Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

The Pure Yang Vajra Body and the Great Void Dragon Scripture were the utmost essential teachings in all of Gu Chen's learning.

As Gu Chen's thoughts moved, 210 merit points vanished from the panel, and his Pure Yang Vajra Body directly advanced from minor achievement to major achievement.

Boom!

The moment the Pure Yang Vajra Body reached major achievement, martial experience flooded into Gu Chen's mind, while a majestic aura emerged around him, enveloping his entire being.

Contained within it was a trace of the true fire of the sun, refining Gu Chen's body.

Hiss!

Despite the true fire of the sun being exceedingly thin and not entirely pure, it was so scorching that it charred Gu Chen's flesh to a crisp, near carbonization.

Yet, in the next instant, life force surged forth, with rebirth found within destruction, and Gu Chen's charred body once again came to life.

This cycle repeated, nine times over, before finally coming to a halt.

This was the essence of the Pure Yang Vajra Body, refined with the true fire of the sun, cultivating an utterly indestructible Vajra body through cycles of destruction and rebirth.

Now, after the nine refinements, Gu Chen's flesh had reached a certain transpicuous extreme. A faint luster surrounded his body surface, as if a halo shrouded him, bestowing an aura of holiness and extraordinariness.

Surging vitality lay dormant within Gu Chen, with specks of shiny, crimson light shimmering in and out of his pores. Had Gu Chen not consciously suppressed it, the robust vital energy within would likely have overturned the secluded chamber, reaching for the sky.

Muscle, bone, and organ were all crystal clear, each of his internal organs glistening mysteriously, and Gu Chen's internal and external being became as one, a primordial unity. Having cultivated his body to such a level, one could say there was not a single so-called vital point, or weakness, left.

If Gu Chen wished, even a strand of his dark hair could be as sharp as a divine weapon!

At that moment, seeing the remaining 210 merit points on the panel, Gu Chen did not hesitate to also elevate his Great Void Dragon Scripture to the level of major achievement.

Rumbling!

As if a fish leaped through the dragon's gate and the gate of immortals opened wide, beams of light like feathers spurted behind Gu Chen, falling upon him. At that moment, he seemed to receive divine assistance, his Qi skyrocketing, nearly collapsing heaven and earth!

With the Great Void Dragon Scripture at major achievement, Gu Chen's combat power could instantly double!

Whether it was Gu Chen's physical body, his consciousness, or even his speed and reactions, it was all the same!

This was an overall instantaneous enhancement, indeed astonishing.

"With this secret technique aiding me, within the realm of divine comprehension, I'm nearly invincible," Gu Chen's eyes glinted as he murmured softly to himself.

Of course, he did not underestimate the heroes of the world because of this. Among those who had reached divine comprehension in martial arts, not one top grandmaster was to be trifled with. To reach this level, whether in terms of temperament or talent, each was exceptionally rare.

Even Gu Chen couldn't be sure what opportunities such men might have or whether they concealed their strengths.

Therefore, when he said he was "nearly" invincible, it also represented Gu Chen's profound self-confidence!

"The further one progresses in martial arts cultivation, the more merit points are required. I have a premonition that reaching the great fulfillment of the divine comprehension realm will require a terrifying amount of merit points," Gu Chen frowned slightly.

Setting aside advancing his cultivation level, even for martial arts, Earth Grade martial skills might be powerful, but the merit points required to elevate them were extremely significant.

"Six Union God Sect, you'd better not disappoint me, the Four Great Law Kings? Heh!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Gu Chen's lips, but it carried a chill, causing the temperature of the entire chamber to drop significantly.

After his strength had improved, Gu Chen was itching for a challenge, curious to see just how formidable these so-called Four Great Law Kings truly were.

The current Gu Chen was radically different from before when facing the leader of the Red Flame Demon Sect meant a narrow escape from the brink of death.

Times have changed, these four words were the best interpretation of the current Gu Chen.

"It's time to leave seclusion," Gu Chen stood up, and instantly, a thunder-like crackling emanated from his body. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

At this moment, his physique was like jade, his stature tall and straight, with his hair cascading down his back. His presence was commanding, his eyes sparkling more brilliantly than the stars in the sky, as if he could rival the sun.

The powerful pressure from his robust physique made ripples in the void as he moved. The heavens and earth around him hummed faintly.

Without any outward release of Qi, merely the natural state of his corporeal existence exerted such oppressive force that it could be said without exaggeration—without lifting a finger, a grandmaster of the innate realm would be unable to stand it. They would be forced to kneel on the ground, or even have their bodies explode outright.

With his keen awareness, Gu Chen also perceived this circumstance. He slightly furrowed his brow and consciously restrained his physical body, and everything returned to normal.

"Perhaps, the so-called ancient gods and demons were martial artists or cultivators who, due to ascension in realms and the transformation of their life's essence, were mistaken by others as gods and demons," Gu Chen pondered aloud.

Based on his current condition, Gu Chen made this reasonable speculation.

Afterward, Gu Chen returned to the Gu Mansion for a meal with his uncle's family.

As Gu Chen's fame soared, so did the status and identities of his uncle Gu Chengfeng, his aunt Xu Qinge, and his sister Gu Qingyan in Tiandu.

Uncle Gu Chengfeng no longer had to attend his duties. Even if he stayed at home all day, no one would say anything. The salary would continue as usual, and even the welfare benefits remained unchanged.

Aunt Xu Qinge joined the circle of noble ladies in Tiandu, occasionally going out with the wives of the great officials and nobles of Da Xia. Not only was there no need to spend money, but each time she would receive plenty of flattery and gifts.

The same was true for Gu Qingyan. The offspring of these powerful figures, regardless of gender, also wanted to establish connections with her. However, Gu Qingyan was not very interested and often stayed at home.

Even the status of the servants in the Gu Mansion rose with the tide.

The following day, an Imperial Eunuch suddenly arrived at the Gu Mansion to find Gu Chen and delivered an invitation to him.

"Marquis of Wu'an, His Majesty sent me to tell you that tomorrow King Huai will host a banquet in the palace to entertain external guests, the so-called talents from the upper realms. His Majesty will also attend. He is concerned that King Huai may have some plots afoot, so he sent me to inform you, Marquis, and asks that you also attend tomorrow."

"Oh? King Huai is hosting a banquet for talents from the upper realms?" Gu Chen's brows rose as he nodded and said, "Return and tell His Majesty that Gu Chen will surely arrive on time tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Seeing Gu Chen's agreement, the Imperial Eunuch's face lit up with joy. He took a carriage back to the Imperial Palace, ready to convey the news to Emperor Ji Yuan.
