Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 351 Fame Spreads Across the World (second update of the day!)_1

Tiandu, Prince Huai's Mansion.

"My lord, my lord… there is big news…"

At this moment, Gongsun, a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Innate Realm, rushed into the study with an urgent expression and saw King Huai, deep in thought behind the desk.

This first prince of Da Xia had a handsome face and a gentle demeanor, but due to his age and unfamiliarity with martial arts, his temples were already somewhat grayed.

Seeing Gongsun, himself a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Innate Realm, so flustered, King Huai raised an eyebrow and said, "What's the rush? Has there been a large-scale demon invasion in the Nine Provinces, or has a high-level member of the Six Union God Sect emerged?"

Gongsun's face still showed shock, and his heart could not calm down for a long time after hearing the news. He said, "No, my lord, it's something else…"

King Huai, puzzled, wondered what else could make a Grandmaster of Martial Arts so agitated.

"What is it?" The voice of King Huai carried a strange power that, somehow, soothed Gongsun's disordered thoughts.

Indeed, it was no wonder he was affected so, for the news was truly astonishing, and Gongsun knew that even King Huai would be hardly better off upon hearing it.

Thus, taking a deep breath, Gongsun looked at King Huai with utmost gravity and said, "My lord, an urgent dispatch has come from eight hundred miles away in East Province. Gu Chen, he has broken through to the Innate Realm!"

"His breakthrough is hardly surprising…"

King Huai said this, for in his view, with Gu Chen's talent, breaking through to a new realm was not a big deal, but expected.

However, the next moment, he realized the gravity, and the first prince of Da Xia's pupils dilated slightly as he stared at Gongsun, saying, "What did you say? Say it again."

"My lord, I said, Gu Chen, he has reached the Innate Realm!" Gongsun repeated solemnly.

"The Innate Realm?!"

Faintly, Gongsun saw King Huai, who normally remained unflustered even if mountains crumbled before him, seem to tremble slightly.

Although barely detectable, Gongsun, as a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Innate Realm, had excellent eyesight and caught the movement very clearly.

Even King Huai's eyes, as well as his face, flashed a look of astonishment, all of which Gongsun clearly observed.

However, Gongsun was not surprised; this was within the bounds of reason.

For now that the news had spread, the entire world was in an uproar, with even those in the Innate Realm unable to remain detached.

Throughout the Nine Provinces, all the major powers were in turmoil; the entire world was discussing this matter.

Gongsun, a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Innate Realm, was fully aware of what Gu Chen's breakthrough meant.

The emergence of a new Grandmaster in the Innate Realm was sensational enough, but it was not enough to cause such a huge disturbance.

It was all because of Gu Chen's age, along with his deeds.

"Tell me everything in detail," King Huai said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Gongsun nodded and then conveyed in detail the events in East Province, including those within the spiritual realms, to King Huai.

"What did you say? Gu Chen killed all the disciples walking the world from Mount Tianzhu, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, and Burning Heaven Valley?!" King Huai barely contained his shock as he asked again.

"That's correct."

Gongsun nodded. These were not secrets anymore, as the number of warriors emerging from the spiritual realms was not small, and they all knew what Gu Chen had done there. Once the spiritual realms opened and those people came out, the information naturally spread.

Gongsun was also trembling upon hearing the news—those were the Six Great Holy Lands, and in the Nine Provinces, there was not a single martial artist who did not revere them.

But now, they had been told that Gu Chen had slaughtered the most outstanding heirs of the three great holy lands of Mount Tianzhu and others, like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, which nearly stopped their hearts.

If one were to describe Gu Chen's actions in the spiritual realms, only three words would suffice.

Defying the heavens!

Each event that had transpired in East Province was shocking enough on its own, let alone when all were combined as the work of one man. Upon learning this news, the feelings of the people in the world could not just be described as shocked.

Defying the heavens, only these two words could encapsulate all of Gu Chen's actions.

"Where is he now?" King Huai asked expressionlessly. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

Gongsun spoke softly, "Unless unexpected, Lord Wu'an should still be in East Province. Tianyun Sect and Purple Extreme Sect there have pledged allegiance to the Six Union God Sect, and Jing Tian Department is coordinating with Lord Wu'an to prepare for eradication."

Although Gu Chen had only accomplished the Innate Realm at the young age of twenty-two, Gongsun no longer dared to call him by his name, instead referring to him as "Lord Wu'an".

"I understand."

Seeing this, Gongsun did not say more but directly withdrew.

This time, he did not stay close to protect King Huai but left sufficient space for the king alone.

"A twenty-two-year-old in the Innate Realm…"

King Huai's eyes were profound. At this moment, his entire demeanor exuded an indescribable aura; his clenched fists indicated that his heart was not at peace, or perhaps significant waves had arisen.

"Then, when the time comes, what will you choose…"

From the closed study, came King Huai's soft mutter.

…

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is big news, big news…" Eunuch Huang hurried to the Imperial Study and saw the former Crown Prince, now the Emperor of Da Xia, Ji Yuan.
