Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 619 455: An Immeasurable Background_1
Hearing the words of the young Taoist Yuan Feng, Gu Chen's expression suddenly froze, and then he let out a wry laugh.
He really hadn't expected that Xuan One had brought Yuan Feng to his door for the purpose of recruiting him.
Gu Chen said, "This time on Qi Yun Mountain, I killed so many from the holy lands. The Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley, many of their people died by my hand. If I were to join the Wuji Dao Gate, would they agree?"
Yuan Feng, of course, understood Gu Chen's meaning and replied with a faint smile, "Brother Gu, rest assured, if I dared to come here to invite you, of course I've anticipated all possible matters."
At that moment, Xuan One beside Yuan Feng also spoke up, "Brother Gu, this is a rare opportunity. If you agree, once the matters in the nine states are settled, you can directly follow Senior Brother Yuan and use the cross-realm transmission formation to ascend to the upper realm. It can be said to be an opportunity to defy the heavens and change your fate. I hope you will give it serious consideration."
"Although you successfully got through the crisis this time, the strength of the three holy lands is far from just that. If you continue on, you will undoubtedly be the one at a disadvantage, Brother Gu. The holy lands' execution edict is no joke. Realizing your strength and talent, next time, when the three holy lands of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect make a move, they will not take you lightly. They will crush you with the force of thunder."
Xuan One advised solemnly, as a representative of Wuji Dao Gate in the nine states, no one was clearer about the strength of the three holy lands of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley than he was.
Once this period was over, and they were free to act, Gu Chen would undoubtedly face certain death.
Even though Gu Chen's strength and talent were formidable, and he rivaled the top martial artists in the Coagulation Field Realm despite his young age, those who made a move last time were merely at the early stages of the Coagulation Field Realm. Next time, with several experts from the middle and later stages of the Coagulation Field Realm taking action, Gu Chen would have no chance of survival.
Just as Xuan One said, the three holy lands, including the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, had recognized Gu Chen's strength and would not give him time to continue growing.

With a grave expression, Xuan One continued, "Senior Brother Yuan Feng comes from the Wuji Dao Gate of the upper realm and is also quite an outstanding disciple there. With his protection, even the three holy lands would not dare to treat you lightly, significantly reducing your burden, Brother Gu."
Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded. He was aware that Xuan One's words were no mere flattery.
If the holy lands had no strength, they wouldn't have been able to suppress the nine states for so many years since the end of the ancient times.
In the Coagulation Field Realm, although their numbers are not many in the nine states, that does not mean the holy lands are few in number.
Even the demonic cult leader Dugu Yun, who reached the Divine Intent Realm over three hundred years ago and had the power to confront them, could not subdue the holy lands, and neither could the Xia Emperor. Gu Chen didn't believe that he could handle the three great holy lands of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.
Now, it was only because of the special timing, coinciding with the descent of those from the upper realm, and the strong from the holy lands were preoccupied with the cross-realm transmission; otherwise, facing the offensive of the three great holy lands, Gu Chen would also feel unsure.
At this time, Yuan Feng spoke up in a soft voice, "I see that Brother Gu is a straightforward person, so I'll speak frankly."
"Please speak freely", Gu Chen nodded.
Yuan Feng said, "Brother Gu possesses extraordinary talent. In the battle at Qi Yun Mountain, you displayed the potential to achieve saintly physical prowess and unparalleled combat power capable of defeating Coagulation Field Realm martial artists beyond your own level. This ability is rare even in the vast upper realm."
"With your talents, Brother Gu, staying in the pond that is the nine states is akin to trapping yourself in a cocoon. Forgive my directness, but growing up in this broken world, it's difficult to accomplish much. Someone like you, Brother Gu, is worthy of ascending the summit of the martial path. The boundless upper realm, with its myriad of geniuses, is where you truly belong. The nine states is merely a waystation for you."
As a holy land-level power, Wuji Dao Gate holds significant influence, not just in the nine states, but also in the upper realm.
Yet even so, given Gu Chen's talent, Wuji Dao Gate viewed him as important and sought to include him within their ranks.
Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned slightly, knowing what Yuan Feng said made sense. It was indeed difficult to achieve something in the nine states where the rules of the world were incomplete. Moreover, Gu Chen was indeed very interested in the so-called upper realm.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Chen asked, "If I join Wuji Dao Gate, would my family be able to follow me to the upper realm?"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng fell into contemplation. The cost of cross-realm transmission was extremely high, regardless of whether it was from the upper realm to the nine states or vice versa.
Based on Yuan Feng's understanding, all of Gu Chen's relatives were merely ordinary people without any cultivation. Bringing them from the nine states to the upper realm would incur a greater cost. Otherwise, they might very well be torn apart by the spatial turbulence in an instant during transmission, completely unable to withstand that kind of pressure.
Seeing Yuan Feng's reaction, Gu Chen realized that taking his second uncle's family to the upper realm might be too unrealistic.
Frowning, Yuan Feng said, "Brother Gu, I won't hide it from you. I can't give you an immediate answer to this question. I need to inquire with the holy land's higher-ups. However, given your talent, there is a decent probability that the higher-ups in the upper realm will agree."
Gu Chen nodded at these words but didn't hold out much hope in his heart.
