gu Chengfeng and the others must have been extrely worried.

"Thankfully, it hasn't exceeded the ti fra I gave them," Gu Chen exhaled softly.

And so, accompanied by the chaotic void currents, the celestial cauldron traveled through the lands beyond the sky, with Gu Chen not encountering any signs of life along the way.

Finally, after an unknown duration, he saw a glowing object, which was his holand for this lifeti—the Nine Provinces!

In that mont, upon sensing the familiar atmosphere of heaven and earth, Gu Chen, filled with imnse excitent, steered the celestial cauldron out of the chaotic void currents and entered the Nine Provinces.

"Hmm?"

In the process, Gu Chen encountered a massive resistance, far greater than when he left the Nine Provinces two years ago, but fortunately, the celestial cauldron was extraordinary, and he, being a native creature of this world, ultimately succeeded.

"I'm back!" Feeling the familiar aura replacing the coldness and dead silence, Gu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Only now that he had returned to the Nine Provinces, did he feel like a living person, or more like soone who had co back to life.

Two years without any human contact or communication, with nothing but endless killing, no matter how resolute Gu Chen's ntality, he was bound to tire of it.

Fortunately, in the end, he had persevered and succeeded!

Having spent too long amidst demons and evil spirits, Gu Chen himself had lost all signs of vitality. Now back in the Nine Provinces, his sharp eyes gradually softened, and so did the lines of his facial features.

The murderous aura accumulated from countless killings was even more securely locked away in the depths of his heart.

"Uncle, Aunt, Qinyan!"

Gu Chen's eyes blazed with fervor; upon returning to the Nine Provinces, he put away the celestial cauldron without a second thought and rushed to Shen Zhou's Tiandu.

Whoosh!

Gu Chen's speed was extrely fast, like traveling through the void. He appeared in East Province but took only little ti to arrive at Shen Zhou and returned to Tiandu.

Gu Chen didn't et with anyone. Carrying his excitent, he went straight back to his own ho, the Warrior King's Mansion.

"Hmm?!" However, upon returning to the Warrior King's Mansion, Gu Chen's expression changed, sensing sothing amiss.

The enormous Warrior King's Mansion was utterly empty of people?!

Previously, because he was too excited, Gu Chen hadn't probed his surroundings, only realizing this after his arrival.

"Where is everyone, Uncle, Aunt, and Qinyan?" Gu Chen beca a bit panicky, not finding any trace of Gu Chengfeng and the others.

Using his divine sense to scan the whole of Tiandu, he found no sign of his uncle and his family, and moreover, the Warrior King's Mansion was covered in dust, indicating that Gu Chengfeng and the others had left so ti ago.

"Eh?"

While Gu Chen's divine sense swept through the earth and sky, he also noticed the changes in the Nine Provinces, but he had no ti to care about that now, as all his thoughts were focused on finding his uncle's family.

Soon, he found traces of the servants of Gu Mansion, such as Uncle Zhang, the gatekeeper, and Maid Xiao Yu.

The forr had now retired to enjoy his old age in an estate outside Tiandu, while the latter had actually married and was pregnant.

"It seems a lot has happened in the Nine Provinces during the ti I was away, but where did Uncle and the others go?" Gu Chen murmured, sowhat puzzled.

"Seems I have to make a trip to the Imperial Palace," said Gu Chen, vanishing from the Warrior King's Mansion, arriving within the Imperial Palace.

At this mont, not even half a day had passed since Lang Tian and the others had staged their coup; Ji Yuan was still imrsed in grief over Director Huang's death and had not yet co to.
