At that moment, after listening to Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu's introduction, Gu Chen still hesitated.

After all, that was the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

What is an ancestral land? It is the foundation of a clan, not to mention one as powerful as the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

It very likely contains secrets closely connected to the rise of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, holding the key to its ascension, surely filled with numerous strange treasures and even top-tier heritage.

But all this was under the possession of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, and he, an outsider not from any prominent power, how could his request to go there be agreed upon?

Of course, Gu Chen's hesitation was not for himself, but for Princess Xidie.

After all, although the other party didn't mention it, Gu Chen could guess that such an opportunity must be extremely precious. How could he, an outsider, deserve to obtain one of these spots?

Placing himself in their shoes, if Gu Chen were the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, he would definitely not agree.

Princess Xidie appeared hesitant and after a moment, she said, "This opening of the ancestral land is different from before. Apart from our Holy Brilliance Dynasty, a portion of the spots will also be allotted to other prodigies and monsters, allowing them to enter as well, so you need not worry."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling intrigued, and asked directly, "Why would outsiders be allowed in?"

Yun Zishu glanced at Gu Chen and Princess Xidie, wisely choosing to remain silent, not clarifying further.

Princess Xidie clearly did not want Gu Chen to know about the matter of selecting a suitor because she was concerned that knowing this would make him unwilling to go.

It's not that she wanted to deceive Gu Chen, but rather, the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty truly contained astonishing opportunities, and entering would certainly bring him a significant advancement.

Otherwise, with his current realm, participating in the strife of the Ten Thousand Tribes of the upper three thousand six hundred regions, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

It was for this reason that Princess Xidie intended to take Gu Chen with her.

"Oh, stop worrying about so much, I don't even know what my father thinks, and you don't need to know either. What you need to grasp is just how extraordinary my Holy Brilliance Dynasty's ancestral land is, and how important it is for you, that's enough!" Princess Xidie did not wish for Gu Chen to investigate further, fearing he would discover the gist.

"The Holy Brilliance Dynasty's ancestral land..." Gu Chen hesitated, and to be honest, he was indeed tempted.

Because, had Princess Xidie not appeared, he was ready to change his appearance and go out to hunt various ferocious beasts and other races to gain points.

But now, with such an opportunity before him, it was clearly much better than Gu Chen's original plan.

Even, allowing Gu Chen's physique to undergo a third remolding, reaching the third transformation, would definitely not be a problem; how could it not tempt him?

"What are you still hesitating for, not seizing such a good opportunity? Do you not know the principle of 'rejecting what heaven grants you brings disaster'?" Princess Xidie chided.

Gu Chen glanced at her and said, "I am worried that my participation might bring trouble to you and Brother Yun."

"Brother Gu, you worry too much. This issue has nothing to do with me. I don't really have a say anyway," Yun Zishu interjected, promptly waving his hand and saying this.

"Don't worry, this isn't a big problem. I'll communicate with my father," Princess Xidie said.

"Alright." After thinking it over, Gu Chen did not continue to hesitate, as it would appear too fastidious, and thus he accepted and thanked Princess Xidie.

Seeing Gu Chen agree, Princess Xidie immediately struck while the iron was hot, quickly saying, "The time for the opening of the ancestral land is nearing. If it's convenient for you, why don't we set off today?"

"No problem." Gu Chen nodded, indicating that the travel arrangements could be entirely managed by the two of them.

Immediately, Gu Chen also informed the Great Power, Cui Ji, about his plans to visit the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

After all, his status had changed; going out indefinitely, it was natural to give notice.

Of course, Cui Ji would not disagree, and very readily agreed.

Soon, Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu found Gu Chen again, the two of them already having prepared everything, just waiting for him to come out.

"Set off, to the Holy Brilliance Dynasty!"

Subsequently, the trio silently set off, besides the upper echelon, not disturbing anyone at the academy.

The day after Gu Chen left, Chu Liufeng of the Chu Family once again arrived at his residence.

When Chu Liufeng discovered Gu Chen was not there, he was somewhat surprised.

Then, he found the Town Yuan trio and inquired about Gu Chen's whereabouts, to which they also expressed they did not know.

"My Chu family has made a discovery abroad and I thought to explore this opportunity together with Brother Gu, but now, we can only wait for Brother Gu to return before discussing it further," Chu Liufeng sighed.

The Town Yuan trio glanced at each other, also not saying much more.

...

On the other hand, Gu Chen was currently following Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu, the trio having already left the territory of the East Profound Region.

The Spirit Realm, lying eight regions apart from the East Profound Region, would require at least half a month to reach the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

And that's even with the constant use of teleportation arrays.

If relying on cultivators flying by themselves, it would take a hundred years to reach.

With every journey, Gu Chen realized just how vast the upper realms really were.

Each region was a large world, and the three thousand six hundred regions were like three thousand six hundred worlds; truly expansive, almost boundless.

And those who could be renowned across all three thousand six hundred regions of the upper realm, how extraordinary they must be to be remembered by so many beings, across the endless, distant regions?
