Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Lin Bai? Undefeated across most of the East Province?" Hearing this, Gu Chen's expression slightly stirred.

In the thirteen provinces under Da Xia, the martial spirit of the East Province was considered extremely prevalent, and its overall strength also faintly surpassed the other provinces by a margin.

In the world of jianghu, some of the top forces in the East Province were also very strong, with even Transcendent beings among their ranks.

Being undefeated across most of the East Province without tasting a single defeat, this Lin Bai's strength could indeed be called extraordinary.

At this moment, the group of martial artists discussed further, "I've also heard that when Lin Bai made his debut, he challenged the major forces in the East Province one by one, defeating nearly all the martial arts grandmasters there, even beyond the top forces, almost sweeping through the first-rate forces in the East Province."

"Is he really that powerful?!" exclaimed one of the martial artists in shock.

"According to the rumors, Lin Bai has reached the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage and has even set foot into the Innate realm. With such strength, how can he not be mighty? How many grandmasters in the world could stand against him?"

"Really? Then Lin Bai must also be of considerable age, right?" asked another martial artist.

In their view, none of the young generation could achieve the Innate realm. After all, given the current state of the world in the nine provinces, reaching the Innate realm was no easy task, quite the contrary—it was very difficult.

Without decades of immersion in martial arts, it was simply impossible to achieve Innate status.

However, the martial artist who first spoke shook his head and said, "Not at all, Lin Bai isn't that old. It's said he is only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old."

"What?!"

Hearing this news, many martial artists were taken aback and said, "You're not fooling us, are you? A twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old at the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage, half a step into the Innate? Are you joking?"

It was no wonder they found it hard to believe; even Gu Chen, upon hearing this statement, couldn't help but frown, as it seemed a bit too preposterous.

Throughout the entire nine provinces, be it Da Xia or Da Yuan, and even within the jianghu of both nations, there had never appeared a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old who had achieved Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage.

Not to mention twenty-five or twenty-six, basically, every martial arts grandmaster currently at the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage was over thirty years old, most around forty.

Therefore, when they heard this news, they found it so unbelievable that they thought they were being deceived.

"Perhaps Lin Bai has the ability to maintain his youthful appearance due to his cultivation. It's not possible for someone so young to reach the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage. Even Gu Chen of Da Xia, renowned as a martial arts prodigy unseen for hundreds of years in the nine provinces, might not have achieved such feats at the age of twenty-five."

"Don't believe it? I'll tell you it's true. I personally witnessed Lin Bai defeating the old sect leader of Yuanhe Sect, a grandmaster at the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage, with a single move."

"Moreover, you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Do you know that the heirs from the six great holy lands who have descended from their mountains are also around twenty-five or twenty-six years old? It's said that they too have cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage."

Hearing this, Gu Chen's brows raised slightly, the heirs of the six great holy lands were indeed extraordinary, and the same was true for Lin Bai.

Some martial artists remained unconvinced and protested, "But you also said that's the six great holy lands. How can Lin Bai compare to the heirs of the six great holy lands? No one in this world could match them!"

"Do you think that with Lin Bai's such brazen behavior, he could still live safely to this day simply because his personal strength is strong? Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

I'll tell you he must also be the heir of a force, with a Transcendent martial grandmaster protecting him; otherwise, with him challenging each household like this, someone would have long since been unable to restrain themselves from making a move against him."

As soon as these words came out, many martial artists nodded, feeling the statement made sense.

"So, if you put it that way, in our entire East Province, there should be no one of the same age who can stand against this Lin Bai, right?" asked a martial artist, frowning.

At this moment, at a nearby table, a middle-aged man who had been silently listening put down his cup and spoke slowly, "You are all behind with the news. Not to mention those of the same age, even the most outstanding young talent of the top forces in the East Province is no match for Lin Bai!"

"What do you mean by that?" All the martial artists immediately turned their attention to the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man didn't keep them in suspense and spoke straightforwardly, "Three days ago, Lin Bai arrived at the gate of Tianyun Sect, one of the top forces in the East Province, and challenged Su Du, the most outstanding young talent of Tianyun Sect. In front of countless witnesses, Lin Bai defeated Su Du squarely, and soon the news will spread."

"Even Su Du was defeated?!"

Tianyun Sect, listed as one of the 'Seven Sects and Eight Factions' by Diancang Pavilion, was also among the top three in strength within the eight factions, and Su Du was Tianyun Sect's most talented and powerful martial prodigy, a thirty-three-year-old who had cultivated to Great Perfection of the Hundred Orifices Stage.

And yet, even so, being seven or eight years older than Lin Bai, Su Du was still defeated squarely by Lin Bai, which spoke volumes of Lin Bai's talent and strength.

In the jianghu of the East Province, there were eight top-tier forces, among which, apart from Tianyun Sect, there were Beidou Sect, Purple Extreme Sect, East Province's Merchant family, Bodhi Zen Sect, Shenxiao Sect, Qinglong Valley, and finally Zhenwu Gate.

These eight, among the many of the top-tier forces in the nine provinces, could all be said to stand at the very forefront.
