Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

"Who knows, by then our grandson might have even greater prospects," he mused. "Even with just Ninth-Grade strength, could he be appointed directly as an Elder?"

"Skipping the stage of being a Tributor entirely."

Gu Kuang waved his hand dismissively. The Gu Family's current situation in the Northern Domain was, without doubt, increasingly dominant, with clear superiority over others.

But apart from him, with his Ninth Grade strength, there were only those of the Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm left in the Gu Family.

For safety, he still preferred to remain in the Northern Domain.

However, from the Old Blind Man, he had also learned of the Ancestor's breakthrough to the True Monarch Realm.

It seemed that before long, the Gu Family would be able to start their relocation plan to Central State!

By then, relying on his grandson's status, it wouldn't be late to join the Sword Sect, one of the Four Great Sacred Lands!

Watching the Elder Oak Blind Man successfully break through the Ninth Grade to reach the Sage Realm, it was definitely a lie to say he wasn't envious.

But for the sake of his clan, he wasn't in a rush for personal glory.

...

After staying for a moment at the Fourth Saint Son Peak, Gu Changge contacted the Elder in charge of the Treasure Vault through a Communication Jade Token.

Soon, a few Storage Bags full of cultivation resources were delivered to him, not only meeting his demands but also including many additional items.

"It seems that even the Honorary Supreme in charge of the Treasure Vault wishes to form a good relationship with the young master."

Elder Jian Chen couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"Nowadays, if there's an opportunity, who wouldn't want to earn some good karma with the young master?"

"Even if they aren't worried about facing Tribulation, they must have younger generations, no? If not a family, surely there are disciples, right?"

"If they don't have disciples, they must have a few friends, and friends will need to face Tribulation at some point..."

"In short, the current young master is essentially a vast opportunity in everyone's eyes!"

Sage Zhao echoed his words without being able to help himself.

"I'm going to head back first."

"When the old man arrives, please let me know, Elder."

Gu Changge didn't plan on staying any longer. Taking the Storage Bags, he promptly bid farewell and left.

Elder Jian Chen repeatedly assured his understanding.

It didn't take long for Gu Changge to return to the great hall.

As he pushed open the doors of the hall, Yuan Youbai was already waiting for him at the entrance, seemingly having been there since he left.

"My Lord Husband!" As soon as she saw him return, she instantly leapt towards him, clinging onto him like an ornament.

Gu Changge simply let her hang onto his body and walked over to the table to sit down, casually placing the Storage Bags on it.

"Here, this should keep you fed for at least three months."

The Spirit Fruits and Spirit Roots inside those Storage Pouches were plentiful, and there were also some Elixirs.

These items, if tallied up, could even amount to the resources of the other Saint Sons for a year, excluding the top three peaks.

But Wu Hen Monarch, the Sect Master, had already mentioned that he could be an exception.

Whatever he needed, he could directly take from the Treasure Vault, and the Elder didn't need to report; it could even be recorded as the Sect's regular expenses!

"Thank you, Lord Husband. You are the best, Lord Husband!"

Seeing the Storage Bags brimming with cultivation resources, Yuan Youbai happily pecked her husband on the face.

She now seemed to have shed her former shyness and didn't dart back to her room, needing half a day to recover from a kiss.

"I might need to go out for a couple of days."

"I'm not taking you with me this time."

"With these cultivation resources, you can eat your fill and have a good sleep, and you should be able to break through to the perfection of the Void Refinement Realm."

Gu Changge casually picked up a teapot from the table but found it had already gone cold; feeling too lazy to brew another pot, he simply put the teapot back down.

"Then..."

"Before you leave, could you spend a bit more time with Youbai?"

Hearing that Lord Husband was going away on business, she understood it was about the Wu Family matter, so he wasn't taking her with him; she wouldn't be of help and might even cause trouble.

But she gazed at her husband hopefully, asking in a soft voice.

Seeing her evasive eyes, Gu Changge immediately understood her intention.

This little thing has gotten a taste of sweetness...

Since he had nothing else pressing to do, and Dongfang Mingyue was still in seclusion,

He decisively rose to his feet with Yuan Youbai hanging onto him like an ornament and headed towards the inner chamber.

Yuan Youbai, quick on the uptake, used her spiritual energy to draw the Storage Bags into her arms, clutching them tightly as if afraid they would escape.

As the two entered the room, Gu Changge skillfully closed the door with his foot.

Remembering Dongfang Mingyue's previous advice, he conveniently set up an Isolation Array to avoid disturbing her secluded cultivation.

...

Day after day, Gu Changge watched the little one, who had eaten all the Spirit Fruits and fallen into a deep sleep, and carefully tucked her in before he left the main hall.

He had just received a message from Elder Jian Chen; the old man had arrived at the Sword Sect.

It was time to settle the matter with the Wu Family!

Ye Qing's voice sounded in his ear: "Once you leave the Sect, I shall secretly accompany you from the shadows. Should you encounter any situation, there's no need for panic; I'll be there."

Hearing the voice, he immediately bowed towards the depths of Sword Mountain.

Then, transforming into a Tunneling Light, he shot straight towards the Fourth Saint Son Peak.

With his master's reassurance, he had no need for any concerns or worries about this trip.

Even if the Wu Family could summon anyone to mediate, they surely couldn't summon a Land Immortal Realm expert!

Even if a Land Immortal did appear today, he was resolute in his decision to flatten the Wu Family, not for deep-seated grudges, but for the Attribute Points they offered!

Once this matter with the Wu Family was settled, the Attribute Points he'd gain would be enough to bestow all four of his Daoist Couples with Saint Body Talent!

The Ancestor, the old man, even with only a one percent effect, could be granted the Talent of a Dao Body!

Even his master's long-desired Elixirs could be delivered along with it.

The Wu Family had to perish today...

Soon, Gu Changge arrived on top of the Fourth Saint Son Peak.

He immediately spotted the old man, who was looking around and continuously expressing pride over how outstanding his grandson was.

"Grandfather."

Gu Changge stepped forward with a casual, jovial greeting.

"Ah!"

"You've reached Eighth-grade?"

"Excellent, excellent!"

Seeing his grandson, the elder's eyes lit up with joy, warmth and pride.

"When would you like to take action against the Wu Family?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Gu Changge went straight to the point, looking towards the old man to gauge his thoughts, suggesting if there was no rush, the old man could rest for a few days at the Sword Sect first.

"Now!"

"I've been thinking about it every day."

"The Wu Family..."

"An enmity so deep it can't be shared under the same sky, must be avenged today!"

Upon hearing his grandson's words, Gu Kuang's gaze turned sharp and he spoke with a suppressed tone.
