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

Chapter 325: Chapter 204: Making a Decision, Sword Sect’s Saint Heir!

The next morning.

Gu Zhan ended his cultivation session and was considering how to invite those four Sages from the Sage Realm when he walked to the Council Hall, only to discover that the four Sages from the Holy Lands of the Central State had already arrived…

And he didn’t even know when they had come early and were waiting inside the Council Hall.

They didn’t act like strangers either, seated in pairs, each silent.

All of them had an air of determination about them.

Apart from the four Sages, Old Blind Man was also seated beside Jian Chen, eyes closed and silent.

As for the Gu Family Elders who were present, they hadn’t entered the hall.

Instead, they waited outside the hall, occasionally glancing at the Sage Realm Great Powers inside.

“Cough…”

“Why stand outside?”

Gu Zhan cleared his throat before leading the Elders inside.

“Please feel free to sit wherever you like, as you would normally,” he said to the gathered.

Seeing Gu Family Head Gu Zhan enter, Jian Chen smiled and nodded slightly first.

“Many thanks…”

Gu Zhan instinctively responded with thanks, but felt rather awkward.

This was the Gu Family after all, yet he felt like he was the guest…

Nevertheless, he took his seat with the other Elders.

“When will Little Friend Gu arrive?” Sage Li He from the Immortal Ascension Sect asked with a friendly smile.

“Uh…”

For a moment, Gu Zhan didn’t know how to respond.

He turned to look at the other Elders.

The Gu Family Elders shook their heads; how could they dictate when the Young Master would come?

That was up to the Young Master himself—whenever he felt like it.

Not getting an answer, the four Sages didn’t persist and simply sipped the tea prepared by the Gu Family Elders.

…

In the Young Master Palace, Wang Yue was getting anxious for her husband, who seemed not to be in a hurry at all.

“Lord Husband, it’s already noon,” she said.

“The Great Powers from Central State must be growing impatient, right?”

As she spoke, she intended to help her husband get dressed.

Seeing this, Gu Changge calmly got up from the bed and let his wife help him dress.

“I need to hurry or not? If I don’t make them a little impatient, how will they compete?” Gu Changge said with a slight smile, offhandedly.

He was in no rush himself.

Despite a small mishap during the talent test, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

By now, all Four Great Sacred Lands of Central State would surely not miss out on him—a talent with an Extreme Dao Body and suspected of having a Sacred Body.

If they weren’t willing to wait even a bit, then he would really have to reconsider whether it was necessary to join a Holy Land.

He didn’t want to join a Holy Land only to end up restricted too much.

Making them wait was just a little test.

It was nothing serious.

“Has Lord Husband decided which Holy Land to join?” Wang Yue asked curiously as she accompanied him to the door of the palace.

“If the conditions are about the same,” he replied casually, “I will choose the Sword Sect.”

“But I’ve heard that Wan Hua Valley is full of beautiful fairies. Doesn’t it tempt you now that Wan Hua Valley has come to recruit Lord Husband?” Wang Yue suddenly blinked and asked.

“That’s a good suggestion,” he responded with a slight smile. “Joining Wan Hua Valley is also fine.”

“When I’m amidst a sea of flowers, wouldn’t I be as joyful as an immortal…” Gu Changge continued, then stepped out of the palace, heading to the Inner Court.

Wang Yue puffed her cheeks but knew her husband was just teasing her.

With his talents, if he really wanted to experience what it was like amidst a sea of flowers, wouldn’t that be easy?

Even just with his identity as Young Master Gu of the Gu Family, many female cultivators in the Northern Domain now were keen to get close to him.

If he joined a Holy Land from Central State, he’d naturally attract even more attention.

There would be no need to join Wan Hua Valley to enjoy such a scene.

…

Inside the Council Hall, the four Sages from Central State showed no emotion and remained silent.

However, the Gu Family members were seated very stiffly, occasionally glancing towards the entrance.

Sitting with the four Great Powers, who were of the same Realm as the Ancestor, made them extremely anxious.

Especially since the Young Master had yet to show up even by noon.

Gu Zhan couldn’t help but worry.

Was the young man planning to stand them up?

Fortunately, just as his concerns mounted, a figure stepped into the hall.

“Junior has overslept and kept you waiting, my apologies…” said Gu Changge as he entered the hall, bowing.

“No trouble, no trouble at all,” the four Sages replied with smiles, all looking at him.

Aside from the good-looking female cultivator from Wan Hua Valley, the other three Sages stood up to greet him.

Jian Chen and Li He nodded towards him slightly.

Even the Buddhist Sect’s Sage folded his hands and nodded.

Seeing this, Sage Orchid, who had not planned to get up, had to laugh and rise to beckon him over.

This scene, observed by the Gu Family members, made them feel ashamed.

They thought about the vast disparity between themselves and the Young Master.

When they had entered the hall, the four Sages were quite unceremonious, even treating the place as if it were their own home.

But now, with the Young Master’s arrival, the four Sages of the same Realm as the Ancestor all stood up to greet him proactively!

In terms of Realm, the Young Master was already at the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, still behind the Gu Family’s Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elders in power, but in status, he was worlds apart!

Before, it was only an internal status within the Gu Family, but now in the eyes of outsiders, the Young Master’s status far exceeded theirs and even surpassed that of Gu Family Head Gu Zhan!

“Little friend, have you decided which Holy Land you wish to join?”
