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

Chapter 185: Chapter 157: Triggering the Beast Tide, Setting up a Platform to Scheme Against Gu Changge!

Time flew, and soon another five days had passed.

During this period, Gu Changge remained in his room, cultivating.

Each day, he would communicate with his family to inquire about the situation—

whether anyone from the Central State had come.

But the replies he received were always that all was well with the family.

This made him begin to doubt whether his feelings had been mistaken.

“Could it be simply because I came into contact with the Saint Heir of Central State, that I’ve felt uneasy?”

Inside the room, Gu Changge furrowed his brows and muttered to himself.

He didn’t consider himself to be overly arrogant, but he also believed that in the future he would certainly not be weaker than those Saint Heirs, and even thought that as long as he went to Central State, he would one day stand above all beings. With authority in hand, how could he be inferior to those so-called Saint Heirs?

Even without the system now, as long as his Root Bone Comprehension remained intact, it would be enough for him to surpass those Saint Heirs in Central State!

With this thought in mind, he opened his attribute panel:

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 405]

[Comprehension: 357]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Spirit Moon Technique, Mystic Sky Technique.]

[Realm: Reach Profound Realm·Perfection (65/100)]

[Divine Skills: Emperor Seal, Soaring Dragon Transformation, Dragon Roar Sword Technique, Heavenly Cold Finger, Ice God Needle…]

[Talent: Transcendence (Tao Bell), Protection (Golden Lotus), Hidden Breath, Dragon Flame]

[Attribute Point: 8460]

Looking at his panel, his realm had made significant progress and was not far from breaking through to the Ruins Realm.

Adding to that his Root Bone Comprehension and many Divine Skills and talents, most of his unease had dissipated.

“Indeed, only by enhancing my strength can I have true confidence.”

Gu Changge waved away the panel, and his whole being regained confidence.

In the Divine Skills section, a new Earth Rank Mid-Grade Divine Skill, the Ice God Needle, had appeared a few days ago. It was shared with him by his wife.

This Divine Skill perfectly complemented his current shortcoming in Divine Soul Attack types.

Especially since his Divine Soul was unusually strong, employing Divine Soul Attack Divine Skills yielded surprisingly effective results.

Catching someone off guard, he didn’t even need to use the Transcendence of the Tao Bell to kill an enemy in a Great Realm above his own in an instant!

The only uncertainty was whether he could kill an enemy two Great Realms above his own after employing the effects of Transcendence.

Previously outside Duanbei City, although he had used the Tao Bell to slay a Demon Beast at the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, which was two Great Realms higher than his own, that was only achievable after the others had broken its defenses.

Now that he possessed a Divine Soul Attack Divine Skill, he felt there was still a chance to defeat such an enemy on his own.

…

Meanwhile, inside the Inheritance Tower.

Liu Qingqing had reached the highest ninth level.

Unlike every other level below.

The moment she stepped into the ninth level, it was as if she was in a world of ice and snow.

A thick layer of ice covered the floor and walls.

In the exact center of the ninth level, there was an ice-blue Jade Talisman.

It was the inheritance of the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess.

This level was permeated with Tao Rhythms exuding coldness, roaming freely everywhere.

Occasionally, it would transform into the figure of a woman, imitating the movements of comprehending the Jade Talisman.

At first glance, Liu Qingqing was so surprised that she thought the Tao Rhythms had come to life.

It was only after observing for a while that she understood that these Tao Rhythms recorded the scenes of the previous Sect Saintesses during their inheritance.

She was in no hurry; after all, this was the last level.

So, she simply sat cross-legged on the icy layer, quietly contemplating those Tao Rhythms that radiated coldness.

Time slowly passed.

Her breath gradually began to align with the Tao Rhythm of this level.

After a while, Liu Qingqing, still sitting in place, even had white ice crystals shimmering on her eyelashes.

Not until she had adjusted her state to be almost completely consistent with the Tao Rhythm emanating from this level did she slowly open her eyes. Although covered in numerous ice crystals, she felt no hint of cold.

She even took the opportunity to absorb about ten percent of the coldness Tao Rhythm of this level during her comprehension, slightly enhancing the Coldness Law she had come to understand.

When she wanted to absorb more, she found she could not do it at all.

It seemed to be a protective mechanism of the Inheritance Tower.

Seeing this, Liu Qingqing no longer hesitated and slowly stood up.

Out of respect, she had left her boots on the first level after entering the Inheritance Tower.

Now, her fair bare feet walked on the icy layer, feeling only a faint coolness that was very comfortable.

At the central position, ice pillars surrounded and protected a Jade Talisman.

Imitating the movements of the shadows formed by the Tao Rhythms, she did not touch the Jade Talisman.

Instead, she sat on an ice sculpture resembling a meditation cushion not far in front of the Jade Talisman.

Then she extended her Divine Sense to touch the Jade Talisman.

The moment her Divine Sense touched it, it was as if it had entered another space entirely.

The sky was filled with the Dao Rhythms of ice and snow transforming into sentences of Cultivation Techniques floating in the heavens and earth.

There were even Tao Rhythms turning into translucent, faceless human figures sitting cross-legged, demonstrating the Cultivation Techniques with clear visualization of their movement within the body.

Liu Qingqing watched intently, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

…

“Daoist Fellow Li, what do you mean by this?”

“Not going to the Gu Family in search of the Young Dragon?”

Two Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm beings, originally sent to the Gu Family, frowned in confusion.

That day, they had already reached Qingzhou and were not far from the Gu Family.

Thinking about the words they would say later, they received a message from Li Si telling them to hold off on alerting the Gu Family and to meet up with him instead.

“The plan has changed.”

“The Saint Heir has ordered us to bring someone back, let’s put aside the matter of the Young Dragon for now.”

Li Si reassured the two with a chuckle.

With the news from Xu Qing, the Saint Heir had already changed his mind.
