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

"I... can't wait a moment longer!"

Facing his great-nephew's question, Gu Kuang said decisively.

As his voice fell, the figure of the Gu Family Ancestor emerged from the cave dwelling.

"It's time for our Gu Family to stretch our muscles here in Central State."

Gu Haitang exuded the aura of a True Monarch Realm expert, without any attempt to conceal it.

In recent days, through Sage Jian Chen and Sage Zhao, he had mostly come to understand the situation of the Wu Family.

It's said that their clan had only two sages.

Externally, they claimed there was a True Monarch Realm Ancestor in seclusion possibly on the brink of death; whether this was true or not, or whether the individual was dead or alive, there was no exact news.

But even if there were, so what?

He had confidence he could deal with a True Monarch Realm expert whose lifespan was nearly exhausted!

Even if that person wished to self-detonate, he could easily take them to the Outer Heaven Void. Even if the explosion left him severely injured, it wouldn't matter.

Stepping on the Wu Family would provide the best opportunity for the Gu Family to take charge of Central State!

"Uh... Do I need to go?"

Gu Sanfeng raised his hand weakly and asked.

He felt his presence was a bit too low.

Even his great-nephew was discussing eradicating a family in Central State.

Yet, he had just broken through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, not even as high-ranked as his great-nephew, and as for strength, he was worlds apart!

Taking on a major task like exterminating the Wu Family seemed a bit superfluous if he went along!

"You stay at the Sword Sect."

"When I return this time, I'll help you secure a spot as an Inner Sect Disciple."

Gu Haitang glanced casually at him; this nephew of his was far too different from his own son.

It was incomprehensible how, though they come from the same lineage, the disparity between them could be so vast.

"Ah?"

"Inner Sect Disciple..."

"Thank you, thank you."

"I don't know how to address this elder."

"Could it be Master of Changge?"

Gu Sanfeng was overjoyed upon hearing that this formidable elder wanted to arrange for him a position as an Inner Sect Disciple at the Sword Sect.

However, he was completely unaware of the elder's identity; just the aura alone was far more terrifying than that of any Sage Realm expert!

"Unworthy descendant..."

Gu Haitang's eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"?"

With such a reprimand, Gu Sanfeng was a bit confused; why would this elder suddenly scold someone?

His filial piety, what's it to him?

Even the old man had never spoken to him like this!

"Well, Third Uncle... this is the Ancestor of our Gu Family..."

Gu Changge couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

He was afraid his third uncle might do something else to displease the Ancestor.

"..."

Hearing this, Gu Sanfeng was momentarily stunned in place.

Staring at the figure of the Ancestor, it took a good while before he suddenly realized.

With a sliding kneel, he came before the Ancestor's feet, his forehead knocking on the ground!

"Unworthy descendant Gu Sanfeng pays respect to the Ancestor!"

"Long live the Ancestor!"

"Earlier I failed to recognize the Ancestor, please forgive me!"

This smoothly executed display of respect left everyone present dumbfounded.

Even Gu Haitang, who had been a bit displeased and intended to further reprimand him, paused at this sudden act, and eventually could only silently say, "Stand up."

"Hehe... hehe, Ancestor, it's just that your aura is so terrifying, I thought you were some Immortal from the Sword Sect."

After standing up, Gu Sanfeng still had the nerve to flatter the Ancestor thick-facedly.

Although his Cultivation Talent was not high, his ability to get along and thrive within the Gu Family owed much to his relationship with the old man, and his interpersonal EQ was not low!

He easily dissipated the awkwardness of not recognizing the Ancestor just now.

And wasn't kneeling to greet the Ancestor completely normal?

Not embarrassing at all!

"You..."

"Let it be."

Gu Haitang's eyelids twitched as his gaze swept across the three figures before him.

These three generations from the same lineage were entirely different!

Gu Kuang, the old young man, was a pure brawler, knowing only to act tough and fight to the death.

His son, on the other hand, was sly and crafty, not particularly talented in cultivation but very skilled in the art of bootlicking.

As for the young Changge...

He was simply a monster!

Incomparable in Cultivation Talent and terrifyingly powerful, he was reliable and composed in regular times.

It was baffling how the three generations could differ so greatly!

"My Lord, do you need me to summon some Elders from the Sword Sect for you?"

"I believe that many Elders would be willing to help just at your request."

"That Wu Family is hardly a troublesome matter."

"Perhaps... even a True Monarch Realm Honorary Supreme might be tempted to assist because of your request."

Sage Zhao suddenly stepped forward and offered with a bow.

"There's no need; after all, this matter is between the Gu Family and the Wu Family, and there is no need for the Sword Sect to intervene."

Gu Changge immediately shook his head and declined the offer.

Exterminating the Wu Family was easy, and even his Master had asked him several times if he needed assistance to flatten the Wu Family with a single slap!

However, his goal wasn't just the Wu Family's downfall; what was more important was the Attribute Points he could gain from slaying the Wu Family's Great Power!

Naturally, he couldn't allow anyone from the Sword Sect to assist.

The presence of the Ancestor, a True Monarch Realm expert, was enough!

"Although we three are now Elders, we are free of other duties--our only responsibility is to attend to everything concerning you, Lord."

"Please allow us three to accompany and assist you."

Realizing the Lord might not want to bring outsiders, Sage Jian Chen proactively spoke up and volunteered.

If the Wu Family had an old Ancestor in the True Monarch Realm with a dwindling lifespan, relying solely on the Gu Family Ancestor might be dangerous.

Having three more Sages in attendance would be enough to manage everything.
