“Simulation finalized; you can choose to retain one of the following options.”

“One, the martial arts realm you reached at thirty-two years old.”

“Two, the martial arts experience you accumulated up until being thirty-two years old.”

“Three, the wisdom acquired throughout your life until the age of thirty-two.”

Gu Yang didn’t make a choice and temporarily put it aside. Too many people were around, he’d decide when he got back to Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.

Before long, they arrived at the courtyard.

There were more than a dozen people in the courtyard, all dressed in moon-white robes.

Wang Yuanzhuo greeted Gu Yang warmly, “Master Gu.”

That day, it was thanks to Gu Yang that Vice President Zhou Zongye was saved. The entire Scholars Institute owed him a debt of gratitude.

“Professor Wang, you guys proceed with your work, I’m just having a look around,” Gu Yang said with a smile. Feeling an unusual gaze, he turned to see Ye Lingbo.

This maiden isn’t bad; she’s worth making friends with.

He remembered the last time in the simulation, after she ascended to a Celestial Being, she bravely stormed the Three Sacred Gates and rescued him.

His smile grew warmer. He nodded at her, extending a greeting.

In the courtyard, the rest of the Scholars Institute disciples were eyeing him curiously. They were all familiar with the name Gu Yang – universally recognized within the younger generation as the number one talent.

“What’s so special about this man that he can even suppress our Senior Sister Ye?”, they wondered, seeing nothing out of the ordinary.

Gu Yang didn’t pay much attention to their gazes. He strolled around the courtyard, feigning interest in the surroundings. Seeing no one looking, he sneaked into a small courtyard nearby.

He held the seal of King Qi in his hand and could clearly sense the position of a forbidden area.

Passing through the courtyard, he entered a room. Finally, he pushed open a door to find a woman’s boudoir.

By the look of it, it should be Miss Su Er’s room.

What a coincidence, the forbidden area was right under that room.

“How do I get down there?” Gu Yang wondered, just as the seal in his hand lit up and a complicated magic array sparked under his feet.

Next moment, whoosh, he disappeared from the room.

“What is”

Outside, Wang Yuanzhuo and Ye Lingbo felt something together. They turned to look at the small courtyard, astonished. With a whoosh, a figure flew to the courtyard.

They both recognized the figure as Miss Su Er, the queen’s younger sister.

Previously, Miss Su Er had kept a low profile, almost invisible. No person knew her name.

But now, no one could ignore her presence. A twenty-something Celestial immortal, enough to make any so-called geniuses envious.

People were increasingly mentioning her and Gu Yang as the Twin Jewels of Great Zhou.

The most curious thing was, no one knew her lineage or the martial arts she practiced.

She was a mystery.

While Wang Yuanzhuo was still hesitant, Ye Lingbo took a step ahead.

As they reached the spot where Gu Yang’s aura had vanished, Su Ningyan shook her head signaling she didn’t know.

Both women stopped talking and waited in place.

That fluctuation just now, it was like the legendary teleportation array.

This kind of array was a long-lost art, only surviving in ancient legends.

They all wondered what tricks Gu Yang was playing.

Gu Yang only felt a flash before his eyes and then found himself in an underground palace.

It looked a bit similar to the underground chamber in Long Autumn Palace.

He took a deep breath, sensing a more active vitality than outside. Practicing here would yield twice the result for half the effort.

At the far end of the underground palace was a door, the same kind he had seen before.

Gu Yang skillfully used King Qi’s seal to open the door and a gust of cold air rushed out revealing a crystal coffin with a figure.

In that coffin was a woman, dressed in palace attire, as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal with a distinct aura.

In the lady’s hand was a sword, the divine weapon mentioned during the simulation.

He changed his angle to get a better look. The woman had no signs of life left – she must have been dead for many years now.

“Please pardon my intrusion.”

He said softly, placing his hand on the crystal coffin.

Shortly, a prompt appeared before his eyes, “Power source detected, charge up?”

“So, it does work.” Gu Yang felt confident that the crystal coffin was not ordinary. He took a chance and it indeed provided charge.

He silently praised his cleverness.

“Yes.”

“Charging successful, received two units of energy. Current energy is: nine units.”

The coffin vanished and the woman’s body along with the sword fell to the ground.

Next, he placed his hand on the woman’s body, thinking it would be a waste to leave this body unused.

“Power source detected, charge up?”

“Yes.”

[Successful Energy Added, Acquired One Unit of Energy, Current Energy Value: Ten Units.]

“What’s going on?”

Gu Yang noticed that the woman was still calmly lying in front of him and had not disappeared. He was taken aback.

At that moment, the woman’s long eyelashes quivered. She opened her eyes, their gazes met, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

What the hell was happening?

Wasn’t she dead?

For a moment, Gu Yang thought she was playing dead and almost broke into a cold sweat.

On second thought, so what if she was playing dead? Regardless if she’s a zombie or a ghost, he could defeat her with one slap.

He still hadn’t fully adjusted to the idea.

Gu Yang changed his view and noticed that inside her body, a ball of red flames was becoming more and more vigorous. In a blink of an eye, it became as dazzling as the sun.

“Oh my, why does this power feel so familiar?”

He was startled, and at this moment, the confusion in the woman’s eyes disappeared. She regained her consciousness, looked extremely surprised, and blurted out, “Father!”

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck, crying with joy, “You’ve finally come back… sniffles…”

Gu Yang was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, he was mistaken as the master by the Little Green Bird.

Now, he was mistaken as the father by this woman.

This was too exciting.

The woman in front of him, the red flame inside her body and his True Essence were indeed extremely similar; they were from the same source.

If his guess was correct, she was likely a member of the Monster Race, possessing the bloodline of the Phoenix.

That was why she recognized him as her father.

The thing is, he wasn’t. He was only twenty-two years old, where would he get such a big daughter?

What’s scarier was that her realm was extremely high, at least the Mana Realm. Perhaps she had been dormant for too long, or was injured, her strength hadn’t fully recovered.

What if she realizes her mistake later and finds out that she mistook the person? That would be really fun to watch.

Gu Yang hurriedly pushed her away and said sternly, “Um, Miss, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

The woman was somewhat startled and looked at him. Her tears started flowing down like broken pearls. She cried sadly, “Father… Don’t you want me anymore?”

“Stop!”

Gu Yang shouted in a low voice.

The woman forced herself to stop crying.

He said solemnly, “Miss, take a good look at me, my face. And this body, a genuine human body. How could I possibly be your father? Wake up.”

The woman wiped her tears and said timidly, “But, you are my father.”

“What’s the proof? How can you prove that I am your father?”

Without saying a word, the woman picked up a sword from the ground, made a cut on her wrist, and blood gushed out. Instead of landing on the ground, the blood suspended in mid-air.

Gu Yang was stupefied by this. There was no need for her to harm herself just because of a few words, was there?

The blood was like a flame, constantly condensing and compressing. Finally, it condensed into a droplet.

With a swoosh, that droplet of blood slipped into his brow.

Gu Yang didn’t have time to react, all he felt was a loud crash in his head.

This feeling, somewhat familiar.

He suddenly remembered meeting a mysterious powerful person on Dragon Gate Island. After crushing the phoenix’s gall, that droplet of liquid also slipped into his brow.

He suddenly understood, this was a droplet of Phoenix’s Essence Blood. It wasn’t the normal Essence Blood found in King Qi’s seal, but the Essence Blood that encompassed the Phoenix’s origin.

In an instant, Gu Yang’s body was on fire, transformed into a phoenix. Power inside his body was getting stronger and stronger, quickly reaching its limit.

A moment later, he broke through the limit. Everything suddenly became clear, and he stepped into a whole new world.

After what seemed like ages, everything returned to normal.

Gu Yang opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented strong power filling his body.

He had actually broken through to the second level of Golden Body.

“Did I just break through?”

He couldn’t believe it.

This was the fastest and easiest breakthrough since he embarked on the path of cultivation.

Gu Yang looked at the woman in front of him. She seemed extremely weak, her body had changed. Initially, she seemed like a woman in her twenties, but now, she looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

Obviously, that droplet of Essence Blood had taken a great toll on her.

Seeing her body swaying, about to fall, Gu Yang subconsciously steadied her.

The young girl cried, “Father, you can’t not recognize me…”

Gu Yang was at a loss for words and remained silent in the end.

What could he say?

She had already been like this. It seemed like he had no choice but to acknowledge that he is her father.

He couldn’t possibly get a benefit, wipe his mouth, and pretend not to know her. That would be too despicable.

Who would’ve thought that he would also experience the joy of fatherhood one day.

He got such a big and filial daughter for nothing.

PS: I am now a father, please give me your monthly votes.
