Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 714 - 511: Unbridled (A third update of ten thousand words, please subscribe!)_1

In the inner city of Tiandu, at the headquarters of the Jing Tian Department, in a secret chamber.

With a massive amount of cultivation points cleared, Gu Chen's seclusion came to an end.

"It's time to come out." Gu Chen opened his eyes, and at this moment, his eyes were dazzling with light, gold flames surged, and his body was as robust as a dragon, his vitality as vast as the sea and so vigorous it was almost inconceivable.

"Barbarian tribes, it's time for a thorough cleanup." Gu Chen muttered to himself, his voice somewhat cold.

Initially, after exterminating the barbarian tribes and severely wounding their Grand Priest Saranguis, Gu Chen had intended to pursue him into the Great Hundred Mountains to finish him off completely.

However, due to the urgent crisis in Tiandu, Gu Chen had no choice but to return to Tiandu first to deal with King Huai and the others.

Now that the matter was resolved, and Gu Chen's cultivation had achieved a major breakthrough, reaching the late stage of the Coagulation Field, he felt even more confident about going to the Great Hundred Mountains.

Although it was regarded as the number one forbidden zone in the Nine Provinces, with an environment different from the outer Nine Provinces' great world, unable to draw upon the power of heaven and earth after entering, relying solely on oneself amidst numerous dangers, Gu Chen was fearless.

Moreover, even if there was truly some crisis he couldn't handle, relying on the Heavenly Seed, Gu Chen believed he could come and go as he pleased.

The Heavenly Seed contained the power of a world, a nascent form of heaven and earth. With the Heavenly Seed, if he couldn't overcome the enemy, retreating wouldn't be a problem.

"Since the barbarian tribes have become history, Saranguis no longer has any reason to exist." Gu Chen's expression was somewhat detached.

At the same time, he was actually somewhat interested in the so-called ancient divine demon legacy.

Legends of the ancients continued to spread even today; the gods and demons were immensely powerful. Although the barbarians had inherited the bloodline of the gods and demons, it was only a small part, and the concentration was not high.

Moreover, after so many years, it had been tremendously diluted, yet even so, the physical strength of the barbarians was quite formidable, which was the fundamental reason for Gu Chen's interest.

Physical strength had always been his advantage, and Gu Chen also wanted to see if the so-called ancient divine demon legacy could be of use to him.

This was also an important reason why he wanted to enter the Great Hundred Mountains.

Afterward, Gu Chen emerged from seclusion, and just as he was about to return to Gu Mansion, news came from the palace; Emperor Ji Yuan summoned him, saying there was an important matter to discuss.

Immediately, Gu Chen's figure flashed, moving as fast as lightning, and in an instant, he arrived in the Imperial Study of the palace.

At this moment, inside the Imperial Study, the faces of Ji Yuan and Qin Wu were quite solemn.

Gu Chen appeared outside the Imperial Study and immediately stepped in, bowing respectfully, "Your Majesty, Commander Qin, I pay my respects."

Both of these individuals had provided considerable help during Gu Chen's growth, so even now, although his strength was vastly different from the past, his attitude towards Ji Yuan and Qin Wu remained unchanged.

"Gu Chen, you've arrived," said Ji Yuan and Qin Wu, both nodding their heads as they saw him.

"I heard Your Majesty was looking for me for an important matter?" Gu Chen looked toward Ji Yuan, who sat at the head of the room.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan took a deep breath and said in a grave tone, "I've received news from the Great Yuan. Their number one martial artist, the national advisor Bastu, is likely to come out of seclusion soon!"

"Oh?"

Gu Chen's eyebrows raised as he said, "Bastu has been in seclusion for many years with the aim of refining Divine Intent and becoming the unrivaled number one. Now that he is coming out of seclusion, that means..."

"Exactly," Emperor Ji Yuan nodded, taking up Gu Chen's words with an extremely serious face, "Bastu is about to advance to the Divine Intent Realm!"

"That is indeed astonishing news," Gu Chen nodded, understanding that once Bastu achieved Divine Intent Realm, he would indeed be the unrivaled number one of the contemporary era, and this news would stir up the entire Nine Provinces.

"This Bastu is truly not to be underestimated," remarked Gu Chen, his eyes deep and intense.

To be able to cultivate Divine Intent in such an environment spoke volumes of Bastu's formidable strength.

"This is incredibly heavy news for Da Xia," said Ji Yuan and Qin Wu, their hearts filled with worry.

After all, Divine Intent Realm, since ancient times, throughout tens of thousands of years, besides the six sacred lands, the number of martial artists in the Nine Provinces who had achieved Divine Intent Realm could be counted on one hand, demonstrating the extreme difficulty and rarity.

"Gu Chen, you..." Suddenly, Ji Yuan halted, looking at Gu Chen with a hopeful expression.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I won't be able to advance to the Divine Intent Realm in the short term."

Although Gu Chen was confident that he would be able to achieve the Divine Intent Realm in the future, it was not possible now.

After all, his current cultivation was only at the late stage of the Coagulation Field, still a significant gap from the Divine Intent Realm.

Ji Yuan's complexion turned slightly unwell upon hearing this, because if Bastu came out of seclusion, Great Yuan would surely declare war on Da Xia.

No, there was no need for war; with Bastu alone, he could annihilate the entire Da Xia.

Gu Chen naturally thought of this too, and his expression became serious.

But in the next moment, Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he looked toward Ji Yuan at the head of the room, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something I must attend to, and may need to leave for a while."

"Very well," Ji Yuan was taken aback but instinctively nodded his head.

Whoosh!

Immediately afterward, Gu Chen's figure vanished from the Imperial Study.

At this moment, in the inner city of Tiandu, atop the Qintian Monitor's Bagua Building, on the Star Gazing platform.

The white-haired and bearded Tower Supervisor sat cross-legged here, his face somber. His body shone with starlight, his aura mysterious and profound, his aged eyes deep, seemingly capable of seeing through the Nine Provinces.

Clearly, the Tower Supervisor was using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill to divine something.

The next moment, Gu Chen's figure appeared, and looking at the somber Tower Supervisor, he asked with some confusion, "Tower Supervisor, has something happened?"

"Three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect have come to Tiandu!" the Tower Supervisor stated in a grave voice.

"Hmm?!" Gu Chen's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, saying, "They really are not afraid of dying, daring to come still?"

Immediately, Gu Chen said with a cold voice, "Where are they? I'll go and slay them now."

Hearing this, the Tower Supervisor shook his head and said, "This time, they came prepared and deliberately shielded their presence from the heavens before setting out. They've already been on their way for some time."

"What do you mean?" Gu Chen's eyebrows knitted together, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Sure enough, the Tower Supervisor's expression became solemn as he said solemnly, "They have already arrived at Tiandu!"

...

At this moment, at the gates of Tiandu, three expressionless, imposing elders stood there.

Watching the flowing crowd in front of them, the third, fourth, and fifth elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect frowned immediately.

Whoosh!

In an instant, their figures vanished on the spot, a flash of movement, and when they reappeared, they had crossed the city gates and entered the outer city of Tiandu.

"What's going on?!"

At this time, several soldiers on the newly repaired wall of Tiandu spotted this scene, their faces changing instantly.

"Not good, Commander, some martial arts experts have forcibly entered the city!" They quickly reported up the chain of command.

Due to the importance of Tiandu, the scrutiny was strict, fearing that martial arts masters could infiltrate and cause great destruction.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the commander responsible for guarding the city wall immediately changed his expression and, following the soldiers' indications, also saw the three elders.

"Experts, definitely experts!" The thought chilled the commander to the core, and as he quickly reported the news, he also led his men down from the city wall and surrounded the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

"Who are you, and why have you intruded upon Tiandu without permission?" demanded the commander sternly.

Although somewhat nervous, it was his duty to do so, especially since two major incidents had recently occurred in Tiandu. The second one, a demonic attack on the city, had left a very deep impression on everyone.

Nobody wanted such a thing to happen again.

Meanwhile, the pedestrians on the streets witnessing this scene also showed shock, retreating backward continuously.

The three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect wore indifferent expressions, ignoring the city guards, because in their eyes, these people, including the citizens of Tiandu, were mere ants, not even worthy of speaking to them.

"Gu Chen, come out and meet us!"

Just then, the fifth elder spoke up, his commanding voice booming. Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled, the sound echoing like thunder throughout Tiandu, and it lingered for an extended period!

Pfft!

In an instant, when the voice erupted, those civilians and the commander of the city guards who hadn't managed to evacuate, their bodies burst open and turned into clouds of blood mist, dead!

"Boss!"

The soldiers on the wall, seeing this unfold, instantly reddened their eyes, their remaining sanity telling them to escape quickly.

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of the Royal Sword Guard and the Forbidden Army patrolling the outer city.

"Ah..."

The citizens were horrified, screaming as they ran in other directions.

The faces of the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect remained disinterested. As martial arts masters with perfect mastery of the Coagulation Field, they could annihilate the entire Tiandu in a moment's notice if they so desired.

To them, these mundane lives were genuinely no different from ants, there to be taken if they wished.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Gu Chen appeared on the scene. Seeing the fresh blood on the ground around him, his face instantly darkened.

"You are asking for death!" he declared, his aura bursting with killing intent, yet he contained it forcefully, to avoid causing collateral damage.

The three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect saw this and coldly sneered, noting Gu Chen's reluctance to take action for fear of harming innocents.

"Gu Chen, do not deceive yourself; we have not come here to fight you, but instead to share some good news." The fifth elder began, his leisurely tone revealing he did not take the recent slaughter to heart.

Gu Chen remained silent, coldly watching the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, waiting for the Tower Supervisor.

"Hmph, there's no need for such hostility from you. They're merely ants. These disrespecting people deserved to die for their rudeness. Do you realize that we've already shown considerable restraint? Otherwise, with these people's behavior, it wouldn't be excessive to lay waste to the entire Tiandu."

The three spoke with an indifferent demeanor, treating all lives as no more precious than livestock and daring to talk this way even within a nation's capital city, a display of arrogance and brazenness tantamount to slapping the face of Da Xia.

"Do you wish to die?" Flames seemed about to erupt from Gu Chen's pupils as his killing intent surged.

The fourth elder remained composed, treating Gu Chen's fury as beneath care, and said, "We have come here not to fight, as we've already said. We are here to share with you a grand opportunity—a great fortune to you."

"I don't need it, leave!" Gu Chen snapped coldly.

This manner of speaking and tone caused the expressions of the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect to turn colder. The fifth elder grew impatient, saying, "Gu Chen, do not overreach. As we've said, we did not come to fight. Otherwise, Tiandu would have turned to dust just now. We are here to invite you to join the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, to enter the holy land, and even to ascend to the higher realms together in the future."

"You have killed our disciples and shown various forms of disrespect to our holy land, but the holy land has its own magnanimity. Taking into account your talent, we are willing to forgive you. We are here to offer you a great opportunity. I hope you seize it."

Despite coming to recruit Gu Chen, they adopted a superior demeanor as if joining the Vault of Sky Sword Sect was an immense honor, as though they were bestowing charity. This attitude was far worse than the previous approach of Xuan One and Yuan Feng from the Unbound Sect, almost enough to make someone sick.

"So full of yourselves, truly a dog can't change the habit of eating feces, resolute in not ceasing until the last drop of blood has been spilled!"

At that moment, Gu Chen's eyes flashed coldly, his killing intent sky-high and dreadfully severe. As his aura surged, he said coldly, "Today, let your blood spill three feet wide; your heads will be used to commemorate the spirits of those who've died!"
