Chapter 1312 Xu Xiangzu, a disciple of the Xu family
"Come in!"
Xu Changshou waved his sleeve and opened the door to the temple.
Yu Xiantong led the boy and quickly arrived in front of Xu Changshou.
After glancing at Xu Changshou, the young man was excited. Without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.
"Grandson Xu Xiangzu greets Grandfather! May Grandfather be blessed with good health and long life. Grandson kowtows to you."
"Are you a disciple of the Xu family?"
Xu Changshou did some quick calculations and realized that the person in front of him was indeed a descendant of the Xu family, a true and upright member of the Xu family.
He never imagined that a disciple of the Xu family would one day come to the Donghua Immortal Sect.
Looking at the boy's cultivation level again, it was clear that he was at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Xu Changshou was only surprised that the Xu family members could come before him. Little did he know that the fact that this young man could kneel before him today could be said to have exhausted the Xu family's fortune of ten thousand years.
Back then, after Xu Xiufan passed away, Xu Changshou never returned to Mudong Region.
As time went by, the Xu family became increasingly anxious.
Why hasn't our great-grandfather shown up?
Did he abandon the Xu family?
It was the old ancestor who died.
When Xu Donghe passed away, he issued an ancestral precept: no matter what, a disciple must be cultivated who can enter the Donghua Immortal Sect and go to the Donghua Immortal Sect to find the ancestor.
Therefore, the Xu family devoted all its resources to cultivating outstanding disciples.
Over the course of ten thousand years, countless geniuses have been cultivated, but not a single one has been qualified to enter the Donghua Immortal Sect.
When Xu Changshou turned ten thousand years old, the Xu family panicked completely, because ten thousand years old is the limit for cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage. If their ancestor could not break through to the Mahayana stage, it would mean that their ancestor had passed away.
The Xu family did not know whether Xu Changshou had passed away or achieved a breakthrough, but they still adhered to the principle that when sending someone into the Donghua Immortal Sect, they should go and see him, regardless of whether their ancestor was still alive.
Until Xu Xiangzu appeared, on the day of Xu Xiangzu's birth, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. On that day, purple clouds came from the east for 30,000 miles above the Xu family.
Later, when Xu Xiangzu was tested for his spiritual root, he was found to have a fivefold wind spiritual root. The patriarch was overjoyed and personally brought him back to the clan, changing his name to Xu Xiangzu.
The meaning of the name Xu Xiangzu is self-evident.
In the Xu family's long history, only one genius with a pentaploid body, Xu Xiangzu, has emerged.
The Xu family naturally devoted all their resources to nurturing him. As soon as he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, they sent him to the Canghai Sect through someone.
Of course, Xu Xiangzu did not disappoint the Xu family in the end, and eventually entered the Donghua Immortal Sect and came before his ancestor.
"Patriarch, Father, Mother, Grandfather, your son has not disappointed you. Your son has found our great-grandfather! Waaah..."
Kneeling before Xu Changshou, Xu Xiangzu burst into tears. All the efforts of the Xu family and himself over the years had not been in vain; they had finally found their great-grandfather.
"Waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah, Grandfather, your grandson kowtows to you."
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
bang bang bang...
Xu Xiangzu kowtowed desperately, his forehead bleeding profusely, yet he remained oblivious.
"Good child, good child, get up quickly!"
Xu Changshou stood up, walked over, and personally helped Xu Xiangzu up.
Xu Xiangzu stood up, wiped away his tears, and then looked at Xu Changshou seriously. When he saw Xu Changshou's face clearly, Xu Xiangzu was shocked.
He had imagined that his great-grandfather would be a white-haired old man, but to his surprise, his great-grandfather was so young.
As far as he knew, his great-great-grandfather was now over 13,000 years old.
He's thirteen thousand years old, yet he still looks like a young man. How profound must his cultivation be?
"Good boy, what's your name?" Xu Changshou asked with a smile.
Xu Xiangzu respectfully replied, "Grandson Xu Xiangzu."
Xu Changshou then asked, "Which family's child are you?"
"Our ancestor was Xu Dongxu."
Xu Dongxu...
Xu Changshou counted on his fingers: Tian, Ya, Ming, Yue, Qian, Xu, Li, Rang, He.
Xu Dongxu is the sixth son.
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, it's Lao Liu's child."
"Which generation of Dongxu are you?"
"The 72nd generation."
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou smiled. He was Xu Dongxu's 72nd generation descendant, which was also his own 75th generation descendant.
People from cultivation families generally have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people.
On average, there are more than a hundred years between each generation.
Generally speaking.
Even cultivators at the Qi Refining stage would choose to have offspring a hundred years later.
The higher one's cultivation level, the longer the interval between cultivation periods.
Xu Dongxu has been alive for over 11,000 years, making his 72nd generation a normal number.
If one were among mortals, one would not know that hundreds of lifetimes had passed.
"Child, what kind of spiritual root do you have?" Xu Changshou asked.
Xu Xiangzu said, "Five times the body's wind spirit root."
"Good, good, good, hahaha, the Xu family has a worthy successor!"
Xu Changshou was overjoyed.
With a fivefold spiritual root, similar to Xu Ye's, Xu Xiangzu should be able to break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm if nothing unexpected happens.
Those who have reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm have a lifespan of 100,000 years. In that case, Xu Xiangzu could protect the Xu family for 100,000 years.
Xu Changshou was powerless to predict what the Xu family would become 100,000 years from now. By then, he would either have passed away or ascended to the Immortal Realm.
In any case, the Xu family bloodline has taken root and sprouted in the Sangyu Immortal Realm. Xu Changshou can be said to have lived up to his ancestors' expectations for the Xu family's development to this extent.
"Child, tell your grandfather about the Xu family."
"Yes!"
Xu Xiangzu gathered his thoughts and began to talk about the Xu family.
After he finished speaking, Xu Changshou finally understood that the Xu family had devoted themselves to raising their descendants for generations, all so that someone in the Xu family could find him.
The fact that Xu Xiangzu is standing in front of them now is a testament to the immense hardships the Xu family has endured.
For Xu Changshou, the Xu family was no longer his family, so he never returned to the Xu family. Later, even when Ye Mengyao offered to help him send a message back, he refused.
But he was too important to the Xu family; he was their faith. As long as they knew that their ancestor was alive, the Xu family feared no one.
Over the years, I've been so focused on cultivation that I've neglected the Xu family.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou looked at Yu Xiantong and said, "Junior Brother Yu, I would like to trouble you to make a trip to Youbi Peak and help me post a family visit mission."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiantong respectfully asked, "Senior Brother Xu, how do I write a mission to visit relatives?"
Xu Changshou said, "Have someone take a message back to the Xu family in Mudong Divine City to inform the Xu family head that Xu Xiangzu has arrived and that the ancestor is safe and sound, so that the Xu family can cultivate in peace."
"Go!"
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away!"
Yu Xiantong left and flew quickly towards Youbi Peak.
"Thank you very much, Grandfather!"
"Come, come, good child, let your great-grandfather take a look!"
Xu Changshou looked at Xu Xiangzu carefully and found that the boy's appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Xiufan's, which made him like him even more.
"Very well, very well. A reward will be given!"
Xu Changshou patted his storage bag, took out the Thunder Boat, and handed it to Xu Xiangzu.
The Thunder Boat was originally given to Ye Mengyao, but when Ye Mengyao's body was being prepared for burial, the Thunder Boat returned to his hands.
