"Sword Monarch Palace?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

To be honest, had Qingyun Palace and Long Yi not mentioned it, this matter would have nearly slipped Gu Chen’s mind.

The main reason being, whether it was Jian Jiu or that middle-aged man, none were regarded as opponents by Gu Chen, so naturally, he wouldn’t dwell on them.

An elder from Qingyun Palace nodded and said, "That demon Chen Jue from Sword Monarch Palace has left seclusion, widely publicizing your feud with the palace, and has issued a challenge, wanting to battle with you."

At this moment, Ren Fei spoke up, asking, "Is it the very Chen Jue who underwent a rebirth at the divine Phoenix ancient nest?"

"Indeed." The elder from Qingyun Palace nodded.

"This is going to be troublesome." Once confirmed, Ren Fei’s brows immediately furrowed.

"Is this Chen Jue very strong?" Long Yi asked with some curiosity.

As soon as these words were spoken, they also drew the attention of Gu Qingyan and the other three.

Upon hearing this, Ren Fei said in a grave voice, "Very strong. It’s said that he is the strongest prodigy of Sword Monarch Palace, sealed and preserved by that Supreme Sword Monarch of all the heavens for this very era. Among the younger generation of this great era, he is the leader of the Sword Path, unrivaled by anyone!"

At this, he glanced at Long Yi and added, "Even the most outstanding prodigy of the top ten races from the previous great era, the Nine-Leaved Sword Vine Clan, can hardly compare with Chen Jue in the realm of swordsmanship. In this respect, he could be said to be peerless under the heavens!"

Then, the Qingyun Palace elder added, "Moreover, after the rebirth in the divine Phoenix ancient nest, Chen Jue’s cultivation level has presumably broken through to the mid-phase of the Feather Transformation Realm, progressing towards the later phase."

Immediately upon hearing this news, Ren Fei’s expression grew even more serious.

The early phase of the Feather Transformation Realm and the mid-phase may seem like just a small gap, but for a supreme demon-like Chen Jue, the advancement is definitely significant!

Among those outside, even the late-phase Great Powers of the Feather Transformation Realm would not be his match.

Ren Fei glanced at Gu Chen, realizing that Brother Gu too had gained significantly from the true dragon’s lair. However, he was still puzzled as to why Gu Chen had not yet made the breakthrough to the Heaven Realm?

"This..." Long Yi looked over at Gu Chen, momentarily hesitant.

"Brother, there’s really no need to bother with him." At that moment, Gu Qingyan spoke up, not wanting Gu Chen to fight with Chen Jue.

"That’s right, Brother Gu, you should just focus on your cultivation," Yun Zishu and Zhen Yuan nodded in agreement.

Ren Fei took a deep breath and said, "I was thinking the same. Brother Gu, the most pressing matter for you now should be to break through to the Heaven Realm, which would settle the grand scheme."

Clearly, he too believed that with the potential and strength Gu Chen had displayed in the Earth Realm, once he made a breakthrough to the Heaven Realm, he would surely be invincible.

Gu Chen did not speak, instead lost in thought.

He had now reached the great perfection of the Unity Realm, and both his physical body and spiritual soul had touched a limit, just one step away from a breakthrough.

However, that one step was not so easy to take.

After all, since ancient times, there had been no cultivator able to reach the physical body’s nine transformations and a complete initial state of the spiritual soul in the Unity Realm.

Therefore, for Gu Chen to break through this shackle was extremely difficult.

"Does Sword Monarch Palace possess divine medicines?" He then asked, looking towards Ren Fei.

Ren Fei was taken aback, completely unexpected that Gu Chen would ask such a question.

However, he quickly understood and shook his head, responding, "Divine medicines are extremely rare even in the Holy Realm. It’s unlikely that Sword Monarch Palace has them, but there might be demigod medicines."

With that, he glanced at Gu Chen, and vaguely, he seemed to guess what the young man was thinking.

He was shocked and hastily said, "Brother Gu, aren’t your thoughts a bit too wild? Sword Monarch Palace is not an easy target!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yi and the others were still somewhat confused, looking at the two and not understanding their meaning.

Gu Chen looked at Ren Fei with a calm demeanor and said, "Fortune favours the bold, especially here in the Holy Realm!"

Ren Fei, of course, understood Gu Chen’s meaning; with the ceiling of the Holy Realm limiting power, the strongest being only half a step above the giants. Hence, he had this thought.

"Big Brother, what are you two talking about?" Gu Qingyan interjected, both she and Long Yi were somewhat at a loss.

Ren Fei glanced at them and said gravely, "Brother Gu is thinking of wiping out Sword Monarch Palace in a single battle!"

"What?!" As these words came out, Long Yi and the others were immediately shocked.

Having been in the core realms of the Holy Realm for a while, they were of course aware of Sword Monarch Palace’s general strength.

Not to mention, in a certain sense, Sword Monarch Palace could even be considered a supreme lineage. In the outside world, it would be exalted, standing aloof from the world. Places like the Nine Heavens Hall, Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and the previous major races were all insignificant in comparison.

Even the Qingyun Palace elder paled, secretly thinking Gu Chen was far too daring.

"I still do not endorse Brother Gu doing this," Ren Fei shook his head, feeling it was too risky.

Gu Chen said, "Brother Ren, after years of accumulation, doesn’t Qingyun Palace covet what Sword Monarch Palace has?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Fei started, indeed, with the Holy Realm’s imminent decay, when the time came to ascend to the higher realms, Qingyun Palace’s strength was certainly not enough. The three palace lords were fully stockpiling their base, aiming to break through and become the strongest as the countdown for the Holy Realm’s destruction began.

By then, even if they went to the higher realms, they would at least have a footing.

"This..." Ren Fei was still hesitant.

Gu Chen continued, "This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Otherwise, when the Holy Realm perishes and we go to the higher realms, Sword Monarch Palace’s strength will burgeon, and they will be much more difficult to deal with."
