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

Chapter 123: Chapter 117: Central State’s Saint Heir, Ninth Grade Guardian! He’s Still Unwilling!?

As Gu Changge stepped out of the side hall, he happened to spot a familiar figure.

He was suspiciously trying to sneak out.

“Third uncle,” Gu Changge casually called out.

But Gu Sanfeng quickly appeared before him, covering his mouth with his hand.

However, it was already too late…

Hearing the voice of the Young Master, Gu Qian Jun quickly emerged from another side hall and respectfully stepped forward to greet him, “Young Master.”

He then turned to Gu Sanfeng, saying somewhat harshly, “Third Young Master, please go back and continue your cultivation.”

“The elder stated that if you fail to make a breakthrough, you will be sent out of the city for experience.”

Gu Sanfeng’s face immediately fell, and he walked back weakly.

This trip to Duanbei City was truly a curse!

He just wasn’t cut out for cultivation; staying in the Gu Family as a Deacon would have been good enough, but the old master just wouldn’t let him be.

It used to be fine when his great-nephew couldn’t cultivate. He stayed in the Gu Family to take care of things, and the old master left him alone.

But now?

This kid is breaking through a realm every few days, so impressive!

As for himself, the old master was even more disappointed, constantly pushing him to work hard in cultivation.

Even letting Gu Qian Jun keep an eye on him, he hadn’t left the house for over half a month!

Feeling cramped, he didn’t have the same love for cultivation as others; seclusion was too boring for him.

“Ah… I miss the beauties of Tiannan City,” Gu Sanfeng sighed deeply, resolutely returning to the side hall to continue his seclusion, his expression making it look as if he was heading off to his death.

Faced with the Young Master’s questioning look filled with curiosity, Gu Qian Jun simply indicated silently, “It was the Second Elder’s command. I am just following orders, and the Third Young Master always thinking about slacking off…”

“That’s good, Third Uncle’s realm is indeed a bit low.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly, not saying much more.

At home, it didn’t seem like much. His Third Uncle was at least at the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm.

But upon arriving in Duanbei City, he realized that many younger members of the Gu Family had already advanced to the Fifth-Grade Ruins Realm or even surpassed the Third Uncle, breaking into the Refining Void Realm to become a Deacon while still ten years younger.

“Young Master…you’ve broken through to the Reach Profound Realm?”@@novelbin@@

Gu Qian Jun suddenly came to his senses, his face full of disbelief.

He remembered, just over a month ago outside Duanbei City, he had personally witnessed the Young Master refining Spirit Marrow and breaking through to the Perfection of the Qi Sea Realm!

How could it be…

Less than a month later, another breakthrough?

“It was just luck,” Gu Changge waved his hand, not overly arrogant.

A Fourth Grade Reach Profound in the Northern Domain is considered to have achieved a level of cultivation, but is certainly not called a master.

It was merely qualification enough to come to Duanbei City for training!

Even if he could unleash enough power to suppress those in the Fifth Grade Ruins Realm across realms, it still wasn’t enough.

But no matter, this rate of breakthrough was something Gu Changge was quite satisfied with.

He believed it wouldn’t be long, maybe within ten years, he could even advance to the Eight-Grade Heavenly Gate Realm, or perhaps the Ninth Grade!

On this point, he was very confident!

“Luck?”

“Young Master is truly modest…”

Gu Qian Jun paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Who could rely on luck to advance from a mortal to the Fourth Grade Reach Profound Realm in two months?

Those realms took him almost twenty years to achieve!

Seeing that the Young Master said no more, he merely silently followed him.

Along the way, members of the Gu Family paid their respects very respectfully, even the Deacons smiled and bowed when they saw this Young Master.

Gu Changge was walking there, somewhat lost in thought for a while.

The rise in realm had not brought him much feeling; rather, the change in his status within the Gu Family made him feel as if in a dream.

He had thought he would only shrink back in the Back Mountain, anonymously passing his life, but now he had become a respected Young Master among the Gu Family.

Indeed, fate plays with people!

Just after Gu Sanfeng returned to the side hall, he came face to face with the old master who was planning to leave.

“Uh… Dad, why that look? I just went out for some air, and now I’m back to cultivate!” he said, somewhat sheepishly, with a forced smile.

“Do you see me managing you?”

“Didn’t you feel it just now?”

“Our great-grandson has already broken through to the Reach Profound Realm.”

“Just go on being lazy; before long, his realm will surpass yours, and I’d like to see if you still have the face to be lazy.”

Gu Kuang glanced at him expressionlessly.

“Ah?”

“I really didn’t notice…”

“But how can I compare myself to that brat?”

“Besides, even if he breaks through to the Eight-Grade Heavenly Gate Realm, he still has to call me Third Uncle, right…”

“The higher my great-nephew’s realm, the better I can enjoy life in the Gu Family, right?”

Gu Sanfeng, far from feeling motivated or inspired, mused philosophically.

“…”

“I see you’re beyond help.”

“Whatever you like.”

“Sigh…”

“At least the great-grandson is promising, carrying the demeanor I once had.”

Gu Kuang’s eyelids twitched slightly, suppressing the urge to slap him against the wall, but he could only shake his head helplessly and leave. As long as the great-grandson left the Gu Family residence, he would personally follow, ensuring no accidents occurred.

This was Duanbei City, after all, not the Gu Family’s territory; extra vigilance was needed. If the great-grandson encountered any accident, he would truly be ready to burn his own Essence Blood and Lifespan for the sake of avenging his family, but that still wouldn’t bring back the great-grandson!

“Your demeanor back then?”

“Dad, you really do give yourself too much credit…”

“Everyone knows now that apart from his exceptional talent, Changge is also top-notch in intelligence.”

“Back then… you were merely known as Gu Madman.”

Watching his father leave, Gu Sanfeng couldn’t help but murmur quietly.

But then, a large handprint formed from spiritual energy suddenly fell towards him from above.
