Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Unappreciative fool!"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, the complexions of the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect instantly turned cold, as they rebuked, "The people of the world say you are the greatest talent of ancient and modern times, do you really think you are invincible?"

"Know this, above your head, there will always be a sacred land! The sacred land transcends all, capable of suppressing everything in the world!"

The third elder spoke with a cold gaze, "Young man, you're too arrogant. The sacred land's might presides over the world, suspended above the nine provinces for countless years, eternal and unperishing. Throughout the vicissitudes of the sea and fields, as generations of people come and go and dynasties crumble one after another, only the sacred land remains. Do you still not understand?"

"What should I understand?" Gu Chen's eyes grew intense, his robes fluttering, his entire being poised and ready to unleash its power.

The fifth elder said with a cold face, "You should understand that the sacred land is supreme! No one can oppose it, not in the past, nor in the future. We pity you, seeing your extraordinary talent, we cannot bear to strike you down harshly, so we give you a chance to mend your ways. You should know, countless people wish to join the sacred land but cannot; we've personally come to your door, you should appreciate this chance."

"Heh!" Gu Chen laughed upon hearing these words, but it was a cold laugh. He stared at the three people in front of him, saying, "So, you're giving me an opportunity and I should be grateful and weeping tears of joy?"

"You should indeed! What, do you want to be trapped in the nine provinces for a lifetime? Don't you understand the principle of a dragon trapped in shallow waters? The upper realm is vast and limitless, a world of great magnitude, filled with endless opportunities, countless powerful beings and legacies. There, that is where you belong. Even in the upper realm, the sacred land is extraordinary. With such an opportunity to rise, shouldn't you feel grateful?"

The third elder said smugly, "Gu Chen, you're a smart man. You should know which choice is the correct one. Do not deceive yourself; there's no need to gamble your future away."

"Oh? Based on your words, you can decide my future?!" Gu Chen sneered, standing proudly under the void, his figure tall and straight, his physique lean, his body shimmering with a brilliant light, appearing otherworldly.

The fifth elder narrowed his eyes slightly, saying, "Gu Chen, do you really think you can handle everything on your own? If the sacred land wishes something to be done, it will be done. Do you know, before long, a saintly figure from the upper realm will descend, and in front of such beings, what can you amount to? One of those beings could suppress everything in the nine provinces. Then you'll understand what true strength is."

"A Saint Son?" Gu Chen's brows furrowed immediately as he heard this.

Upon seeing this, the fifth elder smiled faintly, "Of course, it's not like you're completely without opportunities. Although you can't compare with saintly beings, if you're willing to join the sacred land, in the future you might have the chance to become the subordinate, or even the right-hand man, of such unparalleled geniuses—an opportunity countless people cannot beg for. You should treasure this. This is the greatest sincerity of the sacred land toward you."

"Become someone else's servant?" Gu Chen's expression instantly turned frosty, as he said coldly, "Don't even think about it! Do you think everyone is as slavishly obsequious as you?!"

"Insolent!" As these words were spoken, the complexion of the three elders immediately turned grim.

"We intended to give you a chance to reform, but unexpectedly, you are so stubbornly deluded, refusing to learn from your errors!" the Fourth Master chastised.

"It is you who are deluded! You take yourselves far too seriously. What's this sacred land? Nothing but a bunch of pitiful worms living in their own little world!" Gu Chen's gaze turned cold and indifferent, his aura growing ever stronger.

"Watch your words!" the fifth elder shouted coldly, their gazes turning even more ominous.

He looked around and said, "Do you really want to become completely hostile to the sacred land for these worthless mortals, forsaking your own future? Think about it, is it really worth it?!"

"In my eyes, these mortals, compared to you who arrogantly claim nobility but indeed lack any self-awareness or humanity, are a thousand, no, a million times more precious!" Gu Chen's words were powerful and resounding, instantly causing the complexions of the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect to turn as dark as the water.

"Obstinate and ignorant, holding the dignity of the sacred land in contempt, it seems we have no choice but to kill you. The upper realm, what it does not lack the most are geniuses!" The three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect grew furious, a startling murderous intent pouring from their bodies.

"The so-called Da Xia capital also has no need to exist anymore. Let this city, along with its millions of mortals, turn to ashes immediately!"

Clearly, they did not regard the lives of so many people highly, ready to commit a massacre in Tiandu, a plan they had conceived before their arrival.

"You dare?!" As these words came out, Gu Chen's eyes almost burst forth, his relatives, his friends, all were in Tiandu, he would not allow these three to proceed with their actions.

At the same time, these words also caused Gu Chen's killing intent to surge to its peak instantaneously!

"If you dare to act so, in the not too distant future, I will ascend to the sacred land and slaughter you, a group of beasts no better than dogs and pigs, clean!" Gu Chen's eyes flared with chilling light, his energy becoming somewhat intimidating.

At the same time, a sense of urgency also arose in his heart. Was the Tower Supervisor not ready yet?

"Audacious whelp!" As Gu Chen's words were spoken, the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect were immediately crowned with rage and uttered, "You dare utter such disrespectful words, do you really intend to declare war against the sacred land, a fight to the death?!"
