Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 767 - 542: The Truth of Kyushu, No Inheritance_2

"The Nine Cauldrons!" When it came to the legacy, Chu Yue Ling's clear eyes also revealed a solemn hue as she said these two words.

After all, that belonged to an existence at the same level as Daoist Ancestors of Taoxu Road—even if they had passed away for countless ages, they were still worthy of reverence.

"The Nine Cauldrons?" Gu Chen furrowed his brow, murmuring softly.

"The Nine Provinces were evolved from the Nine Cauldrons. This is a supreme artifact, extraordinarily transcendent. If someone were to obtain it, even only one of them, in the Upper Realm they could carve out a vast expanse of the sky and become a sovereign, dominating the world. They could even use it to establish a holy land-level force, overlooking the mundane world!"

When Chu Yue Ling spoke of the Nine Cauldrons, her voice became somewhat solemn. She said, "If one could obtain all the Nine Cauldrons, and successfully comprehend them, receiving the complete inheritance, surpassing holy lands, breaking through limits, and reaching the step of transcending the ordinary and entering the holy, it is not impossible!"

"By that time, even in the vast and boundless Upper Realm, one could traverse and excel, seizing the lead. This is the opportunity that great figures of the Upper Realm dream of."

At this moment, after listening to Chu Yue Ling's description, Gu Chen was so shocked that he could hardly recover. Although he did not understand what transcending the ordinary and entering the holy meant, he was clear that it must be equivalent to the level of the Daoist Ancestors of Taoxu Road, capable of being hailed as the most powerful, commanding respect in the vast Upper Realm.

The legacy of the Nine Cauldrons had such a far-reaching impact. It was no wonder that the Upper Realm spared no expense to constantly send people across worlds, evidently determined to achieve their goal at all costs.

"It is because of the transcendence of the Nine Cauldrons that even some of the strongest beings had not deduced that the Nine Provinces were evolved from the Nine Cauldrons, and with the artifacts concealing themselves, not revealing themselves until the time came. After the eras of the Great Antiquity, the Remote Antiquity, and the Ancient Times passed, the Upper Realm still had not obtained this inheritance."

"Were it not for the demonic invasion that disrupted the rules of heaven and earth in the Nine Provinces, breaking the self-sealing of this world, causing the Upper Realm to have the possibility of coming to the lower realm again, perhaps the Nine Cauldrons would have been permanently buried."

Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling of the Taoxu Road, with a voice as ethereal and splendid, revealed to Gu Chen an ancient secret not known to the entirety of the Nine Provinces.

Even in the Upper Realm, those who knew the full story of this matter were exceedingly rare.

After hearing all this, even Gu Chen's heart could not return to calm for a long time.

"Who was that most powerful being?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yue Ling's clear and lucid eyes filled with awe as she said softly, "Emperor Yu!"

"Emperor Yu?" Gu Chen murmured; for some reason, at the moment these two words appeared, he felt as if the heaven and earth around him were resonating. Vaguely, he seemed to glimpse a boundless and magnificent panoramic scroll.

"Do you feel it?" At this moment, Chu Yue Ling suddenly spoke, saying, "Emperor Yu was the master of the Nine Cauldrons. As these two words are spoken, this world feels it, resonating with it. Indistinctly, the past of Emperor Yu also flashed by in an instant—that figure, in the era of Great Antiquity, was the leader of the Human Clan, having made indelible contributions to the entire clan, creating the civilization of the Human Clan that has been passed down to the present."

Although Gu Chen had not learned of Emperor Yu's past, listening to Chu Yue Ling's narration, he vaguely felt a resonance, and a sense of sorrow emerged for the fall of Emperor Yu.

This made him ask subconsciously, "In that case, how did such a person pass away?"

Chu Yue Ling heard this, but this time she did not reply and instead shook her head, her expression seeming apprehensive of something.

"One should not frequently mention the name of such a person, even if they have fallen, because it involves a tremendous causality. Any slightest accident that occurs cannot be borne by people of our level," cautioned Chu Yue Ling.

Of course, if someone were to obtain the Nine Cauldrons, they would also inherit Emperor Yu's karma, for the one who obtains the Nine Cauldrons is equivalent to receiving Emperor Yu's inheritance, as his direct disciple.

"Why would Miss Chu tell me so much today, is it merely to persuade me to join Taoxu Road?" Gu Chen looked at Chu Yue Ling, his voice filled with puzzlement.

"With Brother Gu's aptitude, naturally, you are qualified to know this secret. Besides, looking across the entire Nine Provinces, if there is someone who is most likely to obtain the legacy of the Nine Cauldrons, it is none other than you, Brother Gu," said Chu Yue Ling. She was pure and untainted by even a speck of dust, sitting there with a bearing that gave off the sensation as though she could ascend to immortality at any moment.

Hearing this, Gu Chen immediately shook his head with a chuckle, saying, "Miss Chu flatters me too much."

"Brother Gu need not be overly modest," said Chu Yue Ling. Her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her eyes twinkling with divine light, she continued, "Someone with your aptitude is also rare even in the Upper Realm. I truly cannot bear to see a hero like Brother Gu perish with the Nine Provinces—the calamity of demons and devils has caused havoc across countless eras, destroying one world after another. The current Upper Realm is also deeply affected by it. If a person like Brother Gu could rise, in confronting these evils, you would surely spare no effort and give it your all."

"That is only natural," said Gu Chen, his expression resolute.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of admiration in his heart. The Holy Maiden of the Taoxu Road was indeed extraordinary and exceptional; her thoughts were no longer limited to one family or region, but encompassed the entire universe.

This breadth of vision made Gu Chen feel somewhat ashamed for a moment.

Perhaps, it was precisely such an outlook from Chu Yue Ling that had allowed her to achieve what she had today. Being able to become the Holy Maiden of the Taoxu Road, she truly lived up to the name.

Thus, the reason why Chu Yue Ling extended such courtesy to him was because they shared the same goal—to eradicate demons and devils.

At this moment, Gu Chen looked at Chu Yue Ling and suddenly asked with a smile, "Isn't Miss Chu worried that by telling me so much, the Nine Cauldrons might be obtained by me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yue Ling's gaze was serene and tranquil, and she responded with a casual air, "Even if they are obtained by Brother Gu, what of it?"

Being the Holy Maiden of the Taoxu Road, with living powerhouses in her sect, the inheritance of Emperor Yu was important to Chu Yue Ling but not to the point of being all-consuming.

Moreover, how could someone of her stature possess only a single inheritance?

Seeing this, Gu Chen was at first dumbfounded and then shook his head with a chuckle, saying, "Miss Chu's words make Gu feel rather petty."

Chu Yue Ling's eyes, clear as a spring, gazed at Gu Chen, saying, "I hope Brother Gu will seriously consider what I've said. I do not wish to see a peerless hero like Brother Gu perish along with the Nine Provinces. That would truly be a pity."

Gu Chen remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Chu Yue Ling sighed softly, understanding his stance, and then changed the topic, saying, "Brother Gu, I suppose you have already prepared for our next destination?"

Gu Chen smiled slightly at this and said, "Then Miss Chu, where is our next destination?"

"Ink Province!" declared Chu Yue Ling.
