Chapter 12 Clouds Gather From All Directions, and Three Days Later, the Purple Bamboo Forest@@novelbin@@
After many of the younger Gu family members landed, the void suddenly twisted and blurred. An elder dressed in a golden robe stepped out. His expression was indifferent as he addressed the cultivators below:
“In three days, our Gu family’s Divine Son will be selecting followers in the Purple Bamboo Forest of Ancient Mulberry City. Those interested may come.”
His words were not loud, yet they carried the weight of thunder, reverberating across the entire market.
Boom!
Instantly, the place erupted. Everyone’s eyes widened, and their breaths became hurried.
The person selecting followers is actually the Gu family’s Divine Son?
Was he the one whose birth had caused terrifying phenomena?
As soon as the words were spoken, the golden-robed elder did not linger. With a flick of his robe, he vanished into the void.
“Farewell, Elder!”
The young Gu family members present paid their respects.
“Ah, so it’s in three days. It seems we came too early. I’ll need to report back to the master,” a young man from the Gu family murmured. He was tall and strong, with flashes of lightning-like symbols occasionally flickering in his eyes, exuding a powerful aura.
Many of the cultivators below him were struck with a sense of awe.
Gu Lei!
A renowned young talent in the outer world, said to possess the Thunder Spirit Body. He had undergone body refining in the Thunder Tribulation under the guidance of their family’s powerful elders, making his physique incredibly formidable.
His cultivation had reached the Ninth Transformation of the Earth Cracking Realm, with one foot already in the Heaven Splitting Realm.
The ‘master’ he referred to—who could it be?
“The Divine Son is selecting followers. I wonder if he will choose anyone from within the family…”
“I had hoped to see him today, but it seems we must wait three more days,” a woman lamented.
Other young Gu family members who had come with similar expectations also shared this sentiment. After all, Gu Changsheng’s status was so extraordinary. Though his cultivation level was unknown, the immense disturbances he had caused over the years were etched in the minds of every family member.
Becoming his follower meant drawing closer to the Gu family’s invincible techniques and unparalleled legacies.
Moreover, the allocation of resources was also a tempting factor.
Not to mention the future potential it offered.
Thus, many of the Gu family members exchanged looks, each recognizing a shared sense of anticipation and longing.
Soon, the news of the Divine Son selecting followers in three days spread throughout Ancient Mulberry City and even to the surrounding ancient cities.
Many affiliated forces could no longer sit idle. They hurriedly sent their most talented disciples to Ancient Mulberry City.
This was no joke—this was the Gu family’s Divine Son, the future heir of the Immortal Gu Family.
Becoming his follower would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that could lead to unimaginable fortunes.
In the Huan Yan Sword Sect, a young, graceful girl with a sword on her back and a determined expression clenched her delicate fist and spoke to the elder and sect master in front of her, “Don’t worry. I will do my best to impress the Divine Son and become his follower, restoring the glory of our Huan Yan Sword Sect!”
“Go ahead,” the old sect master said with a satisfied nod, gently patting the girl’s head.
As the girl walked further away, a disciple sighed, “Our sect’s successor, whom we’ve nurtured so painstakingly, is now reduced to being someone else’s follower. It’s hard not to feel some reluctance.”
“Perhaps the Divine Son won’t even notice her…” an elder said with a self-deprecating smile.
In the Jingyang Dynasty, a majestic man in a golden dragon robe looked lovingly at the tall, exquisite woman in front of him. Hearing the news, he said, “Xiao Jiu, this selection by the Divine Son of the Gu Family is of unprecedented importance. It’s our last hope.”
“Our Jingyang Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, but the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom has developed too quickly, growing stronger by the day. It won’t be long before they devour our dragon energy and lead Jingyang to its downfall…”
“The emperor knows you understand. You were born with the Emperor’s Body, destined to be an emperor. I know it’s hard for you to follow someone else…”
The beautiful woman shook her head, her long hair swirling with the motion, and replied seriously, “Jingyang gave me life and raised me, investing countless resources in my growth. It is my duty to protect it, no matter the cost.”
The man smiled, gratified. “Xiao Jiu, you truly understand. Your words bring great comfort to this father.”
“However, I fear that the Divine Son may not choose you…” he added with a slight smile.
The woman’s brow furrowed, and a royal aura emanated from her, “That is impossible. I am confident I am no weaker than anyone in the world.”
In a fallen small family, a young man clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes filled with boundless ambition. He murmured, “This is a great opportunity to restore our family’s glory. I’m going to secure this chance to become a follower.”
Similar scenes unfolded throughout the Nansheng Dao Realm and the surrounding areas.
Every day, countless beams of divine light flew from all directions, or ancient war chariots rumbled across the sky, carrying massive ancient beasts towards Ancient Mulberry City.
The city was crowded, buzzing with excitement.
The Immortal Family had stood at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Dao Realms, commanding vast lands.
With such profound strength, the fact that the Divine Son of the Gu family was selecting followers was naturally a monumental event.
Three days soon passed in the blink of an eye.
Ancient Mulberry City, Purple Bamboo Forest.
This ancient bamboo forest, located in the eastern part of the city, was once the secluded retreat of a Gu family ancestor. After that ancestor disappeared, it became a place of celebration for the family.
It was like a world unto itself!
Mist drifted through the air, the mountains were breathtaking, immortal birds flew gracefully, auspicious beasts roamed, creating a scene akin to an immortal realm.
As the Purple Bamboo Forest opened, thousands upon thousands of cultivators poured in.
