Chapter 51: Grandpa, do you want to go out to relax?

"Hehe, my grandpa!"

Gu Yuan jumped up from the treasure throne,

A brilliant smile appeared on his face.

Last time I discovered a new world, I only dared to go find my father.

This time is different!

I am already the sole young master, firmly established,

My status equals that of the family head,

My say in the family is now incomparable to the past.

Moreover, I just now offered the Chaos Immortal Bell, making the ancestors overjoyed, and they promised, 'Any request will be granted.'

This promise must not be wasted!

Actually, there's no need for all this trouble,

Gu Yuan thought he could directly tell the ancestor to crush that world and be rewarded with the Immortal King-level True Scripture,

He'll definitely be the first to go up!

Exactly, that's how it is!

……

……

On the other side, beside the Bronze Immortal Coffin.

The Gu Family Old Ancestor sat cross-legged, holding the ancient Chaos Immortal Bell with both hands, unable to put it down.

On his wrinkled old face,

overflowing with the joy of regaining what was lost,

like a child who got his favorite toy.

Immortal power flowed like water, slowly poured into the bell, nurturing this innate supreme treasure that shares his origin.

Waves of terrifying aura surpassing myriad paths surged and brewed within it.

"Hahaha, it's almost ready, almost ready……"

The ancestor stroked the patterns on the bell's body,

feeling the intimate connection of shared bloodline,

muttering incessantly.

"'Once I fully refine you, who in heaven and earth would dare to be an enemy of my Gu Family?'"

He could already imagine himself holding the Chaos Bell, treading the Bronze Coffin, one bell suppressing eternity, sweeping the Primordial Immortal Realm with invincible grandeur.

But upon second thought, it seems no different from now.

Just then, a stream of light flew from afar and landed not far from him.

It was Gu Yuan.

"Hmm? Yuan'er, you just went back?"

Seeing his precious grandson, the ancestor's smile grew ever more affectionate.

He waved at Gu Yuan.

"Grandson pays respects to grandfather."

Gu Yuan stepped forward and performed a respectful salute.

"Alright, alright, as I said, we're family—no need for these empty formalities."

The ancestor waved his hand, pulled Gu Yuan to sit beside him, and asked concernedly, "What's up? Did you run into some cultivation trouble just after coming back?"

"No, not that."

Gu Yuan shook his head, rubbed his hands, his face showing a deliberately feigned excitement, and lowered his voice to say:

"Grandfather, grandson… grandson seems to have made another discovery!"

"Oh?"

The ancestor raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

Last time he spoke of a new discovery, he brought the family a complete world.

In exchange came two supremes, one at the peak of supremacy, and a half-immortal.

Plus the Chaos Immortal Bell.

Most importantly, there is also this Qilin child's own Heavenly Emperor Body.

This time……

"Let's hear it, what new discovery do you have?"

The ancestor asked with a chuckle, already beginning to anticipate.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, organized his words, and spoke with a tone somewhat uncertain yet full of surprise:

"Grandfather, just now, while grandson was sitting quietly in the side palace, consolidating his dao foundation,

"perhaps because I just opened the Three Thousand Worlds, my soul resonated with the chaos qi of this inner universe, and I actually… sensed the coordinates of an extremely distant world in the dark!"

This statement is half true, half false.

Anyway, there's no proof for opening three thousand micro worlds,

The soul differs from ordinary people; having a bit of special perception is quite normal, right?

"Sensed another new world?"

The ancestor's gaze changed in an instant.

He looked at Gu Yuan, his turbid old eyes that could see through myriad ages filled with astonishment.

Once, it could be said to be heaven-defying luck, a coincidence.

But this quickly, and it happens a second time?

This can't be explained by coincidence!

"You little brat... you're truly a treasure!"

The old ancestor couldn't help but sigh.

He now somewhat believes, his own grandson,

maybe he really is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao's parent.

Otherwise, how could there be such outrageous luck?

Others exhaust their energy, deduce for countless ages, yet cannot find a single world coordinate.

He, on the other hand, just sits at home cultivating, and world coordinates come to him like free stuff, one after another popping into his mind.

"Quick! Quickly tell grandpa, what's the situation with this world this time?"

Last time, a Xuan Tian Continent brought the Gu family a huge harvest.

Not only did it give his son Lin Tian hope of becoming an immortal,

but also allowed him to regain his natal supreme treasure, the Chaos Immortal Bell.

What kind of surprise will this new world bring this time?

"According to my grandson's feeling, that world seems somewhat... special."

Gu Yuan deliberately sold a teaser.

"That world seems to have been shattered in an extremely ancient great battle, the Great Dao incomplete, the laws deficient."

Hearing this, the old ancestor's brows slightly furrowed.

A shattered world?

Such a world's value would be greatly discounted.

The origin is incomplete, resources exhausted, there's not much profit.

However, he didn't interrupt, gesturing for Gu Yuan to continue.

"But!"

Gu Yuan shifted his tone, his voice becoming solemn,

"That world, although shattered, seems to have an extremely profound foundation! My grandson, in his sensing, heard the words Xian Gu, World Tree, and the Secret of Ascension!"

Boom!

Xian Gu! World Tree! Secret of Ascension!

These three words made the old ancestor's face change instantly, his expression losing composure!

He suddenly jumped up from the Bronze Immortal Coffin, grabbing Gu Yuan's shoulder,

in his murky old eyes burst forth an unprecedented brilliant light!

"You... what did you say?!"

"World Tree? Secret of Ascension?"

His voice was trembling!

Xian Gu,

This is a history recorded in the Primeval Immortal Realm.

Legend says it is an era even older and more glorious than the Primeval Age!

An age where True Immortals walk everywhere and Immortal Kings are not uncommon, a supreme golden age!

And the World Tree...

If it is that level of World Tree,

to say it penetrates the myriad worlds and supports the entire universe is not an exaggeration!

As for the Secret of Ascension...

These four words hold a deadly temptation for any cultivator!

Although he is already a True Immortal.

but he certainly wouldn't mind the Gu family having another True Immortal.

"Yuan'er, this is no small matter! Are you sure you didn't sense wrong?"

The old ancestor's expression became unprecedentedly solemn.

"My grandson... dare not be completely certain."

Gu Yuan showed an innocent expression of "I'm just a kid, I don't really understand either,"

"but that sensing is crystal clear; my grandson can even vaguely sense that in a place called the Xian Gu Relic Site, a huge storm seems to be brewing,"

countless lineages and heavenly pride are going mad for that so-called World Tree and Secret of Ascension!"

After hearing Gu Yuan's description,

the old ancestor fell into a long silence.

In his deep eyes, countless stars flickered and faded, while Dao symbols rapidly evolved.

A shattered Xian Gu world.

A Xian Gu relic site about to open.

A suspected existing World Tree sapling.

A storm concerning the Secret of Ascension.

These pieces of information stacked together mean something, which he understands better than anyone.

This means an enormous fortune!

A heavenly opportunity great enough to drive even True Immortals mad!

If Yuan'er is speaking the truth, then this World Tree sapling must be obtained!

Even if it is only a sapling,

as long as its grade is high enough,

transplant it back to the Gu Family,

using the entire family's foundation to cultivate it……

One might even ride that wind and achieve Immortal King status!

Thinking of this, even with the Old Ancestor's state of mind, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

"Grandfather?"

Gu Yuan looked at his family's Old Ancestor's uncertain expression and cautiously called out.

The Old Ancestor came to his senses, he looked at this person before him,

who always brings him great surprises, his precious grandson,

his eyes filled with indescribable affection and pride.

"Good! Good!"

He slapped Gu Yuan's shoulder hard and burst into loud laughter.

"My good grandson! You are not an auspicious omen; you are practically the father of the Great Dao!"

"Grandfather, I feel like you're taking advantage of the Great Dao."

"Eh, that's not important; what matters is this opportunity—our Gu Family will definitely get it!"

In the Old Ancestor's eyes, a hint of indisputable domineering flashed.

"Grandfather, that world sounds like the water is a bit deep, grandson worries—relying only on Elder Changfeng and Elder Yunlan, will they… not be able to hold the scene?"

"Or… or this time, you yourself, old sir, personally accompany grandson on a trip?"

Gu Yuan blushed and stated his ultimate purpose.

"Just treat it as going out for a trip, to relax, and… help grandson dig up that whatever World Tree, bring it back, and plant it in the backyard of my traveling palace—what do you think?"
