Chapter 442 The Voice from the Wordless Stele
"Your mother's name..."
What puzzled Gu Jiancheng and the others was that Gu Chenyuan suddenly hesitated.
"Actually, even your father doesn't know your mother's real name."
"Father, what are you saying?" Gu Jiancheng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, his face full of doubt.
Yun Shuiyao and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
Gu Chenyuan didn't even know Gu Jiancheng's mother's name.
This is a bit outrageous!
"Ahem, it's true!" Gu Chenyuan coughed, then fell into reminiscence and said, "You don't know this, but the first time your mother and I met was on Mount Jiuyi."
“At that time, I was still a prince. I practiced martial arts here to avoid the noise and peace, but I never expected to end up back with your seriously injured mother.”
“Your mother was seriously injured at the time. From then on, I took care of her every day. We developed feelings for each other and then I brought her into the palace.”
“I once asked your mother what her name was, but she only told me that her childhood name was Bu Bu, and that’s what I’ve always called her.”
"After that, your mother passed away shortly after giving birth to you. She told me that she was not allowed to have a tombstone erected after her death!"
"Is that so?" Gu Jiancheng was even more puzzled after hearing this.
So it turns out that Mother had instructed us not to erect a tombstone?
But why is that?
"Did Mother leave any other words behind?" Yun Shuiyao suddenly asked.
Perhaps there is some other important information.
"Um, let me think..."
Gu Chenyuan thought for a moment and then said, "Bu Bu seems to have said that you will be the Human Emperor, the most powerful child in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"It seems she also said that you would know her identity and name. Oh, and your mother also said that she left something for her future daughter-in-law, but I don't know where that thing is, and your mother didn't give me anything either."
"My mother once said that I would become the Human Emperor?" Gu Jiancheng was shocked when he heard this.
The Emperor his mother spoke of was definitely not the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!
It was the Human Emperor of the Outer Heavens!
Then, his mother's identity must really be extraordinary!
As for what his mother left behind, Gu Jiancheng already knew what it was.
But as of now, Gu Jiancheng still couldn't guess who his mother was, but she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"All right!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, he extracted a wisp of profound energy from the stone tablet.
This must be what the mother left for her daughter-in-law.
When Gu Jiancheng presented this profound energy to Yun Shuiyao, everyone's expression changed.
"This is... the Qi of the Profound Realm?!"
"Mother, who exactly is she?!"
At this moment, Yun Shuiyao and the others couldn't help but gasp.
They naturally knew how precious this profound energy was!
Previously, they had only seen two Tongxuan in this realm: one was Bolun, and the other was in Gu Jiancheng's body now.
Now, this is the third one.
This strike will allow Yunshuiyao to comprehend the power of the Profound in a short period of time!
Its preciousness goes without saying.
The gift from the mother-in-law, whom I had never met before, was incredibly valuable.
"Since it's from Mother, accept it."
Gu Jiancheng smiled, then stood quietly in front of the blank stele for a long time.
He never expected that he would encounter another mystery in front of his mother's tombstone.
Clearly, this world was not as simple as he had imagined.
He still has many questions that need to be explored.
No matter what, he had to find out who his mother was.
After three days of worship on Mount Jiuyi, Gu Jiancheng and the others returned to the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Gu Jiancheng then brought Gu Chenyuan into the Mountain and River Map, using the elixir of immortality to replenish Gu Chenyuan's lifespan and enhance his cultivation.
He knew he wouldn't stay in Tianwaitian forever; all he could do was ensure his father lived a little longer.
Thus, Gu Chenyuan also experienced what was probably the happiest period of his life.
A century after entering the Mountain and River Map, he finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to return to the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Gu Jiancheng then led his wife and daughters away from Daqian and headed straight for the sacred land of Taiji Sect.
After Gu Jiancheng left, Gu Chenyuan secretly went to Mount Jiuyi, sat down in front of the stone tablet, and sighed, "Bu Bu, you've always been here, why don't you meet the child?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from inside the stone tablet, but the voice sounded very old and helpless: "The time is not right. Seeing him now will only disturb his mind."
"However, I believe that my son and I will meet, there's no rush."
"Isn't it you who's here with me? Besides, I've already met my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and I'm content. I don't want to leave them with any more worries."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say. I'll stay with you for the rest of my days!" Gu Chenyuan gazed at the white clouds and mountains on the horizon, squinted his eyes, and smiled leisurely: "With you all, my life can be considered complete."
"Hmph, just you wait and see!" The voice chuckled from within the wordless stele, then fell silent.
Not long after, Gu Jiancheng returned to the Taiji Sect, this time heading straight for the Qiankun Tower.
Because the previous master of that palace had said that the way to the Immortal Realm was inside the Qiankun Tower.
He has now attained the Profound Realm, which meets the requirements for entering the ninth level of the Qiankun Tower.
At the same time, Yun Shuiyao also fully refined the profound energy given to her by her mother-in-law, thus gaining the qualification to go to the ninth floor of the Qiankun Tower.
Thus, the two entered the Qiankun Tower hand in hand and quickly reached the ninth floor.
However, when the two stood on the ninth level of space and looked at the desolate chaos before them, they couldn't help but frown.
Because there was absolutely nothing here.
Even after Gu Jiancheng activated his Divine Eyes, this remained the case.
This is an empty world.
It doesn't even have the most basic rules.
"What's going on? Even with my Profound Realm cultivation, I can't sense any aura!"
"Does this place hold the secret to the immortal realm?"
Yunshuiyao raised an eyebrow.
At this moment, she was very puzzled.
Even if there's no passage to the Immortal Realm here, there should at least be some trace or legacy left behind!
"It must be here."
"Senior, please show yourself!"
Gu Jiancheng frowned, then cupped his hands towards the chaotic space.
The previous eight levels were all protected by powerful beings, so there's no reason why this level shouldn't exist.
"Hehe, you don't need to look for me, I'm here, and I've always been here!"
Sure enough, right after Gu Jiancheng's voice fell, a sound suddenly rang out in the void.
Immediately, a figure appeared out of thin air from nothingness.
Although Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao still couldn't sense any of his presence, this person was standing right in front of them.
This man appeared to be middle-aged, with gray hair, and possessed both dignity and heroic bearing.
"Gu Jiancheng greets senior."
Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng stepped forward again and cupped his hands in greeting.
"You possess the aura of a Human Emperor and the power of the Three Swords of the Human Emperor. Are you the new Human Emperor?"
The figure suddenly asked.
"That's right!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded, then raised his eyes and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"
Gu Jiancheng was still very curious about the identity of the person who could guard the ninth floor of the Qiankun Tower.
"Hehe, my name is Ji Fa. Unlike you, I didn't even become the Human Emperor when I was still alive!"
But the figure smiled wistfully.
Hime-Hairoku!?
The Zhou Emperor!?
