Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

At this moment, Yuwen Wind and others from the six great sacred places were looking at the two light and dark vortexes before them, their expressions tethered between astonishment and uncertainty. Where, exactly, had the Celestial Seed hidden itself?

Of these two vortexes, one led to the Celestial Seed, while the other to the boundless void. If someone were to step incorrectly and enter the boundless void, no matter who it was—even if it were Gu Chen—the very instant they entered, they would be torn to shreds by the void storm and wouldn't survive a moment longer.

It could be said that this was also a trial.

"You, and you too, go over there!"

At that time, Yuwen Wind's expression darkened. No longer willing to wait, he pointed to two martial artists, one from the Beidou Sect and the other from Qinglong Valley.

Since it was impossible to discern which vortex truly contained the Celestial Seed, Yuwen Wind decided to directly send people to probe it.

If they failed and died, so be it. All that mattered was successfully locating the Celestial Seed.

At this moment, the two martial artists who were pointed at by Yuwen Wind had their expressions change drastically – this was obviously no small matter. With a fifty percent chance of dying, who would dare to attempt it?

Seeing both hesitate and unwilling to move forward, Yuwen Wind said coldly, "I do not wish to repeat my words a second time. Either move forward willingly, or I shall cut you down right here!"

It must be said, Yuwen Wind's character was domineering to the extreme, ready to sacrifice lives without a second thought.

Without achieving his goal, Yuwen Wind would not rest.

Ouyang Yu from Burning Heaven Valley and Xi Mu from Mount Tianzhu were just as coldly staring at the two, their thoughts in alignment with Yuwen Wind's.

However, Xu Ya, Xuan One, and Lu Qing from Cloud Heaven Palace, witnessing this scene, began to show a frown of concern.

It was clear to see that the six great sacred places were not united as one; internal factions existed within them.

Mount Tianzhu, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, and Burning Heaven Valley comprised one faction, while the Vajra Buddhist Sect, the Infinite Dao Sect, and Cloud Heaven Palace belonged to another.

Of course, if the Celestial Seed were born into this world, when the struggle for the Celestial Seed arose, everyone would become enemies.

"You're not moving yet?"

Yuwen Wind's pupils flashed with a hint of ferocity, ready to end these two right then and there.

After all, in his eyes, the martial artists of Jiuzhou were no different from the barbaric natives—if they died, they died.

"You're going too far!"

Just then, Lu Xing and Bu Nantian stood up and positioned themselves in front of the two martial artists from their respective sects.

"Senior brother!" The two martial artists looked at Lu Xing and Bu Nantian with grateful expressions.

"Heh." A mocking smile appeared on Yuwen Wind's face as he said, "Want to play the hero? Fine then, you two can lead the way!"

Lu Xing and Bu Nantian had their expressions turn extremely grave, their cultivation brimming and ready to burst. When had they ever been subjected to such humiliation?

Yuwen Wind's gaze was full of amusement as he watched them, seemingly waiting for Lu Xing and Bu Nantian to make a move, not taking them seriously at all.

"Yuwen Wind, enough!"

At that moment, Xuan One couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to stop Yuwen Wind.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Wind replied with a cold face, "What? If they don't go, are you suggesting one of your Infinite Dao Sect's disciples should go explore instead?"

Just as Xuan One frowned and a dispute was about to erupt between the two, suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed. At the end of the ancient hall, from within the brilliantly glowing vortex, a dense surge of essence emerged like an erupting tide.

It was as though the gates of the immortal realm had been flung open, as the area was instantly filled with streaming radiance and a myriad of colorful essences sprouted forth unceasingly.

"It's there!"

At this moment, Yuwen Wind and the others confirmed that the Celestial Seed was definitely inside this vortex, for such a concentrated outpouring of the essence of heaven and earth could not be faked.

At this very moment, not just Yuwen Wind, but Gu Chen and Lin Bai also had their eyes blazing with passion, firmly fixated on that vortex that seemed like the gateway to the celestial realm.

"The supreme fortune and overwhelming opportunity should be mine!" Lin Bai murmured, his confidence soaring.

"The hope of breaking through to the innate realm." Gu Chen muttered as well, the ocean-like vigor of his blood lurking in his robust body, thoroughly primed for action.

"Everyone step back, anyone who dares to take another step forward, dies!"

At that moment, with a ringing sound, Yuwen Wind drew the superior-grade divine weapon he carried on his back, his gaze as sharp as his sword, as he fiercely warned everyone outside the six great sacred places.

At this moment, Lu Xing from Beidou Sect, Bu Nantian from Qinglong Valley, Xue Jingyun from Shenxiao Sect, and Xiang Yang from Zhenwu Gate—all had veins protruding on their foreheads from extreme anger.

Even Jingxuan from the Bodhi Zen Sect, normally a man of peace, felt the same.

Previously, Yuwen Wind had casually ordered them around, willing to use their lives to probe for the true location of a peerless treasure.

But now, having confirmed the location of the treasure, Yuwen Wind showed a different face, threatening them and forbidding them from getting anywhere close.

Were it not for the lack of strength and the need for restraint, Lu Xing, Bu Nantian, and others wished they could step forward and engage Yuwen Wind in a fierce battle, to thoroughly humiliate him.

However, at this moment, there was a figure who disregarded Yuwen Wind's warning, as well as the icy stares of Ouyang Yu and Xi Mu, walking to the very front to face the people of the six great sacred places head-on.

On the other side, seeing Gu Chen stepping out, Lin Bai, who had just moved a step forward, paused, watching this scene with great interest.

"Gu Chen!"

Seeing Gu Chen appear, Yuwen Wind couldn't help but laugh in his fury, saying, "Fine, I'll start by making an example out of you first!"

With a clang, at this moment, Yuwen Wind didn't hold back at all. Wielding his superior-grade divine weapon, he aimed a sword strike directly at Gu Chen.
