2026 Slapping on Face 3
Madame Yan refrained from divulging information about the Wu Family since Gu Chaoyan had recently arrived in the Shenyou Continent and would have no knowledge of them.
She nodded slightly and added, “The Wu Family does possess a decent background, though not as impressive as the Yan Family, albeit not by a significant margin.”
“…..”
“However, this is only the surface-level understanding we have.”
“…..”
Curious about Gu Chaoyan’s knowledge of the Wu Family, Madame Yan inquired further, “How did you come to know about the Wu Family? Have you heard about them?”
Gu Chaoyan calmly shook her head, indicating her lack of information regarding the affairs of the Shenyou Continent and her absence of any interaction with the Wu Family.
“It’s merely an assumption,” Gu Chaoyan responded composedly. “While the imperial family’s princes possess formidable cultivation levels, the Zhuo Family members are at the Third Heaven of the Martial King Realm, just like the Wu Family and the Yan Family, with only one exceptional Great Martial Master. I believe that the Wu Family and the Yan Family are facing similar circumstances, gradually being overshadowed by the imperial family’s dominance.”
“…..”
“But that’s a discussion for another time. Right now, what matters most for the Yan Family is obtaining the Golden Rolls and gaining entry into the Supreme Sect,” Gu Chaoyan stated.
The Yan Family nodded in agreement, recognizing the urgency of the situation.
Even Gu Chaoyan required some time to address these challenges.
Having recently attained the Martial King level, she stood at Level 1 or 2, comparable to the Wu Family but not on par with the Zhuo Family. Furthermore, considering the Elder Prince’s status as a top-tier Martial King, there existed a substantial gap between him and a Level 1 or 2 martial artist.
The utmost priority lay in Gu Chaoyan’s need to achieve a breakthrough as swiftly as possible.
Only by becoming a Martial Emperor would she possess the confidence to secure the Golden Rolls.
“But Wuji won’t be able to make it. The Yan Family is left with no contenders,” Madame Yan expressed her sorrow, having already come to terms with the possibility that no one from the Yan Family would be able to enter the Supreme Sect that year.
“Master, you are incredibly capable as well!” Fu Huarong optimistically interjected, offering a glimmer of hope.
However, Gu Chaoyan lacked confidence in her ability to become a Warrior King.
Observing her hesitation, Zhou Huaijin rose from his seat and suggested, “Now that the immediate crisis has been addressed, let’s take a break and discuss other matters later.”
He didn’t want to burden Gu Chaoyan with all the pressure.
Nevertheless, he was determined to find a solution.
The rest of the Yan Family members didn’t object; they agreed with Zhou Huaijin’s proposal.
With a lot on her mind, Gu Chaoyan returned home.
She hurriedly entered her personal space.
Lately, she had been making sluggish progress in her cultivation, unable to pinpoint the reason behind it.
However, ever since she arrived in the Shenyou Continent, she seemed to have gained some inspiration.
Recalling Huang Fu’s previous words about Yan Wuji’s heavenly spiritual root being only slightly better than a real one, Gu Chaoyan wondered about her own spiritual root. What kind of spiritual root did she possess?
Before altering her cultivation direction, should she first gain insight into the inspiration she had received?
She extended her hand, focusing her gaze on the center of her palm. Activating her mind, she attempted to reveal her spiritual root, eager to discover its nature.
But after half a day, there was still no change in her palm. No spiritual roots appeared.
Why not?
Gu Chaoyan kept trying and still had nothing.
When Huang Fu came here, he saw Gu Chaoyan staring at his palm.
