Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1068 - 116: Sixth-Grade Divine Powers, The Academy Trembles_2

Daring to venture alone into the forbidden area for living beings alone sufficiently illustrates the Qingyun Academy's dean's character and his immensely strong power.

After all, within the entire East Profound Region, there were not only Qingyun Academy's dean as a supreme being, but he was the only one who took such action.

And were it not for the appearance of Qingyun Academy's dean, the subsequent Kui Niu Clan, Yuexiao Sect, Cangjian Villa, and the Chu Family's four supreme beings would definitely not have intervened.

At the very least, the turmoil stirred up this time would not have come to an end so quickly and would have persisted for a while longer.

By then, countless innocent beings within this realm would have met with tragic deaths.

It was precisely because he saw this point that Qingyun Academy's dean, without any hesitation, took action, and his powerful strength almost directly established the victory.

After all, not every supreme being is willing to stand up for the weaker beings as he did.

Be aware that many supreme beings may not even grant an audience to their most outstanding and monstrous disciples throughout their lives, let alone take action for those unknown beings they have never met.

"The dean of Qingyun Academy is indeed an extraordinary person," the saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, said, respect emerging in her bright eyes.

"Indeed," Gu Chen and Princess Xidie both nodded upon hearing this.

Afterward, the three of them set out, ready to rendezvous with the Great Powers of Qingyun Academy and everyone else, and then head back together.

Of course, the three of them together were indeed conspicuous, for whether it was the saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, or the princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, Xidie, both women were exceptionally outstanding. Ordinary people would consider it a blessing to meet one in thousands of lifetimes, but at this moment, Gu Chen had the company of both.

To prevent drawing too much attention, Gu Chen suggested separating and meeting up with the people of Qingyun Academy from two different directions.

After considering Gu Chen's situation, the two women directly agreed.

Thus, Gu Chen let the two women go ahead while he set off later, meeting up with all the survivors of Qingyun Academy in this manner.

This time, Qingyun Academy could be said to have suffered greatly, with some students dying in the heavenly tribulations at Canglei Ancient Ruins, but even more were devoured by evil demons.

Several of Qingyun Academy's Great Powers also wore somewhat grave expressions, but fortunately, many students had still survived.

Especially when they saw the saintess Chu Yue Ling of Taoxu Road and Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty appear safe and sound together, the heavy hearts of those present were immediately alleviated.

The Great Powers of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty were even more relieved, hastily stepping forward to check whether Princess Xidie had suffered any injuries.

If there had been any negligence in their protection, even as a Great Power, the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty would have definitely been furious with him.

"Well done."

It was then, when Gu Chen appeared, that the Great Powers from Qingyun Academy nodded at him as well, evaluating him with appreciative gazes.

Clearly, many students who had managed to escape the ordeal had stated the truth: it was Gu Chen who had saved them, which was why the Great Powers were showing him such esteem.

Yan Qi, Luo Jiang, Wang Yuan, and a group of other monstrous disciples from Qingyun Academy saved by Gu Chen, had complex expressions upon seeing Gu Chen, wanting to express their thanks but finding it difficult to speak under the scrutiny of so many eyes.

"Thank you."

In the end, the first to speak was unexpectedly Yan Qi from the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, taking Gu Chen by surprise.

Although this experience cost Yan Qi an arm, it also allowed him to grow significantly.

Seeing Yan Qi speak, Luo Jiang, Wang Yuan, and the other monstrous figures also expressed their gratitude to Gu Chen one after another.

A life-saving grace is greater than heaven; even if they were proud, they were not the kind of people who would not recognize kindness.

Gu Chen saw their reaction and nodded slightly, signaling that it was all right.

The Great Powers of Qingyun Academy, upon seeing this, also nodded with smiles. Although there had been some losses, after experiencing this event, they could see that the students, having gone through a true life and death situation, had all grown significantly.

Presently, the group set out on their journey back, led by several Great Powers, Gu Chen and the others returned to Qingyun Academy safely.

Upon returning to his own residence in the academy, Gu Chen immediately called up the panel.

Name: Gu Chen

Cultivation Techniques: Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra (6th Layer), Immortal Sacred Body (6th Layer), Yuan Shen Illustrations (5th Layer), Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret (5th Layer), Reincarnation Seal Method (5th Layer), Soaring Over Void (5th Layer)

Divine Powers: Nine Dragons Annihilation (7th Rank), Escape to the Heavens (7th Rank), Heaven's Eye (6th Rank), Directional Annihilation (7th Rank), Nine Heavens Thunder Movement (6th Rank)

Cultivation: Four thousand one hundred years

Realm: Early stage of God Transformation Realm

Merit Points: 0

Divine Power value: 0

On the panel, in the column of divine powers, two had reached the 6th rank—Heaven's Eye and Nine Heavens Thunder Movement.

The reason for improving Heaven's Eye was naturally because of its extraordinary abilities—it could explore the heavens and probe the earth. It had been a great help to Gu Chen, so as soon as he acquired enough Divine Power value, he immediately raised this ability to the 6th rank.

As for the second one, Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, now that it had been revealed, it was bound to be the most frequently used by Gu Chen. Moreover, its power was indeed extraordinary, so he raised it to the 6th rank, on par with the Heaven's Eye.

Upgrading both Heaven's Eye and Nine Heavens Thunder Movement to the 6th rank had cost a total of four thousand Merit Points, an expenditure so high that it even left Gu Chen astounded.

"Exposing two divine powers is enough; as for more, it is not appropriate to reveal them," Gu Chen thought to himself.

Even having reached the God Transformation Realm and mastered five divine powers, he was still too sensational and, one might say, defying the heavens.

Therefore, Gu Chen decided to continue hiding the other three divine powers, not letting others know of them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after returning to the academy, the Great Powers who had gone to the Canglei Ancient Ruins also reported the situation to the academy's top figures.

"The Tian Yu Clan has gotten involved as well? And that Bai Yu, known as invincible across the eight domains—it seems this time, the struggle for the Xuanhuang Qi has unexpectedly benefited the Tian Yu Clan," said one of the academy's top figures. He was very aware of Bai Yu's strength and knew that no one within the academy could handle someone of that caliber.

"No, our academy has the upper hand," interjected the Great Power surnamed Cui, who had escorted Gu Chen and the others to the Canglei Ancient Ruins, as he clarified the details of the situation.

"What did you say? This youngster named Gu Bai, at the Canglei Ancient Ruins, easily defeated the combined forces of Yan Qi and others, and he even repelled Bai Yu of the Tian Yu Clan, who is called invincible across the eight domains?" The academy's top figure was startled, expressing a sense of surprise.

"Indeed," the Great Power surnamed Cui nodded. He too had been deeply shocked when he first heard this news from the other students.

Who could have imagined, an unknown individual could defeat the renowned and invincible Bai Yu of the Tian Yu Clan, ranked among the strongest prodigies of the hundred powerful races?

Not only that, but when the Qingyun Academy students who had been to the Canglei Ancient Ruins returned, upon being asked about their experiences by those who hadn't gone, they too spoke of the incident.

The reason was simply that the event had left such a profound impression on them, that everyone who had witnessed it found it long unforgettable.

"Gu Bai easily suppressed the many geniuses from our academy, such as Yan Qi, even repelling figures qualified to be on the Dao Gold List?"

This news, once out, caused a massive upheaval in Qingyun Academy, from its top figures to ordinary students alike.
