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

"I, the Saint Heir, shall settle the scores all at once after I inherit the Immortal Law."

"Old thing… savor the taste of awaiting death. It's like the despair I experienced in the Demon Beast Forest."

"Regrettably, I am the Heavenly Pride Son, destined to rise from desperate situations, while you... will be merely another dry bone beneath my feet!"

After his ambitious proclamation, Wu Jiang calmed his mind and resumed his Cultivation.

After becoming a Saint Heir, he could not afford to waste a moment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just face rivals for higher peaks but might be ousted from his position as a Saint Heir.

The Ninth Saint Heir place was the most susceptible to challenge and the most irritating status!

Those who deemed themselves ready would always challenge him first. And according to sect rules, although he didn't have to accept every challenge, he was required to face at least three challenges per year. Of course… if less than three challengers appeared, it wouldn't count.

However, in reality, there were far more than three who challenged him each year; at least thirty, most of whom recklessly sought to try their luck, with few truly powerful among them, or rather... they only thought they had the strength, but they were nowhere near a real Saint Heir!

...

Time swiftly moved to seven days later.

That night, Gu Changge did not practice Cultivation.

Instead, he slept soundly, embracing his wife, Wang Yue, on the bed.

He didn't know what new idea this girl had recently come up with. Apart from cultivating, she insisted on sharing the bed every night, which quite disrupted his Cultivation schedule.

However, it wasn't without its benefits.

At least now Wang Yue had also reached the Ruins Realm, and the reward he received afterward had increased to 10 Attribute Points.

Though, for him who now possessed twenty thousand Attribute Points, it was merely a drop in the ocean, but it was better than nothing.

[Would you like to claim yesterday's Daoist Couple Cultivation results immediately? If not claimed timely, it will accumulate automatically.]

As the system prompt rang out, Gu Changge woke up, fully refreshed.

Due to the time that both Wang Yue and he delayed in Cultivation, his progress towards the Mid-Stage had slowed down a bit.

But he was very close now.

Instinctively, he mentally chose to claim, and immediately, immense Spiritual Energy surged inside him.

As the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus rapidly rotated, Spiritual Energy filled his Qi Sea and flowed through the meridians in his entire body.

His Realm also broke through without any hindrance at this moment, directly entering the Mid-Stage of the Fifth Grade Ruins Realm!

The breakthrough aura also woke up Wang Yue who was sleeping deeply.

"You... how did you achieve a breakthrough just now?"

Wang Yue, confused, stared at him, not understanding.

Cultivation was one thing.

But to have a breakthrough after just sleeping?

Others either underwent arduous closed-door Cultivation or relied on various Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to break through their bottlenecks.

How could it be that for her husband, all it took was a good night's sleep to naturally achieve a breakthrough?

She even pinched her fair thigh, the pain telling her this was not a dream but reality!

"Because your husband, I possess the Innate Furnace Tripod Holy Body."

"The passion of last night naturally improved my Realm, and, just like that, I naturally made a breakthrough."

"It's all thanks to my wife!"

Gu Changge was rather calm about his breakthrough, having gotten used to it.

Moreover, with the capability to see the system panel daily, knowing he was about to breakthrough, naturally, he would not be overly surprised.

Instead, he began to tease.

"Ah?"

"Did I really have that effect…?"

Wang Yue, full of doubts, was half skeptical about her husband's explanation.

She really couldn't believe that just by sleeping with her, her husband could achieve a breakthrough...

The issue was, how come she hadn't made any breakthrough?

"Wuu…"

Wang Yue puffed her mouth, sitting on the bed feeling rather aggrieved.

Despondently, she gazed at her husband.

She felt truly downcast!

She was still some way from advancing to the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm, probably needing one or two more months, yet her husband effortlessly surpassed her after a refreshing sleep!

Oh heavens, how could she ever catch up now!

"Why, does my breakthrough not make my wife happy?"

Gu Changge, noticing her mood, toyed with her hair, chuckling.

"Happy!"

"So happy, I could die of happiness..."

Wang Yue bitterly smiled as she responded.

Now she really felt like the weakest!

Even her husband had advanced to the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm, Liu Qingqing had already advanced, and Yuan Youbai, that little rascal, after receiving the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from her husband, had fallen into a deep sleep, likely soon to wake up in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm!

Only she seemed unable to catch up!

"My wife need not be discouraged."

"Qingqing's Root Bone is, after all, much higher than yours.

"And Youbai was naturally at a higher Realm from the start."

"As long as my wife makes an effort, it won't take long for you to catch up too."

Gu Changge, seeing this, ceased his teasing and comforted her earnestly.

He then checked Wang Yue's current panel:

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue]

[Root Bone: 125]

[Comprehension: 100]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret (Heavenly Rank Lower)]

[Realm: Ruins Realm·Early Stage]

[Divine Skills: Emperor Seal, Soaring Dragon Transformation, Dragon Roar Sword Technique.]

Looking at the panel, Wang Yue's attributes were significantly less than those on Qingqing's panel.

However, he wasn't lacking in Attribute Points now.

Especially since he visited the Back Mountain a few days ago and, discovering that the Ancestor seemed to be absent, he immediately guessed that his previous words likely had an effect.
