A fierce beast of the ninth layer in the Taoist Palace Realm let out a wail, only to be instantly slain by a blade qi. The one who struck was a child, dressed in fine clothes, with a charming and delicate appearance.
Gu Xiu nodded slightly, looking at his fourth younger brother, his face full of satisfaction.
He also felt a bit emotional.
A five-year-old child.
Could easily slay a fierce beast of the ninth layer in the Taoist Palace Realm.
Thinking back to when he was five, he was still playing foolishly, completely incomparable.
But it’s something that can’t be helped.
Gu Xianlin was born a Saint, possessing a top-tier Divine Body. If it weren’t for Gu Qingfeng’s seal at his birth, he would have already summoned the Saint Heavenly Tribulation.
Yet even through these years, Gu Xianlin hadn’t increased his cultivation, but all kinds of divine skills came to him almost effortlessly.
"Third brother, I want to have a match with you!"
Gu Xianlin looked at Gu Xiu, his little face full of eagerness.
Gu Xiu laughed and shook his head upon hearing this: "Fighting me, you’re still lacking a bit. Wait until you’ve overcome the Saint Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Hmph, the Saint Heavenly Tribulation... If it weren’t for father’s seal, I would have long since crossed it!"
Upon hearing these words, Gu Xianlin furrowed his brows, his little face showing some discontent.
Facing Gu Qingfeng’s seal, even he himself had no way of breaking through.
So for all these years, Gu Xianlin had remained stuck at the ninth layer of the Taoist Palace Realm, unable to progress.
Gu Xiu said: "The Saint Heavenly Tribulation is no ordinary event. Father’s sealing of your cultivation is to allow you to better settle into the Taoist Palace Realm.
Otherwise, if something went wrong during the tribulation, even father might not be able to intervene.
However, as I see it, it shouldn’t be long before father lifts the seal on you."
"Your current strength surpasses many at the ninth layer of the Taoist Palace Realm and even some Semi-Saints, so further settling before crossing the Saint Heavenly Tribulation shouldn’t be an issue!"
Gu Xiu indeed did not lie.
Gu Xianlin’s current strength indeed crushed many Semi-Saints. For many Semi-Saints, the fierce beast of the ninth layer in the Taoist Palace Realm present would be tricky.
But he could easily slay it, enough to demonstrate his power.
Hearing this, Gu Xianlin’s face naturally lit up with joy, and then he looked towards the heavens, unable to resist saying.
"Third brother, I’ve always heard that the chaos is vast, and this Ancient Desolate World is rather dull. Why not take me to roam the chaos, brother?"
Gu Xiu pondered slightly, then shook his head.
"Chaos is perilous. Despite the Demon Clan having been destroyed, there are still many unpredictable dangers, better to avoid it.
If something were to happen, I can’t withstand father’s wrath."
Gu Xianlin is the treasure of the Gu Family now, if something were to happen, Gu Xiu didn’t dare to imagine how it would be.
So-called punishment would likely be unavoidable.
Seeing Gu Xiu’s firm attitude, Gu Xianlin felt a bit displeased but had no choice.
This third brother was sent by the family to watch over him, even if he wanted to enter the chaos, Gu Xiu’s disapproval meant he couldn’t possibly go alone.
"This boy, so restless at such a young age!"
Within the Gu Family, Gu Qingfeng swept his Divine Thought over, his mouth holding a smile, feeling quite helpless towards this youngest son.
It wouldn’t be long before he would lift the seal on Gu Xianlin, allowing him to cross the Saint Heavenly Tribulation.
"A five-year-old child, capable of subduing many Semi-Saints, the Ancient Divine Body is truly formidable!"
Unlike the divine bodies of others, the Ancient Divine Body on Gu Xianlin was born directly at Great Success.
Born with a Divine Body Great Success!
From ancient times till now, such a thing has never happened.
This is also why Gu Xianlin’s power is so formidable.
This is still because Gu Xianlin hasn’t fully familiarized himself with the power of the Ancient Divine Body, otherwise, with his Great Success in the Ancient Divine Body, he could even battle a Saint.
Gu Qingfeng sealed Gu Xianlin’s cultivation, imparting the Gu Family’s legacy to him, and then sent him to the Ancient Xia Family to receive guidance from Xia Tianjun.
He had Gu Xiu protect and lead Gu Xianlin to undergo some training in the Ancient Desolate World.
Although Gu Xianlin hadn’t truly mastered the power of the Ancient Divine Body, he has at least familiarized himself with it a bit, and crossing the Saint Heavenly Tribulation should not be a major issue.
Towards this fourth son, Gu Qingfeng has some vague speculation.
That is——the Child of Destiny!
"It is said that in every era, there will be a so-called Child of Destiny, who embodies the Qi Fortune of the Heavenly Dao to lead an era."
Gu Qingfeng recalled the records of the Child of Destiny in his mind.
Every era’s Child of Destiny is different.
For instance, the Taiyi Divine Lord during the Ancient Times was the so-called Child of Destiny.
Gu Qingfeng originally thought Gu Yang would be the Child of Destiny.
Perhaps Gu Xianlin is the true Child of Destiny.
As for himself, Gu Qingfeng thinks he does not belong to the category of a Child of Destiny.
After all, his talent was not high originally, and to have reached this point is due to the attribute panel, a method not found in this Chaotic Universe.
Gu Qingfeng naturally excluded himself.
If he is not the Child of Destiny.
Then it can only be Gu Xianlin.
"When chaos faces crisis, a stronger Child of Destiny will emerge, and now it seems Gu Xianlin is such a one!"
