Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

Soon, after having finished explaining everything, Chu Yue Ling, like the Fairy of the Moon riding the wind, left the place.

"Big brother, why did she leave? Why didn't you invite her to stay for a meal?" At this moment, after witnessing Chu Yue Ling's departure, Uncle Gu Chengfeng and his family quickly came out and began to chide Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, upon hearing this, felt somewhat helpless and said, "Uncle, Auntie, her status is extraordinary; she couldn't be detained."

"What do you mean, she can't be detained wherever she wants to go? What kind of status does she have, could it be..." Stopping here, Uncle Gu Chengfeng and Aunt Xu Qinge opened their mouths in surprise and exchanged glances.

Due to their relation as Gu Chen's elders, they were somewhat aware of the rumors from the upper realm, and hearing Gu Chen's words, they instantly understood Chu Yue Ling's identity.

"You, young man, have done well to even engage in conversation with a 'fairy' for so long!" Uncle Gu Chengfeng said with a playful laugh.

Gu Chen, hearing this, immediately shook his head and smiled wryly. Indeed, before Chu Yue Ling had left, she had asked him if he had any concerns, she could take Uncle Gu Chengfeng's family to the upper realm.

Moreover, Gu Qingyan could also join the Taoxu Road as a result.

In doing so, Gu Chen would have no further worries and could fight the demons and ghosts with his back to the river.

But after much reflection, Gu Chen still declined.

It was not that he distrusted Chu Yue Ling and the Taoxu Road. Knowing that joining the Taoxu Road and receiving its protection would be a lifelong wish fulfilled for countless beings in the upper realm, and that Uncle's family would be absolutely safe, was not the issue.

Gu Chen was clear on all of these points, and this method was indeed very good. However, he refused because he knew that Uncle's family of three would never leave.

Just like he wouldn't abandon Uncle and venture to the upper realm, Uncle Gu Chengfeng's family felt the same.

Even if they knew of such thoughts, they might even scold Gu Chen a great deal.

Therefore, after considering all factors, Gu Chen still refused.

At night, after having dinner with Gu Chengfeng and the others, and getting his uncle drunk, Gu Chen returned to his own room as if nothing had happened.

Gu Chen flipped his palm and took out the jade slip that the holy maiden of the Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, had given him during the day. When he had received it, he had briefly investigated it, finding that it was an extremely astonishing martial art.

No, it shouldn't be called martial art, as it had completely surpassed the realm of martial arts and couldn't even be compared to secret techniques.

The profoundness of this technique was something Gu Chen had only seen in his life and even suspected that, even in the upper realm, it would be quite extraordinary.

After all, coming from the hands of the holy maiden of the Taoxu Road, how could it be ordinary?

At this moment, Gu Chen sent his divine intention into the jade slip to begin a detailed examination.

Due to the profound nature of the material, even Gu Chen spent a good half an hour memorizing it all, deeply imprinting it into his mind.

As his divine intention withdrew from the jade slip, the slip in his hand turned to dust, transforming into beams of light that dispersed into the heavens and earth.

"It seems that this method must be quite exceptional even within the Taoxu Road," Gu Chen mused to himself.

Otherwise, they would not have used a one-time jade slip like this; clearly, this method involved very significant matters.

In fact, after gaining a detailed understanding, Gu Chen felt the same way.

"The upper realm is indeed amazing to possess such a mystical method," Gu Chen thought more on it, finding it all the more extraordinary.

What Chu Yue Ling had given him was a remarkable method that could help him refine an external incarnation!

That method was extremely precious even in the upper realm and was a secret transmission within the Taoxu Road!

"Why would she give me such a method for refining an external incarnation?" At this point, Gu Chen raised an eyebrow in puzzlement and incomprehension.

```

This technique had no distinct realm divisions and was quite special, like a sort of secret art. Once mastered, one could condense an outer body incarnation, which was one with one's own being, yet distinct.

However, to cultivate this technique, one's starting realm had to at least be in the Heavenly Realm.

Which meant, with Gu Chen's current cultivation realm, even if he wanted to cultivate it, he just couldn't.

Since that was the case, it had to be set aside for the time being, yet the profound mysteries within opened Gu Chen's eyes.

"The Upper Realm, I will go there!" Gu Chen's eyes shone with unwavering determination as he gazed into the distance.

In the following period, Gu Chen stayed in Tiandu, spending each day with his second uncle's family, while the puppets refined through the Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method roamed the world, hunting demons and spirits for him, and searching for soul crystals.

To stand against Dugu Yun, Gu Chen would at the very least need to reach the great completion of the Divine Intent Realm; otherwise, his defeat was a certainty.

At the same time, Gu Chen had a premonition deep in his heart that it might not be long before the leader of the demon sect, Dugu Yun, would emerge!

...

In Yangzhou, within the underground palace of the Six Union God Sect headquarters,

Dugu Yun, sitting on a grand throne, suddenly opened his eyes. It was as if a flash of dark lightning illuminated the earth, and an indescribable pressure filled the space.

"Almost there. After more than three hundred years, is my cultivation finally coming to fruition?" Dugu Yun, the sect leader, muttered to himself. At this moment, dark demonic patterns appeared on his face, making his whole appearance sinister and fierce.

Especially his utterly dark eyes, not a hint of white to be seen, paired with his current appearance, all the more terrifying.

"More than three hundred years of patience, at this moment, can finally be unleashed!"

In the more than three hundred years since he had arrived in this world and possessed the body of the demon sect leader, Dugu Yun, he had remained hidden here, solely to recover from the injuries he had suffered.

As a demon, he naturally possessed the power of the Heavenly Realm, but when he had first crossed the spatial channel, the repulsion of the Kyushu world had caused him severe injury, nearly leading to his death.

The other demons who came with him had mostly fallen, and only he had by fluke escaped with his life, close to being a rotting piece of wood.

Fortunately, in the nick of time, he encountered the then desperately pursued and near-death Dugu Yun, and managed to successfully possess and replace him.

However, since this body was not his own after all, it took a long time to perfectly merge with it, and even longer to heal the wounds, which is why it had been dragged on until now.

Otherwise, Kyushu would have already become hell.

"But now, it's not too late. It's just in time for the annihilation of all the Human Clan in Kyushu and for the complete descent of my race." The pupils of the demon sect leader, Dugu Yun, flickered with a fierce and ruthless light.

"These wastes, they're truly useless, all dead in the end. Looks like I still need to do it myself," Dugu Yun frowned.

"Wu Wang Gu Chen?" At this moment, upon thinking of Gu Chen's name, the demon sect leader, Dugu Yun, showed no emotion while the dark demonic patterns on his face continuously flickered.

"To reach a state of perfection, there's still something missing. A substantial amount of essence blood from many lives is needed to fortify it."

As Dugu Yun spoke, from deep within the underground palace, sudden surges of horrifying evil aura emerged, causing the world to display vast expanses of black ice crystals!

"Go, ravage the world, devour all living creatures you lay eyes upon, not sparing a single one, and gather endless lifeblood for me!"

"In the near future, once I have finished my seclusion, this realm will become an endless purgatory!"

With the fall of these words, massive numbers of demons and ghosts, like beasts uncaged, left this place, intending to unleash a devastating calamity upon Kyushu!

And when this demon sect leader, Dugu Yun, made his appearance, it also signified that the ultimate battle was about to begin!
