Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

After obtaining the imperial technique inheritance — Emperor's Classic, Gu Chen's journey to his ancestral lands could be said to have come to a close, thus ending.

Subsequently, having fully received the inheritance, Gu Chen felt a flash of light before his eyes, and when his vision cleared, he found himself already outside the ancient temple.

Surrounding him, there were many figures, including the eldest prince and the second prince, among others. The expressions on their faces were extremely grim, and they were still covered in patches of blood, clearly standing there by forcing themselves.

Upon seeing Gu Chen emerge, the expressions on their faces grew even darker, even to the point of gnashing their teeth in anger.

Not having attained the opportunity from the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's ancient forebear left the eldest prince and the second prince feeling nothing short of immense fury towards Gu Chen.

"Gu Bai, don't think that just because you have some strength, you can be arrogant and presumptuous in front of Us. Once We leave the ancestral land, We will see how you handle yourself then!" the eldest and second princes scoffed coldly.

Clearly, they believed that once outside the ancestral land, Gu Chen would be crushed into powder by the might of forces like the Seven Stars Sect and the Dragon Sparrow Clan.

"You need not concern yourselves with that," responded Gu Chen calmly, without a hint of worry.

"Pretentious!" The two princes' faces turned ugly, and without another word, once they saw their own people come out, they turned and swiftly left with their entourage.

After the Dragon Transformation Pool and the inheritance site, the ancestral land would close in seven days.

At that time, the stone talismans held by people like Gu Chen would transfer them back to Saint Hua City once again.

Gu Chen had not stood there for long before Yun Zishu also came out of the ancient temple, his face beaming with joy, indicating that he, too, had gained a substantial reward.

"Brother Gu," greeted Yun Zishu, quickly approaching Gu Chen upon seeing him.

Then, one after another, the cultivators who had entered the ancient temple began to emerge; some were fortunate enough to have received an inheritance, while others emerged empty-handed.

After standing and waiting in the same spot for another half an hour, Gu Chen and Yun Zishu finally saw Princess Xidie and the Ninth Prince, the siblings, make their appearance.

"Gu Bai!"

As soon as Princess Xidie emerged, her eyes lit up at the sight of Gu Chen, her face breaking into a bright smile as she quickly walked over to him.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince shook his head in resignation, thinking his little sister truly lacked restraint.

Gu Chen looked at Princess Xidie; the reason she and the Ninth Prince were late was that they received two inheritances.

Especially the opportunity left behind by an ancient forebear of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, which greatly benefited both Princess Xidie and the Ninth Prince siblings.

Through the Dragon Transformation Pool, Princess Xidie reached the early stage of Huanxu Realm and took a significant step forward, almost reaching the middle stage of Huanxu Realm.

As for the Ninth Prince, he was on the verge of breaking through to the late stage of Huanxu Realm.

Their advancement could not be said to be small.

Of course, the reason they could do so was naturally because of Gu Chen, so even though the Ninth Prince did not say it, he felt very grateful in his heart.

In the following days, everyone cultivated in the ancestral land for seven more days. Taking advantage of this opportunity, and with the imperial insights gained from the ancient temple, along with the aid of the fragmented jade, Gu Chen succeeded in advancing the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret another step forward without using any merit points, breaking through from the sixth to the seventh layer!

You should know, the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret has only nine layers in total, and Gu Chen, being only at the early stage of Huanxu Realm, managed to reach such a level. It could be said that he was now comparable to some Earth realm top cultivators who had fully mastered the Union Realm.

This was, naturally, an exceedingly rare achievement!

At the same time, it also signified that Gu Chen had taken an extremely solid step on the path of merging and deducing the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret with the Emperor's Classic.

The breakthrough of Gu Chen was naturally witnessed by Princess Xidie, as well as Yun Zishu and the Ninth Prince.

The emanating fluctuations, even though Gu Chen did his best to contain them, still left the three, especially Yun Zishu and the Ninth Prince, astounded.

The person sitting in meditation before them seemed not to be a Huanxu Realm cultivator, but rather a top Earth realm powerhouse at the peak of the Union Realm, imposing a great pressure on them.

"This time my little sister truly had an exceptional eye, she found a true dragon to bring back," the Ninth Prince couldn't help but sigh to himself.

At the same time, he also noticed the rich imperial aura around Gu Chen and the strong oppressive force it exuded; subconsciously, he felt that in this respect, the other was even more intense than himself, a prince.

"Could it be that my future brother-in-law will truly have the opportunity to create an ancient country that will last tens of thousands or even millions of years?" wondered the Ninth Prince, examining Gu Chen in amazement.

As a prince, he was naturally very sensitive to the aura of the imperial path.

If this were true, that would be extraordinary, indicating a great chance for Gu Chen to become a supreme being, and perhaps even one of the foremost existences!

This would be akin to him standing alongside the ancient founder of their Holy Brilliance Dynasty!

Soon after, the seven days passed, and the time to close the ancestral land arrived, with many holding stone talismans and looking at this place with complex expressions.

Following this event, practically everyone had gained significantly, with their strength greatly enhanced; and in terms of experience, they had also grown immensely.

Amongst these, the impact brought by Gu Chen to them was particularly profound, leaving many still in shock after so many days.

At the same time, they all knew that the turbulence in the ancestral land was only temporary, and that the true storm would unfold once they left this place!
