Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1110 - 1110: 142

Gray Domain, capital of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Eastern Palace of the Crown Prince.

After a period of isolated cultivation, Gu Yan had also made significant breakthroughs.

After all, with the presence of a demonic entity within him, one could say that his cultivation faced no bottlenecks; he just needed to continuously devour blood food.

The more powerful beings Gu Yan devoured, the greater benefits he reaped.

However, upon emerging from seclusion, Gu Yan heard some news that soured his mood immensely.

That news was that Gu Chen had been listed on the Dao Gold List.

"Damn bastard, he also deserves to be on the Dao Gold List?!" Gu Yan, upon hearing the news, flew into a rage immediately.

"You bunch of trash, why haven't you killed him yet!" His fists clenched, his face contorted, and a profoundly evil and chilling murderous aura spread from him.

As he continuously leveraged the demonic entity's power to enhance his own, Gu Yan's temperament became more and more aligned with it, such that he had to use a secret treasure to conceal his identity when outside.

"So much time has passed, yet the task I gave you has made no progress at all. What use are you incompetent fools?!"

With a ferocious glare and a sudden roar, Gu Yan opened his mouth, transforming into a pitch-black vortex, devouring the two figures kneeling in the great hall— they didn't even have time to scream.

"Your Highness... please, calm your anger!"

The remaining two were so terrified that they turned pale and started trembling as they knelt there, continuously kowtowing to Gu Yan.

As time passed and as Gu Yan tasted the sweetness of the demonic power, he became increasingly brutal, prone to killing at the slightest disagreement.

Luckily, this was the capital of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty where any incident could be concealed.

Even so, every time these followers saw Gu Yan, they were on tenterhooks, fearing that a single misplaced word could cost them their lives.

"I'm asking you, why is Gu Chen not dead yet!" Gu Yan snarled, his form shrouded in thick black mist, with a demonic shadow forming behind him, emitting spine-chilling cold laughter.

This was the power of the demonic entity within him, such a strange scene nearly causing the two subordinates to faint from fear.

Struggling to suppress their terror, they said with trembling voices, "Re...reporting to Your Highness, Gu Chen has not left Qingyun Academy recently, and with that supremely strong academy head present, we simply cannot make a move!

"What about the insider at Qingyun Academy, the insider? What are you all good for if you can't figure out a way to lure him out?!" Gu Yan's eyes shone with a cold glint, his face fierce and terrifying.

Behind him, the evil phantom's entire body was pitch-black, but at this moment, a pair of pupils emerged, coldly staring at the two figures kneeling below.

"The insider at Qingyun Academy, he... he has also been looking for an opportunity, but recent events have been frequent, and it's indeed difficult to lure Gu Chen out."

With the presence of the academy head, it was naturally impossible for people from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Sacred Sect to approach Qingyun Academy rashly.

"I don't care, no matter what methods you use, you must kill him for me and bring his corpse back before me!" Gu Yan's voice was low like a demon's roar.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, we will obey!" The two subordinates said hastily.

"I'm giving you one last chance, if you still fail, you should know what will happen, I will flay and eat you alive." Gu Yan's face was cold as a ghost, his eyes fiercely staring down his two closest subordinates, with flashes of blood in his eyes.

"We... we obey!"

The two subordinates shuddered, cold sweat covering their bodies, nearly fainting from fear, they nodded hastily, worried that displeasing Gu Yan would mean instant death.

"Gu Chen... everything you have is mine, the Nine Cauldrons are also mine. A mere mud-legged bumpkin from the lower realms dares to contend with me, this time, I will leave you with no place to be buried!" Gu Yan clenched his fists, let out a long howl toward the heavens, and thousands of black qi burst forth from his body.

Having been defeated by Gu Chen, which Gu Yan saw as the disgrace of his life, he had to devour him alive to quell the rage in his heart.

…

East Profound Region, Qingyun Academy.

After explaining matters such as the union of his dual identities to Gu Chen, Chu Yue Ling, the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, then left.

Without any surprises, she would leave today and return to Taoxu Road.

After this period of closed cultivation, her skills had greatly improved. With her talent, plus the help of Taoxu Road, it would be no problem for her to enter the Huanxu Realm before the Three Thousand Six Hundred Domains' grand battle among the Ten Thousand Tribes.

"Perhaps, I should also start preparing for the union of the dual bodies in advance." After Chu Yue Ling had left, Gu Chen murmured to himself.

Currently, his true self was still located in the Xuan Yi Sect's Medicine Valley in Meteor State, Gray Domain, diligently working as a medicine boy. Since joining the Xuan Yi Sect, he had not left the mountain even once.

In the meantime, Ling Fei had sought out Gu Chen several times, but because there was no evidence, the matters ended there.

And in the Medicine Valley, his true self indeed learned a lot. In the area of pill medicine, Gu Chen had made significant progress.

It must be said, it was a waste of Lu Qingfeng's talent to remain as the elder of Xuan Yi Sect's Medicine Valley.

"Once I achieve the great completion of the Huanxu Realm, it will be time to head to the Gray Domain," Gu Chen decided.

He had to merge with his other identity when breaking through to the Huanxu Realm; otherwise, with an incomplete foundation, it would affect his entire life. Chu Yue Ling had specifically come to tell him this, so he could not treat it lightly.
