Chapter 1256: Chapter 226: The World in Turmoil

Descendant of Emperor Yu, these four characters once uttered, the entire Upper Realm’s thirty-six hundred domains simultaneously trembled!

Who was Emperor Yu? From the beginning of this great era until now, he was the most likely to become the supreme being of all heavens!

Even now, although Emperor Yu had fallen for countless years, no one in this great era had been able to surpass him.

If one were to ponder, had Emperor Yu not perished in those days, it is quite possible that his status would mirror that of the Ice Emperor of the previous era, becoming the current leader of the Upper Realm!

It is known that in this great era, the paths of the mightiest had been severed, which is why, from the dawn of the Upper Realm until present, no supreme beings of the highest realm had emerged.

However, at the dawn of the ancient era, Emperor Yu sought to turn the impossible into the possible, even coming dangerously close to success, which already cemented his supreme status in this era!

Half-step Supreme, the best interpretation of Emperor Yu’s strength.

If Emperor Yu had not fallen back then, the status of the Human Clan would have been inconsequential now, as it would be the foremost of the Ten Thousand Tribes!

Even so, Emperor Yu created a miracle; with only half-step Supreme cultivation, he managed to refine the Dao weapon—the Nine Cauldrons—which only a Supreme being could forge!

Even to this day, the entire Upper Realm still reveres the legends of Emperor Yu, so well-known across the thirty-six hundred domains that he is an individual who should be forever remembered in the annals of the Upper Realm’s cultivation history, leaving behind a most remarkable legacy!

"If Emperor Yu were still here, the Holy Gate, and even those forbidden realms of life, would not dare be so rampant," a strong voice whispered, revealing the truth.

Not to mention the realms forbidden to life, the rise of the Holy Gate was after the fall of Emperor Yu, which led the mightiest ones to suspect an inseparable relationship between his death and the Holy Gate.

After all, had Emperor Yu been present, the Holy Gate would not have been able to cause such a huge upheaval in the Upper Realm and might even have been exterminated!

For these reasons, when Gu Chen’s identity as a descendant of Emperor Yu was revealed after he came from the Nine Provinces of the Lower Realm, it caused such a tremendous stir.

Even those mighty beings who could look down upon the Upper Realm were disturbed for a long time, their gazes fixating on the images presented by the Dao Gold List high above the sky.

"Is this young man really a descendant of Emperor Yu?" muttered a mighty being, gazing intently at Gu Chen in the image.

"A beginner at the Unity Realm, yet capable of suppressing a monster at the later stages of the Unity Realm. Truly extraordinary," another mighty being remarked, a mystical light flowing in their pupils as they discerned the true realms of Gu Chen and Gu Yan despite the insurmountable distance.

This was indeed astonishing, but such was the might of these powerful beings.

At that moment, many were looking expectantly at Situ Yin, the Dean of Qingyun Academy, wondering if he had been aware of this fact all along.

But to their disappointment, Dean Situ Yin’s expression was calm, revealing no emotions, making it impossible for those mighty ones to discern the truth.

Yet in truth, the heart of Qingyun Academy’s Dean was still profoundly shocked.

"Gu Bai is a descendant of Emperor Yu?" he silently mused. If so, then everything made sense.

"No wonder that young man took such interest in matters related to Emperor Yu," Dean Situ Yin reflected, his eyes fixed on Gu Chen’s figure.

One could say that Gu Chen had brought shock after shock to the Dean.

"Descendant of Emperor Yu..." His eyes were deep, not a hint of blame for Gu Chen choosing to conceal this fact.

After all, the implications of this matter were enormous. The death of Emperor Yu bore profound consequences, not to mention the Nine Cauldrons, lost for countless ages, were also suspected to be in Gu Chen’s possession. If the roles were reversed, Situ Yin would make the same choice.

Although he was the Dean of Qingyun Academy, he was ultimately a mighty one. If he desired something, there was nothing a junior like Gu Chen could do to resist. Such caution was warranted.

At this moment, aside from these mighty beings, the Pure Yang Martial Sect, the Infinite Dao Sect, Cloud Heaven Palace, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, Mount Tianzhu, and Buddhist Sects from the lower realms, were all somewhat dumbfounded.

"This lad actually made it to the Upper Realm?"

"How is that possible? He was never meant to appear here. How did he get to the Upper Realm?!"

"Severing the passage between heaven and earth, he wasn’t even a cultivator at that time, how did he ascend?"

For a time, countless questions surfaced in their minds, leaving them utterly perplexed.

Especially for sects like the Pure Yang Martial Sect and Burning Heaven Valley, which had grievances with Gu Chen, they were astounded to realize that Gu Jiuge and Gu Bai were one and the same person.

At the Xuan Yi Sect, the sect’s patriarch, the elder of the Medicine Valley Lu Qingfeng, as well as Ling Fei, Ke Lan, and Zhao Yi, among others, were also suddenly enlightened amidst their shock.

"No wonder when we first met him he was gravely injured; back then, he must have just arrived in the Upper Realm," Ling Fei thought to herself, suddenly realizing the truth.

"Turning the impossible into the possible, this youth actually made it to the Upper Realm," lamented influential figures from these factions.

Elsewhere, in Qingyun Academy, Bai Jingyuan and Su Nan were also flabbergasted. Unlike Zhen Yuan who had speculated Gu Chen’s true identity, they had been completely oblivious.

And surrounding them, people like Yan Qi and Ao Guang were even more confused. It wasn’t until later, when introduced by Bai Jingyuan and Su Nan, that they heard of Gu Chen’s exploits in the Lower Realm, causing their eyes to widen in amazement.

At the same time, they also recalled an event from many years ago, an incident that had once created a sensation across many domains of the Upper Realm.
