Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

The Battle of Yan State was not only crucial for the fate of Da Xia, but it also concerned the future trends of the Nine Provinces. After all, this battle brought together the top forces from Da Xia, the barbarian tribes, the Demon Sect, and even those from the Jianghu. It would be difficult not to attract attention.

If Yan State were to fall, with the barbarian tribes breaking into the Nine Provinces, the entire current structure of the Nine Provinces would be set to change.

The fray in Yongxue City, DaHuang Mansion of Yan State, involving twelve innate realm martial arts grandmasters, was unprecedented since the Emperor of Da Xia had suppressed the world twenty-three years ago!

In Tiandu, atop the Bagua Building of the Qintian Monitor, the Star Gazing platform.

At this moment, an elderly man with a celestial bearing, sporting white hair and a white beard, sat cross-legged on the Star Gazing platform, gazing intently at the heavens.

Since the great battle of Yan State began, the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor had been using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill to predict the eventual outcome and trends of Yan State.

Until a certain moment, in the heavens above, among the stars that formed a scene of a pack of wolves hunting a dragon, the weakened true dragon suddenly let out a lofty dragon chant, and a surge of purple aura enveloped it. From the Tower Supervisor's perspective, the entire world seemed to be shaking violently.

The pack of wolves that had been surrounding the true dragon were visibly shaken, their expressions turning to fear as they continuously retreated.

Although the situation of the pack hunting the dragon still persisted, at least, the weakened state of the true dragon seemed to have recovered substantially.

This also meant that the national fortune of Da Xia had similarly begun to mend.

Seeing this scene, the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor allowed himself a slight smile, muttering to himself, "Success!"

Through the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, without anyone informing him, the Tower Supervisor already knew the outcome of the battle in Yan State at the first instance.

...

Within the inner city of Tiandu, at Prince Huai's Mansion.

At this moment, King Huai sat in front of his desk, his face etched with concentration, waiting for news from Yan State.

Ever since the situation in Yan State descended into complete chaos with the combined forces of the barbarian tribes and the Demon Sect attacking Yongxue City alongside the four local top forces, the expression of Da Xia's foremost prince had never once relaxed.

This was the third day that King Huai had been sitting there.

He was waiting for news from Yan State.

And behind King Huai, Mr. Gongsun, an innate realm martial arts grandmaster, stood guard without moving, providing close protection for King Huai.

"Your Highness, you haven't closed your eyes for three days and nights; perhaps you should rest a while?" Mr. Gongsun said with a worried tone.

After all, King Huai's health had always been fragile, and moreover, not being versed in martial arts, he was even less robust than the average person. Having aged, staying awake for three consecutive days and nights without food or water, Mr. Gongsun was naturally very concerned.

King Huai remained silent, still just sitting quietly.

Seeing this, Mr. Gongsun heaved a sigh. He knew that once King Huai had made up his mind, nobody could dissuade him.

Moreover, the battle of Yan State was of monumental importance, bearing an overwhelmingly huge impact on Da Xia. Even he, a warrior of the Jianghu, was fully aware that if Yan State fell, the dynastic fortune of Da Xia might very well come to an end.

With a heavy expression, King Huai had been contemplating all this time - if Yan State were to fall, how would Da Xia break the impasse.

This battle saw Da Xia deploying an enormous military force, greatly affecting the national destiny. Should Yan State fall, it's possible that all the powers across the world may rise in rebellion.

Just as King Huai felt a headache pondering this matter, an old servant from Prince Huai's Mansion suddenly rushed in.

"Your Highness, great joy, great joy!"

This old servant, who was the steward of Prince Huai's Mansion, was panting with excitement as he declared, "Your Highness, news from Yan State has arrived; we have achieved a grand victory in this battle!"

Upon hearing this, King Huai's eyes blazed, and he stood up in an instant, his fists clenched as he commanded in a deep voice, "Quickly, tell me the details."

"Yes!"

Then, the old servant conveyed every detail about the battle of Yan State that he had learned, leaving nothing out, for King Huai's complete understanding.

When hearing that Gu Chen alone had defended Yulong City and slain twelve thousand warriors of the barbarian tribe, even King Huai twitched his eyelids, clearly taken aback.

But that wasn't all; when he heard that a mysterious powerhouse enshrouded in divine flames stood under the sun, slaughtering seven innate realm martial arts grandmasters from the Yan State barbarians and the Demon Sect, King Huai, for the first time in history, showed a change in expression.

"Martial arts reaching divinity?!"

Even Mr. Gongsun, the innate realm martial arts grandmaster, could not help but exclaim uncontrollably.

With a somber expression, King Huai understood perfectly well what it meant for someone to be at the divine level in martial arts.

Ordinarily, those at the innate realm were powerful enough to stand above the billions of living beings in the Nine Provinces, with their factions regarded as top forces that could last for hundreds of years.

But the divine realm was even above the innate realm, with only two such individuals existing in Da Xia.

Martial artists at the divine realm were revered as pinnacle grandmasters, able to traverse the Nine Provinces unopposed.

As long as the six sacred lands did not emerge, divine realm warriors could virtually roam freely throughout the vastness of the Nine Provinces.

As for realms above the divine, such levels were elusive and immensely powerful, commanding the pinnacle of the world. Looking at the current world, there are only four known individuals of such caliber.

Twenty-three years ago, the reason why Da Xia managed to suppress the world, aside from the Emperor's unparalleled martial prowess, was also due to the inseparable involvement of the three leaders - the Commander of Jing Tian Department, the Tower Supervisor of Mingjing Department, and the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor.
