Chapter 47: The Gu Family Once Again Produces Two Supremes!

Gu Family Mausoleum is located at the far western edge of Divine Island.

Here, there are no pavilions or towers, no immortal flowers or divine herbs, only rows of ancient, simple stone steles,

They stand silently upon a desolate tract of land.

Beneath each stele lies buried a powerhouse who devoted their life to the Gu Family.

Usually, this place is deathly silent,

Apart from the tomb keepers, no one sets foot here.

But today, this land that has lain silent for countless millennia is utterly disrupted by two terrifying auras!

Above the Heavenly Dome, at some unknown time, heavy tribulation clouds as thick as ink have gathered.

Purple lightning dragons as thick as mountain ranges weave and roar within the clouds, exuding a terrifying might that could destroy heaven and earth.

This is the Supreme Tribulation!

Moreover, it is two Supreme Tribulations superimposed!

Its power is more than ten times as terrifying as an ordinary Supreme Tribulation!

At the deepest part of the mausoleum, before two inconspicuous steles, sit two withered elders cross-legged.

Their hair and beard are white, their bodies so emaciated they are nothing but skeletons, as if a gust of wind could topple them.

The life aura on their bodies is weakened to the extreme, even less than a candle flickering in the wind.

Yet their eyes shine astonishingly bright!

It is a kind of disregard for life and death,

burning the last thread of life, a resolve and madness to live even in the face of death!

They are Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan.

This is their final chance in this lifetime,

for after today, their lifespan will be completely exhausted.

Rather than that,

it is better to push sublimation to the utmost,

seeking a future!

So, without hesitation, they directly ignited the little remaining life origin within themselves, forcibly drawing down the Supreme Tribulation!

If they fail, they will achieve benevolence!

"Two lunatics!"

A cold snort exploded between heaven and earth.

The ancestor's apparition silently appeared above the mausoleum.

He gazed at the two frenzied figures below,

and glanced up at the terrifying tribulation that had been brewed to the extreme; his face showed no joy or anger.

"Grandfather, they…"

Gu Yuan's apparition appeared beside the ancestor, looking at the two elders whose lamps had run dry of oil, his heart feeling some reluctance.

"It's fine."

The ancestor waved a hand, his expression indifferent,

"The path of seeking the Dao is inherently to defy heaven; without madness, there is no success; their such spirit is a good thing."

Although he said so, he could not truly watch these two old comrades die so helplessly under the tribulation.

"Gu Lin Tian, Gu Xue Dao."

"Present!"

The apparitions of Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xue Dao appeared to the left and right of the ancestor.

"You two, each one, inject this origin into their bodies."

With a flip of his palm, the ancestor took that clump of peak 18th-realm origin, and using his supreme immortal power, he had already split it into two slightly smaller light balls that flew toward Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xue Dao.

"As you command!"

The two dared not delay, receiving the origin, their forms flickered,

and appeared behind Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan.

"Zhangfeng (Yunlan)!"

"Focus!"

Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xue Dao bellowed angrily,

and struck a palm upon their heavenly spirit caps!

Boom!

The two masses of pure, majestic supreme origin, like two streams of sweet rain,

instantly surged into the elders' long-dried dantian qi seas!

"Ugh—!"

The excruciating pain of drought meeting sweet rain,

caused Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan to simultaneously utter a painful howl.

Their withered flesh, as if being inflated, rapidly became full and plump at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Their graying hair began to turn black.

Their aged visages regained youth.

That faint flame of life, under the pouring of supreme origin, surged violently, shooting straight to the heavens!

But, this is still not enough!

They had been dormant for three hundred thousand years, their Dao foundation long decayed, yet they forced a breakthrough.

Moreover, they added insult to injury to their already shattered foundations.

Having only the primal source is still insufficient for them to defy Heaven and alter fate!

Above the Heavenly Dome, that terrifying Thunder Tribulation seemed to sense the two revitalized auras below and grew even more ferocious!

"Boom— Crack!"

The first Thunder Tribulation finally struck!

It was a purple Divine Thunder condensed from pure law of destruction,

its might enough to make even a strongman newly entered into the Supreme Realm turn pale!

However, at the instant that Divine Thunder was about to fall,

the Elder Ancestor, who had been standing in the void with his hands behind his back, finally moved.

He merely lifted his eyelids lightly and glanced at the purple Divine Thunder.

Then, gently, he exhaled a breath.

Hoo—

A light breeze brushed by.

That terrifying Divine Thunder, capable of slaying a saint, actually… just vanished into thin air!

As if it had never appeared at all!

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan, far away, twitched his eyelids.

Is this the power of a True Immortal?

A breath can disperse a Supreme Calamity?

That's utterly unreasonable!

Meanwhile, Gu Lin Tian and Gu Xue Dao below were already unfazed.

They were simply concentrating, helping the two elders to smooth out the raging energy within their bodies.

The Ancestor's performance continued.

He seemed to think that blowing one by one was too troublesome.

He slowly extended a hand, gently grasped the massive tribulation cloud in the sky.

"Disperse."

A simple word slipped from his mouth.

In the next moment, a scene that blew Gu Yuan's three views apart unfolded.

That terrifying tribulation cloud, covering tens of thousands of li and capable of shaking the entire Celestial Realm,

actually… actually truly dispersed just like that!

The wind light, the clouds thin, ten thousand li clear of clouds.

As if the earlier world‑shattering scene had been merely an illusion.

Gu Yuan: "……"

He now somewhat understands why the Gu Family can stride across the Celestial Realm.

With such an unreasonable Elder Ancestor, who dares to defy him?

Dare to defy, and he'll blow you away!

"Alright, the troublesome thing is gone."

The Ancestor clapped his hands, as if shooing away a few annoying flies.

But only he himself knows,

dispersing a Supreme Calamity,

what price must be paid.

Even Yuan'er is willing to contribute the Supreme primal source for the family,

what then does he have any reluctance about?

It's merely answering the calamity,

He, a dignified True Immortal,

has nothing to fear!?

The Ancestor turned his head, his gaze falling on Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan.

"Two old fellows, after a million years of cultivation, have their foundations rotted like a dog's belly."

"Very well, today I'm in a good mood, so I'll grant you another destiny."

Saying that,

Snort!

A drop of crimson, blood‑like jewel, radiating immortal celestial light—True Immortal essence blood,

split in the air into two, becoming two streams of light,

precisely piercing the foreheads of Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan.

Boom! Boom!

After being nourished by the True Immortal essence blood, the two elders' aura underwent another earth‑shaking transformation!

The Dao foundation they had just reshaped within their bodies,

under the baptism of celestial blood, became immensely stable,

even stronger than some veteran Supremes.

That bottleneck belonging to the Supreme shattered with a boom at this moment!

Two brand‑new streams of supreme might, vast as an abyss,

From them it shot up to the heavens, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Success!

Gu Family, we now have two more Supremes!

"I... I am..."

Gu Zhangfeng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the unprecedented powerful force within his body, his face filled with disbelief.

"Supreme... Have I become a Supreme?"

Gu Yunlan also looked bewildered,

He looked at his hands, now young and strong again, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Three hundred thousand years of silence, three hundred thousand years of despair.

They had thought they would turn into a handful of yellow earth, dissipating in the river of time.

But they never expected a sudden turn: the willows grew dark, then the flowers brightened!

They not only survived, they also took the step they had long dreamed of!

"Thank you... thank you, Old Ancestor, for the grace of rebirth!"

After they realized, they hesitated not at all,

Together they knelt before the Old Ancestor in the sky, tears streaming down their faces.

This kindness is higher than the heavens, deeper than the sea!

The Old Ancestor merely waved his hand lightly:

"If you want to give thanks, give it to Yuan'er."

"If it weren't for him, you two would already be charred corpses."

Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan heard this and were stunned,

Immediately, they turned their gaze to the Old Ancestor's side,

the white‑clothed youth who had been standing quietly, like an outsider.

They could clearly feel that the supreme origin that granted them rebirth,

came from this youth.

Thud!

They knelt again, this time toward Gu Yuan.

"Zhangfeng (Yunlan), greetings, Young Master!"

"The Young Master's gift of the Dao, we will never forget!"

"From now on, our lives belong to the Young Master; we will obey his commands even unto death."

Their voices rang out, strong and resonant.

That was no mere formality, but a sincere vow from the depths of their souls.
