Jun Changxiao successfully spirited away his brother and sister-in-law.

However, all the heavenly treasures that Gu Tianxing had painstakingly cultivated were gone.

Many people instinctively believed the culprit must be Gou Sheng, because he had this criminal record, and especially since he’d just been beaten, there was motive.

The truth?

The one who stole the heavenly treasures was Gu Zhaoxi.

Over these years, he’d been responsible for watering and cultivating the medicinal materials his father planted, gradually developing feelings for them. Worried they’d be affected by his mother’s domestic violence, he’d collected them all into his spatial ring.

Guard against thieves day and night, but household thieves are hard to prevent.

As for Jun Changxiao, after being abused by Gu Tianxing for a full hour, unless his brain had been kicked by a donkey, would he dare steal anything more before leaving?

“Father.”

“I’ll cultivate them well!”

Standing by the window, looking at the Mountain Sea Realm growing more distant in the starry sky, Gu Zhaoxi’s eyes brimmed with tears.

In this life, he’d deeply experienced parental love. Parting naturally brought sorrow.

“Brother.”

Jun Changxiao walked over and patted his shoulder, “Young eagles must eventually leave the nest and soar alone through the heavens.”

Gu Zhaoxi wiped away his tears and smiled brightly, “Thank you, Sect Leader Jun.”

“Drop the ‘Jun.'”

“Huh?”

“Stop pretending, Elder Gu.”

…

Mountain Sea Realm.

Gu Tianxing recovered from the medicinal material theft and said in shock, “Where’s my son!”

“He left with Sect Leader Jun.” Mother Gu said.

Gu Tianxing said angrily, “Good! He stole my heavenly treasures and abducted my son. Is that boy tired of living!”

“Also!”

“Why didn’t you stop him!”

“Our son was an Eternal Sect elder in his past life. Now that their sect leader personally came to find him, why should we stop him?”

“Right.”

Gu Tianxing slapped his forehead and said, “I almost forgot about that.”

Actually, the Gu couple already knew about Gu Zhaoxi’s past life. To be precise, their son had voluntarily confessed, after all, the Reincarnation Spirit had long been exposed.

“The Mountain Sea Realm and the Upper Realm are separated by vast distances. Even with a Star Spirit Realm warship, it would consume massive amounts of energy. For Sect Leader Jun to personally rush here from so far away shows how much he values our son.” Mother Gu said.

“That’s right!”

Gu Tianxing remembered something and said, “No wonder our son learned the Heaven-Crossing Palm Seal so quickly. Turns out in his past life he’d already comprehended it at the Eternal Sect!”

As he spoke, he fell silent.

That boy not only instantly learned the Heaven-Crossing Palm Seal but also instantly learned the Radiant Heart Sutra and Thousand Illusion Shadow Art. Did that mean…

“Thieving bastard!”

Gu Tianxing roared at the heavens, “Just how many of my martial arts did you steal!”

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the Mountain Sea Realm Lord flew over at extreme speed, landing with a boom before the Gu couple, pulling out a letter and saying angrily, “Your son eloped with my daughter!”

“What?”

Gu Tianxing was dumbfounded.

The two were engaged, and the parents didn’t object. Was there any need to elope!

“What are you standing there for!”

The Mountain Sea Realm Lord roared, “Hurry up and chase them!”

“In-law, no need to worry.” Mother Gu said, “Gou Wa and Lin’er leaving this time is also a form of tempering. Perhaps it will help them gradually develop feelings.”

Gu Tianxing didn’t notice Jun Changxiao slipping away because he’d been under domestic violence the entire time. Mother Gu, however, had been paying attention all along. She didn’t stop them because she hoped her son and daughter-in-law could build a relationship of holding hands and growing old together through trials and tribulations.

To put it plainly.

Mother Gu preferred seeing them leave together rather than waiting in the Mountain Sea Realm to hastily marry without any emotional foundation after coming of age.

“Fine.”

The Mountain Sea Realm Lord gave up on chasing his daughter.

Since she insisted on eloping with her fiancé, then let her go. After all, a married daughter is like spilled water.

“Son.”

Gu Tianxing looked toward the heavens and said, “I’m giving you ten years. After ten years, I’ll take you to participate in the Universal Holy War.”

“You’ve thought it through?” the Mountain Sea Realm Lord said.

“Although I’m indifferent to fame and fortune and don’t concern myself with worldly affairs, my son needs tempering, and the Universal Holy War is exactly that opportunity.” Gu Tianxing said.

“From what I know.”

The Mountain Sea Realm Lord said, “Many top geniuses from first-tier planes have registered. Competing for one of the Azure Sea System’s slots will be extremely difficult.”

“Difficult for others.”

Gu Tianxing said, “For my son, it’s like taking something from a pocket.”

“Hahaha!”

The Mountain Sea Realm Lord laughed heartily, “Since you’re so confident, I’ll wait ten years from now in the spectator seats to witness how my worthy son-in-law dominates the competition!”

…

“How.”

“Did I die?”

On the Eternal, Gu Zhaoxi’s face was stern, the innocence in his eyes replaced by weathered experience.

“As expected.”

Jun Changxiao said, “You’ve lost some of your memories.”

He knew that as long as his brother relied on the Reincarnation Spirit to reincarnate, he would inevitably lose some important memories. For example, their Upper Realm meeting—he completely didn’t remember who he was.

“Relax your mind.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I’m taking you somewhere.”

“What place?”

“You’ll know when we get there.”

“Oh.”

Gu Zhaoxi relaxed his mind. He felt his vision blur, and then appeared in an environment resembling a prison.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Lights flared up, dazzling and brilliant.

After Gu Zhaoxi adapted, he instinctively looked up. After Black Cat Sheriff fired five shots, several large characters floated in the air above—Tianyuan Prison Tower!

“Brother.”

Jun Changxiao patted his shoulder and said, “Next, I’ll conduct comprehensive treatment on you. The process will be painful, but it will definitely help you recover one hundred percent of your lost memories.”

“…”

Gu Zhaoxi shivered.

“Clap!”

Jun Changxiao clapped his hands and said, “Er Ya, your old friend is here again.”

“Er Ya?”

Gu Zhaoxi muttered, “Sounds a bit familiar!”

Somehow, his heart suddenly accelerated, every hair stood on end, cold sweat poured from his palms and soles, his calves trembled uncontrollably, and he could barely stand.

Counting carefully.

Gu Zhaoxi had already entered three times.

“Hi.”

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded by his ear.

Gu Zhaoxi stiffly turned his head and saw a seemingly real yet illusory girl standing before him. She held a candle in her hand, and because it was positioned under her chin, her entire face was illuminated in an extremely sinister and terrifying way.

Beside the girl stood two more people, one in white clothes and one in black clothes, with “White Impermanence” and “Black Impermanence” written on their foreheads respectively, their bright red tongues nearly dragging on the ground.

“Ghosts—”

…

Gu Zhaoxi entered the Tianyuan Prison Tower for the second time to receive Er Ya’s treatment. Because the process was written too explicitly, it was censored and underwent major revisions and deletions. To avoid similar situations, the following will adopt an abbreviated approach.

“No need to abbreviate!”

Gu Zhaoxi roared, “I remember now!”

The instant Er Ya strung him up, memories sealed deep in his soul surged out like a bursting flood.

My name is Gu Zhaoxi.

I’m the sect leader’s sworn brother.

I’m an Eternal Sect elder.

I carried explosives for the sake of the Upper Realm’s masses and charged toward the Star Spirit Realm’s nine warships!

“Old brother!”

“Big brother!”

Jun Changxiao and Gu Zhaoxi embraced tearfully, the scene as touching as it could be.

Er Ya, who had prepared all her treatment tools, watched the master and brother reunite again and said, “After finally getting screen time, it ended before I could perform much.”

“Sigh.”

Zhao Doudou and Dai Lü sighed, “Can we get at least a line of dialogue?”
