1432 Words
Three years had passed in the blink of an eye.
News about Gu Xiaoyao still circulated throughout the entire Gu family.
Everyone knew that when Gu Xiaoyao was born, it had stirred the attention of the eighteen ancestors, who bestowed upon him the identity of a divine child.
As for his identity as the Zero Sequence, it hadn't spread, thanks to Gu Zhantian's deliberate restrictions.
Because Gu Zhantian is planning to invite all the immortal forces in the Ancient Immortal Realm when Gu Xiaoyao holds a tenth-year-old banquet, and will announce the identity of Gu Xiaoyao's zero sequence at that time.
This move was aimed at establishing Gu Xiaoyao's reputation. And this could also give Gu Xiaoyao the opportunity to grow up in peace for ten years.
However, if other sequences in the Gu family were dissatisfied, Gu Xiaoyao would have to handle it himself.
Gu Xiaoyao didn't mind, though, he had confidence in his own talents.
Ten years are enough.
"In cultivation, after reaching the Five Realms of the Physical Realm, one enters the Five Realms of Qi (note: Qi refers to the life energy flowing inside and outside the body) Realm, which correspond to the qi of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, respectively, corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"Once the Five Realms of Qi are perfected, one can gather the Spirit Sea, condense the Divine Palace, and transform into a true spirit."
Within a hall of the Palace of the Heavenly Emperor, Gu Zhantian was explaining cultivation to Gu Xiaoyao.
During those three years, Gu Xiaoyao had been consolidating his own realm.
Every day, various holy medicines and divine pills were placed in front of Gu Xiaoyao like cabbages.
The cultivation of the Ancient Immortal Holy Body consumed the most resources.
But the Gu Family happened to be an ancient family and could indeed afford Gu Xiaoyao's resource consumption.
After three years of accumulation, Gu Xiaoyao felt that he could break through to the next realm at any time.
"Grandfather, how long does it generally take to break through the Five Realms of Qi?" Gu Xiaoyao asked.
Gu Zhantian pondered and said, "For ordinary geniuses, it may take about five years; for extraordinary ones, it might take two to three years. But you possess the Ancient Immortal Holy Body, unparalleled in physical strength, so perhaps one or two years would be enough."
"One or two years?" Gu Xiaoyao pondered silently.
After being guided on the path of cultivation, Gu Xiaoyao began to focus on cultivation.
He practiced the supreme technique of the Gu Family, the Tai Xuan Taoist scriptures.
Taoist Scripture could be cultivated all the way to the supreme realm and was one of the top techniques of the Gu Family.
However, as long as Gu Xiaoyao wished for it, he could obtain any resources or techniques.
Rumble...
Within Gu Xiaoyao's body, it felt like divine thunder was roaring, with golden qi and blood overflowing throughout his body.
The accumulation of these three years erupted at this moment.
If you look inside at this moment, you can see that Gu Xiaoyao's heart is shining brightly, as if a portal is about to open.
"This... can't be..." Gu Zhantian beside him was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had just finished explaining, and now his own grandson was about to break through?
However, just when Gu Zhantian was shocked.
Within Gu Xiaoyao's heart, it seemed as if a gate was being shattered.
Boom!
Gu Xiaoyao only felt his physical body strengthen several times over, with endless golden qi and blood surging. His power instantly skyrocketed tenfold.
"Is this opening the Qi of the Heart? It seems not as difficult as Grandfather said." Gu Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
He felt that it was not as difficult as Gu Zhantian said.
When he successfully broke through, Gu Xiaoyao did not hesitate and continued to attack the next Qi realm.
Half an hour later. Boom! The Qi of the Liver was shattered again, causing qi and blood to ripple.
Before long, the Qi of the Spleen was once again opened! Then came the Qi of the Lungs.
Finally, as the day was about to end, Gu Xiaoyao's entire body trembled, and the Qi of the Kidneys was finally shattered!
At the moment when the five Qi in the body opened, Jun Xiaoyao felt as if he had transformed into a war god, capable of suppressing the universe in all directions.
Meanwhile, Old Man Gu Zhantian stood there dumbfounded, muttering to himself.
"Damn it, when I broke through to the fifth realm of Qi, it took me two years. But this kid actually broke through in just one day..."
People are different, it's infuriating. Gu Zhantian felt like a waste in front of his grandson. No, it's just a waste. Apart from being older and having higher cultivation, he couldn't match Gu Xiaoyao in any aspect.
"Grandfather, I feel something is not right," Gu Xiaoyao suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong, is something the matter?" Gu Zhantian snapped out of his daze, nervous.
Gu Xiaoyao was the treasure of the Gu family. If anything happened to him, the Eighteenth Patriarch would have to skin him off.
"Why do I feel like the power of the kidney energy is stronger than the other four energies?" Gu Xiaoyao wondered.
This wasn't to say that his other four energies were weak, but the power of the kidney energy was overly strong.
Gu Zhantian hurried forward to investigate, finally breathing a sigh of relief with a complex look in his eyes, tinged with envy.
"Grandfather, am I okay?" Gu Xiaoyao asked.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong, Xiaoyao, in the future, you must proliferate the influence of Gu lineage. When the ten-year-old banquet was held, I asked Jiang Rou to marry the apple of the Jiang family's eye to you," Gu Zhantian said.
"Oh..." Gu Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood. So the Ancient Immortal Physique also had benefits in that area.
But Gu Xiaoyao wasn't someone who would let his hormones dictate his actions. No matter how good his kidney energy was, he wouldn't act recklessly.
As for arranged marriages, Gu Xiaoyao won’t fall in love casually with the apple of the Jiang family's eye.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you know what the Taiyue Ancient Stele is?" Gu Xiaoyao changed the subject.
In the past three years, Gu Xiaoyao has been settling down and has not signed in.
Now that he had made another breakthrough in his cultivation, it was time to go to the designated place to check in and collect rewards.
"The Taiyue Ancient Stele was originally erected in the ancient fairy domain as a stone tablet used to assess physical strength. However, later it was excavated by our Gu family and placed in the Martial Arena for the younger disciples to test their physical bodies," Gu Zhantian said.
"Is that so..." Gu Xiaoyao sweats slightly.
The Gu family was indeed domineering, directly digging up the Taiyue Ancient Stele.
But it was also convenient, saving Gu Xiaoyao the trouble of searching for it.
"Grandpa, I want to go and try the Taiyue Ancient Stele," Gu Xiaoyao said.
"This..." Gu Zhantian hesitated.
Young disciples who went to the Gu family's Martial Arena were generally over ten years old.
Gu Xiaoyao was only three years old now, albeit with a rare Ancient Immortal Holy physique, but in testing, he might still be unable to compare with those older geniuses.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I just want to give it a try. If I fail, it's okay," Gu Xiaoyao said.
He just wanted to go and check in for the rewards.
"Well then," Gu Zhantian nodded slightly.
Children, after all, need to experience setbacks.
Otherwise, with too much talent, they might develop an arrogant character.
"I'll follow behind my grandson then, if he fails, I can comfort him..." Gu Zhantian thought silently.
"Three years, I can finally leave the Heavenly Emperor's Palace!" Gu Xiaoyao walked out of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.
Although he was only three years old, because of the Ancient Immortal Holy Body, he looked like a five or six-year-old boy.
His jet-black hair shimmered, each strand glowing, and his skin was as translucent as jade. His features seemed carved by the heavens, exquisitely perfect.
At such a young age, he looked ethereal and handsome, like a young exiled immortal.
It was hard to imagine how magnificent and outstanding Gu Xiaoyao would become when he grew up.
"I wonder what rewards I can get from checking in at the Taiyue Ancient Stele," Gu Xiaoyao wondered.
