Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

Whoom!

The next moment, Tiandu trembled lightly as strands of bizarre and pure energy flowed out, coursing through Gu Chen's palm and into the old tree before him.

Whoosh!

In an instant, as the power of Tiandu surged in, the old tree began to glow, with waves of radiant light flickering.

At the same time, the magical fruits on the tree's crown began to grow visibly more robust and their luster became ever more vibrant.

That's right, Gu Chen was using the power of Tiandu to ripen the magical fruits!

After Tiandu has fully grown, it can nurture an entire world. Although the Tiandu within Gu Chen hadn't reached this stage yet, its heavenly rules were now fairly complete. At this moment, Gu Chen had only mobilized a trace of Tiandu's fundamental force into the old tree, yielding this gratifying outcome.

"The power of Tiandu is truly extraordinary," Gu Chen marveled. Using Tiandu, one can indeed accomplish many things. It truly deserves its reputation as a supreme treasure.

Soon, under Gu Chen's influence, within just a brief moment, all the magical fruits on the crown of the tree were ripe.

"Hmm, let me try one and see the effect." There were plenty of magical fruits on the tree's crown, more than enough even for those Da Xia's defenders to consume.

Seeing the magical fruits ripe, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile, picking one to taste.

The magical fruit was incredibly mild in flavor, melting immediately upon entering the mouth and turning into streams of coolness that nourished Gu Chen's spirit.

For a martial artist like Gu Chen, whose spirit had reached full maturity and could manifest in physical form, the magical fruit still had an effect, but it was minimal.

Swoosh!

The next moment, with a sweep of his palm, Gu Chen collected all the magical fruits from the tree into Tiandu.

"Why do I always feel like she deliberately led me here?" At this moment, Gu Chen thought of the mysterious woman again.

Despite lacking concrete evidence, Gu Chen simply had an inexplicable intuition about it.

Of course, it might also be that he was overthinking it; the mysterious woman might have just stumbled upon this place by chance and been tracked down by Red Dust Tower's people, who then informed Gu Chen.

However, there were far too many coincidences. Anyone else, Gu Chen might believe, but based on his understanding of the mysterious woman's abilities, the likelihood that Red Dust Tower could capture her movement so quietly seemed very low.

"Let's leave this matter for later. Regardless, this trip has been fruitful," a smile appeared at the corner of Gu Chen's mouth, clearly very satisfied with the outcome of his journey.

He had not only subdued Beidou Sect but also fully mastered the mysterious gauntlets. Moreover, he had achieved a transformation in his physical body, which could be considered a significant increase in strength.

And in the end, he had also obtained the magical fruits.

"Back to Tiandu!"

Gu Chen believed that after bringing these magical fruits back, whether it was Qin Wu, Emperor Ji Yuan, or anyone in Da Xia, they would all be thrilled upon hearing the news.

Even to say that once the news got out, it would set off a blast across Da Xia and even the entire world!

The unexpected emergence of eleven top-tier martial artists at the Divine Realm was not just talk. It could scare a lot of people and cause an earthquake in Kyushu!

After all, looking at the entire world today, aside from the six holy lands, there were no more than twenty top-tier martial artists at the Divine Realm.

Meanwhile, as Gu Chen left for Tiandu, news about him once again spread across the world like a hurricane!

Everything that had happened to Gu Chen on his journey to the Da Guangming Sect and other adventures, including his battle achievements of this period, were exposed by someone with an agenda and quickly swept through Kyushu.

The entire world was once again in turmoil because of one man, Gu Chen!

Da Guangming Sect, the Blood-Clothed Pavilion and the Solitary Souls, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, the top prodigies of Red Cloud Sect—all of it, every detail, was laid bare before the eyes of the world.

"No one would have thought that this Lord Gu, who had just been promoted to defender not long ago, would stir up such a commotion," someone remarked.

"Indeed, who would have thought that upon becoming a defender, Wu Anhou would immediately show his thunderous methods. In this battle alone, seven top-tier martial artists in the realm of Divine Unity were killed."

"Seven indeed, a full seven! And these were not ordinary Divine Realm practitioners but were all at the peak of Divine Unity, including three elders from the holy lands, whose strength could crush anyone under the same realm in Kyushu!"

"What's an elder from the holy land? Do you know that Beidou Sect nearly faced disaster this time, with their old sect leader almost dying? All this started because of a top prodigy from the upper realms, who possessed a legendary weapon, a rarity in Kyushu for quite some time. Yet, after a battle with Lord Gu Chen from Da Xia, he didn't even leave a whole corpse behind!"

"What?!"

"Is that so!"

Now, Gu Chen's exploits had become the talk of the entire world, known to everyone without exception.

The people of Kyushu were already aware of Gu Chen's strength and extraordinary talent, but he always managed to break their expectations and achieve what seemed unreachable to them.

Especially this time, Gu Chen had consecutively slain seven top-tier martial artists of the Divine Unity Realm at their peak, including three elders from the holy lands and a top prodigy from the upper realms. This was even more shocking!

And the news of the legendary weapon began to circulate throughout Kyushu. Nowadays, many are aware that even a top prodigy from upper realms with a legendary weapon couldn't defeat Gu Chen, but instead met his end and even had his weapon taken by Gu Chen.

For a time, countless eyes from all over the world were fixed on Gu Chen. The legendary weapons had long since vanished from Kyushu, and there was no one who wasn't curious or coveting them.

Even the six holy lands felt the same way!

In other words, the name "Gu Chen" once again set off a frenzy across the entire world, becoming the focal point of attention in Kyushu.

Even the second group of top prodigies that had crossed the barrier from the upper realm had grown quite curious about Gu Chen.

In the meantime, the ruthless slaughter that Gu Chen had carried out during this time further entrenched his reputation as a notorious slaughterer in everyone's minds.

People knew that with such actions, repeatedly opposing the holy lands and trampling on their dignity, the six holy lands could not possibly tolerate Gu Chen forever.

Moreover, many astute individuals understood that the person who leaked these incidents did not have good intentions and might be deliberately stoking the discord between the six holy lands, the top prodigies from the upper realm, and Gu Chen.

Now, everyone was very curious as to how the six holy lands would respond after this incident was exposed.

"Storm clouds are gathering, and a hurricane is upon us!"

Some discerning individuals had already sensed that soon, in Kyushu, there would be a titanic wave of troubles involving Gu Chen, the six holy lands, and those top prodigies from the upper realm.
