Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 621 456 Taoxu Road_1

At this moment, Yuan Feng's expression changed, his face became serious, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Gu Chen had not expected that after describing his encounter, Yuan Feng would react so intensely. Clearly, he recognized the mysterious woman.

"What did she say to you?" Yuan Feng asked with a heavy voice.

Gu Chen shook his head, saying, "She didn't say anything to me."

Gu Chen did not reveal to Yuan Feng that he had met the mysterious woman twice, speaking only of their first encounter.

The mysterious woman was too extraordinary. After hearing Yuan Feng's words and learning about their purpose in the lower realm, Gu Chen grew anxious to know her origins.

"How could she come here? The rules of the Nine States world obstruct it; it shouldn't be possible…" Yuan Feng muttered, still finding the news unbelievable.

Had it not been for Gu Chen's disclosure, even as a disciple of the sacred land, Yuan Feng would not have known of this.

It was simply because the identity of the mysterious woman was too extraordinary. Even in the upper realm, that was the case, a fact disciples of the sacred land could not compare with.

And seeing Yuan Feng's demeanor, Gu Chen also realized that the mysterious woman was anything but ordinary.

"Has the lower realm of the Nine States truly become a land where great events converge?" Yuan Feng's expression grew extremely grave.

He knew that since the legacy of the Nine States land was of great importance, the upper realm's magnates could not come down because of the cosmic rules. However, their disciples, like Yuan Feng and others, were sent here to fulfill their purposes.

"The Nine States is a chessboard, and we are all chess pieces, with the Great Powers of the upper realm locked in a game of strategy." Yuan Feng murmured, having seen through the current situation in the Nine States.

Hearing these words, Gu Chen's expression also became serious. The upper realm, the demons, the situation in the Nine States was getting increasingly dire.

Multitudes of forces were intertwined in the Nine States land, the so-called lower realm, which had truly become the center of the storm.

Although the upper realm's magnates could not come down, people like Yuan Feng acted as extensions of their reach, obedient to their will.

At this time, Gu Chen looked at Yuan Feng with puzzlement and asked, "Daoist Master, from which Da Sect of the upper realm does that mysterious woman come, that even you, from the sacred land, are so wary of her?"

"Sacred land?"

In that moment, Yuan Feng seemed to have suffered a blow, shaking his head and giving a bitter smile.

Even Xuan One beside him was surprised, seeing Yuan Feng from the upper realm's Unbounded Tao, showing such a reaction for the first time.

What was the background of this mysterious woman that could elicit such an expression from Yuan Feng, someone from a force at the level of a sacred land?

At this point, both Gu Chen and Xuan One were looking at Yuan Feng with puzzled faces, waiting for an answer.

"Taoxu Road, she comes from Taoxu Road!" Yuan Feng took a deep breath and, having calmed his complex emotions, said as much.

"Taoxu Road?"

Gu Chen's eyebrows rose as he looked towards Xuan One. Clearly, even as a globally-trotting member of the Unbounded Tao of the Nine States, Xuan One was just as unclear about the power structures of the upper realm.

At this point, Xuan One was still looking at Yuan Feng with a puzzled expression, having never heard the name of this power from the seniors of his sect.

"Do you remember I told you, the reason we descended to the lower realm is because of a powerful inheritance left in the Nine States?" Yuan Feng said gravely.

"Of course." Gu Chen nodded; he would naturally not forget this point.

"Within Taoxu Road, there is a living Great Power!" Yuan Feng's words were as shocking as they were sudden, revealing such a fact.

"A living Great Power?!" Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyes sharpened immediately, and Xuan One let out an involuntary cry of astonishment.

The so-called Great Powers could erase an entire world with a wave of their hand, and even in the upper realm, they were extremely rare. They were like patriarchs who could overlook the whole world, capable of destroying sacred lands.

The Taoxu Road mentioned by Yuan Feng, with such a Great Power present, was undoubtedly among the top forces in the upper realm, with no equal even to the Unbounded Tao.

No wonder Yuan Feng showed such a bitter face upon receiving the news.

"The upper realm is vast and boundless, with an endless expanse of heaven and earth. Forces and dynasties are as numerous as the carp crossing the river, and even at the level of sacred land forces, there are quite a few throughout the upper realm. The upper realm is simply too vast, and over endless years, it is a natural outcome to see many such powers emerge," Yuan Feng explained to both Gu Chen and Xuan One. "But Taoxu Road is different. A force of this level, even in an expanse as vast as the upper realm, is enough to dominate a part of the world, with sacred land level forces paling in comparison. Should there arise a threat of annihilation, only another force with a Great Power could contend against them."

Obviously, because Gu Chen relayed the news, Yuan Feng did not conceal anything, giving them a brief introduction to the power hierarchy of the upper realm.

"Are there many forces like Taoxu Road in the upper realm?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking, his curiosity about the upper realm abounding.

Yuan Feng said, "The upper realm is indeed vast, nearly endless, a massive expanse of barren land that has been blessed with infinite years, inscribed with the mark of time. Given such longevity, it has seen countless forces emerge, immense talents born, and an endless number of capable people. Although Great Powers are scarce, that's a relative term; when one considers the whole upper realm, it's hard to say."

Hearing these words, Gu Chen was struck with awe, having difficulty imagining just how vast the upper realm was.
