119: Chapter 119 The Mountain Gate Opens! The Gu Family Officially Opens its Mountain Gate
Days passed by, and the day for the Gu Family to open its gates drew ever closer!
The number of people outside the mountain gate surged every day, from hundreds of millions to over a billion!
This originally desolate land in the Eastern Region had now become the most bustling place on the entire continent!
Above and below, it was densely packed with people!
Cultivators rode their Flying Swords or clouds; even those rare flying Spirit Beasts were now reduced to common modes of transportation!
Looking out from the mountain gate, the sea of people stretched as far as the eye could see!
At a glance, there were at least hundreds of millions of people!
"Damn, this is way too many people!"
A young Cultivator looked at the sea of black heads in front of him and gasped.
The person beside him rolled his eyes, "You're just realizing this? I arrived half a month ago, and there weren't this many people back then!"
"If I had known, I would have come earlier! Now there's not even a place to stand!"
"The early bird catches the worm, don't you understand that?"
The young Cultivator sighed, resigned to his fate, standing in place without daring to move!
Because if he moved even an inch, he wouldn't be able to put his foot back down!
The situation in the sky wasn't any better!
Densely packed Cultivators hung in mid-air; some sat cross-legged on Flying Swords, some sat on the backs of Spirit Beasts, and others simply floated there!
Anyone who didn't know better would think someone had died up there!
It looked quite eerie!
Those close to the ground were almost stepping on the heads of the people below!
Those far from the ground had already become tiny black dots!
Suddenly, one of the tiny black dots moved!
Something fell from the sky and landed in the hand of someone below.
The person looked down and saw a dark, sticky object.
He looked up at the sky, "Who threw this?"
Someone in the sky poked their head out and smiled sheepishly, "Brother, sorry about that, that's a snack!"
A snack?
The person stuck out his tongue and licked it.
Huh?
Why does it taste salty?
This is fucking booger!
"What the hell! This is a snack?!"
The person in the sky shrank back, pretending not to see anything!
The person below cursed, and the people around burst into laughter!
Before the laughter stopped, someone else shouted.
"Brother, move aside! I need to go out to use the restroom!"
"Brother, don't go! If you leave now, who knows when you'll be able to get back in."
"Exactly! We worked so hard to get to the front; if you go to the bathroom, you'll lose your spot!"
"Damn it, I can't take it anymore! I haven't been to the bathroom in half a month, my bladder is about to explode!"
"Just hold it! The gates open in three days."
"Three days? I can't even hold it for the time it takes to burn an incense stick!"
"This isn't coming to learn from a master, this is coming to suffer! There are so many people, I'm being squeezed to death!"
"It's worth the suffering! Once you enter the Gu Family, you'll have everything."
"That's true!"
Difficult days always pass slowly!
For the hundreds of millions of Cultivators, every day was a torment!
But for them, there would always be a time when the suffering would end!
On the plaza inside the mountain gate, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua looked at the sea of black heads outside the gate, his brows furrowed tightly!
He wasn't worried about the number of people; rather, he was a bit worried about order.
"With so many people, how will they get in when we open the gates in three days?"
First Elder Gu Yushan stood beside him, "The Old Ancestor naturally has a way. When the time comes, those with sincere hearts will remain, and those who are insincere will naturally be screened out."
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua nodded, "That's true." He paused, "Right, where is Qingshan?"
First Elder Gu Yushan replied, "He went to the Demon Realm."
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was stunned for a moment, "Alone?"
"He took Li Shuangxu with him."
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua nodded and didn't ask further.
He turned and walked towards the back mountain.
In the back mountain, Gu Xuan lay on a reclining chair, eyes closed.
His Divine Sense swept over the billions of people outside the mountain gate.
Quite a lot of people.
However, only one hundred thousand were needed; it was likely that some of these people would return empty-handed.
Three days; it was neither long nor short!
For those Cultivators waiting bitterly outside the mountain gate, every day felt like a year!
But time would not stop just because someone couldn't hold their bladder!
Finally, the day to open the gates arrived.
Early in the morning, the sunlight shone on the Gu Family's mountain gate!
Hundreds of millions of Cultivators opened their eyes simultaneously and looked in unison towards the inside of the mountain gate!
Everyone held their breath, watching the mountain gate!
Inside the mountain gate, on the plaza!
All the Elders of the Gu Family were ready to go, dressed in uniform cyan attire with the character "Gu" written on their chests!
First Elder Gu Yushan stood at the very front, with Elder Gu Kong, Third Elder Gu Yun, Fourth Elder Gu Shan, and Fifth Elder Gu Enming behind him.
Five people, lined up in a row!
Beside them was Clan Leader Gu Tianhua, wearing his Clan Chief attire, his expression rarely serious!
In the back mountain, Jian Wuji, Great Emperor Bai Yujing, Ye Wuhen, Yue Qingshuang, Yue Qingxue, Tiangang, and Great Emperor Tiansha stood side by side.
The seven stood shoulder to shoulder.
The Four Great Divine Beasts lay off to the side.
Gu Xuan stood up from the reclining chair and walked to the front of the group.
He wasn't wearing any special attire, just a simple white robe, looking no different from usual!
But everyone who looked at him straightened their backs!
"Open the gates," Gu Xuan said.
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears!
Outside the mountain gate, hundreds of millions of Cultivators looked up simultaneously!
They heard it; that voice was calm and gentle, but it possessed an irresistible power!
It made them dare not act presumptuously!
They couldn't describe it; perhaps this was the terror of the Gu Family Old Ancestor!
Gentle, yet carrying murderous intent!
"The gates are opening! The Gu Family is opening its gates!"
Countless Cultivators perked up!
All of them looked in unison towards the Gu Family mountain gate!
"They're coming out! The people of the Gu Family are coming out!"
Inside the mountain gate, seven figures flew out!
The seven lined up in a row, standing in the Void Realm!
Sunlight shone on them, and their clothes fluttered in the wind!
No one released any pressure, but that invisible sense of oppression made the hundreds of millions of Cultivators hold their breath simultaneously!
They felt that if they showed even the slightest disrespect, they would be reduced to ashes in the next second!
"It's those three Great Emperors!"
Someone recognized Jian Wuji, Yue Qingshuang, and Yue Qingxue!
Those were the three Great Emperors who had appeared in the Central Region back then!
They only knew that these three were Great Emperors of the Gu Family!
And they all assumed that the Gu Family actually had four Great Emperors, because the most mysterious Gu Family Old Ancestor must also be a Great Emperor!
Just as everyone's gaze was still fixed on those seven people!
Suddenly, two little girls walked out from inside the mountain gate.
It was Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua.
They were holding their little pets in their arms!
Everyone was astonished to see this scene!
"Holy crap! Isn't that the North Dragon King? The North Dragon King at the Peak of Quasi-Emperor?"
"Holy crap! It really is!"
"I heard before that the Gu Family caught those Yao Beast kings to keep as pets, I thought it was just bragging!"
"How could it be fake when we see it with our own eyes? Look at that black Dragon; if that aura isn't the North Dragon King, then who is it?"
"In this world, I'm afraid only the Gu Family can keep a Peak Quasi-Emperor Yao Beast as a pet."
Everyone's gaze was attracted to the two little girls.
Not because they were cute, but because of the pets in their arms!
A Peak Quasi-Emperor Yao Beast, if placed outside, could destroy a major region with ease.
In the Gu Family, they were held in the arms of two eleven or twelve-year-old girls, played with like ordinary cats and dogs!
This is the gap!
"That North Dragon King used to dominate the Northwest Region; who dared to go near his territory?"
"And now he's being held in someone's arms as a pet?"
"So it goes to show, following the right master is crucial! Joining the Gu Family is the wise choice!"
