Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 475 359

"Marquis of Wu'an!"

He was furious, but deep within his pupils, there lay a profound dread of Gu Chen.

The middle-aged man had never imagined that a mere junior, who had just entered the innate realm, would possess such strength, bordering on invincible.

"Old Celestial Master, are you still not showing yourself?" Gu Chen's voice echoed over Mount Longhu, resonating for a long time.

Clearly, he was disregarding the five Innate Realm grandmasters of the Celestial Master Tao, leaving them without an ounce of face.

A mere twenty-two-year-old junior was able to walk unhindered on Mount Longhu, and even the fully-realized Innate Realm warriors were powerless against him. This battle only deepened Gu Chen's fame in the hearts of everyone present.

The form of the invincible!

That was the thought in the minds of many warriors present, especially those Innate Realm martial grandmasters.

Such talent, such combat power, was truly terrifying.

One might even say it was unprecedented.

The middle-aged man from the Celestial Master Tao of Mount Longhu turned an iron shade of blue, ready to make another move.

At that moment, Gu Chen abruptly turned his head, his eyes blazing as he stared at the man and said, "Dare to provoke me again, and don't blame me for being ruthless!"

A twenty-two-year-old young man was scolding a fully-realized Innate Realm grandmaster who had established a formidable reputation in the martial world. The scene seemed odd, yet everyone felt it was only natural.

The fully-realized Innate master from the Celestial Master Tao of Mount Longhu stiffened. At that instant, he truly felt a life-threatening crisis that froze him in place.

"And you all, the same goes for you!" Gu Chen's gaze swept around, intimidating the five Innates of the Celestial Master Tao.

"Sigh..."

Suddenly, an ancient sigh sounded, soft but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Old Celestial Master!"

The people of the Celestial Master Tao of Mount Longhu all changed expression, recognizing the voice as belonging to the Old Celestial Master.

"Why must the Marquis of Wu'an continue to be so aggressive?" The voice of the Old Celestial Master was heard before he was seen, not revealing himself but his voice echoed in the area.

"Is the Old Celestial Master going to step in to teach Gu Chen a lesson?" At this moment, everyone was watching nervously.

This was a martial sage of divine passage, one of just a handful in the whole of Da Xia, revered to the highest degree, an insurmountable peak in Da Xia.

"Does the Old Celestial Master not know my purpose here?" Gu Chen remained calm, even when facing the divine passage martial sage, the Old Celestial Master.

After all, with his current strength, his supreme divine weapon, and his heavenly constitution, even if he couldn't defeat the Old Celestial Master, he could still escape unscathed. If he wanted to leave, the Old Celestial Master couldn't stop him.

Seeing how composed Gu Chen was, the crowd was even more amazed; at least, they could never be as composed in the face of the Old Celestial Master.

After a long silence, the Old Celestial Master let out another deep sigh and said, "I know."

"Then why does the Old Celestial Master not dare to meet me? Could it be that you have other thoughts in mind?" Gu Chen was blunt, wanting to know the Old Celestial Master's current stance.

Because it mattered a great deal.

Seeing Gu Chen daring to stand up to a top-tier martial sage of divine passage like this, the people's eyes widened with surprise, and they couldn't help but admire him.

There were only so many divine passage martial sages in the world, each with immense power and authority. How many people dared to speak to them in such a way?

Keep in mind that the one confronting the Old Celestial Master was a mere twenty-two-year-old youth.

In the past, this was unthinkable, something not even imagined, and had someone predicted such a scene, no one in the world would have believed it.

The young Celestial Master Zhang Chengxuan also stood there, his expression extremely complex. Even he, having deeply received the true teachings of the old Celestial Master, faced the old Celestial Master with full reverence. How could he dare to act as casually and freely as Gu Chen?

Moreover, looking at the old Celestial Master's attitude, he seemed not to be treating Gu Chen like a junior but rather was communicating with him as an equal.

At that moment, the words of the old Celestial Master resonated directly in Gu Chen's mind: "The Celestial Master Sect of Mount Longhu has never had any other thoughts, nor does it want to get involved in the disputes between Da Xia and the demonic sects. I am advanced in years and only wish to live out my twilight years in peace."

Gu Chen was not surprised at the old Celestial Master's method. A top grandmaster who had attained divine communion through the martial path had a spiritual strength that was extraordinarily pure and could naturally achieve this.

Thus, Gu Chen also thought in his heart: "Old Celestial Master, you want to retire but do you think the demonic sects will agree? Even if the demonic sects agree, what do you think the future of the Nine Provinces will be? Can one truly isolate oneself from it?"

Hearing these words, the old Celestial Master was silent, not saying a word for a long time.

Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Chen continued: "The great calamity of the Nine Provinces is imminent. With your experience, old Celestial Master, you do not need me to say what challenges the Nine Provinces will face in the future. The demonic sects have the ambition of wolves and plot to swallow the Nine Provinces. They are also in collusion with foreign evil spirits and demons.

When the great calamity comes, no one will be able to remain uninvolved."

"What does Marquis Wu'an wish to do?" the old Celestial Master's voice grew heavier.

"To unite the forces of the Nine Provinces to face the two great enemies of the demonic sects and the foreign evil spirits and demons," Gu Chen said with conviction.

"Marquis Wu'an actually has such thoughts?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, the old Celestial Master was clearly somewhat shocked.

Although Gu Chen did not say it outright, the old Celestial Master understood Gu Chen's implication. The Marquis Wu'an clearly intended to unify the Nine Provinces.

Gu Chen said: "To be frank, some forces have already agreed. The reason I have sought out the old Celestial Master is not only for your strength but also for your prestige in the martial world. If you join, it would greatly facilitate the success of this endeavor."

The old Celestial Master fell silent again for a moment before his voice rang out once more, "But as things stand, I cannot trust you or Da Xia."

Clearly, the old Celestial Master was quite aware of the strength of the Six Union God Sect, and no matter how one looked at it, the present Da Xia could not possibly be a match for Dugu Yun, the sect leader of the Six Union God Sect, once he emerged from seclusion.

Besides, Gu Chen had also offended the six sacred sites. No one knew what the future would hold.

"Does the old Celestial Master not have confidence in me?" Gu Chen asked.

"No, I do trust in Marquis Wu'an's talent and strength. It is Da Xia that I do not have confidence in," the old Celestial Master said.

"Then what would it take for the old Celestial Master to agree?" Gu Chen slightly furrowed his brow.

He understood the old Celestial Master's thoughts. On the demonic sects' side, the old Celestial Master knew of their ruthless ambition and therefore was unwilling to join.

But as for Da Xia, with the disappearance of the Summer Emperor, the Grand Commander of the Jing Tian Department and the Master of the Mingjing Department were in the same situation, their top tier combat strength far inferior to the Six Union God Sect. The old Celestial Master didn't dare to put all his bets on Da Xia.

"Once Marquis Wu'an has reached the realm of divine communion, the Celestial Master Sect will make a choice," the old Celestial Master said.

"The realm of divine communion?" Gu Chen said, "Alright, I do not believe it will take too long. Old Celestial Master, you must remember your promise."

The old Celestial Master was silent for a moment, seemingly somewhat taken aback. After all, there were no more than a dozen divine communion martial experts in the vast Nine Provinces, and Gu Chen was so confident?

But on second thought, the old Celestial Master also understood that, with Gu Chen's talent and strength, along with the support of Da Xia, becoming a divine communion martial expert might indeed not take too long.

"Marquis Wu'an, rest assured, I will definitely remember. But I also urge you to be extremely careful. The demonic sects will not let things go easily," the old Celestial Master finally said.

"Thank you for the reminder, old Celestial Master."

After saying these words, Gu Chen immediately felt that the spiritual sense of the old Celestial Master had completely disappeared.

Outside, at this moment, all eyes were on Gu Chen. Without his voice, the place was utterly silent.

Soon, after the spiritual sense of the old Celestial Master disappeared, Gu Chen scanned the crowd, cupped his fists, and said, "Today, I have offended many. I will take my leave first."

Now that he had nearly achieved his goal and knew the old Celestial Master's stance, Gu Chen naturally would not linger there any longer, decisively turning to leave.

At this moment, the gaze of everyone still followed Gu Chen, watching him depart.

What had happened here would soon spread, and Gu Chen's direct confrontation with the old Celestial Master, a divine communion martial expert, would surely become the talk of countless people.
