Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 847 - 594: Invincible Belief

"Gu Chen… you're back?!"

At this moment, immense joy filled the young emperor's mind, and for a time, he cast off his earlier listlessness, becoming exceedingly excited.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "I have already heard about what happened from Commander Wei and the others. Your Majesty, rest assured, leave those people to me, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Good... good!" Ji Yuan nodded tremulously. He didn't ask whether Gu Chen could do it because all he could do now was believe unconditionally.

"Your Majesty, there's another matter that's very important to me. Where are my second uncle and his family? I've searched all over Tiandu and haven't found them," Gu Chen said with a serious expression, asking with a heavy voice.

On hearing this, Ji Yuan sighed softly and said, "I am sorry, I am not sure where they have gone either, but I do know that before leaving, your second uncle left a letter for you."

Soon after, Ji Yuan summoned an eunuch, who, under his instruction, retrieved a letter and handed it to Gu Chen.

"This is… Qinyan's handwriting?" Gu Chen recognized the signature on the letter at once.

Then, Gu Chen urgently opened the letter; he needed to know where his second uncle's family had gone.

At this moment, no one dared to disturb Gu Chen, everyone waited in silence.

"The Upper Realm…" Quickly finishing the letter, Gu Chen's expression grew complicated.

He had never expected that his second uncle's family would take the initiative to go to the Upper Realm before him.

Yes, it was their initiative, not coercion.

The letter began with Gu Qingyan's words, followed by the handwriting of his second uncle Gu Chengfeng and his aunt Xu Qinge, expressing their longing for him.

The reason they left was due to a decision made by Gu Qingyan.

More than half a year ago, Gu Qingyan had encountered a warrior from the Upper Realm, who, upon realizing that Gu Qingyan was a Xuan Yin constitution, was greatly moved and wanted to take her to the Upper Realm.

However, she also respected Gu Qingyan's stance and did not forcibly abduct her, earning Gu Qingyan's favor.

Initially, Gu Qingyan intended to reject the offer outright, as she was uninterested in cultivation; otherwise, Gu Chen would have set her foundation long ago.

But ultimately, due to certain reasons, Gu Qingyan changed her mind, taking her second uncle and aunt, and together as a family, they went to the Upper Realm before the closure of the divine portal.

"Qinyan…" Gu Chen sighed softly, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Gu Qingyan's change of heart was naturally because of Gu Chen; she realized deeply the heavy responsibilities he carried.

As Gu Chen's family, Gu Qingyan naturally wanted to help him and not feel powerless time and again.

Furthermore, it wasn't that she lacked the ability, but rather that Gu Chen had protected her so well before that she didn't want to face it herself.

But this time, Gu Chen's departure prompted her to think a lot.

Therefore, after deep reflection, Gu Qingyan decided to go to the Upper Realm for cultivation. On the one hand, she could pave the way for Gu Chen, as they both understood that Gu Chen would eventually go to the Upper Realm.

On the other hand, Gu Qingyan wanted to share in all future burdens with Gu Chen, unwilling to let him bear everything alone.

At the end of the letter, she wrote by hand, "Big brother, I believe you will be safe and nothing will bring you down. Dad, mom, and I, we will all be waiting for you in the Upper Realm."

After reading the letter, although Gu Chen still longed for his family, he felt somewhat reassured.

A Xuan Yin constitution would advance at breakneck speed in cultivation, and being in the Upper Realm was like giving a fish the vast ocean and a bird the limitless sky; Gu Qingyan would certainly make great strides.

Of this, Gu Chen had no doubt.

At the same time, a warm current flowed through Gu Chen's heart, and he smiled and said, "This time, you've gotten ahead of your big brother. We have a deal; let's meet in the Upper Realm!"

At this moment, Gu Chen's resolve was firmer than ever. Whether it was to climb to the peaks of cultivation or for his second uncle's family, he had to go to the Upper Realm.
