Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Heavenly Origin Liquid, which can help cultivators nurture their physical bodies, enhance cultivation and spirit, and even proves unparalleled in healing. It can also be used in pill refining, offering a variety of benefits. Even for Heavenly Realm cultivators— those of the Great Powers level—it remains effective.

Gu Chen giving Gu Qingyan so much at once truly shocked her.

However, Gu Qingyan was also very smart and didn't ask any questions, knowing that this must be an opportunity gained from the ultimate inheritance site.

With these Heavenly Origin Liquids, Gu Qingyan's cultivation would undergo a rapid and substantial improvement in the short term.

Afterwards, they searched the surrounding area again and, having made some gains, they left the place, ready to meet up with Lu Mingyue and Mo Bai before heading back the way they came.

Soon, at the stele site, they reunited with Lu Mingyue, Mo Bai, and the others, who were all in good spirits, clearly having made significant gains as well.

Before leaving, they took one last look at the giant stele. At the very top, there were two names shining more brilliantly than even the sun itself.

They were Gu Chen and the Ice Emperor's.

Lu Mingyue, Mo Bai, and the people from the Frost Soul Sect were emotional as they realized that their journey to the extreme icy island had indeed been a witnessing of a miracle.

"The time has come, we should leave," said Gu Qingyan, leading everyone back to the Frost Soul Sect's great ship.

The extreme icy island opens once every three thousand years, but it only allows for a three-day exploration before it seals itself off again with a barrier engulfing it.

If one fails to leave at this time, they would need to spend three thousand years alone on the extreme icy island.

Quickly, they reached the shore of the island, boarded the great ship, and left the area, entering the lost zone.

The extreme icy island, forged out of ice crystals, also disappeared into the mist in an instant, vanishing from the sight of the people.

"It's over," Lu Mingyue said softly, her voice indicating that the once-in-three-thousand-years journey to the extreme icy island had come to an end.

On the return journey, in the lost zone, Gu Chen and his companions experienced several dangers, but fortunately, with accurate intelligence, they managed to turn peril into safety and passed through unharmed.

Thus, after spending some time, they arrived back at Han State and returned to the Frost Soul Sect's mountain gate.

"Big Brother, come back to the mountain and stay for a few days. Mom and Dad must miss you a lot since it's been so long since we've seen each other," Gu Qingyan's bright eyes looked at Gu Chen as she blinked.

"Alright," after a moment's thought, Gu Chen nodded in agreement.

This departure, after parting with his uncle and aunt, he didn't know when he would see them again, so he wanted to say goodbye in person.

Upon returning to the Frost Soul Sect, Gu Chen went back to his own residence, while Gu Qingyan and the others went to the main hall at the top of the mountain, forged from ten-thousand-year-old Profound Ice, to report the detailed situation to Sect Master Mu Han.

At that moment, in the grand hall, Sect Master Mu Han of the Frost Soul Sect, along with the high-ranking elders, were present, obviously having received news and waiting for Gu Qingyan and the others.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Gu Qingyan and her group stepped into the grand hall, many elders of the Frost Soul Sect immediately brightened up. With their strength and discernment, they could see at a glance the advancement of their disciples.

"Qinyan, did you successfully reach the Profound Ice Pool?" At this moment, Sect Master Mu Han, who had a cold temperament and skin as white as jade, spoke up, her eyes like icy ponds turned towards Gu Qingyan.

"Reporting to Master, all of this was thanks to Young Master Gu's help," Gu Qingyan replied.

Following that, they recounted the details of their adventure.

"Hiss!"

After listening, the Frost Soul Sect elders couldn't help but gasp, their shock clear for all to see.

"He actually reached the top of the Tian Yuan Stele, sharing the first place with the great being of the last era, the Ice Emperor?! " An elder with white hair couldn't believe what he was hearing, his face one of utter disbelief.

Although they were aware of the youth's extraordinariness when the Golden Ranking of the realm appeared and conveyed Gu Chen's name throughout the Gray Domain, ascending the Tian Yuan Stele was still a much more shocking event for them than making the Golden Ranking.

After all, the Golden Ranking benchmarks the young generation within a realm, which still pales in comparison to the likes of the Ice Emperor, a grand being from several eras ago.

Not just this elder, but everyone from the Frost Soul Sect, were utterly astonished upon learning that Gu Chen had reached the top of the Tian Yuan Stele, on par with the Ice Emperor, struggling to control their emotions before their disciples.

Even though the cultivation techniques they practiced allowed them to stay almost utterly calm, they couldn't help but react.

Even Sect Master Mu Han, the one with the highest cultivation in the Frost Soul Sect, had ripples stirring within her icy pond-like pupils, revealing the shock within her heart.

"I thought making the Golden Ranking was enough to prove the boy's extraordinariness, but I never imagined he could achieve such a level. From which hidden sect does he descend?" asked the Great Elder of the Frost Soul Sect, the old woman speaking out.

As she spoke, everyone looked towards Gu Qingyan standing beneath them, including Lu Mingyue and the others.

Upon seeing the reaction, Gu Qingyan first paused, then shook her head, saying, "This disciple also does not know."

She reacted promptly, knowing her brother had come to the upper world on his own without support. Since they were mistaken, she decided to let the misconceptions continue.

The Frost Soul Sect's Great Elder nodded, not finding it strange. After all, descendants of hidden sects venturing into the world typically carried out their sect's commands and were expected to follow certain rules, such as some sects explicitly prohibiting the mention of the sect's name or using its power during their time of trial.
