Void and ethereal land.
Gu Tianxing brought Gu Chaoxi inside.
Starting today, he would formally conduct martial dao training on this son who reincarnated through the Spirit of Reincarnation, with a tentative time of five years.
“No matter what identity you had in your previous life, starting today, forget all the martial techniques you learned. Don’t cultivate them anymore, because that’s wasting time and wasting life.” Gu Tianxing said.
These words were arrogant!
But someone who could chop down a warship with one axe had the capital to be arrogant!
“Understood!”
Gu Chaoxi understood his father’s formidability well, so from birth until now he hadn’t considered martial dao, completely counting on him to cultivate this piece of beautiful jade.
“Come!”
Gu Tianxing said: “Begin!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
As soon as his voice fell, duplicates materialized one after another. He said: “This is a martial art I created by gathering my life’s effort, called the Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula. Today I’m teaching it to you – it will aid your future martial dao cultivation.”
“Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula?”
Gu Chaoxi felt it sounded somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember no matter how he thought.
This showed that although he’d recalled some memories from Eternal Sect, he hadn’t remembered the martial techniques he’d cultivated. Otherwise he’d definitely exclaim: “Isn’t this my big brother’s sect’s unique martial technique!”
“Of course.”
Gu Tianxing explained: “The Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula’s function isn’t in actual combat, but in providing comprehension in martial arts and other areas. I was able to achieve accomplishments in both martial dao and medical dao because of this.”
“Sit down.”
“Now I’ll teach you the incantation.”
“Yes!”
Gu Chaoxi sat down, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
A martial technique created by a powerhouse like his father would definitely be extraordinary!
“Of course.”
Gu Tianxing reminded: “The martial art I created is profound and mysterious. When you first cultivate it you may not master it, so don’t be too impatient. After all, the path of martial dao – haste makes waste.”
“I’ll remember Father’s teachings.”
“Listen well.”
Gu Tianxing spoke the incantation word by word, finally adding: “After you go home, ask your mother for the manual.”
“…”
Gu Chaoxi’s mouth twitched.
The martial art Father created, Mother kept custody of – the family hierarchy was evident at a glance!
“Son.”
Gu Tianxing also sat down and said: “You should have martial dao foundation. First cultivate on your own for a while. If there’s anything you don’t understand, speak up and I’ll give you some pointers.”
What a great father – making others envious.
“Okay!”
Gu Chaoxi embraced unity and guarded oneness, beginning to repeatedly ponder the incantation his father taught. His little brow immediately furrowed.
Gu Tianxing summoned a table from his spatial ring, then placed a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine on it, apparently planning to sip a few cups.
“Dad.”
Gu Chaoxi said: “Did Mother give you permission to drink?”
Gu Tianxing tossed him a peanut and scolded: “The biggest taboo in cultivating martial dao is getting distracted. Quickly calm your mind and cultivate. As for drinking, absolutely don’t tell your mother when we get back.”
“Okay, okay.”
Gu Chaoxi stopped thinking about it and continued comprehending the Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula.
Gu Tianxing ate peanuts while drinking, thinking: “These two years I’ve cleansed his marrow and cut his bones, so his physique has no problems. I wonder how his aptitude is.”
The reason for teaching him the Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula was mainly to test his aptitude. If he could master it in three days… lowering the standard a bit, ten days would be considered very qualified, and he’d definitely achieve great things in the future!
“Dad.”
At this moment, Gu Chaoxi’s call interrupted his thoughts. He immediately frowned: “What now?”
The path of martial dao values calm focus.
Constantly interrupting right at the start of cultivation left Gu Tianxing very disappointed.
“That…”
Gu Chaoxi scratched his head and said: “I think I’ve learned it.”
“What?”
Gu Tianxing was stunned: “Learned it?”
“Yes.”
Gu Chaoxi nodded.
“Nonsense!”
Gu Tianxing stood up and walked over, grabbing his ear to scold: “Less than one cup of tea has passed and you’ve learned it? Do you think your father is an idiot?”
“I really learned it!”
Gu Chaoxi said aggrieved: “If Dad doesn’t believe me, I’ll demonstrate it for you.”
“Fine.”
Gu Tianxing released him, stepped back, and crossed his arms: “If you can demonstrate it, from today on I’ll never touch another drop of alcohol!”
Such confidence came from spending over a thousand years creating the Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula. Even if his son was monstrously talented, comprehending it in less than a cup of tea was absolutely impossible – it didn’t exist!
“Whew!”
Gu Chaoxi exhaled, then closed his eyes.
In his consciousness sea appeared the strange and peculiar incantation, then transformed into crisscrossing human figures.
“Buzz!”
His body trembled, and a duplicate appeared.
Seeing this, Gu Tianxing’s expression showed dullness, then his mouth slowly opened.
That’s right!
From the aura and form, it was indeed the Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula!
“Am I dreaming?”
Gu Tianxing hurriedly rubbed his eyes. After confirming his son had condensed a genuine shadow division, he said incredulously: “How is this possible!”
…
Inside the thatched cottage.
Mother Gu rummaged through boxes and cabinets before pulling out an exquisite box, casually removing the layers of seals on its surface.
“Husband had foresight.”
“Collecting martial techniques in advance and storing them, so he could teach our son later.”
She opened the box – inside were placed quite a few aged manuals.
At this moment, if a powerhouse were present, they’d definitely be envious to tears, because every martial art inside was among the rarest treasures in the entire upper universe.
“Great Thousand Shadow Division Formula.”
Mother Gu recited, then searched through them one by one. Her expression gradually changed, because she couldn’t find it!
“Was it stolen?”
She immediately rejected this speculation.
The manuals were placed in the box with many seals on the surface. Since the seals were intact, it meant they hadn’t been tampered with – theft didn’t exist.
“Was it not put in?” Mother Gu began trying hard to recall, remembering she’d received it from her husband, then placed it inside – this possibility shouldn’t exist.
Wrong!
Something’s suspicious!
Mother Gu sat down, carefully and thoroughly recalling. When she remembered that when she asked her husband for the manual, he repeatedly declined, her willow-leaf brows furrowed: “He must have tampered with it beforehand, then secretly took the manual to trade for alcohol!”
“Gu Tianxing!”
“Get your ass back here!”
Gu Tianxing, who was teaching his son, suddenly heard a sharp shout and was immediately shaken so his head tilted to one side.
“Not good! Your mother’s angry!”
…
“Wife, I’m wronged!”
“I gave you the manual. It suddenly disappeared – how can you blame me!”
“I swear I didn’t trade it for alcohol!”
…
The next day.
Still in the void and ethereal land, Gu Tianxing stood with hands behind his back, that immortal sage aura especially rich.
“Dad.”
Gu Chaoxi said weakly: “Are you sure you don’t need treatment?”
“Don’t need it.”
Gu Tianxing said: “I can handle it.”
The camera gradually turned over, showing his face stacked with huge bumps, his eyes compressed into lines – his appearance was truly miserable beyond words.
“Amazing!”
Gu Chaoxi admired him.
Just yesterday Mother’s domestic violence methods, yet Father didn’t make a sound – he’d definitely experienced a thousand temperings to reach this supreme realm!
“Gu Tianxing!”
“Get your ass back here!”
Suddenly, Mother Gu’s scream came again.
Gu Tianxing collapsed: “Oh heaven, don’t tell me more things are missing?”
He guessed right. Returning to the thatched cottage, Mother Gu placed another exquisite box on the table, transforming into a lioness: “Did you also sell the Radiant Illumination Heart Sutra and Heaven-Crossing Palm Seal!”
“No! Absolutely not!”
“The seals are intact – how could they be gone!”
“I don’t know!”
…
Eternal Sect.
After bathing and changing clothes, Jun Changxiao sat in his study and opened the Store, praying: “I don’t expect items that help raise realm, but at least give me some Immortal-grade martial arts!”
