Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Each breath.

Made the aura on his body a bit more powerful.

Body Refining Fifth Realm!

Master!

Great Grandmaster!

Divine Transformation!

Dao Palace!

...

"Boom!"

A terrifying cloud of tribulation suddenly gathered between heaven and earth, causing a slight change in Gu Qingfeng's expression.

"Saint Heavenly Tribulation!"

Then.

He looked at the male infant and burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good, indeed my son, a being of the Ancient Divine Body, born as a Saint, destined to prove the Dao and become an Emperor someday!"

Gu Qingfeng held the infant, growing fonder with each look, showing no concern for the Saint Heavenly Tribulation above.

A moment later.

Seeing the tribulation grow fiercer.

Gu Qingfeng moved his divine thought, and a forceful restrictive power descended upon the infant, forcibly suppressing the cultivation that had initially broken through to the Saint Realm.

With the appearance of the restriction, the initial Saint Heavenly Tribulation gradually dissipated.

"Too early, going through the Saint Heavenly Tribulation now is unnecessary, wait until you grow up, and have settled a bit more, then it's not too late to face it!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly, suppressing the power about to break through to the Saint realm was an effortless task for him.

Xu Yulan, seeing the tribulation dissipate, let go of her initial worries.

Born as a Saint!

This was indeed worth celebrating!

But having a newborn baby go through a Saint Heavenly Tribulation, how could it not be worrisome?

"Now that the child is born, my lord, what do you think the name should be?"

"The name... when this child was born, an illusion of an Immortal descended from the Nine Heavens, born as a Saint, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's the reincarnation of an Immortal.

In that case, let's call him Xianlin!"

Gu Qingfeng, holding the child, directly announced a name.

Xianlin!

Gu Xianlin!

...

Soon.

The news of the Gu Family Emperor's son's birth swept the entire Ancient Desolate World like a hurricane.

Innately awakened as a Supreme Divine Body.

Born at the Saint Realm.

The initial appearance of that Saint Heavenly Tribulation couldn't be hidden from the eyes of other cultivators.

Even though Gu Qingfeng later used methods to suppress it, causing the tribulation to dissipate, it was enough to show how terrifying the talent of the Gu Family Emperor's son was.

"Born as a Saint, the talent of the Gu Family Emperor's son is unmatched throughout history!"

"In this era, who can stand against the Gu Family?"

Some powerful figures sighed with emotion.

First, there was Gu Qingfeng, then there was Gu Yang, and now there's the born Saint Gu Xianlin. Talents and prodigies endlessly emerge from the Gu Family lineage, even other top Imperial Clans are no match.

"Born as a Saint, my fourth brother's talent is indeed terrifying!"

Gu Yang was in a good mood too, immediately setting off to the Gu Family.

The Gu Family has produced another extraordinary talent, not only for the Gu Family, but it's also a rare good thing for the entire Divine Martial.

When Gu Yang set out, other descendants of the Gu Family, upon hearing the news, returned immediately.

A month later.

The Gu Family held a full month celebration banquet.

Many top forces from the Ancient Desolate World personally attended, and even other powerful entities from the Chaos and Foreign Realms arrived. The scene was grand.

Other cultivators were envious seeing this, but also understood that with the current reputation of the Gu Family, having such influence was only normal.

The reason was simple.

Not to mention the born Saint Gu Xianlin, destined to become a Great Emperor someday.

Even if he were just an ordinary talent, the name of the Gu Family alone would be enough for other forces to show respect.

As long as Gu Qingfeng and Gu Yang are alive, and Divine Martial stands tall, who would dare disrespect the Gu Family?

In this era, even other forces aside, current Great Emperors must bow their heads.

At the full month banquet.

Xia Tianjun looked at the swaddled Gu Xianlin, then laughed: "This Emperor sees that this child has great affinity with me.

Today, this Emperor intends to take him as my only direct disciple, I wonder if Emperor Qingfeng is willing?"

As soon as this was said.

The whole place was silent.

Everyone's eyes were on Xia Tianjun and Gu Qingfeng, their envy was evident without needing words.

A Great Emperor personally stepping forward to take a direct disciple implies that this person could inherit the Great Emperor's mantle.

However.

Some cultivators thought more deeply.

In their view.

Xia Tianjun's move was equivalent to showing goodwill to the entire Gu Family.

After all, there were past grievances between the Ancient Xia Family and the Gu Family, though these grudges had been erased later, there was always some lingering discord.

To this.

Gu Qingfeng naturally understood Xia Tianjun's consent.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded with a faint smile: "It's an honor for my little son that the Heavenly Monarch Emperor wishes to take him as a disciple!"

"Good, good, good!"

Xia Tianjun laughed heartily, without any hesitation, directly taking out a green bracelet and placing it on Gu Xianlin's tender wrist.

The originally adult-sized bracelet shrank several times upon touching the infant's wrist, fitting snugly.

"This item is called the Green Sea Immortal Bracelet, obtained by me from slaying an ancient Quasi Emperor. Although it isn't a true Imperial Weapon, it is considered a top Quasi-Imperial Weapon.

Today, having found a good disciple, this Emperor won't linger too long on greetings!"

When hearing that the green bracelet was a top Quasi-Imperial Weapon, other cultivators' eyes turned crimson with envy.

However.

No one dared think of seizing it.

It was a joke.

This is the Gu Family Emperor's son.

Now taken as a direct disciple by Xia Tianjun, his backing isn't just the Gu Family, but also the Ancient Xia Family.

Two families, three Great Emperors!

Who would dare entertain any improper thoughts?

Days later.

The banquet dispersed.

The news that the Gu Family Emperor's son was taken as the only direct disciple by the Ancient Xia Family's Great Emperor also spread rapidly.

This news filled many forces with envy.

Of course.

They envied not Gu Xianlin.

But Xia Tianjun.

With this event.

The Ancient Xia Family truly stood in alliance with the Gu Family, becoming genuine allies.

The Gu Family now has two Great Emperors, wielding immense power.

The Gu Family Emperor's son is destined to become an Emperor as well.

Receiving him as a disciple now is akin to gaining a future Great Emperor as a protege, the benefits of which are immeasurable.

However.

These forces envy as they may, there's nothing they can do.

After all, Xia Tianjun acted first, making it impossible for them to compete.

Furthermore—

Xia Tianjun is a Great Emperor of the current era.

In the entire Ancient Desolate World now, aside from the Gu Family and the ancient Great Emperor Li Chen, the only Great Emperor is Xia Tianjun.

Even if other forces want to compete, they need the qualification first.

...

"Xia Tianjun's gesture is not small!"

Gu Qingfeng looked at the Green Sea Immortal Bracelet on Gu Xianlin's wrist, with his current insight, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this Supreme Treasure.

As Xia Tianjun said, this Supreme Treasure ranks among the top in the class of Quasi-Imperial Weapons.

If further refined, it's not impossible to upgrade it to a true Imperial Weapon someday.

On the other hand.

Xu Yulan slightly frowned: "Why did my lord allow Xia Tianjun to take Lin'er as a disciple?"

"Although our Gu Family is strong now, it doesn't guarantee we will be so forever. Having more allies is always better than having more enemies.

Xia Tianjun is a current Great Emperor, and since he wishes to ally with our Gu Family, why should we refuse?

Besides, it's just a title of apprentice, our Gu Family doesn't need to pay anything."

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly, this apprenticeship brought no loss to the Gu Family.

Such an opportunity with all benefit and no harm, how could he refuse?

Xu Yulan understood upon hearing this.

"In that case, it seems I was short-sighted."

"You don't have to worry about these matters. Just focus on cultivating. You're now at the Quasi Emperor Peak, and in the future, you may break through to the Emperor Realm.

Cultivate well, and when the Immortal Gate opens someday, I will find an opportunity for longevity for you!"

...

As time passed.

The Gu Family returned to its usual state.

Besides guiding other Gu Family descendants in cultivation, Gu Qingfeng had an additional task — taking care of the child.

For this.

Gu Qingfeng didn't find it tiring, rather he seemed to enjoy it.
