After the priestess fed the child, she handed him over to a maid and said to Ling Xiao, "Xiao, we should go visit Grandpa."
Ling Xiao nodded, "Yes, it's time for me to visit his hometown. Although I didn't find the Heaven Gu Divine Art, I did bring back some good stuff for the family. Consider it my first gift to the family as the son-in-law."
Ling Xiao married the priestess, so the Gu Clan was naturally considered half his family.
"What gift?" The priestess asked curiously.
"Hehe, you'll know soon enough." Ling Xiao smiled mysteriously, then he took out a ten-thousand-year-old pearl and handed it to the priestess: "Yun 'er, this is a ten-thousand-year-old pearl. It can make you even more beautiful, and it can also keep your youthful appearance forever. Quickly take it."
Ling Xiao had seen the effects of this ten-thousand-year-old pearl many times.
Every woman who ate it would experience an amazing change, and their temperament would be improved.
If other women knew that he had such a treasure, they would probably try to snatch it from him.
The priestess put away the pearl and smiled, "Let's go see Grandpa first."
If it was any other woman who could obtain such a treasure, she would definitely be ecstatic and immediately eat it.
However, the priestess didn't have long to live, so she didn't care about eternal youth.
Ling Xiao knew what the priestess was thinking, and he only felt a pain in his heart. He didn't say anything and followed her to the priestess' hall.
The bed was as big as a house, and on it was a spirit fruit juice. The gauze was so attractive.
This large moving bed was the same one where Ling Xiao and the priestess had gotten married.
Ling Xiao recalled everything that happened that day, and it still felt like a dream.
"What are you thinking about?" The priestess asked when she saw Ling Xiao staring blankly at the soft bed.
"I'm thinking about how that embroidered ball fell into my hands." Ling Xiao smiled.
"That's the will of the heavens," the priestess replied in a daze.
"Haha, I don't think it's fate. You're so beautiful. It's probably because I burned incense and prayed to Buddha in my past life. In this life, God gave you to me," Ling Xiao said gently.
The priest's female priest had never left Gu Zhai City and had never come into contact with other men. Now that Ling Xiao said this, she felt sweet in her heart, and her face was flushed.
"Let's go. Otherwise, Grandpa will have to wait for a long time." The priestess pulled Ling Xiao's hand and sat down on the soft couch.
Just as the two of them sat on the soft couch, eight people jumped out from several different corners.
Ling Xiao could immediately sense the fluctuations of their auras. They were eight King Rank experts.
As Ling Xiao's strength increased, his Perception Ability naturally increased greatly as well.
Now that he had returned to Guzhai City, he found that Guzhai City's strength was different from what he saw when he first arrived.
At that time, his vision was not wide enough, and he always felt that there were only a dozen or so Kings here, and the only Earth Sovereign was the High Priestess.
But now, he didn't think so.
Previously, when he flew back, he was surrounded by dozens of people. He clearly sensed that he couldn't see through the strength of many of them. It could be seen that they were at least Earth Sovereign, and the High Priestess' strength was more like a deep pool. He couldn't see clearly or grasp her strength. He guessed that the High Priestess' strength might be a Celestial Venerable super powerhouse.
Otherwise, how could the other sects allow them to establish their own city and survive here?
The eight King Rank experts lifted the soft couch and flew into the air. Ling Xiao and the priest's female priest sat on the soft couch like a celestial couple, looking so noble and refined.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the High Priestess Hall.
The two of them found the High Priestess.
They had just arrived at the door when they heard the High Priestess' voice, "Come in!"
The two of them walked in and bowed to the High Priestess at the same time. "Grandpa."
The High Priestess nodded lightly, her old eyes shining brightly as she examined Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao only felt that he had been exposed in front of the High Priestess without any secrets, and he felt a little scared.
"You're not bad. You still remember to come back," the High Priestess said.
Ling Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit happy about the High Priestess' praise. Instead, he revealed a look of guilt, "Grandpa, Xiao 'er is useless. I couldn't find the Heaven Gu Divine Art."
The High Priestess' old eyes dimmed. She glanced at the priest's female priest and sighed, "Sigh, is it really the will of the heavens that cannot be defied?"
"Grandpa, don't be sad. He's now a Fifth Rank Alchemist. He can help me refine the Vitality Prolonging Pill and increase my lifespan by a year," the priest's female priest consoled.
"Oh, it seems that you've really put in a lot of effort to reach the Fifth Rank?" The High Priestess looked at Ling Xiao with admiration.
"For Yun 'er, this is nothing," Ling Xiao replied without the slightest bit of pride. He then said, "Grandpa, there's one thing I don't understand."
"What do you not understand?" the High Priestess asked.
"Have you really returned to the Ancestral Land before?" Ling Xiao stared at the High Priestess and asked.
The High Priestess' eyelids twitched. "Of course I have."
Ling Xiao's face revealed a hint of anger.
The High Priestess ignored him and continued, "But I didn't dare to go in. There are many resentful spirits inside, and many of them are high-level ones. Once I get entangled, it won't be easy for me to escape. Moreover, I can sense that there are even more powerful resentful spirits inside."
Ling Xiao's anger turned into anger. He said in a low voice, "Since you know that there are so many resentful spirits inside, why did you still send me to my death?"
The High Priestess had once said that the Heaven Gu Divine Art might be in their Ancestral Land, Gu City. He also said that he had gone back but couldn't find it, so he asked Ling Xiao to go back again to see if he could find it.
However, after arriving in the Southern Region, Ling Xiao found out that Gu City had become a forbidden area. No matter how many people went in, they couldn't leave. It was simply a dead city.
Even so, for the sake of the priestess, he still entered Gu City to search for the Heaven Gu Divine Art.
He just didn't understand. Since the High Priest already knew that it was a forbidden area for humans and that he would die once he entered, why did he still let him enter Gu City?
Could it be that the High Priest didn't like him, the Prince Consort, so he wanted him to enter Gu City and be devoured by those resentful spirits?
If he didn't get to the bottom of this matter today, he would feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was already on the verge of anger, the priestess immediately held his hand and said softly, "Xiao, don't talk to grandfather like that."
"Yun 'er, it's fine. He's right. Back then, Grandfather wanted him to die. If he really is your destined one, then he will definitely be able to come out of Gu City. If not, then when he dies, you will quickly accompany him. None of you will be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs, right?
Besides, I don't know if you will go to the Southern Region for Yun 'er. If you don't go, then you can escape this calamity. It can be said that you have a tough life, "the High Priest said lightly.
Hearing the High Priest's words, not only Ling Xiao, but even the priestess was stunned.
They really didn't expect the High Priest to have such thoughts.
The priestess had a Heaven Gu Body. Once she reached the age of twenty and didn't cultivate the Heaven Gu Divine Art, she would turn into a vicious Gu King and harm the world. Therefore, she had to end her life at the age of twenty.
As the Prince Consort, Ling Xiao had the obligation to help the priestess find the Heaven Gu Divine Art.
However, the Heaven Gu Divine Art had already disappeared for ten thousand years. Finding it was simply a fantasy.
From the very beginning, the High Priest didn't think that Ling Xiao would be able to find the Heaven Gu Divine Art.
Therefore, he wanted Ling Xiao to return to Gu City so that he would die first. Then, when the priestess's life ended, they would be able to accompany each other in the Yellow Springs.
If Ling Xiao didn't go to the Southern Region, then it could be considered that he had promised the priestess to let Ling Xiao go.
This was the funeral arrangement that the High Priest had thought of for his granddaughter. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort.
He only thought that his granddaughter wouldn't be lonely when she reached the Yellow Springs, and he also felt a little better.
Hearing the High Priest's words, Ling Xiao was speechless.
The priestess was a little dissatisfied and said, "Grandpa, how can you smile at him like that? He's my husband. Even if I die, I don't want to see Tian 'er without a father."
The High Priest glanced at his granddaughter with a guilty expression and then asked Ling Xiao, "You didn't enter Gu City?"
"For Yun 'er, even if it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, I will barge into it. Otherwise, how would I know that there are vengeful spirits everywhere?" Ling Xiao replied lightly.
"Oh, then it's already amazing that you were able to escape. At least I don't have to feel guilty towards Yun 'er," the High Priest replied.
Ling Xiao really couldn't get angry at this old man at all.
He did all this for his granddaughter. From his point of view, it was understandable, but his methods were a little paranoid.
"I arrived at Gu City, but I couldn't find the Heaven Gu Divine Technique, but I found it." Ling Xiao said, and a small cauldron appeared.
This small cauldron emitted a mysterious aura, and people could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.
"You … you actually found the Heaven Gu Divine Cauldron!" The High Priest grabbed the small cauldron and shouted excitedly.
However, before he could grab it, a small golden shadow jumped out of the small cauldron.
The small golden shadow instantly swelled up, and its head burst through the house. Rays of golden light flickered, and its aura forced the three of them to fly out of the house at the same time.
"It's actually the Gold … Gold Silkworm Gu King, great, great!" The High Priest cried out in surprise.
Then, he let out a strange cry like a Gu worm, as if he was making contact with the Gold Silkworm Gu.
Unfortunately, the Gold Silkworm Gu only looked at him with contempt, and then let out a strange cry.
Then, something strange happened.
In Gu Zhai City, densely packed Gu worms emerged from every corner, making Ling Xiao's scalp tingle.
Inside Guzhai City, everyone was shocked by this phenomenon.
The experts around the High Priest Hall rushed over.
"Lord Priest, what happened?" one of the golden-robed old men asked.
"Haha, don't be nervous. Look at what that is!" The High Priest pointed at the Gold Silkworm Gu happily.
Those people looked at the Golden Silkworm Gu that was shining with golden light. Following which, everyone revealed an astonished expression.
Then, everyone's expression became fanatical, and they worshiped the Gold Silkworm Gu, even muttering some words that Ling Xiao couldn't understand.
After a while, the High Priest Hall was surrounded by Gu clansmen, and they worshiped the Gold Silkworm Gu one after another. The scene was very spectacular.
