Chapter 1602: Chapter 417: Dominating the World (Three Updates of Ten Thousand Characters, Please Subscribe!)

After the fervor subsided, tranquility once again enveloped the area.

These practitioners of the Way of Inquiry had not known such joy in many years; their laughter even reached far away, affecting the entire Qingyun Academy.

The previously solemn atmosphere was broken, causing many students to look at one another in confusion, unsure what had actually happened.

Only a few insiders, like Tianyuan Taoist and others, were visibly delighted, aware of the implications.

Here in the grand hall of the eternal imperial court, Gu Chen sat at the top, with dozens of top-realm Way of Inquiry practitioners below, taking their seats in turn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what shall we do with Taoxu Road now?" At this moment, a Way of Inquiry practitioner spoke up.

Upon hearing this, all the Way of Inquiry practitioners shifted their gaze, looking towards Gu Chen.

Now that the threat of the holy sect in this supreme realm had been removed, it was suggested that this was an opportunity to discuss how they should conduct themselves in the future.

Everyone naturally agreed joyously to this.

The chief of Taoxu Road had betrayed the upper realm and served the holy sect, hence, like other traditions, should be eradicated to serve as a warning to others.

However, these Way of Inquiry practitioners knew about the relationship between the holy maiden Chu Yue Ling of Taoxu Path and Gu Chen, which influenced their decision.

After all, Gu Chen was now the true foremost person in the upper realm.

Seeing this, Gu Chen contemplated for a moment then spoke, "The chief of Taoxu Road betrayed the upper realm and must be punished, but the others in Taoxu Road were unaware, and they have deep ties with me; sparing this tradition, I wonder what the opinions are?"

"No objections."

"I have no objections either."

"We will follow the decision of the imperial court’s master."

At this moment, one by one, the Way of Inquiry practitioners expressed their agreement.

Seeing this, Gu Chen also nodded slightly, choosing not to talk about it further.

This is the advantage of being powerful.

Afterwards, regarding other doctrines still pending and associated with the holy sect, the informed ones would be eliminated, and the uninformed would be spared, as discussed by the assembly of Way of Inquiry practitioners.

But inevitably, the decline of these doctrines was certain, unable to maintain their previous transcendence and loftiness.

In this regard, Taoxu Road was no different; however, because of Gu Chen, although still untouchable, its title of an immortal-level doctrine was inevitably stripped.

Thus, a conclusion was reached regarding these matters.

"Later, I will take action to annihilate the headquarters of the holy sect, and through it, search for some intelligence to completely eradicate all monks and powers in the upper realm connected to the holy sect," Gu Chen said calmly, yet his words contained overwhelming lethality.

It can be foreseen that though the holy sect is destroyed, there will inevitably be many lower-level forces and monks who maintained contact, cooperated, or were involved with the holy sect.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian, chief of the Three-Eyed God Clan, Douyuan, master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and another lord, looked slightly embarrassed.

Gu Chen glanced at them, not saying much. He had seen their attitudes not long ago, which were quite sincere.

Moreover, during the battle against the holy sect, they had been at the forefront, paying their dues.

Thus, their past grievances with Gu Chen were also put aside.

"Anyone belonging to the holy sect must be killed!" Bai Xiao, chief of the white tiger clan, coldly declared.

"Indeed, this act must also be declared to the world, letting all people witness it!" another Way of Inquiry practitioner spoke up.

This move was to tell everyone in the world that anyone who betrays the upper realm would face one fate— merciless death!

The organization like the holy sect must never be allowed to appear in the upper realm again!

Therefore, the most severe measures must be taken against all covert members of the holy sect.

After all, their threat to the upper realm was evident to all.

Thus, the matter of the holy sect was conclusively settled.

Finally, after discussing all matters, the dozens of Way of Inquiry practitioners from across the upper realm were immensely satisfied and left the East Profound Region, returning to their respective dao sanctuaries.

And unsurprisingly, as these Way of Inquiry practitioners departed, on their directive, the news of the holy sect’s destruction swept across the 3,600 realms like a powerful storm.

An unparalleled quake thus unfolded!

"What, the holy leader has fallen?!"

"The holy leader is destroyed, that’s great, the holy sect is destroyed!"

"So shocking, the holy leader reached the highest realm; even so, we still won, all of this is simply too fantastic!"

"It’s Lord Gu Chen, the master of the imperial court who rescued us!"

Likewise, detailed accounts of this battle, along with the power of the holy leader and Gu Chen’s dramatic intervention, rapidly spread throughout the world.

"The master of the imperial court, truly the strongest warrior across all realms!"

"The master of the imperial court is undefeatable!"

"With such a figure guarding the upper realm, all evil heretical sects must be destroyed!"

At this time, all beings across the 3,600 realms of the upper world were extremely excited, with the frenzy growing even more intense, showing no signs of stopping.

Meanwhile, the monks associated with the holy sect were utterly terrified.

The fall of the holy sect was an immense blow to them.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, for the Saint Lord to actually die? That is the highest realm!"

"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, this must be fake, no matter how strong Gu Chen is, he’s not even fifty years old yet, how could he rival the supreme heavens!"

"This is false news, there must be someone trying to confuse us!" freewёbnoνel.com

Although they said this, the silence of the Saint Gate all this time, without anyone contacting them, already proves the truth of this information.

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Saint Gate, Gu Chen appeared here, locating this place naturally wasn’t difficult with the aura he captured from fighting Emperor Yuan combined with his current strength.

"Run!"

The moment the cultivators of Saint Gate saw Gu Chen, they instantly panicked to the extreme, some were excited, some angry, some resentful, and some fearful.

In the face of these reactions, Gu Chen merely glanced at them, waved his hand, and the place instantly quieted down.

Even the special area of Saint Gate used for storing heavenly demons was obliterated cleanly with a flick of his finger.

The Black Demon Mountain was extraordinary, but to Gu Chen, it was useless and easily suppressed.

Inside the hall where the nine esteemed former elders would convene, he saw the Taoxu Road Leader.

"You really aren’t dead." Gu Chen spoke up, having speculated as much before.

After all, the Taoxu Road Leader had invented the external incarnation, how could he not have some tricks up his sleeve?

At this moment, seeing Gu Chen arrive, the Taoxu Road Leader was surprisingly calm as if he had anticipated this all along.

"It seems you’re prepared to die." Gu Chen said, his words tinged with coldness.

The Taoxu Road Leader stared at Gu Chen and after a moment, he sighed deeply, "I truly never thought you would reach this point so soon."

"There are many things in this world that you wouldn’t think of." Gu Chen spoke indifferently.

"No." The Taoxu Road Leader shook his head, completely disagreeing with the remark, saying, "You are the first of your kind throughout history, the origin of myriad realms resides within you, it’s as if the heavens had decided this long ago, your existence is destined to face calamities, it is your destiny!"

Gu Chen’s expression remained calm, his eyes deep, his words causing no ripples: "There is no such thing as destiny. How I wish to be, I decide it all myself."

The Taoxu Road Leader, knowing Gu Chen’s character, let out a wry smile, saying, "You’re not wrong."

"Are your last words all taken care of?" Gu Chen asked, without a trace of mercy.

In fact, Gu Chen was already holding back; had it been someone else, he would have turned him into ash instantly upon meeting, there would have been no chance to even speak.

The Taoxu Road Leader gave a light smile, utterly untroubled, saying: "Actually, I’m quite proud."

Gu Chen stayed silent, merely watching him coldly.

The Taoxu Road Leader was not bothered, and in the end, he took a deep look at Gu Chen: "After I’m gone, I hope you can treat Yueling kindly. She knows nothing, and without the origin of myriad realms, she rightfully would have been the most formidable phenomenon of this era."

This point, even Gu Chen had to admit, the outstanding nature of the Taoxu Road saintess Chu Yue Ling was universally acknowledged.

"I’ll handle my worn-out body myself, no need for you to bother," the Taoxu Road Leader spoke, and without any visible movement, he just sat cross-legged there, gradually becoming more illusory.

He was merging with the Dao!

In no time at all, the Taoxu Road Leader smiled as he departed, completely disappearing, his body and spirit extinguished, becoming a part of the Great Dao.

"If you knew this day would come, why did you choose that past." Gu Chen shook his head slightly.

As for the Taoxu Road saintess Chu Yue Ling, he already knew that she was in seclusion in a secret realm, and when she emerges, a significant breakthrough is inevitable.

Therefore, he had no current desire to disturb her.

Next, Gu Chen completely obliterated this sanctuary; utilizing the information obtained from soul searching, the Upper Realm was stirred once again.

But this disturbance came quickly and left quickly; after the complete obliteration of the higher-ups of Saint Gate, some low-to-mid level cultivators started cleaning up. With the confirmed information, it naturally became exceedingly easy.

"No..."

"I hate it!"

"I didn’t want it this way, give me another chance!"

That day, across the 3600 domains of the Upper Realm, screams echoed everywhere, with numerous cultivators being slain, and numerous small-to-medium-sized forces obliterated.

Although it caused some panic, once the news spread, it greatly pleased the people. Many willingly joined in to eliminate the remnants of Saint Gate.

Within seven days, the operation concluded.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen’s fame in the Upper Realm only grew stronger, becoming the subject of everyone’s conversations, enduring and unceasing.

Some said he was legendary, others said he was mythical, all beings in the Upper Realm revered him deeply, discussing him every day, every moment.

After all, the Upper Realm was vast in population.

Everyone respectfully called him the lord of the Imperial Court. Now, Gu Chen had truly become the foremost person of the Upper Realm, revered by all beings!

Just as Situ Yin, the head of Qingyun Academy, had thought, Gu Chen’s prestige in the Upper Realm had reached an apex, surpassing anyone in history, supremely unmatched!

Even among the forces with experts capable of questioning the Dao, all cultivators felt the same.

Forget about them, even the dozens of questioning Dao realm figures were the same; his young age no longer mattered.

Gu Chen had won the awe of all beings in the Upper Realm, without exception.

This moment marked the arrival of the era belonging to Gu Chen, as the lord of the Imperial Court officially reigned supreme over the world, his authority unmatched across the Upper Realm, unparalleled and foremost in the myriad realms!
