This was the senior hierarchy of the Sanctuary.
An organization that had as many as twenty-seven of the strongest beings, each individual incredibly powerful, such a force could dominate unfettered in the Upper Realm, only an alliance of various forces could contend against them.
And yet, these were only the discovered ones, not the full extent of the Sanctuaryâs power!
Until now, no one really knew the true depths of the Sanctuary, people only knew that any single force in the Upper Realm, when isolated, would likely struggle against the Sanctuary, necessitating an alliance of the great forces to stand a chance.
Just the Holy Master alone could be considered an almost invincible entity in the Upper Realm, not to mention his nine Honorables and eighteen Sacred Envoys under his command.
It was precisely for this reason that the Sanctuary could invoke such fear in the Upper Realm.
Gu Chen, from this perspective, indeed matched the Sanctuaryâs profile, and many agreed with Gu Yanâs analysis in silence.
âI donât care where he comes from, this Gu Jiuge must die!â A Great Power from the Jiuying Clan, his expression cold, was practically gnashing his teeth.
To be able to infuriate a Great Power to such an extent was brag-worthy in itself.
At this moment, Gu Yan exchanged a glance with his royal uncle and nodded secretly.
Gu Chenâs true identity was something he could not reveal; otherwise, the Jiuding would attract countless competitors.
The present situation was just right for them; their alliance with the Jiuying Clan was more than sufficient to leave Gu Chen with no avenue of escape.
âHmph, what use is great strength?
In this vast and boundless Upper Realm, no matter how strong you are, what can you do?
Do you really think you can be invincible?â Gu Yan had a stream of darkness flowing in the depths of his eyes as he let out a snort in his heart.
It was apparent that Gu Yan was quite proud of his plans against Gu Chen, feeling that capturing Gu Chen would be easily achieved.
After all, if the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, with its power, could not capture a mere Cave Heaven Realm cultivator, they would become the laughingstock of the world.
At this very moment, Gu Yan was even contemplating how he would deal with Gu Chen once he was caught.
The Great Powers of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty were also pondering.
Based on the records in the secret realm, Gu Chenâs talent was far too terrifying.
If they didnât eliminate him now, he would surely become Gu Yanâs formidable enemy in the future.

Elsewhere, eight hundred miles from the light gate, the void was rippling, with a surge of spatial fluctuations, followed by two figures emerging, it was Gu Chen and Xia Huang.
Eight hundred miles was currently the limit for Gu Chen to manipulate the Yuding.
Without the Yuding, he would have been directly exposed to everyoneâs eyes, with no escape to heaven or entry to earth.
At that time, even with Gu Chenâs numerous methods, escaping from the presence of several Great Powers would have been utterly impossible.
After all, his cultivation level was still alarmingly low.
âSenior, the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan wonât let me go, we should part ways here,â Gu Chen said to Xia Huang with a grave voice upon arriving in the outer world.
He knew his predicament well and didnât want Xia Huang to take risks with him.
Alone, although dangerous, Gu Chen was confident that he could escape; if the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan thought they could easily crush him like a weak cultivator, they were gravely mistaken.
Seeing this, Xia Huang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, âYou are not Gu Jiuge.â
âHmm?â
Gu Chenâs expression froze upon hearing this, not expecting Xia Huang to utter such words.
âYou, like me, come from the lower realm, youâre Gu Chen, arenât you?â Xia Huang asked with a grave expression, waiting for his response.
âIndeed.â After a moment of stalemate, seeing he had already been recognized by the Emperor of Summer, Gu Chen simply nodded and acknowledged it directly.
After spending some time together, he also understood that the Emperor of Summer would definitely not reveal this message.
âAs expected!â Seeing Gu Chen nod, the Emperor of Summer immediately became somewhat excited, feeling a very close connection with someone from Jiuzhou in this vast upper realm.
âYuanâer, heâŠâ The Emperor of Summer became a bit short of breath, unable to resist asking about the situation in the Jiuzhou below.
Gu Chen, seeing this, showed his understanding and briefly described the Jiuzhou he had left with a few words.
âYuanâer has grown up.â The Emperor of Summer nodded in relief, his tiger-like eyes slightly reddened.
As for the death of King Huai, the Emperor of Summer did not blame Gu Chen at all.
âXuanjing, he ultimately chose the wrong path,â the Emperor of Summer sighed softly, his expression somewhat melancholic.
âSenior, there is a letter I need you to help me with, to send to Han State,â Gu Chen interrupted the Emperor of Summerâs contemplation at this point.
âA letter?â The Emperor of Summer was momentarily stunned but still subconsciously took the letter Gu Chen passed to him.
âIs this for your sister?â The Emperor of Summer guessed the key point.
âIndeed,â Gu Chen nodded.
The Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan would definitely not let him go, and it was very possible that they would spread the news to lure Gu Qingyan here.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening and to keep his uncleâs family from worrying, Gu Chen wrote a letter, entrusting the Emperor of Summer to deliver it to the Frost Soul Sect.
âSenior, being with me, you may very likely be implicated.
Once you reach Han State, with this letter, the Frost Soul Sect will protect you,â Gu Chen said gravely.
âIt doesnât matter to me,â the Emperor of Summer shook his head and added, âBut I will definitely deliver the letter, and you also must be careful!â
âRest assured,â Gu Chen nodded.
The Emperor of Summer, understanding the urgency, didnât say more.
Seeing that Gu Chen had finished his instructions, he turned and left, heading for Han State.
After the Emperor of Summer left, Gu Chenâs eyes immediately turned cold.
He took out the Yu Ding and muttered to himself, âDonât force me, if you push me to my limits, Iâll send all of you on your way!â
Inside the great cauldron, an extremely dense Source Ice Breath gathered like a nebula, slowly rotating.
This was an extremely terrifying force that, if completely unleashed, would make the Great Powers, and even the Holy Masters, feel apprehensive!
Meanwhile, because Gu Chen had not been found until the close of the secret realm, the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan, facing the entire Gray Domain, united to issue a warrant for Gu Chen!
The various accomplishments of Gu Chen in the secret realm also spread throughout the entire Gray Domain as this event unfolded.
Suddenly, the Gray Domain was shaken intensely, experiencing a significant quake.
The name Gu Jiuge nearly reached every corner of the Gray Domain.
Everyone knew who stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation in the Gray Domain!
The unrivaled achievements within the secret realm caused a widespread shock and admiration among countless people throughout the Gray Domain.
The vast majority agreed that Gu Jiuge truly belonged to the legends of the Gray Domain!
For countless years, the Gray Domain had not seen such a world-shocking figure arise.
Even the fact that Gu Chen was of the Holy Sect was overlooked by many due to his incredibly stunning achievements.
It could be said that now âWho in the world does not know the gentleman?â was not just a jest, but had become reality!
No one expected Gu Chenâs fame to soar so drastically, not even the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan!
