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

Chapter 327: Chapter 204: Making a Decision, Sword Sect’s Saint Heir!_3

Wan Hua Valley had unexpectedly chosen to withdraw.

However, that naturally was a good thing for them, one less competitor.

At the moment, everyone was looking intently at Gu Changge, waiting to see what decision he would make.

Even the members of the Gu Family were holding their breaths, extremely tense.

It felt as though this decision would affect the life or death of the Gu Family, almost as if they were the ones making this crucial decision…

Finally, Gu Changge spoke, his gaze turning towards Sage Li He of the Immortal Ascension Sect, “Senior Li…”

Hearing that, Sage Li He, who had not been very confident to begin with, suddenly brightened up.

Excitedly, he replied, “Young friend, you absolutely won’t be wrong in choosing the Immortal Ascension Sect!”

Sage Jian Chen was slightly stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Sword Sect had already offered such significant benefits; how could he choose Immortal Ascension Sect?

Before he could say anything more to fight for his cause,

Gu Changge continued, “I apologize, truthfully, this Young Master really wanted to join the Immortal Ascension Sect, but the actions of that Saint of yours have truly alarmed me, so I regretfully must decline…”

Upon hearing his speech, everyone was taken aback.

The excited expression on Sage Li He’s face also froze there.

After coming to his senses, he gave Gu Changge a deep look, “Understood.”

This wasn’t about wanting to join the Immortal Ascension Sect; this was about wanting the Wu Jiang Saint dead…

He would have to report everything accurately to the Immortal Ascension Sect after returning, and once his words reached the ears of many Elders and the Sect Master, it would probably bring big trouble to the Wu Jiang Saint.

Then, Gu Changge turned his gaze towards the Heartless Buddha of the Buddhist Sect.

“Senior Heartless, I truly am not destined for the Buddhist Sect.”

After hearing that, the Heartless Buddha was quite calm, bringing his hands together and nodding slightly.

When the Sword Sect promised that the Supreme Elder himself would teach,

he had already felt that things were set in stone.

“Wan Hua Valley… although this Young Master was tempted, I can only say sorry now.”

Gu Changge then gave a cupped fist salute toward Sage Orchid.

“It’s okay; although Wan Hua Valley ordinarily forbids the entry of men… Brother Gu could be an exception.”

“After you arrive in the Central State, if you are free, you can visit our Wan Hua Valley.”

“Giggle… This is an opportunity other male cultivators in the Central State would envy!”

Sage Orchid covered her mouth and chuckled, casting a friendly glance.

Seeing that Gu Changge had refused the other three Holy Lands, Jian Chen’s heart, which had been in suspense, completely settled down!

His entire posture straightened up considerably.

Just as Gu Changge glanced in his direction, Jian Chen immediately cupped his fist, “Young friend, the Sword Sect does not break its promises!”

“The junior choosing to join the Sword Sect naturally believes in the Sword Sect…”

Gu Changge responded with a slight salute.

“When can the young friend set off?”

Jian Chen asked eagerly.

“This…”

“Please inform the Sect that I cannot leave for Central State immediately.”

“At least, I need to wait about a year.”

“It’s also a good opportunity for me to sort out some matters in the Northern Domain, then I can head to Central State for cultivation with peace of mind.”

“Is that possible?”

Gu Changge had no intention of heading to Central State immediately; though he already possessed the combat power of an Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, it wasn’t safe enough yet!

At the very least, he would wait until he had broken through the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, and there were some matters to attend to before that.

“No problem!”

Jian Chen directly agreed without needing to report back to the Sect.

Just a delay of a year, what was that worth!

As long as the joining of Sword Sect was confirmed!

“Since the young friend has made a decision, I will take my leave.”

“Of course, if the young friend changes his mind during this period, Immortal Ascension Sect is always welcome to you.”

Sage Li He, unable to sit still any longer, stood up, cupped his fists toward Gu Changge, left behind those words, and directly departed.

“Amitabha, may the benefactor’s virtue be boundless.”

The person from the Buddhist Sect also showed no intention of staying any longer, bringing his hands together, nodding slightly with a light laugh toward Gu Changge, then also vanished.

“Brother Gu, remember to visit us at Wan Hua Valley; don’t forget, all the fairies from our valley are waiting for you.”

Sage Orchid, beaming, said, then even cast a coquettish glance, vanishing like dissolving petals.

“Cough…”

Gu Changge, facing the departing trio, slightly cupped his fist, trying to say something, but was choked back by the words of the Wan Hua Valley’s sage.

She was indeed pretty, but as a Sage Realm cultivator, she must have been around a thousand to eighteen hundred years old; why was she still acting coy and casting coquettish glances at him…

Shivering slightly, he thought no more on it.

However, once he’d head to Central State later, he still planned on visiting Wan Hua Valley.

He was curious to see what such a special place, which admitted only female cultivators, was really like.

After the three left, Jian Chen also didn’t linger,

immediately using the Communication Jade Token to transmit the news back to Central State.

It wasn’t long before he received a response.

“Brother Gu… Saint, the Sect has commanded me to stay in the Northern Domain, guarding the way until you come to the Sword Sect.”

Jian Chen, looking at the message returned, immediately beamed with joy, turning to Gu Changge to speak.

But as he spoke, he changed the address from the original “young friend” to “Saint.”

Although all nine Saint Peaks had their masters now,

the moment Gu Changge agreed, he benefited from the treatment of the First Saint Son Peak.

As to whether he would challenge for a Saint Peak once he arrived at Sword Sect, that was another matter to discuss.

“Then I’ll arrange accommodations for the senior…”

Gu Changge felt somewhat dazed; he had just become the Saint of the Central State Sword Sect?

People longed for the honor of joining this sacred land, yet he had become a saint so simply; it was truly an indescribable feeling.

“No need for the trouble, Saint.”

“I get along quite well with Daoist Fellow Xue; it’s perfect for us to live together and discuss our paths.”

Sage Jian Chen waved his hand off, looking towards Old Blind Man as if to seek his opinion.

“Couldn’t be more pleased.” Old Blind Man at this moment also sincerely felt happy for his master, and saw his bright future ahead!

“This…”

“Shall we throw a banquet to celebrate?”

One of the Elders suggested timidly.

“Nonsense!”

“Of course, we have to do it big, let the whole Northern Domain know about it!”

“Send out invitations, to Heavenly Cold Sect and the Imperial Family; stating that the Young Master is joining Sword Sect, positioned as Saint, under the tutelage of a Land Immortal from Supreme Elder Realm!”

“Include all this in the invitation!”

Supreme Elder Gu Liang immediately slammed the table, his eyes sparkling.
