Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 606 447 Final Battle at Qi Yun Mountain_2

Gu Chen appeared, declaring to the six sacred grounds and everyone under the heavens that whoever wished to kill him, no matter who they were, could go to Qi Yun Mountain, where he would be waiting.

After the message was released, Jing Tian Department and Red Dust Tower spread the news throughout the world at the fastest speed, and Gu Chen himself also immediately headed to Qi Yun Mountain.

Qi Yun Mountain, located within the Qiongtian Mansion of Shen Zhou, stands five hundred zhang high. Eighteen hundred years ago, a top-tier power had its sect established there.

Along with the spread of this news, there was an uproar across the world, as clearly, many people had not anticipated such a development.

People knew that Gu Chen had chosen to burn his bridges and make a decisive stand against the sacred grounds at Qi Yun Mountain.

"This Marquis of Wu An is truly out of the ordinary, embodying loyalty and righteousness. He actually chose to do this to avoid implicating Da Xia, deciding to stand alone against the sacred grounds. To be honest, I've really started to admire this young man from the bottom of my heart."

"With such courage and actions, it seems that the previous rumors about him throughout the nine provinces were all false, propagated by those deliberately slandering the Marquis of Wu An."

"It's normal to attract trouble when you stand out, but isn't this decision a bit too reckless? How can he confront the six sacred grounds alone?"

"Otherwise, what can he do? Could Da Xia really clash with the sacred grounds? Nowadays, under the heavens, even the Six Union God Sect does not have the power to contend with the six sacred grounds. Only that rumored to be not dead lord of the demon sect, Dugu Yun, can stand alone."

"In my opinion, his decision is a wise one. Knowing that death is certain, it is better to go alone rather than involve Da Xia and implicate the countless innocent civilians."

"Exactly, I think so too. Although the Marquis of Wu An is young, his actions deem him a hero. I greatly admire him as well."

"Talented and powerful, and with such a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness, yet to find himself in this situation. Are the six sacred grounds being too domineering? Why act like this? Are they fearful that the Marquis of Wu An will grow powerful enough to overthrow them?"

"Careful with your words. Do you have a death wish?!"

At this very moment, the entire world was discussing Gu Chen's actions; some felt it was justified, while others thought Gu Chen foolish for abandoning his backing from Da Xia to face the challenge alone.

But no matter what, up until now, there were still no people who believed Gu Chen would prevail.

The six sacred grounds have dominated the world, presiding over the nine provinces for tens of thousands of years—this isn't just empty talk.

Of course, Gu Chen's move was not without effect; at the very least, his reputation soared once again, and some people even began to discuss the six sacred grounds in private, feeling that the sacred grounds were too domineering.

Because someone had spread the story of Gu Chen's feud with the six sacred grounds, the rights and wrongs were clear at a glance.

However, out of respect for the sacred grounds' prestige, nobody dared to actually stand up and say something.

"Humph, this slaughterer certainly has good tactics. Such actions have won him a great reputation; one could say that he can die with his eyes closed."

"The slaughterer is clever enough, knowing that death is inevitable, better to put on a righteous front before dying. After all, a posthumous name is still a name, isn't it?"

At this moment, in Tianzhou, within a tavern, people were also discussing this matter.

Tianzhou belongs neither to Da Xia nor to Da Yuan, standing independently apart because the six sacred grounds are located here.

In Tianzhou, both commoners and warriors hold the six sacred grounds in high esteem. In their eyes, the six sacred grounds are supreme and inviolable.

Thus, upon learning of Gu Chen's actions, there were many people in Tianzhou who scorned and even verbally abused him; none of them believed in Gu Chen's success.

Meanwhile, in a private booth of this tavern, several young people clothed in splendid attire and carrying an outstanding aura were seated. Each one of them came from a prestigious background.

At present, they were also talking about this very issue.

"Yuan Tian, how do you see this matter?" At this moment, a young man with a flippant smile spoke up.

The man named Yuan Tian had rugged features and an indifferent expression. He was dressed in a black robe bearing the unique insignia of Mount Tianzhu.

This person was a genius from Mount Tianzhu in the Upper Realm. Among the younger generation in the Upper Realm, he was considered quite outstanding. He had emerged as a notable figure in the Upper Realm and was favored by many.

The speaker, that flippant young man, also hailed from a Holy Land-level power in the Upper Realm. His strength and reputation in the Upper Realm were no less impressive than Yuan Tian's.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tian, with his cold expression, said, "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating one's own abilities."

Just then, a young warrior with a longsword on his back and an arrogant look on his face sneered, "Just a lower realm rat. I don't even need to draw my sword; a single finger would be enough to crush him to death."

This person was a genius from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect of the Upper Realm, named Zhong Jun.

Yuan Tian glanced at Zhong Jun but said nothing. People from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect were all like this. It was in their nature, passed down through generations. This kind of arrogant character was difficult to change.

It was also because the Vault of Sky Sword Sect was powerful in the Upper Realm that they could maintain such an attitude. Otherwise, with such a character, they would have been annihilated by their peers long ago.

The genius from Burning Heaven Valley of the Upper Realm was a towering man, his aura as fiery as a volcano. If the people of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect were characterized by their arrogance, then those from Burning Heaven Valley were domineering.

The characteristic trait of Mount Tianzhu's warriors was their indifference, which was related to their sect's environment and the cultivation methods they practiced.

"Just a little bug daring to oppose the Holy Land. Although I am somewhat surprised that such a character has emerged from the small pond of the lower realm, this is as far as he goes. He's merely someone who can be considered a flood dragon at best. After all, born here and grown here, he is still just a frog at the bottom of a well."

At this time, the flippant young man said with a smile, "Although the Nine Provinces are a lower realm, incomparable to the vast worlds of the Upper Realm, their origin and history are exceptionally extraordinary. Do not forget the true purpose of our journey."

Upon hearing these words, whether it was Yuan Tian, Zhong Jun, or the geniuses from Burning Heaven Valley, all of their expressions became solemn.

Indeed, if it weren't for that purpose, why would they come to the barren Nine Provinces?

Moreover, their backing Holy Lands would not have spent such a vast price to allow them to travel across realms.

It is known that descending from the Upper Realm to the Nine Provinces requires satisfying many conditions, and the cost is extremely high. Inter-realm teleportation is not easy, and such a high cost is difficult for a single Holy Land to bear, which is why they would join forces with other powers to share the burden.

This is also why several Upper Realm geniuses have descended upon the Nine Provinces.

At the same time, at this moment, Yuan Tian and the others became vigilant in their gazes. Once there were clues, no matter how close their relationships were, they would become enemies.

That is because that is something so precious that even the Holy Lands, even the masters of the Holy Lands, those titans of the Upper Realm, would covet and fight over it to the death. Obtaining it would mean one could dominate a territory in the vast and endless exalted Upper Realm, or even establish another Holy Land!

If it weren't for the restrictions between the heavens and the earth that prevented the Upper Realm titans from crossing realms, it wouldn't be Yuan Tian and their turn to compete.

Moreover, Yuan Tian and the others were well aware that as time went by and monsters continued to invade the Nine Provinces, the rules of this world became increasingly broken. The Upper Realm would send even more powerful people here.

The most critical thing was that once the great calamity of the Nine Provinces arrived and countless monsters launched their invasion, corrupting the world of the Nine Provinces, then even if they came from the Upper Realm, they would likely die or be unable to return to the Upper Realm.

The terror of the monsters was something these Upper Realm visitors knew far better than the residents of the Nine Provinces. The difference between the monsters of the Nine Provinces and those of the Upper Realm was too vast to be described simply as a gap between heaven and earth.

That was the true horror, something even the Holy Lands found troublesome and could not deal with.

Some of the Life Forbidden Zones in the Upper Realm were formed for this reason.

Therefore, Yuan Tian and the others knew that their time was limited. To them, Gu Chen was just a trivial interlude, not worthy of their regard.
