Chapter 958

Since Gu Chen had been controlling the Star Core Flame and trying to control its energy, his control over the flame had been greatly enhanced, and the consumption of his mental strength had been greatly reduced.

Moreover, as his body constantly combusted and reconstructed, the tremendous origin energy in his body constantly merged with his limbs and bones. As a result, the power he could wield grew stronger, and his control over his body became more coordinated.

Although he still couldn't get started, he felt like he was only separated by a thin membrane. He only needed an opportunity to get started.

According to his current special situation, getting started might be a great achievement!

As for what the opportunity was, Gu Chen didn't know. Maybe he needed some luck or an epiphany.

His path of cultivation was to feel the stones to cross the river.

Standing up, Gu Chen put away the regret of not getting a breakthrough and put on a black robe.

He still had the ordinary appearance of Chen Gu, but he was tall and slender with a cold aura.

Opening the door, he said goodbye to the peace of the past few days and was ready to welcome the storm!

…

"While you were cultivating in seclusion for more than two months, the Old Man has become familiar with many cultivators in the Underworld and learned some information about the outside world."

On the huge square in the Underworld, many members were gathering, waiting to set off for the Divine Realm. Meanwhile, Gu Chen listened to Penglai Island Master's whisper, filling in the gaps in the information he didn't get in the last two months.

While Gu Chen cultivated in seclusion, Jiang Baiming spent his time making elixirs and making artifacts, preparing more trump cards for the others.

The white ape only knew how to eat and sleep, and the dragon horse wasn't reliable. Therefore, the only one who could act as a strategist and communicate with the outside world was Penglai Island Master.

In the last two months, he had devised strategies and done a lot of things.

"Since the end of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion Conference, Ancient Heaven has been unusually peaceful in the last few months. It barely responded to the attacks from the forces of the Divine Realm. The intelligence in the Underworld thinks that Ancient Heaven is afraid that it will be targeted because the Divine Realm Conference is about to begin, so it's no different from retreating from the world. "

"However, according to our own secret intelligence sources, the truth is exactly the opposite. This is just the calm before the storm!"

Penglai Island Master mentioned Ancient Heaven with a grim expression.

Under the leadership of Tang Ning, Ancient Heaven had decided to join forces with the Pure Spirit Kingdom to attack the Divine Realm Conference. Therefore, the calmer it had been over the past few months, the more meticulous their preparations were.

As the crowd listened, they could already smell the storm.

"Hai Dongqing has been very cooperative as per our agreement and has been providing us with information. Although the Pure Spirit Kingdom hid their specific plans very well, Hai Dongqing will tell us before the Ancient Heaven attacks and give us enough time to prepare. "

"Ancient Heaven aside, what about the Pure Spirit Kingdom?"

Gu Chen said in a low voice.

"The Pure Spirit Kingdom doesn't have any relevant information. They have always hidden themselves well," Penglai Island Master said with a bitter smile.

Gu Chen was not surprised by this situation and asked again. "What about the Inner Ape Clan?"

"The Inner Ape Clan has contacted them according to the original plan. They pretended to join forces with Ancient Heaven, but they will listen to you when the time comes," Penglai Island Master said.

The Inner Ape Clan had formed an alliance with Ancient Heaven, but the alliance should have collapsed after Gu Chen was stripped of his title as the Barren Heavenly General.

However, Gu Chen had contacted the Great Ape Immortal Master two months ago and told his plan to the Inner Ape Clan.

When the Inner Ape Clan learned that Gu Chen was going to sneak into the Divine Realm Conference to save his father, a dispute arose in the clan.

They thought that Gu Chen's courage was commendable, but it had nothing to do with them or their little ancestor. That was why someone suggested that they take the white ape back.

However, since Gu Chen and the white ape were connected by life and death, some people wanted to take Gu Chen back and imprison him as well.

In the end, the Elder Ape, the only sane one among the five ancestors, stood his ground and dissuaded them. He said that he would fully support Gu Chen's plan.

According to him, the Divine Realm Conference would involve many people. No matter what would happen, the Inner Ape Clan should at least be mentally prepared.

No matter what happened, it was better for them to be present than to wait for the final result without knowing anything.

Gu Chen was delighted that the Inner Ape Clan was willing to help him. With such a strong force, his chances of saving his father had increased.

Of course, the Elder Ape Clan had to consider the interests of their own clan. That was why they wouldn't enter a place like the Divine Realm where they didn't know the situation.

They chose to wait outside. If Gu Chen could successfully save his father, they would help him retreat.

If they wanted to wait, they had to have a good grasp of the timing. Therefore, after some discussion, the Inner Ape Clan decided to pretend to join forces with Ancient Heaven.

However, when Ancient Heaven attacked the Divine Realm, the Inner Ape Clan wouldn't provide any manpower. They would prioritize the interests of their clan.

The message that the Inner Ape Clan sent to Penglai Island Master made Gu Chen heave a sigh of relief. It seemed like everything was on track.

He knew that the Inner Ape Clan might not listen to him completely, but they were his most trustworthy allies right now!

"Is there any other important news?" Gu Chen organized his thoughts and asked.

"There is news that has nothing to do with our plan, but you should want to know," Penglai Island Master answered.

"What is it?"

"Two months ago, the Saintess of Kunlun, Ji Lanchu, had a breakthrough in her cultivation strength and was born on a green bull." Penglai Island Master smiled.

Kunlun was one of the top clans in the Divine Realm, and their Saintess was highly respected. Any news about her would be quickly spread to the Underworld.

Hearing this, Gu Chen's expression changed.

Lanchu!

He didn't expect Penglai Island Master to be so meticulous as to get the news about Lanchu for him.

He was almost sure that the Saintess of Kunlun was Lanchu. Not only because of the name, but also because of the green bull!

"Hehe, Second Brother, does it mean that we will have a chance to meet Sister-in-law in the meeting in the Divine Realm?" Jiang Baiming winked and smiled while the Dragon Horse smirked.

"Gu Chen, you have a sweetheart. I thought you didn't have emotions and were a cultivation maniac destined to become a monk."

Obviously, the others had heard the gossip about Gu Chen from Penglai Island Master.

"Squeak." The white ape looked confused. Since its memory hadn't recovered, it had forgotten about Ji Lanchu.

"It's easy to get information about Kunlun. If you want to meet her, the Old Man can arrange it for you," Penglai Island Master said.

"It's okay." Gu Chen shook his head.

His reaction surprised the others. He hadn't seen his sweetheart for more than ten years. Shouldn't Gu Chen want to see her?

"Second Brother, our plan is very dangerous. If you don't meet her, you may never see her again!"

Jiang Baiming said solemnly, thinking that Gu Chen was out of his mind.

"I don't want to meet her because I'm in danger," Gu Chen said with a heart of stone.

"Aren't you afraid that she will forget you? I heard that there are many geniuses in the meeting in the Divine Realm. If you don't show up, what if she falls in love with someone else? "

"The Saintess of Kunlun is highly respected. It's said that many geniuses from other forces want to pursue her through the meeting in the Divine Realm," the Dragon Horse said on purpose.

The Dragon Horse said deliberately to provoke him. It felt that Gu Chen was only pretending not to care.

"If she forgets me, then let her forget me."

Gu Chen's indifferent answer directly put an end to the conversation.

Everyone stopped talking about it. They knew that with Gu Chen's personality, he was probably prepared to die to save his father.
