Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1535 - 376: Innate Origin Pool

Supreme celestial medicine, capable of allowing those at the Ascension Realm to further their advancement in this era where the origin of the ten thousand realms is lacking. Hence, its importance is self-evident!

Now, sensing the trace of the celestial medicine, the wafting fragrance that refreshes the heart and spleen makes Gu Chen’s pores open completely as if he is about to undergo ethereal transformation and ascend to immortality right there and then. It’s exceedingly transcendent.

"Only the legendary supreme celestial medicine could make me feel this way!" Gu Chen’s expression became solemn as his eyes gazed into the distance.

With his current strength and realm, ordinary divine medicines couldn’t cause such a sensation. Other than the supreme celestial medicine, he didn’t know what other treasures could evoke such a feeling in him.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Gu Chen made the teleportation gesture with his hands, and his figure disappeared from its original spot instantly. Without even the time for soul searching, he directly followed his senses, tracking down the supreme celestial medicine.

"What incredible speed!" Halfway there, Gu Chen was astonished. The light shadow moved at an unimaginable speed, even quicker than thunder, and he was barely able to keep up.

One must know that with the gesture, he was handling the void – he was teleporting or, one could say, performing void movement – and he was nearly left behind. This showed just how extraordinary the supreme celestial medicine was.

But this was to be expected of such a profound treasure.

"Let me see, just what is the true nature of this so-called supreme celestial medicine!" Gu Chen’s deep, dark eyes shone, transforming into two mysterious glowing runes, piercing through the heavens and seeing the obscure and unpredictable light shadow in the distance.

"A humanoid being?!" The next moment, with the use of his divine sight, Gu Chen’s body shook violently, his heart tremendously shaken.

The supreme celestial medicine, which only exists in legends, was in a human form?!

This discovery was too shocking!

"Is that really the celestial medicine?" Gu Chen’s expression became stern, and he couldn’t help but rise a doubt within him.

The shape he had just seen was also very vague, merely an outline – a slender human figure, shrouded in the light of the beginning and Primordial Qi, even his divine sight could not see it clearly.

It’s worth mentioning that Gu Chen’s divine sight comes from the limitless divine abilities of the fundamental laws of heaven, akin to the eyes of the Grand Dao. All scenes should be unable to hide away from his gaze.

"But, that astonishing fragrance of the medicine can’t be fake," Gu Chen pondered. If it weren’t for the supreme celestial medicine, such a fragrance would not exist.

As for illusions trying to confuse Gu Chen, who had reached the third realm of the soul, Yang God, that was even less likely.

From this, it seems that there is only one possibility – the supreme celestial medicine truly has a human form!

"A holy medicine can consume the essence of heaven and earth to slowly cultivate, and divine medicines can fly through the sky and hide beneath the earth, unfettered. As the stuff of legends, it’s not so strange that the supreme celestial medicine can transform its shape," thought Gu Chen.

Of course, all of this happened in the blink of an eye, with thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning, but his speed was not slowing down – in fact, he was still accelerating. Gu Chen intended to directly teleport close to the supreme celestial medicine.

"Hmm?"

But at this moment, he discovered that the supreme celestial medicine was not simple either. It seemed to be endowed with great divine abilities, as his Qi locking failed.

"Halt!"

With the treasure in front of him, Gu Chen naturally had no reason to give up. With a soft command, the teleportation gesture emitted endless light, permeating around his fingertips. A strong surge followed along the void in front of him at an extremely fast speed, freezing everything it passed.

The light shadow of the supreme celestial medicine, inevitably, was also momentarily frozen, but in an instant, it broke free from the restraint and escaped at an even faster speed.

This time, Gu Chen’s brows furrowed, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that this supreme celestial medicine has truly developed a spirit?"

If that’s the case, given the quality of the other party, even if it’s not like the supreme beings of all heavens, it could definitely compare to someone at the Ascension Realm.

"With that in mind, why would it run away?" Very soon, Gu Chen was taken aback, realizing this key point.

With an experimental mindset, Gu Chen displayed the fundamental laws of heaven, a celestial chain of order emerged, and the vibration of Dao spread. In an instant, the heavens trembled in all directions.

Rustle!

The sound of the extending divine chain reached him. Gu Chen did not exhibit too much marvel, merely extending the chain of Dao to try and bind the supreme celestial medicine.

However, at that moment, the shadowy supreme celestial medicine slightly quivered, and faintly, all paths resonated together. The chain of Dao laid out by Gu Chen actually paused for a moment.

Of course, even so, a surge of Dao was unleashed. Suddenly, from the body of the supreme celestial medicine, a few drops of crystal-clear, fairy-like divine liquid fell into the void, emitting an astonishing fragrance.

With a mindset of not wasting anything, Gu Chen swiftly waved his sleeve, collecting these few drops of supreme medicinal liquid.

"Halt again!"

At the same time, he gave a light shout, and this time performing the time gesture, the power of time permeated, and once again, the supreme celestial medicine was affected. The blurry figure of the living creature struggled vigorously, with a few more drops of the medicine falling. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Gu Chen collected them again.

Whoosh!

At the same time, taking this opportunity, Gu Chen came close to the shadowy, deity-like supreme celestial medicine.

Boom!

He struck without holding back, his palm strike fell like the heavens collapsing, terrifying with holy might, and filled with Primordial Qi.

The supreme celestial medicine shook, once again triggering myriad paths, and a few strands of light fell off, forming a protective barrier surrounding itself.

At the same time, a wave of spiritual communication swept over, entering Gu Chen’s sea of consciousness.

"Hmm?" Gu Chen’s expression was one of surprise, as the supreme celestial medicine actually communicated with him, really like a cultivator, having developed a spirit!

The other party’s intention was to ask Gu Chen to let it go. As the supreme celestial medicine, it was favored by the heavens, possessing various mystical attributes. If it wanted to leave, no one could keep it.

Gu Chen pondered, not giving an answer.

The supreme celestial medicine sent another wave of spiritual communication, saying it could give him some of its medicinal liquid as compensation.

Gu Chen looked at the blurry light shadow in front of him with a hint of confusion. Indeed, he was contemplating taking the celestial medicine down completely.

But Gu Chen was certain and also aware that the other party was not lying. Relying on the ability to stir ten thousand paths, the other party could indeed come and go as they pleased.

The last point was that, the other party had a human form, and to be frank, the idea of devouring it whole was somewhat repulsive to Gu Chen.

"Alright." He nodded and agreed to the terms.

Buzz!

The vague humanoid Celestial Medicine flung its palm, and over a dozen drops of elixir, even more clear and pure than those that had just been spilled, emerged. They were round and lustrous, like flawless pearls.

"How can I contact you next time?" Gu Chen suddenly asked at this moment.

However, the supreme Celestial Medicine did not answer and vanished in a flash. Gu Chen was taken aback by such a vanishing technique.

"Indeed, if I were to make a move, I really wouldn’t be able to capture it," he thought to himself.

Mainly because the supreme Celestial Medicine had clearly become sentient, possessed its own thoughts and even cultivation path. Gu Chen did not wish to forge a deadly enmity with it.

Such sacred beings nourished by heaven and earth would certainly have great achievements in the future. It was conceivable that they could play a role in the epochal catastrophe.

He looked at the twenty-odd drops of Celestial Elixir he had obtained, enveloped in rosy light and divine brightness, which were sufficient already.

Then, Gu Chen proceeded to soul-search the remaining Sacred Envoy, confirming some information he had previously obtained.

However, to his slight disappointment, he knew nothing about the remaining nine Sacred Envoys, including their appearances.

This indicated that there was no harmony within the Sacred Gateway, as everyone was highly guarded.

"According to the Principal, there should be an Innate Source Pool on Origin Island. Even now that I’ve achieved sanctity in the flesh, it will definitely be greatly beneficial to search for it," contemplated Gu Chen.

...

Somewhere on Origin Island.

"So quick, another seven Sacred Envoys have fallen," uttered Tianhuo Old Man with his restored aged appearance, sensing something and murmuring to himself.

"Not simple, truly not simple. It seems that this time Origin Island is indeed filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers," commented Tianhuo Old Man lightly.

Though he spoke in such a manner, there were no signs of worry, evidently very confident in his own strength.

"Just a little more, just a little bit more. Once I make a breakthrough to the questioning path realm, I can devour everyone on Origin Island altogether, including that junior named Gu Chen. Such vigorous blood and essence will be a great tonic for me!"

"Calculating the time, the Innate Source Pool should be opening soon. Through it, my mortal flesh can revert to its innate state, bringing me one step closer to the questioning path realm!"

Tianhuo Old Man spoke to himself, not in a rush at all, prepared to implement his plan step by step as previously planned.

...

Quickly, seven days passed in a flash.

During this time, the mighty beings from the higher realms continued exploring various places on Origin Island, a vast area concealing countless secrets.

Especially those mighty beings who bore avatars from the questioning path realm; they were all eagerly searching for the origins of myriad worlds.

For Gu Chen, he was in search of the fourth fragment of jade, which currently was the most important thing to him.

Of course, he had not given up on the news of the Innate Source Pool; after all, it was an important treasure that could allow cultivators to revert from the acquired to the innate.

The reason why innate gods and demons are called so is that they are naturally nurtured by Origin Island. Such beings can be said to possess the spiritual essence of heaven and earth and are favored by the cosmos, similar to the supreme Celestial Medicine Gu Chen had encountered recently.

The ancestors of the Heavenly race in the Holy Realm, as well as Thunder Spirit, all belong to the naturally nurtured. Such beings were also referred to as sacred and celestial spirits.

The first generation of true dragons and phoenixes were just like this, though the difference is that their blood can be passed down through the ages, with only one pureblood descendant per grand epoch, incredibly rare.

For the creatures of the higher realms now, even those of the ten strong races are still of the acquired kind. In comparison to sacred or celestial spirits, there is an inherent gap in their innate origins.

Even though Gu Chen has achieved sanctity in the flesh, in terms of origin, he is still an acquired being. However, his acquired being is somewhat special, with a foundation that even surpasses celestial spirits.

As such, Gu Chen suspected that if he could return to his origins and advance to the innate, it would bring about a tremendous improvement.

"Moreover, cultivators might also attain various legendary constitutions such as Five Elements Body, Four Symbols Body, and so on."

This was another reason Gu Chen was targeting the Innate Source Pool; very important for cultivators.

And only on Origin Island could there be such a place to allow cultivators to revert to their origins, becoming akin to innate gods and demons.

"This opening of the Innate Source Pool will surely attract many powerhouses. Then, I can also see if there are any Sacred Envoys from the Sacred Gateway present."

Eighteen Sacred Envoys were slaughtered by Gu Chen, leaving only half. If given the chance, he wouldn’t mind killing them all.

"And there’s the Golden Roc Clan, Fire Sect, Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and the Nine Heavens Hall." Mentioning these four powers, Gu Chen’s eyes turned cold.

Especially the first two, which he paid close attention to, wanting to see if the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the leader of the Fire Sect were two of the nine venerables of the Sacred Gateway.

This was extremely important.

Now, Gu Chen was immensely powerful and without any fear. Over these seven days, he also obtained some Dao stones and supreme celestial liquid, considering breaking through to the late stage of the Primordial Realm in the Innate Source Pool.

"It is indeed Origin Island, an extraordinary place that has unfolded the myriad worlds; without this opportunity, even I would find it hard to make such rapid progress, as difficult as Ascend to Heaven."

Gu Chen knew that it was not just him; the appearance of Origin Island also provided countless mighty beings of the higher realms with hope.

During this time, he could sense that many mighty beings had reaped great benefits.

It’s even possible that beings from the questioning path realm may come into existence because of this.

"Innate Source Pool, here I come!" Gu Chen whispered, his figure flashing like electricity, streaking towards the distant sky!
