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

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Young Master’s Life is More Important Than the Elder’s!

Although Gu Changge had no intention of concealing the existence of his three Qi Seas, every time he was investigated, he used the twelfth-grade lotus within the Qi Seas to convert all three into the spiritual energy characteristics of the Mystic Sky Technique.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to them why he knew the Heavenly Cold Sect’s technique, or even the Heavenly Rank Technique of the Northern Domain Royal Family.

Even so, the Great Elder was completely dumbfounded.

His hand, resting on his shoulder, never retracted, repeatedly making sure he was not seeing things incorrectly.

Three Qi Seas…

He had never heard of the Qi Sea Realm allowing the opening of a second Qi Sea!

The Qi Sea Realm was already a transcendent Realm, and every cultivator would try to expand their Qi Sea to the utmost before choosing to breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm.

Yet, this youngster not only had three Qi Seas, but each of them was far superior to others—how monstrous!

And there was also…

What was that lotus about!?

It appeared to be continuously drawing spiritual energy from the heaven and earth to nourish the Qi Seas.

No wonder this youngster’s speed of breakthrough was like he was on drugs; did he really have such a thing in his Qi Sea!?

“What’s the Great Elder freaking out about?”

“What exactly happened?”

“Didn’t this kid ruin his own cultivation?”

“I heard from the Second Elder that he was in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm when he came, and now he’s already in the late stage; it’s been less than half a month, and he’s already broken through two Small Realms.”

“Ah…”

“But think about it, there should be a way to remedy it, as long as he doesn’t rush to breakthrough afterward.”

Upon seeing the Fourth Elder stunned in place, his mind immediately started to speculate; it seemed that what Gu Kuang said was indeed sarcastic.

This kid… might have taken a wrong path.

“…”

“Old Four, see for yourself.”

“I don’t know if he’s ruined , but I feel that my Gu Family might have produced a monster…”

The Great Elder said stiffly as he turned his head.

Given this situation, Gu Kuang didn’t explicitly state it earlier, and naturally, he wouldn’t be the one to talk too much, especially with so many deacons present— it was inevitable that someone would blab.

It was better to keep the number of people who knew as few as possible, ideally limited only to the elders!

“A monster?”

“I too was once called a prodigious monster, but what now? Am I not still stuck in the late stage of the Heavenly Gate Realm?”

The Fourth Elder scoffed at himself but still stepped forward; he wanted to see what kind of situation it was that made the Great Elder directly call out a monster.

After a while.

Three elders stared at each other.

They occasionally glanced at Gu Changge, who was smiling innocently.

“I never heard of such a thing…”

“How could this be possible?”

“But what the Second Elder said is true; indeed, no one has a more stable foundation than him…”

“However, wouldn’t this mean his breakthroughs will take several times longer…?”

“Hmm? Wait, are his breakthroughs slow!?”

“Second Elder, I ask you, are you sure this kid was just in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm before?”

“Sure, Gu Zhan gave him the Yin Yang Brew; my San was there too—it can’t be fake.”

“So, he just effortlessly, with those three whatnots… broke through to the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm?”

“And his foundation is incredibly solid, far surpassing everyone else.”

The three old men’s heads almost touched together as they whispered.

The numerous deacons nearby were completely befuddled, their curiosity nearly bursting.

What exactly was going on?

“Is the Young Master hiding some illness?”

“Did he bring three of some object?”

“I don’t understand…”

At that moment, a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Deacon stepped forward, wanting to cheekily probe into Gu Changge’s condition.

However, he was directly rebuked by the Great Elder, “Step aside, from today onwards no one is allowed to examine this child’s body. Those who disobey will be treated as traitors to the clan.”

“Ah?” The Unlimited Realm Deacon shrank his neck, a look of utter confusion on his face.

This only made the other deacons even more curious. What exactly was the situation with the new Young Master that even the Great Elder couldn’t help but curse and furthermore prohibited any examination, treating disobedience on par with clan betrayal? This was indeed grave!

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know. All you need to know is, from today onwards, the life of Young Master Gu is more important than those of us elders.”

“If there is danger, anyone can die, but he must not.”

“Do you understand?”

The Great Elder swept his gaze over everyone, not caring how curious they were, and spoke sternly.

Seeing them stunned, he shouted even louder, “Do you understand!”

“We understand!”

The group of deacons trembled and hastily bowed in response.

“Dismiss yourselves.”

“Keep today’s matters confidential.”

“Mind your own tongues.”

Seeing they understood the severity, the Great Elder waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

Even Gu Sanfeng, one of the deacons, was completely baffled. What exactly was going on with this damn kid that made the three elders, including the old master, so serious? @@novelbin@@

That’s not right… The old master had checked the kid just a month ago. What new tricks had he come up within such a short time?

With curiosity and perplexity, the deacons could only obediently leave the great hall.

For a moment, only Gu Changge and the three Heavenly Gate Realm elders remained in the vast hall.

The Great Elder raised his hand and set up a barrier formation before he asked,

“What exactly is going on with you?”

Gu Changge bowed and replied, “Junior had a chance encounter during the breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm, entering a state of Sudden Enlightenment for about two hours, and when I woke, it was like this.”

His words were half-truth, half-fabrication, not entirely whimsical.

“Sudden Enlightenment?”

“No wonder…”

“But this is excessively shocking.”

“I’ve lived a lifetime, and not only have I never heard of anyone having three Qi Seas, but even two are unheard of!”

“But… how could your breakthrough be so rapid?”

The Great Elder nodded slightly, clearly accepting his explanation. Aside from Sudden Enlightenment, not even the Ancestor from the Back Mountain could have such capabilities.

He then raised another question, adding quickly in case of any misunderstanding, “It’s alright if you don’t want to talk about it.”

“Perhaps it’s because of the Twelfth Grade Lotus.”

Gu Changge had long prepared his answer; everything about him, except the need to completely conceal the system, could be somewhat revealed.

Otherwise, there would inevitably be more trouble when it was exposed later.

“The elder might have noticed, the Lotus inside the junior continuously draws Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth to nourish the Qi Sea.”

“And when…junior actively cultivates, the Lotus further multiplies the effect.”

Saying this, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and started operating his Cultivation Technique.

Instantly, Spiritual Energy formed a faint vortex around him, his speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy surpassing even those in the Reach Profound Realm!

When he finished a full Circulation and slowly opened his eyes, including Gu Kuang, all three wore expressions of utter astonishment.

“Heaven favors our Gu Family…”

“If nothing goes wrong, why worry about our family not thriving?”

Finally, the Great Elder could only suppress the shock in his heart, stroke his beard and sigh, looking at Gu Changge with immense fondness!
