Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Saint Hua City is the premier city of the spiritual realm, grand and majestic, sprawling over a vast territory, far surpassing Jitian City, where Qingyun Academy is located—it is the sum of many cities combined.

And within Saint Hua City, the foremost establishment is the Moon Hua Tower, a place that would truly be described as frequented by the learned and the elite, with no common folk to be seen.

Only those with a certain status could enter the Moon Hua Tower; if it were not for the guarantee by Yun Zishu, who came from the ancient family of the spiritual realm, Gu Chen would have been absolutely unable to gain entry.

The Moon Hua Tower, being the most famous establishment within the spiritual realm, has nine floors, and only those of the Heavenly realm and titans of great powers could access the ninth floor.

At this moment, Gu Chen was led by a beautiful attendant toward the eighth floor, to the most spacious room there.

As soon as he entered, he saw that not far away, on a high platform, the sound of strings and woodwinds was unending; eight gorgeous maidens moved gracefully along with the music, flaunting their proud figures with enticing curves.

Not only that, but beneath the platform was a White Jade Wine Table surrounded by mist, alongside a spiritual lake and waterside pavilion, making one feel as though they stood within an immortal domain.

"Are you Gu Bai?"

A voice echoed from afar; at the White Jade Wine Table sat a handsome man with an arrogant gaze and exceptional demeanor, clad in Morning Star Ancient Clothing, who now turned his attention from the dancing maidens to him.

"This is my young master, the direct disciple of the Seven Stars Sect, a leading figure among the younger generation, Lu Xin," the charming and sweet attendant by Gu Chen's side introduced.

The Seven Stars Sect was also a colossus of power, immensely strong and famous throughout countless domains of the upper realm; even compared to the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, they were hardly inferior.

Lu Xin was the most outstanding prodigy of this generation within the Seven Stars Sect, a notable figure on the Dao Gold List, and one of the favored talents for the trial in the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, as well as for Princess Xidie's selection of a suitor.

For Lu Xin, being named on the Dao Gold List was different from Yun Zishu.

For some, being named on the Dao Gold List is an end goal, but for others, it's merely a beginning.

There is no doubt that Lu Xin, the direct disciple of the Seven Stars Sect, belongs to the latter group.

"Lu Xin, a direct disciple of the Seven Stars Sect, known throughout the hundred domains?" Gu Chen whispered to himself.

Before arriving in the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu had briefed Gu Chen on who to pay attention to during his visit.

The Lu Xin that now stood before him was indeed on that list.

To be renowned in a hundred domains was a fearsome record, signifying that Lu Xin had conquered at least a hundred different realms, defeating many listed on the Dao Gold List, and was second to none, with an impressive trail of victories, even extremely powerful!

As for being invincible across a hundred domains, that was much harder, some might say unrealistic; if a cultivator truly achieved such a feat, they would almost be on par with the strongest prodigies of the upper realms, such as those from the top ten races and other exceptional beings.

It's a goal that seems within reach but is very difficult to achieve.

Besides Lu Xin's personal extraordinary talents and the backing of the Seven Stars Sect, another important point was that the Seven Stars Sect was a subordinate power to the undying level doctrine of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, which was all the more astonishing!

Because, once one offended the Seven Stars Sect, there was a great possibility that it also meant crossing the Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

Conversely, if one made connections with the Seven Stars Sect, it might be possible to ride the dragon and follow the phoenix, and establish ties with the legendary Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

Therefore, the Seven Stars Sect commanded awe from creatures and powers throughout the upper realm, and no one was willing to provoke them.

With such a background, coupled with Lu Xin's personal talent and achievements, he earned his place in the eighth layer of the Moon Fairy Tower.

"Why are you still standing there, invite Young Master Gu to take a seat," said Lu Xin, with his handsome features and proud eyes, speaking indifferently.

"Young Master Gu, please," the attendant beside Gu Chen urged, promptly leading Gu Chen toward the White Jade Wine Table.

Gu Chen did not refuse, but instead followed along smoothly.

The reason for his presence here was because, before leaving, Yun Zishu had informed Gu Chen that obtaining a spot in the ancestral land, even if personally facilitated by Princess Xidie, was immensely difficult.

It would even offend numerous ministers and powers, inevitably leading to troubles knocking at his door.

And these troubles could only be resolved by Gu Chen himself; no one else could help him.

"So, is this the trial that the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty has set for me?" thought Gu Chen, yet he remained calm, his eyes deep and undisturbed.

To enter the ancestral lands, Princess Xidie could secure a spot for him, but whatever ensued because of this spot, or whether it could ultimately be preserved, was all up to Gu Chen.

Even Yun Zishu had mentioned that many powers harbored thoughts towards Princess Xidie, and they would inevitably come to visit.

He had been prepared for such scenarios, only he hadn't expected them to arise so swiftly, facing them on his very first day in Saint Hua City.

Moreover, this person was none other than Lu Xin, the most coveted figure at the moment when the ancestral lands were open.

"Come, serve Young Master Gu some wine." Once Gu Chen had taken a seat, Lu Xin smiled faintly and ordered the two servants behind him.

"This humble servant, Red Phoenix, greets Young Master Gu." At that moment, an alluring, sticky-sweet voice reached their ears, instantly tickling their hearts.
