I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 685 Chen Hao’s Background

"What kind of person is he?" Gu Yuxiao asked as she gazed at her grandmother.

It was true that since the first time she met Chen Hao, Gu Yuxiao realized that he was not an ordinary man.

To capture him, Gu Yuehong had used many different tricks and traps.

Gu Yuehong would never go through so much trouble if he was only the heir to the wealthiest family.

And now, she even made an alliance with the King of Nine Doors to deal with Chen Hao.

Other than that, there was actually an even bigger question. Even though Chen Hao's current martial arts skills are far better compared to other people of the same age, if Gu Yuehong wanted to deal with him, she still could.

It was not necessary to work together with the King of Nine Doors-who was stronger than the whole Gu family-to deal with Chen Hao.

It was unnecessary for both of them to work together. They could have just captured Chen Hao on their own, couldn't they?

Which was why Gu Yuehong's words made Gu Yuxiao really curious.

"Sigh! Come with me!"

After Gu Yuehong nodded her head and finished her sentence, she brought Gu Yuxiao to her personal secret chamber.

Gu Yuxiao remembered this secret chamber. This was the most mysterious forbidden land in the Gu family. Nobody could get close to it other than the master of the Gu family. She watched as Gu Yuehong activated the switch.

The door of the secret chamber opened slowly.

She silently followed behind Gu Yuehong as she entered inside.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The lights instantly lit up and illuminated the whole secret chamber.

This place was a hall with an area of about 400 square meters.

The stone walls surrounding the hall were all made out of bluestones piled up on each other.

Right in the center of the hall was a high platform and there was a huge coffin placed on it.

This coffin was so strange. It looked like a glass coffin and the bottom of the coffin was suspended in the air.

And a body was faintly visible in the coffin.

It was the body of a woman.

Gu Yuxiao looked around curiously.

A few of the walls were filled with bookshelves where they kept all the Gu family's precious secres.

On the north side of the wall was an incense table; a piece of jade was placed upright and a few incense sticks were burning as an offering to their ancestors.

Further on was a furnace used for alchemy.

At that moment, the furnace was shining in all kinds of colors and it looked a little strange.

"Grandmother!"

Gu Yuxiao was so curious she couldn't help but shout.

"Yes. This is the first time you entered so it is normal to be curious. This is the secret chamber where the Gu family keeps the most mysterious items. Other than the master of the family, nobody else should be allowed to enter. Today I made an exception!"

Gu Yuehong said blandly.

Gu Yuxiao swallowed her saliva. "This coffin... Is this woman's body the one that we found in the middle of the ocean?"

"Yes! It is!"

"Why is she so important? Chen Hao is also looking for her and back then, if it wasn't for you who used Chen Hao's biggest weakness-the Ghost Flower-to stop him, he would have already succeeded!" Gu Yuxia was very curious.

"Of course Chen Hao would be looking for her. For this lady in white is one of Chen Hao's lovers!" Gu Yuehong said as she narrowed her eyes.

"Chen Hao's lover? But isn't she over ten thousand years old?"

Gu Yuxiao shook her head as she found it hard to believe.

"To be exact, she is Chen Hao's lover from his past life, Luo Ziyan! Now, don't interrupt me. You will understand after I tell you everything about Chen Hao!"

Gu Yuehong put her hands behind her back and began pacing back and forth as she slowly started speaking...

"Yuxiao, you only know that the Gu family is an ancient family that has been around for generations, but I have never told you before-hundreds of thousands years ago, a sacred civilization once existed in this world; it was also called the Ancient Civilization!"

Gu Yuxiao listened with her eyes wide open.

"During the time of the Ancient Civilization, there were many people who practiced martial arts and ancient cultivation sects were founded. During that period, some sacred masters were so strong they could split mountains, conjure miracles and make things miraculously appear and disappear! They were godlike!"

"What's more, there was a person who cultivated so much that he became immortal! From then on he lived on forever, undying!"

Gu Yuxiao's eyes widened even more. The more she listened, the more mystical it sounded.

"However, the glory of Ancient Civilization was like a meteor. It shined brightly and dazzled those who set eyes on it, but it only stayed for a short time. In a flash, it disappeared without a trace overnight!" Gu Yuxiao couldn't bear it anymore. "But grandmother, if the Ancient Civilization really existed and the people during that period were so powerful, what could make them perish overnight?"

"It was the Vital Spirit!"

"Vital Spirit?"

“That's right. In ancient times, the earth was filled with the Vital Spirit. But later, for some unknown reason, the Vital Spirit suddenly dried up. Without the Vital Spirit to rely on, many practitioners could not escape the apocalypse and their souls were scattered. Similarly, without the Vital Spirit, the man who became immortal could not continue to maintain his immortal body!"

Gu Yuxiao said, "Then it'd be useless for him to become the strongest person on Earth for he still could not escape the apocalypse!"

"You are wrong!" Gu Yuehong shook her head and gave a hollow laugh.

"Wrong? Is it possible that he escaped the apocalypse even without his immortal body?"

"Yes. Why else would he eternally be the most powerful man of the Ancient Civilization? When all the other great masters were unable to escape the apocalypse, some died and some fled! However, he was able to deal with it because he was proficient in many skills. So he chose to concentrate the essence of God and used the False Rebirth Skill to achieve continuous rebirth to avoid the apocalypse. He will be reborn nine times in total, and since this is his last rebirth, he will be awakened in this life."

As she spoke, Gu Yuehong could not hide the shock she felt inside.

"This God essence was also called the Essence of Nine Cycles, a Nine Cycles technique that he created himself!"

"Yuxiao, do you understand? Whoever obtains this God essence will be able to achieve immortality! This is a huge secret and not many people know about it!" Gu Yuehong exclaimed.

Gu Yuxiao's breathing became frantic. She said in disbelief, "Grandmother, are you saying that Chen Hao is the man who possesses the immense ancient power of the Essence of Nine Cycles?"

Gu Yuxiao almost fell down in shock.

"That's right. It is Chen Hao. And I also know that me and the King of Nine Doors are not the only ones searching for him!"

Gu Yuehong continued, "There are many skills that Chen Hao has not activated yet. It didn't matter whether it was us or the King of Nine Doors, both of us feared him. We don't dare to face him directly nor endanger his life because nobody knows what will happen if we infuriate and force him to activate a new skill. So the only thing we can do now is to capture him and slowly figure out a way to deal with him!" "This is a gamble. A gamble that we can only win and never lose. So do you understand? Is Chen Hao someone you can fall in love with?"

Gu Yuehong asked coldly.

Gu Yuxiao staggered back a few steps as a feeling of helplessness swept through her body.

Indeed, if it was all true, what right do I have to love him?
