Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 763 - 541: Holy Battle Ground (Three more thousand words, asking for subscription!)_1
"What did you say?!"
"Is that true?!"
"You should know the consequences of deceiving us!"
Upon hearing the news that the heavenly seed was actually on Gu Chen, Huang Yan, Cui Ce, and Luo Shisen were all shocked.
What was the heavenly seed? Those who came from the upper realm knew all too well—it was something that could defy the heavens and change fate, exceedingly rare even in the upper realm.
At least until now, they had not heard of anyone fortunate enough to acquire it.
There was indeed a heavenly seed in the lower realm once, but it had never matured, and at that time the upper realm couldn't cross over, so they entrusted the task to the Six Union God Sect of Shen Zhou.
But unexpectedly, the project failed, leaving the upper realm deeply disappointed and even enraged.
However, what they had never anticipated was that today it would be "regained," how could this not excite Huang Yan, Cui Ce, and Luo Shisen?
Even Fu Ling, who was a sanctified son, showed a stir of emotion and looked towards the Vault of Sky Sword Sect Master because of this statement.
Seeing the sanctified son casting a look, the pressure suddenly surged on the Vault of Sky Sword Sect Master, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
"What's going on? Wasn't it said that the heavenly seed was taken by the so-called Six Union God Sect?" Huang Yan asked with a frown.
They had already understood that the so-called cult leader Dugu Yun was possessed by an evil demon; and although the heavenly seed was extraordinary, falling into the hands of an evil demon that could loot everything, it was still unlikely to have a good end.
Regarding evil demons, even Huang Yan and his companions from the upper realm, as well as Fu Ling, the sanctified son of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, were extremely wary.
Not to mention them, even the holy lord of Vault of Sky Sword Sect in the upper realm was extremely apprehensive of the evil demons.
How did the forbidden zones of life in the upper realm come into being? Because of the evil demons!
The reason they were called forbidden zones of life was that any creature entering would have its life mercilessly stripped away; even holy lords would face certain death upon entry.
At this moment, Fu Ling, the sanctified son, was also intently watching the Vault of Sky Sword Sect Master, causing the latter's body to break out in sweat.
Therefore, the Sect Master of Vault of Sky hurriedly spoke, "Saint Son, here's the truth: Initially, we thought the heavenly seed had fallen into the hands of the evil demon Dugu Yun, but later on, we discovered that was not the case."
"All this was Gu Chen of Da Xia's scheme. He replaced the genuine with the fake and deceived us all. The true heavenly seed was taken by him under the radar, and it's precisely for this reason he has achieved such unprecedented success in Shen Zhou."
"That would explain it. With the heavenly seed, reaching the Divine Intent Realm at his age makes sense," Huang Yan commented with a nod as he heard this.
"What failures, why didn't you detect it at the beginning? Now, the heavenly seed might have completely merged with him!" Luo Shisen chastised with a dark countenance.
"No, that may not be the case." At this, Cui Ce, also a direct disciple from one of the sanctified lands, said, "He has just broken through to the Divine Intent Realm. Given the environment of the lower realm's Shen Zhou without expert guidance, he wouldn't be able to achieve that. The heavenly seed cannot develop a prototype of the world, so we still have an opportunity."
"So you're saying that our goal now is just to capture this Gu Chen, right?" asked Huang Yan with a cold voice.
"Correct," Cui Ce nodded.
"I never expected that a trip to the lower realm might yield such unexpected spoils." Luo Shisen, with a hawk nose, grinned, feeling somewhat excited.
The heavenly seed was extraordinary, and though it would inevitably end up in the hands of the sanctified son Fu Ling or be handed over to the holy land, at the very least, they would still get to comprehend it and reap some benefits.
"This Gu Chen turned out to be our 'lucky star,'" Huang Yan also said with a cold laugh.
"Hmm, I have another idea." At this moment, Cui Ce looked at Fu Ling and said, "Saint Son, I think we can subjugate this Gu Chen of Da Xia. Since we're seeking the legacy, although not vast, the search would be overwhelming with just us. But with Da Xia having united Shen Zhou, becoming the only dynasty in the mortal realm with countless manpower, deploying them for the search would be killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't it?"
At this, Huang Yan raised an eyebrow, "The legacy emerges, and the entirety of Shen Zhou will be ruined. Gu Chen isn't a fool; why would he help us?"
"Then he has no choice!" Luo Shisen grinned fiercely.
Cui Ce glanced at Fu Ling and added, "He's just a native genius after all. Before witnessing the truly vast world, he always thinks he's unique, the unparalleled number one, but in reality, he's just a frog in a well. Once he sees the Saint Son's divine might, he'll naturally submit. If he's unwilling, we'll just kill him and intimidate the emperor of Da Xia with his head."
"To make them obey, there aren't many methods, are there? We need to make them understand, we, as dragons, are also merciful and willing to give these ants a chance—it just depends on whether they seize it or not."
"Saint Son and all the direct disciples surely understand the deeper merits. If Gu Chen knew about this, he'd undoubtedly be overwhelmed with gratitude," said the Sect Master of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, sitting below.
"Agreed," responded the Saint Son Fu Ling with a slight nod of his head, his expression indifferent, as he didn't really care about most happenings in Shen Zhou.
"We need to act quickly; the others must also be arriving in the lower realm by now," Huang Yan said gravely.
The Wuji Dao Gate, Cloud Heaven Palace, Mount Sumeru Buddhist Sect, and other powers including Mount Tianzhu, Burning Heaven Valley, and the Pure Yang Martial Sect, all had Saint-level characters descend to vie for the inheritance.
Now, all the upper realm powers have tacitly agreed that Jiuzhou has become the first battlefield for these Saint-level characters after their emergence.
Whoever could seize the inheritance would not only claim an early victory and prove their extraordinary nature, but it also would have a profound impact on the future.
Even the various Saints of the upper realm were paying close attention to the competition in Jiuzhou, ready to cast their gaze upon it at any moment.
For Huang Yan, Luo Shisen, and Cui Ce, the anticipation for the clash between these Saint-level characters was immense.
After all, this would be the first time the Saint-level characters would confront each other since their emergence. Although not in their true bodies, it would still prove a great deal.
Do not be fooled by Fu Ling's current indifference; if he truly encountered characters of the same level, he would not behave as he does now.
"I never thought the day would come when Jiuzhou, this broken realm, would become a place of utmost importance."
When they first heard this news, Huang Yan and the others couldn't help but shake their heads. The so-called barbaric land had unexpectedly turned into the battlefield for the Saints' campaign.
"Having the chance to witness such characters compete, even if Jiuzhou is destroyed as a result, the beings of the lower realm are extremely fortunate."
This was the thought of everyone in the upper realm, with countless people eagerly anticipating the great battle of the Saint-level characters.
"Chu Yue Ling has also descended. Find her," said Fu Ling of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, who had not spoken until now, mentioning a name unfamiliar to the sect leader of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

"Chu Yue Ling?" The sect leader was puzzled, unsure who this was.
"This woman is the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road!" Huang Yan seeing the ignorant expression of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect leader, cooled his demeanor.
"The Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road?!"
At these words, the sect leader of Vault of Sky Sword Sect was shocked, realizing the gravity of the situation. Even from the lower realm, he was exceedingly clear about what Taoxu Road represented.
That was a colossal power in the upper realm, a notch above the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, commanding immense fame throughout the vast upper realm.
The Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, a character of such a level, was undoubtedly superior to Fu Ling, the Saint Son of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, in both status and identity.
"Is the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road also a spiritual body that has descended to the lower realm?" the sect leader of Vault of Sky Sword Sect muttered softly.
Fu Ling remained silent, his eyes deep with thought. His descent to the lower realm was not only for the heritage of Jiuzhou but also because he had ideas about Chu Yue Ling.
As the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, her talent, strength, status, and beauty were all exceptionally extraordinary. Fu Ling believed Chu Yue Ling was his ideal partner, and only such a woman was worthy of him.
Of course, being the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling had numerous pursuers in the upper realm, so this descent was seen by Fu Ling as an opportunity.
"As you command." The sect leader of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect hurriedly agreed, not daring to show the slightest neglect to the Saint Son's order.
If he caused even a slight displeasure to Fu Ling, it would be no problem for Fu Ling to kill him on the spot.
To a Saint Son, even if someone holds the position of sect leader of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect in the lower realm, the status difference is too great.
As for power, it wasn't even close. Even though Fu Ling was not in his true body but instead a spiritual body that had descended, his strength had reached the grand completion of the Divine Intent Realm. Only other Saint Sons of the Holy Land were qualified to compete or even fight against him.
Besides them, any grand completion cultivator of the Divine Intent Realm, the sect leader of Vault of Sky Sword Sect was certain, wouldn't last three moves against Fu Ling.
"You go too, the quicker the better," said Fu Ling as he glanced at Huang Yan, Cui Ce, and Luo Shisen, issuing them the same command.
"Yes!"
The three of them hurriedly complied, fully aware that Chu Yue Ling meant to Fu Ling as much as the divine seed and the heritage of Jiuzhou.
After all, within Taoxu Road, there reside living supreme beings!
And as for the so-called Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, Luo Shisen and the others aspired to her as well, yet they knew that such a heaven-sent extraordinary girl would not even consider them, despite their status as direct disciples of the Saint Land.
"You may all leave." Having finished giving his orders, Saint Son Fu Ling spoke indifferently. Hearing this, everyone bowed and showed the utmost respect, carefully retreating with their waists bent.
Meanwhile, at the Jing Tian Department headquarters in Tiandu, Shen Zhou, Gu Chen flipped his hand, and a jade-like bone shard suddenly appeared in his palm.
Now, with a mere thought, the bone shard in his hand could reach across vast distances to establish contact with someone else.
And the other end of the jade shard was connected to none other than the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road—Chu Yue Ling!
