Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 551 - 356: Third Great Grandpa_2

"If it weren’t for Father stepping in this time, I’m afraid I would have come to an end in the Demon Realm. It’s been years since we last met, and I must say, Father’s power has truly opened my eyes!"

Gu Xiu’s expression was complex, and then he cautiously asked.

"May I ask, Father, have you already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm now?"

"Not quite... at most, it’s the Saint King level!"

Gu Qingfeng paused for a moment before adding another word.

"However, generally speaking, killing a Quasi Emperor should not be much of a problem!"

This sentence.

Left Gu Xiu even more astonished.

Not a Quasi Emperor, yet capable of killing one.

His own father’s strength is indeed unfathomable.

In these years within the Demon Realm, Gu Xiu thought his power had surged quickly enough, feeling that even in a direct confrontation with Gu Qingfeng, he would be able to narrow the gap between them somewhat.

But now, upon seeing it.

Gu Xiu realized he had been somewhat naive.

After so many years.

The gap between him and Gu Qingfeng not only hadn’t shrunk but had expanded to an insurmountable level.

At this moment.

The Divine Soul of the Emperor Extreme Great Saint also appeared; after many years, his Divine Soul is now more condensed than before, though not fully restored, it had become considerably stronger.

"The Emperor Extreme greets Mr. Gu!"

The Emperor Extreme Great Saint cupped his hands towards Gu Qingfeng, his expression becoming significantly more respectful.

In the Cultivation World, respect for strength is paramount.

The power Gu Qingfeng displayed made the Emperor Extreme Great Saint dare not have any hint of superiority.

If they hadn’t already been addressing each other as Taoist friends, the present Emperor Extreme Great Saint might have to change it to address Gu Qingfeng as a senior.

Nevertheless.

When the Emperor Extreme Great Saint spoke, his tone was cautious, afraid of offending Gu Qingfeng.

After all, with this person’s current strength, wanting to obliterate himself, in the eyes of the Emperor Extreme Great Saint, would be just a matter of lifting a hand.

"Emperor Extreme Taoist Friend, it’s been a long time!"

Gu Qingfeng also nodded slightly.

"In these years, Gu Xiu has been greatly cared for by the Taoist friend; I indeed owe you a debt of gratitude!"

At this point.

Gu Qingfeng suddenly flipped his palm, and a completely black lotus flower appeared abruptly, with an exotic fragrance wafting out. As soon as Gu Xiu and the Emperor Extreme Great Saint caught a whiff, they had the illusion of their Divine Souls being stabilized.

"This is... the Nine Netherworld Flower!!"

The Emperor Extreme Great Saint’s pupils shrank, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Nine Netherworld Flower!

Eighth-Tier Divine Medicine!

This is the supreme treasure capable of refining the Divine Soul and repairing the damages to the Divine Soul, having great effects even on Saint Realm powerhouses.

To be blunt.

This kind of Eighth-Tier Divine Medicine is extremely rare across the world.

The further advanced Ninth-Tier Divine Medicine and Tenth-Tier Divine Medicine relate to the Quasi Emperor and Great Emperor levels, which is beyond the reach of most cultivators.

In fact.

Not to mention the Ninth-Tier or Tenth-Tier Divine Medicines, even the Eighth-Tier Divine Medicines are exceedingly rare in the entire world.

Even during his peak, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint had never possessed an Eighth-Tier Divine Medicine.

Now.

Seeing the Nine Netherworld Flower appear, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint’s breath quickened slightly, with desire in his eyes, yet with a hint of hesitation.

He was well aware.

Now that Gu Qingfeng took out this Nine Netherworld Flower, it is likely intended for him.

But the Emperor Extreme Great Saint equally understood the rarity of such Divine Medicine, accepting it recklessly made him feel uneasy inside.

While the Emperor Extreme Great Saint struggled in his heart, Gu Qingfeng said: "This Nine Netherworld Flower was something I fortunately obtained when I entered the Tai Chu Ancient Land years ago.

I believe this Nine Netherworld Flower should suffice to mend your Divine Soul’s deficiencies!"

"Furthermore, there’s no need for you, Taoist friend, to refuse it. After all, Gu Xiu over these years has often been cared for by you; the Gu Family always owes you this favor!"

"Additionally... I have a bit of a selfish request, hoping that once you recover, you might join the Tribute Institute of the Divine Martial Dynasty, becoming a court Tribute!"

"Considering the current situation where the Evil Spirits in the Ancient Desolate World are rampant, not to mention the massive invasion of demons, the situation of the Human Clan is tense, and the Divine Martial Dynasty is yet young, with a shallow foundation. I hope you can understand this from that perspective!"

Reaching this point, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint naturally had no reason to refuse.

He took a deep breath and said while cupping his hands, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for the Divine Medicine. Once I’ve recovered, I shall definitely serve the Divine Martial Dynasty!"

Although the Emperor Extreme Great Saint had once founded a Holy Land, the Emperor Extreme Sacred Land had long since faded to nothing. To him, rebuilding the Holy Land was more like an optional ambition.

Since Gu Qingfeng brought out the Nine Netherworld Flower and spoke these words, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint felt it right to accept with peace of mind.

Moreover.

With a powerhouse like Gu Qingfeng presiding over the Divine Martial Dynasty, joining it might not be such a bad thing.

Considering all these reasons, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint straightforwardly agreed.

Right away.

Gu Qingfeng made arrangements, assigning a quiet residence for the Emperor Extreme Great Saint to retreat and heal, allowing him to refine the Nine Netherworld Flower well and recover from his injuries.

As for Gu Xiu, Gu Qingfeng intended for him to stay by his side.

"Ancestor, may I ask who this is?"

In the City Lord’s Hall, Gu Fengchen stared at the person before him, whose appearance was unfamiliar, yet the binding from his bloodline intuitively hinted to him that the person’s identity was anything but simple.

While Gu Fengchen was scrutinizing Gu Xiu, the latter was also evaluating the person in front of him.

He could see.

Gu Fengchen, though young, had already attained the Fifth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm in terms of cultivation.

At such an age and with such cultivation, it was quite impressive.

Gu Qingfeng said, "This is your third great grandfather, Gu Xiu!"

"Third great grandfather..."

Upon hearing Gu Xiu’s name, Gu Fengchen’s face froze momentarily, and then he quickly bowed in salute.

"Grandson greets the third great grandfather!!"

"Ahem... no need for formalities!"

Gu Xiu almost choked; he looked at Gu Fengchen, who seemed to be around the same age as himself, and the address of third great grandfather left him a bit unable to react initially. freёnovelkiss.com

Gu Xiu never expected that after leaving home for just a few decades, his seniority had climbed to such a high level.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Fengchen is the son of Gu Yunfeng, grandson of Gu Sheng’an, and great-grandson of Gu Yang. By seniority, he naturally should call you third great grandfather!"

This statement.

Let Gu Xiu fully understand Gu Fengchen’s background.

He also hadn’t expected that Gu Yang’s lineage had already flourished to such an extent.

But thinking about it, it seemed reasonable.

Given that he had been away from home for decades, having a great-grandchild seemed entirely plausible.

Subsequently.

Gu Xiu took out the inner core of the Erosion Moon Demon Monarch.

"I haven’t prepared any meeting gift, so this Demon Monarch’s inner core should be for you. Yet, with your current cultivation, to truly refine the inner core of the Demon Monarch, you need to take it step by step, do not rush.

Otherwise, it could be detrimental!"

"Grandson understands!"

Upon hearing the words "Demon Monarch’s inner core," Gu Fengchen’s eyes immediately lit up. He accepted the inner core without hesitation.

Meanwhile.

Gu Xiu’s status in his mind also soared rapidly.

This third great grandfather, able to possess the inner core of a Demon Monarch, must have unfathomable strength.

Gu Fengchen, for all this time, believed he had a sufficient understanding of his family, yet upon seeing Gu Xiu appear, he realized he still didn’t truly know much about his family.

A mysterious third great grandfather, a rarely seen second great grandfather, and the great grandfather who presides over the Divine Martial Dynasty, none of these three figures seemed to have simple strengths.

Watching Gu Fengchen accept the Demon Monarch’s inner core, Gu Xiu also smiled calmly.

After all, two people are connected by blood, and upon recognizing the family tie, he found Gu Fengchen near and dear, taking a posture somewhat of an elder looking at a younger generation.

If not so.

Gu Xiu wouldn’t have so readily taken out the Demon Monarch’s inner core as a meeting gift.

Considering that this level of inner core, even if Gu Xiu couldn’t use it now, once the suppression of the Heavenly Dao dissipates and the Great Struggle Prosperity Era arrives, he could rely on this Demon Monarch’s inner core to push for the Saint Realm.

Now gifting it to Gu Fengchen also spoke to Gu Xiu’s regard for him.
