"Two thousand three hundred years, late stage of Divine Communication?" Gu Chen's eyebrows raised, was the panel preparing to let him accumulate how many years' worth of power in the Divine Communication realm?
Such profound strength was already enough to suppress any individual within the Divine Communication realm, even if all the Divine Communicators in the entire Jiuzhou were brought before Gu Chen, they might still be unable to withstand it.
But still, this was not the limit for Gu Chen in the Divine Communication realm, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
"Could it be, they are preparing for me to directly suppress the Coagulation Field realm with my power?" Gu Chen pondered.
This was not impossible if he continued down this path, continuously accumulating power until he reached the great perfection of the Divine Communication realm, maybe with his own strength, he could challenge the peak martial experts of the Coagulation Field realm.
Of course, there was only a chance, after all, in the Coagulation Field realm one could solidify their own "Field," controlling the power of heaven and earth, extremely powerful, not something that could be suppressed by power alone.
At this stage, with Gu Chen's own power, he obviously could not contend with the great forces of the outside world.
Once the "Field" of the Coagulation Field realm was established, one could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, within their domain, they were like gods, and Gu Chen's current level of cultivation might not really be sufficient.
Of course, if it was just a newcomer to the Coagulation Field realm, then Gu Chen could still give it a try, in the initial stages of the domain's formation, not yet proficient, Gu Chen had a chance.
However, once one perfectly controlled the domain formed by the power of heaven and earth, it would be extremely difficult for Gu Chen to oppose it.
"Next, my primary goal is to perceive the power of heaven and earth and achieve the Coagulation Field," Gu Chen silently contemplated, setting a goal for his subsequent path.
As for the so-called holy land's decree of execution, Gu Chen never cared about it from the beginning, what's more, he had reached such a level of cultivation now, he had even less reason to pay attention.
No matter how many people the six holy lands sent, Gu Chen dared to kill as many, if one came, he would kill one, if two came, he would kill a pair.
He would kill until the holy lands were chilled, kill until all the holy lands were subdued by him!
As for the so-called talents from the upper realms, it was the same!
"Man-slaughterer, huh? Heh!" Gu Chen smiled faintly, closing his eyes that shone like two golden lamps, immersing himself in his cultivation.
With such overwhelming inner strength, if nurtured for a period of time, Gu Chen's physical body should still be able to advance a bit further.
At the current level of his realm, every small breakthrough was extremely important.
Great buildings rise from the flat ground, these words are not merely spoken in vain, and it's the same with martial arts, Gu Chen would not let go of any opportunity for improvement.
While Gu Chen was breaking through his cultivation in seclusion within the Jing Tian Department, a debate unfolded in the Golden Throne Hall of the Tiandu Imperial Palace because of him.
Ever since the holy land's decree of execution was proclaimed to the world, these days, every morning's court meeting was basically centered around Gu Chen.
Many ministers felt that it wasn't worth offending the six holy lands because of Gu Chen and that they should give up on him.
The strength of the six holy lands was clearly beyond what Da Xia could compare to at the moment.
At this moment, a third-ranked official stood in opposition to Gu Chen, casting verbal attacks, and this person was under the command of Minister of the War Department Chen Yuanli.
His stance was evidently also instructed by Chen Yuanli.
And Chen Yuanli was acting under the orders of King Huai, something that the new Emperor Ji Yuan knew all too well.
"That Gu Chen is just too reckless and young, barely in his twenties, and he's already been conferred a marquis and granted a fief. That alone would have been enough, but not long ago, he was even appointed as a border defense commander. A series of titles have been bestowed upon him, each one shocking enough to stir the world. Tell me, are these glories something that a young man in his early twenties can bear?"
The official under Chen Yuanli's command in the Golden Throne Hall was spitting with zeal and earnest, saying, "Gu Chen's reputation in the martial world is extremely poor, if you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. In the eyes of any martial artist, the two characters Gu Chen represent arrogance, conceit, and youthful folly to the extreme. It is precisely because of his arrogant nature that he has caused so much trouble, creating so many powerful enemies for Da Xia!"
"And all of this is due to Da Xia's excessive indulgence and protection of him!"
Hearing these words, Emperor Ji Yuan, sitting on the dragon throne, his face darkened, and said, "Are you accusing me with your remarks?"
"Dare not." Wu Fei shook his head, speaking with deep meaning, "I know that Your Majesty has been deceived by Gu Chen's smooth talk, but it's not too late to turn back. Right now, the entire world is full of discussions about Gu Chen, saying that it is due to Your Majesty's indulgence that the situation has escalated, infuriating the six holy lands. If Your Majesty does not make the right decision soon, I'm afraid the criticism from the people will continue to grow and may even intensify."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ji Yuan's face immediately turned extremely unpleasant.
He knew it must be King Huai fanning the flames behind the scenes for the situation to have developed to such an extent. Now, the people of Da Xia all believed that it was because of Gu Chen's arrogance and conceit that the six holy lands were provoked and wanted to destroy Da Xia.
And Gu Chen's backing was none other than the new Emperor Ji Yuan.
Therefore, by association, the people also harbored some dissatisfaction towards Ji Yuan.
However, Ji Yuan did not blame these ignorant people, for they were merely pawns in King Huai's scheme against Gu Chen and him.
