7: Chapter 7 Activating the Sacred Body, A Casually Generated Emperor's Technique?

The Gu Family main hall was imposing, leaving Gu Chen stunned.

"My goodness!"

"Old Ancestor created this with just a wave of his hand; the Gu Family feels no worse than any Holy Land!"

"It feels even more impressive than a Holy Land!"

There were five great Holy Lands in Qingyun Province, each one unfathomable.

They were existences that Gu Chen could only look up to.

Gu Xuan sat on the main seat, his robes fluttering without wind, exuding immense pressure.

Upon seeing Gu Xuan on the main seat, Gu Chen froze in place for a moment.

If it weren't his own Old Ancestor, he believed anyone else would have knelt down immediately upon standing before Gu Xuan!

"Old Ancestor..."

Gu Xuan glanced at him indifferently, his voice calm: "Little Chenchen, come here. Old Ancestor will help you activate the Hidden Dragon Sword Body!"

"I will cast the Foundation for you and open the Dragon Body."

Gu Chen was stunned, trembling with excitement.

The Hidden Dragon Sword Body, which he had only seen in ancient books, was a special Hidden Dao Sword Body. It was naturally restrained, the Great Dao concealed within itself; it remained silent until it could shock the world.

Usually, one's cultivation, aura, Sword Intent, and Physical Body strength would all be hidden, revealing nothing.

He only knew that activating the Hidden Dragon Sword Body was extremely difficult!

"Old Ancestor, ancient books record that activating the Hidden Dragon Sword Body requires resonance with a life-bound sword; only by uniting the sword with the body can it be activated."

"I'm afraid we can't find a suitable sword in the entire Gu Family."

Thinking of this, Gu Chen sighed. How could he not know the situation of the Gu Family? If he wanted to find a life-bound sword, it would be incredibly difficult.

If he fused with an ordinary sword, his future affinity for Sword Intent would likely not be high, and he would never truly comprehend the true Dao of the sword.

"Nonsense, Old Ancestor has plenty of swords!"

Afterward, Gu Xuan fumbled around in the System, and before long, he found a sword most suitable for Gu Chen.

The Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword!

This was obtained from signing in over the long river of five hundred years of history.

The Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword was an ancient Dao emperor sword, long extinct for eons.

This sword had no divine light, no pressure, and no leaking emperor Qi; it looked like a rusty, spiritless sword.

It was the most suitable for Gu Chen's Hidden Dragon Sword Body.

"This sword is suitable for you."

After saying this, he tossed it to Gu Chen.

The first feeling Gu Chen had upon receiving the sword was that it was heavy!

Not just ordinarily heavy, but as if it had the weight of a thousand jun!

Seeing this piece of scrap metal, Gu Chen fell silent, but soon his heart began to beat wildly. He seemed to sense the extraordinary nature of this sword, and a strong resonance occurred!

Although it was a piece of scrap metal, his heart told him that this was the sword he wanted!

Moreover, how could anything given by the Old Ancestor be bad? At the very least, it was something used by an expert in the Sovereign Realm. Although the sword body didn't look like much, he trusted the Old Ancestor's judgment!

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"

Gu Xuan smiled faintly, then lifted his hand slightly, and the sword transformed into a golden dragon-shaped Sword Qi.

It shot directly into Gu Chen's glabella!

Suddenly, Gu Chen's whole body shook as the sword merged into his body!

Intense pain and ecstasy surged simultaneously.

He could clearly feel his Bloodline boiling, like a true Dragon breaking its shackles and soaring into the Nine Heavens!

Before he could think, countless Sword Intents flooded his mind, forcing him to continuously comprehend them.

In an instant!

Profound Origin Realm fifth level... sixth level... seventh level...

Shooting straight to the Spirit Sea Realm!

The improvement didn't stop there; it skyrocketed all the way to the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm before slowly stopping!

Boom!

Then, a dragon roar exploded from within Gu Chen's body!

Immediately after, his body and the sword resonated, emitting waves of dragon roars!

This not only meant that Gu Chen had perfectly achieved Fusion with the Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword, but it also meant that Gu Chen had activated his Hidden Dragon Sword Body!

"Is... is this the power of the Hidden Dragon Sword Body?!"

Gu Chen opened his eyes, his understanding of the sword Dao having reached a new height!

Every move he made carried sharp Sword Intent.

His body was even bound together with the Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword!

Gu Chen lifted the Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword again; this time, the weight was like a light breeze, without any pressure.

Even when touched, it carried a faint dragon roar.

Uniting the sword with the body, activating the Hidden Dragon!

When Gu Chen gripped the Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword tightly.

A dragon roar resounded throughout the entire mountain peak!

The entire Gu Family heard this dragon roar, and the confused members of the Gu Family were startled by this sound.

The sound was soul-shaking.

Everyone looked toward the dragon roar!

Seeing that it was the Gu Family main hall, they were worried about what had happened, but the sound soon faded away.

Gu Chen said one word with an expressionless face: "Quiet!"

Instantly, the dragon roar stopped abruptly!

Feeling his own changes and the extraordinary nature of the sword, Gu Chen's admiration for Gu Xuan was beyond words!

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for your gift of rebirth!" Gu Chen put away the emperor sword in his glabella and immediately kowtowed.

"Little Chenchen, there is no need for such formalities. You are the current Young Lord of our Gu Family. You must Cultivate diligently in the future to protect our Gu Family for thousands of generations!"

"Chen'er will remember!"

Seeing this, Gu Xuan nodded slightly.

He raised his hand again, and a Cultivation Technique appeared in his palm.

"By the way, Old Ancestor has a very simple Cultivation Technique here that is just right for this sword body to Cultivate. You must Cultivate it well!" Gu Xuan tossed it to Gu Chen casually.

Gu Chen caught it in a fluster, and upon seeing it, he was completely stunned.

He had just been thinking that the simple Cultivation Technique given by the Old Ancestor should be for building his Foundation, and he must Cultivate it well!

He would definitely not fail the Old Ancestor's expectations!

But when he opened the first page, it was written in clear strokes: 《Supreme Sword Dao True Dragon Emperor Technique》!!

"Supreme Sword Dao True Dragon Emperor Technique?? Emperor... Technique?!"

"Cultivate to the extreme to master all swords, suppress the Nine Heavens; with one sword strike, the world bows, using the sword to prove the Emperor, achieving the Supreme Sword Dragon Emperor Venerable."

Gu Chen felt his mouth burn just reading these words!

Proving the Emperor? Emperor Venerable!

Hiss!

Boom!

Gu Chen was stunned. He suspected he was already in the underworld, and what he was seeing was nothing but a fleeting dream.

What he was encountering now was nothing but a fantasy before the Tianming Sect destroyed the Gu Family!

Emperor Technique!

Holy crap.

How is this possible!

Is this still the Desolate Ancient Continent? Where did he get taken to?

An Emperor Technique, a Cultivation Technique that couldn't possibly exist even in a Holy Land, the Old Ancestor just gave it to him casually?

He slapped his thigh hard, wanting to believe it was just a dream, but the sharp pain let him know it wasn't a dream.

It was real!

Seeing Gu Chen motionless, Gu Xuan was puzzled and thought to himself: "Could it be that he can't understand it? I don't have anything lower-level than this!"

"Old... Old Ancestor! This is too precious, I... I cannot accept it!"

Gu Chen was incoherent with excitement, wanting to decline, but his hands were clutching the Cultivation Technique tightly, unable to let go.

Gu Xuan thought that the Emperor Technique might just have the word "Emperor" in its name, but it must be extraordinary!

The Old Ancestor valued him so much, so what else was there to say?

He would give his all!

Since he gave it, there was no reason to take it back. Gu Xuan was still worried that Gu Chen couldn't understand it.

Gu Xuan smiled faintly: "You are the Young Lord of our Gu Family, and you have the Hidden Dragon Sword Body. You deserve these things."

"Remember, the future rise of the Gu Family depends on you younger generation."

"Cultivate well, do not let me down, and even more, do not let down your own Bloodline."

Gu Chen knelt down abruptly, his forehead hitting the ground heavily, his voice choked:

"Chen'er will obey! I will definitely Cultivate with my life, not failing the Old Ancestor's high expectations, and not failing the Gu Family!"

"Old Ancestor's gift of rebirth, I can never repay even if I am crushed to pieces!"

Where is this an Old Ancestor who has been sleeping for five hundred years?

He is simply a peerless Old Ancestor!

He is the guardian deity of the Gu Family!
