Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1027 - 94: Impersonation_2

Thus, Gu Chen had said that Chen Xuan had played his cards well, securing an immense benefit for himself.

Now, even if Gu Chen came forward and claimed it was he who had rescued Princess Xidie, the people of the world would not believe him.

After all, first impressions are powerful, and Gu Chen had no way to explain the matter of his divine powers.

Furthermore, if he really did so, he would actually give his detractors something to work with, attracting countless scorn and ridicule, with Chen Xuan certainly not missing the opportunity to suppress Gu Chen.

"Look, Brother Chen and Princess Xidie have appeared!"

At this moment, by a spirit lake not far away, a man and a woman appeared. The man was dressed in gold-threaded jade attire with a handsome appearance, and a piece of jade hanging from his waist – he was the top genius of Yuexiao Sect, Chen Xuan.

The other was a woman with an oval face and cloud-like black hair, dressed in a palace costume with picturesque eyebrows and a straight nose, rosy and petite lips, and skin that was fair and radiant. She was none other than Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, one of the ten great beauties of the spiritual realms.

Arm in arm, the two walked down a path, with a blue spirit lake with mist wafting over it not far away. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, fragrant flowers dotted the landscape, making Chen Xuan and Princess Xidie look like a couple made in heaven.

"It looks like it's true, Brother Chen is going to win the beauty!" someone said, looking at the stunningly beautiful Princess Xidie with a hint of sourness in their voice.

"Oh, come on, even if Brother Chen hadn't appeared, do you think Princess Xidie would take a fancy to you? She's the tenth princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and a prodigy who reached the top of the White Jade Stairs!"

Someone threw cold water on the envious person, remarking as such.

Chen Xuan and Princess Xidie strolled through Qingyun Academy, chatting and laughing. Without anyone saying more, their relationship seemed very close, leading others to speculate wildly.

"Congratulations, Young Master Chen, for getting your wish, condensing your primordial spirit, and breaking through to the God Transformation Realm," Princess Xidie said with a sweet smile, her graceful figure and flawless pale skin seeming to glow with charm, irresistibly enticing.

Countless people seeing this scene felt their bones go soft, envying Chen Xuan and wishing they were the ones standing beside Princess Xidie, receiving her personal congratulations.

Chen Xuan's face was naturally overflowing with a happy smile. He was delighted and could feel the envious glances cast his way, which made him even more proud.

"That's hardly the case," replied Chen Xuan with admiration. "I was simply lucky enough to obtain three strands of primordial spirit light and then break through. But you, Princess, are so young, and you've already reached the God Transformation Realm."

He was truly astonished. Princess Xidie was only twenty-four years old, a full seven years younger than him, yet her cultivation level was equal to his, which genuinely shocked him.

With a shallow smile and dimples on her cheeks, Princess Xidie said, "It's thanks to the Emperor's favor, bestowing sacred medicine upon me to aid my cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have progressed so quickly."

"Sacred medicine?!"

Chen Xuan was inwardly shocked. Only celestial treasures older than ten thousand years could be called sacred medicine, exclusive to Great Powers and sovereign figures. Even as a holy son of the Yuexiao Sect, the strongest of his generation, he had never been given any.

Not to mention acquiring, he had never even seen such a thing, as it was not within his reach.

"Truly the most favored tenth princess," Gu Chen exclaimed in surprise upon hearing of the sacred medicine.

He had gone through great effort to upgrade his Sky Eye to the seventh rank and only then could he obtain a nine-thousand-year-old herb in the Gray Domain, while Princess Xidie had effortlessly received a sacred medicine.

One could really say, comparing oneself to others will only make one frustrated. The treatment these second-generation cultivators receive is truly exceptional, and sometimes even Gu Chen couldn't help but feel envious.

With the aid of sacred medicine, and most likely the assistance of Great Powers to help them assimilate the effects of the medicine, it is perfectly normal for Princess Xidie to rapidly break through the Cave Heaven Realm and reach the God Transformation Realm.

As for Chen Xuan, who is inherently the holy son of a colossal force like the Yuexiao Sect, and the strongest among the younger generation, having spent quite some time in the Cave Heaven Realm, attempting to open his sea of consciousness multiple times and having obtained the Light of the Primordial Spirit, his breakthrough was unsurprising.

Even Gu Chen knew that during his little more than a month of seclusion, other freaks of nature, like Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, must have also broken through.

After all, they are all older than Gu Chen, backed by top-tier powers, and have also joined the Qingyun Academy. They've been in the full completion of the Cave Heaven Realm for no short time, and like Chen Xuan, their breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm is reasonable and justifiable.

However, if Gu Chen were to tell others that less than a year ago he was still a warrior in the Heavenly Man Realm, and now he had also reached the God Transformation Realm, certainly no one would believe him and would think he was bragging.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Chen Xuan, who was strolling with Princess Xidie, seemed to sense something and turned his gaze to see Gu Chen standing not far away.

Having not seen him for over a month, for some reason, Chen Xuan felt that Gu Chen seemed a little different?

"His demeanor seems to have undergone quite a change," Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

When Chen Xuan noticed Gu Chen, Princess Xidie naturally saw him as well.

At this moment, the princess's bright eyes sparkled slightly as she nodded lightly to Gu Chen and said in her soft and melodic voice, "What a coincidence, Young Master Gu Bai, I didn't expect to see you here?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "I just came out from the academy's secret chamber and happened to pass by here."

"It seems that Young Master Gu has made significant progress in his cultivation over the past month," Princess Xidie said with a light smile, her eyes clear and lustrous, her eyelashes fluttering like cicada wings; even dressed in her palace outfit, she couldn't hide her exquisitely proportioned figure.

"I have had some gains," Gu Chen nodded slightly, as after all the other party was the tenth princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, very polite to him, and there was no need to make an enemy of her.

"Has Young Master Gu reached the God Transformation Realm?" Princess Xidie asked with a smile, her bright eyes conveying kindness and a mischievous smile. In just a few words, she attempted to probe Gu Chen's depth.

This time, Gu Chen just smiled slightly without answering.

And hearing Princess Xidie's question, Chen Xuan's heart jumped, the thought of Gu Chen breaking through to the God Transformation Realm as he had wasn't exactly good news.

"Princess, let's continue to look around elsewhere," Chen Xuan said, finding an excuse, feeling an inexplicable surge of jealousy, hoping to draw Princess Xidie away from Gu Chen.

In a soft voice, Princess Xidie said, "There's no rush, there's some information that happens to be something I'd like to share with Young Master Gu, something I think he will find very interesting."

"Oh?" Gu Chen laughed upon hearing this, thinking that although they had some interaction, he didn't feel that she could understand him so well.

But the next words from Princess Xidie did indeed make Gu Chen's expression turn serious.

"I've received information that Chu Yue Ling, the Saintess of Taoxu Road, has come out of seclusion."
