The prince directly stated his intention to come. When Gu Chen heard this, his face was filled with astonishment.
"You said I received the Emperor's Favor?" he asked suspiciously.
"According to the selection results, this is indeed the case."
Shen Xudong confirmed this.
Gu Chen smiled, "May I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Shen, what are the rewards of this imperial favor?"
The prince was about to speak when Shen Xudong replied, "This is not the place to talk. Why don't we go back to Zhenwu Academy first and talk to you in detail?"
Gu Chen looked at Qinglin, the God of Killing, and Qinglin nodded. "That's fine. If you don't take it, it's free. We'll go back to the Tiangong later."
Gu Chen then called Bai Yuan back and followed the prince and others back to Zhenwu Academy.
The grand gathering between the two academies came to a dramatic end. The monks all over the mountains and plains witnessed the spectacle of the stars appearing in the daytime, watched a wonderful battle, and dispersed with relish.
They come from all over Kyushu, and with their departure, the word "Chen Gu" will spread at a speed that Gu Chen himself cannot imagine.
At the same time, the spectacle of the stars appearing during the day aroused discussions among countless people in the mainland, and various rumors spread.
What is certain is that in a few days, the name of Tianting Daozi Chen Gu will shock the entire continent!
…
"A royal ceremony to worship heaven?"
In a lobby of Zhenwu Academy, Gu Chen frowned when he heard the prince talking about the specific content of the emperor's reward.
He originally thought that the emperor's reward should be a reward of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but unexpectedly the prince said that the reward was to be eligible to participate in the upcoming royal ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
"On the ninth day of September next month, there will be a grand ceremony for our royal family to sacrifice to heaven. Brother Chen is qualified to participate in the feast of the disciples. This feast of the disciples is not simple. Brother Chen may not be aware of it, but Senior Qinglin must know something about it."
The prince smiled and looked at Qinglin Killing God.
"I didn't expect that it was a banquet for the princes, but the emperor's favor was quite generous. I understand, Chen Gu, just accept the wishes of the royal family of China."
Qinglin's murderous god's eyes showed deep contemplation.
Gu Chen didn't know the mystery behind the banquet, but he knew that Qinglin's God of Killing would not harm him, so he nodded. "Then thank you, Your Highness."
"Brother Chen, you're welcome. It's an honor for me to get to know the genius who caused the wonders of the sky. There are only about ten days left before the ceremony of worshiping the sky. Brother Chen and senior Qinglin, do you want to return to the imperial capital with me?"
The prince asked expectantly.
"I'm afraid not. Chen Gu has just been promoted to Daozi, and the Emperor of Heaven wants to see him. That's good. Then we can go to the Imperial Capital by ourselves."
Qinglin Killer God answered on behalf of Gu Chen.
"That's fine. If Brother Chen and Senior Qinglin arrive in the Imperial Capital, please inform me as soon as possible so that I can help them."
The prince was quite enthusiastic.
"His Royal Highness lives in the palace, so it may be inconvenient to receive him. If you two arrive in the imperial capital, you can come to my Shen Mansion to stay for a few days."
Shen Xudong spoke at this time.
Gu Chen's heart moved. If he lived in Shen Mansion, he would definitely have the opportunity to see his mother.
Suddenly, he yearned for this trip to the imperial capital.
After everyone chatted for a while, Gu Chen and Qinglin Killer God were about to leave, when Shen Xudong stopped Gu Chen.
"Chen Gu, I have a question and I want to ask you for advice. I wonder if we can chat alone?"
Gu Chen was surprised. What could this cheap grandpa have to talk to him about? Could it be that he had seen his true identity?
This is simply impossible.
He was curious about what the other party wanted to say, so he agreed, and Qinglin Killing God and the prince left first.
When there were only two people left in the room, Shen Xudong spoke with a serious expression.
"I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and I think I am well-informed. But when I saw the wonder of the stars in the daytime today, I was deeply shocked. After that, a question lingered in my mind, so I took the liberty to ask. "
"If you want to ask Master Shen, just ask him directly?" Gu Chen said calmly.
"According to outside rumors, you are the battle body of King Wu. Is this true?"
"Not bad." Gu Chen replied simply.
"That would be too weird."
Shen Xudong frowned.
"What's weird?"
"To be honest, I have read a lot of ancient books and have some understanding of King Wu's battle body. Your situation seems to be somewhat different from the description of King Wu's battle body in ancient books."
Gu Chen's heart trembled slightly. It seemed that Shen Xudong had doubts about his own physical condition, so he left him alone.
"Since it is stated in an ancient book, the authenticity cannot be tested. Maybe the book is wrong?"
Gu Chen answered calmly.
"This makes sense, but I once discovered a pattern when I was researching the geniuses who caused strange phenomena in the world during breakthroughs in history."
Shen Xudong's expression condensed.
"Oh, what's the pattern?"
"Prodigies who can cause visions in the world, they all have super-class physiques. King Wu's battle body is only a first-class physique, but it triggers visions that are even more terrifying than those of our ancestors. This makes me puzzled."
Ever since he saw the stars appear in the daytime, this question has been lingering in Shen Xudong's mind, and he confessed it frankly at this moment.
"So I'm wondering, Chen Gu, whether you have misunderstood your own physique. Maybe you are not the Great Martial King's battle physique, but have another mystery. After all, some physiques are not conspicuous until they grow to a certain level. Maybe yours is like this."
"If you have any questions about this matter, we can sit down and have a good chat. I may be able to help you solve the mystery."
Shen Xudong actually saw that Gu Chen was a super person, which made Gu Chen feel awe-inspiring. This grandpa was really knowledgeable.
It's a pity that Gu Chen already knew what his physique was like, how could it be exposed to him?
"Thank you, Master Shen, for your kindness. However, the junior's physique has been judged by the Emperor of Heaven himself, so it will definitely be correct. If Master Shen has nothing else to do, I will leave first and wait until I arrive in the imperial capital in a few days before visiting again. Your Majesty the State."
Although Gu Chen's words were polite, he firmly refused. Shen Xudong looked helpless, and it seemed that his doubts could not be solved.
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he left. After thinking for a while, after returning to the Heavenly Palace with Qinglin Killer God, he probably would not come to Zhenwu Academy again, so he thought about it and decided to say goodbye to a few friends.
He went to see Shi Jian, Mu Ziyu and others to thank him for their care during these days. He also went to find Demon King Sun Jinming to thank him for helping him today.
"You don't need to be polite to me, Old Sun. Instead of thanking me, why not have a fight with me?"
Sun Jinming was full of fighting spirit. The spectacle of stars appearing during the day had not faded yet, and he did not know how long it would last. This greatly stimulated him.
"Squeak!"
The white ape on Gu Chen's shoulder suddenly screamed in dissatisfaction, and Sun Jinming looked depressed.
"What's wrong with a fight? He has entered the king's realm, so he can't be bullied by a big one!"
Seeing the two monkeys bickering, Gu Chen laughed dumbly and replied, "Let's forget it for today. We will compete with Brother Sun another day."
"Brother Sun, before I leave, I actually have a question to ask you."
Gu Chen's expression became serious, "Brother Sun, can you tell me where the little guy came from?"
