Upon hearing this, Yan Qi suddenly felt quite embarrassed and said, "Back then... I was just..."

He hemmed and hawed but couldn’t articulate any good reason.

"Just be grateful that Brother Gu didn’t take you seriously back then, otherwise your grave’s grass would be over ten feet tall by now," Wang Yuan laughed heartily.

Far away, Gu Chen had of course heard the conversation of Wang Yuan and others, but he didn’t pay much attention, merely smiling as he passed by.

All of these were matters from when he first arrived at Qingyun Academy.

Back then, he came for the second piece of the broken jade, and now, the ancient jade was nearing completion, with only the last piece missing.

...

Gray Domain, Han State.

After the passage of many years, Gu Chen returned to this place once again, and his expression inevitably became somewhat emotional.

Although the Gray Domain was quite distant from the East Profound Region, fortunately, there were inter-domain teleportation arrays; hence, it didn’t take Gu Chen too long to revisit this place.

The first time he came here, the pervasive cold winds of this place had made Gu Chen somewhat uncomfortable.

But now, during his second visit, these were merely harmless breezes to Gu Chen, feeling like a gentle spring breeze brushing against his face.

Gu Chen’s speed was incredibly fast; his teleportation ability, Hint of Heaven’s Distance, originated from Illusory Annihilation Traceless. With sufficient cultivation, he could shrink the distance of thousands of miles into a single step.

Soon, he arrived at the Frost Soul Sect and entered that vast glacier.

The Frost Soul Sect, once a colossal power in the Gray Domain and a residence of the mightiest, has now become akin to a sacred land with high status in Han State after their old ancestor’s passing.

Before coming here, Gu Chen had already informed Gu Qingyan in advance, and knowing he was to come, the Frost Soul Sect had received him with the highest honours.

The sect master of the Frost Soul Sect, Mu Han, accompanied by several elders, followed Gu Qingyan to welcome Gu Chen.

"Qinyan, I said there was no need for this," said Gu Chen, glancing at Gu Qingyan and cupping his fists, "Junior Gu Chen, greets Sect Master Mu."

"There’s no need for such courtesy, Young Master Gu. It was I who requested Qinyan to do so," said Sect Master Mu Han, whose gorgeous face rarely showed emotional fluctuations due to her cultivation method, but now she couldn’t help smiling at the sight of Gu Chen.

This made all the elders of the Frost Soul Sect feel surprised, as this was the first time they had seen their sect master smile.

Then, Mu Han informed Gu Chen that there was no need for him to refer to himself as a junior, as the sect master wished to be on equal terms with him.

But in fact, this was quite normal. After all, Gu Chen’s current identity was extraordinary: the champion of the Ten Thousand Tribes war, famous throughout the three thousand six hundred realms of the upper world. He had recently slain a mighty being, and for a time, his popularity was unmatched, with the people of the world hailing him as the number one prodigy of this era.

There are countless young people who view him as an idol, including many from the Frost Soul Sect.

And those disciples of the Frost Soul Sect who had explored Extreme Ice Island with him felt exceptionally fortunate. Seeing him again now, they were all incredibly excited.

People like Lu Mingyue and Mo Bai, Gu Chen saw them in the back of the crowd and nodded at them as a greeting.

Now, with Gu Chen’s fame and strength in the upper realms, he could certainly sit as an equal with the masters of any sacred land. Sect Master Mu Han dared not neglect him and received Gu Chen into the Frost Soul Sect with the highest honor.

Later, led by Gu Qingyan, he met his uncle and aunty with whom he had been separated for eleven long years.

Seeing Gu Chen again, Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge were overwhelmed with emotion, with the uncle nearly shedding tears.

As for Aunt Xu Qinge, she was already crying with joy.

"Uncle, Aunt, I’ve worried you," said Gu Chen, taking a deep breath. Even with his tough temperament, it took him significant effort to calm his emotions.

"It’s alright, as long as you are well," Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge repeated over and over, looking continously at Gu Chen’s face, as if they were facing a dream.

Because they had not seen him for such a long time.

Gu Qingyan, standing beside them, had her icy blue eyes turn slightly red.

As for Sect Master Mu Han and the others from the Frost Soul Sect, they had long since left the scene.

They certainly don’t belong here on this occasion, and they were aware of that.

Next, Gu Chen personally took action, grooming his uncle and aunt’s bodies, helping them to unblock their meridians and acupoints.

Uncle Gu Chengfeng was a martial artist in the lower realms, with certain skills; after coming to the upper realms, with the accumulation of time and the far superior environment of the upper realms, he naturally made great progress, surpassing the Innate Realm.

Of course, all this was thanks to the help of Gu Qingyan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such great advancements.

As for Aunt Xu Qinge, she had never practiced cultivation, but Gu Qingyan had often helped groom her body before.

Now, with Gu Chen, an Ascension Realm powerhouse, personally taking action, the benefits for uncle and aunt were undoubtedly immense.

In just an instant, the middle-aged faces of uncle and aunt were reshaped by time, returning to their youth.

With black hair at the temples and smooth complexions without a wrinkle, uncle and aunt looked like youngsters in their twenties with the help of Gu Chen.

Now, standing together as a family, they resembled siblings.

"This..."

Uncle was shocked; his feeling was the most direct. It was merely his nephew cleansing his body, yet his cultivation had reached the Celestial Realm without any hindrance!

He was incredibly astonished!

As for Aunt, she was stunned upon seeing her youthfully restored face in the mirror held up by Gu Qingyan.

"Big brother, this..." Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge, the husband and wife, were extremely astonished.

"Dad, Mom, big brother has changed a lot since the old times, all these are mere trifles for him," Gu Qingyan said with a sweet and charming smile.

Of course, the couple did not pay attention to the upper realms, hence they were unaware of the rumors about Gu Chen.

This, to some extent, spared them the worry for Gu Chen.

In the following days, Gu Chen stayed at the Frost Soul Sect for a few days, cleansing his uncle’s and aunt’s bodies every day, and helping them refine the power of holy medicine.

Without surprises, Uncle Gu Chengfeng reached the great completion of the Cave Heaven Realm, all thanks to Gu Chen!

Moreover, the number of heavenly veins born within his body was not few, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the more prominent figures.

Naturally, all of this was thanks to Gu Chen’s help. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

For Aunt, who was not versed in cultivation, Gu Chen dispersed those essences throughout Xu Qinge’s limbs and bones, ensuring that she will remain youthful and free of illness.

Both of them were satisfied with their respective paths and were extremely joyous.

"Hahaha, if I return to the Nine Provinces now, I could be considered an expert there!" Uncle Gu Chengfeng laughed heartily.

"Dad, if you go back to the Nine Provinces, you could be called the number one person in the world," Gu Qingyan also said, smiling.

The time they spent together was naturally harmonious, giving Gu Chen the feeling of truly returning to the Nine Provinces.

However, for some reason, he felt a crisis approaching, or rather, an approaching malice.

"Is the Great Epoch Catastrophe coming earlier than expected?" A sense of unease rose in Gu Chen’s heart.

He took advantage of the moment when Uncle Gu Chengfeng and Aunt Xu Qinge were not paying attention, looked towards Gu Qingyan, and asked, "The atmosphere in the Frost Soul Sect has been off recently, has something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan’s pretty face froze; she knew she couldn’t hide it from Gu Chen, and straightforwardly said, "It’s Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley."

"Oh?"

Hearing these two names, Gu Chen also recalled the situation when he first came to Han State. At that time, these two sects had severely injured Gu Qingyan, had wanted to make a move on uncle and aunt, and had chased him for a while.

"It seems that there’s no need for these two sects to exist anymore." Gu Chen thought, his eyes cold and harsh.
