Other cultivators at the Ascension Realm, noticing the situation, had also heard something and chose to stay far away from Lu Yu, fearing they might be affected by his mental instability.
Yes, even a half-step powerhouse was almost driven to the brink of mental breakdown by Gu Chen.
In the end, some well-acquainted with Lu Yu simply couldn't stand by and watch any longer, so they found him and sobered him up quite a bit.
"Gu Chen, you scoundrel, I shall never coexist with you!" Lu Yu roared in rage, and this is all he could do to vent his resentment.
But all of this, Gu Chen knew nothing about, nor did he care.
The half-step strong were not his goal; what Gu Chen truly aimed for were the mighty powerhouses, even those supreme across all heavens.
Therefore, he never considered Lu Yu an opponent.
In this way, Gu Chen sequestered himself in seclusion, and half a year swiftly went by.
