Chapter 1328: Chapter 265: A Glimpse into the Mysterious World_2

The latter hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Young Master, was what you just unleashed... a fourth-grade divine ability?"

The moment Nine Heavens Thunder Movement appeared, it truly terrified him. As a monster from the previous grand era, Long Yi clearly understood what it meant for someone at the unity realm to master a fourth-grade divine ability.

Originally, seeing Gu Chen face the battle alone, he had some doubts and concerns, but when Nine Heavens Thunder Movement was revealed, Long Yi’s heart was filled with nothing but shock!

Although extremely curious, this was, after all, a matter of Gu Chen’s personal strength and privacy; that’s why Long Yi hesitated.

However, for Gu Chen, Long Yi was trustworthy, so he nodded and admitted it.

"Hiss!"

Seeing the person involved admit it, Long Yi couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath, shocked to the extreme!

"Young Master, this..." His voice trembled as he looked at Gu Chen with disbelief, never having imagined that the individual he was following was so outstanding, even surpassing the inheritors of Nine Heavens!

Yes, for someone at the unity realm to comprehend a fourth-grade divine ability was truly like a dream, giving Long Yi a sense of unreality.

If it weren’t for the fact laid out before his eyes, and something he had personally confirmed, Long Yi would not have believed it.

"Is he really comparable to the previous grand era’s Ice Emperor?!" Long Yi wondered with amazement in his heart.

Afterward, under Gu Chen’s lead, the two left the place and headed back to the City of Light.

Inside the city, in the base of the original Nine Heavens Palace, Gu Qingyan and the others saw that Gu Chen had returned safely, and finally, they could let go of the anxiety in their hearts.

This matter was very secretive, as Mo Ye and the others’ identities were somewhat unsavory, which was why he had originally proposed to carry out this proposal in secret.

Even the chosen location was the most remote of places, devoid of any living creatures.

Thus, this matter did not cause any commotion within the sacred realm.

Time passed quietly, moment by moment. The great monsters of notable ranks made their breakthroughs and once again began seclusion, entering their "rapid enhancement phase," and no one came to trouble Gu Chen again.

As for those below the heavenly realm, no one dared to, it would purely be seeking death.

During this time, Yun Zishu and the others began to assist Gu Chen in the sacred realm in searching for various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, to aid him in his later breakthrough to the heavenly realm.

Even though he had a 60,000-year-old and a 70,000-year-old sacred herb in his possession, they were simply not enough.

Long Yi was also preparing to enter seclusion. Before doing so, he informed Gu Chen of something.

"Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, it may be in one or two months’ time, or perhaps longer, but at the latest in half a year, the core territory of the sacred realm will open. At that point, the whole battle for supremacy among Ten Thousand Tribes will also reach its peak!" Long Yi said these words with an extremely grave expression.

The core territory of the sacred realm had opened in past battles for supremacy among Ten Thousand Tribes, but only partially. The truly central area was always never fully accessible.

There, lay the land with the most opportunities and fortunes within the entire sacred realm!

Indeed, the critical point, or rather, the source of the entire sacred realm—the starting point—had never been visited by anyone throughout the endless ages, across many grand eras.

The strongest beings from the upper realms suspected that the hope they deduced, or the path forward, lay there!

Thus, once those core areas opened up, the struggles within the sacred realm would also become fiercer.

Even the inheritors of Nine Heavens, who had not appeared before everyone from the beginning to the end, would no longer be able to maintain their transcendence and would successively enter the fray and participate in the battle.

Some people said this was the true battle for supremacy among Ten Thousand Tribes, and also why this battle for supremacy was considered different and most crucially, unparalleled in brilliance.

Even Gu Chen himself, after hearing Qingyun Academy’s Dean Situ Yin’s narration, was also very much looking forward to it!

"Perhaps, the opportunity for me to complete my spirit, energy, and mind and subsequently break through to the heavenly realm lies there!" Gu Chen’s expression was filled with excitement, and he had this kind of premonition!

Swiftly, time rushed on, and with the closure of the notable monsters, peace reigned within the sacred realm. The deaths of Lan Hua and Mo Ye did not cause too much turbulence.

Aside from Gu Chen and his associates, no one else was in the know.

Thus, as time passed, the opening of the core region of the Saint Realm drew ever closer.

Many cultivators in the Saint Realm felt a change; the world around them became increasingly extraordinary and a surge of energy was poised to erupt in secrecy.

During this time, after Gu Chen had acquired some merit points, he entered seclusion. Although he did not make a breakthrough with the Immortal Sacred Body, his spirit diagram did grow, advancing another level to the fourteenth.

"The spirit has grown, but not by much," Gu Chen whispered.

With the breakthrough of the spirit diagram, his spirit remained at nine feet and five inches, without the slightest change.

But Gu Chen could feel that the power of his spirit had indeed progressed and had become purer.

From this, one could see just how difficult it was to reach the first realm of the spirit, to complete the nascent state in the unity stage.

And then, on this day, amidst a calm, the Saint Realm finally met with a tremendous upheaval.

Boom!

It was as if thousands of volcanos erupted simultaneously, an unparalleled surge of energy burst forth from the deepest depths of the Saint Realm. This energy was omnipresent, and every cultivator in the Saint Realm felt it in their hearts, regardless of their location.

At the edge of the sky, blinding radiance flickered, waves of ancient and vast auras circulated, and a mysterious and hazy world was thus revealed to all beings.

At this moment, the Saint Realm boiled over, and the whole world trembled!

...

In the upper realms, three thousand six hundred domains.

In recent times, the strongest beings had also been keenly focused on the goings-on of the Saint Realm, as it related directly to their path forward!

At this moment, as they observed endless radiance twinkling on the Dao Gold List and noticed the anomaly in the Saint Realm, those supreme beings became rather excited.

"The ancient core of the world has finally opened!"

"The mysterious world will reveal a corner to us, allowing us to glimpse the truth!"

"Are those ancient tribes finally about to appear?"

Rumble!

Not only these supreme beings, but everywhere in the upper realms, powerful auras surged into the skies, and the three thousand six hundred domains seemed to experience an earthquake at that moment!

"Dao Lord!"

"Patriarch!"

"Palace Master!"

A series of auras capable of shattering starry seas skyrocketed, belonging to the rulers of the strongest forces in the upper realms. With the opening of the core of the Saint Realm, even they could not sit still and were compelled to explore!

For in the entire upper realms, they were the most anxious.

After all, looking across the three thousand six hundred domains, only these people had the qualifications and the hope to achieve the ultimate pinnacle across the heavens!

It was these very people whose paths had been cut off, with nowhere left to go.

They could no longer see the path to achieving the ultimate pinnacle across the heavens with this cycle’s inception!

Therefore, the significance of the opening of the most central part of the Saint Realm and even the origin lands in this battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes was paramount for these dominant rulers.

"Is our hope really there?!" In the depths of the unknown, a grand voice arose, transforming into ripples of Dao that disturbed heaven and earth!
