Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 930 - 37 Who is Gu Jiuge_2

However, participants must not exceed the Cave Heaven Realm in cultivation level, as this is a restriction.

Therefore, many are itching to try their luck, especially those who come from ordinary forces are even more so.

At this moment, within a distant team, Xuan Yi Sect’s Ling Fei and Liao Yun were present. The latter’s face was flushed with excitement, a clear indication of his inner agitation.

"Junior Sister, we must succeed, secure two spots, and join forces to enter. We’ll search for opportunities inside and strive to reach the late-phase of the Celestial Realm or even perfection, and perhaps even break through directly to the Cave Heaven Realm!" Liao Yun clenched his fists, psyching himself up.

Ling Fei was pale and beautiful, with a slender waist and a calm and indifferent expression; she did not show any signs of excitement.

In response to Liao Yun’s words, she simply nodded slightly, without saying much.

Seeing this, Liao Yun was not surprised, as he was well aware that this was just how Ling Fei was.

At that time, the two suddenly heard a buzz of discussion. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"With the gathering of tumultuous forces in Qingzhou, powerhouses and sacred lands from the Human Clan, like the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley, have all arrived. The Tiankui Clan, Blood Orchid Clan, Soaring Snake Clan, and the Jiuying Clan from different races are here too. Yet, why is the mysterious Gu Jiuge nowhere to be seen?"

"Indeed, I’ve heard that Gu Jiuge is extremely enigmatic. Apart from appearing in Han State, no one has seen him elsewhere, and he isn’t present here either. Could it be that he would abstain from such a grand gathering?"

"Even people from those reclusive sects have arrived, so why hasn’t Gu Jiuge shown up yet? He is the first among the younger generation of the Gray Domain to be ranked on the world’s gold list. I really want to know who he actually is!"

For a time, there was a flurry of discussion about Gu Chen, with everyone curious as to why he hadn’t yet appeared.

All attendees of the grand event were aware of the weight the name Gu Jiuge carried; if he desired to make an appearance, he could even skip the assessment and directly enter, just like Gu Yan and the others.

At that moment, within the crowd, Ling Fei’s eyes slightly stirred. Every time she heard this familiar name, it caused a ripple in her heart.

As for Liao Yun, his expression darkened, cursing his bad luck inwardly. Every time he heard that name, he felt extremely uncomfortable, yet he dared not voice his feelings, instead directing his anger towards Gu Chen in the Medicinal Valley of Meteor State.

"A lucky bastard, to share a name with such an outstanding figure, makes me tremble inside every time I hear it!" Liao Yun cursed internally.

This was just a snapshot of the larger scene. As the grand event was about to start, Gu Chen’s name was being discussed in many places.

Even the powers from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, and different races such as the Tiankui Clan, Blood Orchid Clan, Soaring Snake Clan, as well as the Jiuying Clan, were all brimming with curiosity.

They all wanted to know who exactly Gu Jiuge was, but to their surprise, he still hadn’t appeared yet.

Everyone was highly curious about this individual, the first among the younger generation of the Gray Domain to be titled on the gold list.

"Ningshan, do you know which sect Gu Jiuge comes from? Is it Hovering Island, Yin Yang Heaven Sect, or some other?" The Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, who was the center of attention, turned to the woman with delicate and charming features standing beside him.

She was Xue Ningshan, the current successor of the reclusive Lingdao Mountain sect.

Upon hearing this, she gently shook her head and said, "I do not know; this person indeed is very mysterious."

Hearing that even Xue Ningshan, from a reclusive sect like himself, did not know, Gu Yan’s brow furrowed unintentionally.

Regarding Gu Jiuge, all he knew was the other’s exploits in Han State, and that the person had only appeared there.

What concerned Gu Yan the most was that, according to information obtained by the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Jiuge was an acquaintance of Gu Qingyan, who had the Body of Xuan Yin from the Frost Soul Sect. Moreover, Gu Qingyan was the sister of the person from the lower realm. This made Gu Yan feel that something didn’t quite add up.

"Could it be you?" With this thought, the current ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty’s eyes turned cold. He had a particularly deep impression of the only person who had ever defeated him.

Meanwhile, as time passed, it was finally announced that the selection had officially begun.

Gu Yan and a group of the most outstanding prodigies from the Gray Domain heard this statement and cast only a brief glance before looking away.

To them, aside from a few exceptions, everyone else was negligible; not to mention those just there to make up the numbers. They couldn’t be bothered to take a longer look, feeling it a waste of time.

The most urgent task at hand was to find Gu Jiuge. Only by knowing both friend and foe could they emerge unscathed from all battles. Many people didn’t believe that such a grand event would be ignored by the prodigious younger generation.

"It has finally started! I am going to enter and find my fortune, then rise to the heavens in one go!" Upon hearing that the selection had finally begun, someone was excited and clenched their fists tightly!

"Originating from the last great epoch’s Cave Heaven Realm, it must contain all sorts of incredible opportunities and inheritances. I will give it my all to obtain them, to reverse the fate of my sect!"

"I need to break through, I need the spiritual medicine, to use as an engagement gift for my junior sister!"

In an instant, all the participants’ blood boiled with excitement, each with their own goals, choosing to enter this Cave Heaven Realm.

At that moment, a grand voice resounded throughout the vast city of Qingzhou, saying, "The selection officially begins. After entering the secret realm, life and death are determined by fate. Those above one hundred years of age or who possess cultivation exceeding the Cave Heaven Realm, please do not participate, otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation!"

This was the voice of a sanctified Earth realm powerhouse, aimed at warning certain unlawful individuals and advising them not to entertain any other ideas or want to fish in troubled waters.

"My path, my Dao, is right there; I must break in!" A young being gritted their teeth and clenched their fists. They were an independent cultivator without a master. Anything they wanted had to be fought for on their own.

Gu Chen was also amid the crowd, his expression calm as he followed the crowd moving forward.

Along the way, he keenly noticed that Da Xia’s Human Emperor was also moving ahead.

The first trial was a great formation. Although formation masters were extremely rare, given the vastness of the Upper Realm, there were naturally some of them.

"Ahh..."

Soon, the formation lit up, ejecting group after group of failures. Inside, fierce winds surged, and thunder and lightning flashed. To pass the trial, one had to survive for a quarter of an hour within it.

Then, as time was up, a large number of people entered, but only a tiny fraction managed to get through.

Following that, the second group, the third group...

Despite the large number of participants, the formation was terrifying, rapidly filtering out people, with each group having very few pass through, not even one-tenth.

It didn’t take long for Gu Chen to see that Da Xia’s Human Emperor went in and successfully endured the fifteen minutes.

Shortly after that, some time passed, and it was Gu Chen’s turn. As expected, he also passed smoothly.

The failures were extremely discouraged, but there was only one chance; if they failed, they had to leave.

As for the successful ones, special personnel led them away to a stone stele. After the first trial, about seventy percent of people were eliminated, but the remaining number was still significant.

"This trial tests combat strength. The strong may proceed, the weak must retreat. Don’t think about hiding your abilities, or you might very well lose your chance!" the person overseeing the test said this.
