Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 647 - 470: 3000 Years of Power _2

Yet the Heavenly Seed was different, as it possessed a complete set of heaven and earth rules. As a result, Gu Chen's domain, in comparison to those cultivators who contemplated the laws of the land of the Nine States, would be significantly more powerful.

This was an advantage that no one else possessed, unique only to Gu Chen!

"The Heavenly Seed, truly, is of paramount importance."

Gu Chen reflected, and moreover, he really wanted to know, once the Heavenly Seed fully evolved and formed its own world, just how much help it would be to him.

"Perhaps, the reason my domain is so unique is not without the influence of the Heavenly Seed," Gu Chen suddenly realized.

If the Heavenly Seed could purify his body and cultivation, then it might very well temper his domain as well.

"Mm, the possibility is extremely high!" Gu Chen nodded.

Afterward, Gu Chen glanced at the sky and, instead of choosing to stay, set off toward the city of Yan State—Yulong City.

It had been almost two years since his last visit to Yulong City; compared to then, Gu Chen's cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds.

This time, upon arriving at Yulong City, Gu Chen concealed his tracks without alerting anyone, silently arriving and infiltrating the Jing Tian Department.

Initially, when he came to Yan State, he had spent a considerable amount of time in the Yan State Jing Tian Department. With his understanding of the place, combined with his current level of cultivation, his presence here could not be detected by anyone.

Gu Chen's decision to keep a "low profile" was to deliver a "surprise" to the savage tribes at the right moment.

To deceive the enemy, one must first deceive their own. Thus, without notifying anyone, Gu Chen quietly took cover within the Yan State Jing Tian Department.

Returning to Yulong City, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel reflective. He also noticed that the atmosphere within the city was somewhat tense, and it was even more so within the Jing Tian Department.

With Gu Chen's spiritual sense, nothing in all of Yulong City could escape his investigation, and soon he discovered the reason.

"The savage tribes have already dispatched their troops?" Gu Chen's brows furrowed upon learning this news.

"Good, then I shall wait here. With the current strength of the savage tribes, it's very likely they will launch a surprise attack on this place." Gu Chen pondered in his heart.

Da Xia's border forces are weaker than those of the current savage tribes. After all, the savage tribes now have inherited the legacies of ancient deities and demons, and are nothing like they were before. They even have an additional peak warrior in the Coagulation Field realm, and are certainly not to be underestimated.

As for that high priest, Gu Chen guessed that it was very possible he had reached the late stages of the Coagulation Field realm. Even Gu Chen, as he was now, would not be a match for him. This was another reason for Gu Chen's concealment.

If that high priest were to make a move, Gu Chen could defend himself, but the people of Yan State would be in danger.

For now, keeping to the shadows, he appeared weak to the enemy. When the savage tribes attacked Yulong City, they would surely find their advance to be without return.

If the savage tribes were to attack directly and formally, with Gu Chen's speed, reaching the border wouldn't take long. Without the savage tribes' guard up, Gu Chen could achieve a tremendous victory.

The result of facing a public Coagulation Field realm warrior versus ambushing an unprepared one privately, was entirely different.

"Savage tribes, I am waiting right here for you, hoping to catch a big fish," Gu Chen revealed a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, in the Jing Tian Department, Yan State's Protector Yan Qing stood with a worried expression at this moment. Beside him was a Commanding Officer of the Heavenly Ranks, Wang Family's Wang Jiu Zhi, who had once protected Gu Chen.

Right now, the atmosphere in the hall was heavy. They had been aware of the savage tribe's attack from the get-go. However, the support promised by Tiandu—that is, Gu Chen—still had not arrived on time.

Especially troubling to Yan Qing, the Protector of Yan State, was the rumor he'd heard through secret channels claiming that the four great Demon Kings had emerged from seclusion, all breaking through to the Coagulation Field realm, solely to deal with Gu Chen.

This message also made Yan Qing shudder. Adding to this, as Gu Chen remained unseen, his anxiety only grew.

"If Master Gu runs into trouble, then the whole of Da Xia will..." Suddenly, Yan Qing's heart trembled with more horror.

He was very clear that Qin Wu had intended to offer Gu Chen the position of deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department. This matter had been discussed with them all when the eleven Protectors left the capital; Qin Wu had spoken to them about it.

Having personally witnessed Gu Chen's rise and breakthrough to transcendency, and his path to ascension that won the reverence of countless beings in the Nine States, Yan Qing and the others had no objections and even strongly approved.

If something really happened to Gu Chen, it would be a heavy loss that Da Xia could not bear.

At this moment, Wang Jiu Zhi spoke, "Protector Yan, please rest assured. Master Gu is powerful and blessed with stunning fortune. It's impossible for him to run into any trouble. To those demons of the Demon Cult, facing Master Gu is nothing more than delivering themselves to his doorstep."

Compared to Yan Qing, Wang Jiu Zhi had a lot of confidence in Gu Chen. He believed that Gu Chen's absence might simply be due to some matters he needed to resolve along the way.

For Wang Jiu Zhi, he felt sentimental about Gu Chen, who in just a few years had gone from an unknown cultivator in the Resonance Realm to his current standing, admired by countless beings across the Nine States. It was truly awe-inspiring.

The period when Gu Chen was still weak and in Yan State was also considered by Wang Jiu Zhi to be the most precious treasure of his life.

After all, he had once protected Gu Chen, who was now the Protector of Wu'an Marquis and the renowned Butcher of the realms.

If word of this spread, it would truly be a tale for the ages.

At this time, Yan Qing took a deep breath and said, "Jiu Zhi, I know you possess extraordinary talent, even surpassing me, especially after resolving your family affairs. Your cultivation has soared in the past year. If you need anything, feel free to ask. Once you reach the great completion of the innate realm, I'll have the nerve to ask Master Gu whether we can still obtain a spirit-refining fruit to help you achieve the pinnacle of transcendence."

Hearing this, Wang Jiu Zhi immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Protector Yan."

"It's nothing," Yan Qing slightly shook his head, but deep in his eyes, the worry remained heavy.

Elsewhere, Gu Chen had quietly settled into the Yan State Jing Tian Department, and soon, several days had passed.

During these days, there had been a major battle between the armies of Da Xia and the savage tribes at the border, just as Gu Chen had anticipated; it was the savage tribes that were gaining the upper hand. However, Da Xia used newly established defenses to hold a defensive position which so far was successful in stalling the enemy.

Yulong City, in the meantime, had been relatively calm over this period, with no signs of a surprise attack from the savage tribes. Gu Chen took this time to continuously contemplate the Heavenly Seed and refine his domain, day and night.

Indeed, as he initially guessed, contemplating the Heavenly Seed was far easier than contemplating the external realms of the Nine States.

Just a few days had passed, and Gu Chen could feel a slight increase in his domain compared to before.

His strength had also improved a bit as a result.

Though it was a very slight progression, it was still enough, considering how little time had passed. He knew that after reaching the Coagulation Field realm, progress for a warrior was usually measured in years; not days as it was for Gu Chen.

Spreading the word would shock everyone.

Although the days passed without any sign of the savage tribes, Gu Chen was not in a hurry. His strength grew with each passing day, so the later the savage tribes came, the better.

However, Gu Chen also understood that the savage tribes, typically rash in character, wouldn't be able to remain patient for long.

"Savage tribes, I'm right here waiting for you!" A trace of coldness flashed in Gu Chen's eyes.
