Saint Gate headquarters, within the black demon mountain.

All eight Great Elders of the Saint Gate gathered here, at which point Venerable Blood Assassin suddenly spoke up, saying, "I have already joined forces with Gu Chen."

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"You succeeded so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Fire Sect Master Gu Tianming and the other seven Great Elders of the Saint Gate were immediately taken aback.

They had only just finished their discussion not long ago, and Venerable Blood Assassin had already succeeded in hooking Gu Chen so quickly – wasn’t this efficiency a bit too swift?

At this moment, Venerable Blood Assassin slightly shook his head and said, "I did not find him, it was he who took the initiative to come to me, asking that I join him in eradicating the life-forbidden zone."

"Hahaha, I knew it, with the relationship between you and that kid, Gu Chen would sooner or later take the bait, and this time, he cannot escape his fate!"

"That kid trusts you the most in the entire Upper Realm, besides Situ Yin, doesn’t he?"

Gu Tianming and the other seven Great Elders were overjoyed upon hearing that the plan was a success, their faces beaming with elation.

Mostly because the threat Gu Chen posed to them was far too great, as in such a short time, he had already managed to slay an ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and broke through to the mid-stage of the Inquiry Realm.

If they allowed the young man more time to grow, they feared that none of them would be a match for him later on.

Venerable Blood Assassin was puzzled, and he too was somewhat baffled as to why Gu Chen would take the initiative to come to him.

Previously, he had been considering under what pretenses to lure Gu Chen, never expecting success to come so suddenly.

"What, Taoxu, do you think that because success came too quickly, there must be some deceit?" the Fire Sect Master said.

Indeed, the true identity of Venerable Blood Assassin of the Saint Gate, was none other than the master of Taoxu Road from the Great Undying Dao Clan—Taoxu!

This was an outcome that any cultivator could hardly imagine, utterly beyond expectation!

Even Gu Tianming and the several other Elders were astonishingly surprised when they learned of Venerable Blood Assassin’s true identity.

One could only say that he disguised himself too well.

So well that not even a single person within Taoxu Road had noticed.

At this time, someone among the Eight Great Elders asked, "Taoxu, I’m very curious, with that young man trusting you so much, and even growing up under your protection, why didn’t you take the opportunity to kill him earlier?"

Once this was said, all the Elders also looked over, as this was a question they had always wanted to know the answer to.

Considering the relationship between the Taoxu Road master and Gu Chen, as well as the latter’s trust in him, there were plenty of opportunities for him to act, no need to wait until now.

Venerable Blood Assassin, that is, the Taoxu Road master glanced at the other seven Great Elders and said indifferently, "In the past, who could have imagined that in such a short time, this youth could achieve so much?"

With this said, the other seven Great Elders also nodded in agreement. Gu Chen’s rise was indeed too legendary, or rather, mythical, simply unprecedented.

Where could one find a cultivator less than a hundred years old at the Inquiry Realm? It was beyond the wildest fables!

Originally, the Taoxu Road master, seeing Gu Chen’s unparalleled talent, had the idea of cultivating him into a powerful individual and then devouring him, because to them, the higher the cultivation level and strength of the cultivation they devoured, the greater the benefits they would receive.

After all, in the beginning, Gu Chen’s strength was too weak, not even reaching the Primordial Realm even after coming out of the holy realm, hence devouring him would bring limited benefits to someone of his level of strength, and be too costly.

Later on, once it was confirmed that the source of the myriad realms was on Gu Chen, the Taoxu Road master’s thoughts began to stir, intending to wait until the young junior broke through to the full completion of the Primordial Realm and then find an appropriate opportunity to devour him.

In that way, the source of the myriad realms would fall into his hands, unknown to anyone.

Moreover, at that time, the Holy Master of the Saint Gate was also in seclusion, seeking an unconventional breakthrough and ascension. freēnovelkiss.com

However, to his surprise, Gu Chen silently broke through to the Inquiry Realm, something Taoxu Road master had not anticipated, beyond his expectations.

But of course, there was no need to tell the other seven Great Elders these reasons, though Gu Tianming and the others vaguely had their guesses.

"Fortunately, Taoxu did not succeed, otherwise the source of the myriad realms would have truly fallen into his hands," all seven Great Elders murmured to themselves.

"When that kid finds out your true identity, I’m sure he’ll be in for a big shock, won’t he?" the Fire Sect Master said with a stern voice and a cold smile on his face.

"Opportunity knocks but once; this time, let’s just deal with him directly," said Taoxu, the Taoxu Road master, his voice indifferent and no longer bearing his usual gentleness, as though he had become a completely different person.

"No problem," all other seven Great Elders replied with laughter.

This time, in their eyes, the chance of success was one hundred percent, with no possibility of failure.

...

Liuyun Domain, this place is one of the middle-to-large sized domains among the three thousand six hundred domains of the Upper Realm.

Not long ago, a life-forbidden zone emerged in this domain, occupied by a monarch-level celestial demon.

Previously, Gu Chen had arrived here, but due to being alone, he was unable to completely suppress the celestial demon and merely sealed it.

This time, he invited the master of Taoxu Road to help out, and with their combined strength, they could naturally suppress the monarch-level celestial demon in the life-forbidden zone, capturing it into the cosmic cauldron for refinement.

As exceptional individuals at the Inquiry Realm, the two of them traveled at an extremely fast speed, and in no time, they arrived at the entrance of the life-forbidden zone.

"For this occasion, thank you, Master, for your assistance," said Gu Chen.
