Chapter 103

The main hall of the Celestial Court.

Gu Lin Tian sat upright on the Nine-Dragon Throne, his expression stern, as he listened to the reports from Gu Linjiang and others below on the various affairs following the establishment of the Celestial Court.

After the Gu Family unified the immortal realm and established the Celestial Court, all the resources and power of the Primordial Immortal Realm began to converge onto the Gu Family's Divine Island.

The daily affairs to be handled piled up like mountains.

Even he, a newly ascended True Immortal, felt a bit overwhelmed.

Just then.

A white-clad figure rushed into the hall in a flurry.

"Huh?"

All the powerhouses in the hall, including several Gu Family Heavenly Emperors, furrowed their brows.

Who dares to be so bold, acting recklessly in the main hall of the Celestial Court?

But when they saw the newcomer's face, all displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of respect and curiosity.

Gu Lin Tian looked at his hurried son.

"Yuan'er, what's the rush?"

Gu Lin Tian looked at his own flustered son, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes.

Gu Yuan ignored the gazes around him, took a few steps to the throne, and bowed to Gu Lin Tian and his mother, Jiang Rou, standing beside him.

"Father, Mother, I have momentous good news to report!"

Gu Yuan lowered his voice, but the excitement in his tone could not be concealed.

As soon as he spoke, Gu Linjiang, Gu Xuan Ce, and the others seated below exchanged glances, each seeing a familiar feeling in the other's eyes.

The last time Gu Yuan announced momentous good news, he brought the family the Xuan Tian Continent.

It allowed the patriarch to obtain the Chaos Immortal Bell.

The previous time, Gu Yuan said he had a new discovery, bringing the family Sanqian Zhou.

It let the family form a group to replenish lifespans, giving the patriarch hope of reaching the Immortal King realm, and enabling the family to unify the Primordial Immortal Realm.

This time…

"Go on, let's hear it."

Gu Lin Tian leaned forward slightly, and the atmosphere in the whole hall grew subtly tense.

Gu Yuan cleared his throat, organized his words, and spoke in a half‑true, half‑false tone:

"Father, just now, while I was consolidating my cultivation in the inner cosmos, perhaps because I had just inscribed the Immortal King's bone, my soul resonated with that Immortal King's law, and… I actually sensed, in the dark, the coordinates of an extremely distant world."

"Oh?"

Gu Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, becoming interested.

"This world, hearing about it, sounds less dangerous than Sanqian Zhou, but the rewards are substantial."

Gu Yuan, eyebrows dancing, described the information given by the system in full.

Of course, he concealed the Immortal King's Scripture and the Immortal King's burial cloth, planning to give them to the family as a surprise after completing the task.

He emphasized the benefits of sensing a divinity, especially that Slaughter Supreme God divinity.

"……That place is littered with beings called evil gods and ancient gods; slaying them drops a thing called a divinity, which is excellent—it tempers the will, steadies the Dao heart, and greatly benefits cultivation."

Moreover, it can enhance comprehension; our Gu Family members now have lifespans several times those of outside experts, and we possess resources from several worlds—what are we lacking? Nothing but heaven‑chosen talents!

"Of course, these aren't the key; the most important thing is that the core of that world hides a Slaughter Supreme God divinity! I sensed it, and this thing could even, to some extent, assist Grandfather in breaking through to the Immortal King realm!"

Gu Lin Tian finished listening, his breathing becoming a bit hurried.

The probability of aiding a True Immortal's breakthrough to Immortal King!

This temptation is too great!

His father, Gu Cangsheng, has waited far too long for this realm.

Although hopes are now high.

But in the end, worry remains.

But now, a treasure that could almost guarantee Father's breakthrough to Immortal King has arrived just like that!

"This kid… could he be a reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao?"

He couldn't help but have the same thought as the patriarch.

Others beg their grandparents, exhausting themselves, yet still cannot find another world.

But his family is fine—his son can sense a new world every few days.

Is that reasonable?

"Yuan'er, how strong are the forces in that world you mentioned?" Gu Lin Tian's expression turned solemn.

This question is crucial.

Later he also learned about Sanqian Zhou from his father and the other elders.

Seeing weakness everywhere.

In the end, it even provoked Immortal King‑level combat power to act.

The richer a place is in rare treasures, the stronger its hidden forces likely are—we must be extremely cautious!

"There are ancient gods comparable to our Heavenly Emperor level—seven of them, and more than thirty supreme‑level evil gods; relying only on our family's few elders, I fear we couldn't withstand them."

"So…"

Gu Yuan rubbed his hands, gave a hehe smile, and said, "Father, this time you old man have to personally go out."

Gu Lin Tian fell into deep thought.

Seven Heavenly Emperors, thirty‑six Supremes.

Such strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

Judging from the surface, the top combat power is even stronger than that of the Gu Family.

Of course, this is excluding True Immortals.

Even counting True Immortals, additional Nineteenth and Eighteenth Realm cultivators would still not be enough to win.

"Good."

Gu Lin Tian's eyes flashed with resolve as he said, "This trip, I as father will accompany you."

"Lin Tian, you now possess a True Immortal body; descending to the lower realm will subject you to tremendous suppression, possibly even invoking a backlash from the realm's laws."

Gu Linjiang's voice came over.

"What the Grand Elder said is, Father, do you have any way?"

Gu Yuan was also worried about this problem.

If the world's standard hasn't reached Immortal Realm level, it cannot bear True Immortal-level combat power; before arriving, he couldn't easily confirm that world's grade, merely inferring it should be able to sustain a True Immortal.

"No problem." Gu Lin Tian gave a slight smile, full of confidence.

He rose to his feet, and his aura shifted.

Only to see behind him, two figures identical to him walk out.

One figure, surrounded by the vicissitudes of past ages, seemed to have walked from the river of history.

The other figure brimmed with infinite future possibilities and variables, its sharpness fully exposed, fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

"This is..." Gu Yuan stared, dumbfounded.

"Haven't you seen it before?"

Gu Lin Tian rarely got to see his son look so astonished; for a moment, the corners of all three of his mouths rose simultaneously.

"Three fathers? I've truly never seen that before."

Gu Yuan exclaimed in shock: "Could it be the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities?!"

"Cough cough cough."

This time it was Gu Lin Tian's turn to be embarrassed.

How could he possibly know such a legendary great divine ability?

"No, it's not that formidable; my cultivation method falls just short of that great divine ability. It is the self-created《Three Lives Transformation Dao Body》method, capable of severing past, present, and future bodies."

Gu Lin Tian explained lightly,

"My present self needs to preside over the Immortal Court and cannot easily leave."

"My future self's combat power is too high; this time I am sending my past self."

"His current state lies between past and present, considerably stronger than a Semi-Immortal-level combatant; even if the opposition has an early-stage True Immortal, this past self of mine can handle it."

Gu Yuan opened his mouth wide.

What a formidable companion!

Three-body technique?

He had always thought his old man relied on family resources to rise, never expecting he still hid such a trump card.

"Father, I misunderstood you."

"What did you misunderstand?"

"Actually, the son still thought you were a waste, breaking through to True Immortal only after consuming so many of his resources." Gu Yuan chuckled.

"You little brat, asking for a beating." Gu Lin Tian raised his hand, ready to strike Gu Yuan.

"If you hit me, Father, I'll sue you to your father!"

He wasn't afraid at all.

Gu Lin Tian snorted coldly, a villainous smile on his face: "Did you forget your grandfather is in seclusion?"

"Mother, Father wants to hit me!"

Jiang Rou watched the father and son scuffle, then glanced at Gu Yuan who had run to her side, and shook her head helplessly: "Enough, you're all grown up now, Lin Tian, you too—what's there to quibble over with your son?"

Gu Yuan Tian glanced at the wife who doted on their son, sighed helplessly, and then his expression turned solemn,

"Enough jokes; there's no delay. Grand Elder, go muster the troops, summon all Heavenly Emperors, take fifteen Supremes, and I will personally lead the unit."

"Yes, Immortal Sovereign!"

Gu Linjiang received the order and departed.

Soon, a force that could be called luxurious expeditionary army was fully assembled.

True Immortal (past self) Gu Lin Tian personally led the troops.

Nineteenth Realm Heavenly Emperors: Jiang Rou, Gu Linjiang, and Gu Xuan Ce.

Eighteenth Realm Supremes: Gu Zhan; Gu Xue Dao, who heard the news from somewhere and insisted on going regardless; Gu Tian, Gu Zhangfeng, Gu Yunlan; plus ten peak Eighteenth Realm Supreme Elders.

One hundred Seventeenth Realm cultivators.

Such a lineup is enough to sweep aside any immortal dao lineage.

"Yuan'er, open the gate." Gu Lin Tian looked at Gu Yuan, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Sure thing!"

Gu Yuan's mind stirred, he communicated with the system.

Hum——

That mysterious, ancient, transcendent circular light gate once again appeared out of thin air.

"Depart!"

Gu Lin Tian waved his hand broadly and stepped first into the light gate.

Jiang Rou and the others closely followed.
