Chapter 172: Days in Niankong Villa, Walking the Human World!

The atmosphere at Niankong Villa has been very strange lately; it is clearly known to all the world that during the battle at Niankong Villa, the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, this Human Supreme, appeared before all living beings for the first time, and the moment she appeared, she shook the Four Wilds and Eight Desolations.

Yet who could know that such an existence also has her own troubles.

"Father, have you noticed that the atmosphere around the villa has been very heavy for some time now?"

"Father, you said that there are still many existences in this world at your same realm; are those old fellows secretly spying on the villa?"

Gu Nianmo is still very willing to be close to this old father, whose memory is gradually becoming blurred.

Just like at this moment, after Gu Nianmo finished practicing sword with Gu Jiangming, he looked at Gu Jiangming with a serious face again.

Because of his experiences in his youth, Gu Nianmo has always behaved extremely sensibly.

It is just that Gu Jiangming has not been by his side since he was small; even though he remembers in his memory that Gu Jiangming protected him with his life when he was young, there is no doubt that Gu Jiangming was ultimately absent from Gu Nianmo's growth.

The sensible Gu Nianmo intends to draw closer to Gu Jiangming, and Gu Jiangming also feels quite guilty toward his eldest son, so he has been accompanying Gu Nianmo for this period of time.

However, regarding the matter of being a father, Gu Jiangming does not have much experience either; one can only say they are improving together!

As Gu Jiangming began to spend time with his son, Gu Jiangming also discovered that his son is excellent in every other aspect, but the only not-so-good point is that his son's emotional intelligence seems to be slightly problematic.

"Is there a possibility that your mother's mood has not been very good lately, which is why you have such a feeling?"

Gu Jiangming held Gu Shengxi and looked at his son, feeling somewhat puzzled as to why this foolish son of his did not inherit his talent for harboring great love at all; why must there be an enemy just because the atmosphere at Niankong Villa is wrong? One must know that he, Gu Jiangming, is a ticking time bomb right now; even if there were ancient Supremes or those opportunistic existences who have ascended to immortality secretly spying on Gu Jiangming, they would have to weigh whether Gu Jiangming would find them and set a fire on them.

"The Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm can be regarded as a first-class realm for the Dao of Heaven and Earth to walk in the world."

"In such a realm, even if one is just feeling uneasy, it is enough to affect the changes of a place in Heaven and Earth."

"Just like those Enlightened Realm great demons some time ago, greed arose in their hearts, malice arose in their hearts, and in a trance, it was as if Heaven and Earth were brewing a killing intent; in their actions, they could even affect the changes of wind and clouds covering hundreds of miles."

"Your mother is also in the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm; her complex emotions naturally affect the vicinity of the villa."

To his son, Gu Jiangming still tries his best to explain as many insights into Heaven and Earth Enlightenment as possible; Gu Nianmo's talent is extremely high, and coupled with his possession of Qilin Divine Blood, in Gu Jiangming's view, Gu Nianmo is very likely to achieve Heaven and Earth Enlightenment before the age of thirty.

This age, if compared to Gu Jiangming or Liu Moran, naturally counts for nothing.

But Gu Jiangming's situation is special to begin with, and Liu Moran goes without saying; her own cultivation is already Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, and even if she has changed time and space, at most it is just a matter of re-cultivating once.

If one focuses on the world of Heaven and Earth, being able to achieve Heaven and Earth Enlightenment within a hundred years is already a peerless, monstrous talent.

His son, Gu Nianmo, has the potential to achieve Heaven and Earth Enlightenment before the age of thirty and truly occupy a place in this Heaven and Earth; how can that not be considered overflowing talent and unparalleled brilliance?

"But why would Mother be irritable?"

"My cultivation has also reached the point where I can touch the Dao of Heaven and Earth; these past few days, I have clearly sensed that killing intent is even gathering above Niankong Villa!"

"It can't be that Mother wants to kill someone in Niankong Villa, right?"

Gu Jiangming listened to his son's statement, and his expression began to look more and more wrong.

He suddenly came to his senses; perhaps it is not that Gu Nianmo has low emotional intelligence, but that this son of his is simply a natural airhead? Liu Moran brewing killing intent—isn't that a matter of course?

Clearly, Gu Jiangming has returned to Niankong Villa, and clearly, the family of three is already complete; no matter how one looks at it, this is an extremely good thing.

But...

But what is the meaning of you, Gu Jiangming, holding Gu Shengxi all day and going to heal Wang Qinghe from time to time? Even though it is in your own home, what is going on with a wild woman from outside coming to your home?

Even if she came to their home, Liu Moran could treat it as a good deed.

But you occasionally still let her, the mistress, watch you two being lovey-dovey; who could endure that?

It is only because Liu Moran still has her reason; otherwise, what Gu Nianmo would be seeing today would not be Gu Jiangming accompanying him to practice sword, but rather Gu Nianmo watching his father and mother stage a scene of total martial arts chaos.

"When you grow up, you will understand..."

Facing this son of his who is not very good at reading the atmosphere, Gu Jiangming is also somewhat helpless.

But how to say this?

His healing of Wang Qinghe is a serious matter; Gu Jiangming swears he absolutely had no intention of provoking Liu Moran.

Moreover, in the evenings, he is clearly dragged away by Liu Moran; although Wang Qinghe's temperament is different from Liu Moran's domineering nature, Wang Qinghe is also a woman. Seeing her man being dragged away every night, how do you expect Wang Qinghe to think? Clearly, before she arrived, Wang Qinghe and Liu Moran could coexist without interfering with each other.

But after he arrived, Gu Jiangming now wants to hide and walk away regardless of whether he sees Liu Moran or Wang Qinghe!

Wang Qinghe occupies most of his daytime, and Liu Moran occupies most of his nighttime; these two women cannot openly clash, but their secret tit-for-tat is not lacking in the slightest.

"In another period of time, I will leave Niankong Villa."

"Your cultivation has also reached the point where you can go out and venture; when the time comes, come out and walk around with me!"

Gu Jiangming does not want to dwell too much on this topic; what can Gu Jiangming do about the trouble Mie Changsheng caused? They are all his wives; if he cannot afford to offend them, Gu Jiangming can at least hide, right? Furthermore, Gu Jiangming is not making excuses; Wang Qinghe's injuries have almost recovered, Liu Moran does not look like she has any injuries either, and added to the fact that the interior of the Human Race is a mess, it is time for Gu Jiangming, this Red Lotus Demon Venerable, to go out and walk around.

"Then can I bring my younger brother?"

"If I don't see my younger brother for a long time, I will miss him."

Gu Nianmo has no opinion about following Gu Jiangming for training; cultivation is cultivation—the 'cultivate' is one part, and the 'travel' is another part.

Gu Nianmo has cultivated for seventeen years, and it is time for him to go out and walk around to see this world.

It is just...

It is just that Gu Nianmo's reaction is very wrong; in Gu Jiangming's view, it is extremely wrong.

He still has not figured out until now that, even though they are not brothers born of the same mother, Gu Nianmo has already initially displayed the qualities of a brother-complex...

But how could Gu Jiangming understand? Gu Nianmo suffered when he was young, and when he looks at Gu Shengxi, it is as if he sees himself in his youth.

Gu Nianmo was born with Qilin Divine Blood, and Gu Shengxi was born with a Supreme Bone; to others, they are both walking opportunities.

Gu Nianmo has been cultivating bitterly, thinking that one day he could also protect his mother; if he were to encounter such a scene as in his youth again, he would not be so helpless.

But Liu Moran's strength probably does not require him to protect her.

Since he cannot protect Liu Moran for the time being, Gu Nianmo wants to protect his younger brother well; if possible, he wants Gu Shengxi to have a childhood completely different from his own, rather than a childhood burdened with responsibility. "If I bring your younger brother, the entire Niankong Villa will probably have to follow us together..."

"In that case, what kind of training would that be?"

Gu Jiangming silently rolled his eyes; if he dared to bring Gu Shengxi, Wang Qinghe would dare to follow Gu Shengxi without leaving his side; if Wang Qinghe followed, could Liu Moran sit still? If Liu Moran could not sit still, everyone else in the entire Niankong Villa would probably follow Liu Moran as well.

"Come back and visit your younger brother occasionally!"

"Three days later, we will leave Niankong Villa."

Gu Jiangming looked at Gu Nianmo's reluctant eyes and sighed silently once more.

It seems I really still owe my son a lot; although I cannot take Sheng Xi with me, then let Nian Mo take Sheng Xi for a few more days!

As for my own kidneys...

Let the kidneys suffer a bit more!

As long as I leave Niankong Villa, everything will get better! Nian Mo did not know what kind of struggle his old father went through to make such a decision; hearing that he was to go out for training in three days, Nian Mo once again familiarly took Sheng Xi from Gu Jiangming's arms.

It is unknown if it was because of their blood connection, or if Sheng Xi also loved her older brother.

As Sheng Xi was held in Nian Mo's arms, Gu Jiangming could clearly hear Sheng Xi letting out bursts of giggles.

…………

"My injuries have mostly recovered; if you leave, I will also leave Niankong Villa."

"Although there are not many people left who dare to covet the Supreme Bone after that battle, the world is never short of such ambitious people."

"You also said that the Human Race of today cannot be trusted."

"I will establish another villa a thousand miles away from Niankong Villa."

Wang Qinghe looked at Gu Jiangming before her, then looked at Liu Moran over there, and only spoke softly while looking at Gu Jiangming.

Living under someone else's roof, plus the fact that Liu Moran had a real life-saving grace toward Wang Qinghe and her son, Wang Qinghe truly found it difficult to openly fight Liu Moran for a man.

But if she watched Gu Jiangming being pulled into a room by Liu Moran, Wang Qinghe also felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

Liu Moran was unwilling to stay in Niankong Villa for long; she had already prepared to leave Niankong Villa as well after Gu Jiangming departed.

It was just that Wang Qinghe was also clear about her own strength; even if she left Niankong Villa, she would be unable to go to more distant territories.

Gu Jiangming's battle outside Niankong Villa had indeed made the Demon Race of the world tremble with fear, but likewise, there were surely no lack of existences in this world who also wanted to break through to the Supreme realm, and the Supreme Bone on Sheng Xi was undoubtedly their target.

Wang Qinghe had also made up her mind that she must cultivate to the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm as soon as possible.

Without reaching the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm, in such a world, one ultimately does not even have the qualification to make one's own voice heard.

Fortunately, the aptitude of Wang Qinghe in this life was truly extraordinary; for others, the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm was something they could look at but never reach, but it was not too difficult for Wang Qinghe to break through.

"I will help you, Senior Brother, to go and take a look at the current Human Territory!"

"Whatever you, Senior Brother, want to do, just go ahead and do it!"

Liu Moran looked at the father and son, Gu Jiangming, who had finished tidying their attire and were standing at the main gate of Niankong Villa; she looked at Gu Jiangming, then looked at Nian Mo, and after a long while, she only said these words.

Nian Mo looked as if he still had some words he wanted to say to Liu Moran, but after Liu Moran finished speaking these words, she turned into a streak of rainbow light and headed toward the territory of the Human Territory.

She also had her own things to do; whether it was the past glory of the Northland Liu Family or her dissatisfaction with the current Human Race, both were driving Liu Moran to practice her own Dao.

As for whether she could bear to part with Nian Mo...

To say she could bear it would be a lie, but Liu Moran knew very well that a fledgling eagle must always soar alone.

On this day, Gu Jiangming took Nian Mo and left Niankong Villa, and it was also three hundred miles after Gu Jiangming and Nian Mo left Niankong Villa that cultivators began to continuously gather around Gu Jiangming and Nian Mo.

These people, these people were all members of the Human Race who had cultivated the Starfire Technique.

Some of them originally lived in the vicinity of Niankong Villa, and some had even come from the Human Territory.

Even though those few in the Enlightenment Realm within the Human Territory had been covering up Gu Jiangming's information, the number of cultivators within the Human Territory was already extremely vast; even if those in the Enlightenment Realm took action, it was impossible to completely seal off the news of Gu Jiangming.

To the Human Race cultivators who practiced the Starfire Technique, Gu Jiangming could be called their master.

Even though there were many in the Human Race who had already become corrupt, upon learning of Gu Jiangming's deeds, there were ultimately countless cultivators in the Human Race who stepped out.

They waited in the vicinity of Niankong Villa like pilgrims, hoping that Gu Jiangming would lead them to change this world.

【In Niankong Villa, you spent three leisurely months, but although you were physically in Niankong Villa, your heart was still concerned about the Human Race.】

【On this day, you reluctantly bid farewell to your romantic partner Wang Qinghe, bid farewell to your romantic partner Liu Moran, and began to walk the world with your offspring, Nian Mo.】

【Outside Niankong Villa, you encountered those cultivators who looked like pilgrims.】

【You really wanted to tell them that in this world, one should not beg anyone; a gentleman should take self-strengthening as his own responsibility.】

【But looking at the cultivators before you, the highest of whom were only at the Golden Core realm, you ultimately took back these words; you decided that on the journey ahead, you would tell these Human Race members who followed you the principle that as Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should unremittingly practice self-strengthening.】

【You know very well that while the power of one person is indeed strong, the power of the masses is also extraordinary.】

【You took your offspring and your followers and began to measure with your footsteps the land abandoned by the Human Territory; in a trance, you seemed to see through time the predecessors who had fought countless bloody battles on this land throughout history.】

【You walked through the Northland where the Human Race once resided; this is the territory where Niankong Villa is located. You took your offspring and followers and wiped out the Demon Race on this land that the Liu Family had guarded for generations.】

【You saw the sects of the Human Race; everything seemed not to have changed much, as the sects of the Human Race were still oppressing their own kin.】

【But this time, your strength was sufficient; whatever you wanted to do, no one could stop you anymore.】

【At least, it was so in the Northland, and it was so before those existences hidden in the dark took action!】
