Chapter 480 "Extra Chapter: I Was Reincarnated"
[In the original book's epilogue about Erzai, the author showed great sympathy for this character, dedicating a separate chapter to his fate. May our Erzai be decisive and ruthless in the New World, living freely and joyfully.]
-
A sacred mountain shrouded in ethereal mist.
A magnificent building, resembling a temple, stands atop it, appearing from a distance like a castle in the air.
The building was bustling with activity at that moment.
"Madam is about to give birth! After two years of pregnancy, she's finally going into labor!!"
"Yes, yes, if we don't have children soon, who knows how crazy the patriarch will become."
"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to die?"
"Don't worry, the young master is about to be born today, the head of the family won't be angry. Besides, if the madam's delivery goes smoothly, he will even give us a reward."
"It would be wonderful if there were a reward. I'm stuck at a cultivation level and desperately need some resources. Madam, please make sure your delivery goes smoothly! Lord Heaven, please protect our young master and ensure his safe arrival..."
At the prayers of all.
Suddenly, a large patch of auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and then it started to rain.
As the rain fell, a hundred flowers bloomed, releasing a delightful fragrance.
When people drink it, their spiritual realm loosens, and some even break through directly.
A joyful voice rang out, "I've broken through! This Spirit Rain is truly divine!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to catch the rain.
Just then, the main hall emitted a dazzling golden light that shot straight into the sky.
Then, a hearty laugh rang out.
"My Gu family has a successor, hahahahahahaha."
"Such an extraordinary phenomenon! My son will surely become a powerful figure!!"
The unusual activity even alarmed the clan elders.
Several figures suddenly appeared.
"what's the situation?"
The clansmen skilled in divination, observing the newborn's face, were nearly blinded by the radiant light of merit that shone like a small sun.
"Incredible!" he exclaimed. "How could this child possess such profound light of merit!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a winged spirit beast appeared from the family and smashed the vermilion fruit it was carrying into the swaddling clothes.
The baby was hit for no reason and started crying loudly.
Who smashed the ghost?!
Gu Zhiheng cursed impatiently, but instead of cursing, he burst into tears. His expression was cracked, and he was very surprised.
What's going on?!
"Ancestor, my son is crying, what should I do?!" The Gu family head was in a panic, holding his hard-won son and not knowing what to do.
The moment the words left his mouth, the ancestor placed the vermilion fruit to the baby's lips.
The adorable baby, with its delicate features, opened its pink lips, sucked on the vermilion fruit, and stopped crying.
Hey, what's this? It tastes really good.
Gu Zhiheng kept sucking on his lips, full of doubts, and opened his eyes to look around.
What came into view was a large face with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. The eyebrows were dark, the eyes were very bright, and the hair was long, black and thick, making him look a bit like a character from an ancient costume drama.
Gu Zhiheng frowned.
Could he have... been reincarnated into ancient times?
“My son, you’re frowning. What’s troubling you? Tell your father, and I’ll help you.”
Gu Zhiheng: "??"
Is this his father for life?
It looks silly.
but.
Looking into the other person's eyes with affection, the child's clear black and white eyes shone with heartfelt joy.
"Ahhhhhh!"
“My son is calling for his father! My son is so clever!” the handsome man with black hair and black eyes said loudly.
He lifted the swaddled baby high, his laughter thunderous, "My son is so intelligent, he will surely achieve great things, he will surely achieve great things, hahahahaha."
Just as he was laughing, he was slapped away, and the red swaddled baby with gold patterns flew out and landed in the hands of an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
"This is my grandson who didn't want to be born. Good child, truly a good child of the Gu family. He will surely lead the Gu family to stand proudly on the Nine Provinces Continent. Good, good!" The old man laughed.
The young man who had been knocked away came over and said, "Dad, please keep your voice down, don't scare my precious baby."
The old man looked at him, "Bao'er?"
"Yes, it's the nickname I gave him. Does it sound nice? I think it sounds great. My son is the hope of the family and the apple of my eye," the young man said confidently.
Hearing these words, Gu Zhiheng's small brain finally cleared up.
It seems he has been reincarnated.
These people in front of me are strange. They can even fly. Is it ancient lightness skill or immortals?
He was full of questions.
After sucking on the sweet fruit, the baby's belly swelled up, and the swaddled infant yawned and fell asleep immediately.
“My baby is asleep, so good. Father, give my son back to me, I need to take him back to the room. My wife must be worried about not seeing the child for so long.” The young man, who had just become a father, urged the current head of the Gu family.
The old man touched his grandson's face with his fingertips, his voice softening, "My grandson is indeed well-behaved, let's call him Guaibao (Good Boy)."
The head of the Gu family thought it was acceptable, nodded, and then carried his son back into the house.
No sooner had he left than a servant came to report that many strange things had occurred outside the mountain's protective barrier.
Several elders exchanged glances, then vanished from the spot.
Upon exiting the barrier, they found a pile of rare spiritual fruits and herbs.
"This……"
The elders looked at each other in dismay. The youngest among them was over three hundred years old and had seen many things, but this was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.
"What's going on?" Gu Zhiheng's grandfather asked in a stern voice.
One person stepped forward, took out the Rewind Mirror from outside the barrier, and rewound the previous scene in front of everyone.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the valuable items on the ground had all been brought by spirit beasts from Demon Mountain.
"Such a strange thing has happened. I have lived for over five hundred years and have never heard of... a ferocious beast delivering treasures to the territory of human cultivators. How strange!"
"Yes, what exactly is going on? I've never seen anything like it before, it's really strange."
One of the elders reacted quickly, setting up a barrier with a wave of his hand, and said to the clan members, "Could it be that the baby brought this? If there is anything different today, it is the birth of the young master. The rain of true spirits and the amazing light of merit on his body all indicate that there is something strange about him."
The oldest ancestor glanced at him, and that glance was truly earth-shattering and chilling.
"What do you mean by strange?" His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "The son of the Gu family is favored by Heaven, a blessing to the Gu family. You should all be grateful to have such a son. Do not let me hear you utter such unpleasant words again."
The person who had spoken out of turn bowed deeply and said, "Yes, I have learned my lesson."
"Go away."
The crowd dispersed.
The spiritual herbs and fruits brought by the spirit beasts were stored in Gu Guaibao's space and became his private property.
Time flies, and Gu Guaibao is three years old.
She was already a tiny baby with a two-headed figure, with delicate features, fair skin, and bright, expressive eyes. She usually wore a scarlet brocade robe, and her face was chubby with baby fat. Her arms and hands were soft and cuddly, making her look incredibly adorable.
"Little Lord."
"Young Master, where are you? Please answer me. If I lose track of you, I'll be punished again."
The little baby sat on the tree, looking down at the anxious people on the ground, broke off a branch, and threw it down.
"This is so annoying, I just want some peace and quiet, can you please stop making so much noise?"
The person under the tree looked up and saw their young master's face beaming with joy. Their young master's cultivation had improved again!
"Young Master, you're in a tree!" He said anxiously, "It's so dangerous up in a tree! What if you fall? Please wait, I'm coming..."
Just as the speaker was about to leap up, Gu Guaibao commanded, "Don't come up!"
"……Oh."
Gu Guaibao continued, "You're not allowed to speak either. Let me have some peace and quiet."
"Then, please be careful not to fall."
Gu Guaibao, a genuine adult at heart, ignored it.
Three years is enough time for him to figure out where he is.
He was reincarnated into a place called the Nine Provinces Continent, a magical place where cultivation is possible. There are immortals, humans, demons, many sects, and secret realms...
Everything you find in cultivation novels is here.
He was lucky; he was born into the Gu family, a powerful cultivation clan with countless strong members. Wherever he went, he was treated like a young master.
pity……
The thought of the unimpressive name "Guai Bao" made Gu Zhiheng feel extremely depressed.
He's already three years old and still doesn't have a proper name. Who can stand that?
Every time the head of the Gu family finished his work, he would see his beloved son. As soon as he arrived, he would see the little baby sitting on the tree, swinging his legs. The baby's chubby cheeks were puffed up, and he looked like he was puffing up, which was really cute.
The man's heart, that of an old father, was almost melting.
His son is the cutest in Kyushu.
"Bao'er, why are you sitting here all alone? Are you unhappy?" The Gu family head appeared beside Gu Baobao in a flash.
"When are you going to give me a formal name!" Gu Guaibao shouted, her voice still soft and childish due to her young age.
It has a kind of fierce yet cute feel to it.
"What's the rush? You're only three years old, there's no rush..."
The little dumpling looked over calmly and said, word by word, "I'm in a hurry! I want your full name!"
Seeing his son getting anxious, the head of the Gu family couldn't bear to see him unhappy, so he smiled and patted his son's head. "Yes, my son has a proper name, which has long been engraved in the ancestral land. Your name is Gu Zhiheng, which was given to you by your grandfather, who hoped that my son would be as refined as jade."
The little boy in the tree stopped swinging his legs and stared in astonishment at his father.
same.
It has the exact same name as his.
"My son is..."
Before he could even utter the words "I don't like the name," Gu Zhiheng smiled broadly, his eyes sparkling, "I like it, I like this name, thank you, Dad, you're so good."
He had memories of being born, but the world was unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't feel close to his parents. However, his parents treated him very well, so well that he gradually let down his guard and accepted them from the bottom of his heart.
The head of the Gu family laughed heartily, picked up his son, and placed him on his shoulder.
“Why are you being so polite with your father, my son? You are my son, and you should roam freely across this continent without any restraint. Everyone should give way to you.”
Gu Zhiheng: "..."
Thankfully, he has his memory; otherwise, if his father continued to spoil him like this, he would have become a troublemaker sooner or later.
The Gu family is powerful, but not powerful enough to be the only ones who matter. Various forces are entrenched in the Nine Provinces Continent, and there are countless powerful individuals. Those who are arrogant without ability will eventually run into trouble.
"Sigh." The three-year-old toddler sighed softly.
"Why is my son sighing? Is something on your mind? Are you still unhappy now that you have a great reputation?" said the head of the Gu family.
"No." Gu Zhiheng was used to his father's anxiety and was not surprised.
The Gu family head felt that his son was too sensible and felt even more sorry for him. "My son, don't you like going to Phoenix City to watch the excitement? Tomorrow, your father and mother will take you there, okay?"
Phoenix is human territory; it's full of life and energy.
Gu Zhiheng pressed his head against his father's head and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."
The Gu family head's smile deepened.
"Dad, I miss Grandpa," Gu Zhiheng said sullenly, poking his father's face with his short, chubby fingers.
"Your grandfather has been gone for half a year, it's time for him to come back. My son's birthday is coming soon, if he doesn't come back soon he won't make it in time." The Gu family head comforted him. "Your grandfather said he would catch an ice beast for you as a mount. That little thing is very powerful, and it will surely accompany my son to travel all over the Nine Provinces in the future!"
Gu Zhiheng, a tiny child, nestled on his father's head, his thoughts already wandering off somewhere else.
The lady of the house saw this scene from afar, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"What's wrong, my darling?" she asked with a smile.
“Mother.” Gu Zhiheng smiled, her delicate face sculpted with beauty.
The stunningly beautiful woman held the tiny child in her arms, her expression softening even more. "You weren't unhappy today, were you?"
"Mother, Father said I have a formal name. My formal name is Gu Zhiheng. Mother, can you call me by my formal name from now on?" The baby's voice was so sweet and endearing.
The woman frowned slightly. "If your mother doesn't want to change how she addresses you and still wants to call you 'my darling,' what should we do?"
The child's pretty face scrunched up, and he reluctantly said, "Okay, alright."
The woman couldn't bear to see her precious son, whom she had been eagerly awaiting, unhappy, so she quickly said, "How about I call you Hengbao?"
Gu Zhiheng was stunned.
Hengbao.
It seemed as if another gentle face appeared before his eyes; that was also his mother.
Before his memory faded, he heard her say that his mother had paid a great price to save him.
Otherwise, how could someone who voluntarily gave up his soul have this new life?
The lucky charm symbolizes his mother's love, which he can feel at all times.
"Okay." Gu Zhiheng nodded.
He fussed and got down, then stood on the ground and looked up at his parents in this life. "Father, Mother, what should I do if the person I want to see is not in this world?"
The head of the Gu family's eyes darkened slightly, but were quickly replaced by affection. He half-squatted down and gently placed his hands on his son's small shoulders.
"Strive to cultivate and ascend to immortality, and you will eventually see the person you wish to see."
Gu Zhiheng blinked a few times. "I've got it."
From that day on, the exceptionally talented young master of the Gu family cultivated even more diligently, and as a result, his cultivation level improved day by day.
In a short period of time, he became one of the best among his peers, and his reputation as a genius quickly spread.
As he grew older, he traveled to various dangerous places to hone his skills, and he always gained a lot from each place he visited.
Treasures that others desperately want always appear before him, either willingly or unwillingly.
Gradually, rumors of the Gu family's young master's extraordinary fortune spread far and wide in the Cangwu Realm. Some geniuses, unconvinced, came to provoke him, only to be instantly defeated. Had they not possessed some special skills, they would have nearly lost their lives. As such incidents occurred more frequently, Gu Zhiheng's reputation as someone not to be trifled with spread far and wide...
On this day, Gu Zhiheng obtained another treasure in a certain secret realm. A few drops of scarlet blood were stained on his cheek. Dressed in black, he sat quietly on the Demon Mountain, with the Frost Beast given to him by his grandfather beside him.
"What is this? It looks like a mirror." Gu Zhiheng pondered this newly acquired treasure for a long time. He had dripped blood on it and branded it with his soul mark, but it was ultimately useless.
He casually tossed the mirror aside, leaned back, and simply lay on the ground gazing at the sky.
"If it were that guy, he would probably love this kind of life," Gu Zhiheng murmured.
My older brother should like him too. Zhiqian should be interested in alchemy. As for Zhiyao... I can't guess yet. And then there are Mom and Dad. They would never imagine that he is doing well in another world and has become a well-known genius. He's got the setup of a novel's male protagonist!
As the years of cultivation stretched on, Gu Zhiheng knew he should forget the people of that world, but... his heart was restless, always hoping to see them again, even if only once.
The Frost Beast headbutted its master's arm.
“You don’t know him, but he’s an old friend of mine, someone I might never see again.” Gu Zhiheng patted his companion’s head.
He has been reincarnated and become an independent immortal, so he should be able to appear in the same space-time as that guy, right?
Gu Zhiheng thought uncertainly.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, the mirror that its owner had carelessly tossed on the floor suddenly lit up...
