1502 Words
"Alright, even the system doesn't want me to stay low-key..." Gu Xiaoyao silently grumbled to himself.
"Ding, the sign-in location has been refreshed. Please sign in at the Taiyue Ancient Stele!"
"Taiyue Ancient Stele, where is that?" Gu Xiaoyao pondered silently.
But this matter wasn't urgent. After all, he was just a baby now, and he had already signed in for the Great Completion of the Ancient Immortal Body, which could be considered a perfect start.
As for the next sign-in location, he could find it later.
"This time I obtained the Great Completion Ancient Immortal Body from the sign-in. I wonder what good thing I'll get next time?" Gu Xiaoyao felt a bit excited about it.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhantian suddenly slapped his head and said, "Right, I haven't given my precious grandson a name yet. How about calling him Gu Changsheng? It implies that he will achieve longevity and eternal life in the future."
Gu Xiaoyao, being held in his arms, felt speechless.
While the name Gu Changsheng sounded decent, he still hoped to use his own name.
"Ah, that's not appropriate. There are already too many people named Changsheng!" Some elders shook their heads.
In this world, everyone seeks longevity, so there are indeed many people named by this means.
At this moment, a somewhat weak voice suddenly sounded: "Let's just call him Xiaoyao. My husband once said, 'becoming an immortal is easy, but freedom is difficult.' I only hope that my child will live freely in the future."
Lying on the bed, the pale and beautiful woman spoke. She was Gu Xiaoyao's biological mother, Jiang Rou.
Facing Jiang Rou's suggestion, Gu Zhantian and others couldn't ignore it.
Because Jiang Rou's identity was not so simple either; she was a divine maiden of the Jiang Family in the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Although the Jiang Family didn't have as much fame as the Gu Family, they were also an ancient aristocratic family. How could they be weak?
"Alright, let's call him Xiaoyao then." Gu Zhantian nodded, but it seemed like he suddenly thought of something, sighing slightly.
Gu Xiaoyao noticed this situation, and his eyelids twitched.
It was only then that he realized his father seemed to be absent.
Is it another routine where the father sacrifices himself to heaven and has boundless power?
"Zhantian, don't worry. Gu Wuhui is the White-Clothed God King. How could he easily fall? Besides, when this child grows up, he may be able to find his father." A nearby old woman comforted him.
"That's true. Haha, I still have my precious grandson!" Gu Zhantian regained his smile.
Gu Xiaoyao blinked his eyes, secretly noting down his father's title.
Gu Wuhui, the White-Clothed God King.
From the sound of this name, his father seems to be quite high-ranking...
"Once the news of Xiaoyao's Holy Body of the Ancient Immortal spreads, it might cause a stir in the Immortal Domain. You must know, there are quite a few forces secretly plotting against our Gu Family," an elder said with deep meaning.
"Are you suggesting using means to conceal the fluctuations of Xiaoyao's Holy Body?" Gu Zhantian asked. The other elders nodded slightly.
Outstanding among trees in the forest, they will inevitably be toppled by the wind.
Gu Xiaoyao is now a treasure of the Gu Family, and any mistake cannot be made.
"When did the descendants of my Gu family learn to be secretive? Can't even a holy body protect them?"
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly resounded from the sky.
The entire Gu Family was startled, countless gazes turned towards the Imperial Palace.
"That fluctuation..."
"Such a powerful aura, it's the old ancestors sleeping in the ancestral shrine, crawling out of their coffins!"
"Gasp... even the old ancestors have been alarmed?" Countless voices of shock echoed from all directions within the Gu Family.
Those were the old ancestors of the Gu Family. Many members of the Gu Family would never have the chance to see them in their lifetime.
And Gu Xiaoyao, upon birth, actually startled the old ancestors, leaving many people shaken and showing signs of envy.
In the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Gu Zhantian and other elders were shocked when they heard this voice and hurriedly walked out of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.
Above the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, the void split open, revealing a massive spatial c***k.
A somewhat thin figure in gray robes emerged.
It was an elderly man in gray robes, covered in dust as if he had just crawled out from the ground.
Yet within his withered frame seemed to be contained a world-shaking power! As if all the heavens and myriad realms were beneath his feet!
"It's the Eighteenth Ancestor, we greet the Eighteenth Ancestor!" Gu Zhantian and the others hastily bowed.
This gray-robed elder was a true ancestral figure of the Gu clan, buried in the ancestral shrine for countless years.
Only when the Gu clan faced great upheaval, or when it reached a moment of life and death, would he awaken.
Gu Zhantian and the others hadn't expected that the birth of Gu Xiaoyao would attract the attention of their ancestor.
The figure of the Eighteenth Patriarch flashed, appeared in front of Gu Zhantian, carrying Gu Xiaoyao in his arms.
His gaze was as profound as the sun and moon as he looked at Gu Xiaoyao.
Gu Xiaoyao blinked his eyes, not crying or fussing, but instead showing a hint of curiosity.
"Is this my Gu family ancestor? Such a powerful aura, even stronger than grandfather's." Gu Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The Eighteenth Ancestor couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Good... good! My Gu family has produced another true dragon. You fools actually wanted to cover up this child's glory."
"Eighteenth Ancestor, I fear that in the future someone might harm my grandson..." Gu Zhantian said, forcing himself to speak.
Though their group held high status within their clan, they could only be considered juniors in front of the Eighteenth Ancestor.
"Humph, let them try! If those old bastards dare to lower their faces and make a move against Xiaoyao, I wouldn't mind starting an immortal battle, overturning the heavens and earth, and making blood flow for billions of miles!"
The Eighteenth Ancestor's attitude was extremely domineering.
Gu Zhantian and the others secretly swallowed their saliva.
An immortal battle was a war triggered by the top-tier ancient families, supreme dynasties, and the ancient royal families' level of immortal heritage.
A single battle could turn the ancient immortal domain upside down, with billions of lives shedding blood. It had been a long time since the ancient immortal domain had seen such an immortal battle.
"I declare that from now on, this child will be the divine child of my Gu family, and all cultivation resources will be tilted towards him," the Eighteenth Ancestor ordered.
Gu Zhantian and the other elders naturally nodded in agreement.
Only a fool would not cultivate the Holy Body of the Ancient Immortal who was born to break the shackles.
"And, bestow upon this child the qualification of the zero-number sequence..." the Eighteenth Ancestor continued.
"What?" The elders were shocked.
While bestowing the title of divine child was understandable, as it was merely a symbolic status, the sequence was different.
The Gu family sequence qualified one to contend for the position of family head.
The younger generation of the Gu family numbers tens of thousands. However, only ten individuals have obtained the rank of sequence.
In other words, only these ten individuals are eligible to compete for the position of family head.
These ten individuals, each one of them, can astonish an era, being the top ten geniuses of the Gu family.
Above the top ten sequences, there is another sequence, the zeroth sequence.
Zero represents having nothing, but it also represents infinite possibilities!
Its status is even above the first sequence!
The zeroth sequence of the previous generation was none other than Gu Xiaoyao's father, the White Robed Divine King Gu Wuhui!
"Eighteenth ancestor, isn't this a bit inappropriate? It might breed discontent among the other sequences..." an old woman tentatively remarked.
Each sequence has undergone countless trials to obtain this status.
Gu Xiaoyao was given sequence number zero when he was born. What did this make other sequences think?
"If they are discontented, let them contend for it themselves in the future. If they can surpass this child, then we'll talk." The Eighteenth Patriarch said with a flick of his sleeves.
From his tone, it was evident that he had great confidence in Gu Xiaoyao.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyao sighed quietly.
Grandfather had high hopes for him. The ancestors treat him with special eyes, not to mention his father's secrets and the hidden dangers within the Gu family.
"It seems that you really can't be a salted fish."
"With invincible talent, invincible background, system assistance, with such a perfect start, if I still can't dominate an era, then it can only mean I'm too incompetent..." Gu Xiaoyao thought to himself.
