205: Chapter 195 Handling Matters of the Heavenly Saint Continent (1)

As Gu Jixiao's voice fell, Gu Jiping, who had been cultivating beneath the Imperial Palace, underwent a sudden change in expression. Without hesitation, he stood up, took to the sky, and quickly arrived before Gu Jixiao.

The first thing Gu Jiping did upon reaching Gu Jixiao was to bow deeply without a word, his tone exceptionally respectful.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“You and I are brothers, and since there are no outsiders here, just calling me Sixth Brother is fine.”

Gu Jixiao waved his hand and said.

Seeing Gu Jixiao’s easygoing manner, Gu Jiping couldn't help but relax quite a bit. He stood up, looked at Gu Jixiao, and asked curiously.

“I wonder what matter brought Sixth Brother here specifically?”

After all, Gu Jiping already knew that Gu Jixiao had gone to the Saint Realm. Furthermore, he was aware that Chen Guchuan had recently returned to the Heavenly Saint Continent to take Li Xuan and the others away.

So, did that mean...?

A bold thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Was Gu Jixiao returning this time to take him away?

Meeting his expectant gaze, Gu Jixiao spoke word by word, saying exactly what Gu Jiping wanted to hear most.

“The Saint Realm has now been conquered by my Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, and beyond the Saint Realm, there is an even more vast world.”

“I plan to head to the world beyond the Saint Realm in a few days.”

“When that time comes, the immense Saint Realm will need members of the Imperial Family to manage it.”

“After much thought, I believe you few are the most reliable.”

“Therefore, I have returned this time to take the four of you to the Saint Realm to command the Eight Heavens respectively.”

Hearing Gu Jixiao's words, Gu Jiping's breath hitched. Without a second thought, he knelt directly on the ground.

“Thank you, Your Majesty! I will certainly work hard for Your Majesty and will not fail the prestige of our Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty!”

Going to a more vast world meant obtaining more resources and stepping into even more powerful Realms.

At this moment, he finally understood why Gu Jixiao hadn't let him swallow the emperor creation pill; it turned out he was waiting for him here.

As long as he could go to the Saint Realm, with its resources and his own talent, let alone becoming a Great Emperor, even the Immortal King Realm might not be an unreachable dream.

“Mm. Since you have agreed, then go and prepare. In three days, I will take you and the other Imperial Younger Brother away.”

Gu Jixiao waved his hand and then hurried toward the other three regions.

Only Gu Jiping remained standing there.

Looking at Gu Jiping again, his face was filled with excitement, and he suddenly waved his hand.

In the next instant, a figure appeared before him.

“Your Highness.”

The person who appeared was none other than Gu Jiping's Peak Great Emperor confidant.

“Uncle Chen, pack up. Follow me back to the Central State, and then... we head to the Saint Realm!”

When he reached the end, Gu Jiping's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

After all, that was the Saint Realm. Being able to go there meant a greater Opportunity.

Thinking of Uncle Chen again and how he had consumed the emperor creation pill, Gu Jiping's expression turned solemn. He stepped forward and patted Uncle Chen on the shoulder.

“Don't worry, Uncle Chen. Regarding the fact that you can no longer advance, I will work hard to have His Majesty resolve that for you.”

In his view, the current Gu Jixiao possessed heaven-defying methods. Resolving the side effects of a mere emperor creation pill should be a simple matter for Gu Jixiao, right?

As long as he worked hard and relied on his brotherly bond with Gu Jixiao, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Feeling the touch of Gu Jiping's palm on his shoulder—broad and reassuring—a look of gratification appeared on Uncle Chen's face.

It hadn't been in vain that he had stayed by Gu Jiping's side all this time; he was finally going to see it through.

However, he still spoke up quickly.

“Your Highness, there is no need to go to such lengths. Even the current situation is already very good.”

“If not for Your Highness, let alone the Great Emperor Realm, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have been able to step into the Great Saint Realm.”

Uncle Chen was not exaggerating. The path of Immortal Cultivation was difficult; wealth, techniques, companions, and land—not one could be missing.

Uncle Chen himself was a mere Loose Cultivator. If not for being by Gu Jiping's side, he would have likely died in some unknown corner long ago.

“Do not decline. This is what you deserve. If not for you risking your life to help me, I would have died long ago.”

Gu Jiping shook his head, then stood up and walked outside.

“Alright, let's go. Resolve the matters of the Heavenly Saint Continent as quickly as possible. His Majesty hasn't given us much time.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

On the other side.

After leaving the Northern Desert, Gu Jixiao arrived at the Eastern Region.

The Eastern Region was managed by the Ninth Brother, Gu Jian.

Upon arriving in the Eastern Region, as soon as Gu Jixiao spoke, Gu Jian—who had been busy expanding the Imperial Bloodline—didn't even care about the woman beneath him and rushed over in a hurry.

The moment he saw Gu Jixiao, Gu Jian’s face lit up with joy.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Mm. Ninth Brother, you should have guessed the purpose of my visit by now.”

Gu Jixiao waved his hand and helped Gu Jian up.

After being helped up by Gu Jixiao, Gu Jian showed a sheepish expression.

“Imperial Brother, I don't know.”

“Alright, I won't waste words with you. Currently, the Imperial Dynasty in the Saint Realm needs people to manage it, and I will be heading beyond the Saint Realm soon.”

“Therefore, I intend for you and three other Imperial Brothers to manage the Saint Realm’s Imperial Dynasty together. What do you think?”

As Gu Jixiao's voice fell, Gu Jian's breath hitched. Then, with a look of wild joy, he knelt directly without a word.

“Thank you, Imperial Brother! I will prepare immediately to go to the Saint Realm with you.”

Gu Jian was himself a cultivation fanatic. It could be said that he preferred Cultivating over ruling.

It was just a pity that he knew very well in his heart that as a member of the Imperial Family and Gu Jixiao's brother, he could never focus solely on Cultivation; managing the Imperial Dynasty was his duty.

Even so, if he could go to the Saint Realm, it would mean more resources for him, enough to become even more powerful.

Therefore, he had agreed without a second thought.

“Good. No need to rush. I will come back to pick you up in three days.”

After saying that, Gu Jixiao's figure flickered as he hurried toward the Western Heaven.

Gu Jian stood there with intense excitement before turning back into the Imperial Palace.

Currently, he was essentially a hands-off manager. Since he was always Cultivating, the matters of the Eastern Region were mostly left to his subordinates.

Therefore, if he wanted to leave, he only needed an hour to give all his instructions.

The Western Heaven was managed by the Second Brother, Gu Jiyuan.

When Gu Jixiao arrived, Gu Jiyuan was still busy processing memorials.

It wasn't until Gu Jixiao appeared in the bedchamber and spoke a word.

“Second Brother.”

Only then did Gu Jiyuan suddenly look up.

“Your Majesty!”

The moment he saw Gu Jixiao, Gu Jiyuan knelt directly without a word.

Seeing this, Gu Jixiao couldn't help but frown, even teasing him.

“What is it? Why is the first thing you all do when you see me is kneel?”
