Chapter 1500: Chapter 357: Placing Them in a Desperate Situation to Revive (Three More Ten-Thousand-Word Updates, Please Subscribe!)_2
Of course, Nie Gu, the clan leader of the Primordial Clan, along with the elders of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, Golden Raven Clan, Kirin Clan, and Heaven Silkworm Clan also provided significant help.
Gu Chen was grateful for the aid of these unparalleled beings, but he knew that some things, ultimately, he had to face himself.
Moreover, he did not want a battle to break out on Taoxu Road because of him, causing turmoil in the upper realms before the epochal catastrophe, as that would owe too great a debt of gratitude.
Gu Chen did not wish for this.
Seeing the matter settled, Tian Yuan Taoist and the others’ expressions turned somewhat somber, Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie were extremely tense.
"Which Forbidden Zone of Living Beings is it?" they urgently asked.
"Misty Region," Gu Chen replied succinctly.
The Misty Region, somewhat remote from the East Profound Region, was an almost besieged realm with over half its area enveloped by the Forbidden Zones of Living Beings.
Initially, there were no Forbidden Zones in this realm, they had only recently appeared, and the strength of this particular Forbidden Zone was not too strong. It had just descended not long ago, and there should not be more than three demons at the Primordial Realm level.
Even so, it was not something Gu Chen could contend against, which is why the elders of the Golden Roc Clan finally agreed to it.
Tian Yuan Taoist and the others already knew the situation in Misty Region, and their expressions grew even heavier.
"Three demons comparable to the Primordial Realm, they are completely trying to make you die without a chance of survival!" Qi Dao of the immortal spirits could not sit still either, wanting to go back and plead with the elders of the Kirin Clan.
However, Gu Chen stopped him.
For him, this was already the best possible outcome.
Lacking strength and facing such a huge disparity, having the privilege to choose was already very satisfactory to Gu Chen.
Besides, he was not without the power to fight!
Gu Chen had a premonition that the opportunity for him to consolidate his Primordial Realm status might just come during this mission!
Thus, he was not overly pessimistic, but rather, filled with a fighting spirit in his heart.
"Your mindset is really good." But clearly, Tian Yuan Taoist and the others did not think so.
In fact, upon hearing the news, no one was optimistic about Gu Chen’s chances; after all, that was a Forbidden Zone, where even the strongest in the Primordial Realm would not dare to enter, let alone demolish.
To anyone, it seemed an unsolvable dead end, no different than heading to the gallows.
Gu Chen smiled, not saying much, as he had already memorized these matters, and if the opportunity arose, he would inevitably need to settle these.
Even the battle spoils from the last time under the forceful demands of the lord of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace—the formation diagram of the Seven Star Destruction Formation was returned.
"Big brother..." Gu Qingyan was exceedingly worried, and her beautiful eyes nearly brimmed with tears.
"Don’t worry, big brother will be fine, and also, don’t talk too much with Second Uncle and Auntie," Gu Chen advised his sister.
He did not want Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge to worry for him.
"Okay..." Gu Qingyan quietly nodded after a moment.
"Don’t worry, Qinyan, I’ll be fine. Don’t you know what your big brother is capable of?" Gu Chen comforted.
...
Peng Region, the ancestral land of the Golden Roc Clan.
The five ancient ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan were seated here, discussing matters concerning Gu Chen.
"Although it is somewhat different from our initial intention, in the end, no matter what, the goal has been reached."
"This time, this boy is undoubtedly doomed to die!"
"Be cautious, to avoid capsizing in the channel like last time, lest Tai Shi has left some unseen tricks on this boy!"
"Rest assured, I have already left an incarnation in the East Profound Region for this very purpose."
"Success or failure depends on this one move, the origin of the myriad realms will finally emerge!"
With this thought, considering the path they had long desired was about to open its doors for them, a rich smile appeared on the faces of the five ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan.
As for the life and death of Gu Chen, they naturally did not care.
"Although the emergence of the origin of the myriad realms might return to the universe, it is ultimately a good thing," the leader of the Fire Sect spoke.
To them, they could naturally sense that with Gu Chen’s supreme talent, if he did not die, they might have no place in the entire upper realms in the future.
Thus, to the five ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan, whether it was the origin of the myriad realms or mutual enmity, now was the best time to eradicate Gu Chen, leaving him no chance of survival.
To get to this point, the five ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan were certainly not the kind-hearted and tender-handed sort.
"Calculating the time, the days that Tai Shi fought for this child have also arrived."
...
Boom!
In the East Profound Region, above Qingyun Academy, there came the sound of a thousand thunders exploding, and a figure like that of a celestial god emerged.
"Gu Chen, time is up, time for you to set off!" An incarnation of the elder from the Golden Roc Clan appeared, his enormous golden pupils sweeping over Gu Chen.
He was checking to see if the master of Taoxu Road had left any tricks on Gu Chen.
Gu Chen frowned, sensing the elder’s probing.
"Let’s go, I’ll see you off!" he urged.
Buzz!
At that moment, a ray of divine light flashed, and the indistinct figure of the master of Taoxu Road appeared, saying, "Brother Jin, there’s no need to trouble yourself with such a trivial matter."
The Golden Roc elder’s huge golden pupils glanced at the incarnation of the master of Taoxu Road, then he disappeared.
However, in reality, he had not left but was still secretly watching from the shadows, preventing the master of Taoxu Road from leaving Gu Chen any backups.
"Let’s go." The master of Taoxu Road looked towards Gu Chen.
"Alright." Gu Chen nodded, then glanced at Gu Qingyan, Princess Xidie, and Tianyuan Taoist among others.
They were all reluctant to part, especially Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie, who, in their effort to not worry Gu Chen, forcibly held back their tears.
"I will return soon," Gu Chen said, signaling them to be at ease.
Then, with a flash of light, the master of Taoxu Road took him away.
Even as an incarnation, but being an existence at the pinnacle of the querying realm, coupled with the inter-domain transmission array, it only took a little effort and Gu Chen had already arrived at the Misty Region.
The gaze of the Golden Roc elder naturally followed in the shadows continuously, transmitting a sensation like needles pricking to Gu Chen from time to time.
This was him warning Gu Chen not to play any tricks.
The saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling was also present, now standing by Gu Chen’s side, having come to the Misty Region together.
At this moment, the entire upper world was actually watching, and although they knew that no miracle would happen, many people still couldn’t help admiring Gu Chen’s courage.
"We’ve arrived." The master of Taoxu Road spoke, taking Gu Chen and Chu Yue Ling to the edge of the forbidden zone of the Misty Region. One more step forward, and it would be a darkness as deep as an ancient abyss.
"Do you have anything you want to say?" At this point, the master of Taoxu Road looked towards Gu Chen.
Clearly, the master of Taoxu Road also didn’t believe that once inside, Gu Chen would have any means to escape.
"Thank you for all the help you’ve provided, elder; I will remember it always," Gu Chen bowed deeply with clasped hands towards the master of Taoxu Road.
"Not at all," the master of Taoxu Road shook his head, not particularly concerned with this.
"Miss Chu," at this moment, Gu Chen turned to look at Taoxu Road’s saintess, Chu Yue Ling.
Chu Yue Ling, with her flawless jade-like skin and unmatchably cold demeanor, seemed like a celestial lady descending from the nine heavens. Frankly speaking, in terms of looks, there’s hardly any woman in the entire upper world who could compete with her.
It was as if she embodied all the beauty in the world, beyond her, another such woman seemed impossible.
"I’ll wait for your return." Chu Yue Ling, her raven black hair cascading like a waterfall and her smile transcendent, brightened the world around her, making it seem even more radiant.
"Alright." Gu Chen nodded, a smile appearing on his face as well.
"It’s time to set off!" At that moment, the great golden pupils of the Golden Roc ancestor appeared, urging once again.
Gu Chen shot him a cold glance, at this point, there was no need for any more considerations.
"Hmm?" The gaze of the Golden Roc elder darkened, but eventually, he let it go, thinking that Gu Chen was a man about to die, so there was no need for further actions.
"Master, I’m leaving," Gu Chen finally said, and then with a firm stride, he walked towards the darkness in the distance.
Gu Chen did not hesitate; rather, his steps were extraordinarily firm.
Because Gu Chen knew that the key to whether he could break through to the Primordial and prove himself strongest lay within!
To come back alive only from the verge of death; if successful, from that point on, there would be no one in the entire upper world who could pose a threat to him.
If he failed, then the outcome naturally needed no more words.
Gu Chen’s eyes were profound, his expression resolute, decisively setting off towards the ghostly dark forbidden zone in the distance.
It was as if a fierce monster had opened its gaping maw, and ultimately, the dense darkness completely swallowed his figure, disappearing from sight!
