Chu Nanxing fell, but things were not completely over. All eyes were on the last step of the ultimate ancient city.
The last step could only accommodate one person. Whoever stood on it would be recognized by the Heavenly Heart Imprint, and whoever stood on it would become the Chosen of this era.
Through the great formation, all living beings were watching the last step intently, wondering who would stand on it.
Would it be the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter, who was so powerful that she didn't even care about Chu Nanxing, or one of the two disciples of the Holy Emperor, or the Dao Child, who usually kept a low profile but could show strength no weaker than the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter, or the Sacred Body who had just suppressed Chu Nanxing with the cauldron?
Gu Xichao did not stand on the steps. He just stood calmly in the starry sky, recalling the battle between the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter and Chu Nanxing, as well as the scene of his cousin Gu Tianjun mercilessly and forcefully beheading Chu Nanxing. He put himself in Chu Nanxing's position, but found that even if he tried his best, he could only guarantee that he wouldn't die.
"What? Feeling discouraged?"
In the divine sea, Ye Qingyan sensed Gu Xichao's emotions and couldn't help but speak.
"I am indeed feeling discouraged," Gu Xichao admitted frankly.
"Little man, you don't think that you can quickly catch up with the most powerful geniuses in the world just by relying on some good opportunities, do you? The techniques and system you cultivate have great potential, but don't forget that you were initially just a useless body that couldn't cultivate normally. It's already an incredibly heaven-defying thing to catch up with the most powerful geniuses in just a few thousand years without forcing growth."
"Do you know that there are many creatures with much better qualifications than you who can only stand in the distance now and watch the battle through the great formation, without even having the qualifications to approach the battlefield?"
"Compared to them, you have no right to be discouraged."
Ye Qingyan's tone was extremely serious, and even Gu Xichao was shocked when he heard it. It was the first time since he met Ye Qingqing that he had heard her speak to him in such a serious tone.
Gu Xichao quickly composed himself. He smiled and said, "You're right, I have no right to be discouraged."
He would think about what his purpose of cultivation was in the first place. Wasn't it to protect his sister? Now that his sister doesn't need his protection, he seems a little confused. He is a little unsure about the road ahead.
When he took the initiative to challenge his cousin Gu Tianjun, he thought that his sister didn't need his protection, and he could climb the peak for himself. But was that thought at that time his true thought?
Didn't he have any other thoughts?
For example…jealousy, jealousy of Gu Tianjun's identity, jealousy of Gu Tianjun's talent, and even jealousy that he could protect his sister Gu Xiruo.
Or, for example, he wanted to prove that he was no worse than Gu Tianjun. Otherwise, why would he challenge Gu Tianjun instead of the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter? Was it really because he had fought the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter before?
Not entirely!
In the end, he couldn't help but compare himself with others.
So when he saw the powerful performances of the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter and Gu Tianjun, he was discouraged.
But is his cultivation just for comparing with others? If his ancestor grandpa knew about this, he would probably be disappointed!
He is Gu Xichao, and he doesn't need to compare himself with others at all. He just needs to strengthen his Dao heart and move forward diligently.
Even if he compares, he compares with his past self.
"It's enough for me to be stronger today than I was yesterday!"
Ye Qingyan felt Gu Xichao's state of mind undergo an astonishing change in a short period of time. Under the mist, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyes were also full of smiles.
As expected of my little man, he figured it out so quickly.
Gu Xichao strode forward in the starry sky and came to the steps.
"Brother!"
Gu Xiruo greeted him with surprise, "Where have you been since your battle with Brother Tianjun? I couldn't find you."
Gu Xichao really wanted to say that he had found a fairy sister-in-law for her, but he wasn't Li Beifei, and his face wasn't thick enough to say such a thing. He just said, "I was in seclusion for a while."
This reason was very legitimate. At their level, it was reasonable to spend hundreds or thousands of years in seclusion.
"Tell me next time before you go into seclusion," Gu Xiruo said.
"I know, I know. You're so old now, you can't be as clingy to your brother as you were when you were a child," Gu Xichao teased.
"Hmph, no matter how old I am, you're still my brother, and I'm still your sister," Gu Xiruo snorted.
"Okay, if you say any more, I'm afraid Lin Tian will be jealous," Gu Xichao couldn't help but smile wryly. However, he glanced at Lin Tian, who was stunned, uh, jealous, impossible.
"Lin Tian won't be jealous!" Gu Xiruo took Lin Tian's arm and made a face at Gu Xichao.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the starry sky trembled slightly. Immediately afterwards, the four sisters of the Sky Serpent Clan came together.
The second sister, Tian Fangfang, moved her eyes slightly. She said, "The power of heaven and earth here is disordered. There was a great battle just now."
"Great battle?"
The fourth sister, Tian Xiaoxiao, lit up her eyes, and her eyes rolled mischievously. She looked around and then said disappointedly, "Alas, it seems we're late. There's no good show to watch."
"Junior Sister!"
Ye Hongyi came to them.
"Senior Sister!"
The four girls also greeted her enthusiastically.
"Senior Sister, who was fighting here just now?" the eldest sister, Tian Yuanyuan, asked.
Ye Hongyi sent out a divine thought and explained the ins and outs of what happened just now. The four girls were also surprised to hear that Chu Nanxing had refined himself into a Chaos Body. However, even Chu Nanxing, who had refined himself into a Chaos Body, was not a match for the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter and Gu Tianjun, which gave them a clearer understanding of the two's strength.
"I originally thought that we had caught up after receiving guidance from our mother, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big," Tian Xiaoxiao said with a little disappointment, but she quickly put it behind her, because she also knew that Senior Sister Hongyi had already revealed her identity.
"Hehe, if anyone dares to bully me in the future, I'll say that my grand-uncle is the Holy Emperor and scare him to death," Tian Xiaoxiao chuckled. If her eldest sister hadn't said that they couldn't reveal their identities, the whole world would know that their four sisters were the Holy Emperor's grand-nieces.
The creatures who heard Tian Xiaoxiao's words through the great formation were silent. Good heavens, really good heavens, on the Ancient Starry Sky Road, are all the famous people in the same group?
Then…this Starry Sky Ancient Road trial has become their back garden?
I said that so few famous geniuses have fallen over the years, which made them think that the competition on the Starry Sky Ancient Road was not as fierce as the legends said. It turns out that they are all one family. How could a family fight to the death!
They even suspected that the birth of the Virtual God Realm was for this reason.
After all, dying in the Virtual God Realm will not really lead to death.
The Golden Ancient Royal Son looked at the group of people having a good time and suddenly felt a little out of place, so he turned around to leave the steps and leave this ultimate ancient city.
But just as he was about to leave, a voice stopped him.
"Brother Huang, please stay!"
Brother Huang?
The Golden Ancient Royal Son suddenly turned around to look at the speaker, who was Li Beifei.
His face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Laoliu, my surname is not Huang. Our Golden Ancient Clan's compound surname is Golden!"
"Uh…"
Li Beifei's footsteps towards the Golden Ancient Royal Son suddenly stopped. He looked at the others, and the others also looked like they didn't know him.
Damn it, the Golden Ancient Clan is such a famous group, and you don't even know that their surname is Golden?
Are you doing it on purpose!
"Boss, do you still want this disciple? I want to kill him!"
In a void, the Golden Ancient Emperor and Gu Changsheng were playing chess. At this time, his face was also a little dark.
"Kill him, kill him as you like, don't just talk about it!"
Gu Changsheng said that he fully supported the Golden Ancient Emperor's decision.
"…" Golden Ancient Emperor.
I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?
…
