Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"About this matter, I think we should inform Master," Gu Qingyan's pretty face was extremely solemn.

Gu Chen didn't speak; this was something Gu Qingyan needed to ponder herself. Then, he said, "Find an opportunity. I want to visit Uncle and Auntie."

He couldn't just go there directly. With his identity as Gu Jiuge, there wasn't any particularly good reason to approach Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge.

But at that moment, Gu Qingyan said, "It's alright. As soon as my parents hear of my Awakening, they will hurry over. We can meet here."

"Good!" Upon hearing this, Gu Chen also became somewhat excited.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Uncle Gu Chengfeng and Auntie Xu Qinge hurried over. However, when they saw Gu Chen, they were all taken aback.

Having not seen them for more than two years, Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge not only didn't look older but had become even younger after arriving in the Upper Realm.

Especially Auntie, who was so well maintained that if others saw her, it wouldn't be too much to say she was Gu Qingyan's sister.

"You... you..." Upon seeing Gu Chen, Uncle Gu Chengfeng and Auntie Xu Qinge were both stunned. Looking at the Gu Chen who seemed entirely unfamiliar, for some reason, they felt a connection deeper than blood.

Gu Qingyan stayed silent at the side. She believed that, even with a changed appearance, her parents would recognize Gu Chen.

"Elder... Elder Brother?" Almost in a dreamlike murmur, Gu Chengfeng looked bewildered and uttered these two words.

As Gu Chen's uncle, his feelings were the most intense. After facing each other directly, he couldn't help but speak out.

"Is it really Elder Brother?" Auntie Xu Qinge's eyes brimmed with tears; thinking of Gu Chen had already brought her to the verge of crying.

"Uncle, Auntie..." Reuniting once more, Gu Chen was filled with tremendous emotion. Though his spirit was resilient, unyielding like his, at this moment his voice trembled involuntarily.

In a pair of profound eyes, glimmers shone like a thousand ripples surging within.

"Is it truly Elder Brother?" During this period, Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge dreamed of Gu Chen, never imagining that this day would indeed come.

Gu Chengfeng's eyes reddened, tears streaming down, while Auntie Xu Qinge couldn't hold back her soft sobs. The family reunited, having waited for this day for a full two years!

"As long as you're safe, as long as you're safe..." Uncle Gu Chengfeng murmured, eyes wet with tears. He kept repeating these four words, just as in the days when Gu Chen was in the Jing Tian Department, returning from missions.

Seeing this scene unfold, Gu Qingyan's eyes also welled with tears, her lovely red lips pressing tightly together, unwilling to make a sound and disturb the moment.

Subsequently, Gu Chen recounted the situation to his uncle and auntie. He couldn't meet with them often; otherwise, those with ulterior motives might grow suspicious.

After all, in the Upper Realm, he had many enemies. If discovered, Uncle's family would certainly be in grave danger.

Indeed, Gu Chen had confirmed that the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty was tainted by evil demons; they would surely stop at nothing in their actions. If they knew he had come to the Upper Realm, to oppose him, Uncle's family would also be engulfed in peril.

Gu Chen only hoped that his second uncle, his aunt, and his cousin, Gu Qingyan, could always lead such a peaceful life.

As for everything happening in the outside world, he would naturally take care of it, and the Frost Soul Sect was also very safe.

Gu Chengfeng's family of three, of course, understood his concerns and had no objections.

For them, knowing that Gu Chen was doing well and being able to see him occasionally was enough.

Then, in order not to arouse suspicion, Gu Chen chatted with his second uncle and the others for a while before leaving and returning to his own residence.

Soon, a few more days passed, and Gu Qingyan's injuries were finally completely healed.

One day, she came to Gu Chen's residence, found Gu Chen, and said, "Big brother, three days from now, we will be heading to Polar Ice Island. At that time, you should also come with us."

"Polar Ice Island?" Gu Chen's eyebrows shot up. He had heard of this place, but didn't know much about it.

At this moment, Gu Qingyan began to explain that in the time that had passed, the conflicts between the Frost Soul Sect, Night Spirit Valley, and Wind Gate had become extremely intense. Moreover, with Gu Chen's warning, the Frost Soul Sect had become very cautious, causing Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate to suffer losses and reversing the downturn.

However, just yesterday, people from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty appeared and communicated with the Frost Soul Sect, hoping that in the upcoming opening of Polar Ice Island, the Frost Soul Sect could give up some spots to allow members from Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate to attend.

It seemed like a negotiation, but in reality, to a certain extent, the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty was also exerting pressure. After all, considering the Frost Soul Sect's current situation, if they refused, it would offend the Imperial Dynasty. With its support, Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate would become even more unrestrained.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Sect Leader Mu Han had no choice but to agree. At the same time, upon Gu Qingyan's suggestion, they were also willing to have Gu Chen accompany them.

"What kind of place is this?" Gu Chen asked.

Gu Qingyan began to introduce, "Polar Ice Island is a mysterious place that opens once every three thousand years. It contains many opportunities. It is said that our Frost Soul Sect's founding patriarch stumbled upon Polar Ice Island and obtained a legacy there, which led to the establishment of the Frost Soul Sect."

The founding patriarch of the Frost Soul Sect was the most powerful figure in the history of the sect, with terrifying strength and extraordinary abilities. You wouldn't find his equal easily in the three thousand six hundred realms of the upper world!

It was a place of mystery, opening only once every three thousand years. It was also a blessing for the Frost Soul Sect. Every time Polar Ice Island opened, the sect would send people to explore it, hoping to find rare heavenly and earthly treasures that were uncommon in the outside world.

Moreover, it was rumored that the island might belong to a supremely powerful force from a bygone civilized era. It contained various mysteries and legacies. The last time Polar Ice Island opened, the Frost Soul Sect excavated a divine technique from it that excited the entire sect.

Even the strongest heart-method of the Frost Soul Sect came from Polar Ice Island. It could be said that even in the upper world, Polar Ice Island was an exceptionally extraordinary place.

If it weren't for the fact that the Frost Soul Sect was once a behemoth, a giant in the upper world, it would have been impossible to control Polar Ice Island for such a long time.

Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate had joined forces to confront the Frost Soul Sect, mainly because they coveted Polar Ice Island.

That was also the reason behind the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty's intentions.

At this moment, Gu Qingyan's expression became somber, and she spoke in a serious tone, "According to the master, the deeper areas of Polar Ice Island contain many places that even our Frost Soul Sect hasn't been able to fully explore over the years. Even the patriarch himself once said that Polar Ice Island contains great secrets. What he acquired was just a small corner, or perhaps just a drop in the ocean. The master speculates that the island may contain some kind of forbidden legacy, powerful enough to elevate a cultivator to transcendence and sainthood!"
