Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1107 - 140 Qingyun Academy Heir_2

```

If they wished, they could accomplish it in the blink of an eye.

Indeed, Yun Zishu had once witnessed with his own eyes a being who had made a name for himself across more than twenty realms and was listed on the Dao Gold List, being defeated by a prodigy known throughout a hundred realms with just a flick of their finger.

Such a sight deeply imprinted itself in the depths of his soul, causing Yun Zishu to be unable to forget it for a long time.

Still, Princess Xidie was full of confidence in Gu Chen, saying, "Perhaps, Gu Bai could make it through this time and even achieve invincibility across a hundred realms."

"Invincibility across a hundred realms?" Yun Zishu's eyes widened in astonishment. If it weren't for the fact that it was Princess Xidie who had spoken these words, he would have rebuked her outright.

It was just too audacious a claim.

The fame of being known across a hundred realms was one thing, but to claim invincibility across a hundred realms was quite another, and frankly, preposterous.

After all, there were a total of three thousand six hundred realms in the higher world.

Being unbeatable across eight realms, ten realms, might be more feasible, but when one has ventured across dozens of realms, or even over a hundred, to be known and ranked highly in these realms is already an extremely amazing accomplishment.

To aspire to be invincible across a hundred realms?

I'm sorry, that's essentially impossible, nearly akin to a wild fantasy.

Because if one ever achieved invincibility across a hundred realms, their fame would truly spread throughout all the three thousand six hundred realms of the upper world, and they might even have the chance to be compared with the strongest prodigies of the top ten tribes.

Of course, it was only a possibility.

Just how extraordinary the strongest prodigies of the top ten tribes were, Yun Zishu didn't even know how to describe, or perhaps there were no words that could.

Only those who were descendants of immortal-level Dao lineages could be considered comparable.

But Princess Xidie seemed not to care, and the two did not continue their conversation. She already knew all she needed to know, and what was required now was to wait quietly for the appearance of Gu Chen.

Their conversation had been conducted through transmitted messages, so others were not privy to it.

And Princess Xidie had made up her mind that, no matter what, she would secure a spot for Gu Chen to enter the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty; otherwise, though powerful, his cultivation realm was a significant weakness compared to those top prodigies of the upper world.

To stand toe-to-toe with those figures, Gu Chen's realm needed to be elevated.

Gu Chen was of course very clear on this point as well.

Soon, his figure appeared, and seeing that Gu Chen looked like he had succeeded, Princess Xidie couldn't help but beam with joy.

"It's over."

Seeing this, Yan Qi, Ao Guang, Wang Yuan, and the others also let out soft sighs, murmuring among themselves.

The greatest opportunity in the land of Saintly Melody was now in the hands of Gu Chen, so naturally, this competition had come to an end.

At the same time, it was no surprise that the successor of Qingyun Academy would also naturally be Gu Chen.

The onlookers, seeing Gu Chen exit with empty hands, appeared somewhat disappointed.

Clearly, they had wanted to see with their own eyes just how extraordinary the so-called innate divine object was.

But they were let down, which was normal after all, who would carry an innate divine object out by hand?

Although the struggle was over, they did not immediately leave because before they entered, a Great Power of the Qingyun Academy had told them that the land of Saintly Melody would remain open for a month's time.

This was a rare treasure trove, even acknowledged by Gu Chen as beneficial and not trifling, and it offered substantial progress for cultivation.

```

Thus, in the following time, a group of Qingyun Academy students began their cultivation here.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, who had been in seclusion, also successfully exited her retreat on the eighth day after Gu Chen acquired the innate divine object, the Seven-Colored Lotus dais.

"Headmaster."

At this moment, in the ancient hall where the Qingyun Academy's headmaster was in retreat, the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, appeared.

If an outsider were to witness this scene, they would be incredibly shocked, because the headmaster's place of retreat was an area where not even the Great Powers and titans of the academy could easily enter, or rather, they had almost never been there.

The Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, no matter how extraordinary, was ultimately a junior, yet she was given such treatment.

This showed just how much the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, this presence who ranked among the fore in the ultimate powers, valued the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling.

Even, quite frankly, in his eyes, even the so-called strongest prodigies among the top ten races of the Ten Thousand Tribes, when compared to this woman, were inferior.

"Did you succeed?" the headmaster of Qingyun Academy sat cross-legged there, while the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, slowly stepped behind him.

"I must also thank the headmaster for your guidance," said the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling.

Although she had rejected the headmaster, he was still extremely tolerant towards her, and his help was substantial, allowing her to freely peruse even the secret tomes of Qingyun Academy that belonged to Azure Cloud Sky.

For this reason, Chu Yue Ling gained a great deal.

"About the choice of successor, headmaster, surely you have reached a decision by now?" the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, said softly.

After her breakthrough, the feeling she gave off was increasingly cold and vast, that sense of detachment from the mundane world also intensifying, as if she would completely disappear in the next second.

"If you do not agree, I can only settle for the next best, and seek someone else," said the headmaster of Qingyun Academy.

Chu Yue Ling said softly, "Yueling is truly not the most suitable candidate; now, the person headmaster has recognized might not necessarily be the most outstanding."

Clearly, she already knew the outcome of the Holy Melody land and understood exactly who had won the final victory.

All of this was just as she had anticipated, with no discrepancy whatsoever.

The headmaster of Qingyun Academy sat there, like an eternal primordial statue existing from time immemorial, his expression calm as he spoke, "No matter how outstanding, can they surpass you?"

"How does the headmaster know Gu Bai is not as good as me?" Chu Yue Ling questioned.

The headmaster of Qingyun Academy was left speechless; toward Chu Yue Ling, he did not put on any airs of being a supreme power, and if others were to see their mode of communication, they would certainly be scared to death.

The supreme powers, sitting at the zenith of the upper realm, are so elusive that many cultivators cannot meet them in their lifetimes. Even the most exceptional talents under the command of colossal forces, renowned in one or even numerous domains, find it hard to get an audience with them.

But now, not only could the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, communicate with a supreme power, her tone was also rather casual—an envious privilege that countless people would desire.

"Do you rate Gu Bai that highly?" asked the headmaster of Qingyun Academy.

"He truly is quite extraordinary," replied the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, without a hint of hesitation.

"Since you rate him so highly, then what do you think, how does Gu Bai compare to the strongest prodigies among the previous ten major races— who is stronger, and who is weaker?"

Chu Yue Ling, with her hair cascading like a waterfall and a body like jade, heard this and did not answer this time, saying instead, "Soon, the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty will open, and then, headmaster, you will see Gu Bai's potential."

"Entering the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty is not so easy; what level do you think he can achieve this time?" the headmaster of Qingyun Academy asked again.

This time, Chu Yue Ling did not hesitate at all and directly gave her answer. She said only four words, but those four words weighed more than ten thousand pounds.

"Unmatched across hundreds of domains!"
