The news of Gu Family was spread like wildfire throughout the entire Zhanshan County City. Su Family, a family that was close to being an overlord, had been annihilated in a single day, and all the Martial Cultivator above Profound Level had died. This news was almost unbelievable.
If not for the fact that all of Su Family's major industries were already filled with Gu Family guards, everyone would have thought that this was just a joke.
After eliminating the Su Family, the prestige of the Gu Family had reached an unprecedented peak, and it had even exceeded the Su Family by several times. Among the new five great forces, it was not on the same level as the Qin Family, the Liu Family.
Although they were similarly ranked third, the difference between the two levels was not small. To be able to have such a position, the development of Gu Family would also become smooth sailing, and it was even possible for them to become the first to become a great power that connected several counties. Although their positions were higher, due to the special circumstances, they could not continue to expand.
"Xuan Er, take whatever you want with these treasures." Gu Tianmo led a caravan as they majestically drove back to the Gu Family, and what was slowly being carried on these carriages were treasures that had been accumulated by the Su Family for many years.
This was the bottom line of the Su Family, and was not used until now. Originally, they were prepared to use the second power in the nearby county city, but now, their Gu Family had been taken advantage of.
Gu Tianmo's face was full of smiles. These treasures, were equivalent to several times more profound energy.
Therefore, he was not stingy with Gu Xuan, even if it was a few rare treasures, Gu Xuan would have no objections if he wanted them for toys. After all, these treasures, could be said to be obtained by Gu Xuan.
"Yun Xi, is there any special treasure inside?" Gu Xuan said in a low voice.
"How can there be so many special treasures in this world? Do you think that all the treasures are picked up from the streets?" Yun Xi said in an amiable tone, "The group of Beast Fire I discovered earlier and the Spiritual Crystal's treasure trove is already considered extremely lucky. Even if my probing abilities are strong, my treasures shouldn't be at this level."
Gu Xuan laughed in embarrassment. He thought that it was too simple, as long as there were treasures, Yun Xi would be able to easily find them, but how could there be so many treasures in the world? The two treasures that she had obtained previously could be said to have been accumulated here for tens of millions of years, with some of the treasures that were not discovered being simple.
Gu Xuan glanced at it, and in the end, he had only taken a few dozen Spiritual Crystal.
"This kid, he only took something that's a bit expensive?" Gu Tianmo scolded, but he did not mind, it was only a few thousand gold coins, for the current Gu Family, it was nothing more than a drop in a bucket.
Gu Xuan arrived at the back of the mountain and sat down cross-legged. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, "In seven days, the Imperial Institution will be recruiting and I will be able to see Yueer again."
"Hey, Gu Xuan, who's Yueer?" Yun Xi could not help but ask.
"Yueer? My sister. " Gu Xuan laughed and said.
Gu Xuan thought back to the past. Yueer followed behind him like a shadow, calling him "Big Brother Gu Xuan" one after another without anyone noticing.
Even though it had already been a few years since he last saw them, and their statuses were as different as heaven and earth, Yueer's feelings for him had not decreased in the slightest.
"Yueer already possessed the Five Stars Profound Level half a year ago, and now she's probably already a Martial Cultivator of the Seven Stars Profound Level. I'm really a little embarrassed." Gu Xuan rubbed her nose, laughing at himself.
Yueer, whom he had protected since she was young, had already reached this level, yet he actually only had a mere Peak Spirit Level.
But in just seven days, Gu Xuan would have to head towards the Imperial Institution. In this short period of time, Gu Xuan was unable to gather so many Spiritual Crystal to break through.
"Forget it, let's not think about this and refine the Spiritual Crystal first. Even if it doesn't break through, the Strength of Fire is a little stronger, so it will be more beneficial for the future tests." Gu Xuan grabbed a handful of Spiritual Crystal and immediately controlled it to refine.
After adapting for the next month, Gu Xuan's rate of devouring could also be compared to before.
Seven days passed in a flash, and when morning arrived, Gu Xuan stopped his cultivation, stood up, and walked towards the Great Assembly Hall.
Gu Tianmo and Gu Sen were already waiting here, their faces full of concern.
An Imperial Institution was one of the top institutions in the Great Desolate Empire. Those who graduated from within would be able to reach the Sovereign Level. Those with good talent would even be able to reach the King Level.
Ever since his Gu Family had declined, there had never been another genius like him.
Under normal circumstances, they would not unrestrainedly announce it when they participated in examinations. However, Empire's institutions usually only required the strength of their Three Stars Profound Level to pass, so for Gu Xuan to be able to defeat Su Chen, was basically something that was destined to happen.
"Xuan Er, the Imperial Institution does not compare to the Zhanshan County City. Geniuses are as numerous as the clouds in there, and there are even many who have reached the Sovereign Level before graduation. You must be careful and not be arrogant." Gu Tianmo patted Gu Xuan's shoulder, and said solemnly.
Gu Sen frowned and looked at Gu Tianmo in displeasure: "Tian Mo, what are you saying? Although there were many geniuses in the Empire's academies, but were the Xuan Er really that bad? In my opinion, other than the so-called Top Genius s, there might not be anyone else who can firmly suppress the Xuan Er. "
"Uncle is right, but Xuan Er has no one to rely on outside. It's best to be cautious in everything he does." Gu Tianmo said again.
"Yes." Gu Sen nodded and warned, "The Xuan Er s cultivate peacefully within the institutions of the Empire. As for some conflicts, we can avoid them. I heard that there is a Mountain And River List in the Imperial Institution that can enter the top thirty. "Sigh, it's too early for you to say all of this. If you work hard, you will still be able to do so after five years. However, this old bone of mine might not be able to see this day."
A few powerful families could be conferred the title of a marquis family, obtaining a city area. There were also some families that could become a King Level family, or even break down the soil to seal the border.
It was just that in the three thousand five hundred and ninety countries of the Great Desolate Empire, there were a lot of families with the strength of Gu Family. However, there were very few people who received a marquis title, and they had to contribute greatly or have a clan that had a Peerless Genius.
And all of this, could only be accomplished by Gu Xuan.
"Mountain And River List? "Five years?" Gu Xuan laughed in his heart. For him in his previous life, being able to leave his name on the continent's Genius Ranking meant that he was now merely an academy. If he were to use five years' time, he might as well just crash his head into a wall and die.
