Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

Gu Xiaolou put down her teacup and looked out the window.

"It's almost time."

Gu Qingxiao nodded.

"Let's go."

They came to Chengtian Immortal City today not to listen to storytelling.

The two belong to the Sky Patrol Division and are responsible for inspecting the newly built immortal city and various interdimensional arrays on a daily basis. They also occasionally take on some guiding missions.

This time, they are going to a pioneering cultivation world called Qingluo Realm to bring a group of cultivators who have made meritorious contributions into the five domains of the human race.

As Gu Xiaolou walked out of the restaurant, he casually asked:

"Whose house are we picking up this time?"

"Didn't you look at the roster?"

"I read the first two pages, but forgot the rest."

Gu Qingxiao was silent for a moment.

It's still the same Gu Xiaolou as before.

I just know better than before when to shut up.

"The Xu family of Qingluo Realm."

"Xu Chang'an's clansmen."

Upon hearing this name, Gu Xiaolou paused in her steps.

"Xu Chang'an, the Sword Master in Green Robes?"

"It's him."

Gu Qingxiao tossed her a mission jade slip.

"After the celestial palace mobilized, he was among the first to join the Conquest Hall. In ten years, he killed six alien Mahayana cultivators and guarded the interdimensional passage outside the Xuanfeng Realm for three days, saving two celestial armies."

"Not long ago, the Conquest Hall listed him as a candidate for celestial official."

Gu Xiaolou scanned the jade slip with his divine sense, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Xu Chang'an was already a well-known name before the war began.

It is said that this person came from an insignificant little family in the Qingluo Realm. He had extremely poor aptitude in his youth and failed to establish his foundation at the age of seventeen.

Later, through some unknown opportunity, he rose to prominence.

First, he rescued his cousin who had been taken away by a major sect, and then he single-handedly quelled the evil cultivator forces that had been entrenched in the Qingluo Realm for hundreds of years.

Later, he began to travel around and explore the world of cultivation.

Slay the demons you encounter.

When faced with a massacre by foreign tribes, he took up his sword to defend the city.

In just three hundred years, he actually went from a boy who couldn't even establish a foundation to the Great Ascension Perfection!

What's even more remarkable is that this person has an excellent reputation outside the community.

Countless sects, families, and ordinary cultivators have benefited from his kindness.

With the human race waging war against other nations, his fortune has grown even stronger, making him one of the most dazzling figures among the new generation of pioneering cultivators.

There are many other exceptional talents like him.

Someone received the inheritance of an ancient immortal in the battlefield outside the boundary.

Some people bathed in the true blood of a foreign race, forcibly transforming their own bloodline.

Some people even save beings from another realm, receiving the blessings of heaven and earth, and their cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.

The Immortal Palace brought the clansmen of these meritorious cultivators into the Five Domains, ostensibly as a reward, but in reality, it also completely bound the two sides together.

The clansmen cultivated peacefully under the rule of the Immortal Palace.

Those exceptional talents would naturally be even more willing to fight for the Celestial Palace.

But nobody knew.

More than three hundred years ago, Xu Chang'an was kneeling on the back mountain of his family, punching the soil again and again.

Until he picked up a small, palm-sized, blue pot from the pit.

That little pot is still hidden inside his body.

A faint wisp of energy, spanning countless miles, always connected to the celestial palace high above the human realm.

……

In the center of Chengtian Immortal City.

The cross-dimensional array slowly lit up.

After verifying their identities, Gu Qingxiao and Gu Xiaolou quickly disappeared into the formation.

When it reappeared, it was already in the Green Vine Realm.

The Xu family members were already waiting outside the reception platform.

The number of people is not large, only a little over a hundred at most.

The leader was a female cultivator with a full head of white hair, but whose face remained gentle.

Gu Qingxiao had seen her name.

Xu Funing.

Xu Chang'an's cousin, who is also the current head of the Xu family.

The "Fu Mei" whom Xu Chang'an desperately tried to save back then has now also entered the Void Returning Realm.

Upon seeing the two men's robes of judicial officers, Xu Funing immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"The Xu family of Qingluo Realm pays respects to the two patrolling deacons."

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone has arrived."

Gu Qingxiao nodded.

"Let's board the ship."

What happened next was not complicated.

After checking the roster and verifying identities, the Xu family members were then sent onto the pre-prepared interdimensional immortal ship.

Half a day later, the celestial ship passed through the interdimensional passage and returned to Chengtian Celestial City.

The moment the cabin door of the fairy boat opened, many young people from the Xu family stood frozen in place.

They had never seen such a vast immortal city before.

Looking up, there is a celestial palace suspended in the sea of ​​clouds; underfoot is a long river of array patterns that connects dozens of cultivation worlds. Even the armored soldiers responsible for maintaining order are mostly Void Returning or Integration Stage cultivators.

Several elderly members of the Xu family watched all this, their eyes reddening.

Xu Chang'an spent ten years fighting to pave a true path to the center of the human race for the entire Xu family.

The Xu family members were soon taken away by another group of Immortal Palace cultivators.

They will obtain an independent territory in a newly built immortal city outside the Five Realms.

As long as Xu Chang'an doesn't die, and even becomes a True Immortal in the future, the Xu family will have the opportunity to use this migration to truly become a vast immortal clan spanning multiple realms.

Similar things have happened many times over the past decade.

Some individuals, families, or sects may fall and lose power in the war, while others may seize the opportunity to rise to prominence.

Gu Qingxiao returned the mission jade slip to the Sky Patrol Division's reception platform. After confirming his merits, he prepared to return to the Celestial Palace with Gu Xiaolou.

The two had just turned around.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"The Fairy of the Little Building"

"Why do you always rush to leave whenever you see me?"

Gu Xiaolou paused slightly.

The expression on her face also faded slightly after hearing that voice.

The newcomer was dressed in a light gold robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and was followed by two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Han Jingyuan.

A direct descendant of Han Xuance, the newly promoted True Immortal of the Celestial Palace.

The great battle ten years ago not only gave opportunities to prodigies like Xu Chang'an.

Similarly, some people break through the bottleneck between life and death and become true immortals.

Han Xuance was one of them.

As a result, the Han family transformed from an ordinary Mahayana family into a True Immortal family.

However, while the newly promoted True Immortal family sounds impressive, it is actually not that impressive in the actual Immortal Palace.

Those immortal families with lineages spanning tens of thousands of years looked down on the Han family's heritage.

Han Jingyuan felt that women from ordinary sects and families were not worthy of his status.

After much deliberation, he finally set his sights on Gu Xiaolou.

A descendant of the Immortal Official Zhenyan.

The identity is sufficient.

Unfortunately, the Flame-Suppressing Immortal Official had been missing for over three hundred years, and the Gu family had no other foundation in the Immortal Palace.

In Han Jingyuan's opinion, this couldn't be more suitable.

"Three days from now, my Han family will be hosting a banquet at the Ziyun Immortal Pavilion."

Han Jingyuan walked closer, a smile he thought was gentle on his face.

"This young master is still missing a female companion."

"If Fairy Xiaolou has time, you may come with me."

"I'm busy."

Gu Xiaolou answered very decisively.

Han Jingyuan's smile froze for a moment.

Many people around have already noticed this place.

He had just become a direct descendant of a True Immortal, and was at the time when he valued his reputation the most. How could he accept such a direct rejection from Gu Xiaolou?

"Gu Xiaolou".

"The fact that I, a young master, am willing to invite you is an honor."

"You really think you're still the true immortal descendant who was personally brought into the Celestial Palace by the Flame-Suppressing Immortal Official?"

Gu Qingxiao stepped forward and blocked Gu Xiaolou's path.

"Fellow Daoist Han."

"This is the reception platform of the Sky Patrol Division."

"We have official business to attend to, please move aside."

"Official business?"

Han Jingyuan gave a cold laugh.

"What official duties could two lowly border patrol officers possibly have?"

"Do you really think that just because your ancestor's immortal life flame is still burning, he is still alive?"

Gu Qingxiao's eyes instantly turned cold.

"What do you mean?"

Han Jingyuan glanced around, lowered his voice, and his expression became increasingly sarcastic.

"Your ancestor cultivated the pure fire path and was summoned to the Fire Virtue Main Hall as soon as he achieved True Immortal status."

"They haven't come out for over three hundred years, don't you understand?"

"He was devoured by the Palace Master of the Fire Virtue Immortal Palace long ago, becoming resources for the other party to recover!"

"You really think... the Gu family is still some kind of True Immortal Family these days?"
