Chapter 96: One Clan, Two True Immortals, Three Emperors Governing the World

When Gu Lin Tian and Jiang Rou's aura fully settled into the realms of True Immortal and Heavenly Emperor.

The chaotic thunder sea and nine‑colored calamity clouds that shrouded the sky above the Gu Family Divine Island finally began to dissipate slowly.

In their place rose myriad rays of rosy light, heavenly sweet rain descended, and golden lotuses surged from the earth.

The Great Dao of the entire Primordial Immortal Realm cheered and celebrated the birth of these two newly risen supreme overlords.

Above the Gu Family Divine Island, a dense, unbreakable aura of auspiciousness enveloped everything.

"Success!"

"The family head has attained True Immortal!"

"The matriarch has also become a Heavenly Emperor!"

After a brief silence, the entire Divine Island erupted with earth‑shaking cheers.

Countless members of the Gu clan were moved to tears of excitement.

They knew that from this moment, the everlasting Gu Family would indisputably become the sole sovereign of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Although it was almost the same before…

Gu Lin Jiang, Gu Xuan Ce, Gu Zhan and the other senior members trembled with excitement.

One clan, two True Immortals!

Three Heavenly Emperors!

What a terrifying lineup!

"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"

The patriarch stood atop the Divine Island, laughing aloud, his laughter filled with boundless pride and satisfaction.

He had been waiting for this day for far too long.

He turned his head, looked at Gu Yuan standing beside him with a smile, and gave his shoulder a hearty pat.

"Well‑behaved grandson, do you see? This is our home."

"All of this is thanks to your merit."

Saying that, the patriarch shook his head helplessly.

"Unfortunately your achievements are too great; even grandpa would be powerless to reward you."

Gu Yuan nodded heavily, then shook his head.

"Why would grandpa say such things? If the family grows stronger, doesn't that mean the grandson grows stronger too?"

"Grandson wishes grandpa would now, because of me, break through to the Immortal King and Immortal Emperor realms, and lead me back to Sanqian Zhou."

"It will happen; grandpa guarantees that day won't be far off."

If it weren't for protecting the path of Gu Lin Tian and Jiang Rou.

The patriarch had long entered seclusion, beginning to attempt a breakthrough to the Immortal King realm.

The realm he had suppressed for a million years was gradually slipping beyond his control.

Gu Yuan looked at the flushed faces below, feeling the heartfelt joy and pride, and a warm current rose within his heart.

That feeling was quite nice.

At that moment, two figures flew out together from deep within the Divine Island.

It was the newly broken‑through Gu Lin Tian and Jiang Rou.

Gu Lin Tian wore white robes, his aura restrained, yet his eyes seemed to contain a galaxy of stars, each blink revealing scenes of the Great Dao's birth and death.

He was no longer the imposing Heavenly Emperor.

He was now a truly transcendent True Immortal, whose lifespan matched that of heaven and earth.

And beside him, Jiang Rou was stunningly beautiful beyond description.

Time had left not a single trace on her face.

Instead, having attained the Heavenly Emperor, she gained an extra poise and nobility befitting a mother of the world.

The two approached the patriarch and Gu Yuan.

"Lin Tian, Jiang Rou, we salute father!"

Gu Lin Tian and Jiang Rou together bowed deeply before the patriarch.

"Alright, alright! Get up, all of you!"

The patriarch hurriedly helped the two to their feet, his face blossoming with a smile.

"From today onward, the Gu Family has two True Immortals. I can finally enjoy some leisure."

He said that clearly to Gu Lin Tian.

Gu Lin Tian heard this and gave a wry smile: "Father means that the family's mundane affairs can now be left to the child."

He knew his own father was about to let go completely and pursue a higher realm.

"Father, Mother."

Gu Yuan also stepped forward and saluted the two.

"Yuan'er."

Jiang Rou looked at her long‑unseen son, her eyes full of affection and pride.

She reached out, gently stroking Gu Yuan's cheek, and said softly:

"You have once again given mother a great surprise."

Although she was in seclusion, she was fully aware of everything happening outside.

Be it the two continents that fell from the sky or the defiant True Immortal Dao Fruit.

She knew all of this was the handiwork of her beloved son.

"Mother, this is what I ought to do," Gu Yuan smiled.

"Good child."

Jiang Rou embraced Gu Yuan in her arms, her heart filled with endless emotion.

Meanwhile, Gu Lin Tian, standing nearby, looked at his son, his gaze even more complicated.

He could clearly feel that within Gu Yuan's body lurked a terrifying power that even made him, a newly ascended True Immortal, feel his heart race.

Although it was not his own opponent.

But one must know.

Gu Yuan's road ahead is still long.

His future achievements will surely far surpass his own.

"Ahem."

Gu Lin Tian coughed awkwardly twice, shifting the subject.

"Yuan'er, you haven't rested properly since you returned, have you? Go back and rest a bit; in a few days the family will hold a grand celebration banquet for you."

"Celebration banquet?"

Gu Yuan heard this and raised an eyebrow.

"That's right."

The Elder Ancestor, standing nearby, took up the conversation,

"Our Gu Family, a sect of Dual-Verification Dao, whose young master has achieved an unparalleled feat, such an event must be proclaimed to the world, so that all the spirits of the Immortal Realm may come to behold the splendor of the Gu Family."

The Elder Ancestor's words were filled with undeniable authority.

He intended to use this opportunity to firmly establish the Gu Family's supreme status in the Immortal Realm.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and didn't object.

After all, he didn't have to do anything; he could just treat it as a party and join the merriment.

At that moment,

Beyond the Divine Island, streams of light sliced through the starry sky, flying toward the Gu Family's Divine Island.

Each beam of light represented a top-tier powerhouse of the Immortal Realm, or a headmaster of an immortal Dao lineage.

They were all coming... to offer congratulations.
