Chapter 77: Gu Yuan: How Can Xun Er Be So Lacking in Self-Respect!

Gu Fei's cultivation broke through to the Dou Zun realm, his aura continuously surging. That powerful presence spread out, and in the void not far away, the space fluctuated imperceptibly for an instant, followed by a white figure slowly emerging.

"I did not expect Young Master Gu Fei's breakthrough to Dou Zun to be so smooth this time. It seems our Ancient Clan has successors and can continue to flourish!"

The white-robed elder stood in the void, feeling Gu Fei's aura become much stronger, and stroked the beard on his chin, his face full of smiles.

This elder was precisely the Gu Clan Elder sent by the Ancient Clan to protect Gu Fei.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, after breaking through to Dou Zun, Gu Fei's sensory abilities had increased significantly.

He suddenly furrowed his brows, his figure paused, and his gaze looked toward the distant sky, vaguely sensing something.

However, that strange feeling was fleeting; he wanted to sense it again, but sensed nothing at all, so he did not think much of it.

It turned out that the place where the white-robed elder had just been standing was already empty, with no traces to follow, and not a shred of aura left behind.

"As expected of the most outstanding person of the younger generation, even I was almost discovered!"

Upon sensing that imperceptible perception approaching, the white-robed elder had quickly concealed his figure, avoiding Gu Fei's detection.

After Gu Fei left, the white-robed elder stared at Gu Fei's back and nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go!"

On Gu Fei's side, after the breakthrough, he set off again with Xiao Yixian and the others.

This time, Gu Fei's destination was a dangerous place located in the Dan Region, the Falling God Stream.

Although the journey was somewhat long, Gu Fei was not in the slightest hurry.

Now, he had gradually begun to enjoy this slow-paced life.

Along the way, watching these three girls chat, eat, and drink, and occasionally stopping to admire the scenery—compared to continuous bitter cultivation, this was the life Gu Fei yearned for.

Zi Yan's strength allowed her to not fear the poison in Xiao Yixian's body, so on the city streets, she walked directly holding Xiao Yixian's arm, and they seemed to get along quite well.

"Buy a little, this thing looks pretty good!" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yixian with a pleading gaze, then looked at Gu Fei.

It turned out that along the way, Xiao Yixian saw that Zi Yan was too extravagant and wanted to buy everything she saw, so she had confiscated her Storage Ring.

Even though Zi Yan's cultivation was higher than Xiao Yixian's by who knows how many realms, she did not dare to resist her and had to hand it over weakly.

"You can only buy this once today..."

Xiao Yixian shook her head helplessly, not understanding how Zi Yan's tiny belly could hold so many things, eating all day long.

"Okay!"

Seeing Xiao Yixian nod, Zi Yan immediately ran excitedly to a nearby stall and began to gobble up the delicacies on the stall.

Watching this scene, Gu Fei and Qing Lin on the side could not help but laugh out loud.

As for the transformed Lion King, he followed closely behind the four, his eyes calm but always vigilant, performing his duty as a guard.

One month later, deep within the Ancient Realm.

In an ancient grand hall, a large group of Ancient Clan Elders gathered, and even the one with the lowest cultivation among them had reached the Half-Saint level.

"Clan Leader, Gu Fei already broke through to the Dou Zun realm a month ago!"

An Ancient Clan Elder opened the topic; these old fellows loved to chat about the affairs of the young, and Gu Fei, being a leader among the younger generation, was always brought up.

"Hehe, Gu Fei chose to go out for training this time and was actually able to break through so quickly; it is truly very good. This cultivation speed is much faster than staying in the Ancient Realm!"

"That kid is worthy of being the number one of the younger generation! In this way, the other juniors can only look at his back!"

Some elders began to praise Gu Fei upon hearing about his breakthrough to Dou Zun.

"Gu Fei is indeed good!"

At the head of the hall, Gu Yuan moved his fingertips, his face also full of smiles.

"Gu Fei's talent is truly monstrous!"

"Didn't Xun Er also go out for training? I wonder how she is doing? With her talent, she should have made great progress too!"

At this moment, an Ancient Clan Elder suddenly asked a question.

The air was briefly silent for a moment.

The smile remained on Gu Yuan's face, but his eyes held a bit more seriousness.

He waited quite expectantly for the elders' response.

Xun Er's talent was also outstanding, but she could not sit still in the Ancient Realm to cultivate diligently, so she was vaguely inferior to Gu Fei; what was the result of her going out to train this time?

"That girl Xun Er... since she went out until now, her cultivation has not made any major progress!"

"I heard before that Xun Er's cultivation is still stuck at the Dou Wang stage."

An elder who had inquired about it replied.

The two informed elders looked at each other and chimed in one after another.

"Half a month ago, I received news that during this time, Xun Er seems to have been helping that member of the Xiao Clan find a medicinal herb capable of restoring soul power, and has basically not been cultivating!"

"Sigh, although Xun Er's talent is also very good, if she is so unfocused in her cultivation, no matter how good the talent is, it will be delayed!"

These words made Gu Yuan frown, and his original smile had disappeared.

Gu Yuan had been in seclusion before, so he had not been paying attention to the whereabouts of Gu Fei and Xun Er, and had only just learned this news upon coming out.

"How can Xun Er be so lacking in self-respect, getting too close to that kind of person will only delay her own development..."

A moment later, Gu Yuan sighed heavily, flicked his sleeves, and shouted: "Pass down the order, have Xun Er return to the clan immediately. If she is unwilling to return, bind her and bring her back!"

Here was a huge and vast stone platform, the entire platform cast from snow-white rock.

What was surprising was that this stone platform was actually a hundred meters high, and what supported it were the dozen or so giant stone pillars beneath it!

The stone pillars supported the platform like pillars holding up the sky; at a glance, it was majestic and spectacular.

The space above this stone platform was also extremely different from other places; it appeared exceptionally chaotic and extremely distorted, with some pitch-black cracks vaguely spreading out.

"Swoosh..."

At a certain moment, several silver rays flashed across this area of distorted space, and five figures emerged from within; these figures spat out by the distorted space were naturally Gu Fei and his group of five.

After landing on the stone platform, Xiao Yixian's gaze swept across the surroundings, and upon seeing this towering stone platform in particular, a hint of surprise could not help but emerge in her eyes.

"Is this the Central Region? Indeed, it is worthy of being the center of the Dou Qi Continent; even just the teleportation point of the Wormhole is this magnificent!"

As their gazes swept across the bustling stone platform, the group discovered quite a few figures wearing Alchemist robes; a single glance revealed nearly twenty-some Alchemists.

This place is truly worthy of being the Dan Region; Alchemists, who are quite rare in other places, are not considered rare at all here.
