Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 414 - 320 Spirit Martial Stage_2

"Even the six walkers from the six great holy lands had been here not long ago, and moreover, it’s said that they had successfully comprehended an Earthly Martial Skill with the help of the Spirit Martial Stage!"

"What?! Really, Earthly Martial Skill?" a martial artist exclaimed.

The martial artist speaking with a serious face said, "Of course, why would I lie to you? When those walkers were here, all sorts of extraordinary phenomena emerged on the Spirit Martial Stage. What else could it be, if not an Earthly Martial Skill?"

"Even the newly rising martial prodigy, Lin Bai, came to this place and appeared to have comprehended an Earthly Martial Skill just like those walkers from the six great holy lands!"

"The talent of these individuals is truly fearsome."

"I’ve heard that this is the second Earthly Martial Skill the walkers from the six great holy lands have comprehended. As for Lin Bai, it’s said to be the same for him."

"What?! At the Hundred Orifices Stage, they can master two Earthly Martial Skills?"

The group of martial artists widened their eyes in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

It was well known that Earthly Martial Skills were extremely difficult and obscure. Even some of the great martial masters who had just broken through to the congenital level were unable to comprehend them, let alone other martial artists.

For martial artists below the congenital level to comprehend an Earthly Martial Skill or technique was virtually impossible. While not as hard as Ascending to Heaven, it was still incredibly difficult.

But now, the walkers from the six great holy lands, as well as Lin Bai, without the aid of the Spirit Martial Stage, had managed to comprehend an Earthly Martial Skill. Now, with the aid of the Spirit Martial Stage, they had two Earthly Martial Skills at their disposal. Within the same realm, who could be their match?

Especially Lin Bai, who wasn’t a descendant of a holy land, yet possessed such talent and strength. These martial artists were even more convinced that Lin Bai was truly the number one martial prodigy in Da Xia.

As for Gu Chen, no one mentioned him anymore.

Also, this showed just how miraculous the Spirit Martial Stage was. It was a relic from the ancient times, and even the current six great holy lands didn’t have it within their confines.

Gu Chen looked up at the high sky, where, at this moment, seven platforms on the towering Spirit Martial Stage like a small mountain had been occupied, leaving only the last one vacant.

The ones occupying the first seven platforms were Lu Xing, Bu Nantian, Xiang Yang, Shen Han, Shang Ying, Jingxuan, and Xue Jingyun — all from top forces of East Province.

After the descendants of the six great holy lands and Lin Bai left this place, they ascended here, and no one dared to contest them.

The last platform was still being fought over.

Su Du was one of the contenders, his face full of resentment. After entering the Ling stage, he had been extremely unlucky, resulting in no improvement in his cultivation but instead, he had suffered serious injuries.

Now, in East Province, persons of renown like Lu Xing and Bu Nantian were seated high on the platforms, unchallenged by anyone. Only he stood below, watching them.

This made Su Du extremely unwilling. Despite his injuries, he was determined to fight for a spot on the platform.

Bang!

Among many martial artists vying for ownership of the last Spirit Martial Stage, one figure was targeted by the others and immediately sent flying out of the fray.

Seeing this, Gu Chen frowned, his figure flashed, moving closer, extending his palm to catch the person.

"Thank you, brother."

This was a middle-aged martial artist in his late thirties, with a strong and honest face. When he turned and saw that his rescuer was Gu Chen, he was stunned.

Since this person was a Heavenly Commander from the Jing Tian Department of East Province, he naturally recognized Gu Chen.

Gu Chen had visited the Jing Tian Department of East Province and recognized him as well.

Currently, with the Ling stage open, major forces from all over East Province poured in, coupled with the chaos wrought by the Six Union God Sect, the situation was extremely disorderly. The Jing Tian Department, in order to suppress East Province and prevent it from descending into chaos, had not been able to send many into the Ling stage.

Instead, they were stationed outside, maintaining order in East Province and ensuring that no accidents occurred.

This was also deliberate by many forces, which intended to drain the Jing Tian Department’s energy.

Only a few commanders from the Jing Tian Department had entered the spirit-realm in search of opportunities, but they were targeted by various parties and could be described as barely hanging on.

Such was the case with the current struggle for the Spirit Martial Stage.

Upon seeing Gu Chen, this Heaven-rank commander from the East Province didn’t relax just because his own people had arrived; on the contrary, he was extremely cautious and protected Gu Chen behind him.

This man was named Lu Chang, and he said to Gu Chen, "This place is fraught with danger; we should retreat for now."

As a Heaven-rank commander of the Jing Tian Department, Lu Chang was well aware of Deputy Commander Qin Wu’s high regard for Gu Chen. Unable to assess Gu Chen’s abilities and unaware of Gu Chen’s current strength, Lu Chang was concerned that Gu Chen would suffer a disadvantage, so he protected him.

The cultivators contending for opportunities here all had reached the great completion of the Hundred Orifices Stage. In Lu Chang’s view, and indeed in anyone’s view, even if Gu Chen were a prodigy, it was impossible for him to compete with a warrior of the great completion of the Hundred Orifices Stage in such a short time.

Among those present, only Su Du had a relatively clear understanding of Gu Chen’s situation, but he kept this information to himself and did not disclose it.

"There’s no need for concern, Lord Lu. There is no need to be so wary of them," Gu Chen calmly stepped out from behind Lu Chang.

Seeing this, Lu Chang was slightly taken aback.

Gu Chen naturally noticed Su Du in the crowd, but he didn’t care. Even without considering Su Du’s serious injuries from their previous fight, a fully recovered Su Du was no longer a match for the current Gu Chen.

At this moment, Gu Chen’s focus was solely on the towering Spirit Martial Stage, which greatly intrigued him.

"Gu Chen, where has the Arsenal’s inborn talent gone?" demanded Xu Qing, the young master of the Arsenal, emerging with a gloomy face as he spotted Gu Chen.

He had been searching for Gu Chen’s whereabouts, but the spirit-realm was large, and only today had he finally come face-to-face with Gu Chen.

With his black hair cascading down to his waist and a physique as strong as a dragon, Gu Chen glanced at Xu Qing indifferently and casually said, "He’s dead."

"Dead?!" Xu Qing’s pupils shrank in surprise, and he said incredulously, "That’s impossible. How could Uncle Gong die? The one who should be dead is you, you little brat!"

Gu Chen’s expression turned frosty as he said, "Do you know that assassinating a commander of the Jing Tian Department is a capital offense?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smirked dismissively, "A capital offense? Hahaha, well then, I’m standing right here. What can you do to me?"

Yuan Zixun from the Mysterious Pill Workshop was also by Xu Qing’s side, and upon hearing the words, he joined in Xu Qing’s laughter. The two of them seemed to find the situation overwhelmingly amusing.

"Gu Chen, have you lost your mind? Do you know where you are?" Xu Qing said, and the smile on his face suddenly vanished, his tone turning harsh as he continued, "This is the spirit-realm. Even if I kill you, what of it?"

Yuan Zixun also sneered, "Not to mention here—even outside, what can Da Xia do about it if we kill you? You’ve offended the six great holy lands. Daring to oppose disciples of the holy lands, even Da Xia won’t be able to save you!"

Su Du stood to the side, watching Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun taunt Gu Chen, sneering inwardly.

He was eager for the two sides to start fighting, the fiercer the better. No matter who suffered, Su Du would profit.

However, Su Du couldn’t shake the feeling that, in the end, the victor would be Gu Chen.

Lu Chang, the Heaven-rank commander of the Jing Tian Department from the East Province, stood by solemnly. The Arsenal and the Mysterious Pill Workshop were not limited to just Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun, both of whom were at the great completion of the Hundred Orifices Stage. If a fight broke out, it would be difficult for him to protect Gu Chen.

Just as Lu Chang thought of retreating with Gu Chen first, he heard Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun shout, "Men, take down this mad, ignorant fool of a boy!"
