Body cultivators, upon undergoing physical body reconstruction, can step onto this path ahead of time, especially those with extraordinary potential, may experience it three or even four times, allowing them to possess such a Dao body at a lower realm, comparable to the characters of the Great Powers in the Heavenly Realm.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression subtly shifted; he always felt that some words were deliberately told to him by Chu Yue Ling.

However, the Holy Maiden did not actually inquire but merely informed him of this information.

"Intuition?" Gu Chen pondered in his heart, he believed that with the Heavenly Seed and the Universe Cauldron, Chu Yue Ling, no matter how extraordinary, could not see through him.

Therefore, only her judgment of his potential, an indistinct intuition, and her understanding of him could lead Chu Yue Ling to these conclusions.

But no matter what, today he had gained extremely important information from Chu Yue Ling.

Whether it was the path of body cultivation or the four realms of the Yuan Shen, it was immensely significant for him and indeed allowed Gu Chen to have a clearer understanding of his future path.

"For me, as long as I continue to gain merit points and improve my cultivation techniques' realms, whether it is the physical body or the Yuan Shen, I will inevitably reach the end and achieve the highest accomplishment," Gu Chen thought to himself, his eyes flickering with determination.

This information was undoubtedly very secret, yet Chu Yue Ling had informed him quite casually, like a chat between friends, which made Gu Chen feel deeply grateful.

Chu Yue Ling had helped him much, but at the moment, Gu Chen indeed had no way to help the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road.

"I can only repay her slowly," Gu Chen sighed to himself.

Soon after, Gu Chen solemnly bowed to the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, expressing his gratitude for her information today.

Chu Yue Ling shook her head slightly, signaling Gu Chen not to worry and considering these to be trivial matters.

Moreover, she candidly stated that she informed him of these because she believed in his potential.

Subsequently, the two conversed again, but this time it was just casual talk, and afterward, Chu Yue Ling expressed her curiosity about how Gu Chen dealt with the demon calamity in Yunzhou.

Seeing this, Gu Chen recounted his experiences to her, but naturally omitted any information about the panel. As for the Universe Cauldron, since Chu Yue Ling already knew, he did not hide it.

After all, his acquisition of the Universe Cauldron was largely due to Chu Yue Ling's help, which led him to the precise location.

Gu Chen's seemingly perilous and lonely survival in the demon channel was downplayed in his narration, prompting Chu Yue Ling to look at him deeply.

After chatting for a while longer and noticing that the sky was about to brighten, they decided to part ways and each returned to Qingyun Academy.

Through their conversation, Chu Yue Ling had also learned of Gu Chen's experiences after arriving in the upper world, so she would help conceal his identity.

In front of others, their interaction would be the same as when they first met, without much communication.

At the same time, Gu Chen also learned that Chu Yue Ling, who came to Qingyun Academy, was just an incarnation like him.

Her true body was in seclusion in Taoxu Road and would not easily make an appearance.

Additionally, Chu Yue Ling also detailed to him the precautions for the future fusion of their two entities, preparing Gu Chen in advance.

In this way, the following seven days passed by quite peacefully, without any disturbances.

During this period, Chu Yue Ling's life was also very tranquil, and although countless people in Qingyun Academy admired her, none dared to take the initiative to visit her.

The huge gap in status and personal strength made many people face reality.

Regarding the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, they could only admire her from a distance, as she was not from their world and completely out of their league.

On the other hand, Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect had been spending these days together with Princess Xidie, the two being seen in close association.

Many people believed that these two would eventually end up together.

Thus, Chen Xuan could be said to be riding high recently, his face always brimming with smiles.

Clearly, even Chen Xuan himself thought that he was about to win the fair maiden's heart.

When the Yuexiao Sect learned of this news, his master, the sect leader of Yuexiao Sect, even lavished him with praises, which only increased Chen Xuan's inner joy.

As for Gu Chen, he had not seen anyone for the past seven days, remaining in a state of arduous cultivation.

In the path of physical cultivation, he had already undergone a bodily reconstruction once; it was certainly difficult to make further advancements in a short period of time.

Moreover, having just advanced to the God Transformation Realm not long ago, Gu Chen had spent these days immersing himself in researching his primordial spirit.

According to the holy maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, all cultivators who have condensed their primordial spirits are in the first realm, the Nascent Stage; as the name suggests, the newly born primordial spirit is relatively fragile.

"The Nascent Stage, where the primordial spirit can reach up to nine feet nine inches," chanted Gu Chen as he sat cross-legged, inspecting his inner self, where the young figure of his primordial spirit sat upright in the central seat of his forehead's ancestral aperture, holding the remnants of a jade piece in its hand.

Just as Gu Chen said, nine feet nine inches was the limit for the Nascent Stage.

And because of the exceptionally thick foundation of his spirit, although Gu Chen's primordial spirit had just condensed, it had already reached six inches, surpassing a great majority in the upper realms who had just broken through to the God Transformation Realm.

At this moment, Gu Chen felt more keenly aware that the more he learned, the more he realized his own insignificance.

But he believed that, in the vast boundless upper realms, there will come a day when he would climb to the very pinnacle.

On the eighth day, news spread through Qingyun Academy, causing a huge sensation.

"Did you guys hear? There's been a major discovery in the East Profound Region—they say that Xuanhuang Mother Qi has appeared in Yunzhou!"

"What, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, the mythical substance for refining the body?!"

"I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would encounter such an immense opportunity!"

After the news spread, the entire Qingyun Academy immediately went into a frenzy, with countless students being tempted.

Even the likes of Yan Qi and other preeminent heroes of the region were no exception.

In the presence of a holy substance, no one was the exception; it was truly an opportunity that comes once in a millennium.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen, who was meditating in his own palace, naturally learned of this news as well.

"Xuanhuang Mother Qi has appeared?" As he sat cross-legged, his eyes opened, revealing a hint of astonishment.

Even with his physical strength, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi would be greatly beneficial, not to mention its significance for other cultivators—it was indeed an enormous opportunity.

"The opportunity I've been waiting for so long has arrived," Gu Chen murmured to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Without any surprises, Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect would certainly be heading there too, as no one would give up on such an opportunity that lay before them.

Gu Chen had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to deal with this Chen Xuan, who had repeatedly become an obstruction.

However, within the academy, he was too conspicuous to go unnoticed.

But now, the opportunity had come.

Be it the Xuanhuang Mother Qi or the head of Chen Xuan from the Yuexiao Sect, Gu Chen wanted them both!
