Chapter 475 359
"Marquis of Wu'an!"
He was furious, but deep within his pupils, there lay a profound dread of Gu Chen.
The middle-aged man had never imagined that a mere junior, who had just entered the innate realm, would possess such strength, bordering on invincible.
"Old Celestial Master, are you still not showing yourself?" Gu Chen's voice echoed over Mount Longhu, resonating for a long time.
Clearly, he was disregarding the five Innate Realm grandmasters of the Celestial Master Tao, leaving them without an ounce of face.
A mere twenty-two-year-old junior was able to walk unhindered on Mount Longhu, and even the fully-realized Innate Realm warriors were powerless against him. This battle only deepened Gu Chen's fame in the hearts of everyone present.
The form of the invincible!
That was the thought in the minds of many warriors present, especially those Innate Realm martial grandmasters.
Such talent, such combat power, was truly terrifying.
One might even say it was unprecedented.
The middle-aged man from the Celestial Master Tao of Mount Longhu turned an iron shade of blue, ready to make another move.
At that moment, Gu Chen abruptly turned his head, his eyes blazing as he stared at the man and said, "Dare to provoke me again, and don't blame me for being ruthless!"
A twenty-two-year-old young man was scolding a fully-realized Innate Realm grandmaster who had established a formidable reputation in the martial world. The scene seemed odd, yet everyone felt it was only natural.
The fully-realized Innate master from the Celestial Master Tao of Mount Longhu stiffened. At that instant, he truly felt a life-threatening crisis that froze him in place.
"And you all, the same goes for you!" Gu Chen's gaze swept around, intimidating the five Innates of the Celestial Master Tao.
"Sigh..."
Suddenly, an ancient sigh sounded, soft but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Old Celestial Master!"
The people of the Celestial Master Tao of Mount Longhu all changed expression, recognizing the voice as belonging to the Old Celestial Master.
"Why must the Marquis of Wu'an continue to be so aggressive?" The voice of the Old Celestial Master was heard before he was seen, not revealing himself but his voice echoed in the area.
"Is the Old Celestial Master going to step in to teach Gu Chen a lesson?" At this moment, everyone was watching nervously.
This was a martial sage of divine passage, one of just a handful in the whole of Da Xia, revered to the highest degree, an insurmountable peak in Da Xia.
Although Gu Chen did not say it outright, the old Celestial Master understood Gu Chen's implication. The Marquis Wu'an clearly intended to unify the Nine Provinces.
Gu Chen said: "To be frank, some forces have already agreed. The reason I have sought out the old Celestial Master is not only for your strength but also for your prestige in the martial world. If you join, it would greatly facilitate the success of this endeavor."
The old Celestial Master fell silent again for a moment before his voice rang out once more, "But as things stand, I cannot trust you or Da Xia."
Clearly, the old Celestial Master was quite aware of the strength of the Six Union God Sect, and no matter how one looked at it, the present Da Xia could not possibly be a match for Dugu Yun, the sect leader of the Six Union God Sect, once he emerged from seclusion.
Besides, Gu Chen had also offended the six sacred sites. No one knew what the future would hold.
"Does the old Celestial Master not have confidence in me?" Gu Chen asked.
"No, I do trust in Marquis Wu'an's talent and strength. It is Da Xia that I do not have confidence in," the old Celestial Master said.
"Then what would it take for the old Celestial Master to agree?" Gu Chen slightly furrowed his brow.
He understood the old Celestial Master's thoughts. On the demonic sects' side, the old Celestial Master knew of their ruthless ambition and therefore was unwilling to join.
But as for Da Xia, with the disappearance of the Summer Emperor, the Grand Commander of the Jing Tian Department and the Master of the Mingjing Department were in the same situation, their top tier combat strength far inferior to the Six Union God Sect. The old Celestial Master didn't dare to put all his bets on Da Xia.
"Once Marquis Wu'an has reached the realm of divine communion, the Celestial Master Sect will make a choice," the old Celestial Master said.
"The realm of divine communion?" Gu Chen said, "Alright, I do not believe it will take too long. Old Celestial Master, you must remember your promise."
The old Celestial Master was silent for a moment, seemingly somewhat taken aback. After all, there were no more than a dozen divine communion martial experts in the vast Nine Provinces, and Gu Chen was so confident?
But on second thought, the old Celestial Master also understood that, with Gu Chen's talent and strength, along with the support of Da Xia, becoming a divine communion martial expert might indeed not take too long.
"Marquis Wu'an, rest assured, I will definitely remember. But I also urge you to be extremely careful. The demonic sects will not let things go easily," the old Celestial Master finally said.
"Thank you for the reminder, old Celestial Master."
After saying these words, Gu Chen immediately felt that the spiritual sense of the old Celestial Master had completely disappeared.
Outside, at this moment, all eyes were on Gu Chen. Without his voice, the place was utterly silent.
Soon, after the spiritual sense of the old Celestial Master disappeared, Gu Chen scanned the crowd, cupped his fists, and said, "Today, I have offended many. I will take my leave first."
Now that he had nearly achieved his goal and knew the old Celestial Master's stance, Gu Chen naturally would not linger there any longer, decisively turning to leave.
At this moment, the gaze of everyone still followed Gu Chen, watching him depart.
What had happened here would soon spread, and Gu Chen's direct confrontation with the old Celestial Master, a divine communion martial expert, would surely become the talk of countless people.
