Chapter 234: Brother Still Cares About Me!


    ?


    The mention of the name "Hun Tiandi" caused the expressions of the Gu n elders in the hall to grow solemn. He was a formidable figure, on par with their n leader, Gu Yuan, one of the top powerhouses on the continent.


    Everyone was curious as to why Gu Fei brought up Hun Tiandi now and even asked about his soul realm.


    Ding! Gu Yuan has be suspicious, emotion value increased...


    Ding! Gu Nanhai has developed curiosity, emotion value increased...


    Gu Fei could sense the elders'' confusion, so he decided not to keep them in suspense.


    "In recent years, during my training on the continent, I uncovered some of the Hall of Soul''s activities under the Hun n... While the Hall of Souls is insignificant to our n, it has risen as the top force in the Central ins."


    "For centuries, the Soul Hall has been growing, expanding its numbers. It now has influence across the entire continent!"


    As Gu Fei spoke, Gu Yuan''s expression remained unchanged. As Gu Fei mentioned, a force like the Soul Hall was never taken seriously by the Gu n, and they rarely involved themselves in the continent''s disputes.


    "In various Hall of Souls branches, I foundrge quantities of soul essence. This is only a portion of what they have plundered from the continent over the past millennium..."


    "If all the soul essence were gathered together, I believe it could be enough to cultivate a God-level soul." Gu Fei said seriously.


    Hearing this, the elders in the hall could no longer remain calm. Even Gu Yuan''s expression subtly changed. He had never considered this before.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "For the Hun n to invest so much in cultivating a God Realm soul, their ambitions must be enormous!"


    Gu Fei''s words resonated deeply, causing the elders to ponder.


    "Hun Tiandi already possesses God Realm soul, so he shouldn''t need to gather more soul essence. Then who are they cultivating?" Gu Yuan wondered.


    Names of prominent Hun n powerhouses shed through his mind, but he dismissed them one by one.


    "Perhaps, within the Hun n, there is another top-tier expert aside from Hun Tiandi!" Gu Fei spected, guiding their thoughts, though he could not provide further proof for his im.


    "If that''s true, then the Hun n has been hiding their strength extremely well!" The elders were shocked by Gu Fei''s spection.


    Since it was only a theory, even those who doubted it didn''t dismiss it outright.


    "Gu Fei, I will look into what you''ve said. If it proves to be true, the Hun n''s power may far exceed that of our Gu n!" Gu Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Gu Yuan''s attitude was exactly what Gu Fei had hoped for. As long as Gu Yuan began paying attention to the Hun n, their major actions would be harder to keep hidden, unlike in the original timeline.


    Gu Yuan''s influence alone was more intimidating than the power of the entire Gu n and the other major ancient nsbined.


    Having achieved his goal, Gu Fei didn''t linger. He respectfully bowed and took his leave from the elders.


    ...


    After Gu Fei left, Gu Yuan also exited the hall. His first destination was Xun''er''s secluded mountain peak.


    "Father, why are you here?" Xun''er was surprised to see Gu Yuan. It had been years since hest visited.


    "Xun''er, your cultivation has progressed well. If you keep this up, your future will be very bright..." Gu Yuan said as he took out a pill- the Great Bodhisattva Return Pill, one of the two Gu Fei had delivered earlier.


    "Take this Great Bodhisattva Return Pill. With it, your breakthrough to the Half-Saint level will happen much sooner," Gu Yuan said with a smile.


    "Father, did Brother Gu Fei give this to you?" Xun''er beamed with joy. "I knew it! Brother Gu Fei still cares about me!"


    She assumed Gu Fei was too shy to give it to her personally and had Gu Yuan deliver it on his behalf.


    "It''s true Gu Fei gave it to me, but don''t get the wrong idea. He was only contributing these pills to the n''s treasury..." Gu Yuan exined.


    As the n leader, Gu Yuan had absolute authority over resource distribution. Giving this pill to Xun''er wasn''t overly indulgent, considering her divine-grade bloodline. Besides Gu Fei, she was the most qualified young member of the n to use the Great Bodhisattva Return Pill. "Father, stop trying to dampen my spirits!" Xun''er pouted, clearly wanting to believe her own assumptions.


    "Xun''er, Gu Fei has now been appointed as the young n leader. In the future, you must support him well. The future of the Gu n will likely rest on the shoulders of your generation!" Gu Yuan said meaningfully before turning and leaving.


    He didn''t want Xun''er to remain trapped in the regrets of their failed rtionship. "Brother Gu Fei, with your Great Bodhisattva Return Pill, I''ll soon be a half-saint. No matter how high you fly, I''ll have the courage to chase after you!" Xun''er clenched the pill in her hand, filled with determination for the future.


    ...


    "Dear, I want to go back to the Nine Serene Springs for further training... Last time I was there, I felt a calling, a connection to my bloodline." Cai Lin suddenly expressed her desire to go out for cultivation.


    Now that she hadpleted the Nine Changes, her next step was to be a half-saint. With the Great Bodhisattva Return Pill and her Nine-Colored Origin Stone, her cultivation would progress rapidly if she returned to the Nine Serene Springs.


    "Alright, I''ll apany you!" Gu Fei smiled and nodded.


    He knew more about the situation at the bottom of the springs than anyone else. It was, after


    all, a ce of great fortune, specifically prepared for Cai Lin.


    Shortly afterward, Gu Fei and Cai Lin quietly left the Gu realm.


    When they arrived near the Nine Serene Springs, Yao Ming, sensing their presence, came out to greet them.


    After Gu Fei gifted him a portion of the demon saint''s blood essence, Yao Ming had broken through to the Three-Star Dou Saint level, firmly securing his position. No one within the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe dared to challenge him anymore.


    "Brother Gu Fei! It''s been a while, and your cultivation has advanced so much!" Yao Ming was shocked by the powerful aura that Gu Fei casually emitted.


    Back when Gu Fei first came, he was only a half-saint, apanied by a Four-Star Dou Saint,


    Zi Yan.


    Yet in just a few short years, Gu Fei had risen to Four-Star Dou Saint. This cultivation speed left Yao Ming feeling envious yet powerless topete.


    "Haha, Yao Ming, your progress isn''t bad either!" Gu Fei greeted him with a smile.


    "Brother Gu Fei, your recent battle where you killed the young patriarch of the Heaven Demon


    Phoenix Tribe caused quite a stir. It threw their n into turmoil!" Yao Ming remarked, mentioning one of the major events in the Beast Region.
