Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

Within them, the Grand Commander of the Jing Tian Department and the Master of the Mingjing Department were martial giants who had already transcended the Divine Realm.

Even without the Emperor of Da Xia, these two alone were sufficient to cement Da Xia's glorious and prosperous era.

For this reason, no one in the whole of the nine provinces dared to provoke Da Xia, which was the foremost power.

In the current nine provinces, the known supreme powerhouses above the Divine Realm, apart from the Grand Commander of the Jing Tian Department and the Master of the Mingjing Department, were only the Great High Priest Saranguis of the barbarian tribes and Shiba Shitu, the National Preceptor of Da Yuan Country.

Of course, the Six Great Holy Lands were not included in this account because for tens of thousands of years, they had remained aloof from worldly affairs, and although disciples occasionally traveled the world, senior powerhouses rarely appeared before the public eye, except for three hundred years ago when they annihilated the Six Union God Sect.

With four transcendent figures above the Divine Realm under the heavens, Da Xia possessed two of them, and one could imagine just how powerful Da Xia was twenty-three years ago.

As for the Emperor of Da Xia, even the Six Great Holy Lands had no way to contend with such a figure, who was at the pinnacle of martial arts.

King Huai spoke in a low voice, "Are you certain that the mysterious powerhouse possesses the cultivation of the Divine Realm?"

Nowadays, not to mention the Emperor, the Grand Commander of the Jing Tian Department and the Master of the Mingjing Department have been missing for many years, the National Preceptor Shiba Shitu of Da Yuan Country has always been in seclusion, and the Great High Priest Saranguis of the barbarian tribes was gravely injured by the Emperor of Da Xia twenty-three years ago and barely escaped with his life into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where he remains unable to leave.

Therefore, in today's nine provinces, warriors of the Divine Realm were revered.

For this reason, when it was learned that there might be four or even more warriors of the Divine Realm in the Six Union God Sect, King Huai was so shocked.

It was simply unthinkable.

Three hundred years were not enough for the Six Union God Sect to produce so many warriors of the Divine Realm.

Not to mention the current Six Union God Sect might very well also have warriors who have surpassed the Divine Realm.

This was a mystery. The reappearance of the Six Union God Sect in the jianghu was not as simple as people imagined.

Upon hearing this, the steward of Prince Huai's Mansion also hesitated, because the intelligence from Yan State also mentioned a suspected Divine Realm but did not confirm it completely.

Mr. Gongsun whispered, "Your Highness, being able to slaughter seven Innate Realm martial arts grandmasters with one's own power, including the existence of two great masters of Innate Realm full circle, even if this mysterious person is not of the Divine Realm, they are probably not far from it."

Upon hearing this, King Huai nodded slightly; even he was puzzled about where this mysterious powerhouse might have come from.

Such a level of strength is not something that can be achieved by hard cultivation alone; it is not possible that they would remain unknown, there ought to have been some rumors.

King Huai frowned thoughtfully; in the current situation of the nine provinces, the sudden emergence of a mysterious martial powerhouse was something even he did not know whether to consider good or bad.

But at the least, this figure was willing to act on behalf of Da Xia to repel the barbarians and the demon sect, which proved that they held some goodwill toward Da Xia.

Or it could be said that there had been some interaction between the two sides long ago.

Mr. Gongsun, standing behind King Huai, was full of yearning. That was the Divine Realm! Although Innate Realm martial arts grandmasters were revered by millions of martial artists, only they knew that at this level, one's journey in the martial path had only just begun.

The Divine Realm was the goal of all grandmasters of the Innate Realm, but regrettably, in today's nine provinces, there might not be one among ten Innate Realm grandmasters who could achieve the Divine Realm.

Otherwise, the Divine Realm would not be called the pinnacle of grandmasters.

"Your Highness, if we can draw this mysterious powerhouse to Da Xia, the help it would provide is immeasurable!" said Mr. Gongsun.

King Huai did not speak; he pondered with a frown, wondering where this mysterious powerhouse might come from.

…

The Prince's Mansion.

When the troubled Crown Prince received this news, he was so excited that he upset his chair.

"What did you say? Repeat it to me!" exclaimed the Crown Prince.

The companion of the Eastern Palace hadn't seen the Crown Prince this happy in a long while, so he repeated the intelligence report from Yan State once more. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"Good! Good! Good!" said the Crown Prince after listening, thrilled. He clenched his fist and exclaimed, "After this battle, the barbarian tribes will definitely be greatly weakened. Well done, Gu Chen! When he returns in triumph, I must reward him handsomely."

"Wait, do you think that the mysterious powerhouse could be the Emperor's contingency plan?" the Crown Prince suddenly asked.

That was a Divine Realm level martial powerhouse! Da Xia only had two, and upon learning that all four kings of the Six Union God Sect were at this level, the Crown Prince was extremely worried. For several days, he was troubled and couldn't even sleep properly.

He was terrified that the Six Union God Sect might invade Tiandu, and the millions of citizens would die as a result.

"This..."

The companion of the Eastern Palace hesitated, saying, "Your Highness, I do not know. His Majesty is not someone we can casually speculate about. However, no matter what, since the powerhouse was willing to act for Da Xia, at least they hold goodwill toward us."

"Right, you're correct. Whether it's the Emperor's contingency plan or not, as long as they maintain goodwill toward Da Xia, that's enough," the Crown Prince nodded repeatedly.

"Your Highness, should we investigate further?" asked the companion of the Eastern Palace.

"Absolutely not," warned the Crown Prince seriously. "If the mysterious powerhouse wishes to keep their identity secret, then let it be. Do not attempt to probe their background recklessly. If we were to offend them and they harbored ill will towards Da Xia, the consequences would be severe."

"You are right, Your Highness!" The companion of the Eastern Palace realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement at once.

At the same time, Qin Wu, the Deputy Commander of the Jing Tian Department, the four grand inspectors of the Mingjing Department, and indeed, the entire world, were shaken by this mysterious figure.

The nine provinces experienced a major upheaval at the emergence of a Divine Realm martial powerhouse, warranting such attention!

All over the nine provinces, regardless of the faction, even Innate Realm martial arts grandmasters could not stay calm.

The magnitude of this event was unprecedented, with everyone discussing the identity of this mysterious figure wrapped in divine flames, their words full of admiration.

The appearance of a top grandmaster of the Divine Realm had a profound impact on the current situation in the nine provinces.

Even the ruler of Da Yuan Country issued an order to halt all border skirmishes with Da Xia temporarily, waiting for the National Preceptor Shiba Shitu to leave his seclusion.

Once again, the nine provinces were thrown into turmoil because of Gu Chen, and this time, the waves caused by the event were without precedent compared to the last time when Gu Chen reached the Indestructible Vajra level.

And nobody knew that this mysterious powerhouse was Gu Chen himself.

At this moment, Gu Chen, having just left Yan State, was on his way back to Tiandu.
