Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 407 - 397 Enter

Su Wanyue was absolutely formidable. Already a War General three years ago, she’s now very likely to be a War King, to say nothing of her possession of the Xuanyin Sword paired with the Heart of the Mountain Range, which could even rival the treasures of Ancient Times. Killing a few War Generals would be a piece of cake for her.

A thought struck Chu Hao, and he said, "Long Xingtian and Bu Tianfeng, they’re not descendants of the Gu Clan, are they?"

"No," Xu Wuheng shook his head, "The young ones from the Gu Clan keep a low profile and don’t participate in the ordinary ranking battles; in fact, without belonging to a power above the Venerable Level, one wouldn’t even know of the Gu Clan’s existence."

Just as I thought.

Chu Hao thought to himself that members of the Gu Clan could receive the baptism of the Ancestral Pool, allowing their cultivation realm to leap forward in an extremely short period of time—an advantage unavailable to successors from other powers.

Of course, this also came at a cost: starting from Ancient Times, no one from the Gu Clan had been able to break through to become a War God and reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

However, since War Gods were exceedingly rare, this price didn’t affect most Gu Clan disciples; only heaven-gifted individuals like He Lingtian would consider it a gross injustice.

Although Long Xingtian and Bu Tianfeng were strong, if they were really Gu Clan descendants, then with such talents, their realm should be more than just stepping into the War General level.

After all, there couldn’t possibly be as many special cases like Chu Hao, who only went through the Ancestral Pool baptism after the age of 20, and whose full benefits had not yet been fully manifested.

Like Su Wanyue, who had been a War General already three years ago.

Chu Hao pondered and couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. He couldn’t just assume that the world was brimming with Gu Clan members because he had encountered Su Wanyue, Gu Qingcheng, was from the He Family, and had made enemies with the Chu Family.

However, the once-in-a-century Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly offered grand benefits. He believed that even the well-founded disciples of the Gu Clan would emerge in droves. By then, it would be possible to witness various powerful bloodlines.

"...Has Su Wanyue arrived as well?" Chu Hao’s heart trembled slightly; she was a dreamy and stunningly beautiful woman, the first to make him feel his heart stir.

"She should have," Xu Wuheng nodded, casting a curious glance, "Brother Chu knows Miss Su?"

"We have some acquaintance," Chu Hao smiled, itching to immediately see that peerlessly graceful lady.

"With whom do you have an acquaintance?" A delicate voice rang out, and a ravishingly beautiful woman was seen slowly approaching with a lotus-like step. Her stunning imperial dress highlighted her beauty, making her seem like a Heavenly Immortal, and her well-proportioned figure was irresistibly enticing.

With every step she took, she exuded immeasurable charm, and the people in front of her, regardless of gender, couldn’t help but move aside to clear a path for her.

This was a woman capable of bewitching people to death.

Gu Qingcheng!

Even Xu Wuheng, a noted Heaven Talented from Water State, was visibly dazed upon seeing Demoness Gu, his mouth slightly agape like a young man experiencing romance for the first time. But as a Heaven Talented, he quickly regained his composure, although his eyes couldn’t hide the admiration they held.

"You’re here too?" Chu Hao frowned; even though this woman was a descendant of the Gu Clan, her actual strength was rather lacking—being only a Warrior by now. Logically, an accomplished Gu Clan Heaven Talented, along with the Ancestral Pool baptism, should have reached the War King level at this age, like Su Wanyue.

If it were someone else, it might not matter, but she was far too beautiful and alluring. In this isolated mini world of relics, if she encountered a man with malicious intent... What then?

Wasn’t this like sending a lamb to the tiger’s mouth?

"Why can’t I come?" Gu Qingcheng huffed, waving her hand toward a figure standing in the distance: an old man with white hair and beard, looking rather ordinary.

"Is that your grandfather?" asked Chu Hao.

"Wrong, that’s my grandfather’s grandfather," Gu Qingcheng retracted her hand, "Why, are you interested in pursuing me and now care about my family?"

Chu Hao’s face twitched, "Your thick skin is truly unprecedented."

"This is self-confidence from Miss Gu—huh?" Gu Qingcheng’s gaze suddenly fixated on Fat Cat.

Disaster!

Chu Hao’s heart gave a start. Who could have expected to encounter Gu Qingcheng here? Naturally, he would not have had Fat Cat hide deliberately, but Gu Qingcheng had caught the scene of him with Fat Cat.

Gu Qingcheng’s gaze turned fiery as she sternly glared at Chu Hao, "Don’t you think you owe Miss Gu an explanation?"

"Explain what? I truly don’t know what you’re talking about, haha, are you on the wrong medication?" Chu Hao laughed it off, now determined to deny everything, even if it killed him.

"White Emperor, long time no see!" Gu Qingcheng focused on Fat Cat, eyes brimming with a murderous intent.

She had been severely tricked by Fat Cat, believing she had discovered a once-in-a-millennium martial arts genius, only to have him disappear without a trace in an instant. It had caused her worry for several days before realizing she’d been thoroughly duped, having unwittingly served as Fat Cat’s nanny for far too long.

Fat Cat remained utterly nonchalant, showing no reaction as if he didn’t understand a word Gu Qingcheng was saying.

This is necessary.

Chu Hao shrugged and said, "Why are you calling me White Emperor? My surname is Chu, and my name is Hao, haven’t you known this all along?"

"Stop pretending! Humph, I’ve felt you looked familiar for a while now, and now it all makes sense!" Gu Qingcheng said angrily, a blush involuntarily rising on her pretty face. She thought of the days she had shared a bed and bath with Chu Hao, everything laid bare before this man.

She was a natural beauty with an eccentric nature, fond of teasing others and leaving them confused and smitten before suddenly pushing them away. This didn’t mean she was promiscuous.

The fact that some dirty man had seen her in the nude almost made her faint.

Chu Hao spread his hands and, grabbing Xu Wuheng, began to walk away, saying, "This person seems to have a problem. Brother Xu, let’s go."

Xu Wuheng was torn; on one hand, he saw great potential in Chu Hao and wanted to become friends, and on the other, as a man, he, of course, was attracted to a stunning beauty like Gu Qingcheng.

There was obviously conflict between Chu Hao and Gu Qingcheng, and now he faced the dilemma of which side to choose.

"Sister Gu!" Just then, the Barbaric Girl approached, drooling and said to Demoness Gu, "Do you have anything tasty? I’m hungry."

The girl was exceptionally likeable, even to Gu Qingcheng, who couldn’t help but soften her expression. She took a fruit out of the Mustard Seed Ring and handed it over, saying, "Here, this is a Snow Pulp Fruit, you eat this first, I’ve still got a score to settle with someone!"

"Oh!" The girl took the fruit and immediately wandered off, all smiles and utterly unloyal.

"Chu Hao, make that damn cat talk. I’m really angry right now, and I don’t want to hear a ’no’!" Gu Qingcheng still wanted irrefutable evidence, and once Fat Cat spoke, there would be no room for denial.

"You really must have water in your brain, how could a cat possibly talk!" Chu Hao shook his head, laughing.

"Come here, you damn cat!" Gu Qingcheng reached for Fat Cat.

"Meow!" Fat Cat cried out and quickly ran away, feeling extremely depressed.

"Hey, hey, hey, that’s my Beast Pet, what do you think you’re doing?" Chu Hao quickly reached out to stop her.

With a flirtatious glance, Gu Qingcheng approached the Barbaric Girl and asked, "Yun Cai, let me ask you something, can that Fat Cat talk?"

Damn!

Chu Hao shivered inside. The girl was innocent and straightforward, and if anyone in the world was terrible at lying, she would definitely be one of them.

"Cat, cat, ca—cat," the girl stammered, not stupid despite her innocence. Knowing that Chu Hao didn’t want Gu Qingcheng to know about the Fat Cat’s ability to talk, she suddenly found herself tongue-tied.

"Humph, what do you have to say now?" Gu Qingcheng glared at Chu Hao viciously. This despicable man had pretended to be a baby to deceive her emotions. How hateful, absolutely hateful.

Naturally, Chu Hao would never admit to it and said, "I have no idea what you’re talking about. Brother Xu, let’s hurry up and get our bone age tested and enter the ruins."

He dragged Xu Wuheng away.

"Don’t you think you can run away, this isn’t over!" Gu Qingcheng chased after them immediately. She had never suffered such a defeat in her life before.

The bone age test was quick; all it took was standing in front of a mirror, and rings of bone patterns would appear. The number of rings indicated the growth of the bones for years, similar to the rings of a tree.

Soon it was Chu Hao and his group’s turn. After getting his bone age tested, he quickly grabbed the Barbaric Girl and entered the Light Gate. With a buzzing vibration, they found themselves in an unfamiliar land.

This was clearly no longer an island but a vast plain. The green grass was waist-high, occasionally spotted with a few towering trees that stood a hundred meters tall, sparsely dotted across the plain.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. People’s figures appeared next to him in succession; Gu Qingcheng, Xu Wuheng, and others were there, and Fat Cat still sat on Chu Hao’s shoulder. Generally, who would care whether a Beast Pet met the entry requirements or not?

Apart from them, those who entered earlier were all present, each one observing their surroundings. It was said that there would be various hints in the ancient ruins to prevent people from wandering aimlessly. However, everyone present was a Warrior; there were no War Generals, War Kings, Martial Sects, Martial Masters, or Martial Disciples in sight—it seemed that people were scattered during the transportation process.

Chu Hao spotted some acquaintances, like those from Yue State—Lin Zhining and Gao Feng. They had also become Warriors, but in terms of Realm, they couldn’t compare to Chu Hao. Lin Zhining was fifth-tier, and Gao Feng was fourth-tier; after all, they weren’t descendants of the Gu Clan and couldn’t have the opportunity to be baptized in the Ancestral Pool.

In the center of the crowd, a stage abruptly stood, made of Jade Stone and emitting a faint light. On the stage were ten golden chairs arranged around its perimeter.

Now, seven of the ten golden chairs were occupied, five by men and two by women, the men handsome and dashing, the women as lovely as Heavenly Immortals. Beyond their appearances, their qi and aura were incredibly formidable, like dragons and phoenixes among humans. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Many people surrounded the base of the stage, all looking up as if gazing upon supreme kings.

"Climb that stage, find a chair and sit down; there’s a great advantage to it!" Fat Cat suddenly transmitted his voice to Chu Hao. (To be continued.
