Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 756 - 536: Breakthrough, Divine Intent Realm_2

Only by condensing and accumulating all of these together can one forge the true will of martial arts, also known as the emergence of Divine Intent!

It can be said that Divine Intent is the fusion and even sublimation of a martial artist's understanding of the martial path and personal beliefs.

If any aspect is lacking, one cannot smoothly break through to the Divine Intent Realm.

And the condensation of Divine Intent is also a review of one's own martial path—if there are obstacles or deficiencies in the heart, if the mind is not complete, it is equally difficult to achieve the Divine Intent Realm.

This is also why Emperor Ji Yuan and Qin Wu were so worried back then.

Of course, these are just internal conditions, while external conditions require a certain degree of enlightenment about the world. In the process of condensing Divine Intent, one must unite with the world to invoke its great momentum.

Only by meeting all the internal and external conditions can a martial artist smoothly ascend to the Divine Intent Realm.

"What is my path, what is it that I truly want?"

At this moment, Gu Chen was sitting cross-legged in a secret room at the headquarters of Jing Tian Department, asking himself this very question.

With his spirit, energy, and understanding of the world, as well as his personal beliefs, Gu Chen lacked nothing. What he truly needed now was to explore the future of his martial path.

Or rather, his true heart—why did he cultivate martial arts?

Only by finding this reason, penetrating to the core of his heart, and achieving clarity of mind, could his nature become completely whole and flawless.

To reach the pinnacle of martial arts?

That was, and yet it wasn't, or perhaps it wasn't entirely so.

"Initially, when I arrived in this bizarre and strange world, it was just to survive..." At this time, Gu Chen's spirit was concentrated, recalling his situation when he first arrived in Da Xia.

Back then, his understanding of Da Xia was based on memories in his mind, completely in the dark, with only the presence of his interface panel as his sole comfort in this world.

And his initial thought was merely to survive.

Latter on, as he completed missions and accumulated merit points to improve himself, and through contact with his second uncle Gu Chengfeng's family, Gu Chen's thoughts began to multiply. He wanted to protect his second uncle and them, his only relatives in this world.

Second Uncle Gu Chengfeng, Aunt Xu Qinge, and cousin Gu Qingyan could be said to be Gu Chen's Achilles' heel, holding an extremely important place in his heart.

Later, he became acquainted with Chen Yu, Song Yu, Wang Yan, and even the Vice Commander of Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, now Emperor Ji Yuan of Da Xia, as well as the Tower Supervisor and others.

He also grew from a weak, insignificant low-status martial artist into a top figure who disturbed the peace of Da Xia, creating myths unprecedented in the history of Da Xia, whose thoughts could cause turbulence in the world, a monument in martial arts history, revered by all.

He had transitioned from caring only for himself to caring for the world. Without Gu Chen, Da Xia—or perhaps all of Da Xia—would have fallen into chaos long ago, its fate unknown.

At the very least, Da Xia's downfall would have been certain.

"But all this, is not what I asked for..." Gu Chen murmured, recalling the various events he had experienced since coming to this world.

Fame and fortune had never been what Gu Chen sought, and as for saving the world? He didn't have such grand thoughts either, not from the beginning, and he doubted the nobility in himself.

He was human, not a deity; he too could feel weary and would rather avoid constant fighting if possible.

One could only say that the world is unpredictable, and ultimately, Gu Chen still reached the position he was in now.

"Since all of this is destined and cannot be changed, then I shall rise in this broken world, swim against the tide, and end it all by my own hand, shattering everything in my way, and bring this world back onto its original track!"

At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with fierce determination, his belief unshakably steadfast, and one might even say relentless!

Just as Gu Chen himself said, since everything had to be faced in the end, and without dealing with the evil spirits nothing could be avoided, he would accomplish it all.

After all, some things always required someone to stand up and take action.

Now in all of Da Xia, he was the highest of them all; if he did not step forward, who else could?!

Moreover, when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? If Da Xia were destroyed, not only he but also his second uncle's family would perish, as would all the people who were close to him. Nothing would remain.

What seemed like a simple self-inquiry was in fact a journey into the heart for Gu Chen, an unusual odyssey of self-discovery essential for breaking through to the Divine Intent Realm.

It was at this moment that Gu Chen's mentality underwent a transformation, just as he had said — he intended to rewrite it all!

Right now, his will was extraordinarily firm; it could be said he was unstoppable, undisturbed by heaven and earth or by anything at all. This was what he was determined to do!

"From this moment forth, I shall be the very peak of the martial path!"

This was also the vision Gu Chen held in his heart. Given his current achievements, he naturally would not be content to stop here.

The so-called martial immortals, he too wanted to experience what that realm was like and the vast, boundless upper realms where endless scions resided!

Boom rumble rumble!

Suddenly, just as the thought settled, a sound like a mountain cry and a tsunami erupted within Gu Chen's body — the surging sound of boundless waves in motion, incredibly intimidating with an overpowering sense of pressure!

That was the sound of his blood and true essence surging within him!

With a buzz, the sacred realm emerged; infinite light flowed and enveloped Gu Chen's body, securely locking all traces of his vital energy within, without a single bit leaking out.

This was done not only to prevent any loss of his spirit and vitality but also to ensure that none of the energy within him seeped out.

Otherwise, if Gu Chen exerted even a little strength, even the well-forged secret chambers of the Jing Tian Department's headquarters would not be able to withstand it.

"Condense the Divine Intent, and let it be today!"

At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly let out a loud shout, like the great bell and drum used at dawn or dusk, akin to the chant of divinities, resounding through the boundless heavens!

Boom boom boom!

Between heaven and earth, three explosive booms resounded consecutively, reaching everywhere and making the whole world tremble.

The previously clear skies of Tiandu changed color in an instant; massive clouds appeared, enveloping the sky above the entire city.

But not just Tiandu — layer upon layer of leaden clouds gathered, with effects reaching far and wide, for hundreds of miles around. It was a tremendously astonishing phenomenon.

In the inner city of Tiandu, on the Star Gazing Platform of the Bagua Building of the Qintian Monitor, the white-haired, white-bearded Tower Supervisor suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Jing Tian Department, his aged eyes filled with both shock and intense joy. The joy was uncontrollable, gradually spreading across his face.

Inside the imperial palace, Emperor Ji Yuan emerged from the royal study with a shocked expression, staring at the sky. Even with his meager martial cultivation, he felt an incomparable heavenly might that stirred fear in his heart.

"What... what on earth is happening?" Ji Yuan asked with palpitations.

The eunuch Huang beside him also wore a panic-stricken face, equally clueless. Soon, due to the anomaly in Tiandu, all the martial arts experts in the palace gathered around Emperor Ji Yuan.

"Who can tell Us what exactly has transpired in Tiandu?!" Ji Yuan demanded, surveying his surroundings gravely.

A Grandmaster of the Innate Realm hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, bowing with a fist held to his chest and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, after sensing it, this servant has discovered that the source of this energy is likely at the Jing Tian Department."

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's heart leaped, and he quickly asked.

The one who had just spoken pondered for a moment, exchanged a glance with the others, and then said, "If our speculations are correct, the source of all this should be Marquis Wu'an, who is likely making a breakthrough in the Divine Intent Realm!"

"Gu Chen is about to break through to the Divine Intent Realm?!" With these words, Ji Yuan was utterly astonished, his face immediately filling with intense joy.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Grandmaster of the Innate Realm nodded. He was able to sense it because Gu Chen had released his breath, and now all the energies between heaven and earth were pointing there. After cross-verifying with each other, they had come to this conclusion.

"Go, send someone to spread this news." Ji Yuan forced himself to remain calm and gave orders to Eunuch Huang.

"This servant obeys the decree!" Eunuch Huang, with a face full of excitement, hurriedly ran out.

Soon, as the news spread, the citizens of Tiandu no longer panicked but instead showed thick astonishment and joy on their faces.

All of this was simply because they had learned that Marquis Wu'an, Gu Chen, the man they most respected, was now breaking through to the Divine Intent Realm!

With this news, Tiandu, which had only just calmed down, once again became boiling and incredibly stirred.
