Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 528 - 397: Trample and Extinguish Ling Yun Valley (Three More Updates of 10,000 Words, Please Subscribe!)_1

Youzhou, situated in a colossal valley, the temperature here is exceedingly high, reminiscent of a volcano. The landscape is overwhelmingly engulfed in shades of fiery red.

The valley spans a vast area, with waves of scorching air constantly pouring out. At the entrance, a huge stone stele proudly stands, engraved with three characters that dance like dragons and phoenixes: Ling Yun Valley!

The reason for such high temperatures here is that Ling Yun Valley specializes in fire-element martial arts techniques, which are best cultivated in this kind of environment. Thus, more than a thousand years ago, the founders chose this location to establish their sect, turning Ling Yun Valley into one of the top forces in the martial world.

The Bingpo Sect’s sect guarding heart method, known as the Sunburning Skill, is an ancient and immensely powerful Earth Grade martial arts technique. It’s said to be only a hair’s breadth away from the heavenly grade. The founder utilized this technique to gain immense fame in Youzhou and establish Ling Yun Valley as a leading force amidst the chaotic martial world.

It is also due to this technique that Ling Yun Valley has flourished for over a thousand years, producing at least one or two grandmasters at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm in each generation, and occasionally, even a top grandmaster who has achieved spiritual transcendence.

At this moment, deep within a grand hall of Ling Yun Valley, Huo Ke and You Woji were discussing something.

"The news of Gu Chen’s death has now spread throughout the world, causing turmoil across Youzhou, especially in the state city. It’s said that Governor of Youzhou Liang Zhao hasn’t closed his eyes in days, fearing that you and I will come knocking at his door," said the leader of the Refining Moon Demon Sect, You Woji, with a light smile.

Huo Ke’s face had a faint pallor. Although some time had passed, the injuries he sustained from the battle with Gu Chen had yet to heal.

The physical injuries were of little concern. In the final moments, Gu Chen unleashed his full strength and injured Huo Ke’s internal organs, but with the various healing treasures accumulated by Ling Yun Valley over the years, Huo Ke’s physical injuries had mostly healed.

However, the spiritual injury, specifically the damage to his consciousness, was more difficult to recover from.

After all, in order to slay Gu Chen, Huo Ke had, in a short period of time, used spiritual martial arts techniques seven times. Even though he was in the late stages of spiritual transcendence, it was a great burden and had nearly damaged his spiritual foundation.

Spiritual injuries are difficult to mend, so even now, Huo Ke’s complexion had not returned to normal.

"While killing Gu Chen is a joyous occasion, it has taken a toll on me. I must quickly integrate with an Earth Grade demonic spirit to heal my consciousness. Otherwise, it will greatly affect me," Huo Ke said.

Hearing this, You Woji, nodded and said, "Rest assured, Valley Master Huo, I have already sent word to our sect. However, currently, no Earth Grade demonic spirits have emerged in Youzhou, and those in the other states are all being put to use, so please be patient and wait a while longer."

"Must we keep waiting like this?" Huo Ke frowned.

You Woji smiled slightly and said, "Valley Master Huo, remember that haste doesn’t bring success. After all these years, why fret over a moment’s delay?"

In fact, he knew why Huo Ke was in such a hurry—he wanted to quickly integrate with an Earth Grade demonic spirit and then devour all the living beings in Youzhou. Doing so would nearly guarantee his breakthrough to spiritual transcendence and achievement of the Coagulation Field.

How could Huo Ke not be anxious about such a supreme opportunity?

Seeing Huo Ke about to speak again, You Woji reassured him, "Don’t worry, Valley Master Huo. The sect leader is aware of your hard work and has promised that everything in Youzhou will be yours to claim, and no one will compete with you for it—it will belong to just the two of us."

As he said this, You Woji smiled faintly; even he could hardly resist coveting the lives of millions in Youzhou.

Upon hearing these words, Huo Ke’s expression relaxed, and the anxiety he carried temporarily subsided.

"Gu Chen truly lived up to his reputation as the most talented martial prodigy in the history of the Nine Provinces, with exceptional innate strength. He managed to injure me, even though he was only at the Innate Realm," Huo Ke remarked with a sigh.

Compared to Gu Chen, his past hundred years seemed rather unfulfilled. Continue your saga on novelbuddy

"What use is his extraordinary talent if he cannot adapt? Being too rigid leads to easy breakage. Such a day for him was inevitable. With his arrogant nature, he could not walk the martial path for long," You Woji said lightly with a smile. "If Gu Chen had been adaptable, willing to join our sect, his potential would have been limitless.

But because he was stubbornly against us, his only fate was death. Compared to him, Valley Master Huo, you are much wiser."

Huo Ke nodded slightly, foreseeing that with the emergence of Earth Grade demonic spirits, the overall strength of the Six Union God Sect would surge dramatically.

No one could resist the temptation to integrate with an Earth Grade demonic spirit, not even an old and top grandmaster like Huo Ke—let alone anyone else.

Though integrating with an Earth Grade demonic spirit carried significant risks and the overall success rate wasn’t high, many martial artists would still flock to the chance.

"By the way, Valley Master Huo, do we have any leads on Gu Chen’s body?" You Woji inquired.

"None as of yet," Huo Ke shook his head.

You Woji’s gaze flickered. He was aware that Gu Chen possessed treasures of the spiritual realm, and both he and Huo Ke sought Gu Chen’s body with the aim of obtaining these treasures to offer to the sect leader of the Six Union God Sect, Dugu Yun.
