Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 618 454: All of Kyushu Shocked (Three Thousand Words, Asking for Subscriptions!)_2

Upon hearing the issuance of the sacred land's assassination order, Toumuer initially believed that Gu Chen was undoubtedly doomed and was quite pleased. But now, upon receiving news from Da Xia that the sacred land's assassination order had failed, and that Gu Chen had displayed divine might, the emperor of Da Yuan collapsed directly onto his bed, falling sick and unable to rise.

As a congenital realm martial arts grandmaster, Toumuer naturally had long since become invulnerable to all diseases. His condition was thus not one of bodily illness, but of a malaise of the heart.

Given the current state of Da Yuan, if the national teacher, Shiba Shitu, did not come out of seclusion, Gu Chen alone would be enough to annihilate the entire Da Yuan.

This situation was all too familiar to Toumuer, feeling as if he had seen it before because wasn't this precisely the predicament that Da Yuan had encountered facing the previous generation's emperor of Xia over two decades ago?

Toumuer understood that, under the present circumstances, the only viable strategy was to collaborate with the Six Union God Sect and remove Gu Chen!

It was not just them; the entire nine provinces were discussing this matter. As enemies of Gu Chen, they felt anxious, whereas as allies of Gu Chen, or those who had submitted to him, they felt joy.

For instance, the forces of the martial world such as the Beidou Sect, Yao Platform Sect, Canghai Sect, and Giant Spirit Gate, even including the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect.

At this moment, the old Celestial Master looked emotional and said, "I didn't expect that the Marquis of Wu'an from Da Xia would achieve this step so quickly."

Below, the young Celestial Master, Zhang Chengxuan, and a group of congenital realm martial arts grandmasters from Dragon Tiger Mountain were all present. Upon hearing this, a congenital realm martial arts grandmaster spoke up, "It is due to the old Celestial Master's discerning eye. This Lord Gu... is truly extraordinary. Who would have thought, who dared to think, that in such a short amount of time, he'd reach such heights?"

The old Celestial Master sighed lightly and said, "I did not expect it either. I thought he would need some time, but to think he has risen to power so forcefully with such momentum. From today on, he will be Da Xia's, and even Central Plains', reliance."

Not only them, but the entire world was now talking about Gu Chen. Moreover, before the titles of garrison commander, Marquis of Wu'an, and butcher, Gu Chen now bore an additional moniker—that of a legend of the nine provinces.

No, he is the legend of the nine provinces.

Throughout history, a divine realm practitioner at the age of twenty-three was unheard of, let alone one capable of defeating a Coagulation Field realm practitioner while being in a lower realm.

Because the gap between the divine realm and the Coagulation Field realm was not something that could be described as a mere chasm. It was an insurmountable difference, akin to comparing children to martial arts experts, heaven and earth apart.

"Even the six major sacred lands cannot subdue the Marquis of Wu'an, Gu Chen. I think, at this rate, he'll soon be invincible in the world."

"That's right, a divine realm practitioner defeating someone from the Coagulation Field realm—it's unheard of, unimaginable! This is truly unprecedented and unparalleled. Looking through history, and even in the future, it seems that only the legend of the nine provinces, the garrison commander of Da Xia, the Marquis of Wu'an, Gu Chen, could achieve this feat."

Nowadays, when people mention Gu Chen, there are few who do not admire him.

Of course, no matter when, there will always be those who refuse to yield. Even at this stage, there is a very small minority who remain unconvinced.

"Hmph, what 'six major sacred lands'? It was only three of them that took action. If they had all acted together like over three hundred years ago when dealing with the Six Union God Sect, do you think Butcher Gu Chen would still be alive?"

"Moreover, there are countless experts within the sacred lands, and it's only a matter of a Coagulation Field realm master, what's that worth? If the sacred lands truly want to kill Gu Chen, once they get through this period and are at liberty to do so, they could annihilate him with a flick of the wrist!"

"Exactly, and this butcher is far too arrogant, daring to provoke even the prodigies from the higher realm's sacred lands and major sects, saying he'll kill them at will. He's really asking for death. The sacred land's assassination order persists, his death is certain—only a matter of when. Acting so brazenly, he will not be spared even by the higher realms!"

"Whom the heavens wish to destroy, they first make mad!"

There were warriors from Tianzhou who were indignant and sought to defend the sacred lands.

Upon hearing such remarks, some warriors immediately expressed their displeasure with a cold snort, "Ha, you speak so lightly. Is the Coagulation Field realm nothing to you? Then go and kill one for us to see. You don't even need to defeat someone above your level, can you do that? With your puny strength, you dare make such brash statements, a far cry from the Coagulation Field realm. Anyone can boast. You mention only three sacred lands made a move, and compare the Marquis of Wu'an with the leader of the demon sect, Dugu Yun. What realm and age was Dugu Yun at that time? By the time the Marquis of Wu'an reaches that age, he will surely have reached the realm of a celestial being in martial arts. Do you think the six major sacred lands will still be a match for him then?"

"The sacred lands have their ways, do you really think this is all there is to the Marquis of Wu'an? I believe he has not gone all out yet! Who knows what else he has in reserve? What miracles has the Marquis of Wu'an not created?"

Even the innkeeper was somewhat displeased, saying, "I don't welcome the two of you here. Go back to wherever you came from. We don't welcome those who speak ill of the Marquis of Wu'an. I don't even want the meal money. Get out of my establishment right now!"

"That's right, get out!"

Soon, the two warriors from Tianzhou left with ashen faces, driven out by the crowd.

It could be said that after this affair, Gu Chen's prestige in the hearts of the world's people had grown even more. Many regarded him as a legendary figure, believing he was the leader of this generation in the nine provinces.

From time immemorial, no other figure like Gu Chen had emerged in the nine provinces. Just looking at the current stage, even the emperor of Xia, hailed as the emperor of a millennium, fell short at this age, or at this realm, compared to Gu Chen.

This added an even greater layer of mystique to Gu Chen, celebrated and sung about by the masses.

The decisive battle at Qi Yun Mountain also became a tale in the world, across the entire nine provinces, transmitted far and wide, enduring through the ages.

Nowadays, Gu Chen's reputation in the nine provinces is very high. If he were to stand tall and call out, countless people would undoubtedly choose to follow him, perhaps even enough to establish an empire.

But alas, Gu Chen had no such ambition.

Four days had passed since the battle at Qi Yun Mountain. After returning to the Gu Mansion in Tiandu, and thanks to his robust physique and the Three Suns Scorches the Heavens Skill, Gu Chen's injuries had mostly healed.

Although he had emerged utterly victorious in the battle at Qi Yun Mountain, he did not feel joy, for as long as the sacred lands were not extinguished, danger still loomed over him.

The sacred land's edict of execution was a pursuit to the death, not just empty words, and Gu Chen needed to enhance his strength as soon as possible to face even greater crises.

One day, Uncle Zhang from the gatehouse suddenly sought out Gu Chen, informing him that a person from the martial world had come to visit.

Gu Chen was somewhat surprised by the news and had Uncle Zhang welcome the visitor in.

There were two people who came, and one of them could even be considered an acquaintance of Gu Chen. It was Xuan One, the current "Walking in the World" representative from the Infinite Dao among the six major sacred lands of the nine provinces.

"Brother Gu, it's been a long time since we last saw each other."

Xuan One, still in the congenital realm and far behind Gu Chen, felt somewhat restrained seeing Gu Chen again after more than a year.

After all, not long ago, Gu Chen had just slaughtered a large group of people from the sacred lands, a veritable bloodbath.

"Indeed, it's been a long time, Brother Xuan One." Gu Chen smiled slightly, not haughty at all as he invited Xuan One and the other person into the living room.

Seeing this scene, Xuan One too released a sigh of relief, fearing that his own identity would cause Gu Chen to harbor resentment.

"I wonder what brings Brother Xuan One to my door today?" Gu Chen glanced unobtrusively at the person next to Xuan One.

The man was a young male, roughly the same age as Xuan One, donned in a Daoist robe, with a transcendent air about him. Seeing Gu Chen's gaze, he offered a friendly smile and said, "Poor Daoist Yuan Feng. This time, I have come to inquire if Lord Gu might have any interest in ascending to the higher realms?"
