Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture!

This was the new, supreme technique derived from the combination of the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret and the Emperor's Classic that Gu Chen obtained from the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. It was the result of merging two pinnacle methods with the help of the panel!

This newly acquired technique, inheriting all the excellent features of both the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret and the Emperor's Classic, had gone a step further. Even when viewed across the higher realms, it was an extremely rare imperial technique.

Moreover, this technique was primarily offensive, with incredibly powerful attacking force. Practiced to a certain degree, it might not even be weaker than some Divine Skills!

And such a technique, once it evolved into a Divine Skill, would naturally be even more potent!

"Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture," Gu Chen murmured to himself as he deeply comprehended the new technique that had appeared in his sea of consciousness.

At the same time, he glanced at the panel. There, the original sixty-four thousand merit points had now dwindled to forty-four thousand.

In other words, this deduction meant that Gu Chen had spent a full twenty thousand merit points on this deduction!

"This is truly astonishing," even Gu Chen himself could not help but exclaim.

Fortunately, now there was no need for both techniques to be completely mastered to deduce a new one; having one of them mastered was sufficient.

Otherwise, the merit points required would have been indefinite, and with the current scale, that would indeed be an astronomical figure that would leave even Gu Chen feeling fearful and astounded.

"Panel, upgrade."

Having acquired the Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture, Gu Chen didn't hesitate to upgrade the technique to the first level upon seeing the remaining merit points on the panel.

Hum!

Amidst a surge of light before his eyes, a vast amount of information flooded his mind, and the first layer of the Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture was naturally perfected.

Even Gu Chen's entire body shone with a fleeting brilliance of resplendent golden light.

"Two thousand merit points?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; he remembered that when he first acquired the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret, advancing to the first layer had only cost him a few hundred merit points.

"Sure enough, as the strength of the technique increases, the merit points required also increase," Gu Chen thought inwardly.

However, compared to those geniuses and prodigies who exhausted their minds and methods to comprehend, even seeking heavenly materials and treasures with a significant chance of failure or vain effort, he already had a considerable advantage.

Following that, Gu Chen's mind moved again, and he spent twelve thousand merit points to directly enhance the Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture to the third layer.

"Roar!"

The lofty roar of a true dragon echoed, and ninety-nine imperial dragon energies appeared around Gu Chen. The dense golden radiance enshrouded him, making him seem like a regal and indescribable noble, exalted beyond words.

"Is the power of the third layer of Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture already surpassing the full mastery of the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret?" A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Chen's eyes.

The fully mastered Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret, with sufficient cultivation to support it, had power that was subtly beyond the completeness of the union realm.

That is to say, the third layer of the Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture might have already reached the Heavenly realm, or at least it was infinitely close to the level of the Heavenly realm.

Such an accomplishment shouldn't be underestimated — after all, the third layer of this technique was just the beginning, and the gap between the Earth realm and the Heavenly realm was huge. To achieve this was enough to illustrate the strength of this technique.

It can be said that the third layer of the Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture alone, some Sixth-grade Divine Skills, couldn't even compare!

This indicates the extraordinariness of this technique.

"I wonder if the remaining merit points will be enough to support me reaching the great perfection of the Huanxu Realm?" At this moment, only thirty thousand merit points were left on the panel.

Hum!

Immediately, in the next moment, the thirty thousand merit points on the panel vanished, and in exchange, Gu Chen's body gained an additional three thousand years' worth of magical cultivation!

For a mere instant, Gu Chen felt a surging fullness within the three hundred and sixty-six celestial meridians in his body.

The next moment, when he checked the panel, indeed, he had advanced from the late stage of the Huanxu Realm to the great perfection of the Huanxu Realm!

"Finally, perfection," Gu Chen whispered. Nearly two and a half years upon arriving in the upper realm, he had gone from a Warrior at the Celestial Stage in the martial domain to this step, achieving great perfection in the Huanxu Realm.

This pace was not slow at all. In fact, it could almost be said to have set a record in the history of the upper realms!

With this, all the merit points on Gu Chen's panel had been completely expended.

Now, only five thousand Divine Power points remained on the panel, enough for one of Gu Chen's Divine Skills to reach the fifth grade.

Among the Divine Skills Gu Chen possessed, aside from the Heavenly Eye and Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, Nine Dragons Annihilation, Soaring Over Void, and Moving Mountain Seal were still rated as Sixth-grade Divine Skills.

"Nine Dragons Annihilation was the first Divine Skill I acquired in the lower realm; thus, let's upgrade it," Gu Chen murmured, and the five thousand Divine Power points vanished from the panel, instantly elevating this particular Divine Skill to the fifth grade.

As a threshold, the fifth grade marked a massive improvement in all aspects of a Divine Skill.

And as Nine Dragons Annihilation was a purely lethal Divine Skill, upon reaching the fifth grade, its destructive power became almost horrific to an extreme!

"Even the Great Powers of the Heavenly realm would have to be cautious against this move," Gu Chen contemplated deeply, and even he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

It must be known that due to the vast gap between the Earth realm and Heaven realm, even a Great Power who has just entered the Heaven realm possesses incomparable strength. Without mentioning Divine Powers, just the overwhelming cultivation within would be enough to suppress all Earth realm cultivators.

This threshold is extremely difficult to cross, at least for Gu Chen, who is currently at the peak of the Huanxu Realm, he still dares not say he can absolutely do it.

After all, though his Divine Power has reached the fifth grade and is strong, with his current strength, he still finds it difficult to fully unleash that terrifying power.

"But no matter what, with three fifth-grade Divine Powers in hand, plus two sixth-grade Divine Powers, and six major techniques, my overall strength, even if I encounter some of the Great Powers, would allow me to face them without fear," Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling joyous about his own improvement.

Following that, he took another look at the panel. The Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra, the Cycle of Reincarnation Seal Technique, and the Soaring Over Void, these three techniques had all reached completion. If there were suitable techniques, he could also deduce them together.

"I need more cultivation points. Before the opening of the Three Thousand Six Hundred Domains' Ten Thousand Tribes War in the upper realm, I must allow all these techniques to undergo transformation and sublimation," Gu Chen pondered.

The information revealed by the head of Qingyun Academy not long ago also made Gu Chen dare not take this competition lightly.

After all, no one knew what the capabilities of those individuals, who had been taught by the supreme beings of the last great age and had been buried in dust for endless years, were or to what extent their strength had reached.

Thus, constantly improving himself was something Gu Chen had to do.

In terms of Divine Powers, Gu Chen planned to strive to upgrade the remaining two to the fifth grade, as well as the three techniques he had just mentioned.

Gu Chen did not lack suitable techniques; the Qingyun Academy's library had them, what he lacked were ample cultivation points and Divine Power value.

"Now that my incarnation temporarily cannot leave Qingyun Academy and the headmaster has further instructions to give, it seems that it can only be done by my true self," Gu Chen thought.

With this thought, Gu Chen detached himself from the continent formed by the universal cauldron in the world inside his body and returned to the outside world, ready to find a way to hunt for some cultivation points and Divine Power value.

As for merging his incarnations, there was no rush for now; it would be better to wait until everything reached the limit of the Huanxu Realm before merging and breaking through. At that time, the transformation would be even more intense.

Subsequently, Gu Chen left this place and began making his mark in The Hong Domain.

...

In the East Profound Region, Jitian City, Qingyun Academy.

While his true self was resolving the Xuan Yi Sect incident, his incarnation here found rare leisure time.

During this period, Gu Chen would either gather with Princess Xidie, Yun Zishu, and the Zhen Yuan trio or cultivate in the secret chamber every day.

And precisely because of Gu Chen's presence, under his high-level guidance, the cultivation of Princess Xidie and the others also improved by leaps and bounds.

Even Princess Xidie, with the aid of some heavenly and earthly treasures, successfully broke through to the late stages of the Huanxu Realm, while Yun Zishu reached the middle stage of the Huanxu Realm.

As for the Zhen Yuan trio, their cultivation also saw respective breakthroughs, with each person making significant progress.

Of course, if looked at comprehensively, it was still Princess Xidie who was ahead. After all, the inheritance she received from an ancient ancestor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and the transformation in the Dragon Transformation Pool had benefited her immensely.

Otherwise, her cultivation level would definitely have been weaker than Yun Zishu's, not as it was now.

After another seven days had passed, on this day, Gu Chen once again received a summons from the headmaster of Qingyun Academy.

Still at the deepest part of the academy, by the azure lake where they had met last time, he saw this supreme being for the third time.

"Junior pays his respects to the headmaster," Gu Chen cupped his fists, bowing respectfully.

Even though the current headmaster of Qingyun Academy was his protector, proper respects for such a powerful being were still necessary.

"Hmm," the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, nodded slightly, looked at Gu Chen, and said, "I heard that you previously obtained a remnant of a Divine Power created by a Heavenly Lord while in the academy's opened Holy Rhythm Land?"

Gu Chen was initially startled by the words, but he quickly understood that the other party was referring to the Moving Mountain Seal.

"Indeed," Gu Chen nodded.

Previously, according to Princess Xidie, this was a combined Divine Power originating from a supreme Heavenly Lord of the Azure Cloud Sky. The Moving Mountain Seal was just a fragment and not the complete technique.

With the fall of the Azure Cloud Sky, this Divine Power had also scattered. Now only a few remnants were left, and there might be one or two left in Qingyun Academy.

Hearing that Gu Chen had obtained the inheritance, the face of the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, also became a bit more solemn, considering it related to the legacy of the Azure Cloud Sky's Heavenly Lord.

"The origins of this Divine Power, you must also be somewhat clear. The Moving Mountain Seal you obtained is only one part of it, which could also be said to be the initial move. This Divine Power, once created by the Heavenly Lord, was complete and consisted of five moves," said the headmaster of Qingyun Academy.

"Five moves?!"

Gu Chen was suddenly surprised; a single incomplete move, or rather an initial move, was already so powerful, potentially reaching the first-grade Divine Power level depending on the cultivator's strength. If all five moves were combined and fully realized, what kind of scene would that be?

For a moment, Gu Chen couldn't help but be lost in his thoughts, simultaneously sighing inwardly, worthy of being a Divine Power created by a legend of the supreme beings, truly extraordinary!

The headmaster of Qingyun Academy looked at Gu Chen, who was in shock, and shared some good news, saying, "This Divine Power indeed still exists within the academy, aside from the Moving Mountain Seal. Would you like to have it?"

"Of course!" Gu Chen nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, the headmaster of Qingyun Academy also nodded slightly and said, "Good, then follow me."
