As the group was conversing—
The space in the courtyard rippled slightly.
Gu Changyuan appeared out of thin air, bringing Dugu Shiling with him.
Dugu Qirong and Gongsun Yanguang sensed that aura at the same time. Their expressions changed slightly, and without any hesitation, they instantly stood up, darted out of the living room, and arrived in the courtyard.
The two bowed together in salute, their postures extremely respectful:
"Greetings, Senior."
Gu Changyuan nodded slightly, then gently pushed Dugu Shiling out from behind him.
"The Zhuge family's teleportation array has been set up. I took the opportunity to bring Shiling over from the Heavenly Human Sacred Land.
She has successfully become a disciple under Mengyao, and is now my grand-disciple.
I brought her along so you father and daughter could have a reunion."
Hearing this, Dugu Qirong finally noticed the familiar aura behind Gu Changyuan.
It couldn't be helped.
Gu Changyuan's aura was simply too majestic. Even though he didn't intentionally release it, it enveloped everything around him.
Without careful perception, one simply couldn't detect another person standing behind him.
Dugu Qirong's gaze fell upon his daughter, and a loving, gratified smile instantly appeared on his face.
Dugu Shiling stepped forward and bowed properly:
"Father."
Dugu Qirong quickly held her up, looking her up and down, his eyes full of joy:
"Good, good, good! You look to be in great spirits! How does it feel to have a master? How does Fellow Daoist Xu treat you?"
The father and daughter exchanged words, beginning to catch up.
Right at this time, the young girl from the room and the Gongsun family elder also came into the courtyard, bowing respectfully to Gu Changyuan.
Gongsun Yanguang glanced at Dugu Qirong and his daughter, then looked toward Gu Changyuan, bowed slightly, and spoke:
"Senior, this junior has a request, though I am unsure if it is appropriate to speak of it."
Gu Changyuan looked at him.
"Go ahead and speak."
Gongsun Yanguang took a deep breath and said seriously:
"This junior wishes to implore Senior to allow a younger generation of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Qingling, to also join the Heavenly Human Sacred Land and become a Sacred Land disciple."
He paused, turning slightly to signal Gongsun Qingling behind him to step forward, and continued:
"Qingling is thirty-seven years old this year and is currently at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
She possesses the Azure Abyss Dao Body, a supreme dual-attribute physique of both Wood and Soul.
Qingling has a steady temperament and cultivates diligently. Her talent and cultivation base are considered top-tier among her peers."
He didn't speak with absolute certainty, but the pride in his words could not be hidden.
Hearing this, Gu Changyuan shifted his gaze to Gongsun Qingling.
This time, he examined her carefully.
Tenth-grade talent—this was judged by the system and couldn't be faked.
As for her physique, a glint flashed in Gu Changyuan's eyes.
This girl's physique was quite interesting.
Azure Abyss Dao Body.
It was not a single attribute, but a combination of two.
One was the Wood attribute—Wood governs vitality, growth, and gentleness.
Cultivators with a Wood attribute physique have a natural advantage in healing and cultivating spiritual plants, and their combat style leans toward endurance and attrition.
The second was spiritual power—more accurately, an attribute similar to Yue Lingxi's, leaning toward the divine soul and perception.
This type of physique holds a unique advantage in exploration, deduction, and mental attacks.
Although it was a dual-spirit physique, if one were to solely discuss the path of the soul, Yue Lingxi's Profound Heaven Lunar Soul Body was naturally superior.
After all, it was a pure soul body. The branches of the Great Dao in this aspect were naturally much more abundant than those of the Azure Abyss Dao Body.
But a dual-spirit physique also had its own benefits.
This physique could not only utilize the endurance and resilience of the Wood attribute in direct combat but also use spiritual power for support and interference. It could be said to be balanced in offense and defense, advancing and retreating with measure.
Feeling Gu Changyuan's gaze, Gongsun Qingling lowered her eyes slightly, stepped forward, and bowed gracefully:
"This humble girl Gongsun Qingling greets Senior."
Her voice was soft, her manners proper, neither servile nor overbearing.
Gu Changyuan nodded, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly:
"I accept."
Of course he accepted.
It was exactly what he wanted.
Previously, the main reason he didn't accept disciples from aristocratic families was that he lacked sufficient capital.
But now—
He was already this strong, what was there to fear?
Naturally, he would accept them all.
Not to mention a disciple with tenth-grade talent.
It would be a waste not to eat the fat meat delivered right to his mouth.
Hearing Gu Changyuan agree so readily, the three members of the Gongsun family all revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.
They originally thought it would take a lot of effort to get Gongsun Qingling into the Heavenly Human Sacred Land.
That was why they specially came to find Dugu Qirong today, hoping he would help and have his daughter put in a good word at the Sacred Land to test the waters.
As a result—
Before the Dugu family even had to do anything, the Senior directly agreed.
Gongsun Qingling's father, the clan elder named Gongsun Zhihe, was even more excited. He stepped forward and bowed deeply:
"Thank you for fulfilling our wish, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"
Gongsun Yanguang also hurried forward, his expression extremely solemn as he offered his deep thanks:
"Senior's willingness to take in Qingling is the fortune of my Gongsun family, and an even greater stroke of luck for Qingling! I, Yan, thank Senior for this great kindness."
Gongsun Qingling bowed again, her tone firm:
"Thank you for your grace, Senior. This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and will not disappoint Senior's expectations."
Gu Changyuan waved his hand, gesturing for her to rise.
"Since that is the case, you will directly enter Lingxi's tutelage."
"Lingxi possesses the Profound Heaven Lunar Soul Body, which perfectly matches the soul aspect of your cultivation.
As for the Wood aspect, one of the Lunar Elders in the Sacred Land has a top-tier Wood physique. In the future, if you encounter a bottleneck, you can seek her guidance."
After saying that, Gu Changyuan extended his right hand and pointed at the void.
That direction was exactly where Yue Lingxi's room was located.
At this moment, Yue Lingxi was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed in her room, her eyes tightly closed, surrounded by a faint dark light.
Suddenly—
The surrounding space slightly stagnated.
Yue Lingxi opened her eyes. Feeling that familiar spatial fluctuation, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she didn't resist in the slightest.
In the past, at the Heavenly Human Sacred Land, if her Master wanted to find them disciples, he would often just casually grab them, pulling them over from thousands of meters away.
She had long since gotten used to it.
Now, it was nothing more than reliving old memories.
In the next instant, space shifted.
When Yue Lingxi opened her eyes again, she had already appeared beside Gu Changyuan.
She was slightly stunned, then gracefully bowed to her Master:
"Master."
Gu Changyuan nodded and turned slightly to introduce:
"This is Gongsun Qingling of the Gongsun family. She has the Azure Abyss Dao Body and wishes to join the Heavenly Human Sacred Land.
She cultivates dual attributes, and the soul aspect is the most compatible with you. From now on, she will be under your tutelage."
Hearing this, Yue Lingxi's gaze fell upon Gongsun Qingling.
With just one glance, she could see this woman's extraordinary qualities.
The aura faintly circulating within her body possessed both the warmth of the Wood attribute and the ethereality of the Soul attribute. The two intertwined seamlessly into one.
She was indeed a rare and excellent seedling.
She withdrew her gaze and nodded slightly to Gu Changyuan:
"This disciple will listen to Master."
After saying that, she turned to Gongsun Qingling, a gentle smile on her face:
"Like my Master, I dislike complicated etiquette. Qingling, you can just perform a simple discipleship ceremony here, and you will be considered to have entered my tutelage."
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
