Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1010 - 85: The Light of the Primordial Spirit and the Essence of Solar Fire

The light of the primordial spirit can nourish the original spirit of cultivators. It is especially effective for those who are breaking through from the Cave Heaven Realm to the God Transformation Realm, helping to condense the primordial spirit.

Not only that, but the light of the primordial spirit can also baptize the primordial spirit itself, purging the redundant and retaining the essence, making it a rare treasure in the outside world.

As for the essence of solar fire, naturally, there is no need to elaborate. It is the quintessence of true solar fire, which, if acquired by a master of the fire path, possesses tremendous utility that can transform their own flame.

It can be said that even among all the top monstrous talents, upon hearing about these two extraordinary items, their eyes collectively lit up with great interest.

After all, among them, such as Yan Qi and others, had already reached the full completion of the Cave Heaven Realm, even deriving their own internal cave heavens, and were on the verge of breaking through to the God Transformation Realm.

The light of the primordial spirit was highly useful to them, able to help them abbreviate the time needed to break through directly.

"The essence of solar fire, I have claimed it!" At this moment, Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan spoke, his eyes glowing intensely, highly determined to obtain the essence of solar fire.

After all, the strongest technique of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan is the true solar fire. In essence, the essence of solar fire was the most fitting treasure for him, even more so than the light of the primordial spirit.

Gu Chen glanced at him but said nothing. He also mastered the true solar fire, and thus held a keen interest in the so-called essence of solar fire.

Although, as long as the levels of the Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra were improved, both Gu Chen's strength and the purity of his true solar fire would continue to enhance, but the essence of solar fire was also crucial for him, saving a vast amount of merit points.

Moreover, once the true solar fire became powerful, it could even incinerate his own body, tempering Gu Chen's physique and further enhancing his combat strength.

Thus, no matter what, Gu Chen was also determined to obtain the essence of solar fire.

"Qingyun Academy really goes all out. I didn't expect that as soon as we entered, an ancient path site would be opened to aid our cultivation!" someone exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, Princess Xidie spoke, "Everyone, don't get too excited. Within the ancient path site, it is said that wild beasts that have lived for many years reside, and each of their strengths is very formidable. A slight carelessness can lead to death."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, many were startled, and the initial joy was largely dissipated.

"The items from Qingyun Academy are indeed not easily acquired," someone shook their head.

"Powerful wild beasts?" Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression shifted; he became even more interested in the so-called ancient path site.

It was because, after the recent panel update, as long as he killed these other races as well as various wild and ferocious beasts, he could obtain the corresponding merit points.

With the opening of the ancient path site, not only were there extraordinary items like the light of the primordial spirit and the essence of solar fire, but there were also a large number of wild beasts present, which greatly benefitted Gu Chen's strength, exciting him.

"Perhaps, I can use this opportunity to reach the great completion of the Cave Heaven Realm directly," Gu Chen thought to himself.

After all, it had been almost half a year since his breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm, and Gu Chen believed he had spent enough time at this level.

It is noteworthy that he rarely stayed at one level for such a long time, as Gu Chen's pace of cultivation advancement was usually extremely fast.

Not only Gu Chen, but many others were also intrigued by the news Princess Xidie revealed and decided to participate in the ancient path site once it opened.

"By the way, I heard that Saintess Chu Yue Ling from Taoxu Road has also joined Qingyun Academy, but why haven't we seen her yet?" Wang Yuan from Zifu School spoke, curiously.

Yan Qi from the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan replied, "That's because, after that saintess arrived here, the dean of Qingyun Academy opened the academy's largest fortune ground for her. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be in seclusion now."

"The academy's largest fortune ground?" The assembly of monstrous geniuses was somewhat surprised, secretly admiring it suited the saintess of Taoxu Road who was invited to the academy and treated with the highest standard by the dean.

"Do you all know what is the cultivation level of that Taoxu Road Saintess?" Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect inquired.

"It is said that she had entered the God Transformation Realm some time ago," Yan Qi revealed after a moment of silence.

"Already entered the God Transformation Realm?" Gu Chen was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this; he thought his own advancement pace was fast, but didn't expect Saintess Chu Yue Ling to stand way above, far surpassing the other monstrous geniuses.

"If she is in the academy's largest fortune ground, then she isn't likely far from the Huanxu Realm," it was very clear to everyone.

"Is this what qualifies one to be listed on the Dao Gold List among the monstrous talents?" someone sighed profoundly, expressing utmost admiration.

Saintess Chu Yue Ling, surpassing many domains, rarely took action, but many in the upper realms believed that the Dao Gold List must include her among its ranks.

This was already akin to a fact recognized by the upper realms.

Even the proud Ao Guang from the Kui Niu Clan, when discussing Saintess Chu Yue Ling, revealed deep apprehension in his eyes.

In his view, the biggest threat to him in the entire Qingyun Academy, and the one he felt most uncertain about, was none other than Taoxu Road's Saintess Chu Yue Ling.

Soon after, the assembly of monstrous talents continued their discussion for a while before dispersing.

The following month was a tranquil time in Qingyun Academy since their entrance, with everyone silently cultivating hard.

Bearing in mind the news revealed by Princess Xidie, many were aware that the ancient path site would soon open, marking the first clash among the monstrous talents from the ten domains!

The light of the primordial spirit and the essence of solar fire were enough to excite a group

This very reason had attracted many remarkable creatures here.

Soon, Gu Chen also arrived near the Ancient Path Site. Before its opening, the area was enveloped by a barrier of light, a restriction set by the academy, preventing outsiders from entering.

It was called a cave dwelling, but in reality, it was a massive mountain peak, with animal cries and ape howls echoing around, ancient trees robust, and clouds faintly veiling the scenery, presenting a primordial vista.

Many prodigies and remarkable creatures gathered here, waiting for the Ancient Path Site to open.

Gu Chen took a brief survey of the surroundings and realized not all the talented creatures had arrived.

For example, Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and Ao Guang from the Azure Dragon Clan weren't present.

Neither were members from the Kui Niu Clan or the Azure Luan Clan.

"The time has come, the Ancient Path Site is opening!" Alongside the announcement, the assistant in charge formed hand seals, and the light barrier enveloping the massive mountain peak disappeared in a flash.

In an instant, everyone present rushed forward, racing to seize their own fortunes.

Amidst the chaos, Gu Chen felt a surge of intense hostility. His gaze shifted and spotted a young man not far away with brooding eyes and a lanky but strong figure, staring right at him.

Gu Chen did not recognize this man and couldn't understand why such deep hostility was directed at him.

"Could it be Tobu Ying?" Gu Chen suddenly remembered this person.

Tobu Ying, Tobu Jun's elder brother, had only clashed with Tobu Jun since joining Qingyun Academy.

Besides Tobu Ying, he could think of no other.

"Gu Bai?" The voice reached Gu Chen's ears, a mental transmission from the young man.

"I am Tobu Ying. You injured my younger brother. I won't kill you in the Ancient Path Site, but I will cripple you. Watch yourself," Tobu Ying said with dark, cold eyes, staring unabashedly at Gu Chen.

Even that hostility was glaringly obvious; Tobu Ying clearly didn't mind Gu Chen noticing it.

Obviously, he didn't hold Gu Chen in high regard, otherwise, he wouldn't act this way.

In the span of a month, Tobu Ying had made a tremendous breakthrough, successfully reaching the full completion of the Cave Heaven Realm!

He had opened up no less than three hundred sixty-five heavenly veins within his body. If not for the opening of the Ancient Path Site, where he came to collect divine light for the God Transformation Realm preparations, he might have even developed an internal cave heaven by now.

But Tobu Ying believed that his current strength was more than enough to deal with Gu Chen.

As one of the top prodigious figures in the East Profound Region, much older than Gu Chen, if he lacked even this confidence, Tobu Ying would not be worthy of his place on the Dao Gold List.

"Gu Bai, you are but a stepping stone for Tobu Ying!" he said coldly.

Though they had not spoken aloud, communicating instead through mental transmissions, the tense standoff between them was nonetheless perceived by many onlookers.

"Indeed, Tobu Ying has set his sights on Gu Bai!"

"Tobu Ying, like his brother Tobu Jun, never lets go of a grudge. Now that he's out, he surely won't let Gu Bai off the hook."

"What do you think, if these two were to fight, who would win?"

"It's hard to say. If it were before Tobu Ying's breakthrough, I'd have favored Gu Bai, but now, I think it's a fifty-fifty."

Gu Chen's face remained expressionless; he didn't take Tobu Ying's threat to heart at all.

So what if he's reached full completion of the Cave Heaven Realm? Gu Chen felt he could crush him with one hand!

"If someone insists on seeking death, then I can't stop them, can I?" Gu Chen glanced at Tobu Ying briefly before diverting his gaze.

"Brother Gu, do you need help?" At this moment, Zhen Yuan from Wuji Taoist Gate, Bai Jingyuan from Cloud Heaven Palace, and Su Nan from the Sumeru Buddhist Sect approached Gu Chen, seeing the situation.

"There's no need, just a jumping clown that's easily subdued," Gu Chen said with a light laugh.

Such comments, unhidden, immediately drew many sidelong glances.

"If needed, just speak, Brother Gu," Zhen Yuan and the others said.

"Thank you, all three of you," Gu Chen nodded, expressing his gratitude.

Soon, the gathering descended upon this mammoth mountain peak.

Tobu Ying, strong and agile, his entire demeanor like that of a fierce beast, exuded a dangerous aura as he walked straight toward Gu Chen.

Many spectators took interest at the sight, although many others, intent on seizing their own fortunes, glanced once and then chose to leave.

Among the assembly of creatures, individuals like Yan Qi did not linger, but only Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect and Chu Liufeng from the Chu Family stayed behind.

Zhen Yuan from Wuji Taoist Gate, Bai Jingyuan from Cloud Heaven Palace, and Su Nan from the Sumeru Buddhist Sect, out of concern, also chose to stay.

"Tell me, between Gu Bai and Tobu Ying, who do you favor more?" Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect turned to Chu Liufeng.

Both were top creatures in their respective domains, much stronger than Tobu Ying, and their opinions were highly credible.

Chu Liufeng's eyes shifted, sizing up Gu Chen and Tobu Ying, and smiled, "I favor Gu Bai more."

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "On the contrary, I favor Tobu Ying more. Gu Bai always seems strong on the outside but hollow inside, and considering that Tobu Ying has now reached the full completion of the Cave Heaven Realm, Gu Bai might not necessarily match up."

Chu Liufeng just smiled faintly, saying nothing but quietly watching the standoff between Gu Chen and Tobu Ying in the center.
