Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 221 Overbearing_1

"Gu Chen?"

Wu Changyun and a group of others heard this and their faces showed surprise, as if they hadn't expected Tiandu to actually send Gu Chen.

"Is it the Gu Chen from the rumors, who cultivated the legendary Vajra Body that no one in the Nine Provinces has achieved in hundreds of years?" Qiu Li asked, frowning.

"Indeed," Jiang Huan slowly nodded.

"He is at the Gang Qi Stage, right?" asked Xiang Zheng from the Breaking Wave Clan.

What he meant was, with the current situation in Yan State, what use would it be to send a martial artist who is only at the Gang Qi Stage? Enjoy more content from empire

"Vajra Body?" At this moment, Kui Gang sneered and said, "The reputation sure has spread quickly, but who knows if it's just something Da Xia deliberately circulated to help Gu Chen build his reputation? No one has achieved it for hundreds of years, so what's so special about Gu Chen?"

White Tiger Clan's cultivation techniques mainly focused on body refining, and back when Kui Gang was at the Vajra Stage, he had also attempted to reach the Vajra Body realm but failed.

However, it was precisely because of this that he knew just how difficult it was to reach the Vajra Body level in the flesh while at the Vajra Stage.

"Rumors in the martial world are always easily exaggerated. I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes," agreed the direct disciple from the Feixue Sword Sect, nodding.

Seeing that the group didn't believe him, Jiang Huan spoke in a deep voice, "It's true. Gu Chen defeated the Great Yuan Buddha's Son Ananda in Tiandu, witnessed by countless people. There's no faking that."

Qiu Li spoke sarcastically, "What's so great about that Great Yuan Buddha's Son Ananda? I don't believe in any talk of reincarnation. If it were true, Great Yuan wouldn't have been suppressed by Da Xia for so many years."

Every genius is proud, and unless they witness it with their own eyes, no one is willing to admit they are inferior to someone else.

Even, they suspected that because the Jing Tian Department, or rather Da Xia, was in a weak position, they specifically promoted someone, using various methods to increase his reputation, in order to showcase the abundance of talents in the Jing Tian Department, and in doing so, also indirectly regain some of the prestige that Da Xia had lost over time.

"Are you saying that Gu Chen has ideas too?"

Wu Changyun and the others were immediately intrigued at the thought, realizing that recruiting a freak talent like Gu Chen would be a welcome event for the forces they represented.

Moreover, if a freak talent like Gu Chen were to leave Da Xia, the news would deal a significant blow to Da Xia's reputation and would mean the loss of a genius with boundless potential.

Jiang Huan and Dong Ziwei's expressions darkened upon hearing that Gu Chen would also be arriving shortly. They glanced at each other, as Le Zhengyang had not informed them of this on the way here.

...

While the group at the mountain peak was discussing, Gu Chen, dressed in a dark robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall figure, had also arrived at the place.

At the foot of the mountain, people were guarding the area, and upon seeing Gu Chen, someone immediately stopped him.

"Who goes there? State your name."

"Gu Chen!"

Hearing the name "Gu Chen," the two martial artists guarding the place changed their expressions, obviously aware of Gu Chen's deeds.

Sure enough, the very next moment, they let him pass without daring to stop him.

Seeing this, Gu Chen proceeded along the stone steps, walking up towards the peak of the Liuyun Mountain at a leisurely pace.

And the reason for his arrival was also for the Ancient Strange Object, the Sun Flame Stone.

After all, the heritages of these top forces in the martial world are extremely ancient, existing even longer than the founding of Da Xia. What Da Xia and the Jing Tian Department lacked did not mean that sects like the Da Guangming Sect lacked them as well.

For Gu Chen, the importance of different types of Gangqi was self-evident. He needed to cultivate a unique type of Gangqi at the Gang Qi Stage to face increasingly powerful enemies.
