Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1072 - 118: Turmoil in Qingyun Academy_2

After all, whether it is his physical body, his cultivation, or his spiritual soul, they are all fundamental to a cultivator, and Gu Chen had to advance all aspects simultaneously.

"As of now, Jiuousui and Heavenly Origin Liquid, besides their miraculous healing effects, aren't of much use to me anymore," Gu Chen noted, eyeing the remaining third of the Jiuousui in his hand.

Logically speaking, this nearly millennia-old sacred medicine should be useful for top experts in the Earth realm of the Unity Stage, and even for Great Powers of the Heavenly realm, but it could not support Gu Chen's consumption.

Primarily, the initial attempt to reach the limit of the Cave Heaven Realm and even break through it to advance to the God Transformation Realm had been enormously consuming.

However, this also showed, to a certain extent, how extraordinary Gu Chen's foundational prowess truly was.

In this period, besides Gu Chen, others he knew, such as Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, Zhen Yuan of the Wuji Doormen, Bai Jingyuan of Cloud Heaven Palace, and Su Nan of the Sumi Buddhist Sect, all experienced significant breakthroughs in their cultivation.

Princess Xidie didn't need mention; with millennia-old sacred medicine and assistance from Great Powers of the heavenly realm, her cultivation advanced incredibly fast, and with her talent, she was the first among the prodigious talents at Qingyun Academy to reach the mid-stage of the God Transformation Realm.

During the last visit to the Canglei Ancient Ruins, Zhen Yuan and two others went into seclusion and did not attend. This time, upon emerging from seclusion, Sanctum Son Zhen Yuan of Wuji Doormen advanced to the God Transformation Realm, while Bai Jingyuan and Su Nan both reached the full completion of the Cave Heaven Realm.

The few of them would often gather to discuss various issues encountered in their cultivation.

Of course, it was mainly Gu Chen who answered their questions, as he had mastered divine abilities and achieved the sixth rank; in these respects, his vision, insights, and experience were incomparable to other cultivators.

As for why Princess Xidie suddenly became so close to Gu Chen, no one at Qingyun Academy questioned it.

After all, when the stories of Gu Chen spread, everyone at Qingyun Academy had recognized him as the academy's premier prodigy, and having a good relationship with a woman of Princess Xidie's caliber was completely normal.

As for Taoxu Road's Sanctum Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, she entered the academy's ultimate beneficial ground for secluded cultivation after returning from the Canglei Ancient Ruins. Gu Chen guessed that she was likely trying to break into the Huanxu Realm.

As for Xuanhuang Mother Energy, the Sanctum Maiden naturally obtained nine strands as well.

"Brother Gu, I'm here to bother you again," Zhen Yuan said.

This day, unsurprisingly, Zhen Yuan, Bai Jingyuan, and Su Nan came to Gu Chen's residence again, and they all gathered together.

At this moment, Princess Xidie had arrived earlier than the three and was already sitting together with Gu Chen.

Zhen Yuan and the others glanced over but shifted their gaze away, feeling nothing unusual, as this had become normal over time.

Even sometimes, Princess Xidie's spirited eyes would unabashedly linger on Gu Chen for a long time without moving.

Gu Chen wasn't oblivious to the princess's feelings, and he had certainly sensed them, but he chose not to address them explicitly, as she was of distinguished status. He had only hinted subtly several times that he wasn't interested right now.

After all, Gu Chen couldn't even ensure his own safety, so how could he contemplate other matters?

However, much to Gu Chen's chagrin, Princess Xidie pretended to be clueless and acted as though she knew nothing, continuing to interact with him.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhen Yuan and the others, the relationship between Gu Chen and Princess Xidie seemed somewhat ambiguous.

Just as Gu Chen and the others were deep in discussion about cultivation, Qingyun Academy was welcoming a top prodigy into its ranks.

"Is that… Bai Yu from the Tian Yu Clan, the unrivaled prodigy across the eight regions?!" a student walking on the road suddenly spotted two men with pristine white wings on their backs, their holiness unlike ordinary mortals.

It was indeed Bai Yu from the Tian Yu Clan and his younger brother Bai Fei.

"It really is Bai Yu, and his younger brother Bai Fei. Why are they here at Qingyun Academy?" the sighting students were very puzzled.

"Big news, big news, the two prodigies of the Tian Yu Clan have passed the academy's test. Although they missed the timing, they were still exceptionally admitted!" a student exclaimed excitedly.

However, when he saw the brothers Bai Yu and Bai Fei not far away, his face suddenly stiffened, and he stood there, dumbfounded.

"Admitted to the academy on an exceptional basis?!" When they heard this, everyone was shocked.

Qingyun Academy only opened once every ten thousand years, and each opening session was fixed. Once it passed, joining became difficult.

Only those who underwent challenges even tougher than the normal tests had the chance to be exceptionally admitted.

This was exactly the case for the brothers Bai Yu.

"It's no wonder they are the prodigies of the Tian Yu Clan. They indeed are incomparable to others," the crowd exclaimed.

Bai Yu had jet-black hair and pupils, with pristine white wings on his back, making him look like a holy messenger from the heavens. His face was handsome, his body tall and slender, and he walked into Qingyun Academy with his brother, Bai Fei, who had an arrogant expression on his face.

Along the way, many people saw and marveled at them, making Bai Fei very proud and occasionally casting disdainful glances at the other members of Qingyun Academy.

"If it weren't for you, brother, I would never come here," Bai Fei proudly said, prepared to follow in Bai Yu's footsteps and make a great name for himself in other realms.

Bai Yu smiled slightly. The reason he came to Qingyun Academy was naturally because of Chu Yue Ling, the saintess of Taoxu Road.

Of course, Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was also worth his efforts.

Indeed, both of these women were extraordinary. Whichever one could be won over would greatly satisfy one's vanity.

However, Bai Yu's heart yearned more for Chu Yue Ling, the saintess of Taoxu Road. If not possible, then he would settle for the next best thing.

This was also the most important reason for his coming to Qingyun Academy.

As for another reason, it was that he had learned about Qingyun Academy's purpose.

"Bai Yu, it's said that Qingyun Academy is searching for a successor. Inside, there are treasures left behind from a past great epoch in the Azure Cloud Sky. If you could be chosen, it would definitely be of infinite benefit,"

this was what Bai Yu's father, the chief of the Tian Yu Clan, told him. Thus, for these two reasons, he appeared here.

The people of Qingyun Academy were clearly very surprised to see Bai Yu, and the news quickly spread.

However, no one knew that this was just the beginning.

In addition to the Tian Yu Clan's Bai Yu, several other famous beings from different realms who had the potential to be listed on the Dao Gold List passed the tests and subsequently joined Qingyun Academy in the following few days.

Suddenly, the Qingyun Academy, which had been quiet for a while, started to buzz again.

"How can this be? Why would so many great talents suddenly join the academy?" the original students of Qingyun Academy were all perplexed, or perhaps it could be said they were extremely baffled.

"What exactly is the cause?" Everyone was eager to find out.

The arrival of several prodigies at Qingyun Academy coincidentally attracted much attention.

At the same time, many were hopeful about what kind of stir these exceptional beings, eligible for the Dao Gold List, could create within the academy.

Everyone knew that Qingyun Academy, or rather the East Profound Region, was bound to experience turmoil again.

"It's just unknown what kind of story will happen now that Gu Bai, currently the number one in the academy, has met these individuals," everyone thought.

After all, they were quite aware of the feud between Bai Yu of the Tian Yu Clan and Gu Chen.
