Chapter 542: The Truth of Jiuzhou, No Heritage

"The Truth of the Nine Provinces?" Gu Chen furrowed his brows, fixing his gaze on Chu Yue Ling's flawless visage.

Even though a thin veil obscured her features, she still exuded a soul-stirring beauty, which even Gu Chen could not ignore.

Fortunately, Gu Chen's resolve was firm, and he had cultivated his divine intent; his essence, energy, and spirit were unified in the Primordial state. Thus, even after long periods of face-to-face interaction with Chu Yue Ling, he would not "sink" into infatuation.

"The Nine Provinces are but a corner of the world," said Chu Yue Ling.

Gu Chen remained silent, simply gazing at her, eager to hear what came next.

"When I say a corner, I don't intend to belittle the Nine Provinces; it's simply the truth. There once were countless small worlds like the Nine Provinces, shining like stars, yet ultimately, they all could not escape a fate of destruction," the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, revealed a secret to Gu Chen.
