Chapter 1289: Chapter 244: Descendant of the Nine Heavens, Flower of Wonderful Law

"What did you say?" Long Yi of the Gemini Clan, upon hearing this, immediately had a startled expression on his face.

He had not expected Gu Chen to say such words, suggesting that he should follow him?

"How, you are unwilling?" Gu Chen asked, his expression calm and indifferent, his eyes deep, making it impossible to discern any emotions within his heart, giving off a sense of unfathomable depth.

In the valley, everyone had stopped what they were doing and stood in place, not daring to move an inch.

The reason being, Gu Chen’s strength was too astonishing, or rather, somewhat terrifying, causing tens of thousands of cultivators to feel dread, not daring to make the slightest move.

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Long Yi slightly furrowed his brows. He was the young master of the Gemini Clan, ranked in the top twenty among the heavens of the last grand epoch, a peerless genius, and currently the only member of the Gemini Clan, his bloodline extremely rare and precious.

Once the battle for supremacy amongst the Ten Thousand Tribes of the 3,600 domains ended, numerous major powers wanted to honor him as a guest of honor, hoping that the bloodline of the Gemini Clan could continue.

Moreover, Long Yi had his own pride deep within his heart. It was only because Gu Chen had demonstrated absolute strength today that he did not become enraged, which he would have felt as an insult if it had been someone else.

Yet, even so, given Long Yi’s background, he was extremely reluctant to follow Gu Chen.

"If I say no, will you kill me right here and now?" Long Yi asked.

"No," Gu Chen shook his head. Although he was merciless against his enemies, he held no great grievance with Long Yi and saw no need to ruthlessly eliminate everyone.

Hearing this, Long Yi let out a sigh of relief and felt a bit more relaxed in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Chen spoke again, adding, "Rest assured, if you are willing to follow me, I won’t treat you like a servant. I will give you a certain level of respect."

After all, no matter how one looked at it, Long Yi was a supreme genius, not one bit weaker than the chief direct disciples of the Nine Heavens Palace and the Ten Thousand Stars Palace. To make such a figure submit wholeheartedly, one must treat him with sincerity.

As for why Gu Chen wished to do this, it was because he realized that in this vast Heavenly realm, doing things alone sometimes really wasted time.

Such as gathering various pieces of information and heavenly materials and treasures, he indeed needed people to help.

Furthermore, Long Yi was extraordinarily talented and might become a significant aid to Gu Chen in the future.

Yes, Gu Chen was now considering the future; he had a faint premonition that perhaps it was time to establish a power of his own.

There were countless geniuses in the Heavenly realm, cultivating his own followers here would naturally be an excellent condition.

"Fine, I am willing," Long Yi deliberated for a long time before nodding, choosing to agree.

There was no helping it. The situation was more compelling than individual resistance now. Although Gu Chen had said he wouldn’t kill him if he refused, Long Yi still felt uncertain in his heart.

Furthermore, he could see the sincerity in Gu Chen’s words. Besides, with such strength, Gu Chen seemed to him to be on par with a descendant of the Nine Heavens, a figure worth following.

In this great epoch, with an uncertain future, Long Yi of course understood that by himself, he would be powerless to defy the heavens. By following such a figure, if they could ultimately gather many like-minded peers, they would undoubtedly occupy a place in the vast Upper World.

That was why Long Yi chose to agree.

"Very well," Gu Chen said upon seeing this, a smile also appearing on his handsome face, and he nodded slightly.

"Long Yi of the Gemini Clan has chosen to pledge his allegiance?!" The moment Long Yi nodded, the cultivators who had witnessed the scene in the valley also had a shock in their hearts.

As expected, this was likely the first supreme genius to choose to submit to someone else?

However, with Gu Chen’s strength, achieving this step was normal, and no one here dared say much else.

"What do you need me to do?" At this time, Long Yi asked, and stood very proactively behind Gu Chen.

"There is nothing needed; within this valley, there is nothing more of use to me. If you have any needs, just see to them. Normally, when there is nothing to do, I will not overly restrict your freedom," Gu Chen said.

"Okay," Long Yi, hearing this, nodded slightly, a glint of delight also flashing in his eyes; it seemed that he really had not chosen the wrong person to follow.

After everything was settled, Gu Chen then left the place with Long Yi.

The greatest opportunity of this location had already fallen into his hands; Gu Chen was preparing to return to the City of Light to enter seclusion.

On their way, Gu Chen and Long Yi conversed, deepening his understanding of the last great epoch and also obtained a key piece of information about the Heavenly realm.

"Are you saying that in three months, some of the treasure lands within the Heavenly realm will begin to open one after another?" Gu Chen said, his eyebrows lifting upon hearing the news.

"That’s right," Long Yi nodded, and continued, "At that time, those geniuses who are fully prepared will also choose to enter these treasure lands to breakthrough, shattering the cage of the Earth realm and ascending into the Heavenly realm."

He and Bu Feng also had this plan, which is why they were here.

"I see," Gu Chen nodded, this was a significant piece of news for him.

Within the Heavenly realm, some treasure lands contained vast opportunities, offering the best places for seclusion for supreme geniuses who had reached the pinnacle of the Unification realm to breakthrough.

The immortal-level Daoist lineages, the top ten clans from the previous epoch, the geniuses, and the descendants of the highest heavens, would all definitely not miss such an opportunity.
