Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

On the way back from the Qintian Monitor, Gu Chen kept thinking about what the Tower Supervisor had said to him.

"So, above the demonic spirits are the demonic entities!" Gu Chen's heart trembled with fear.

Demonic entities were a higher existence than demonic spirits and were countless times more terrifying. Even the weakest demonic entity was equivalent to the Heavenly Human Realm in the human martial path!

Each demonic entity, if it descended to Jiuzhou, possessed the power to destroy the world!

Of course, due to the rejection of Jiuzhou's rules of heaven and earth, it wasn't easy for demonic entities to descend from their world to Jiuzhou.

As for Dugu Yun and the two Holy Envoys of the so-called demonic cult, as well as the three Dharma Kings, including the ancient ghost Gu Mu, who had been slain by Gu Chen, the reason they had survived for more than three hundred years was because they had been possessed by demonic entities and demonic spirits back then!

The source of all this was the demonic cult leader Dugu Yun, who should have died!

Back then, the entire world fought against the demonic cult, and even the six Holy Lands took action. It was because the strong Divine Intent Realm experts hidden within the six Holy Lands emerged and joined forces to deal with Dugu Yun. Additionally, Dugu Yun himself failed in his cultivation, leading to the eventual downfall of the demonic cult.

Otherwise, if Dugu Yun wanted to hide, even the six Holy Lands would have been helpless against him as a Divine Intent Realm expert.

At that time, Dugu Yun indeed died. However, a demonic entity happened to descend and possess Dugu Yun, which is why this demonic cult leader came back to life.

But after coming back to life, Dugu Yun was no longer himself; he was a demonic entity. He found other dying demonic cult warriors, helped the two Holy Envoys and the three Dharma Kings fuse with the demonic spirits that crossed over with him, allowing those people to survive.

"So, back then, demonic spirits had already descended to Jiuzhou!" Through this conversation, the Tower Supervisor revealed a secret to Gu Chen.

That was, the reason why there were endless waves of demonic spirits descending to Jiuzhou was because there was a space passage outside of Jiuzhou!

More than three hundred years ago, the Jiuzhou world and the world of demonic spirits bordered each other. This space passage formed, like a coordinate, allowing countless demonic spirits to invade.

However, because of the rejection of Jiuzhou's rules of heaven and earth, the stronger the demonic spirit, the greater the price it had to pay to descend to Jiuzhou.

At that time, the demonic entity possessing Dugu Yun was extremely powerful but directly suffered severe injuries due to descending to Jiuzhou, causing its power to plummet and almost be extinguished.

The other demonic spirits that followed naturally suffered the same fate. Only, their power was not as strong as the demonic entity within Dugu Yun, so their injuries were even more severe.

This was also the reason why the demonic cult's high ranking members had remained in seclusion.

But now, more than three hundred years later, Dugu Yun had almost restored the majority of his power. Although he couldn't reach his peak state, as long as he reached the Heavenly Human Realm, there would be no opponents left in Jiuzhou.

Although Jiuzhou restricted warriors from reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, Dugu Yun was different; he was now a demonic entity, and his strength was being restored, not breaking through.

After hearing this, Gu Chen immediately felt a tremendous pressure in his heart.

The abilities of demonic entities were completely incomparable to demonic spirits, and calling it a world of difference wasn't enough. Therefore, the Tower Supervisor repeatedly urged Gu Chen to be extremely careful.

At the same time, the Tower Supervisor also told Gu Chen about the whereabouts of the chief commander of the Jing Tian Department and the master of the Mingjing Department.

Back then, the emperor of Da Xia knew of this matter and, prior to his seclusion to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, ordered the Jing Tian Department's chief commander Wei Cang and the Mingjing Department's master Luo Xun to leave Jiuzhou and guard the space passage outside, preventing more demonic spirits from descending.

Therefore, after that time, the number of demonic spirits in Jiuzhou decreased significantly.

The current increase in demonic spirits was due to the continued merging of the demonic spirit world with Jiuzhou, eroding Jiuzhou's rules of heaven and earth. Thus, besides the space passage, demonic spirits occasionally descended suddenly in various parts of Jiuzhou.

"So this is the fundamental reason for the mysterious origins of demonic spirits." Gu Chen understood. The demonic spirits descending now were tearing through the barriers between their world and Jiuzhou and arriving directly, bypassing the space passage.

But regardless, that space passage was the coordinate point for the demonic spirit world to Jiuzhou, the location of the first demonic spirit descent. Without Wei Cang and Luo Xun guarding it, Jiuzhou would have long been overrun by demonic spirits.

For over twenty years, they guarded that place. Respect filled Gu Chen's heart when he thought of these two.

It turned out they had always been silently protecting Jiuzhou from afar, unknown to anyone.

The Tower Supervisor, who was ordered to stay behind by the emperor of Da Xia to watch over Da Xia, was the most suitable person to remain due to his mastery of the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, capable of observing the great trends of the world.

"The emperor of Da Xia was indeed an unparalleled ruler." Gu Chen sighed. Such arrangements had indeed greatly suppressed the turmoil in Jiuzhou.

If the emperor of Da Xia successfully broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm, perhaps he truly could have rewritten Jiuzhou's fate.

After all, several years ago, before Dugu Yun reached the Heavenly Human Realm, he wouldn't have been a match for the emperor, who could easily have killed him.

The Tower Supervisor also informed Gu Chen that the current peace in Jiuzhou was merely the calm before the storm.

The Tower Supervisor believed that the demonic cult was secretly capturing demonic spirits. Therefore, recently, since the second world mutation, the number of demonic spirits appearing wasn't too high, and there had only been one instance of a prison-grade demonic spirit.

These missing demonic spirits had undoubtedly ended up in the hands of the demonic cult, which surely wasn't content with staying quiet and was plotting something.

The Tower Supervisor told Gu Chen all this because, with Gu Chen's current cultivation level, it was time for him to know.

Also because, regarding the upper realm, Gu Chen had killed so many people from the Holy Lands, they wouldn't give up easily either.

At this moment, the pressure in Gu Chen's heart grew heavier. This pressure hadn't lessened with the increase in his strength.

Because his enemies were continually getting stronger as well.

"Demonic cult leader, Dugu Yun!" At this moment, Gu Chen's eyes became cold as he gazed into the distance.

He was Gu Chen, also the greatest enemy of all Jiuzhou.

"I won't let you succeed!" Gu Chen's expression turned icy as he clenched his fists tightly.

"Da Lang, you're back?"

At this moment, Uncle Zhang's voice rang in Gu Chen's ears, awakening him from his deep thoughts.

It turned out, without realizing it, he had already arrived at the gate of the Gu Mansion.

"Mm." Seeing Uncle Zhang, Gu Chen's expression immediately softened, and he nodded with a smile.

Then, he pushed open the door and walked in. In the courtyard, Aunt Xu Qinge was trimming flowers and plants with his sister, Gu Qingyan, while his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, who was recently on leave, was practicing martial arts nearby.

"Da Lang has returned." Seeing Gu Chen, Aunt Xu Qinge smiled and said.

"Big Brother." Gu Qingyan also smiled sweetly.

Gu Chen looked at Gu Qingyan. He had already learned from the Tower Supervisor that his sister had a Xuan Yin Body, a rare physique even in the upper realm, which is why Yang Qian from the Burning Heaven Valley had taken an interest in Gu Qingyan.

This physique could advance rapidly if she practiced martial arts. The Tower Supervisor once said she might not be much inferior to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was slightly surprised upon hearing this. He originally planned to ask Gu Qingyan if she wanted to practice martial arts after returning home, but seeing her in her current state, he merely smiled and didn't mention it.

He already noticed Gu Qingyan's thoughts. After all, with Gu Chen in the family, it was enough.

"Big Brother, why are you staring at me? Do I have something on my face?" Gu Qingyan, with her delicate and pretty face, was momentarily stunned, then touched her cheek.

"No, it's because you're so beautiful that Big Brother was stunned." Gu Chen teased.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan's face instantly turned red as she glared at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen glanced at his second uncle and then greeted: "Second Uncle, practicing?"

"Mm."

Gu Chengfeng, with a resolute expression, nodded upon hearing this. The experience of being imprisoned in the Sky Prison had made him realize his lack of strength, so he had been practicing diligently during this time.

However, his talent was quite average. Even with all the resources provided by Gu Chen, he had just barely reached the Vajra Realm and was at the second level of copper-cast iron.

Previously, Gu Chengfeng would call Gu Chen to help him during training, but now he no longer did.

As Gu Chen sat in the courtyard drinking tea, Uncle Zhang suddenly walked in from the gate.

"Da Lang, someone is looking for you." While saying this, there was a touch of astonishment in Uncle Zhang's eyes, full of admiration.

"Mm? Who is it?" Gu Chen asked casually.

"It's...a very beautiful woman." Uncle Zhang said, his face filled with amazement.

"A woman?!"

Hearing this, Second Uncle Gu Chengfeng, Aunt Xu Qinge, and his sister, Gu Qingyan, were all shocked.

Soon, Second Uncle and Aunt Xu Qinge's eyes flashed with joy, and they hurriedly told Uncle Zhang: "Quick, invite the young lady in. It's not our way to keep a guest waiting outside."

Seeing this, Gu Chen knew Second Uncle and Aunt Xu Qinge had misunderstood, feeling a bit helpless.

Moreover, it wasn't just a young lady but a fairy.

Recalling the mysterious woman's appearance, Gu Chen's eyes also revealed a touch of admiration.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyan, who had been staring at Gu Chen, immediately became suspicious.

Soon, with Uncle Zhang leading the way, a tall, graceful woman in white clothes, with an ethereal temperament and flawless jade-like skin, walked into the Gu Mansion and reached the courtyard.

Along the way, all the servants of the Gu Mansion were dumbfounded upon seeing this woman.

Even though she wore a white veil, they still felt an unparalleled sense of beauty.

"This...this is too beautiful. Is she a fairy?" Even Aunt Xu Qinge was stunned. Despite her own extraordinary beauty, admired by many and well-maintained over the years, she always took pride in her appearance.

But now, with the appearance of this woman in white, even without revealing her face, just her figure and aura made Aunt Xu Qinge feel overshadowed instantly.

As for Second Uncle Gu Chengfeng, he was also dumbfounded. He was always anxious about Gu Chen's marriage but never expected his nephew to bring a fairy to their door.

"Fairy, we meet again." At this moment, Gu Chen stood up, smiled, and walked up to the woman in white.

She stood there, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall, as independent as an otherworldly flower, ethereal and tranquil, like the most exquisite painting in the world, making one reluctant to destroy it, and even staring too long felt like blasphemy, causing a sense of inferiority.

"May I know this time, Fairy, will you tell me your name?" Gu Chen, with black hair like ink, a tall and slender body, his skin glowing with luster, and handsome features as if carved by knife and chisel, asked with a smile.

"Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling." The woman in white spoke. Her voice was incredibly melodious and ethereal, with an inherent sense of transcendence, like a fairy of the moon.
