Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Gu Xianlin's breakthrough to becoming the Saint Heir of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land is undoubtedly wonderful news.

Currently.

In the chat interface, the others were equally astonished.

Gu Xiu: "Fourth brother has broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm so quickly? Pity, I'm still in seclusion, and breaking through to Heavenly Venerate feels quite difficult!"

Gu Xuan: "…Indeed, it's quite difficult… By the way, third brother, how's your cultivation?"

Gu Xiu: "At the Great Emperor Peak, considered a half-step Heavenly Venerate. However, once I comprehend this Heavenly Venerable Dao Rhythm, I might just break through!"

Gu Xuan: "…"

Gu Yang: "It's a good thing that the fourth brother has broken through to Longevity. Counting father, our Gu Family now has three Longevity Venerates!"

Gu Xianlin: "As the Saint Heir of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, I'll consolidate my realm in seclusion first. Then I'll get back at the Master of the Forbidden Area from the Evil God Clan.

Last time, that cur ambushed me, thinking I was just an Emperor. This time, I'll take his head and ask him how much I resemble the past me now!"

Gu Yang: "…"

Gu Xuan: "…"

Gu Xiu: "Fourth brother, how bold!"

…

Gu Qingfeng pinched his brow, realizing that his sons seemed to have changed somewhat.

Ever since the chat board appeared, their conversations were no longer as staid or dull as before.

Regardless, this change was ultimately a good thing.

Gu Qingfeng wasn't worried about Gu Xianlin's revenge.

After all, that Master of the Forbidden Area couldn't kill Gu Xianlin when he was merely in the Emperor Realm, indicating that his strength, no matter how great, was limited.

With Gu Xianlin now having broken through and receiving a Supreme Treasure for protection from the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate, the revenge wouldn't be an issue.

At this moment.

Though Gu Xianlin was silent, Gu Xiu was still speaking.

Gu Xiu: "Fourth brother became the Saint Heir of Mountain and Sea. In the future, he could control the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, and controlling it is equivalent to controlling the Mountain and Sea Immortal Realm.

Big brother is currently rebuilding the Divine Martial Divine Dynasty, and controlling the Ancient Profound Immortal Domain is just around the corner.

With father in the Qingmu Immortal Realm, he might as well control the Qingmu Immortal Realm.

Once second brother takes the Beichen Immortal Domain, and I take the Southern Wilderness Immortal Domain, our Gu Family will surely gain a firm foothold in the Upper Realm, and the future looks promising!"

Gu Xuan: "…"

Gu Xiu: "Why is the second brother silent?"

Gu Xuan: "It's nothing…"

…

In the Beichen Immortal Domain, Gu Xuan was still on the run.

Killing an Evil God was momentarily gratifying.

But subsequent troubles were endless.

After destroying Blood Mist Ridge, Gu Xuan angered the Master of the Forbidden Area.

Still.

He didn't hold back and continued to act against other Evil God territories, eventually falling into the Master of the Forbidden Area's ambush. If he hadn't obtained some fortuitous life-saving opportunity once in the Beichen Immortal Domain, he would've had to ask Gu Qingfeng for help.

Yet, even so.

Gu Xuan was pursued relentlessly.

The Master of the Forbidden Area, at the Longevity Heavenly Venerate Realm, possessed a powerful Divine Thought, making it incredibly challenging to escape his sight.

Thus.

Gu Xuan had been living in extreme danger for years.

Every time he settled somewhere, they would find him.

Narrowly escaping death multiple times.

Leaving Gu Xuan complaining bitterly.

As he heard Gu Xiu bragging again, he found himself blocked by the Master of the Forbidden Area once more and certainly wasn't in the mood for casual chat.

Escape!

Flee desperately!

Gu Xuan transformed into a divine light and disappeared into the vast void, having instantly moved billions of miles, yet the terrifying aura behind him only drew closer.

"Boom!"

The void before him shattered, and a terrifying wave swept toward him like a tsunami. The powerful oppressive aura nearly choked Gu Xuan, whose movements stumbled under its impact.

At the same time.

A towering, fearsome figure appeared in the void. The other's crimson gaze was fixed on Gu Xuan, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Run… why aren't you running?"

"You killed an Emperor of our clan, and I will ensure you die in pieces!"

The Master of the Forbidden Area looked at Gu Xuan with cruelty in his eyes. This small Emperor had caused him great trouble, and his anger had long peaked.

At the moment, having truly cornered Gu Xuan, the Master of the Forbidden Area didn't rush to kill him but wanted to toy and torment him, like a cat with a mouse, before ending him with a swing in despair.

"…"

Gu Xuan fell silent as he faced the Master of the Forbidden Area.

He refrained from further escape.

Because he was now locked by the master's presence, any movement would incur his thunderous wrath.

Frankly speaking.

Gu Xuan was merely at the Late Stage Emperor, and no matter how deep his foundations were, he couldn't oppose a Master of the Forbidden Area.

His long escape was only due to the number of cards up his sleeve.

But now.

No cards could help.

Facing a Longevity being directly, Gu Xuan had no certainty.

Thus.

At the moment when the Master of the Forbidden Area spoke, Gu Xuan frantically called for help via the chat interface.

…

Gu Xuan: "Dad!! Save me!!!!"

Gu Yang: "?"

Gu Xiu: "?"

Gu Qingfeng: "I'm on my way!"

…

Upon seeing these words, Gu Xuan instantly felt relieved, yet his expression of relief sparked a foreboding in the Master of the Forbidden Area's heart.

Just as he was about to strike, suddenly, the void shattered, and a green-robed figure stepped across the river of time, appearing directly beside Gu Xuan.

"Dad!!"

Seeing Gu Qingfeng's actual appearance, Gu Xuan was nearly overcome with joy.

"Is this wretch trying to kill you?"

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the Master of the Forbidden Area, estimating that his power wasn't too great, merely a One Tribulation Heavenly Venerate.

But it made sense; a stronger Master of the Forbidden Area wouldn't have allowed Gu Xuan to escape for so long.
