NOVEL NEXT Chapter 331 Unleashing the Inheritance Land_1
Gu Chen emerged from seclusion, his body bathed in a halo of rosy light, exuding overwhelming vigor. His lustrous hair flowed down to his waist, fluttering in the wind as if he were a sovereign fit to stabilize the Eight Desolations!
His eyes were incredibly bright, sparkling with dazzling brilliance that outshone the stars. Having unblocked ninety orifices, it's safe to say that Gu Chen was extraordinary, powerful to a certain extreme.
Indistinctly, the ninety orifices he had cleared were faintly pulsating, drawing in various types of spiritual energy from the realm of spirits.
Gu Chen stepped forward, using the Earthly Martial Skill, LingXu Nine Steps, to begin shuttling across this boundless land. He was on a quest to locate the inheritance tokens.
The opportunity that even the peak forces of the ancient Nine Provinces era coveted — as one can imagine, it must be incredibly important!
As of now, the news was pretty much known to everyone in the realm of spirits.
Of course, the exact details were still only truly understood by the martial artists from the six great holy lands.
But this didn't deter the enthusiastic search from other sects and factions.
Having reached a stage in movement techniques where he moved without a trace, like a goose in flight or like stepping on snow without leaving footprints, Gu Chen's speed was indeed very fast. In less than half an hour, he came across a group of martial artists teaming up in search of fortunes.
At the moment, they were jointly combating in the territory of a strange beast, wishing to collect its essence blood to temper their bodies.
"Lord Wu'an!"
On seeing Gu Chen's arrival, the group immediately became wary, assuming he was there to compete with them for the beast.
It had been a day and a night since Gu Chen's battle with Yuwen Wind, forcing him to retreat. Although many martial artists witnessed the battle, the specifics had not spread.
After all, such an event was a disgrace for Yuwen Wind of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, known to traverse the world. Being one of the most outstanding heirs of a holy land, being forced to retreat by a martial artist from the Nine Provinces three years his junior, if word got out, it wouldn't just tarnish his reputation, but the sect's as well.
In order to avoid Yuwen Wind's retaliation, the group of onlookers from yesterday didn't dare to spread the news, only they themselves were aware of Gu Chen's terrifying strength as of today. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
For most people in the realm of spirits, their impression of Gu Chen was still of the time when he had slain Xu Qing of the Arsenal and Yuan Zixun of the Mysterious Pill Workshop.
"What business do you have?" There were in total eight martial grandmasters gathered here, all at the Hundred Orifices Stage, who now watched Gu Chen with caution.
Seeing the group's reaction, Gu Chen didn't immediately ask his question. Instead, he initiated a "friendly exchange" with them, and only after showing his "good intentions" did Gu Chen finally inquire about the inheritance tokens.
One of the martial grandmasters, sporting a pair of dark circles under his eyes, seemed somewhat aggrieved. They thought Gu Chen was up to something else; who would have thought he just wanted information that was common knowledge? Was there a need to resort to violence?
Despite that, having witnessed Gu Chen's power, he didn't dare to neglect his inquiry and promptly recounted everything he knew without omitting a single detail.
"To Lord Wu'an, there are currently nine inheritance tokens that have appeared in the realm of spirits. Seven of them have been seized by the six great holy lands and Lin Bai. The remaining two, one is in the hands of Bu Nantian from Qinglong Valley, and the other is with Lu Xing from the Beidou Sect."
Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded slightly. The six great holy lands and Lin Bai didn't need further mention, they were the highest echelon among the martial artists entering the realm of spirits, and their acquisition of the tokens was justified.
The fact that Lu Xing from the Beidou Sect and Bu Nantian from Qinglong Valley also each obtained a token could attest that among all the martial prodigies in East Province, their strengths were indeed the most extraordinary.
Since Gu Chen's battle with Yuwen Wind yesterday, the inheritance tokens had successively appeared, falling into their hands.
Among the luckiest was Yuwen Wind. After parting from the battle with Gu Chen, a token had just appeared before him as he walked.
"The six great holy lands... Lin Bai... Lu Xing... Bu Nantian..."
Gu Chen pondered. He was thinking about whose hands it would be easier to snatch the tokens from among these people.
Now that his strength had greatly improved, it could be said that Gu Chen was unstoppable within the realm of spirits. He had enough confidence to regard everyone there as prey.
After much thought, Gu Chen decided to take action against people from the Burning Heaven Valley and Yuwen Wind from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.
After all, these two great holy lands were currently at odds with Gu Chen, which made him feel entirely justified in taking action against them.
"Where are the people from Burning Heaven Valley and Vault of Sky Sword Sect?" Gu Chen asked.
"This..." Upon hearing this, they were shocked, sensing Gu Chen's intent, and said, "Lord Wu'an, we do not know."
Realizing that they were not lying, Gu Chen didn't press further, and with a flash, he vanished from the spot.
"Phew..."
Only after Gu Chen had departed did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief. The pressure from Gu Chen had been overwhelming. In his presence, they had been so careful even to breathe, afraid of displeasing him.
After all, besides being Lord Wu'an of Da Xia, Gu Chen was also known as the Man-slayer in the martial world!
Gu Chen galloped across the realm of spirits at great speed, searching for the whereabouts of Burning Heaven Valley and Vault of Sky Sword Sect.
The thought of robbing the six great holy lands indicated that Gu Chen was indeed audacious. Anyone else would avoid the holy lands like the plague, but Gu Chen intended to take what he needed from them. It's uncertain what the six great holy lands would think if they knew Gu Chen's plan.
But whether it was good luck for the holy lands or for Gu Chen, he suddenly heard the sounds of battle not far away. Over a hundred martial grandmasters had gathered, vying for something.
