Chapter 168

~8 min read 1,401 words

Saying this, he flicked his finger.

Boom!

One hundred and eight light clusters emitting a rich Imperial-path aura instantly flew out from the storage ring, floating in mid-air, illuminating the entire void brilliantly.

Each light ball contained the Great Emperor origin condensed from the lifelong cultivation of an ancient supreme being!

One hundred and eight clusters!

"This... this is..."

Gu Lin Tian's eyes widened, his breathing stopped.

Gu Linjiang, Gu Xuan Ce, Gu Zhan, and others were petrified on the spot, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg.

"Great Emperor origin?!"

"One hundred and eight clusters?!"

"Young Master, did you take down the entire forbidden zone of the Burial Emperor Star Domain?!"

Everyone's voices were trembling.

You must know that a complete Great Emperor origin was enough to allow one or two experts stuck at the peak of the Supreme Saint realm to break through to the Supreme realm!

And now, there were a full one hundred and eight clusters before their eyes!

What kind of concept was this?

This meant the Gu Family could have over a hundred supreme-level combat powers out of thin air!

Gu Zhan's bull eyes widened, and a loud gulping sound came from his throat, which was particularly harsh in this dead, silent space.

"Good heavens... my dear mother."

Gu Zhan rubbed his fan-like hands, drool almost flowing out,

"With one of these, I feel like I could hammer ten of yesterday's self to death with one punch. Young Master, did you go shopping, or did you dig up someone's ancestral grave?"

"Uncle Zhan, your perspective is too small. What digging ancestral graves? This is resource recycling. These old guys are occupying the latrine and not shitting; I'm just doing justice for heaven."

"Family Head, look at this..."

Gu Linjiang turned to look at Gu Lin Tian, waiting for the Family Head to order the distribution.

However, the expected ecstasy did not appear on Gu Lin Tian's face.

This newly promoted True Immortal frowned, looking at the origin in the sky, his eyes not only without joy but filled with deep worry.

"Not enough."

Gu Lin Tian spat out two words abruptly.

Gu Zhan was just about to reach out and touch an origin cluster, but hearing this, his hand froze in mid-air, looking confused: "Family Head, what's not enough? There are over a hundred clusters, enough for our whole clan plus the dog that sweeps the floor, why is it still not enough?"

Gu Cangsheng was also stunned, the shock on his old face not yet faded, only to be cooled down by his son's bucket of cold water.

He stood with his hands behind his back, somewhat displeased: "Lintian, you are being unreasonable. Yuanyuan worked hard to bring back these local specialties, why are you still complaining about the amount?"

Gu Lin Tian sighed, stood up, pointed at the origin, and began to calculate the fine accounts for this group of warriors who only cared about killing and not burying.

"Father, Yuanyuan, I'm not complaining about the amount, but you only see the combat power, not the consumption."

"Our Gu Family's current territory is mainly the Divine Island plus the Thunder and Fire Provinces snatched from Chixiao before. The Divine Island is fine, but these Thunder and Fire Provinces are newcomers after all, although they were forcibly merged by you, Ancestor, the ley lines haven't been fully nurtured yet."

"Supreme experts are gold-swallowing beasts. The spiritual energy required for a supreme being's daily cultivation is equivalent to ten thousand saints; of course, the spiritual energy supply is easy to solve, even if our Gu Family can't take it out, someone will help us pay for it, the more critical thing is the immortal material."

"According to my calculations, with the accumulation of the Thunder and Fire Provinces, supporting ten supreme beings to break through is already the limit, and if that's the case, the newly established Immortal Court might..."

Gu Lin Tian spoke very tactfully.

But they all understood.

Immortal material.

This was the core issue.

Supreme beings need to maintain peak combat power and prolong their lives, so they must consume immortal material.

To win over the entire Immortal Court.

Besides force, naturally, there must be benefits.

Immortal material is such a benefit.

So the scene was very awkward for a while.

Looking at everyone's worried expressions, Gu Cangsheng, who hadn't spoken, suddenly "hummed".

"Look at your lack of ambition."

The ancestor flicked his sleeves, his face no longer showing any worry, but rather a domineering air of "if the sky falls, I'll use it as a quilt".

"If there's no rice in the pot, what do we do?"

Gu Zhan answered subconsciously: "Rob?"

"Well said!"

Gu Cangsheng slapped his thigh and looked at Gu Zhan approvingly, making the latter look stunned.

"If there's no rice, then go get more rice. Is this little thing worth you all looking so worried?"

Gu Cangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, the aura of a Half-Step Immortal King leaking out inadvertently, causing the stagnant air around them to flow again.

"Where did we come from?"

Gu Zhan's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "Ancient Immortal Domain!"

"Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Gu Cangsheng gave him a white look.

"Grandfather, are you saying... Thus line: Sanqian Zhou?"

Hearing this, Gu Linjiang, Gu Xuan Ce, and others were shocked, terrifying light erupting in their eyes.

"That's right."

Gu Cangsheng's lips curled into a curve, his smile carrying a hint of fox-like cunning and dragon-like greed.

"Last time we were sneaky, pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. This time..." The ancestor paused, his gaze sweeping over Gu Lin Tian, the newly promoted True Immortal, then over Gu Linjiang and Jiang Rou, the newly promoted Heavenly Emperors, and finally landing on himself.

"The lineup has been upgraded, and we should change our way of playing."

"Last time it was stealing, this time, we're going to rob them openly!"

The ancestor's words were resonant, each word making everyone's heart jump wildly.

Yes! How could they forget the Thus line: Sanqian Zhou!

Last time they went, a few Heavenly Emperor realm experts led the way, with several supreme beings helping out, and they almost poked a hole in the sky.

This time, a Half-Step Immortal King, a True Immortal, several Heavenly Emperors, plus over a hundred supreme beings in the future...

If there was only one Immortal King on the other side.

It might not be impossible to... replicate it again!

"Father is wise!" Gu Lin Tian was the first to react, the worry in his eyes swept away, replaced by a flame called ambition.

"We don't need to take the entire Thus line: Sanqian Zhou, just one-tenth, even one-hundredth, let alone supporting a hundred supreme beings, even if there were twice as many, it would be more than enough!"

"Let's do it!"

Gu Zhan hammered his palm excitedly, "I've long found those Immortal Kings unpleasant!"

The atmosphere was ignited again, even more explosive than before.

If before they were just excited about getting the Great Emperor origin, now they were trembling with excitement about the magnificent blueprint about to unfold.

However, as the Family Head, Gu Lin Tian still had some worries.

It was mainly because the Thus line: Sanqian Zhou was too deep, and he was afraid that even if his father broke through to Immortal King, he wouldn't be able to hold it.

"However..."

Gu Cangsheng changed the subject, and everyone's gaze focused on him again.

"Whether this plan can succeed depends on two points."

"The first is on me, whether I can break through to the Immortal King realm."

"This is not difficult, I feel... the whole process won't take too long."

"The second..."

He looked at his precious grandson with a smile, his eyes looking as if he were watching a rare treasure.

"It also depends on our family's little lucky star."

"Yuanyuan." The ancestor's voice was full of doting, "Can you still find the way to that place?"

Swish!

Everyone's gaze fell on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan faced everyone's gaze without any stage fright.

He jumped off the bronze ancient coffin, clapped his hands, and a signature, bright smile with a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Grandfather, don't worry."

"As long as I want to, I can open the door at any time."
