Siblings

‎As he looked at each of them, memories from the original Gu Tian’s life surfaced in his mind.

‎

‎These six were his brothers and sisters.

‎

‎Gu Tian was the only son of the current Gu Clan Patriarch. His father had three brothers, and each of them had two children. Gu Tian, being the youngest of the generation, had always been at the bottom of the sibling hierarchy.

‎

‎Seated directly across from him were two youths clad in ornate robes. The one with stern eyes and a straight back was Gu Tianyu—the eldest among them, calm and composed. Beside him sat Gu Tianlie, the second brother, his sharp eyes exuding a martial aura. Both were sons of Gu Tian’s second uncle and carried the pride of seniority.

‎

‎To his left sat two ethereal beauties.

‎

‎The first, with an aloof and graceful presence, was Gu Qingxue—his third sister. Her jade-like skin and icy demeanor gave her the air of a snow lotus blooming atop a thousand-year-old peak. Beside her sat Gu Lingxi, the fourth sister, more spirited than her elder sister, with a playful glint in her eyes and a livelier presence.

‎

‎On Gu Tian’s right were his fifth and sixth brothers.

‎

‎Gu Tianming, with a quiet demeanor and thoughtful expression, seemed the type to prefer books over blades. In contrast, Gu Tianzang, tall and broad-shouldered, radiated raw strength, his every movement carrying the weight of a seasoned cultivator.

‎

‎Gu Clan is a big clan with not only direct descendants but also many branches. And although Gu Tian is the son of patriarch but there are many people who compete with him for that position. And the six people beside him are the most talented people in Gu Clan younger generations and also his biggest opponents.

‎

‎Of course, unlike other clan, Gu Clan does not allow the younger generations to kill each other for that position. The ancestral law of Gu Clan clearly states that family is above all. They are allowed to compete but it is a healthy competition.

‎

‎That's why although they are opponents the relation between them is very good. Not only because they are siblings but also because they respect each other strength.

‎

‎After everyone sat down, no one took the initiative to speak. The only sound in the pavilion was the soft clinking of porcelain as they sipped their tea.

After a while, it was Gu Tian who finally broke the silence.

‎

‎He set down his cup with a soft clink and said in a calm voice, “It’s rare for all of us to gather like this. What brings you all here today?”

‎

‎He leaned back slightly, his gaze sweeping across their faces one by one.

‎

‎Gu Tianyu, the eldest among them, gave a small smile and answered, “Well, we had nothing to do when we heard that you finally came out of seclusion. So we all came to see how much you’ve improved this time.”

‎

‎He paused for a moment, eyes narrowing slightly as he studied Gu Tian.

‎

‎“And from the looks of it, you’ve made quite a bit of progress.”

‎

‎As he spoke, the others also turned their eyes toward Gu Tian. Their gazes were no longer casual—there was a hint of seriousness in each of them, as if they, too, were trying to see through him.

‎

‎Gu Tian simply nodded, neither confirming nor denying the statement. His expression remained calm.

A few days ago, the original Gu Tian had gone into seclusion, hoping to break through to the next realm. But something went wrong. A single mistake during cultivation had cost him his life.

‎

‎That was the moment Gu Tian’s soul arrived.

‎

‎After merging with the body and sorting through the original’s memories, Gu Tian didn't rushed to leave. Instead, he quietly continued cultivating, adjusting to the new body and its spiritual energy. Days passed in silence and effort.

‎

‎And finally, his persistence paid off.

‎

‎He successfully made a breakthrough to next realm.
