9: Chapter 9 Two little girls, once again possessing extraordinary physical abilities!

Two days passed.

Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"I have reached the Spirit Sea Realm Peak! My Realm has stabilized significantly over these past two days, and my cultivation has become effortless. Plus, with the weapon the Old Ancestor gave me, I have the strength to fight even if I face a powerhouse in the King Realm!"

Gu Chen did not know the true power of this emperor sword.

One slash for tetanus, two slashes to meet your ancestors.

"However, I have discovered a few things I do not understand over these two days, so I will go find the Old Ancestor to explain them to me today."

Gu Chen stood up and flew toward the Back Mountain.

Back Mountain.

[Sign-in successful: Successfully obtained rare Heaven And Earth Treasures, one Red Sun Immortal Fruit, one Ice Soul Immortal Lotus]

Another two rare Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Gu Xuan did not know how many rare Heaven And Earth Treasures were lying in his System inventory.

"Not bad."

Clearly, these rare Heaven And Earth Treasures were not particularly special to Gu Xuan at this moment.

But having them is better than not having them.

The daily sign-in rewards were never the same, so one could not say these rare Heaven And Earth Treasures were bad.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen had already arrived at the Back Mountain.

He looked up.

Gu Xuan was lying on a recliner, and next to him, a white tiger was curled up by his side.

In the tree, there was a Phoenix spreading its wings and fanning him slowly; this life was truly comfortable.

Seeing the two Yao Beasts beside Gu Xuan, Gu Chen felt as if he could not move.

His legs were rooted in the ground like bamboo, unable to be pulled out!

Fear quickly welled up in his heart!

It felt as if he would be torn to shreds the next second!

"Little Chen, what is the matter? Is there something you do not understand?"

Gu Xuan looked at Gu Chen, and the fear in his heart instantly vanished.

The two Yao Beasts immediately withdrew their gazes and continued doing their own things.

"Old Ancestor, what are these two Yao Beasts?" Gu Chen asked, stepping forward with trepidation.

If he had not guessed wrong, that in the tree was a Phoenix!

There was also a white tiger on the ground!

With a large character 'King' tattooed on its forehead!

Too terrifying!

Just now, two gazes had merely glanced at him.

And what Gu Chen did not know was that there were two more gazes that had glanced at him just now.

And they were both in the Great Emperor Realm!

"I was bored and picked up a few Yao Beasts; they will serve as our Gu Family's guardian Divine Beasts from now on," Gu Xuan said nonchalantly.

Hiss!

Picked up Yao Beasts because he was bored?!

Although he could not tell what species of Yao Beast that tiger was, the Phoenix was a genuinely super rare Yao Beast!

Each one was incomparably powerful!

His own Old Ancestor was actually using it as the Gu Family's guardian Divine Beast!

This completely shattered Gu Chen's perception.

That was a Phoenix!

This was not right!

Even a Holy Land could not possibly capture a Phoenix!

He remembered that a Phoenix would rather die than fall into the hands of humans.

Yet this Phoenix was actually fanning the Old Ancestor?

Gu Chen was silent for a moment.

He could only silently accept this fact.

He was increasingly unable to fathom the Old Ancestor's strength!

Seeing that Gu Chen was not speaking, Gu Xuan immediately asked: "Little Chen, how has your cultivation been over these two days?"

Gu Chen then snapped back to reality: "Old Ancestor, there are a few things I do not understand about that Cultivation Technique, and I hope for the Old Ancestor's guidance."

Immediately, Gu Chen asked about the things he did not understand, waiting for the Old Ancestor's explanation.

He had completely forgotten the existence of those two Yao Beasts.

Gu Xuan only took one look and began to clear up his confusion.

What Gu Xuan said was perfectly logical, and Gu Chen listened with great interest!

After Gu Xuan's guidance, Gu Chen gained a lot of insight.

This was thanks to his deepening understanding of the Dao of the sword after Awakening the Hidden Dragon Sword Body, plus this natural cultivation ground.

And added to that was his own Old Ancestor's master-level explanation!

The more buffs he had, the faster he would naturally Cultivate.

Gu Chen felt all his previous confusion swept away, and immediately began to gain insights on the spot.

Gu Xuan continued to lie on the recliner; he had spent so many years in a dark, lightless secret chamber.

He must reward himself properly!

But not long after, two light and slender figures walked along the mountain path, laughing.

One on the left and one on the right, the two looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old.

Their eyebrows and eyes were very lively, and they were very likable.

Seeing the newcomers, Gu Chen immediately stood up, bowed to Gu Xuan and said: "Old Ancestor, these two are the Grand Elder's granddaughters. They are twins; the older sister is named Gu Qingqing, and the younger sister is named Gu Huahua."

The two girls were still young and very innocent.

"Brother Gu Chen."

Gu Chen smiled and then brought the two to Gu Xuan's side.

"Quickly, call the Old Ancestor."

"Hello, Old Ancestor."

The two looked Gu Xuan up and down.

Their grandfather had repeatedly instructed them that they must be likable in front of the Old Ancestor.

The two hopped and skipped over to Gu Xuan's side.

A look of kindness unconsciously appeared on Gu Xuan's face.

He naturally liked these two little girls very much.

"Come, let the Old Ancestor hug you."

Gu Xuan reached out and picked up the two little girls.

One on the left and one on the right, they were soft.

But the moment he touched them.

Two different forces emerged.

The left hand was scalding hot!

The right hand was icy cold!

If it were an ordinary person, this heat and cold would be enough to cause them to die on the spot!

But this bit of temperature made no difference to Gu Xuan, it was like a tickle.

"Oh?"

Gu Xuan lowered his head and carefully examined the two little girls in his arms.

When the two first arrived at the Back Mountain, he had noticed something unusual.

The temperature on Gu Qingqing's body suddenly soared, and the surrounding air distorted.

While the temperature around Gu Huahua plummeted, and the grass beneath her feet instantly froze with a layer of white frost.

"Old Ancestor, is it very hot? Put me down quickly!" Gu Qingqing kicked her legs in a hurry.

"Old Ancestor, is it very cold? I, I didn't mean to..." Gu Huahua also quickly let go.

Gu Xuan did not let go.

Instead, he smiled even more brightly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Gu Xuan said the word 'good' three times in a row, unable to hide the smile on his face.

The Gu Family was truly giving him endless surprises.

How could this be an illness!

This was the natural Nine Yang True Fire Physique and Nine Yin Cold Ice Physique!

A pair of twin Holy Physiques that are rare throughout the ages!

Hidden Dragon Sword Body, Nine Yang True Fire Physique, Nine Yin Cold Ice Physique...

Only a few days had passed, and three Heaven-Defying Physiques had already appeared!

The two little girls were stunned.

Since they were young, no one had been able to withstand both of their body temperatures at the same time.

Their grandfather had to use his cultivation to resist when holding one, let alone holding both at the same time.

But looking at Gu Xuan's fearless appearance.

It seemed he was really okay?

"Old Ancestor, don't you feel uncomfortable?" Gu Qingqing blinked her eyes.

"Uncomfortable?" Gu Xuan laughed, "The Old Ancestor is too happy to feel uncomfortable."

Seeing this, Gu Chen, who was on the side, quickly stepped forward and said: "Old Ancestor, Qingqing and Huahua have a strange illness. They have been like this since they were young; one is hot all over, and the other is cold all over."

"When Qingqing was three, she almost burned down her own house. When Huahua was five, the playmates who played with her all got frostbite on their fingers. Since then, the two girls have not dared to get close to others."

Speaking of this, Gu Chen's voice sounded a bit hoarse.

"Some say this is an ominous sign, and the clan cannot find a way to treat it, so they can only let them avoid touching external things as much as possible." His tone was full of helplessness.

He had watched these two grow up over the years, suffering and tired, and his heart ached for them.

"Strange illness?"

Gu Xuan reached out and tapped Gu Qingqing's forehead.

Boom!

A ball of red-gold flames exploded from within Gu Qingqing's body!

The flames shot into the sky, and heatwaves rolled!

Gu Qingqing was so scared that she closed her eyes.

But when she opened her eyes, she found herself unharmed.

Immediately after, Gu Xuan reached out and tapped Gu Huahua's forehead.

Crack!

A layer of ice-blue frost spread from within Gu Huahua's body!

The cold air overflowed, and countless tiny ice crystals condensed in the air!

The ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice!

Both little girls were dumbfounded.

They never knew that such terrifying power was hidden inside their bodies.

Gu Chen was also dumbfounded.

What is going on?!

Gu Xuan withdrew his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"Strange illness? This is not an illness."

"This is the natural Nine Yang True Fire Physique and Nine Yin Cold Ice Physique."

"One controls fire, the other masters ice; both are top-tier Physiques that are hard to encounter in ten thousand years!"
