Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"The truth of the Nine Provinces?" Gu Chen furrowed his brows, gazing at Chu Yue Ling's flawless face.

Even though it was veiled by a thin gauze, she still exuded a breathtaking beauty that even Gu Chen could not ignore.

Fortunately, Gu Chen had a firm mind and had condensed his spirit, merging essence, spirit, and energy into one. Therefore, even though he was in close contact with Chu Yue Ling for a long time, he would not "fall" for her.

"The Nine Provinces is but a small part of the world," Chu Yue Ling said.

Gu Chen did not speak, only staring at her, wanting to know more.

"When I say a small part," Chu Yue Ling continued, "I am not belittling the Nine Provinces, but it is the truth. Worlds like the Nine Provinces, such small regions, used to be as numerous as the stars. Unfortunately, they all met the same fate of destruction." The Taoxu Road Saintess, Chu Yue Ling, revealed a secret to Gu Chen.

After a brief pause, she continued, "And all this is because of the demons or youkai!"

As soon as she said this, Gu Chen's sword-like brows tightened as he asked, "The youkai have destroyed countless worlds?"

"Indeed." Chu Yue Ling nodded gently, "Innumerable lives were lost because of the demons and youkai. One world after another was swallowed by them. There were heroes like you, Brother Gu, who wished to protect their homeland and fought to the death, but they all failed in the end."

"I see..." Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned serious. He hadn't expected that the youkai had caused the destruction of so many worlds. Countless worlds like the Nine Provinces had perished.

"Of course, the reason why Nine Provinces is such a small world is also because the laws of heaven and earth here are incomplete. Even without the youkai, it would still be the same, incomparable to the vast and boundless higher worlds." Chu Yue Ling added.

Her words were fair, although she told Gu Chen that Nine Provinces was just a small region, she did not mock it like other people from the higher worlds.

This was one of the important reasons why Gu Chen was willing to associate with her.

At this moment, the Taoxu Road Saintess looked at Gu Chen with clear eyes, her figure radiating a lustrous glow. She asked, "Brother Gu, do you know the origin of the Nine Provinces?"

"I do not," Gu Chen shook his head. Even though he mastered the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, it was difficult to deduce such a distant past.

Moreover, anything related to the past and future, as well as some secrets and any matters involving heavenly secrets, could lead to 'divine punishment,' and even highly likely damage Gu Chen's origin.

So, despite possessing the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, Gu Chen did not want to constantly deduce and observe the great trends of the world like the Tower Supervisor did.

Seeing him shake his head, Chu Yue Ling shared an even more shocking piece of information.

"The Nine Provinces was not a naturally derived world but was created by someone."

"What?!" Gu Chen's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. Although in Chu Yue Ling's words, the Nine Provinces was just a small world, creating such a world and evolving it to this extent required immense power.

This truly was beyond Gu Chen's imagination.

"Was it created by the supreme being who left the legacy in the Nine Provinces?" Gu Chen had a flash of insight and asked.

"Yes and no." Chu Yue Ling, with her picturesque brows, explained to Gu Chen, "The birth of the Nine Provinces was not personally devised by that supreme being. It was evolved from the legacy he left behind."

"The legacy evolved into a world?" Gu Chen was still deeply shocked after hearing this.

At the same time, he also began to understand why the Tower Supervisor once told him, "The emergence of the legacy will lead to the sinking of the Nine Provinces."

Now, everything was starting to make sense.

"So, this is the truth of the Nine Provinces?" Gu Chen asked the Taoxu Road Saintess, Chu Yue Ling.

"Indeed." Chu Yue Ling nodded, saying, "Because it evolved from a legacy, this world is actually incomplete. Although it is your homeland, Brother Gu, your achievements here will still be limited. The disappearance of the ancient times was also because those martial sects from the ancient times actually came from the higher worlds. They came to the Nine Provinces to establish their forces only in search of the legacy."

"Later, figures of the titan level from the higher worlds calculated that it was not the time for the legacy to emerge. At that time, no one knew that the Nine Provinces was formed from a legacy. Additionally, with the repulsion of the heavens and earth and the imminent closure of the passage to the higher worlds, the top sects of the ancient times left one after another, leaving only the six holy lands. This was to monitor the Nine Provinces and await the time for the legacy to emerge, and also to serve as coordinates for the higher worlds to locate it."

Gu Chen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "What about the primordial gods and devils, and the ancient era?"

"They were also people who descended from the higher worlds. Even martial arts were left behind by the powerful beings of the higher worlds, who pitied the Human Clan after seeing it emerge in the Nine Provinces, to ensure the Human Clan's survival." Chu Yue Ling gently parted her red lips, slowly revealing one secret after another.

"So it is..." Gu Chen's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected the so-called truth of the Nine Provinces to be like this.

It turned out that from beginning to end, it was all due to that unmatched legacy. Only the appearance of the youkai was an exception.

"What exactly did that supreme being leave behind?" Gu Chen inquired, something even the Tower Supervisor couldn't deduce with the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill.

But Gu Chen believed Chu Yue Ling knew because she came from Taoxu Road, where living supreme beings resided!
