At that time, if Bai Yu had retained even a sliver of rationality, he could hardly resist the urge to tear Gu Chen apart.

Actually, his original intention was to issue a life-and-death challenge to Gu Chen after coming out of seclusion, but unexpectedly, the Mystical Realm of Saintly Melody had opened, creating unforeseen complications.

"Good, with the opening of the Mystical Realm of Saintly Melody, I will crush you underfoot the moment you step in, unable to grasp the immense opportunities before your eyes, nothing could be more torturous," Bai Yu thought, his gaze growing colder.

Indeed, he had made up his mind to defeat Gu Chen in front of everyone the moment they entered the Mystical Realm of Saintly Melody, stepping on him and stripping him of the chance to explore the realm and seize all sorts of fortunes.

"If your endurance isn't enough, you might just go mad on the spot?" Bai Yu sneered coldly.

To be humiliated under public scrutiny and lose various fortunes and opportunities, putting himself in their shoes, he knew he couldn't bear it.

"I am actually looking forward to the trials of the Mystical Realm of Saintly Melody starting as soon as possible," Bai Yu murmured softly.

Apart from Bai Yu, Tang Yu from Misty Palace, Su Yiqing from Hao Tian Sect, Qu Ping from Wonderful Law Hall, and Shi Yao from the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan, having heard the news, were all eager and preparing for the trials of the Mystical Realm of Saintly Melody.

Without a second thought, they had all accepted Bai Yu's proposal for an alliance.

After all, Yun Zishu was indeed their number one enemy, and calling him the current top prodigy of Qingyun Academy was no exaggeration.

One on one, they were aware that no one in Qingyun Academy was a match for Yun Zishu, this wonder on the Dao Gold List.

Only by joining forces, the five of them might have a chance to emerge victorious.

Otherwise, if nothing unexpected happened, the victor of the trials of the Mystical Realm of Saintly Melody would only be Yun Zishu.

And this was something Bai Yu and the others couldn't tolerate.

This news spread like wildfire in Qingyun Academy, and naturally, Gu Chen was also informed.

Even Zhen Yuan and the others sought him out at the first opportunity, insisting that he must participate.

Princess Xidie herself had personally visited, appearing before him.

"Brother Zishu's strength is incredibly formidable, his cultivation is but a short distance away from the Huanxu Realm. During his battle with Jin Yang of the Red Gold Divine Eagle Clan, he hardly exerted his full strength, at most he only used half his power. Without the ability to use his divine abilities, if you confront him, you must not be careless," Princess Xidie warned Gu Chen with a grave expression, urging him to be extremely careful.

She believed that if Gu Chen gave it his all, nobody in Qingyun Academy could withstand him, but the divine abilities in God Transformation Realm are alarmingly powerful, currently hidden; without such a powerful trump card, in Princess Xidie's view, if Gu Chen faced Yun Zishu, it should be an even match.

After all, the gap in their cultivation realms was evident, with Yun Zishu being at the peak of God Transformation Realm, not far from the Huanxu Realm.

As for Gu Chen, he had only recently entered the God Transformation Realm, so Princess Xidie naturally worried about him.

"This time, you must succeed. The Seven-Colored Lotus Platform is no ordinary item; it will be of great use to you. Moreover, you are all alone in the upper world. If you become the successor of Qingyun Academy, the supremely powerful Dean will henceforth be your protector, and you will no longer need to be as cautious and wary as you are now," she said.

Listening to Princess Xidie's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, not expecting the princess to care so much about him, considering every aspect on his behalf.

Princess Xidie had a graceful figure, standing tall and slim, skin like lustrous jade, and neck like a graceful snake. Her features were vividly exquisite. Seeing Gu Chen's gaze upon her, she couldn't help but huff lightly and said, "What are you looking at? Although Brother Zishu and I grew up together, in my heart, I only consider him as a brother. Moreover, the Yun family has a vast empire, unlike you, a pitiable lone individual."

Gu Chen heard the words and immediately shook his head with a wry smile, but still replied, "Thank you, Princess, for informing me."

Princess Xidie's visit this time had informed him of considerable news concerning the Saint's Rhythm of Qingyun Academy.

Just as the two of them wished to continue their conversation, a figure emerged, none other than Chu Liufeng from the Chu Family.

At this moment, his expression was somewhat anxious, and upon seeing Gu Chen, he quickly said, "Brother Gu, something terrible has happened. You must be extremely careful in this trial at the Saint's Rhythm!"

Without waiting for Gu Chen and Princess Xidie to reply, Chu Liufeng continued, "Because of his brother Bai Fei, Bai Yu from the Tian Yu Clan harbors deep resentment towards you. He has resolved to deal with you first upon entering the Saint's Rhythm, ensuring that you have no chance at all the fortunes there!"

"Such vicious intent from Bai Yu!" remarked Princess Xidie, her elegant eyebrows furrowing immediately, and a hint of anger appearing on her delicate oval face, indignant on Gu Chen's behalf.

Chu Liufeng glanced at her and said, "That's not all. Bai Yu has also allied with Tang Yu, Su Yiqing, and a few other remarkable individuals to gang up against Yun Zishu, Brother Yun. Please, Princess, inform him as soon as possible."

"Even if they join forces, they won't be a match for Brother Zishu," declared Princess Xidie, confident in Yun Zishu's strength.

Seeing her reaction, Chu Liufeng could only shake his head helplessly, having already delivered his message.

"Thank you for the information, Brother Chu," Gu Chen said, clasping his hands in gratitude, his demeanor remaining calm.

Chu Liufeng shook his head, "It's nothing, thanks to the help you and Brother Yun have given me during this time, my own cultivation has greatly improved. Please don't worry about such trivial matters, Brother Gu."

With that, he spoke, "Now that I have delivered the message, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Not long after, with the opening of the Saint's Rhythm approaching, Chu Liufeng would naturally need to prepare to seize the opportunities that awaited him.

"His information is always so accurate," Princess Xidie said in a soft voice, watching Chu Liufeng's departing figure sway gracefully.

Gu Chen and Princess Xidie were side by side, his eyes deep and thoughtful as he watched Chu Liufeng leave, silent and contemplative.

A month quickly passed, and during this time, all the students of Qingyun Academy were eagerly polishing their skills, preparing for the opening of the Saint's Rhythm.

For them, it could potentially be the greatest fortune in the Higher Realms, an important chance to improve themselves before the start of the great battle between the Ten Thousand Tribes across the three thousand six hundred domains. They couldn't be anything but prudent.

After all, such fortune and opportunities were not always available, especially not in a transcendent place like the Saint's Rhythm.

Whether it was for someone of Bai Yu's caliber or for the other individuals of Qingyun Academy, the Saint's Rhythm represented a chance to drastically change their destinies, and they certainly intended to seize it.

The day arrived, with thousands of Qingyun Academy's students led by the Great Powers, ready to enter this legendary location.

At the forefront of the crowd, Bai Yu of the Tian Yu Clan cast a cold glance towards Gu Chen and sent him a message, "Once we enter, our quarrel must come to an end. I will make you kneel and repent!"

Gu Chen maintained his composure, paying him no heed.

Soon, with the Great Powers casting their spells, dazzling light sparkled, and the mysterious Saint's Rhythm, which had been the subject of so many rumors, finally revealed its true visage to Gu Chen and the others.
