Sacred artifacts were of utmost importance. In other circumstances, the three of them might have considered breaking the agreement, flatly denying any such deal.

But now, under the watchful eyes of many, if they were to do so, it would truly disgrace the powers behind them, and they would be looked down upon by all the strongest beings.

"Damn it!"

Jin Xiao and his two companions clenched their teeth, and eventually they had to pinch their noses, forcibly suppressing their anger, trembling as they each took out their sacred artifacts with great reluctance and handed them over to Situ Yin, the dean of Qingyun Academy.

Especially the mighty one from Ten Thousand Stars Palace was furious to the extreme, clenching his fists tightly enough to crush his own teeth.

He was the most suffocated among them. Not only had his strongest disciple died making him the laughingstock of the world, but even the palace master had been alarmed, and he had also lost his own sacred artifact.

After this battle, Ten Thousand Stars Palace might become a joke in everyone’s leisurely conversations and he, upon returning to Ten Thousand Stars Palace, would inevitably be severely punished.

It could be said that among Qingyun Academy and the Golden Roc Clan, Ten Thousand Stars Palace was the one most deeply wounded.

As the three sacred artifacts flew over, the Dean of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, smiled, glanced at Jin Xiao’s group, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your generous donation."

Jin Xiao coldly said, "Situ Yin, you need not be arrogant. That Gu Chen is merely at the early stage of the Unity Realm. Once our clan’s prodigy steps into the Heavenly Realm, killing him will be as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"

The mighty one from Qingyun Academy also coldly said, "Exactly, once my academy’s prodigy steps into the Heavenly Realm, killing him will be as easy as crushing an ant."

Clearly, full mastery of the Unity Realm was still not enough to confront Gu Chen.

But once they broke through to the Heavenly Realm, it would be different. The gap between the Earth Realm and the Heavenly Realm was immense. Coupled with their status as top prodigies, if they couldn’t suppress Gu Chen, these prodigies might as well end their own lives.

At this moment, hearing these words, even the Dean of Qingyun Academy couldn’t help but frown slightly, clearly also somewhat worried about this scenario.

For a long time, in his eyes, Gu Chen’s weakest point had been his realm.

If the realms were equal, Situ Yin believed Gu Chen would fear no enemy!

With Jin Xiao’s group handing over their sacred artifacts, the dispute among the mightiest had come to an end, at least for now.

Gu Chen was unaware that, at this moment, in the three thousand six hundred domains of the upper world, his renown had reached an incredible peak — even surpassing the heirs of the immortal legacies and the top ten clans!

After all, his achievements were unprecedented, achieved by no one else!

Naturally, such fame was only to be expected.

But all this, Gu Chen knew nothing about as he was currently inventorying his spoils of war.

"This really is a treasure trove," Gu Chen mused, a glint of joy flickering in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, after killing Qi Ling, under the "kind-heartedness" of Gu Chen, everyone from Ten Thousand Stars Palace and even those from the Unrestrained Sect joined Qi Ling in death, to keep him company.

And of course, their storage artifacts naturally fell into Gu Chen’s possession.

Although the Unrestrained Sect was a hidden legacy, it was quite powerful and had many valuable treasures.

But even more so was Ten Thousand Stars Palace, particularly Qi Ling.

Over this period, aside from what Ten Thousand Stars Palace prepared for him, his disciples had also gathered numerous treasures to ensure his perfect breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm.

But now, all this merely served to benefit Gu Chen.

"With these treasures, my breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Unity Realm will definitely be smooth," Gu Chen murmured, a rich smile spreading across his face.

"Congratulations," a voice said at that moment. It was Xue Yu, graceful and striking, with her long crimson hair, arriving by Gu Chen’s side.

Even now, awe lingered in her beautiful eyes; clearly, today’s battle had left a significant impact on her.

Not just her, but also everyone in this city, thousands of cultivators, many looking feverishly at Gu Chen, clearly taking him as their goal, or even their idol.

He had created a legend, proving that even those not from an immortal lineage could surpass others.

This gave them hope!

"There’s nothing to congratulate," Gu Chen replied with a slight shake of his head upon hearing Xue Yu’s words.

Though Qi Ling was strong, in his eyes, he truly accounted for little.

What really concerned Gu Chen was those supreme heirs from the last epoch!

Of course, if they were of the same realm, Gu Chen also held absolute confidence in victory, but the opponent had been preparing for this life for so long, clearly aiming to break into the Heavenly Realm as quickly as possible.

At that time, once he, still in the Unity Realm, faced these individuals again, defeating them as easily as he had defeated Qi Ling today would hardly be possible.

Even for the heirs of other immortal legacies and the prodigies of the top ten clans, once they broke through to the Heavenly Realm, their power would dramatically increase.

Then, dealing with these individuals would naturally require much more effort.

"But I do hope, they break into the Heavenly Realm as quickly as possible!" Gu Chen’s gaze was profound as he stared into the distance.

Because, deep down, he didn’t really want to steamroll through everything without a challenge; that would be too boring.

The higher one ascends, the colder it gets. Now, he yearned for a worthy opponent to emerge.

But Xue Yu didn’t grasp his thoughts, giving a slight pause, but she said no more.

After all, Gu Chen had already proven his strength through his accomplishments.

"I might need to go into seclusion for a while," Gu Chen told Xue Yu.

"Okay," Xue Yu nodded, her typically independent demeanor now surprisingly docile.

But Gu Chen did not dwell on it, and immediately shooting into the sky, he vanished from everyone’s sight.

Once he reached a deserted area, Gu Chen’s figure flashed, and he disappeared, entering into the vast lands of the Cosmos Cauldron within the Heavenly Seed World.

Whoosh!

With the shimmer of light, a pile of heavenly and earthly treasures appeared before Gu Chen, all his spoils of war!

"Unity Realm Mid-Stage, break through!" Gu Chen’s eyes sparkled as he devoured each of the heavenly and earthly treasures floating before him.

Boom!

After some time, a loud boom resonated from the Cosmos Cauldron, a tremendous surge of energy skyrocketed as if capable of stirring storm clouds in the outside world!

The powerful aura surged like the vast ocean, its terrible might crashing down like wave upon wave. To have such cultivation in the Unity Realm was indeed terrifying!

"Unity Realm Mid-Stage, achieved!" At that moment, Gu Chen opened his eyes, his body radiantly luminous, his flesh holy and translucent, a confident smile on his lips.
