Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 925 - 34 Turmoil Arises in the Gray Domain_3

After listening, Gu Chen’s eyes flickered with a light that brightened and dimmed, unstable and uncertain.

"It’s worth going," he said to himself in his heart.

Whether it was to search for the remaining pieces of the broken jade or to seek resources to strengthen himself, Gu Chen had reasons to go.

Not to mention, this time his old rivals, Fu Ling, He Lianying, Xu Ziqing, and also Gu Yan, the Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, would be there.

Gu Chen had never forgotten what these people had done in the lower realm.

At that moment, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. How surprised would these "old acquaintances" be to see him?

Of course, Gu Chen would not reveal his true identity when going. If he went, he would only go as Gu Jiuge.

After satisfying his hunger, Gu Chen left the tavern and returned to the Frost Soul Sect.

"Young Master Gu."

"Young Master Gu."

Upon returning to the massive glacier of the Frost Soul Sect, countless disciples greeted Gu Chen with great respect; they had held him in awe ever since the battle that had taken place not long before.

Soon after, Gu Chen found Gu Qingyan and told her about his plans, also preparing to bid farewell, as his time at the Frost Soul Sect was quite long enough.

Moreover, he had gained a lot—his cultivation realm and divine abilities had increased significantly.

"Are you leaving?"

Upon hearing that Gu Chen was leaving, Gu Qingyan felt a deep sense of loss; after all, he was the only relative she had in the upper realm besides her parents.

However, Gu Qingyan also knew that Gu Chen could not stay at the Frost Soul Sect forever. As a person of such extraordinary talent like her big brother, the vast and boundless upper realm was his ultimate destiny.

"Will you be attending this gathering, Qinyan?" Gu Chen asked.

"No."

Gu Qingyan shook her head and informed Gu Chen that she too had heard the news. However, her trip to the Polar Ice Island had been fruitful, and the Xuanbing Pond had evolved her physique—she still had a great deal of Xuan Yin energy within her body that she had not yet refined.

Furthermore, she hadn’t had time to ponder the techniques she had obtained from the Heavenly Stele. Sect Master Mu Han had suggested she enter seclusion to properly consolidate her gains.

In just over two years, Gu Qingyan had come a long way from an ordinary woman. Her progress was so rapid that there was a risk that her foundation might be unstable. The trip to the Polar Ice Island with Gu Chen had brought her many benefits, so Mu Han planned to have her in seclusion for a while.

Moreover, the Sect Master of the Frost Soul Sect would personally guide Gu Qingyan.

This showed how much she valued Gu Qingyan.

Moreover, those attending the gathering were the most monstrously talented of the younger generation in the Gray Domain. Others would merely be cannon fodder. Having just entered the Heavenly Human Realm recently, Gu Qingyan knew well that if she went, she would undoubtedly need Gu Chen’s protection.

She did not wish for that.

"Alright then."

Gu Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this, understanding Gu Qingyan’s thoughts. After meeting with his aunt and uncle, he left the Frost Soul Sect the next morning.

"Big brother, goodbye!"

Gu Qingyan watched Gu Chen’s departing figure, gazing for a long time, her beautiful eyes filled with longing.

The upper realm was so vast, spanning three thousand six hundred domains. With this departure, she didn’t know when they would meet again.

"I believe that the next time we meet, big brother, you will have ascended to the Ninth Heaven and will be able to roam freely across this boundless upper realm. All across the three thousand six hundred domains, people will sing your name," Gu Qingyan stared in the direction Gu Chen had left, thinking silently in her heart.
