Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

At this moment, Gu Chen was seated in the largest creation ground within Qingyun Academy, where his strength had undergone an earth-shattering change over the past six months.

As his mind stirred, a panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Gu Chen

Martial Arts Techniques: Solar Scripture (3rd layer), Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture (3rd layer), Immortal Sacred Body (9th layer), Yuan Shen Illustrations (9th layer), Samsara Scripture (3rd layer), Illusory Annihilation Traceless (3rd layer)

It could be seen that, although there was no change in the realm of cultivation on the panel, there was a great change in the martial arts techniques compared to before.

The Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra and the Samsara Seal, as well as the three martial arts techniques of Soaring Over Void, had all vanished.

In their place, three new techniques had been added: Solar Scripture, Samsara Scripture, and Illusory Annihilation Traceless.

Each of the newly presented martial arts techniques was on par with the Nine Revolutions Emperor's Scripture. They were only at the third layer, yet they had already crossed the Earth realm and were on the verge of touching the threshold of the Heavenly realm, one might even say perilously close!

One could even say that should Gu Chen's cultivation realm advance one more step, the martial arts techniques on the panel could fully step into the Heavenly realm, possessing the power of a strike comparable to that of the Great Powers, which was truly astonishing!

Among them, it is worth noting that the Solar Scripture does not simply refer to the physical sun that illuminates the heavens and earth but represents the power of the sun—that is, the most masculine and stalwart force.

Therefore, the Solar True Fire that he wielded had become even more pure, and before long, it would reach the level of the Sun Divine Fire capable of burning all things!

Moreover, even among the divine abilities, Soaring Over Void and Ten Directions Annihilation had reached the fifth rank.

With five divine abilities of rank five on the panel, plus three others like the Moving Mountain Seal that faintly surpassed the fifth rank, Gu Chen's overall strength had reached a certain extreme.

In the Earth realm, he would be hard-pressed to find an adversary who could match him.

"Physical body at the fifth transformation peak, spiritual soul has also reached seven feet, both have seen significant growth," Gu Chen murmured to himself.

The only regret was that he had thought he could rely on Qingyun Academy's resources to break through his physical body and spiritual soul twice in succession, but the further he progressed, the more challenging the breakthroughs became, so he had not succeeded.

The physical body at the fifth transformation peak was just one step away from undergoing the sixth profound body reconstruction, and Gu Chen was quite satisfied with that.

Of course, in addition to this, Gu Chen's weapon, the mysterious gauntlets, fragments from the Dao weapon of the previous Lord of Azure Cloud Sky known as the QiongCang Battle Garments, had also been greatly enhanced.

Faintly, the full might of the mysterious gauntlets would bloom, forming an energy armor that covered Gu Chen's body.

According to the Dean of Qingyun Academy, this was almost identical to the QiongCang Battle Garments of the past, except that Gu Chen's was only a shadow.

After all, the QiongCang Battle Garments had ultimately shattered, leaving only the gauntlet part for the left hand; the current magical artifacts were not sufficient to restore it to completeness, not even close to one-tenth of its peak period.

"However, for me, the power of the mysterious gauntlets is already sufficient, not weaker than any congenital spiritual treasure!" Gu Chen's expression was exhilarated.

After entering the divine land where the Ten Thousand Tribes competition took place, with the mysterious gauntlets, Gu Chen could face those congenital spiritual treasures wielded by powers equivalent to high authorities from the upper realms without any fear.

It could be said, whether it was his own strength or external means, Gu Chen, after a six-month retreat, had made considerable progress.

"In less than two months, the Ten Thousand Tribes competition will begin," Gu Chen's expression was profound as his entire body gleamed brilliantly, with rainbows and flashes of lightning coiling around him as he sat there, like a deity, exuding tremendous majesty and grandeur.

Even his hair shimmered with splendor, his eyes opening and closing like the blazing sun!

Less than three months from now, the largest opportunity in the upper realm, the Ten Thousand Tribes competition, would start, and when that time came, the entire upper realm would be dazzled by the gathering of countless outstanding figures emerging from retreat to participate!

However, according to the information Gu Chen received from the Dean of Qingyun Academy, the first phase of the Ten Thousand Tribes competition would be a selection round.

After all, not everyone is qualified to enter; only those who secure the corresponding "slots" will have the opportunity to enter the divine land where the true competition takes place.

Subsequently, Gu Chen continued his retreat in this place for about another month, further stabilizing his strength, with his physical body even showing signs of a breakthrough.

"After uniting both bodies, I will certainly experience the sixth profound body reconstruction directly!" After more than a month, Gu Chen opened his eyes. There were bursts of electric light exploding as he softly spoke to himself.

Later, he came out of his retreat, meeting once again with Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu, as well as Zhen Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

During this time, the entirety of Qingyun Academy was extremely quiet, as everyone was fully committed to preparing for the Ten Thousand Tribes competition; no one dared to be negligent.

Princess Xidie and the others, after more than seven months of cultivation, had also made significant progress in their strength.
