Chapter 289: Heaven-Earth Phenomenon

Han Shan Cheng.

The divine beast egg shattered.

When the Kun-Peng emerged.

Han Shan Cheng was swept up in a huge tornado covering tens of li.

Rich spiritual energy gathered from all directions of Han Shan Cheng.

At the heart of the spiritual-energy tornado lay the Gu Family.

Hundreds of thousands of Han Shan Cheng's residents wanted to go out and watch, but under the tornado's pressure they could barely straighten their backs.

They hid in their houses, peeking out windows and staring at the Gu Family, their minds shaken.

"Good grief, what's going on?"

"Is someone about to break through to Martial Sovereign?"

"Come on, Han Shan Cheng has plenty of Martial Sovereigns; people have broken through before, so why such a huge commotion?"

"Could it be that someone from the Gu Family broke through to Martial King?"

Many people gathered in taverns with friends immediately began to discuss.

Not only them, but even the Five Great Families and the City Lord's mansion were greatly astonished.

Especially City Lord Liao Lun, who felt wave after wave of surprise.

From the start, Gu Han and Gu Chen jointly slew a Martial Sovereign, revealing their identities as sword and spear cultivators.

Later, Gu Han slew Jiang Tianyi and others, revealing a destructive power even he feared greatly.

Now even a Martial Sovereign cannot manifest the ability to alter heaven and earth.

"What is this fellow's limit, exactly?"

Liao Lun muttered to himself.

Just then, he suddenly heard a series of cracking sounds.

"Is this… the original stone storage?"

Liao Lun's heart jolted, and he hurriedly flew toward the City Lord's mansion's storage.

His anger surged even more.

Someone actually tried to steal the original stone from his City Lord's mansion amid the chaos—what audacity!

Does he think he doesn't exist?

Yet when he arrived at the storage, he found no trace of anyone.

Even the guards were still stationed at the storage door.

When the two guards saw the City Lord himself arrive, they hurriedly bowed.

But Liao Lun's attention was wholly on the storage.

This storage was personally overseen by him in its construction, and it has only one entrance.

If a thief could bypass the main door and enter the storage,

that would be terrifying!

He waved his hand, signaling the two guards to rise.

Immediately after, he strode straight into the storage.

As the storage doors opened, a thick spiritual energy rushed out!

Upon seeing the interior, Liao Lun's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief!

"How… is this possible?"

Indeed, there was no sign of any outsider inside the storage.

Yet the piles of supreme-grade original stone inside had all shattered in unison!

Rich spiritual energy seeped out from it, filling the entire storage.

That spiritual energy was so dense it had condensed into substance.

The liquefied spiritual liquid had already covered the floor!

And the moment he opened the storage doors, the spiritual energy inside surged wildly outward.

As if racing each other, it rushed into the spiritual-energy tornado.

"The Gu Family's commotion has even caused the City Lord's mansion's original stone to scatter uncontrollably!"

Liao Lun could no longer recall how many times the Gu Family's affairs had left him flustered.

"Gu Family, just what are you up to?"

Moreover, the Gu Family's and the Five Great Families' many original stones also shattered at this moment!

The Five Great Families' officials in charge of resources immediately lamented.

They hurriedly moved the stored original stones into their storage rings.

But in this short time, the families suffered huge losses!

"Damn it, damn it, who did this?!"

The elders in charge of resources from all the great families flew into a rage, berating their clansmen and urging them to investigate quickly.

But when the investigation results came back,

they wilted like frost‑struck eggplants!

It was actually the Gu Family that caused such a huge commotion!

"What kind of dumb luck does the Gu Family have? Even having two unparalleled geniuses isn't enough—they actually produced such a heaven‑earth phenomenon!"

"Either the Gu Family has a Martial Emperor‑bearing descendant incarnated, or Gu Han broke through in spear technique, or Gu Chen broke through in sword technique!"

These three are merely their guesses.

Perhaps the heavenly pride with the bearing of a Martial Emperor descends into the world, capable of causing such terrifying heaven-and-earth phenomena.

Afterwards, they merely knew that the two were a spear cultivator and a sword cultivator.

Given their limited perspective, they had never seen the phenomena that would be caused when a sword cultivator masters sword momentum.

No matter which speculation, it all indicates that the Gu Family will rise again in a single leap!

The Gu Family, being at the center of the storm, also noticed this change.

But in stark contrast to the reactions of other families, the Gu family members' first reaction was sheer delight!

"Quick, quick, take out all the raw stones, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and any medicinal pills usable for cultivation!"

Gu Ren immediately issued the order at First Moment.

All clan members hid nothing, and promptly brought out all their stores.

Not even a single low-grade raw stone was exempt!

Some children also took out their favorite snacks, hoping to help a bit.

The clan members did not know who caused this commotion.

But whoever it was, it was done by a member of the Gu Family!

As fellow clansmen, they naturally would do everything they could to help!

After a moment, the spirit qi tornado gradually dissipated.

The entire Han Shan Cheng immediately sprang into action, stirring up a heated discussion.

And all members of the Gu Family also began to seek out who caused this commotion.

Soon, the Gu family members' attention fell upon Gu Han's small courtyard!

After this heaven-and-earth phenomenon, only Gu Han remained unseen.

Moreover, Gu Chen, Gu Qianyue, and others nearest to Gu Han's small courtyard also noticed its abnormality.

But Gu Han's reputation within the Gu Family is now extraordinarily outstanding.

Even though Gu Xiao Dao is the Family Head, his prestige within the Gu Family likely cannot compare to Gu Han's.

Therefore, although many people's attention is focused on Gu Han's small courtyard.

But no one dares to approach it rashly.

But they do not know that, at this very moment, Gu Han's small courtyard is in a state of chaotic uproar.

"Older brother, when did you give birth to a big fat child?"

Gu Pan gleefully pinched Kun-Peng's round cheeks, laughing as she cast aside the previously scolded emotions,

"What about your sister-in-law? Why didn't you bring her back?"

Although after the Six Phase Profound Ice Holy Body's seal release increased, Gu Pan's icy aura became even stronger than before.

But in front of her closest family, she remains an innocent and carefree child.

Xu Xin Zhu happily embraced her own plump grandson, feeling that life had reached its peak.

"Little Han, the children have already been brought back; when will you bring your wife home so Mother can see her?"

"Don't worry, Mother isn't one of those stubborn old fogeys."

"As long as you and the child's mother truly love each other, Mother will absolutely not separate you!"
