Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 786 - 555 The Secret of Divine Power_2

```

Those heroes, like the blazing suns hanging high above the skies of the Upper Realm, also waged wars amongst themselves. In fact, the struggles of the Upper Realm never ceased!

For only through such continuous conflicts could true strong figures be fostered, a notion unanimously acknowledged by all forces in the Upper Realms!

To tell the truth, Gu Chen also harbored a yearning for such a grand era; he aspired to enter the Upper Realm, to witness the so-called vast world with his own eyes, and to ascend to the absolute summit of martial arts, and even march onwards!

He yearned to exchange hands with the various geniuses and demons of talent, to validate all that he had learned!

Only by doing so, would his reborn life not be in vain!

If he were to lead an ordinary life, how could he justify his existence to himself?

This was the genuine sentiment buried deep within Gu Chen's heart.

Hence, for this very reason, Gu Chen longed to head to the Upper Realm!

Unfortunately, he still had many matters to attend to, the Nine Cauldrons had yet to emerge, and it would indeed be irresponsible to depart so abruptly.

After all, no matter how it was put, he rose to power in Da Xia, within the Jing Tian Department, and it was unreasonable to abandon everything upon his advancement, especially since many had extended their help to Gu Chen.

"Brother Zhen Yuan, I thank you kindly for your good intentions," Gu Chen spoke thus.

Upon hearing this, Brother Zhen Yuan understood that Gu Chen had unspeakable difficulties, and he ultimately found it hard to let go of everything in this land. He did not press further and said, "Brother Gu, should you have any thoughts, feel free to find me at the Infinite Path Sect."

"Certainly," Gu Chen nodded and formally expressed his gratitude, then proceeded to inquire about the situation in the Upper Realm from Brother Zhen Yuan.

"Brother Gu is actually interested in Divine Abilities?" At that moment, one of Gu Chen's questions surprised both Brother Zhen Yuan and Yuan Feng.

"Indeed," Gu Chen nodded. Having heard about it from Sun Yin of the Five Elements Sect not long ago, he had taken it to heart.

After pondering for a moment, Brother Zhen Yuan said, "Brother Gu, I would say that you should not aim too high. I don't mean any disrespect with this statement, not to mock you, but because Divine Abilities are not something you, or even I, can comprehend at the moment."

Yuan Feng also couldn't help but interject, "Brother Gu, you must understand that the ultimate techniques of the nine provinces are not considered much in the Upper Realm. Above these ultimate techniques, there exist all sorts of marvelous and sacred methods, immensely powerful. Above those are the Divine Abilities, the apex of the Great Dao, the path to the heavens. Only the Great Powers of the Upper Realm and figures of enormous influence can grasp them. These are far beyond us martial artists, exceeding the realm of martial arts by too much and are not within our reach for now."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Son of the Infinite Path Sect, Brother Zhen Yuan, also nodded in agreement. It was common knowledge in the Upper Realm that Divine Abilities were extraordinary.

Moreover, to most in the Upper Realm, Divine Abilities were far beyond reach, as they were the exclusive domain of the Great Powers and titanic figures!

Only by crossing that threshold could one be eligible to experience the mysteries of Divine Abilities which touched upon the very essence of the universe and the laws governing the cycle of all things, powers immeasurably vast.

For martial artists to covet a glimpse of Divine Abilities would be laughable in the Upper Realm, and they would be ridiculed by countless others for their ignorance.

"So it is, Brother Zhen Yuan, Brother Yuan Feng, thank you for enlightening me." Gu Chen nodded, realizing that Sun Yin had indeed been deceiving him that day.

At the same time, deep within his heart, Gu Chen's longing for Divine Abilities grew, and he thought to himself, "I wonder if the panel could deduce it?"

Of course, these were but his speculations. After all, as Brother Zhen Yuan had said, Divine Abilities were still too distant for him. They belonged to the exclusive domain of the titans of the Upper Realm, not something Gu Chen could delve into at the moment.

Aiming too high was not always a good thing.

Thereafter, Gu Chen also confirmed something with Brother Zhen Yuan, and that was whether ultimate techniques alone could not lead martial artists to break through to the Celestial Man realm and that they required techniques beyond the ultimate level to do so.

"Brother Gu, if you are willing to join the holy lands, I can give you the technique right now. But remember, you must not break through to the Celestial Man realm in the nine provinces, for given the current state of the nine provinces, if you were to break through in this shattered realm and ascend to the Upper Realm, even if your foundation does not crumble, you would still need a great deal of time to rebuild, which would have a significant impact," Brother Zhen Yuan cautioned very seriously.

"I understand," Gu Chen nodded, signifying his understanding, a sensation difficult to bear. If he could not break through to the Celestial Man realm in the nine provinces, how would he face the threats of demons and evil spirits?

"Ah, I also have the heavenly seed!" At this moment, Gu Chen had a moment of enlightenment, remembering the heavenly seed.

He might not need to rely on the world of the nine provinces to break through to the Celestial Man realm; relying on the heavenly seed would be sufficient!

"So, is this why the heavenly seed has been purifying my body every time I make a breakthrough, to compensate for my own 'deficiencies'?" At this moment, Gu Chen gained a sudden understanding of the reasons.

All along his journey, it could be said that Gu Chen relied heavily on the heavenly seed. This "seed" played an immensely significant role in his life.

"It just makes me wonder, would Brother Zhen Yuan's attitude change if he knew about the heavenly seed in me?" Gu Chen thought to himself, because the heavenly seed was incredibly extraordinary, not inferior to the Nine Cauldrons inheritance, both of which could be considered of the same caliber.

Nonetheless, Gu Chen remained grateful that Brother Zhen Yuan had shared so much with him that day. The Infinite Path Sect, Cloud Heaven Palace, and even the Sumeru Buddha Sect had never made a move against him.

At this point, Brother Zhen Yuan gave Gu Chen a look and said, "Brother Gu, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows rose slightly, and although somewhat surprised, he said, "Brother Zhen Yuan, please speak freely."

"That lady we just mentioned, is she your sister?" Brother Zhen Yuan suddenly asked.

At these words, Gu Chen's brows furrowed, puzzled as to why Brother Zhen Yuan would bring up Gu Qingyan, yet he nodded and replied, "Indeed, Brother Zhen Yuan, what about it?"

Brother Zhen Yuan smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "Brother Gu, do not misunderstand; I have no intentions towards your sister. I merely want to inform you that she has a rare Xuan Yin physique that comes around once in tens of thousands of years. If she were to cultivate, her progress would skyrocket."

"I am aware," Gu Chen responded, his expression calm as he nodded.

After a moment of contemplation, Brother Zhen Yuan added, "There is a sect in the Upper Realm called Frost Soul Sect, a holy land-level force extraordinary in its own right. Their techniques are highly compatible with your sister. Should you send her to the Frost Soul Sect, she could have a very high chance of becoming the next saintess."

"There's no need for that," Gu Chen shook his head, immediately rejecting the idea without a second thought, as he had indirectly asked Gu Qingyan before, and she had no desire to cultivate, wishing only to lead a normal life.

"I see," Brother Zhen Yuan nodded, somewhat regretful; it was astonishing that both Gu Chen and his sister possessed such extraordinary innate talents, truly like the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together.'

"In that case, Brother Gu, you must be cautious. The Xuan Yin physique is extremely extraordinary, and if others become aware of it, it will attract countless covetous eyes," Brother Zhen Yuan advised.

"I understand," Gu Chen nodded gravely.

Subsequently, Brother Zhen Yuan did not dwell on this topic any further and instead revealed his final objective for seeking Gu Chen that day.

"Brother Gu, as you know, we Holy Sons descend to the lower realm for the Nine Cauldrons inheritance. To be frank, I am planning to hold a gathering to bring together all the Holy Sons who have come down, to collectively deliberate on this matter. As the strongest of the contemporary era in the nine provinces, I hope Brother Gu will also attend," he said.
