Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

After this battle, Gu Chen believed that Zhang Ling would not dare to act so arrogantly again.

Sure enough, when Gu Chen threw him to the ground like discarding trash and his gaze swept over him, Zhang Ling, like a dead dog, suddenly showed intense fear in his eyes, as if he was about to faint from fright.

As expected, although Zhang Ling didn't die, he was no longer as formidable, his physical injuries might be healed by the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, but the trauma in his heart would never recover in this lifetime.

Afterwards, Gu Chen, somewhat disdainfully, took away Zhang Ling's storage magical treasure from him and retrieved a life-saving pill from it to administer to him.

Gu Chen certainly couldn't let him die, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Qingyun Academy.

"Throw him outside the Academy, don't bother with him; once the medicine takes effect to a certain extent, he will be able to leave on his own," Gu Chen turned his head and said to Yan Qi.

"Understood," Yan Qi paused for a moment, then quickly nodded in response.

Thus, the once immensely proud Zhang Ling was observed like a dead dog by countless people in Jitian City, his spirit would surely break, which was countless times more torturous than killing him.

However, Gu Chen didn't feel the slightest bit of pity for him, all of this was a result of the other's own actions. Zhang Ling used a forbidden weapon against him, clearly wishing to kill him and scatter his ashes.

In perceiving killing intent, Gu Chen would never make a mistake.

Furthermore, he had clearly seen Zhang Ling's previous arrogant and condescending demeanor.

One could only say that all of this was brought upon by Zhang Ling himself, no one else was to blame.

After that, Gu Chen put away the forbidden weapon, his figure flashed, and without any hesitation, he left the place and headed to the depths of Qingyun Academy.

All of this was because, just now, he had received a transmission from the Dean of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, whose voice sounded somewhat urgent, causing Gu Chen to feel surprised.

Thus, after dealing with Zhang Ling, Gu Chen went straight to the depths of the Academy to meet with the Dean Situ Yin.

"May I ask why the Dean has summoned this junior?" Gu Chen appeared outside the ancient hall, was led inside, and looked towards the Dean of Qingyun Academy.

At this moment, the Dean, as a supreme being, appeared agitated, which was very obvious, and even Gu Chen could feel it very clearly.

"Bring out the weapon you just used!" the Dean of Qingyun Academy said in a deep voice, his tone unquestionable.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, never expecting the Dean of Qingyun Academy to be so excited, was it because of the mysterious gauntlets?

At this moment, seeing Gu Chen's expression, Dean Situ Yin realized he had been somewhat overzealous, calmed his emotions, and asked, "Where did you obtain it from?"

Although the Dean, a supreme being, was trying to conceal his eagerness, Gu Chen still detected the impatience in his tone.

The mysterious gauntlets were an ancient artefact, originating from the lower realm of Kyushu. When his cultivation was low, Gu Chen participated in the Pure Yang Martial Sect trials and acquired them by exceeding the challenges in the trial tower.

And this was also the fundamental reason for his enmity with the Pure Yang Martial Sect.

Now, seeing the Dean's reaction to the mysterious gauntlets, Gu Chen immediately realized that the gauntlets had a bigger background than he had imagined.

"This junior also obtained it by chance," said Gu Chen.

The dean of Qingyun Academy furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this and knew that Gu Chen had his unspeakable difficulties and it was not appropriate to inquire deeply. Sensing this, he did not continue to press the issue, but instead said, "Could you take it out for me to have a look?"

"Of course, please wait, Dean." Gu Chen nodded assent.

Then, with a thought, the mysterious gauntlet that shimmered with inscrutable light on its surface began to separate from the deepest flesh of his left hand and materialized, appearing in the outside world.

Having reached the level of strength that Gu Chen had, it was only natural that he could take out the mysterious gauntlet whenever he wanted.

Now, seeing that the dean of Qingyun Academy seemed to know something, Gu Chen's curiosity was also piqued.

However, he did not ask immediately as it seemed inappropriate.

At this moment, the dean, Situ Yin, of Qingyun Academy, upon seeing the mysterious gauntlet, became incredibly excited, gently cradling it in his hands as it hovered before him, continually murmuring, "It really is you, it really is you!"

Even his voice trembled faintly with excitement. If this news were to get out, it would certainly cause an uproar!

For something to elicit such a reaction from a supreme being, the mysterious gauntlet's origins might be unfathomably significant!

Gu Chen thought as much and felt a wave of shock himself, and his curiosity grew even stronger.

"I never thought, truly never thought that one day, this weapon would reappear!" At this moment, the dean's eyes gleamed brightly, and he suddenly turned to Gu Chen, saying, "It seems that you, the inheritor of the Azure Cloud Sky, should be the one. Indeed, everything is predestined, and the previous sage's divination was not mistaken!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was somewhat dumbfounded, not understanding how the mysterious gauntlet was related to Azure Cloud Sky.

The dean's eyes burned brightly as he gazed at Gu Chen, a vague aura of authority emanating from him. Cradling the mysterious gauntlet in hand, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know what this is?"

"The junior does not know." Gu Chen shook his head, thinking that this was an obvious probe.

Of course, given the dean's current state of great excitement, there were some things Gu Chen dared not speak recklessly about.

Otherwise, as a supreme being, one slap from the dean would be more than Gu Chen could bear.

After a pause, Gu Chen continued, "However, seeing the dean's reaction, I presume the mysterious gauntlet must have a remarkable origin?"

"Mysterious gauntlet?" Hearing Gu Chen referring to it by that name, the dean of Qingyun Academy was momentarily stunned, then let out a self-deprecating chuckle, saying, "Indeed, other than myself, there are probably few in the Upper Realm who would know its history. Calling it mysterious is certainly no problem."

Afterward, the dean's expression turned serious, and he solemnly warned Gu Chen, "The words I am about to tell you, you must listen carefully, and you cannot speak of them to anyone. You cannot tell anyone, do you understand?"

"The junior understands." Gu Chen was first taken aback but quickly recovered, his expression intensifying as he nodded earnestly.

He knew that the dean of Qingyun Academy was about to reveal the true origin of the mysterious gauntlet to him.

Ever since he obtained the mysterious gauntlet, Gu Chen had journeyed from a weak warrior to his current position, traveling from the Nine Provinces of the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm. This ancient artifact had truly accompanied him for an extremely long time, even longer than the Sky Seed period, and was the first significant treasure he had obtained.

His curiosity about the origin of the mysterious gauntlet had lingered for quite some time, and he had intended to take the opportunity to visit the Pure Yang Martial Sect in the Gray Domain to inquire, but unexpectedly, he had found the answer at Qingyun Academy.

For a moment, Gu Chen's heart was also stirred with excitement.

At this moment, the dean of Qingyun Academy spoke up, word by word, slowly saying, "What you call the mysterious gauntlet, its true origin is the most formidable weapon of the Azure Cloud Sky's lord from the previous era. It is a Dao weapon, and its name is—Skyvault Battle Garment!"
