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

Gu Family's Inner Court, even though Gu Zhan intended to suppress the news.

Nevertheless, news travels when many mouths chatter.

In just half a month, the news had spread throughout the Gu Family's main city, even the city's traders were discussing it.

And the news grew more outlandish as it spread.

In the main hall, Gu Zhan, listening to the report from the fifth elder, couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"You're saying... the news is already known throughout the city?"

"Haven't I already issued an order? Who let the news out?"

"Well, this elder does not know, but now the whole city is discussing the Young Master's business."

"What exactly are they saying?"

"Um... this elder was having tea in the city today, and roughly, what I heard was... the Young Master is our Gu Family's Immortal reincarnated from five thousand years ago, who has now retrieved his former Immortal Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, and in a few days, he is likely to re-ascend to his Immortal status."

"..."

After hearing the fifth elder's report, Gu Zhan's mouth twitched.

How was he unaware that the Gu Family had ever produced a True Immortal?

And a reincarnated Immortal!?

"Do we need to control this?"

"No need."

"Just let them spread it; this can bewilder outsiders more than suppressing the news."

"Who would believe that my Gu Family's Young Master is a reincarnated Immortal, holding Immortal Artifacts, about to ascend?"

Gu Zhan waved his hand, signaling the fifth elder to step down as there was no need to dwell further on this matter, though he hadn't expected the situation to develop this way.

"What's the matter?"

"Is there anything else?" Seeing the fifth elder hesitating to speak, Gu Zhan asked with a frown.

After hemming and hawing for a while, the fifth elder hesitantly asked in a low confidence, "Family Head, has our Gu Family truly never had an Immortal Realm ancestor?"

"Shall we check the historical records? Maybe it's true?"

The fifth elder's words left Gu Zhan dumbfounded.

Good heavens!

It's one thing for outsiders to speculate.

But you, a Gu Family elder, believe it too!?

"Nonsense!"

"If you wish to check, do it yourself, the Family Head here has no time for such thoughts!"

Gu Zhan reprimanded with a frown, seeing this the fifth elder could only sheepishly bow and retreat.

But after the fifth elder left,

he put down the tasks in hand, frowning contemplatively about the fifth elder's words.

"It couldn't actually be a reincarnated Immortal, could it?"

"I've never heard of such a thing."

"Besides, there's no record of any ancestor achieving True Immortal state in my Gu Family."

"If there had been a True Immortal ancestor, my Gu Family would not merely be based in the Northern Domain, but should be established in the Central State instead."

"Tsk..."

"Let it be, I'll look into the family records when I have some spare time."

Though he didn't believe the fifth elder's words, and even less the city's rumors.

However, it must be said, the various phenomena displayed by the Young Master Gu Changge had made him begin to consider the possibility.

What would normally be preposterous rumors seemed to have become reality again and again for them.

Even if he truly was a reincarnated Immortal, they could calmly accept it, and simply say, "No wonder!"

...

Over this half-month, Gu Changge's life seemed entirely normal.

Only unfortunate was that Wang Yue was in seclusion hitting the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm, and Youbai at a critical moment of breaking through into the Void Refinement Realm.

He was holding nearly three hundred thousand Attribute Points and had no opportunity to use them!

But today, the chance finally arrived.

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue has broken through to the Mid-Stage Ruins Realm, Reward: Enlightenment Pill (Ruins Realm) one piece, already distributed to the System Space.]

Even though the alert sounded, he was too preoccupied to pay attention.

His aura steadily climbed.

After half a month, he had once again reached the brink of a breakthrough!

Numerous amounts of Spiritual Energy surged from the world around him, forming a noticeable vortex of Spiritual Energy around him.

Spiritual Energy rushed towards him competitionally, with no effort needed for him to absorb it.

It seemed as if his body, to the Spiritual Energy of the world, was something like a precious treasure, which made Spiritual Energy feel a deep affinity with him.

His aura grew ever stronger, and his realm broke through without any obstacles!

"Phew—"

After completing a full Circulation of the Cultivation Technique, he finally took a long breath.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already emanating the aura of the Late-Stage Ruins Realm!

And the door of the seclusion room had opened.

Wang Yue stepped forward, bowing slightly, "Congratulations, Lord Husband, you have broken through to the Late-Stage Ruins Realm!"

"Ah... truly enviable."

"I have worked so hard for so long, barely breaking through to the Mid-Stage Ruins Realm, yet still unable to catch up to Lord Husband's pace."

Despite these words, Wang Yue still flashed a slight smile.

Now that she had also broken through to the Mid-Stage Ruins Realm, there was nothing serious about being surpassed by Lord Jun; at least she caught up with Liu Qingqing's realm!

In this way, she wouldn't be at the bottom.

"You're not bad either," Gu Changge spoke casually with a light smile.

Just as he was about to say something more, the two of them suddenly looked towards Yuan Youbai's room.

A wave of Dragon Power spread out.

Moreover, a dragon-shaped Tao Rhythm emitted a series of deep dragon roars.

The small fellow's aura was rapidly increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!

"This is... about to break through to the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm?"

Wang Yue covered her small mouth, speaking in a somewhat surprised manner.

"It seems so."

Gu Changge wasn't quite as surprised; the little fellow had consumed so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, so breaking through to the Void Refining Realm was just a matter of course.

But it was well that he broke through, as he was just worrying about having too many Attribute Points to spend.

Now that both of them had ended their seclusion, it was the perfect time for him to enhance their Root Bone Comprehension.

Under their gaze, in just a moment, the room began to emit the aura unique to the Sixth Grade Void Refining Realm!
