On the morning of the second day, Gu Chen woke up silently in a sleeping chamber.
At yesterday's banquet, everyone insisted that no one should use their cultivation to expel the effects of the alcohol. Knowing Gu Chen's deep cultivation, as the night wore on, everyone joined forces to ply him with drinks, but to no avail.
In the end, everyone had drunk too much, the women especially, their faces flushed and radiant, all except for Gu Chen, who remained unaffected.
Nevertheless, it was the first time he had truly relaxed and slept soundly in his history.
Now awake, Gu Chen could sense that many were still asleep. Though his heart was heavy with reluctance, he knew his path inevitably lay in the upper realm.
No matter how many thoughts tugged at him, he knew he must leave in the end.
Thus, with a flash, Gu Chen left without disturbing anyone, quietly leaving the imperial palace and even Tiandu.
"Upper realm, here I come!"
