Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

In the inner city of Tiandu, at the Qintian Monitor, atop the star-gazing platform of the Bagua Building.

The white-bearded, white-haired Tower Supervisor sat cross-legged here. At this moment, his body shimmered with starlight; waves upon waves of this sparkling light rippled through the air, converging in the half-sky to form a massive array diagram, its endless luminescence illuminating heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Tower Supervisor, who was regarded by the people of Da Xia as an old immortal, wore a stern expression, his white hair flowing in the breeze as he exerted himself to use the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill.

Boom!

The next instant, the Tower Supervisor's body shuddered. After dozens, even hundreds of prognostications, he finally succeeded.

"Has he already broken through to the Communicating Spirit realm?"

The Tower Supervisor paid no attention to the trickle of fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his withered eyes flashing with shock.

Gu Chen disappeared, the visitors from beyond their region descended, the celestial fate of the nine provinces was in disorder, and the Tower Supervisor, despite being injured, kept using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill to prognosticate. Ultimately, after Gu Chen reappeared and resolved the situation in Youzhou, far away in Tiandu, the Tower Supervisor also foresaw it all.

This is the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, this is a supreme technique!

After his shock, a trace of comfort appeared in the old eyes of the Tower Supervisor. Although he was well aware of Gu Chen's talent and destiny, it still came somewhat unexpectedly that Gu Chen would break through so rapidly, achieving the position of a top-ranking grandmaster in the martial arts of the Communicating Spirit realm.

"With the destiny of a true dragon, rising against the current, surely, it won't be long until he surpasses me," the white-haired Tower Supervisor muttered to himself.

He had also observed Gu Chen's resilience, like a spring; the greater the pressure from the outside world, the stronger the rebound would be in the end.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Without the pressure brought on by Huo Ke, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to break through to the Communicating Spirit realm and become a top-ranking martial arts grandmaster of the nine provinces.

Given Gu Chen's pace and the changing circumstances of the vast world outside, the Tower Supervisor had already determined that it wouldn't be long before Gu Chen reached his own level.

"Once you enter the Communicating Spirit realm, there will only be a few in the whole nine provinces who can threaten you," the Tower Supervisor said softly with a smile.

From now on, the burden on his shoulders would also be much lighter, as he no longer had to take on the whole of Da Xia by himself.

At the same time, the Tower Supervisor looked up and noticed that the situation of the wolves hunting the dragon had once again changed.

It wouldn't be long before the true dragon hunted the pack of wolves, eliminating these rebels one by one.

"As of today, the great calamity of the nine provinces has finally ushered in a real chance of survival."

The Tower Supervisor gazed at the sky, having foreseen the great tribulation coming soon through the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill. Though the situation was still grim, with only a sliver of hope, there was, after all, hope.

...

Three days later, at the headquarters of the Jing Tian Department in the inner city of Tiandu, Qin Wu also received intelligence sent by the governor of Youzhou.

He looked at the letter in his hand, a trace of a smile emerging on his stern face, which then grew wider and wider until Qin Wu could no longer contain the joy in his heart and he burst out laughing loudly.

The one who had delivered the message was a Heaven-ranked Commander of the Jing Tian Department with innate realm powers. Seeing this, the Heaven-ranked Commander was also somewhat confused, not understanding why Qin Wu had suddenly become so happy.

It was known that since learning of Gu Chen's death some time ago, this Qin Command had been cold-faced every day, with an unwelcoming and indifferent demeanor, very serious. No one expected that upon receiving a dispatch today, he would burst into such hearty laughter.

"Qin Command, is there some good news?" the Heaven-ranked Commander asked.

Such highly confidential intelligence was only for Qin Wu to receive. Even though he was a grandmaster of the innate realm and a prestigious Heaven-ranked Commander of the Jing Tian Department, without Qin Wu saying so, he was not entitled to view it.

"Do you know where this message is from?" Qin Wu's face was still smiling; it was clear that he was indeed very happy.

"I don't know."

The Heaven-ranked Commander shook his head. With monsters and demons appearing in all parts of the world, frequent reports of battles and various messages were sent to the Jing Tian Department, so he really couldn't guess at the moment.

"This is news sent to me from Youzhou," Qin Wu said with a beaming smile.

"Youzhou?"

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-ranked Commander was taken aback at first, then he vaguely guessed something, but the thought was so astonishing that, to be honest, he dared not believe it.

Therefore, he looked towards the top seat's Qin Wu, probing, "Qin Command, could it be...?"

"That's right, just as you're thinking!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Wu interrupted him and said with a laugh, "News from Youzhou states that not only is Gu Chen not dead, but he has also achieved martial arts divinity and become a top-ranking grandmaster. In a single battle, he even annihilated Ling Yun Valley and settled all the turmoil in Youzhou. Tell me, shouldn't I be happy?

Not just me, but the whole of Da Xia and even the nine provinces will be stirred because of it!"

Qin Wu's words resounded with conviction.

"Marquis Wu'an has entered the realm of Communicating Spirit?"

Upon hearing the news that he had achieved martial arts divinity, become a top-ranking grandmaster, and wiped out Ling Yun Valley, the Heaven-ranked Commander with innate realm powers stood dumbfounded.

"As far as I know, the old Valley Master Huo Ke of Ling Yun Valley is a late-stage Communicating Spirit realm top-ranking grandmaster. Even if Marquis Wu'an has achieved divinity, how could he be a match for Huo Ke?" the Heaven-ranked Commander asked anxiously.

He was desperate to know it all.

Qin Wu laughed heartily, "Gu Chen is the first martial prodigy in the history of the nine provinces. Don't judge him by common sense. How long has it been since he reached the innate realm? Now he has achieved martial arts divinity. Do you think, compared to this, it's surprising that he killed Huo Ke? It's a matter of course!"
