Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 620 455: Infinite Prominence_2

After all, in the eyes of those from the Upper Realm, even though he possessed remarkable talent, just as Yuan Feng had said, prodigies were endless in the Upper Realm. There were many who were comparable to Gu Chen, and even some stronger than him. Although rare, they did exist. For the realm of Wuji Dao to pay a huge price to also bring his uncle's family to the Upper Realm, this request was indeed not particularly realistic.

Unless Gu Chen displayed an even stronger talent, otherwise, the Holy Land would not agree.

However, the next moment, Yuan Feng's tone shifted, and he said, "There is another way. If Brother Gu could perform a great deed for the Holy Land, then it's not just about taking Brother Gu's relatives to the Upper Realm, the Holy Land would agree to all other requests as well."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched upward as he asked, "How exactly can one perform a great deed for the Holy Land?"

Yuan Feng smiled faintly, not answering directly but instead asking, "Does Brother Gu know why we have descended to the Lower Realm this time?"

On hearing this, Gu Chen immediately felt a chill in his heart and focused all his attention; he was very eager to know the answer too.

Then Yuan Feng spoke, "There are great secrets in Youzhou! As for the specifics, I still cannot fully disclose them to Brother Gu, but what I can tell you is that the origins of Youzhou are incredibly extraordinary. If traced back to its roots, one could even say they are boundlessly significant. An ultimate power left behind a supreme legacy here, and that is the reason we descended to the Lower Realm this time."

"A supreme legacy left by an ultimate power in Youzhou?" Gu Chen looked startled.

No wonder the Holy Lands and Da Sects of the Upper Realm spared no expense in descending; it was because of this reason.

At the same time, Gu Chen also keenly caught on to Yuan Feng's words, "The extraordinary origins of Youzhou's roots."

However, since he had not joined the sect of Wuji Dao, Yuan Feng would not divulge everything.

Gu Chen asked curiously, "This so-called supreme legacy left by an ultimate power, how does it compare with the inheritance of the Holy Lands?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng's expression turned solemn as he shook his head and said, "Such a power, even in the Upper Realm, can look down upon the entire world. Brother Gu, you are not from the Upper Realm and simply cannot imagine the extent to which such powers have reached, nor the status they hold. Even some Holy Lands are no match for them and would easily be destroyed in their presence."

Continuing, a look of yearning appeared in Yuan Feng's eyes. He gazed into the distance and said, "One could even say that such powers are, by themselves, equivalent to a Holy Land, or perhaps even surpassing it. Aside from a few forbidden zones of life in the Upper Realm, nothing else can bind them."

Yuan Feng knew that Gu Chen had never been to the Upper Realm and could not comprehend the terror of such powers, so he explained, "Brother Gu, if such powers were to strike, with a single blow they could annihilate the entire Youzhou. This realm would crumble in an instant. With this description, do you understand, Brother Gu?"

"What?!"

On hearing this, Gu Chen was greatly shocked; a single strike that could completely destroy a realm?

So, this was the meaning of an ultimate power as described by Yuan Feng.

"Such powers are almost unseen in the Upper Realm, exceedingly rare, belonging to ancestral figures. A legacy left by such figures, if it appeared in the Upper Realm, could shake the entire world, leading to boundless strife and upheaval. Then the whole Upper Realm would be thrown into chaos and bloodshed, with countless heads of the Holy Lands miserably losing their lives, turning the Upper Realm into a purgatory," Yuan Feng said with a soft sigh.

These few sentences contained a considerable amount of information, especially the words "forbidden zones of life," which caught Gu Chen's attention.

Yuan Feng said with piercing eyes, "This time, the emergence of the legacy from an ultimate power in Youzhou is also an opportunity for us. Because the land of Youzhou is broken, true powers cannot descend, which is why we, the lesser beings, have this chance. Brother Gu, if you can help the Holy Land obtain this item, though you will not be able to possess it and must offer it to the Holy Land, they will allow you to comprehend it first, which is greatly beneficial for your future. At the same time, no matter what request you make, the Holy Land will satisfy it, even to become a candidate for Holy Son."

"Candidate for Holy Son?" Although Gu Chen did not know what it entailed, he understood that the status of a candidate for Holy Son must be extraordinary, possibly someone who might have the chance to take charge of the Holy Land in the future.

"How about it, Brother Gu, would you consider cooperating with us to seek this opportunity?" Yuan Feng's gaze was intense as he looked at Gu Chen.

Setting aside Gu Chen's own strength, the fact that he was backed by Da Xia, which, even though just a human kingdom and hardly noticed by the Holy Lands in the Upper Realm, wielded considerable manpower in the Lower Realm. This could be instrumental in the search for the legacy.

This was also the second reason why Yuan Feng invited Gu Chen to join the sect of Wuji Dao.

"A legacy with boundlessly significant origins?"

Gu Chen's eyebrows knitted slightly. He was curious about such a legacy, but at this moment, Gu Chen recalled what the Tower Supervisor had said to him.

"Stop them."

These four words echoed again in Gu Chen's ears, and he understood that the Tower Supervisor must have had a reason for this directive.

"Perhaps, the legacy they seek lies somewhere within Youzhou, and its emergence would cause irreversible damage to Youzhou?" Gu Chen thought to himself.

Then, a thought struck Gu Chen, and he turned to Yuan Feng, asking, "May I ask Taoist Priest, if we are to search for this so-called legacy, where should we begin?"

Hearing this, Yuan Feng replied with just two words, "Underground."

"Underground?"

Gu Chen was somewhat surprised, but the next moment, he suddenly remembered the two disciples from the Wan Xu Mystic Sect who were part of the first group to descend in Youzhou.

Back then, they had also asked Gu Chen to dig three feet into the ground, in search of something.

"Underground, is this supreme legacy hidden there? To obtain the legacy, turning Youzhou upside down is too costly and damaging," he mused.

If all twenty-one states had to be searched, the human and material resources consumed would be unimaginable, and it would heavily impact the people living in Youzhou.

Moreover, such a legacy would not be easily acquired; it could not simply be found by scouring Youzhou. Who knew if there were any formations or the like that, if triggered, could potentially destroy an entire region.

"So, this is why the Tower Supervisor asked me to stop them," Gu Chen finally understood the Tower Supervisor's rationale.

"I need to consider it and then give you an answer," Gu Chen said.

"That's fine."

Yuan Feng nodded, understanding that it was unrealistic for Gu Chen to agree immediately but believing that Gu Chen could not help but be tempted by the promise of an ultimate power and supreme legacy.

"By the way, there is one more thing I would like to consult with the Taoist Priest about," just then, Gu Chen's gaze flickered, and the image of a mysterious woman came to his mind.

"But speak, Brother Gu," Yuan Feng nodded.

"It's like this. Previously in Youzhou, I encountered a woman who…" Gu Chen then described the mysterious woman's features to Yuan Feng.

"What, she has also descended to the Lower Realm?!" After listening to Gu Chen's description, Yuan Feng showed a change in expression for the first time in their conversation.
