Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

The five branches of Gushe Mountain are led by the Gushe clan, whose eldest elder, Gushe Changfeng, is also the lord of Gushe Mountain.

The second lineage is the Beiming Clan, with the Grand Elder Beiming Yudie; the third lineage is the Huangfu Clan, with the Grand Elder Huangfu Changsheng; the fourth lineage is the Tantai Clan, with the Grand Elder Tantai Mingyue; and the fifth lineage is the Nangong Clan, with the Grand Elder Nangong Ningshuang.

Three of the five lineages have female elders, which is related to the fact that most of the followers of Fairy Gushe were women. It is said that women accounted for more than 90% of Fairy Gushe's many disciples.

Moreover, Fairy Gushe is a complete looks-obsessed person. When choosing disciples, she insists on those with excellent appearance and temperament. However, in reality, most people with outstanding talent are not bad in appearance and temperament.

In the final round of the Five Families Grand Competition, the five Grand Elders gathered at Qingyun Square. All five were dressed in white robes, their garments fluttering, making them appear like immortals.

Gu She Changfeng looked like a handsome middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, exuding an aura of unparalleled nobility and majesty.

Bei Mingyudie, on the other hand, appears to be a stunningly beautiful woman in her early twenties, with an even more aloof and cold demeanor than Tantai Mingyue, which can be described as icy and frosty.

However, her appearance was flawless, and her figure was perfect; any man who saw her would feel a desire to conquer her.

Huangfu Changsheng, on the other hand, was a gentle and refined young man, but his eyes also revealed the vicissitudes of a mature man. He did not look as outstanding as Gu She Changfeng, but he gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Nangong Ningshuang was the most unique. She looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Although she was also dressed in white, while others wore long robes and gauze dresses, she wore a long skirt with a cinched waist. She looked pure and lively, and even her eyes exuded a pure aura. You couldn't tell at all that she was an old monster at the level of a god.

In contrast, Tantai Mingyue's image is more suitable for her identity. She looks like a beautiful young woman in her twenties or thirties, with a voluptuous and alluring figure and a mature and beautiful temperament. Although she is somewhat aloof, she is still approachable.

With the arrival of these five elders, the entire Qingyun Square fell silent. Hundreds of thousands of people landed back on the ground and listened respectfully to the teachings of the five elders.

Only then did the five prodigies, including Rean, appear before everyone.

In the final round of the competition, two members of the main lineage entered the finals: one each from Huangfu, Beiming, and Tantai, while the Nangong clan had no members.

This is understandable. With so many outstanding talents from the five lineages, competing for five spots in the finals is definitely not an easy task. Before Rean appeared, many people thought that the Tantai lineage would not be able to enter the finals this time, since there were no decent disciples among the current generation of Tantai lineage disciples.

However, no one expected that an absolute dark horse would suddenly emerge, sweeping all before it. It not only defeated the other seed-level contestants from Gushou Mountain in a head-on battle, but also personally defeated Nangong Wulu, the prodigy of the Nangong lineage, and won one of the five seats.

As Rean and the other four appeared, they instantly attracted the attention of countless people. These five people were undoubtedly handsome men and beautiful women, but people's eyes were immediately drawn to Rean.

Also dressed in white, Rean appeared harmless and handsome beyond compare, more like a god from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. The ethereal and otherworldly aura he exuded even outshone Gu She Changfeng.

He became the center of attention, with even the five elders, including Gu She Changfeng, silently watching him.

Tantai Mingyue looked at her beloved disciple, a slight smile playing on her lips. The moment she saw Li En, she knew he was exceptionally talented. Even without considering anything else, his appearance and demeanor alone suggested he was outstanding. Gu She Changfeng briefly explained before announcing the start of the final round. The five participants would have to compete in pairs to complete a cycle of ten matches.

Rean didn't care about the competition rules at all. With his current strength, if he still needed to put in effort to deal with a few world lords, then he would have been wasting his time.

No matter who the opponent is, just suppress them ruthlessly.

As the battle began, all five individuals unleashed their true strength. The prodigy of the Gushe lineage displayed the Gushe Mountain's signature technique—the Heavenly Sword Art—demonstrating astonishing power.

The prodigies of the Huangfu lineage unleashed terrifying power, conservatively estimated to be over a thousand times greater than that of a peak Realm Lord, which is truly terrifying.

The fact that the prodigy of the Beiming lineage had begun to comprehend the fundamental laws of time shocked everyone present.

However, when they faced Rean, without exception, they all suffered defeat!
If you excel in secret techniques, I will use secret techniques to win; if you excel in strength, I will use strength to suppress you; if you comprehend the origin of time, I will unleash an even more powerful origin of time.

After Rean won four duels by himself, he was already the undisputed number one. Although the battles of the other four were not yet over, people had lost interest and were all immersed in Rean's terrifying talent and strength.

In the end, Rean undoubtedly became the leader of the Five Families and obtained the position of Holy Son. With Tantai Mingyue backing him up, naturally no one dared to question his identity.

Although Gu She Changfeng was somewhat displeased, he still generously bestowed a low-grade spiritual treasure upon Li En and offered him some kind words of encouragement.

This low-grade spiritual treasure is called the Purple Cloud Sword. It is a replica of the legendary treasure Xuanyuan Sword. As the first of the ten ancient divine weapons of the Desolate Ancient Continent, although the Xuanyuan Sword was created later, it is still comparable to the legendary treasures such as the Chaos Bell and the Pangu Banner.

Although the Purple Cloud Sword only has one ten-thousandth of the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, it is already very powerful. Now that it has been bestowed upon Rean, it has greatly increased Rean's strength, since what he lacks most is a treasure.

Low-grade spiritual treasures, also known as heavy treasures, are worth at least several trillion Chaos Units. Rean couldn't afford them even in the Primal Universe, but he obtained them so easily in this Desolate Ancient Continent.

Having obtained the Purple Cloud Sword and the title of Holy Son, Rean's status on Mount Gushou immediately reached an extremely high level, seemingly second only to the five Grand Elders.

Of course, most of those former Holy Sons have now grown into Elders. However, since none of them have reached the Venerable Realm, their status is not as high as that of Rean now, since Rean has the opportunity to reach the Venerable Realm.

However, after becoming a Holy Son, Rean had to take turns receiving guidance from the five Grand Elders, a rule that had been in place since ancient times, and the five Grand Elders were not allowed to hold back their knowledge.

After all, the Holy Son's status on Mount Gushou is equivalent to the future of Mount Gushou. If Rean is nurtured into a Venerable, the power of Mount Gushou will increase significantly. (End of Chapter)
