Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1003 - 81: The Location of the Second Jade Piece (Three updates of ten thousand words, please subscribe!)

Zhen Yuan, the holy son of the Ultimate Taoist sect, had a particularly deep friendship with Gu Chen during their time in the Jiuzhou region, and the two had established quite a profound friendship.

This sacred place was located in the East Profound Region, and at this moment, Zhen Yuan had successfully reached the summit of the White Jade Stairs and arrived here.

The Ultimate Taoist Sect, Cloud Heaven Palace, and Sumeru Buddhist Sect were all renowned sacred land-level forces in the East Profound Region. Although they were not as transcendent as Taoxu Road, they were not to be underestimated and ranked at the top of this realm.

Among them, compared to Bai Jingyuan, the holy son of Cloud Heaven Palace, and Su Nan, the Buddhist son of the Sumeru Sect, Zhen Yuan's talent was clearly more outstanding. He had surpassed both of them and successfully topped the trial at Qingyun Academy.

Gu Chen had changed his appearance through the Heaven Seed and the Immortal Sacred Body; hence, even Zhen Yuan, facing him directly, failed to recognize him.

Not to mention, there was now a considerable gap in the cultivation realms between the two.

Even though both were of the Cave Heaven Realm, Zhen Yuan's heavenly meridians were significantly inferior compared to Gu Chen's.

But the fact that he could make it this far was enough to prove his extraordinary nature.

Seeing Gu Chen, although Zhen Yuan did not recognize him, they were both of the Human Clan, so the latter nodded slightly as a greeting.

Gu Chen still had a good impression of Zhen Yuan, but after pondering it, he decided not to reveal his identity and merely nodded in return.

Subsequently, several other geniuses belonging to top forces reached the summit. Without exception, including Zhen Yuan, they all arrived here and underwent the baptism of the Light of Purification, which purified their flesh and spirit, removing many impurities, and yielding significant benefits.

Just when everyone thought no one else would appear here, a woman managed to reach this place, climbing to the top of the White Jade Stairs.

"Princess Xidie?"

The Sunbird and other monstrous geniuses blinked in surprise, finding it quite unexpected that the woman who had arrived was Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

It was known that Princess Xidie was the youngest among these individuals, only twenty-four years old this year, yet she had succeeded in reaching the summit.

"No wonder Princess Xidie is so favored by the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's emperor; her talent is indeed extraordinary," many realized.

As the beloved pearl of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's emperor, Princess Xidie hardly ever took action, which meant few people knew how exceptional she was.

But today, during the assessment at Qingyun Academy, this group of monstrous geniuses discovered that Princess Xidie's talent might not be weaker than any of theirs.

Princess Xidie was tall and graceful, with cloud-like black hair, a flawless face, and snow-white skin, undeniably one of the top ten beauties in the spiritual realm.

In fact, many even believed that Princess Xidie could be ranked first among the top ten beauties of the spiritual realm!

Whether it be status, talent, or appearance, there were no faults to pick; saying she was the first among the top ten beauties of the spiritual realm really convinced people.

"Perhaps, only Chu Yue Ling, the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road who surpasses many realms, could firmly surpass Princess Xidie," these monstrous geniuses thought to themselves.

Chu Yue Ling, the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, was a remarkable woman even in the vast upper world, adored and pursued by countless young talents, her talent and strength both extremely extraordinary.

Even among these many monstrous geniuses, only Chu Yue Ling, the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, was specially invited to join Qingyun Academy without even needing to go through the assessment.

Moreover, it was said that it was the dean of Qingyun Academy who personally went to Taoxu Road to invite Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling to join the academy.

Otherwise, the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road would most likely not have come here.

Frankly, many of the monstrous geniuses present at Qingyun Academy harbored the desire to get close to Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling.

After all, whether on a personal level or in terms of the forces behind her, Chu Yue Ling was extremely extraordinary.

Taoxu Road, even among the upper world's forces possessing Great Powers, could be ranked at the very forefront, as a primary pillar of the Human Clan!

Even powerful races like the Sunbird or the Chi Dragon Clan did not wish to provoke Taoxu Road.

Looking at the entire upper world's 3,600 domains, Taoxu Road could be called one of the top forces, transcendent and superior to most others, unparalleled even by other forces with Great Powers.

Only when Gu Chen arrived in the upper world did he realize how powerful Taoxu Road was, and how extraordinary Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling was.

Of course, the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was very strong too, and Princess Xidie was also exceptionally beautiful, receiving much admiration.

Her appearance here drew many attentive gazes, as her every movement was imbued with a unique charm. Even though the summit was filled with outstanding individuals at the pinnacle of the realm, they couldn't help but be attracted to her.

"Eh?"

After Princess Xidie underwent the baptism of the Light of Purification, her bright eyes swept over the figures at the top of the White Jade Stairs. She seemed surprised to see Gu Chen, for he was the only one among the monstrous geniuses she did not recognize; the others had long been famous.

"Could it be him?" the thought suddenly arose in Princess Xidie's heart.

But then, she shook her head discreetly, denying the possibility.

Shortly after being rescued from the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights by that mysterious savior, the Great Powers of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty arrived.

Having failed to discover her savior's identity, Princess Xidie felt rather disappointed and requested the Great Powers of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty to exert their tremendous power in an effort to trace the mysterious person's whereabouts.
