Divine Island of the Gu Family.

“How time flies! You’re already seventeen and nearly at the age for your coming-of-age ceremony.”

Inside the palace.

Madam Gu* smiled warmly as she adjusted Gu Changsheng’s lapels and said, “You’re so outstanding that I fear no girl in the future will be able to match you.”

[*Gu Changsheng’s mother]

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxuan, standing nearby, hurriedly chimed in, “Madam, you don’t need to worry about that. I happen to know that the Divine Daughter from the Qin family seems to have a close relationship with the young master.”

Over the past few years, she had often seen maids from the Qin family delivering letters.

Whenever the young master had time, he would occasionally reply to one or two.

Though she couldn’t understand why they preferred using letters when sound-transmitting talismans existed, Su Xiaoxuan remained unchanged over these years, still appearing as a youthful, undeveloped girl, as if time had stopped for her.

“The Divine Daughter from the Qin family?” Madam Gu’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. Her greatest concern was that no woman in the world could catch her son’s attention.

No matter how exceptional he was, he was still her child, her flesh and blood!

The Qin family was a prestigious family with a legacy of immortality—a perfect match for their family.

Gu Changsheng smiled gently and said, “Mother, you need not worry about such things. The path of cultivation is long; when the time is right, someone fated to walk beside me will naturally appear.”

At present, within the Gu family, Gu Changsheng’s father had risen to the position of family patriarch thanks to Gu Changsheng’s accomplishments.

Of course, for Gu Tianlin and Madam Gu to produce such a monstrously talented son, their own cultivation and aptitude couldn’t possibly be lacking.

Back in their youth, both had been dazzling supreme talents of their generation.

“Changsheng is right. Why worry about this? Among the countless peerless women across the three thousand Dao Realms, there will surely be someone to his liking.”

As this voice sounded, a figure appeared.

His face was handsome and serene, his smile warm. Though his body emitted no discernible fluctuation of spiritual power, standing there, he seemed to transcend the shackles of time and space.

“Father,” Gu Changsheng greeted with a slight smile.

The newcomer was none other than Gu Tianlin, the current head of the Gu family and Gu Changsheng’s father.

His cultivation had reached the ninth stage of the Tribulation Realm, a quasi-supreme level, many years ago.

Now, he was even more unfathomable.

“You, always siding with Changsheng the moment you show up. I was just hoping to have a grandchild someday,” Madam Gu said, casting Gu Tianlin a sideways glance.

Her original intention had been to persuade Gu Changsheng to lower his standards, lest he struggle to find a suitable wife in the future.

This was because Gu Changsheng always gave her the impression of an otherworldly immortal, detached from worldly concerns, with an indifferent attitude toward everything.

The family had many outstanding young women, such as Gu Minghuang and Gu Yunqing, yet none had managed to catch Gu Changsheng’s eye.

Hearing this, Gu Tianlin was somewhat speechless. “Changsheng hasn’t even come of age yet, and you’re already talking about grandchildren. Back when we married, we were nearly three thousand years old…”

“You…” Madam Gu hadn’t expected her husband to reveal such a detail and retorted indignantly, “I’m just thinking about Changsheng’s future!”

Seeing the two about to bicker, Gu Changsheng smiled helplessly and interjected, “Father, was there something important you wanted to discuss today?”

“As expected, nothing escapes you.” Gu Tianlin shook his head. Having a son with such extraordinary talent put quite a bit of pressure on him as a father.

There was simply no hiding anything from him.

Noticing Gu Tianlin’s resigned expression, Gu Changsheng maintained his gentle smile. “Father, please speak.”

“It’s about the reclamation of the rebellious Chi Li Ancient Kingdom. The clan has been preparing to send a group of young clan members there, including five members of the top ten sequence.”

Without beating around the bush, Gu Tianlin explained directly.

After Gu Zhenxuan was crippled by Gu Changsheng, the clan had selected a new sequence member, whose strength was also among the best of their generation.

However, to Gu Changsheng, none of this mattered.

“Reclaiming the rebellious Chi Li Ancient Kingdom?”

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow slightly, puzzled.

The Chi Li Ancient Kingdom, if he remembered correctly, was merely one of the countless subordinate powers of the Gu family.

It had been established over fifty thousand years ago and had risen rapidly, annexing surrounding forces of varying sizes.

However, the strongest cultivators within the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom were only at the third or fourth stage of the Tribulation Realm at most.

The Tribulation Realm consists of nine stages, with each stage representing a vast difference in strength and opportunities for transformation.

The nine stages are: Void God, True God, Heavenly God, God King, Half-Saint, Saint, Half-Saint, Great Saint, and Quasi-Supreme.

The strongest cultivator in the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom was, at best, at the God King stage.

So why would the family pay so much attention to such a minor rebellion and even send so many young elites to deal with it?

Seeing the confusion in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, Gu Tianlin smiled faintly. “If the matter were solely about the rebellion of the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom, how could it possibly warrant such attention from the family? The real concern lies in the reason behind their rebellion.”

“And conveniently, this serves as an excellent training opportunity for the younger generation.”

That makes sense.

The mere Chi Li Ancient Kingdom would not dare to rebel against an immortal power without external support. Clearly, some force is backing it, a force unafraid of the Gu family.

The deeper purpose of these trials is surely a result of the elders’ careful planning.

Realizing this, Gu Changsheng nodded slightly. “Understood, Father. You want me to lead the younger generation of the Gu family to quell the rebellion of the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom, and uproot the force behind it as well?”

Gu Tianlin shook his head slightly and said, “Changsheng, don’t underestimate this trial. You might end up fishing out a big catch.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Nansheng Dao Realm, Tianqing Star.

The sky was dark, and travelers on the roads moved hastily.

Recently, there had been much discussion among cultivators in the ancient cities, and many forces were secretly keeping a close eye on developments. It felt as though the heavens over Tianqing Star were about to change.

“Have you heard? In Qingxuan Prefecture, the Huo Ling Clan of the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom has been subdued by a mysterious expert,” a young cultivator whispered in a tavern.

The Huo Ling Clan, as the imperial family of the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom, had ruled the nation for fifty thousand years!

“What? The Chi Li Ancient Kingdom? Isn’t that a subordinate force of the Gu family? Who would dare do such a thing?” Someone nearby widened their eyes in shock.

After all, in the Nansheng Dao Realms and the surrounding dozens of realms, the word of the Immortal Gu family was considered law.

No one dared to defy them!

“According to cultivators who witnessed the event, the mysterious expert was of immense size, as large as a mountain, and radiated an ancient golden glow. With a single move, they shattered countless mountain ranges. Most notably, there were five spinning star patterns on their forehead!”

“Gasp! That description—could it be one of the ancient God Clan that was exiled years ago? And a Five-Star Ancient God at that, with strength comparable to a Half-Saint!”

“The Ancient God Clan, huh? They were once a powerful group expelled by the Immortal Gu family for their rebellion. Each member of their clan is born as massive as a mountain and possesses the strength of the Unity Return Realm. When they reach the Tribulation Realm, a star condenses on their forehead,” an elder chimed in, sighing with emotion.

“A Five-Star Ancient God would correspond to the fifth stage of the Tribulation Realm!”

“No wonder! The Huo Ling Clan was originally a vassal of the Ancient God Clan. After the Ancient God Clan was expelled by the Immortal Gu family, they must have been unwilling to leave their ancestral lands behind.”

Tianqing Star—this was the ancestral planet of the Ancient God Clan.

The discussions continued, with many believing that major events were on the horizon.

The Ancient God Clan had once been one of the strongest subordinate powers of the Immortal Gu family, contributing significantly to their conquests and expansion.

However, a rebellion by the Ancient God Clan eighty thousand years ago nearly led to their annihilation!

The strongest members of the Ancient God Clan at the time—three Nine-Star Ancient Gods—were slain by the Gu family to serve as a warning to others.

A Nine-Star Ancient God possessed power comparable to a Quasi-Supreme, a level of strength that was unrivaled beneath the heavens unless a true Supreme appeared.

Capable of carrying stars on their backs and traversing starfields, they were the definition of invincible.

And yet, they were still slain by the Immortal Gu family.

According to cultivators who witnessed the battle, rivers of blood flowed like galaxies, nearly flooding several starfields.
