Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 769 - 544 - The Inheritance Location, The Mysterious Space_1

At this moment, Gu Chen was using the ultimate technique, the Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method, his eyes transformed into two dark whirlpools containing a lethal attraction that involuntarily drew in Luo Shisen's spirit.

Soon, Luo Shisen's complexion gradually regained its composure and became deathly still, his aura dissipating suddenly as he stood there, expressionless and motionless.

The Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method was a peerless skill that Gu Chen had deduced and integrated based on the God Tempering Heart Sutras, techniques from the Da Yuan Country's Sage Shiba Shitu, and several Heavenly Martial Skills.

Its mighty power was immense, capable of completely controlling a person's mind, eradicating their consciousness, and turning them into a puppet.

Now, Luo Shisen was just like that, even though he was a direct disciple of the sacred land and a leading figure when Sage Fu Ling of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect was not present, he had fallen to the same fate.

This was the formidable strength of the current Gu Chen. After the entire nation's support had bolstered him, even those who had achieved full mastery in the Divine Intent Realm could hardly resist him, as evidenced by Luo Shisen before his eyes.

Perhaps, only those so-called Sage level characters might be able to contend with the current Gu Chen.

This scene was one that Gu Chen had foreseen using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill. He had his own reasons for turning Luo Shisen into a puppet.

In the near future, demons would rampage across the land, and Da Xia's high-level combat strength was too scarce. As Luo Shisen was at the peak of the Divine Intent Realm and a direct disciple of the sacred land, although his combat abilities decreased significantly after his consciousness was eradicated and he became a puppet, he was still of the Divine Intent Realm nonetheless.

And this was just the beginning. Since the higher realm intended to annihilate the Nine Provinces and seize the Nine Tripods, Gu Chen would ensure they had a one-way trip.

"Go,"

At Gu Chen's command, the expressionless and somewhat lost Luo Shisen soared into the sky and left the area.

Chu Yue Ling, standing nearby, watched this without speaking and then joined Gu Chen's side, and the two set off together once again.

The matter with Luo Shisen was only a minor interlude. After they set off again, Gu Chen utilized the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill to deduce, and soon, he pinpointed a specific location.

"It's right here."

Standing atop the firmament, Gu Chen with his handsome looks and Chu Yue Ling's stunning beauty, both bearing transcendent auras, resembled banished immortals walking through the mortal world. If seen by others, they would undoubtedly be mistaken for divine lovers.

"If nothing goes wrong, the Nine Tripods should be right beneath this place," said Gu Chen, his expression somewhat grave.

Had Chu Yue Ling not led him to the determined province, no matter how sophisticated Gu Chen's Divine Intent Realm was or how adept he was at using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, it would have been extremely difficult to calculate the whereabouts of the Nine Tripods. A miscalculation could touch upon the secrets of heaven, bringing about divine punishment and potentially injuring himself.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground trembled and soil and rocks surged. For Gu Chen at his current martial realm, achieving something like this was virtually effortless.

Quickly, layers of earth were flung aside, revealing an entrance large enough for two persons to pass through.

With a swoosh and without any hesitation, Gu Chen and Chu Yue Ling rushed in together, protective auras shining around them as they pressed forward into the depths.

And as they ventured deeper, getting closer to the heart of the earth, the surrounding temperature rose gradually until it became unbearably hot.

Luckily, both of their martial cultivations were exceptional, and they could withstand the heat of the earth's core.

Indeed, before long, molten magma could be seen churning below them, with countless sparks flickering in the scorching heat that filled every corner of the area.

At that moment, Chu Yue Ling stepped aside and noticed that, unexpectedly, Gu Chen had vanished without a trace.

Upon realizing this, the Saintess of Taoxu Road's clear eyes flickered uncertainly as she muttered to herself, "Could he be the one chosen after all?"

Of course, she was aware that Gu Chen hadn't just discovered the Nine Tripods' location and abandoned her mid-way.

Because, even though Gu Chen was extraordinary, he certainly couldn't disappear into thin air right beside her.

Or rather, even among the vast higher realms, there was no one of his peer who could do such a thing, deceiving her senses to her face.

Chu Yue Ling still had confidence in that respect.

But since this had happened, it meant that Gu Chen was passive in the process; perhaps the legacy of the Nine Tripods had selected him.

This also happened to confirm the guesses in the heart of the Saintess of Taoxu Road.

"Indeed, Emperor Yu's legacy can only be acknowledged by native creatures born in the Nine Provinces, entirely dashing the hopes of outsiders?"

Chu Yue Ling looked around. No matter how she probed with her divine sense, she couldn't detect any abnormalities; everything was normal.

"Indeed, I have no fate with the Nine Tripods. Emperor Yu's demise was virtually an extension of his life through the Nine Tripods, and the Nine Provinces, evolved from the Nine Tripods, means the creatures here are essentially Emperor Yu's subjects, or perhaps his descendants?"

Chu Yue Ling pondered silently, this is what the master of Taoxu Road had told her before she descended to the lower realm.

Though it was a speculation, today's events seemed to confirm it.

"This is Emperor Yu's gift to the creatures of this world, and Gu Chen… is the successor chosen by the Nine Tripods, or rather, the remaining will of Emperor Yu," whispered Chu Yue Ling, guessing much in that instant.

"If this conjecture is true, even if the Nine Tripods are at the level where even the collapse of the Nine Provinces might not occur, there's no guarantee the Nine Tripods would appear."

Divine artifacts remain concealed, and the Nine Tripods are sentient. Even if separated, each one is a powerful holy object incomparably mighty. United, they possess supreme power capable of creating worlds, instilling a terrifying force.

Such treasures, if not chosen, couldn't be found by a supreme being from the higher realm coming to the Nine Provinces, let alone their descendants.

Emperor Yu was truly exceptional, for even in death, he left such a legacy, ensuring that all those aspiring for his inheritance would be disappointed.

"Is it not known whether Emperor Yu would leave certain safeguards within the Nine Tripods as gifts for those to come?" Chu Yueling's eyes shimmered with an uncertain divine light.

Having obtained the Nine Tripods and inherited Emperor Yu's mantle, one must bear the corresponding karma. Emperor Yu, though strong, was not invincible in the upper realm; otherwise, he would not have fallen and left the upper realm.

Emperor Yu also had enemies, and although they haven't appeared for many long years, many believe that this supremely powerful being could still be alive to this day.

Moreover, the forces left by Emperor Yu's enemies have grown into a colossus in the upper realm, commanding awe and almost as powerful as the Taoxu Road.

And the strife in the upper realm is much fiercer and more severe than the Nine Provinces below, for that is a boundless world of the great beyond where peerless heroes rise together, and men of valor are endless. In such circumstances, conflicts are bound to be relentless, escalating ever more fiercely.

Flowers raised in a greenhouse are not desirable, which is a point recognized by all major forces in the upper realm; what's more, with demonic forces coveting from all sides, if one does not rise through countless battles, how can they face those powerful demons and the imminent advent of the demon world?

"Brother Gu, if you were to inherit the legacy of the Nine Tripods, then you should indeed ascend to the upper realm," Chu Yueling murmured to herself.

All that had just transpired seemed slow but was, in fact, a flurry of thoughts flashing through Chu Yueling's mind. The words "Emperor Yu" bore tremendous significance, just as she had previously told Gu Chen. Such a figure, even in death, carried significant karma. If one frequently spoke or recited the name of such an existence, there was a certain probability of incurring calamities.

Moreover, with the Nine Tripods here as treasured artifacts once used by Emperor Yu himself, Chu Yueling did not know what might happen if she uttered Emperor Yu's name in this place.

Following this, the saintess of the Taoxu Road decisively vanished in a flash of her fairy shadow, departing from this place.

She knew that the inheritance of the Nine Tripods was no longer related to her.

...

At this moment, elsewhere, Gu Chen looked surprised as he surveyed his surroundings.

Just now, he was walking side by side with the saintess of the Taoxu Road, Chu Yueling, but in the next instant, as the light before his eyes flashed, he found himself in this place.

This was a strange space, void and tranquil, pitch black where nothing existed, as if it was before the creation of heaven and bore some resemblance to the space within the heavenly seeds.

"Where is this?"

Gu Chen's brow shone as he scanned the surroundings with his powerful divine intent, but he found nothing, unable to detect any trace of Chu Yueling.

The realm seemed boundless, vast to an extreme, his divine intent unable to reach its limits.

Then, the heavenly seed that lay dormant within Gu Chen suddenly throbbed, transmitting a certain message to him.

"Move forward?" After a moment of careful sensation, Gu Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he faintly guessed some of the truth.

Thus, Gu Chen walked in this desolate and void dark world, his body glowing, becoming the only light source in this place.

"Hm? That is..."

After an indeterminate amount of time, slivers of light finally appeared ahead, and he hurried toward them, encountering the most shocking scene he had seen since coming into existence.

Not far ahead, two tripods hovered, ancient and colossal with three legs and two ears, as though they embodied the principle of the Dao producing the one, the one producing two, two producing three, and three producing all things, containing supreme truths.

The tripods were not large but full of ancient charm and bronze in color. They lay there silently, immobile, yet emanating an awe-inspiring and overwhelming presence as if they could suppress heaven and earth.

This was incredibly astonishing and somewhat terrifying!

Moreover, the two tripods stood there, surrounded by strands of chaos energy, giving the impression that they had condensed the essence of heaven and earth, shaped the cosmos, and penetrated past, present, and future, omnipresent.

To whatever it was, even time and space would be suppressed; the still tripods contained a supreme might that could compel one to bow in reverence.

This immensely terrifying presence, even with the existence of the heavenly seed within him, put incredible, even unparalleled pressure on Gu Chen, causing his bones to crackle.

Gu Chen clenched his teeth, his body drenched in cold sweat, but he persisted and did not kneel or bow his head.

"Two tripods, could it actually be two?" At the same time, Gu Chen was greatly astonished, never expecting to come across two of the Nine Tripods on this journey.

Perhaps, it was the great changes of the ancient times, the shifting of lands that brought these two tripods together here.

This was nothing less than supreme fortune. If he could, Gu Chen would reap two of the Nine Tripods on this visit!

Even the likes of the saints, such as Fu Ling, would be overjoyed and scream in shock upon witnessing such a scene.

The gathering of two tripods, endless might, and majestic presence indicated that Gu Chen's appearance here, without being crushed by this supreme aura, already hinted at some underlying truths.

This was an incredible stroke of fortune!

And as Chu Yueling said, it was the Nine Tripods that chose Gu Chen. This means that he had a great chance of becoming the successor of Emperor Yu after endless years!

At this moment, Gu Chen also thought of this, and even with his will and temperament, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed with excitement.

After all, these were the Nine Tripods, the legacy of Emperor Yu, the ancient leader of the Human Clan. From Chu Yueling, Gu Chen already knew how extraordinary the Nine Tripods were, weapons so sublime they would be revered even in the upper realm!

One tripod alone could create a holy land-level power, not to mention two.

And should the Nine Tripods unite, their power would be astoundingly great, enough to split heaven and earth!

At this moment, with emotions surging, Gu Chen resisted the immense pressure, advancing step by step, slowly drawing nearer!
