Chapter 1290: Chapter 244 Disciple of the Nine Heavens, The Flower of Wonderful Dharma_2

Since entering the Saint Realm, these people had been preparing, and in three months’ time, the final opportunity would be announced. It was immensely important to them.

"That’s my chance too," Gu Chen murmured, his eyes twinkling with a soft light.

Then, he turned to Long Yi and asked, "Will those inheritors of the Nine Heavens also choose to enter these treasures to break through?"

Upon hearing the words "inheritors of the Nine Heavens," Long Yi’s expression became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "They will!"

After a pause, he added, "The inheritors of the Nine Heavens, each with exceptional talent and incredibly powerful strength, are equal to the Nine Heavens of the previous era, the extensions of those few supreme beings of all the heavens, and cannot be measured by common sense. They have been sealed in this life, enduring an exceedingly long period of trials, their foundations and background tremendously profound!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen also became deeply interested in the so-called "inheritors of the Nine Heavens." Of course, if he were to consider it, he was actually one of them.

However, he belonged to this era, and compared with those eight figures sealed from the previous era, he obviously could not compare in terms of time.

"How strong are the inheritors of the Nine Heavens, exactly?" Gu Chen inquired with a hint of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Long Yi hesitated for a moment before simply saying two words, "Very strong."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "You don’t need to hold back, just speak freely."

Seeing this, Long Yi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said with utmost seriousness, "The inheritors of the Nine Heavens are incomparably powerful, unmatched within the entire Saint Realm, no other prodigy can compare, and it can even be said that no one can stand shoulder to shoulder with them, not even us cultivators from the same previous era!"

"Oh?" Gu Chen’s expression shifted slightly, not expecting Long Yi to hold the inheritors of the Nine Heavens in such high regard.

At this point, Long Yi gave Gu Chen a look and quickly said, "Of course, your talent and strength are also extremely remarkable, and if in the same realm, I believe you could definitely fight the inheritors of the Nine Heavens, even surpass them in terms of potential!"

What he meant was clear: Gu Chen’s realm was slightly weaker at the moment and could not rival the inheritors of the Nine Heavens.

After all, those eight individuals came from the previous era, and though sealed, they naturally had a vast advantage in time compared to Gu Chen.

That’s why Long Yi asserted that Gu Chen was not lacking in potential.

Then, Long Yi informed him that there were actually quite a few creatures from the previous era that had entered the Saint Realm. Aside from the most powerful inheritors of the Nine Heavens, there were also characters who should not be underestimated.

However, Long Yi also said that he believed Gu Chen had nothing to fear when facing those characters.

"It seems that the only ones who could really fight me are those eight," Gu Chen said to himself after hearing Long Yi’s account, feeling a surge of combativeness rising within him.

The stronger the inheritors of the Nine Heavens were, the more interested he naturally became.

After spending a little time, the two returned to the City of Light, where Gu Chen went to the stronghold of the previous Nine Heavens Hall in the city and decided to enter seclusion.

Before going into seclusion, Gu Chen instructed Long Yi to find more heavenly and earthly treasures during this time and also to inquire about the news of Gu Qingyan, Princess Xidie, and the others.

Moreover, during this period, he purposefully let the news of his killing Qi Ling and Bu Feng spread, in order to make a name for himself in the Saint Realm and to make it easier for Gu Qingyan and the others to find him.

In fact, as expected, the news about Qi Ling spread in just three days, and afterward, it swept through the Saint Realm like a storm, known by many cultivators and causing quite an uproar.

But Gu Chen did not care about these things because he had left them all for Long Yi to handle.

Having subordinates truly made a difference; many things became much more convenient.

During the three months that these treasures were opened, Gu Chen went to the continent transformed by the inner world’s cauldron and began his seclusion.

"I need even more resources than others to break the heavenly realm. While it’s beneficial that the Saint Realm treasures will open, they will hardly support my advancement," Gu Chen said, sitting cross-legged on the vast and ancient continent.

As he had said, breaking through to the heavenly realm was exceedingly difficult for him compared to anyone else.

Of course, he needed to first raise his cultivation to the peak of the Unity Realm before considering the breakthrough to the heavenly realm.

But collecting the heavenly and earthly treasures was something he had to do right away to avoid being unprepared when the time came.

"The inheritors of immortal-grade Dao lineages are indeed quite wealthy," Gu Chen said, waving his hand, causing numerous heavenly and earthly treasures to appear. All of these belonged to the Nine Heavens Hall.

Among them, there were also many weapons, which made the Vault of Heaven gloves deep in the flesh of his left hand quiver faintly.

This collection, even without counting the Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold and the primordial spirit oddities, far exceeded what he gained from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace last time.

After all, the Nine Heavens Hall had not been frugal in looting the cultivators of the City of Light.

"I wonder if these will be enough for me to break through to the later stages of the Unity Realm?" Gu Chen murmured.

"Eh?" But at that moment, his eyes caught a mysterious object amidst the numerous heavenly and earthly treasures in front of him—a divinely lustrous flower among the piles that nearly slipped by unnoticed.

"Is this... the Miaofa Flower?!" Gu Chen was slightly startled after observing the flower for a moment.

The Miaofa Flower, with the rarity of an innate spiritual object, could help one comprehend the Dao and the origins of heaven and earth!

For the prodigies and monsters of today’s Saint Realm, including the inheritors of the Nine Heavens, it was of utmost demand, extremely significant!

Because having this flower meant that one’s divine abilities could take a great leap forward, which was indeed crucial!

"The Miaofa Flower, even for me, could be considered a timely rain, possibly allowing my divine abilities to break through the fifth rank and reach the fourth," Gu Chen thought, his expression vibrating.

At this moment, the Miaofa Flower in front of him shone with dazzling light and vibrant colors, emanating a rich fragrance, and its petals were marked with intricate patterns that flickered with mystical light, subtly revealing the laws and secrets of the world and almost captivating those who beheld it.

"This single flower is almost equivalent to the sum of many heavenly and earthly treasures combined!" Gu Chen exclaimed with delight, not expecting such a find.

Surely, had Bu Feng been alive, losing the Miaofa Flower would have made him spew blood out of sheer fury.

"With three months’ time and a tenfold acceleration inside the cauldron, I certainly have ample time. Using these heavenly and earthly treasures, my strength will surely experience a meteoric rise," Gu Chen mused, gazing at the abundant treasures before him, his eyes reflecting brilliant beams of light.
