Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 805 - 567: Unification of the Nine Provinces, A Sensation Throughout the World_2

"What?!"

At this moment, hearing that Gu Chen had not only annihilated those Holy Sons in a single battle, safeguarding the Nine Provinces and crushing the aspirations of the Upper Realms, but had also destroyed the three great holy lands, both Ji Yuan and Qin Wu were stunned.

"Are these words true?!"

Ji Yuan sprang to his feet, his body trembling and his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Gu Chen, struggling to complete his sentences.

At this moment, in the imperial study, there were other ministers present, discussing state affairs when Gu Chen suddenly appeared, giving them a fright.

These ministers were also witnessing Ji Yuan's public loss of composure for the first time and went silent as cicadas in winter, turning their heads away as if they hadn't seen anything.

Meanwhile, in their hearts, a storm surged because of Gu Chen's words.

They all understood clearly what this truly meant.

"It's true."

In contrast to the immensely agitated Ji Yuan and the trembling Qin Wu, Gu Chen was much more composed, merely smiling and nodding his head, affirming the fact.

He understood that Ji Yuan and Qin Wu didn't distrust him, but were simply too shocked.

"This is... this is wonderful! Wonderful!"

Having received confirmation again, Ji Yuan, the emperor of Da Xia, almost jumped up with excitement in front of everyone, his complexion flushed and his eyes gleaming, completely disregarding his imperial image.

The Deputy Commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, was similarly invigorated, with trembling hands betraying his inner turmoil, and in his eyes looking at Gu Chen, indescribable emotions welled up.

One could say that Qin Wu had watched Gu Chen grow up step by step; from his weakest days, Qin Wu had taken extra care of him. But at that time, Qin Wu could not have imagined that Gu Chen would eventually reach this height.

Furthermore, along the way, he had created so many miracles that, with his own strength, he had rewritten the entire landscape of the Nine Provinces.

Such a person would surely leave a prominent mark in the history books of the Nine Provinces, not to mention being without precedent — it's feared that even future generations would not be able to compare. Gu Chen was the one and only in the Nine Provinces!

Even now, Qin Wu's head was buzzing, feeling like he was in a dream. He murmured absently, "A thread of hope, Gu Chen truly is the Nine Provinces' thread of hope!"

"Your Majesty, and Commander Qin, do not get lost in your excitement anymore, we can send people to take over everything in the holy lands," Gu Chen reminded with a smile.

"Right, right, you're right, I will dispatch someone immediately!" Speaking of this, Ji Yuan's eyes shone even brighter. Those were holy lands, after all, towering above the Nine Provinces for tens of thousands of years, overlooking the world, watching dynasties change, and heaven knows how many treasures were stored within.

"I will go in person!" At this moment, Deputy Commander Qin Wu of the Jing Tian Department stood up. He volunteered himself, eager to go.

"Granted!"

Ji Yuan nodded—such a crucial task required someone he trusted, and throughout Da Xia, the ones he trusted most were only Gu Chen, the Tower Supervisor, Qin Wu, and Steward Huang.

This assignment was evidently most suitable for Qin Wu.

Before long, Ji Yuan personally appointed some people to follow Qin Wu, along with the Commandant of the Jing Tian Department, to head to Tiandu, prepared to take over everything in the holy lands.

This news could not be concealed because there were always people visiting the holy lands to offer pilgrimage. Soon, the scene of the three great holy lands destroyed and rivers of blood flowing was witnessed by some warriors from Tiandu.

At the instigation of the Wuji Dao Sect, Cloud Heaven Palace, and Sumeru Buddhism, detailed news spread rapidly throughout the world at an incredibly fast speed!

"The holy lands have been destroyed?!"

This news swept across the heavens and earth of the Nine Provinces like an eighteen-level tornado!

Upon hearing this news, everyone's face was filled with shock and disbelief, their emotions utterly uncontrollable!

"The sacred land, the sacred land has actually been destroyed, in my lifetime, to actually witness this scene?"

"Is this really not a dream, that is the sacred land! From the ancient times until now, it has been like the great sun suspended above Jiuzhou, no matter how the prodigies have risen, or dynasties have changed, only the sacred land has remained constant without any alteration, yet now, such sacred land, has it truly been wiped out entirely?!"

"The martial arts sacred land, that is the martial arts sacred land, with supreme beings of the Divine Intent Realm within, to be extinguished just like that, it feels like a dream, this news is too shocking!"

Clearly, the awe of the sacred land had seeped deep into people's hearts. Over the years, even the children in Jiuzhou knew of the existence of the six major sacred lands, which shows how heavy their reputation weighed.

Even though the sacred land had continually suffered defeats at the hands of Gu Chen, no one dared to imagine that one day the sacred land would actually be destroyed.

"Martial King Gu Chen has defied the heavens!"

"He is only twenty-four years old! How has he reached this step?!"

"This can no longer be described as the reincarnation of a deity, this is simply a god walking on earth!"

"That's right, a god, Martial King Gu Chen is the god of Jiuzhou!"

In an instant, as the news spread, Jiuzhou boiled over, and the world was enormously shaken!

Whether it was martial artists, commoners, or children, the whole world was now discussing this matter, and one name was on everyone's lips.

That was Gu Chen!

Not to mention ancient times, in the tens of thousands of years of Jiuzhou's history, many outstanding figures had emerged, the most distinguished being the Emperor of Da Xia from over two decades ago, and Dugu Yun, the overbearing leader of the demon sect three hundred years prior.

However, both men had been outmatched by the sacred land; the demon sect was directly obliterated, and it took Dugu Yun over three hundred years to re-emerge in the world.

As for the Emperor of Da Xia, his influence was so significant that he was acclaimed as the one emperor of Jiuzhou across the ages because he nearly unified Jiuzhou with his own strength and even challenged the six major sacred lands.

Even though he eventually retreated, he was still remarkable and celebrated by the whole world.

But now, an even more astonishing piece of news had emerged; if the previous two were already at the pinnacle in Jiuzhou, one a leader of the demon sect, the other a one-of-a-kind emperor.

Then Gu Chen's accomplishments had completely surpassed theirs, and even those of all the people in the history of Jiuzhou!

No precedent had been set before him, and no one would follow after him; at this moment, in the eyes of everyone in Jiuzhou, Gu Chen was a living legend!

Even so, people no longer knew how to describe Gu Chen, because what he had done had exceeded their ability to comprehend.

"Martial King Gu Chen, the unique through all ages, invincible in the world!"

At this moment, many people across the land had shouted out this slogan, and ninety-nine percent of Jiuzhou's people had become extremely impassioned towards Gu Chen, turning into his most loyal followers.

"Changing the heavens and the earth, this is truly changing the heavens and the earth."

At the same time, some people were deeply moved. After the fall of the sacred land, there was no one left in the world to oppose, Da Xia completely unified, even integrating Tiandu into its territory!

From then on, under heaven's vast expanse, all was the king's land; under Gu Chen's leadership, this was no longer an empty statement but had become reality!

But what was even more moving was that Gu Chen was only twenty-four years old, who could believe that a person at the young age of twenty-four had achieved such a feat.

Of course, many were aware that there was still a mountain standing in the way of Gu Chen and Da Xia.

That was, the leader of the demon sect—Dugu Yun!
