Chapter 24 The Imaginational Gu Yuan: The Weakling Is Actually Me?

Gu Xun'er was stunned by her father's sudden words.

Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame?

What does this have to do with the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame?

Is this a gift to thank me for this elixir?

But as for a thank-you gift, it wouldn't be appropriate to start with something like a family heirloom, such as a strange fire, right?

Besides, I already paid them before, didn't I?

Gu Xun'er fell silent for a moment, her eyes filled with a strange look as she looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan felt a pang of heartache, but thinking of the opportunity to become an emperor in his hand, he couldn't bear to give it up.

After all, while different flames can be passed down, becoming an emperor is far more tempting.

Besides, if I were to become an emperor, I could simply find another strange fire for my family.

Gu Yuan then completely put the matter aside.

Before he could say anything more, Gu Xun'er's soft and cute voice rang in his ears.

"Father, why did you take away our family's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?"

"I've already paid that senior!"

Hearing Gu Xun'er's words, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But a moment later, he realized something was wrong.

What could I possibly have to exchange for the chance to become an emperor with my own daughter?

He looked his daughter up and down.

He knows everything about his daughter; what could he not know?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Gu Xun'er had given as payment.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

The moment this thought crossed Gu Yuan's mind, his face darkened.

Looking at the inexplicable change in her father's expression, Gu Xun'er wondered if something had gone wrong with his brain.

But seeing her father's face turn dark and his constant scrutiny of her, Gu Xun'er suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

I hope my dad isn't overthinking things or coming up with some weird ideas.

Just as he thought of this, Gu Yuan returned the jade bottle in his hand to Gu Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er became even more puzzled upon seeing this change.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Gu Yuan spoke directly, his words suppressing his anger, and then slowly began to speak.

"I'll return this to your so-called senior. My ancient clan wouldn't stoop so low as to sell their daughters just to become an emperor. In a few days, I'll send you to the Xiao family. If we can obtain their Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, we too can unlock the secret of becoming an emperor!"

Selling his daughter?

What is all this about?

Wait, did Father just say he was going to send me to the Xiao family?

Which Xiao family?

Gu Xun'er's delicate face darkened, and then she began to speak with a hint of anger.

"Father, what are you thinking? That senior is our human race's ancestor. He didn't ask for much; this pill is practically a gift to us!"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

The ancestors of the human race?

What does this mean?

Does this race exist on the Dou Qi Continent?

Before his mind could process what was happening, he heard Gu Xun'er speak again to explain.

"Father, that person is the ancestor of our entire human race. Can you please stop having such strange and bizarre ideas?"

Gu Yuan felt embarrassed upon hearing Gu Xun'er's words.

Then he remembered what Gu Xun'er had said.

He started to think for a moment.

The ancestor of the entire human race?

No one knows exactly how many years have passed since the birth of the human race.

Could this ancestor have lived that long?

However, a moment later, he remembered the commotion from before.

A single pill can exude an aura surpassing that of a Dou Sheng. Although the exact cultivation level is unclear, it is certain that it is at least a Dou Di.

The ability to casually create a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) is undoubtedly a testament to an incredibly powerful being.

If the other party has lived this long, it doesn't seem surprising.

But what level of cultivation does he possess to live this long?

Could it be that there are other realms above the Dou Di realm?

Moreover, where did that pill go after it shattered the void?

For a moment, his heart was filled with curiosity.

Curiosity aside, now that I've found a way to earn enough to become a Dou Di, I should personally upgrade and see what's going on.

Perhaps we'll even encounter that legendary ancestor.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

After pondering for a long time, Gu Xun'er looked at the jade bottle that Gu Yuan had brought over and made a move to take it back.

"Since Father doesn't want this, I'll take it back. I might need it someday."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan also came to his senses and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Ahem, well, this is such a precious thing. I'll keep it safe for you, and while I'm at it, I'll test it out for you. Is it really useful? What if it's poisonous?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er rolled her eyes dramatically.

"You're such a caring father!"

"Father, what did you mean by sending me to the Xiao family?"

"Why didn't you know about this? Shouldn't you explain?"

Gu Yuan was a little embarrassed for a moment, but in the end he decided to skip the topic and then spoke directly.

"Let's skip that question. With this, once I become emperor, you won't need to go anywhere."

"Actually, the reason I'm sending you over is for your sake, and also for our ancient clan. Recently, the Soul Clan has been acting strangely, and we feel that something is amiss with them. So, to prevent any accidents from happening, we must have a Dou Di to protect our family and the continent."

Gu Yuan spoke with righteous indignation.

However, becoming an emperor is something every martial artist dreams of, and no one can resist the temptation of becoming an emperor.

His own father was just making excuses.

Gu Xun'er ignored her father and pushed him out of the room. But just before closing the door, she threw a jade stone out and it landed in Gu Yuan's hand.

"Our ancestor said this technique is even stronger and can be used in conjunction with elixirs. Go ahead and practice it yourself, and don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Gu Yuan glanced at the jade in his hand and stared blankly for a moment.

I became curious and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, I felt a flood of information rushing into my mind.

He initially thought his daughter was just joking, but after actually reading the cultivation technique, he realized how powerful it was.

He could understand the first part of the vast content, but much of the later content was completely incomprehensible to him.

However, he did manage to accurately determine the division of its internal realms.

According to this cultivation method, his current realm is actually only the Blood Core realm, where Qi and Blood are formed into a pill.

Standing there dumbfounded for a moment, Gu Yuan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the series of realms that followed.

Is he a peak Dou Sheng, or just a complete weakling?
