54: Chapter 54 Like a God! Breaking Through to the Emperor Realm While Speaking?

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan was taking the Old Sacred Master up the mountain when he saw Li Shuangxu being dragged along by Gu Chen, and he hurriedly winked at him!

The meaning was clear: follow the Young Lord well, don't cause trouble, and try to please him!

"That is our master! You must not be negligent!"

Upon seeing his Sacred Master's expression, Li Shuangxu's mouth twitched, but he still nodded!

Only then was Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan relieved; he turned around and led the Old Sacred Master and several Elders to continue toward the back mountain!

Watching the receding figures of Gu Chen and Li Shuangxu, Huo Tianqing asked weakly, "Who is that young man?"

"The Young Lord of the Gu Family, Gu Chen," Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan replied respectfully.

Huo Tianqing nodded and sighed, "Heroes truly emerge from the youth! Let's go, let's go see the Gu Family Ancestor!"

Back mountain.

Gu Xuan swept his Divine Sense across and understood their thoughts.

The Genius Tournament in the Central Plains? Interesting.

He glanced at the task countdown on the System panel: three months.

It was neither long nor short.

Gu Chen's trip to the Central Plains would take at least a month or two for the round trip.

Even if he doesn't reach the Saint Realm after returning, he can be pushed up there using Spirit Treasures of Time and Magic Treasures of Space!

One day of Cultivation is worth several years for others!

Let him have a good experience during these three months!

Before long, footsteps approached.

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan led the Old Sacred Master and several Elders to the back mountain at last!

Huo Tianqing walked unsteadily.

He looked up at the figure in white on the reclining chair; although his aged eyes were dim, his heart was filled with shock!

It was not shock at Gu Xuan's cultivation, but rather that he couldn't see through him at all!

It was shock at that feeling, as if he wasn't facing a person, but an entire sky!

That feeling was simply indescribable!

"Junior Huo Tianqing pays respects to the Gu Family Ancestor!" Huo Tianqing bowed respectfully.

Gu Xuan glanced at him.

The soul-devouring powder poison had reached his bone marrow; he could last at most another half a year.

"Come here."

Huo Tianqing walked forward. Gu Xuan raised his hand casually, and a point of spiritual light from his fingertip merged into his brow.

Huo Tianqing's entire body shook. The eight hundred years of soul-devouring powder poison in his body melted away like ice and snow, dissipating in an instant!

His rotting wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

His complexion became rosy, and even his white hair turned black quite a bit!

Huo Tianqing was stunned!

Eight hundred years of seeking medical help and medicine, searching the entire Eastern Region, and no one could cure it!

The Gu Family Ancestor raised his hand, and it was cured?! This was too outrageous!

He was simply a god!

"Many thanks to the Old Ancestor for saving my life!" Huo Tianqing fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face!

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan and the several Elders knelt down as well, the sound of their kowtowing echoing all around!

Gu Xuan waved his hand: "Get up. The poison is cured, go back and rest well. Three months from now, I want to see that everyone from top to bottom has reached the Saint Realm. You, this Old Sacred Master, don't just sit idle either; break through when you should."

Huo Tianqing nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! This Junior will certainly not fail the Old Ancestor's expectations!"

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan helped the Old Sacred Master up, bowed deeply to Gu Xuan again, and led the people away.

Getting all the Disciples to break through to the Saint Realm in three months was a difficult task; he had to go back and guide them well!

Before leaving, Huo Tianqing looked back at the figure in white lying on the chair, with only one thought in his heart!

It is a great blessing for the Eastern Region to have the Gu Family!

At the foot of the back mountain, Gu Chen had already dragged Li Shuangxu to the plaza.

"Shuangxu, you said the Genius Tournament starts in a month?"

Li Shuangxu nodded: "It happens once every hundred years. If we miss this one, we have to wait another hundred years. The journey from the Eastern Region to the Central Plains takes at least a month."

Gu Chen became anxious upon hearing this: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's leave now!"

Gu Chen pulled Li Shuangxu: "Go, go, go! What are you still standing there for?"

Li Shuangxu hurriedly called for a stop: "Wait! Young Master Gu, do you know the cultivation threshold for the Genius Tournament in the Central Plains?"

"Threshold? What threshold?"

Li Shuangxu looked at him helplessly and said: "The minimum is the Sovereign Realm. You are currently at the Peak of the King Realm, a whole major Realm away. Even if you start secluded cultivation now, by the time you break through, the Genius Tournament will have long ended."

Gu Chen paused? The Sovereign Realm?

He looked down at his hands, then looked up at the sky.

"Is the Sovereign Realm very difficult?"

Li Shuangxu's mouth twitched: "What do you think? There are billions of Cultivators in the Eastern Region, and many are stuck at the Peak of the King Realm for their entire lives. Do you think breaking through is as easy as eating or drinking water?"

Gu Chen didn't speak.

He closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate.

The Hidden Dragon Sword Body hummed, the Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword trembled in his Dantian, and the Supreme Sword Dao True Dragon Emperor Art operated frantically!

Spiritual energy flowed through his Meridians like giant Dragons rushing toward that invisible barrier!

Boom!

The barrier of the Peak of the King Realm shattered!

Gu Chen opened his eyes, a flash of light in them: "I've broken through!"

Li Shuangxu stood frozen on the spot, his mouth agape!

What the hell? Bro! Broke through?

"You! What did you say?!"

"I said I broke through to the Sovereign Realm!" Gu Chen flexed his wrists.

"It's not that hard, is it?"

Li Shuangxu was completely dumbfounded!

He had Cultivated for decades just to break through to the fifth level of the King Realm!

He had already been called a once-in-a-century Genius by the Qingyun Holy Land!

Gu Chen was only in his twenties!

This talent was simply too terrifying!

If he were to break through to the Sovereign Realm, he would probably need to prepare for a while!

Now someone had asked him "Is the Sovereign Realm very difficult?" right in front of him, and then boom, he had broken through!

He really just broke through to the Sovereign Realm while chatting!

He didn't even take a Medicinal Pill, nor did he go into secluded cultivation!

He just stood in the plaza, facing the wind, and broke through!

"You! Are you even human?" Li Shuangxu's voice was bitter!

This guy is definitely a cheater!

Is this even fair? Just take this Realm for yourself!

Gu Chen patted his shoulder: "Let's go, don't waste time. By the way, call Brother Qingshan along too. What does it look like to always be serving tea and pouring water in front of the Old Ancestor? He should also go out and see the world."

Li Shuangxu hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the on-the-spot Breakthrough, and he was dragged off to find Gu Qingshan!

In the side hall, Gu Qingshan was squatting in front of the tea stove, focused on brewing tea.

When he heard they were going to the Central Plains to participate in the Genius Tournament, the fan in his hand dropped to the ground.

"Young Lord, are you joking? Me? With my cultivation at the third level of the Sovereign Realm, going to the Central Plains to participate in the Genius Tournament? If I go, I probably won't even pass the preliminary round!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here!" Gu Chen guaranteed, patting his chest.

Gu Qingshan looked at Li Shuangxu, and Li Shuangxu nodded silently; although he didn't want to admit it, Gu Chen was indeed a freak!

From King to Emperor, he broke through just like that, as easy as drinking water!

And this was really like drinking water!

He had never seen a Breakthrough as simple as drinking water!

"But Young Lord, I think serving tea and pouring water is safer!"

Gu Qingshan still wanted to refuse; after all, how could wandering outside compare to the comfort of staying by the Old Ancestor's side!

He had broken through to the Sovereign Realm even earlier than Gu Chen, although he still couldn't beat Gu Chen.

But that didn't affect the thrill of rapidly increasing his Realm!

"No! You must go! The Old Ancestor entrusted you to me." Gu Chen wouldn't give him a chance to refuse!

He had to go; they were good brothers, after all, and he had to bring him along for the good stuff!

But was this really a good thing?

Gu Qingshan still wanted to find another excuse, when suddenly a familiar voice came from the Void Realm: "Qingshan, go. Don't spend all day holed up in the back mountain serving tea and water; it's time to go out and see the world outside."

"The three of you, come to the back mountain." It was Gu Xuan's voice.

Gu Qingshan was stunned, swallowing all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The Old Ancestor had spoken, what else could he say? He had no choice but to go!
