Chapter 12 Clouds Gather From All Directions, and Three Days Later, the Purple Bamboo Forest
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 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.
