Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1561 - 392: The Liquidation Begins

"Eternal Imperial Court?" Gu Chen’s expression flickered as he glanced at Tianyuan Taoist and the others.

Surely, this was a name they had long since decided upon.

"Eternal Imperial Court." The headmaster of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, along with the three elders, Master Qin, Master Mu, and Master Gong, all murmured to themselves, reciting these four characters.

"Overwhelm the eternities, the master of the imperial court, what do you think, are you satisfied?" Tianyuan Taoist and the others looked towards Gu Chen with smiles, their eyes filled with anticipation.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Chen gave a slight nod: "It’s acceptable."

Eternal Imperial Court, the name was indeed not bad.

"Since that’s the case, let’s settle on this. From today onwards, we are the first group of people in the imperial court, who can also be called the founding elders." Tianyuan Taoist spoke with a beaming smile.

"We don’t want any positions that are too low." Ao Xuan of the true dragon lineage also spoke up with a smile.

"In that case, I shall also join as part of the first group." At this moment, Situ Yin, the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, suddenly said.

"The three of us old fellows feel the same." Master Qin and the other two elders added.

"Headmaster, and three seniors..." Gu Chen looked at them, hesitating somewhat.

Now, after the merging of Qingyun Palace and Qingyun Academy, even in the East Profound Region, their power was second only to Taoxu Road.

As the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin naturally knew what Gu Chen was concerned about. He said with a smile: "Don’t think too much, when the time comes, Qingyun Academy will also be directly integrated. After all, you are the future and hope of Azure Cloud Sky."

"That’s right." The three heads of Qingyun Palace, Master Qin, Master Mu, and Master Gong, nodded slightly.

"Isn’t this somewhat improper?" Gu Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly because he knew all too well that Qingyun Academy was the result of many years of Situ Yin’s heart and soul. The name "Qingyun" itself revealed the last thread of hope he placed in Azure Cloud Sky of the previous era.

If integrated, Qingyun Academy would also be removed from name; from then on, it would be unified under the Eternal Imperial Court.

"No matter. I’ve said it before, you are the future of Azure Cloud Sky. I’m not old yet, and I’m certainly not so conservative." Situ Yin said with a smile, showing no hint of regret.

"Have you decided where to establish the imperial court?" At this time, Master Qin asked.

Gu Chen nodded, saying, "I do have some ideas, but it still requires some time."

His original intention was to base the stronghold of his power on Origin Island. That’s right, the very Origin Island that opened up the myriad worlds.

Indeed, due to the essence of all worlds, Gu Chen had comprehended the Origin Stele and mastered the law likeness of the Origin Sea, forming a subtle connection with Origin Island in the process.

However, his cultivation was still lacking for the moment; thus, he couldn’t summon Origin Island to reside permanently in this world.

After some time, as Gu Chen’s cultivation grows, he will be able to take this step and implement his plan.

By then, all cultivators joining Origin Island will receive a tremendous opportunity.

When Gu Chen shared his thoughts with everyone, they were all taken aback.

Even Situ Yin, the headmaster considered an unparalleled individual within the realm of Inquirers, and the three powerful elders like Master Qin, were no exception.

"You can summon Origin Island?" Tianyuan Taoist exclaimed.

Luo Bing, Mu Tian, Warrior King, and Du E were all greatly astonished, and so were Ao Xuan and the other three major celestials.

"Not now, it will take some more time," Gu Chen said.

"Have you broken through to the realm of Inquirers?" At this point, the headmaster Situ Yin suddenly asked.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Gu Chen, their breathing becoming a bit rapid.

Being an Inquirer, in the higher realms where supreme beings rarely appear, denotes a pinnacle individual. Although the battle with the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan had already proven Gu Chen’s strength, there was still a significant difference between Primordial Realm and the realm of Inquirers.

"That’s correct." Gu Chen nodded; he had nothing to hide from these closest of people.

"Indeed." Situ Yin and the three elders nodded, their expressions complex and pensive.

Although they had already guessed, confirmation still sent a shockwave through their hearts.

"An Inquirer not yet fifty years old..." Master Gong was somewhat at a loss for words. Originally, his cultivation far exceeded Gu Chen’s. Now still in the Primordial Realm after such a lengthy seclusion, this junior had surpassed him.

Not just in strength, but also in cultivation.

"It seems that even I have been left far behind by you now," Headmaster Situ Yin said with a wry smile.

"But you will always be my seniors," Gu Chen declared earnestly.

"It was just a joke." The headmaster waved his hand and gestured for Gu Chen not to take it too seriously.

"So this is the realm of Inquirers?" Tianyuan Taoist and the others murmured, their faces full of shock.

You should know, during the battle for supremacy among the Ten Thousand Tribes, they were all more advanced than Gu Chen.

Now, not only have they been overtaken, but they’ve also fallen behind by such a large distance that they feel powerless to even attempt to catch up.

"Since coming out of the Holy Realm, even with my celestial bloodline, relentless cultivation, and various treasures to aid me, I’ve only just managed to reach the Great Perfection of the Ascend to Heaven Realm..." Ao Xuan murmured to himself, also a bit dazed.

Celestial bloodlines are said to be above all else in the world, their strength unparalleled, but he felt Gu Chen was a hundred, a thousand times more monstrous than him.

Phoenix Dance, Undying God Silkworm Can Miao, and Qi Dao of the Kirin Clan, the four major celestials, had no idea what to say.
