Starting With Chaos Physique

Chapter 10 Hunting Conference, Select Followers

However, it makes sense. This guy has grown up under the protection of the Gu family, never even having killed anything. He is like a flower in a greenhouse.

In the future, when competing with other young supreme beings, it won’t be as simple as just cultivating.

That path is built with blood and bones.

Even though Gu Changsheng has a Chaos Physique, there is still a great chance he could fall along the way.

Thinking of this, the gray-robed man’s gaze softened with a sense of relief.

“I know that you, Ancestor, wouldn’t want me to stay in the Gu family forever, never going anywhere. The path I walk must be my own, not one left by those before me,” Gu Changsheng responded.

The Gu Family had lasted so long because it had its reasons.

“Exactly. There’s a hunting conference coming up, and it’s the perfect opportunity for you to roam the world,” the gray-robed man said with a smile, giving his approval.

The Hunting Conference was a grand event held once every thousand years in the Nansheng Dao Realm and surrounding Realms.

The reason the event took place every thousand years was because the prey for the Conference was the Dark Beast Tide.

This Dark Beast Tide swept through every thousand years, leaving a path of destruction where no life remained.

These demonic beasts, tainted by the undying substances from other realms, had long lost their spiritual consciousness and became nothing more than tools of slaughter and destruction.

The Nine Underworld Burial Grounds, the Unspoken Regions Beyond the Sky, and the Uninhabited Zones of Other Realms.

These were the three most notorious forbidden zones across the Three Thousand Dao Realms, areas where even the immortal beings dared not tread.

The Dark Beast Tide was said to originate from an interdimensional rift located somewhere in the Nansheng Dao Realm.

The undying substances emanated from this rift.

After hearing the Ancestor’s explanation, Gu Changsheng felt even more intrigued, thinking to himself, “The thousand-year Hunting Conference, and I happen to be here for it. Looks like my luck is good.”

After learning so many divine abilities, he had been worried about how to hone his power.

This was the perfect opportunity.

“However, the one thing to be cautious of is the undying substance. Even immortals who come into contact with it will fall and lose their humanity forever.”

As if knowing what Gu Changsheng was thinking, the gray-robed man warned him.

“I understand. Please rest assured, Ancestor,” Gu Changsheng nodded.

Places that even true immortals feared, I will naturally be cautious around.

“When you set out, the clan will arrange for protectors to accompany you. However, the protectors won’t intervene unless there’s a life-threatening situation. Otherwise, the tempering would lose its meaning.”

The gray-robed man continued.

Gu Changsheng was of great importance to the Gu family, and naturally, his life was paramount.

“Additionally, make sure to bring along more secret treasures and protective items. Out there, you’ll represent the Gu family as the heir, carrying the family’s honor.”

“This jade pendant was personally forged by me. You must always carry it. It contains a trace of my true spirit. If you break it, you can summon me for protection in times of danger.”

The Ancestor handed Gu Changsheng a translucent jade pendant, faintly radiating an ethereal aura.

It looked ordinary and didn’t appear particularly special.

However, within it contained a trace of the Gu Family Ancestor’s true spirit, a figure standing at the peak of the Three Thousand Dao Realms.

Its value was self-evident.

Indeed, the Gu family could not afford for him to be in any danger. Realizing this, Gu Changsheng gave a slight nod and expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Ancestor, for your great kindness.”

The two continued their conversation, during which Gu Changsheng mentioned his gains and insights from the Scripture Pavilion over the past years.

Then, he stood up to take his leave.

…

Outside the Divine Island where he resided, a clan member had already been waiting with orders.

A kind-looking middle-aged man, upon seeing Gu Changsheng descend like a streak of rainbow light, quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Young Master.”

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and asked, “And you are?”

“Thanks to the favor of the elders, I have been entrusted to take care of your lodging and arrangements for the Hunting Conference,” the middle-aged man said with a smile, his attitude respectful.

Of course, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t be the only one participating in the Conference.

There were over ten thousand young members of the Gu family in this generation, but only those with exceptional talent would be selected.

The principle of survival of the fittest applied.

Gu Changsheng understood and casually asked, “How does the family plan to arrange things?”

“You will be leading the team. There are also three other young talents from this generation who will participate. The rest of the young talents are training elsewhere and won’t be able to make it in time. I’m afraid that…”

The middle-aged man responded.

The young talents of the Gu family were the most powerful in this generation, and the future heir would come from them.

Each of them represented the most powerful lineages of the Gu family, with a heritage comparable to any ancient force in the outside world.

However, due to Gu Changsheng’s exceptional status, the heir position was already decided.

But among the younger generation, there were still murmurs of dissatisfaction.

This was an inevitable issue.

If someone with equal or greater talent couldn’t even compete for the position, it would be hard for them to accept.

The Gu family was immense, and internal struggles and conflicts were unavoidable.

As long as there were no major losses, the family would turn a blind eye.

The underlying message was clear.

Gu Changsheng understood and remained unfazed, saying, “It’s fine. If they want to compete, let them try.”

His casual tone made the middle-aged man smile wryly.

The top ten in the Gu family’s younger generation were no easy competitors.

In the outside world, each one could stir up a storm.

The process of establishing authority wouldn’t be easy.

However, the middle-aged man didn’t dwell on this matter and proceeded with his own task. “Since we’re about to set off, the elders instructed me to bring you to select a few followers to handle some of the daily matters.”
