Chapter 1281: Chapter 239: The Monster Genius of the Last Era

City of Light, is a massive city within the Saint Realm.

The city walls are towering, ancient and aged; the city itself spans a vast area, dwarfing even Jitian City where Qingyun Academy is situated in the East Profound Region.

Compared to the obscure small city where Gu Chen had previously stayed, the City of Light was significantly more formidable, with the two places not even in the same league.

On this day, Gu Chen appeared here, arriving in the City of Light.

"This is the place," Gu Chen murmured as he gazed at the great city before him.

Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold as well as spirit soul treasures were rumored to have been discovered near the City of Light.

Leaving aside the spirit soul treasures for a moment, only in a world as extraordinary as the Saint Realm could Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold be born.

For the younger generation of cultivators, this was an extremely rare opportunity.

Because if such divine material as Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold were to appear in the outside world, the most powerful beings would intervene, since it is the main material used in forging divine weapons; young cultivators would have no chance to get involved.

Even a small piece would be considered immensely valuable. Whether it was for personal use or to be offered to the powerful figures within one’s clan, it could bring about tremendous benefits.

Therefore, once the news spread, albeit discreetly, it attracted a number of exceptional individuals to gather in the City of Light.

"Indeed, there are quite a few decent characters," Gu Chen stood outside the City of Light and, sensing the various auras within the city, he nodded slightly.

At this point, those who could garner his praise naturally would not be mediocre.

Among them, the most famous and powerful was naturally the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, named Bu Feng.

When Gu Chen heard that this chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace was here, his interest was piqued even more.

After all, He Lan from the same palace had left a deep impression on Gu Chen during the selection battle.

Apart from him, there was another outstanding figure that caught everyone’s attention and piqued Gu Chen’s curiosity.

This person was named Long Yi, who hailed from the previous grand era and, although not a descendant of the most supreme beings, had an extraordinary background and possessed immense and unique strength.

Long Yi came from the Gemini Clan, a race ranked within the top twenty of the previous grand era.

He was rumored to be a young lord of the Gemini Clan who had been sealed into this era at an immense price and the expenditure of the entire clan’s resources when the previous grand era came to an end.

The Gemini Clan was born with two heads and four arms, capable of splitting and merging their bodies, a truly wondrous sight.

This was precisely why the Gemini Clan was ranked among the top twenty races of the past era.

Do not underestimate merely being in the top twenty. It should be known that the previous era included figures like the Ice Emperor among the most supreme beings.

Therefore, the top twenty races of the previous era might not necessarily be weaker than the top ten races of the upper realms in this current era.

It was said that Long Yi of the Gemini Clan had once fought a covert battle with Bu Feng, the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace. Although neither party fought to the death, they exerted nearly all their strength. The confrontation ended in a draw, and for a long time, the victor remained undecided.

From this, it was clear that the strength of Long Yi from the Gemini Clan was not to be underestimated.

Subsequently, Gu Chen entered the City of Light, where there were evidently more cultivators gathered—hundreds of thousands, with a foot traffic far exceeding the unnamed small city he had stayed in before.

On the streets, people bustled in every direction, with the various buildings looking very ancient, some even somewhat dilapidated—testaments left by the passage of time.

"The architectural style is quite similar to that of the previous city," Gu Chen observed his surroundings; his arrival did not cause any substantial commotion.

After all, in recent times, many young cultivators had come here for various reasons.

While Gu Chen had slain Qi Ling days before and caused a significant stir, because he had been stationed in that small city, other cultivators were wary and daunted to spread the news.

They also feared that if they annoyed Gu Chen, he might kill them on the spot.

After all, the way Gu Chen had dealt with Qi Ling, the prime disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, had been witnessed by tens of thousands.

For this reason, within the Saint Realm, many were still unaware of the news of Qi Ling’s demise.

However, now that Gu Chen had left that city, the details were likely to spread.

Gu Chen looked around; there were many stalls here, displaying all sorts of heavenly materials and treasures.

Even a few stalls clearly marked prices and information about the Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold and spirit soul treasures.

Although Gu Chen had heard about the treasures from others, he did not know the details. After a few glances, he approached one of the stalls and made an inquiry.

"How does one purchase this information?" he asked the stall owner.

The owner of this stall was a young man with a somewhat shady appearance, a cold aura around him, with a thin and stingy face; he sat there, somewhat dismissive.

When the stall owner saw Gu Chen coming to inquire, he glanced at him nonchalantly and said, "If you want to know the details, you need a millennium-aged sacred herb."

"A millennium-aged sacred herb?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; the price was indeed steep.

"Can’t afford it? If you can’t, don’t come asking questions, wasting my time!" the shady young man said coldly, without a shred of cordiality.

Gu Chen frowned and then glanced at the other stalls. No one spoke, apparently having agreed on a price.
