"The monstrous demons have descended upon the Nine Provinces on a large scale, which is a catastrophe for the Nine Provinces, but for me, it might just be an opportunity," Gu Chen pondered, looking at the mastery points on the panel.

He had been in this world for two years and had experienced many things. Gu Chen had long since considered Da Xia his hometown and regarded Gu Chengfeng, Xu Qinge, and Gu Qingyan as his true family.

According to Xuan Yuan, in the near future, the Nine Provinces will face a great calamity with endless demons descending, turning the land into a purgatory.

"Since this calamity is inevitable, then I shall rise in the midst of this disaster to end it all!"

Gu Chen's eyes shone with determination. With the support of the panel, Gu Chen believed that what others couldn't do, he might very well be able to accomplish.

Because, the more demons there were, the faster his strength would grow!

If possible, when he first arrived in this world, Gu Chen also wished to live the life of a wealthy landlord; given the choice, who would want to fight for their life every day?

Just as Qin Wu had once said, he would not be jealous of how fast Gu Chen's strength improved; on the contrary, the stronger Gu Chen was, the happier he would be.

Now, the Emperor of Summer, the Tower Supervisor of Jing Tian Department, and the Tower Supervisor of Mingjing Department were all missing. In the beginning, Qin Wu was able to manage everything with his presence in Jing Tian Department.

However, as time went by, the increasing number of demons, the appearance of the Six Union God Sect, and the resistance of various martial arts factions slowly overwhelmed Qin Wu.

Today, the entire Da Xia relies on the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor as its guardian deity to protect Tiandu from invasion, while Qin Wu serves as the sharp knife and sword outside, deterring the world.

Qin Wu carries a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He hopes Gu Chen can step forward and become the new Deputy Commander of Jing Tian Department, even rise to be the Commander, to help Da Xia suppress the world and protect the people from the demons.

Gu Chen's mindset had changed a lot from when he first arrived in this world, especially after the battle in Yan State, where he witnessed countless deaths, which completely altered Gu Chen's mental outlook.

"This emergence of the ancient secret realm, I must break through to the Innate level within it. This is a rare opportunity!" Gu Chen's expression was resolute.

Through Xuan Yuan's description, Gu Chen had learned how important the Spiritual Realm was, and of course, Xuan Yuan did not tell Gu Chen some of the secrets of the Spiritual Realm. After all, Gu Chen had refused Xuan Yuan's request and did not choose to join the Six Great Holy Lands.

Even so, the fact that Xuan Yuan had revealed so much to him made Gu Chen feel somewhat grateful towards Xuan Yuan.

Gu Chen also understood that the reason why the successors of the Six Great Holy Lands had emerged at this time was because they harbored the same idea: to break through in the Spiritual Realm and advance to the Innate level.

In the current Nine Provinces, with scarce spiritual energy and broken rules, achieving the Innate level was extremely difficult. The youngest among the great martial arts masters in the Innate Realm were nearly fifty years old, even beyond fifty.

Even with the panel, for Gu Chen to break through to the Innate level was not easy. Even if he searched for demons all over the world every day, it would still take a very long time.

As Gu Chen had said, the emergence of the Spiritual Realm was indeed a huge opportunity for the Nine Provinces, one that no one would want to miss, himself included.

"Convert 200 years of cultivation," Gu Chen declared.

At that moment, as Gu Chen willed it, 200 mastery points instantly disappeared from the panel and transformed into a full 200 years of cultivation, infusing into Gu Chen's body.

The long-missed sensation of bodily fullness returned once again.

Whoosh—

Inside Gu Chen's body, the pale golden Great Sun Divine Gang, resembling molten lava, whirred into motion. His cultivation age leaped from an original 830 years to an astonishing 1,030 years, breaking through the significant milestone of a millennium.

Boom!

At the same moment that Gu Chen's cultivation reached 1,030 years, driven by this surge in energy, the blood inside his body started churning wildly. The ninth blood renewal, which was the final one in the Rebirth realm, officially began.

Splat!

Immediately, a large amount of old blood with impurities was expelled from Gu Chen's pores. The blood was dull in color with a tinge of black, lacking the vibrant hue it usually had.

As the old blood continued to leach out of his body, Gu Chen's physique became increasingly shriveled. His originally robust frame turned emaciated.

This blood renewal was even more ferocious than before; crackling sounds came incessantly from within Gu Chen's body—those were the noises of his bones splintering.

Upon internal inspection, Gu Chen could see that as the old blood flowed from his body, all the bones throughout his frame began to fissure. Fine cracks appeared on what were once bones as white as jade.

Not only that, but all of his internal organs—the viscera—were gradually withering, their essence slowly fading away.

On the outside, Gu Chen resembled a tree that had lost its life force; his skin was parched and crinkled with wrinkles. In an instant, Gu Chen appeared to have aged by decades, transitioning from the prime of life to the twilight years.
