115: Chapter 115 Hundreds of Millions of Cultivators! Imperial Clan: Prepare Gifts for the Gu Family!

The news had spread across the entire continent, yet there were always those who had just emerged from seclusion and were completely unaware of the changes in the outside world!

In the courtyard of a small Family in the Southern Region, several people sat in a circle, chatting about what they had recently seen and heard.

"Have you heard? The Gu Family has emerged from seclusion!"

A middle-aged man's voice carried unconcealable excitement!

"The Gu Family? Which Gu Family?"

An old man sitting opposite him, who had just emerged from seclusion, frowned.

He had been in seclusion for twenty years and had no impression of the name Gu Family. He had never even heard of such a Family.

The middle-aged man widened his eyes. "You don't even know the Gu Family? It's the Gu Family that made the Imperial Families of the Central Plains tremble in fear and annihilated the Demon Race army with a single sword!"

The old man's hand trembled; he was so scared he wanted to run away!

"Annihilated the Demon Race? Wasn't the Demon Race sealed away hundreds of thousands of years ago? How could there still be a Demon Race?"

"The Seal had long since loosened! A while ago, the Demon Race army pressed against our borders, and the Demon Emperor led them personally. And guess what happened? The Gu Family only sent a few people, and in less than half an hour, the entire Demon Race was wiped out! Not even a scrap was left!"

The old man opened his mouth, thinking, could it really be that outrageous? In history, the Demon Race was not such a weak existence! He had never heard of this Gu Family! It was simply unheard of! He had never heard of anything so absurd! Annihilating the Demon Race in half an hour? And a Demon Emperor? How could this be possible? But looking at the expression of the person speaking, he didn't seem to be bragging! Could it be true? The old man muttered to himself.

Another young man leaned in. "Not only that, I heard that the Spiritual Qi in the Gu Family can no longer be called Spiritual Qi; it's Immortal Qi! There are countless resources inside—Imperial Rank Medicinal Pills, ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines, enlightenment tea, ginseng fruit—you can eat and drink whatever you want! My eldest uncle's second brother's third uncle's nephew is a vassal Disciple in the Gu Family, and he saw it with his own eyes!"

"They say that if a pig goes in, it comes out a Saint without even needing to Cultivate!"

"A pig? It can become a Saint without needing to Cultivate?"

How could this be possible? The old man clearly didn't believe it even more!! Bragging! It was definitely bragging!! If one could become a Saint without Cultivating, then what did all his years of hard work count for?!

"Nowadays, in the Gu Family, even a common pig can become a Saint after being raised for a few months!" The young man spoke convincingly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes!

Several people looked at each other, all trying to digest this news! They had only been in seclusion for a while, right? Upon coming out, it felt like they were completely out of touch with the world?!

"This is just too absurd!"

"Absurd? Brother, you have to know that the Gu Family has the existence of four Great Emperors; this is just the tip of the iceberg!"

"I'm preparing to go to the Gu Family. They are currently recruiting Disciples for one hundred thousand spots. They don't look at talent, cultivation, or background—as long as your heart is sincere and righteous, that's enough. Being able to become one of them would be a blessing cultivated from a past life!"

"Really?" The old man from before went from disbelief to slowly accepting it.

"Why would I lie to you? The whole continent is talking about it! Those Imperial Families and Eternal Clans in the Central Plains are all preparing to go! The Clan Chief of the Ice Phoenix Clan said it herself: she wants to lead the entire clan to join the Gu Family!"

"Wait for me, I'm going too."

"Didn't you just come out of seclusion? Aren't you going to rest for a few days?"

"Rest for what? Isn't it better to go to the Gu Family to rest? I'm going to pack my things; you wait for me!"

The people in the courtyard laughed.

Even those old monsters hiding in the deep mountains and forests, bitterly Cultivating, were all drawn out by this news!

"Have you heard? The Gu Family is recruiting Disciples!"

"What Gu Family? Never heard of them."

"You don't even know the Gu Family? It's the Gu Family that annihilated the Demon Race!"

"The Demon Race was annihilated? When did that happen?"

"Just a few days ago, the Demon Race was completely wiped out in half an hour! I heard the Gu Family only sent a few people!"

"Are you talking nonsense? The Demon Race has a Demon Emperor, and that is an existence at the Great Emperor level. Annihilating a Great Emperor in half an hour? Do you think a Great Emperor just stands there and lets you hit him?"

"Believe it or not, I don't care! Anyway, I'm going to the Eastern Region for the one hundred thousand spots. If I go late, I won't even get to drink the soup!"

Similar conversations were playing out in every corner of the continent!

But whether they believed it or not, everyone was doing the same thing. That was inquiring about the location of the Gu Family, how to get to the Eastern Region, and where the mountain gate would open in a month!

"I'll go; it's not a loss anyway. If it's really as good as they say, I'll have gained something. If it's fake, I'll just treat it as going out for training!"

Outside the Gu Family's mountain gate, some people had already arrived! Not a few, not dozens, but thousands upon thousands—billions of Cultivators had come! It was a sea of people!

Although the Spiritual Qi outside the mountain gate couldn't compare to the Immortal Veins inside, it was countless times denser than in the outside world!

Those Cultivators who arrived early absorbed quite a bit of Spiritual Qi here, and many had a Breakthrough on the spot!

"This Spiritual Qi is incredible!"

"The Bottleneck that had stuck me for thirty years has loosened!"

"I went from the Peak of the Saint realm to a Saint King in just three days! This place is too good!"

Even those Imperial Families and Eternal Clans couldn't sit still! They weren't going to the outside of the mountain gate to mooch off the Spiritual Qi; they were going to express their gratitude! Regardless of their previous attitude toward the Gu Family, the fact that the Demon Race was annihilated was real! The Gu Family saved the entire continent; this debt of gratitude could not be ignored!

Inside the Li Family's main hall, Li Family Head sat on the main seat with a gift list placed in front of him. Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Spirit Medicines, and Magic Treasures were piled up to the brim!

He picked up the gift list, looked at it again and again, and sighed. "Add two more quasi-emperor artifacts!"

The Elder beside him was stunned. "Family Head, two quasi-emperor artifacts? That's half of our Li Family's foundation."

Li Family Head looked at him. "The Gu Family saved our lives! If our lives are gone, what use is keeping the foundation?"

Of course, he also had some ulterior motives; he was afraid that the Gu Family would settle scores later! After all, their previous attitude had been very hostile! If they settled scores later, their entire Family would likely face a crisis! They couldn't afford to provoke such a behemoth!

The Elder shut his mouth, not daring to say more. Li Family Head stood up. "Prepare the carriage; we're going to the Gu Family."

Qi Family Head was doing the same thing. The gift list was revised again and again, getting thicker and thicker! He was terrified that the Gu Family wouldn't think much of these things.

Qi Family Head looked at the gift list and was silent for a moment. "Add one more."

The Elder beside him changed expression. "Family Head, that piece was left behind by the Old Ancestor!"

"What the Old Ancestor left behind is for us to live well. The Gu Family saved our lives; gifting one quasi-emperor artifact is worth it."

The Elder sighed! It seemed the Clan Chief was determined to give it!

In the Ice Phoenix Clan, Clan Chief Bing Ru stood in the ancestral hall, with the spirit tablets of the past ancestors of the Ice Phoenix Clan placed before her. She lit a stick of incense and said softly, "Old Ancestor, I have made a decision; the Ice Phoenix Clan will join the Gu Family!"

Grand Elder Bing Yun stood at the doorway. "Clan Chief, the other families are all preparing gifts. What about us?"

Clan Chief Bing Ru raised her hand. "Gifts must be prepared, but not to curry favor—it is to repay a debt of gratitude!"

Grand Elder Bing Yun nodded. But there were also some Imperial Families who couldn't bring themselves to do it. They didn't go to give gifts; in their view, having inherited their Legacy for so long, they had their own pride! However, they would soon regret their decision!
