Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Alright, big brother, you said it, 'A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.'"

"You little girl, you know quite a lot."

…

One month later, Tiandu.

"Uncle, aunt, Qinyan, you go back home first, I need to make a trip to Jing Tian Department first."

After reaching the inner city, Gu Chen parted ways with his uncle's family and went to Jing Tian Department, where he met with Qin Wu, the Deputy Commander of Jing Tian Department.

"I've seen Qin Command," Gu Chen greeted with a fist clasp and a bow.

Qin Wu was robust and sitting in the chief seat, his tiger-like eyes beaming as he looked at Gu Chen, clearly very satisfied.

Then, at the request of Qin Wu, Gu Chen detailed all that had taken place in East Province.

"Good, I knew that if Divine Intent Realm were to open, with your talent, you would certainly be able to break through to the innate realm first," Qin Wu said, nodding with a smile.

Gu Chen said, "I've let down the instructions of Qin Command, I did not complete the mission thoroughly, and let Lin Bai, the young master of Six Union God Sect escape."

Concerning the matter of the heaven-kind, Gu Chen had decided not to mention it to anyone. Letting the world focus on Lin Bai was enough.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu slightly shook his head and said, "No matter, from your description, Lin Bai has extraordinary talent, and he has even learned the demon sect's paramount skill, the Six Harmonies Everlasting Divine Skill. It's surprising that you were able to defeat him. Him burning his essential blood to escape left him greatly injured, and he poses no significant threat.

Even with some precious treasure, recovering would take a long time."

Qin Wu knew full well how powerful a paramount skill could be. Although Lin Bai had only scratched the surface due to his own limitations, Gu Chen's ability to solve it and defeat Lin Bai was enough to catch his attention.

At this moment, Qin Wu's expression turned serious, "There's something I need to tell you. The Tower Supervisor wants to see you."

"Hm?"

Gu Chen was startled and said with a hint of disbelief, "The Tower Supervisor wants to see me?"

To Gu Chen, who was always curious about this legendary figure in Da Xia, even King Huai and the current Emperor Ji Yuan did not have the privilege to casually meet with the Tower Supervisor, let alone Gu Chen himself.

Now, hearing that the Tower Supervisor wanted to meet with him, Gu Chen felt a surge of excitement.

"There's no time to delay. Although you have just returned to Tiandu, I must trouble you to make another trip to Qintian Monitor," said Qin Wu.

"Yes," Gu Chen replied.

He clasped fists, then immediately left Jing Tian Department and hurried to Qintian Monitor.

With Gu Chen's speed, he quickly arrived in front of the Bagua Building with its flying eaves and upturned corners. The place was exceptionally quiet, not even the chirping of birds could be heard.

"Is this Qintian Monitor?"

Gu Chen looked at the eight-story building in front of him, just as the tightly closed doors of Qintian Monitor opened with a creak, and a handsome man in white clothes walked out.

It was none other than Qi Yu, the Tower Supervisor's seventh disciple, who had once met Gu Chen at the court.

"Lord Gu, we meet again," Qi Yu said with a slight smile.

Gu Chen nodded, also wearing a smile, and after exchanging greetings, Qi Yu led Gu Chen into Qintian Monitor.

"My master is at the Star Gazing platform, which is the rooftop of Bagua Building."

As Qi Yu introduced the location, he led Gu Chen up the building.

The architectural style inside Qintian Monitor was much like the large libraries Gu Chen had seen in his previous life, with a circular corridor. Each floor was guarded by one of the Tower Supervisor's disciples.

Soon, with Qi Yu's guidance, Gu Chen arrived at the top of Qintian Monitor, where there was a closed iron door.

"Lord Gu, my master is above. I will not go over. Please proceed at your convenience," Qi Yu said.

Gu Chen nodded, and after Qi Yu left, he pushed open the heavy door and arrived at the top-level Star Gazing platform of the Bagua Building.

He saw, not far away, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged. With the air of a sage and a visage resembling an elderly immortal, he sat at the edge of the Star Gazing platform, his back turned to Gu Chen.

This was Gu Chen's first meeting with the Tower Supervisor.

"Junior Gu Chen, pays respects to the Tower Supervisor." Facing the Tower Supervisor's back, Gu Chen bowed with a fist wrapped in his palm and gave a deep bow.

"Come over." The Tower Supervisor's airy voice reached Gu Chen's ears.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately stepped forward, walking up to the Tower Supervisor, and said, "May I know why the Tower Supervisor has summoned this junior here, is there any command?"

The Supervisor did not speak; he turned around, his eyes that had seen through the mysteries of the world looked over.

With just one glance, Gu Chen felt as if his entire being had been seen through.

"True Dragon Destiny, indeed extraordinary," said the white-haired and bearded Supervisor with a smile on his face.

Gu Chen was puzzled, not knowing what the "True Dragon Destiny" the Supervisor spoke of was.

The Supervisor did not seem inclined to answer, but asked softly again, "What is your view on the current situation of the world?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Chen said, wrapping his fist in his palm, "To the Tower Supervisor, this junior believes that the Nine Provinces are in imminent danger."

Although he did not know why the Supervisor would ask him such a question, Gu Chen still relayed the most truthful situation he understood.

"It seems you also know about the Catastrophe of the Nine Provinces," said the Supervisor.

"Yes," Gu Chen nodded and replied candidly, "It was Xuan Yuan from the Wuji Dao Gate who told me."

"Wuji Dao Gate, indeed rare amongst the six great holy lands to have maintained its original heart," the Supervisor commented with a profound gaze in a certain direction.

Then, the Supervisor looked at Gu Chen again, his countenance calm and undisturbed like an ancient well, and asked, "What are your thoughts regarding the Catastrophe of the Nine Provinces?"

"Do what I can, at all costs!" Gu Chen said with unwavering determination, offering those eight words as his answer.

Clearly, seeing the increasingly intense smile on the Supervisor's face, Gu Chen knew—did his answer somehow satisfy the Supervisor?

"Do you know the difficulty of this matter?" the Supervisor inquired.

"I am aware," nodded Gu Chen.

"No." The Supervisor shook his head and said, "You only have a rough idea. Let me tell you about the actual situation in the world right now."

"You must know that the Catastrophe of the Nine Provinces doesn't only involve demons and ghosts, but also the Six Union God Sect. That Sect Leader, Dugu Yun, was a Divine Intent Realm powerhouse three hundred years ago. Now, after more than three hundred years, no one knows what realm he has reached."

"Furthermore, under Dugu Yun of the Six Union God Sect, there are two Holy Envoys. Both these individuals are at the Coagulation Field realm. Do you have the confidence to face them?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyes instantly sharpened.

Although he had now reached the Innate Realm, the Coagulation Field realm was still a great distance away from him. According to what Ji Yuan had told him, in the past five thousand years of the Nine Provinces, there had been only six powerhouses at the Coagulation Field realm!

Gu Chen had confidence in himself, that he would definitely become a Coagulation Field realm expert and even surpass it in the future, but at the moment, if he were to confront an expert of such a high caliber, he had no confidence at all.

Seeing Gu Chen's reaction, the Supervisor continued, "Below the two Holy Envoys, there are four Guardian Law Kings. Their cultivation is all at the Divine Transcendence realm, and under the four Guardian Law Kings, there are eight Enforcement Elders. They are all at the peak of the Innate Realm, even approaching the step of Divine Transcendence.

This is the high-level battle strength of the Six Union God Sect."

Gu Chen's expression turned solemn, and his pupils contracted. Although he was well aware of the strength of the Six Union God Sect, he hadn't expected them to possess such formidable power after emerging three hundred years later.

Instantly, a doubt surfaced in Gu Chen's heart. He promptly asked, "With such strength, the Six Union God Sect is probably not weaker than Da Xia was twenty-three years ago, right?"

The Supervisor's voice was calm as he indifferently stated, "If we don't count the Xia Emperor, the current Six Union God Sect can already rival that of Da Xia at its most prosperous state twenty-three years ago."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's body shook, and he quickly inquired again, "But Supervisor, the Six Union God Sect has remained dormant for more than three hundred years. How could they have such formidable power as soon as they re-emerged?"
