Gu Clan, Gu Realm.
Over the past two years, the Gu Clan had been immersed in a state of immense joy. The reason was that the new generation of the Gu Clan had been born one after another, and their talent was each more powerful than the last!
This proved one thing.
That was, the Dou Di bloodline of their Gu Clan was still considerably rich and thick!
One must know that the Eight Ancient Clans, including the already annihilated Xiao Clan, all attached extreme importance to their own Dou Di bloodline. Why did Xiao Xuan risk everything in a desperate gamble a thousand years ago?
Wasn't it because the power of the bloodline in his descendants was nearing exhaustion, and he wanted to impact the Dou Di realm to thereby rekindle the Dou Di bloodline within the bodies of his clansmen?
Otherwise, with the strength of the Xiao Clan back then, remaining at their peak for another one or two thousand years would absolutely not have been a problem.
After all, as long as Xiao Xuan and the other Dou Sheng experts of the Xiao Clan were still around, even if the descendants were all mediocre talents, the Xiao Clan could still stand tall upon the Dou Qi Continent.
However, this was ultimately not a long-term solution.
Once Xiao Xuan and these Dou Sheng experts of the Xiao Clan passed away, the Xiao Clan might truly not even be able to preserve their status as an ancient clan. Therefore, without the benefit of knowing the future, it could not really be said that Xiao Xuan's decision was wrong.
How could Xiao Xuan back then have ever imagined that breaking through to Dou Di required a ghostly thing like Origin Qi? However, Xiao Xuan's failure to break through did let Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan know about this point.
Returning to the present, from this, it could be seen just how important the power of the bloodline was to these ancient clans.Right now, the younger generation of the Gu Clan still possessed such a rich and thick power of the bloodline, so how could the higher-ups of the Gu Clan not be happy?
Especially when the daughter of the Gu Clan's Clan Leader, Gu Xun'er, who was himself at the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, was born, it caused the entire Gu Clan to boil with excitement.
One must know that under circumstances where the cultivation level was higher, it was actually much harder to give birth to descendants.
But once these people with high cultivation levels did give birth to descendants, nine times out of ten, their descendants' talent would be completely maxed out. Sure enough, just when Gu Xun'er was born, her bloodline power was tested to be at the Eighth-Grade!
What kind of concept was this? This was a height that the majority of people from the ancient clans could not reach in their entire lifetimes!
Yet, this was merely Gu Xun'er's starting point.
In other words, Gu Xun'er's starting point had already surpassed the ending point of ninety-nine percent of the people in the ancient clans.
Without the slightest exaggeration, Gu Xun'er, who was born with an eighth-tier bloodline, had a very high probability of being able to advance to a Divine-Grade bloodline in the future!
The possessors of a Divine-Grade bloodline, as long as they did not perish halfway, their baseline would at least be a Dou Sheng. Even the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng had a minor probability of being reached.
It could be said that in the eyes of the Gu Clan's higher-ups, Gu Xun'er's existence could guarantee that the Gu Clan would extend their peak for another two thousand years. Tell me, how could the upper and lower ranks of the Gu Clan not be filled with joy and boiling with excitement?
However, while the upper and lower ranks of the Gu Clan were happy, Gu Xun'er, who was the person concerned, could not feel happy at all.
Because the high expectations of the clansmen were pinned upon her body, this resulted in Gu Xun'er being forced to learn all kinds of things all day long ever since she had memories.
If it weren't for the fact that her age was too young and unsuitable for cultivation, Gu Xun'er would likely have already been forced to start cultivating by the higher-ups of the Gu Clan!
Although Gu Xun'er herself did not reject cultivation, this feeling of being forced by others was truly too uncomfortable.
Even if she could not cultivate, she was still forced by the higher-ups of the Gu Clan to learn all kinds of theoretical cultivation knowledge, plus management knowledge for the entire Gu Clan, all day long.
This made Gu Xun'er's daily routine incomparably orderly!
Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, it was just learning, without a single bit of her own private time. But one must know, she was only a bit over two years old right now, not even three years old yet!
Once she reached the age of four where she could start cultivating, Gu Xun'er felt that even her sleeping time would likely be stripped away.
It was precisely because of this that it caused Gu Xun'er to be depressed and unhappy all day long. After all, who could be happy if they were forced to do all kinds of learning ever since they were born and had memories?
However, Gu Xun'er also knew her own identity.
As the daughter of the Gu Clan's Clan Leader, some things, she simply had to do.
Therefore, even though she didn't like it, she still forced herself to learn.
It was clear to see that this was an exceptionally well-behaved and sensible girl. Mm, even after growing up and getting married, she would likely be the very model of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Gu Xun'er's behavior was actually something that Gu Yuan, as her father, saw clearly in his eyes. Regarding his daughter's situation, his heart also ached for her, and he wanted to let his daughter grow up happily.
However, Gu Yuan was ultimately not Hun Tiandi.
Someone like Hun Tiandi, as an expert at the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, did whatever he wanted, completely making the Hun Clan his own one-man government. As for any claims that the Elders' Council could restrict him?
Then he would just make those elders disappear.
Therefore, within the Hun Clan, the words spoken by Hun Tiandi were the ultimate law!
But Gu Yuan was different.
Though he was also an expert at the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, to put it nicely, Gu Yuan's personality was relatively soft, and he would listen to the opinions of his clansmen, but to put it bluntly, it was just weakness!
As one of the three peak experts of the grand continent, and furthermore the Clan Leader of the Gu Clan, he was actually restricted by a group of elders within the clan?
What a joke!
One must know that apart from Gu Yuan, the second strongest expert of the Gu Clan, the Eight-Star Dou Sheng Black Submerged King Gu Lie, supported him with full strength. Yet even so, Gu Yuan was unable to suppress all the elders of the Gu Clan, so wouldn't you say he was worthless?
Truly, Gu Yuan was a slacker to the outside and worthless on the inside, making it genuinely hard to imagine how he had cultivated to the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng plus Emperor Realm Soul.
One could only say, perhaps the guy really just purely possessed that kind of cultivation talent. Otherwise, it couldn't explain how a person with this type of personality could reach the peak of the Dou Qi Continent!
On this day, Gu Yuan came to look for his daughter. As a result, he discovered that his daughter had actually fallen asleep from exhaustion in the middle of her learning process!
At this moment, a decision was finally made in Gu Yuan's heart.
"Xun'er."
Gu Yuan's call echoed beside Gu Xun'er's ear.
"Mmh~, Father, ah? How did I fall asleep? This won't do, I haven't finished reading all of these things yet!"
Opening her eyes in a daze, Gu Xun'er saw her father, and at the same time, she also saw a scroll of books placed right in front of her.
That was something the elders within the clan had handed over to her, wanting her to master!
Snap
However, just when Gu Xun'er wanted to continue reading the book, Gu Yuan reached out at this moment and snatched it away.
"Father?"
Seeing this, Gu Xun'er revealed a puzzled expression.
"Don't read it anymore, Xun'er, these things are not what you should be shouldering at your age."
Gu Yuan said with a darkened face.
Apart from the first year right after she was born, for the subsequent near two years, his daughter had spent her days just like this, and Gu Yuan could no longer endure it at this moment!
"Father, how can this be fine?"
Because she had always gone through it this way, Gu Xun'er was naturally a little anxious at this moment.
"You are already exhausted to this extent, how can it not be fine?"
Gu Yuan uncharacteristically put on a stern face.
"But, these were the elders..."
Although she was very tempted, Gu Xun'er also didn't want her father to be put in a difficult position by the elders within the clan.
"Humph, I am the Clan Leader of the Gu Clan, if the elders have any objections, let them come find me!"
Gu Yuan finally showed some backbone for once.
