Chapter 478: Extra: I actually reincarnated
【Extra about the second cub in the original book, the author has much heartache for this character, opened a separate chapter for him, wrote down his path. May our second cub kill decisively in the new continent, live wantonly and happily.】
The sacred mountain shrouded in fairy mist.
A towering building like a temple stood on it, looking from afar, like a pavilion in the air.
At this time, it is bustling inside the building.
"Madam is about to give birth! Pregnant for two years, finally about to give birth!!"
"Yes, yes, if not born, don't know how the family head will go crazy."
"Shh, lower your voice, want to die."
"Don't worry, today the young master is about to be born, the family head won't be angry, what's more, if Madam gives birth smoothly, there will be rewards for us."
"If there are rewards, that would be too good, my cultivation is stuck at the level, urgently need some resources, Madam must give birth smoothly. Lord Heaven, you must protect our young master to be born smoothly..."
Under the prayers of everyone.
A large cloud of auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, then suddenly started to rain.
Spiritual rain fell, hundreds of flowers bloomed, emitting a floral fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.
People drank it, the realm loosened, and some even broke through directly.
A surprised voice rang out, "I broke through! This spiritual rain is truly miraculous!!"
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, hurriedly reaching out to catch the rain.
At this moment, the main hall shot out dazzling golden light, rushing straight into the clouds.
Then, a heroic laughter rang out.
"My Gu family has successors, hahahahahaha."
"Such a vision! My son will surely become a strong person!!"
The movement even alarmed the clan elders of the family.
Several figures appeared suddenly.
"What's the situation?"
The clansman who was good at divination looked at the newborn's face, almost blinded by the light of merit that was like a small sun.
"Incredible!" He exclaimed, "How can this child have such deep light of merit!"
As soon as the words came out, a winged spiritual beast appeared in the family, throwing the vermilion fruit it held in its mouth onto the swaddling clothes.
The baby was inexplicably smashed and cried out.
Who smashed the ghost!!
Gu Zhihang scolded impatiently, but what came out was crying, his expression cracked, very shocked.
What's the situation!?
"Old ancestor, my son cried, what should be done!!" The Gu family head was flustered, holding the son he finally got, not knowing what to do.
The moment the words came out, he saw the ancestor send the vermilion fruit to the baby's mouth.
The cute baby with carved powder and jade opened his pink tender mouth, sucked the vermilion fruit, and stopped crying.
Eh, what is this, quite delicious.
Gu Zhihang sucked non-stop, his stomach full of doubts, opened his eyes and looked around.
What came into view was a big face with sword eyebrows and star eyes, black eyebrows, very bright eyes, hair was actually long, black and dense, a bit like a character in a costume drama.
Gu Zhihang frowned.
He wouldn't... reincarnate into ancient times, right?
"My son frowned, what is worrying, tell Dad, Dad will share your worries."
Gu Zhihang: "??"
This is his dad in this life?
Looking at the love in the other's eyes, joy appeared from the bottom of his heart in the child's black and white eyes.
"Ya~~" 【478-43
Looking at the affection in the other's eyes, the child's black-and-white eyes filled with heartfelt joy.
"Ya~~"
"My child is calling for his father; my child is truly clever!" the handsome man with black hair and black eyes said in a clear, resonant voice.
He lifted the swaddling clothes high, his laughter like thunder, "My child is truly intelligent, he will surely achieve great things, he will surely achieve great things, hahahahaha."
Just as he was laughing, he was slapped away, and the red swaddling clothes with gold patterns flew out, landing in the hands of an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
"This is my grandson who was unwilling to be born. Good child, truly a good child of my Gu family, he will surely lead my Gu family to stand proudly above the Nine Provinces Continent. Good, good." The old man laughed loudly.
The young man who had been slapped away hurried over, "Father, please keep your voice down, don't frighten my treasure."
The old man looked at him, "Treasure?"
"Yes, the nickname I gave him. Does it sound good? I think it sounds quite good. My child is the hope of the family and also the apple of my eye," the young man said righteously.
Hearing these words in his ears, Gu Zhihang's small brain finally cleared.
It seemed he had been reborn.
These people before him were strange, and they could even fly. Was it ancient light-body technique, or were they immortals?
He was full of questions.
After sucking down the sweet fruit, his belly bulged, and the infant in the swaddling clothes yawned and fell asleep immediately.
"My treasure has fallen asleep, he is truly well-behaved. Father, return my child to me; I want to take him back to the room. I haven't seen the child for a while, and my wife must be worried," the current head of the Gu family, who was also the young man who had just become a father, urged.
The old man touched his grandson's cheek with his fingertip, his voice softening, "My grandson is indeed well-behaved; let his nickname be Guaibao."
The Gu family head thought that was fine, nodded, and then carried his son back to the room.
Just as he left, a servant came to report that many strange things had appeared outside the barrier of the mountains.
Several elder clansmen looked at each other, their figures flashing and disappearing from where they stood.
Upon arriving outside the barrier, they saw a pile of rare spirit fruits and spirit herbs.
"This..."
The clansmen looked at each other in dismay. The youngest among them had lived for over three hundred years and had seen many things, but this was the first time they had seen such an event.
"What is the meaning of this?" Gu Zhihang's grandfather's voice was majestic.
One person stepped forward, took out the retrospection mirror from outside the barrier, and publicly replayed the previous scene.
Everyone saw that those good things on the ground had actually been brought by spirit beasts from the Demon Mountain.
"To have such a strange occurrence—I have lived for five hundred years and have never heard of fierce beasts sending treasures to the territory of human cultivators. How strange."
"Indeed, what could this be about? I have never seen it either; it is truly strange."
One of the elders reacted quickly, waved his hand to set up a barrier, and said to the family members, "Could it have been brought by Guaibao? If there is anything different today, it is the birth of the young master. That true spirit rain, and the astonishing light of merit on his body—all of these indicate that there is something unusual about him."
The oldest ancestor glanced at him, and this glance was truly earth-shattering and chilling.
"What is unusual?" His tone was calm, yet it carried an indisputable majesty, "The children of my Gu family are favored by the Heavenly Dao; it is the fortune of the Gu family. That the Gu family has such a child, you all should be rejoicing. Do not let this master hear you say such unpleasant things again."
The person who had spoken out of turn bowed deeply, "Yes, this junior has been taught."
"Dismissed."
Everyone dispersed.
The spirit herbs and spirit fruits sent by the spirit beasts were collected into a mustard space, becoming Gu Guaibao's private property.
Time flew by, and Gu Guaibao was three years old.
He was already a toddler with a two-head-tall stature, with exquisite features, fair skin, and lively, expressive eyes. He usually wore a small crimson brocade robe, his face was chubby with baby fat, and his arms and hands were soft, looking endearingly naive.
"Young Master."
"Young Master, where are you? Please answer; if I lose you, I will be punished again."
The little toddler sat in the tree, looking down at the anxious person on the ground, broke off a branch, and threw it down.
"So annoying, I just want some peace and quiet; can you stop making noise?"
The person under the tree looked up and saw his young master with a face full of joy.
The young master's cultivation had improved again!
"Young Master, you are in the tree." After speaking, he said nervously and anxiously, "It's so dangerous in the tree; what if you fall? Wait there, I will..."
Just as the person speaking was about to jump up, Gu Guaibao ordered, "You are not allowed to come up!"
"... Oh."
Gu Guaibao continued, "And you are not allowed to speak; let me have some peace."
"Then, then you must be careful, don't fall."
Gu Guaibao, who was a full-fledged adult at heart, ignored him.
These three years were enough for him to figure out where he was.
He had been reborn in a place called the Nine Provinces Continent. This was a magical place where one could cultivate, with immortals, humans, demons, many sects, and secret realms...
Everything that was in cultivation novels was here.
His luck was good; the Gu family he was born into was a great cultivation clan, with countless powerful members, and he was a little master wherever he went.
Unfortunately...
Thinking of the name "Guaibao," which had no momentum at all, Gu Zhihang felt incredibly stifled.
He was already three years old and still didn't have a proper name; who could endure this?
Every time the Gu family head finished his work, he would come to see his precious son. As soon as he arrived, he saw the little toddler sitting in the tree swinging his legs. The child's chubby cheeks were puffed out, looking as if he were angry, which was truly quite cute.
The man's old father's heart almost melted.
His son was the cutest in the Nine Provinces.
"Treasure, why are you sitting here alone? Are you unhappy?" The Gu family head's figure flickered, and he appeared beside Gu Guaibao.
"When will you give me a proper name!" Gu Guaibao said loudly, but because he was young, his voice was milky and soft, as soft as it could be.
It had a feeling of being both fierce and cute.
"What's the rush? You're only three years old, no rush..."
The little toddler looked over with calm eyes and said word by word, "I am in a rush! I want a proper name!"
Seeing his son was in a rush, the Gu family head couldn't bear for him to be unhappy, so he smiled and rubbed his son's little head, "There is one. My child naturally has a proper name, already recorded in the ancestral land. You are called Gu Zhihang, named by your grandfather, hoping my child will be like a gentleman of jade."
The little child in the tree stopped swinging his legs and looked at his father in this life in surprise.
The same.
Exactly the same as his name.
"My child, are you..."
Before the words "don't like this name" could be spoken, Gu Zhihang smiled with curved eyebrows, his eyes bright, "I like it, I like this name, thank you Father, Father is truly good."
He had memories when he was just born, felt very strange to this world, and couldn't feel close to his parents in this life. However, his parents were very good to him, so good that they slowly made him let down his guard and accept them from the bottom of his heart.
The Gu family head laughed heartily, picked up his son, and placed him on his shoulder.
"Why is my child being so polite with Father? You are my child, you should be able to roam this continent without restraint; everyone must give way to my child."
Gu Zhihang: "..."
It was fortunate that he had memories; otherwise, if his father continued to spoil him like this, he would eventually spoil him into a disaster.
The Gu family was strong, but not strong enough to be the only one in power. The Nine Provinces Continent was occupied by various forces, with countless strong people; if one were arrogant without ability, one would eventually kick an iron plate.
"Sigh." The three-year-old toddler sighed softly.
"Why is my child sighing? Is there something on your mind? Isn't there a proper name now? Are you still unhappy?" the Gu family head said.
"No." Gu Zhihang was used to his father's nervousness about him and was not surprised.
The Gu family head felt his son was too sensible and felt even more sorry for him, "Doesn't my child like to go to Phoenix City to watch the excitement? Tomorrow, tomorrow Father and Mother will take you, how about that?"
Phoenix City was human territory, and it was very lively there.
Gu Zhihang pressed his head against his father's head and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."
The Gu family head's smile deepened.
"Father, I miss Grandfather." Gu Zhihang poked his father's face with his short, fleshy fingers and said gloomily.
"Your grandfather has been away for half a year and should be back soon. It's almost your birthday, if he doesn't come back soon, he'll miss it." The Gu family head's words were soothing, "Your grandfather said he would catch you a Frost Beast as a mount. That little thing is powerful and will surely accompany my child to roam the entire Nine Provinces in the future!"
Gu Zhihang, a tiny little thing, lay on his father's head, his thoughts already having run off to who knows where.
The family head's wife saw this scene from afar, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of tenderness.
"What's wrong with Guaibao?" she asked with a smile.
"Mother." Gu Zhihang showed a smile on his beautifully carved face.
The woman with a stunning appearance held the little person in her arms, her expression becoming even more tender, "You haven't been unhappy today, have you?"
"Mother, Father said I have a proper name, my proper name is Gu Zhihang, would Mother call me by my proper name from now on?" The toddler spoke in a milky voice that made people want to love him.
The woman frowned slightly, "What if Mother doesn't want to change, and still wants to call you Guaibao?"
The child's beautiful little face wrinkled into a ball, and he said reluctantly, "Okay, okay then."
The woman couldn't bear for her precious son, whom she had finally waited for, to be unhappy, so she quickly said, "How about Mother calls you Hengbao?"
Gu Zhihang was stunned.
Hengbao.
Another gentle face seemed to appear before his eyes; that was also his mother.
Before his memory disappeared, he heard what she said; his mother had paid a great price to protect him.
Otherwise, how could he, who had voluntarily given up his soul, have this brand-new life?
The Good Luck Talisman, Mother's love—he could feel it every moment.
"Okay." Gu Zhihang nodded.
He insisted on getting down, and after standing on the ground, he looked up at his parents in this life, "Father, Mother, what should I do if the person I want to see is not in this world?"
The Gu family head's eyes deepened slightly, soon replaced by kindness. He half-squatted down and gently placed his hands on his son's small shoulders.
"Work hard to cultivate and ascend; you will eventually see the person you want to see."
Gu Zhihang blinked a few times, "I will remember that."
From this day on, the Gu family's gifted young master cultivated even more diligently, and with it, his cultivation improved day by day.
In a short time, he became a leader among his peers, and the name of a genius soon spread.
When he was a little older, he went to various dangerous places to train, and every time he went somewhere, he always had a rich harvest.
Treasures that others could not get even if they begged for them always appeared before him, either actively or passively.
Slowly, the rumor that the Gu family young master of the Cangwu Realm had monstrous luck became rampant. Some geniuses were unconvinced and came to provoke him, only to be defeated in one move. If they hadn't had some means, they would have almost lost their lives. After such things happened many times, Gu Zhihang's reputation for being hard to provoke spread...
On this day, Gu Zhihang obtained another treasure in a secret realm. There were a few drops of scarlet blood on his cheeks, and he sat quietly on the Demon Mountain in black clothes, with the Frost Beast his grandfather had given him by his side.
"What is this? It looks like a mirror." Gu Zhihang pondered this newly obtained treasure for a long time. Even though he had dripped blood on it and left a soul mark, it was still useless.
He threw the mirror to the side, leaned back, and simply lay on the ground looking at the sky.
"If it were that guy, he would probably love this kind of life very much," Gu Zhihang murmured.
Big Brother would probably like it too, Zhiqian would probably be interested in alchemy, Zhiyao... I can't guess yet, and Mom and Dad, they definitely wouldn't think that he was living well in another world and had even become a famous genius—the configuration of a novel protagonist!
The years of cultivation were long. Gu Zhihang knew he should forget the people in that world, but... his heart was restless, and he always wanted to see them again, even if it was just once.
The Frost Beast bumped its head against its master's arm.
"You don't know him; he is an old friend of mine, an old friend whom it might be difficult to see again," Gu Zhihang patted his partner's head.
He had been reincarnated and had become an independent immortal; he should be able to appear in the same space-time as that guy, right?
Gu Zhihang thought uncertainly.
In a corner that no one noticed, the mirror that had been thrown on the ground by its master lit up...
