Chapter 81: From Now On, the Heavenly Emperor Accompanies

As the system's prompt tone sounded.

In Gu Yuan's mind, an ancient scripture as vast as a sea of smoke and profoundly mysterious instantly appeared.

Each character seemed to contain the ultimate principle of the universe's birth and death.

Each sound seemed like the roar of the source of the Great Dao.

Gu Yuan merely skimmed it, and felt his spirit on the verge of being burst by the massive flow of information.

"Indeed, it's a good thing."

Gu Yuan praised it in his heart, then lifted his head to look at his grandfather's kindly face.

Under the puzzled gazes of the Grandmaster, Gu Linjiang, Gu Xuan Ce, Gu Zhan and the others.

Gu Yuan extended a finger and lightly tapped the Grandmaster's forehead.

Buzz—

A torrent of information so immense it defied imagination instantly passed through Gu Yuan's finger and surged into the Grandmaster's sea of consciousness.

The Grandmaster's smile on his face froze completely at that moment.

He froze in place, motionless.

His pair of seemingly clouded old eyes—

—suddenly widened, the pupils nearly bulging out of their sockets.

Inside, a flash of bewilderment first flickered.

Then came endless confusion, followed by incredulous horror, and finally, all turned into… a blank.

"Original… Primordial… Imperishable Scripture…"

"The Dao gives birth to one… returns to oneself, that is the Primordial…"

"Using the body as a furnace to refine myriad Dao, using spirit as fire to temper the true self, without external aid, thus becomes imperishable…"

The Grandmaster's lips trembled unconsciously, murmuring the incomparably mysterious scriptures.

A towering wave had already risen within his sea of consciousness!

Each ancient character for Dao seemed to come alive, transforming into supreme deities that split heaven and earth.

Deep within his spirit, the ultimate mystery of the universe's birth and death, and the endless cycle of myriad Dao, unfolded.

This… this really is… the Original Imperishable Scripture!

Moreover, it is the complete, flawless original that points directly above the Immortal King!

He just… was speaking casually earlier!

He was only painting a picture for his grandson!

How… did the grandson instantly pull a nuclear bomb on him?!

That picture… how did it become real?!

"Goo-dong."

The Grandmaster swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

His throat felt extremely dry.

He felt as if he had lived for millions of years.

He had endured countless tempests and seen innumerable rare treasures.

But the shock he received today was greater than all the past combined!

He slowly, inch by inch, lowered his head.

With a gaze like one staring at a monster, he looked at the beloved grandson before him, who wore an innocent smile.

"Yuan'er…"

The Grandmaster's voice carried a tremor he himself had not even noticed.

"You… say it to grandpa again, what you gave grandpa… is what?"

"It's the Original Imperishable Scripture."

Gu Yuan blinked his pure big eyes and answered as if it were obvious.

"Grandpa, didn't you just say you wanted this? So grandson gave it to you."

The tone was casual, as if saying, "Grandpa, you said you wanted candied hawthorn, so I bought you a skewer."

"..."

The Grandmaster opened his mouth, only to find he couldn't utter a single word.

His mind buzzed, a chaotic hum.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened?

The true immortal Dao heart that has lived for millions of years.

At this moment, an unprecedented violent fluctuation arose, even… a faint sign of instability.

There's no way around it; anyone would be stunned by this.

He merely mentioned it offhand, daydreamed about the future, and the grandson instantly realized his ultimate dream.

It felt like a mortal wishing upon a shooting star to become emperor.

The next second, the National Jade Seal, accompanied by a million elite soldiers, fell from the sky and struck his forehead.

Absurd!

Too damn absurd!

Beside them stood Gu Linjiang, Gu Xuan Ce, Gu Zhan and the others.

Although I don't know what happened.

But seeing the Patriarch in this lost-spirited state, as if struck by lightning, each of them was stunned dumbfounded.

In their hearts, the Patriarch is omnipotent, a divine needle that stabilizes the sea, unmoving even if Mount Tai collapses before him.

When had anyone ever seen him so undignified?

Young Master…… what on earth did you do to the Patriarch?

"Patriarch… Patriarch, are you alright?"

Gu Linjiang looked at the Patriarch's appearance, which could collapse his Way heart at any moment, and couldn't help asking carefully.

"I'm fine…… what could possibly happen to me……"

The Patriarch waved his hand, took a deep breath, then another deep breath, repeating it over a dozen times before barely letting his heart, which felt like it was about to jump out of his throat, calm down a bit.

He raised his head again, his gaze complex as he looked at Gu Yuan, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Yuan'er, you… you tell Grandfather the truth, this scripture… where did you get it from?"

This question, he must ask clearly.

This is the Immortal King Scripture!

In the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, the emergence of any Immortal King Scripture is enough to stir up a bloody storm sweeping countless star fields, and even true Immortal Kings would fight over it.

Gu Yuan obtaining this item entails karmic ties behind it that are absolutely unimaginable.

He must clarify whether there are any traps or dangers behind this.

"Oh, this thing."

Gu Yuan had long anticipated the Patriarch would ask this, he scratched his head, showing an expression of it being only natural.

"It was when that World Tree sapling entered my body, when I broke through, and then in a haze of chaos I saw many glowing things—swords, cauldrons, and many books…"

"Then I heard a voice ask me: 'I can grant you one wish.'"

"The grandson asked it, and my wish was 'Can I have ten more wishes?' The voice told me not to nest wishes, to be serious, but there's no way— the grandson lacks nothing except a grandfather above an Immortal King, so I just casually picked whatever you, Grandfather, wanted."

Gu Yuan explained, half-truth, half-false.

He attributed everything to the World Tree and the phenomena during his breakthrough.

As for whether to believe it or not,

it's still that saying,

As long as you can make the World Tree acknowledge you as its master and unite three thousand micro-worlds, you can also give it a try.

"World Tree? Could it be a legacy imprint…"

The Patriarch heard this explanation and stared blankly for a moment.

In the end, he could only accept this explanation.

Thinking of this, the Patriarch's heart finally relaxed a bit.

As long as the grandson hasn't provoked some forbidden existence, that's fine.

As for the origin of this Immortal King Scripture, it's no longer important.

What matters is that it now bears the surname Gu!

"Good… good grandson! You truly are Grandfather's… lucky star!"

The Patriarch swept Gu Yuan into his arms, tears streaming from his excitement, and he slapped Gu Yuan's back hard, making his qi and blood surge.

With this Primordial Indestructible Scripture, he has absolute confidence to break through to the Immortal King Realm in the shortest time!

By then, their Gu Family will become a true premier clan in the Primeval Immortal Domain and even the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!

It will be a supreme Immortal Clan with an Immortal King enthroned!

"Cough… cough… Grandfather, go easy, the grandson's about to be slapped apart by you!" Gu Yuan was choked until his eyes rolled upward.

"Hahaha!"

Only then did the Patriarch react, quickly letting go, looking at his own grandson, the more he looked the more he liked, the more he looked the more satisfied he was.

Qilin'er!

This damn thing is truly a Qilin'er!

Whatever celestial body or imperial physique, before this Immortal King Scripture, they all have to step back a bit!

"Linjiang! Xuan Ce!"

The Patriarch suddenly turned, and in a solemn voice commanded the two newly ascended Heavenly Emperors.

"From now on, you are Yuan'er's exclusive guards; if Yuan'er goes out, you must accompany him, and also bring ten Supremes along! If he loses a single hair outside, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Yes!"

Gu Linjiang and Gu Xuan Ce responded in unison, their expressions solemn.

Although the fact that mighty Heavenly Emperors serving as guards would shock the Primeval Immortal Domain if spoken of,

but… a Young Master who can casually produce an Immortal King Scripture,

its value and importance have already surpassed their imagination.

Not to mention Heavenly Emperors.

Even letting a True Immortal serve as Yuan'er's guard would be worthwhile.

This is the entire Gu Family's future.

It is the sole hope for the Gu Family to stand atop the pinnacle of the Myriad Heavens!
