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

He was only at the Fifth Grade of the Ruins Realm, how could he be facing such a Heavenly Tribulation?

"Five percent."

"Focus on the tribulation!"

"I will be nearby, but I cannot intervene..."

"Survive!"

Gu Haitang's expression was extremely complicated; saying five percent was already an overestimation.

But if he said any lower, he feared the boy might fall into despair.

He could feel the oppressive might of the Heavenly Tribulation above his head, though it was much weaker than a typical Ninth Grade breakthrough to the Sage Realm.

Still... it was far beyond what a Fifth Grade Ruins Realm cultivator could withstand!

Having said that, his figure flashed and he moved away a full fifty miles, leaving the range of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Leaving Gu Changge alone, standing amidst the mountains, admiring the beautiful scenery around him.

He couldn't help but joke to himself with a self-deprecating laugh, "If I really die here, at least the view is nice."

He too could feel the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation.

But there was no other choice at the moment.

There was no escaping it.

All he could do was look at the two Earth Rank defense magical treasures his ancestor had placed on him, and then he pulled out his own top-grade Heavenly Rank Xuanhuang Tower and held it in his palm.

He tried his best to adjust his aura to the optimum state.

Looking up, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed almost ready to descend.

At this moment, he wondered if he should take out the Communication Jade Token to have another word with his father, or leave some final words for his wife.

But then he thought, wouldn't that just show he had no confidence in himself?

Thus, he forcibly suppressed the fear of the Heavenly Tribulation in his heart and quietly waited.

"Daoist Fellow... what is this?"

The Red Robe Sage appeared beside the Gu Family Ancestor, frowning at the Heavenly Tribulation and couldn't help asking.

...

Gu Haitang didn't respond; his heart was filled with complex emotions.

This child was his family's hope, and even his personal hope for advancement.

To think that such a chosen one from the Gu Family had now triggered a Heavenly Tribulation.

Did the heavens really not want to see the Gu Family rise?

The heavens were unjust to the Gu Family!

Although he didn't speak, the Red Robe Sage could still see the figure under the Heavenly Tribulation.

It was none other than Gu Changge, the Gu Family's Young Master with mediocre talent.

"Your Gu Family is really cursed."

"A Fifth Grade Ruins Realm cultivator is causing a Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Red Robe Sage's eyes widened in disbelief at the scene!

But at this moment, Gu Haitang had no intention to explain further, just silently watching.

Below them, Dongfang Mingyue, unaware of the presence of the two Sages,

had also noticed the figure standing between the mountains.

Her Sixth Grade Void Refining Realm vision, even from tens of miles away, was clear.

The young man, holding the Xuanhuang Tower, was confronting the Heavenly Tribulation.

"How could it be him!?"

Dongfang Mingyue exclaimed in shock, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.

The figure holding the Xuanhuang Tower seemed extraordinary.

But compared to the Heavenly Tribulation, he was still as insignificant as an ant...

Like a small boat that could capsize in the ocean at any moment.

"What exactly is going on..."

"Why would it trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"If this guy is killed by the Tribulation Lightning... how can I, the Sword Immortal, ever surpass him?"

Dongfang Mingyue bit her lip, her brow furrowed, inexplicably worrying for him.

She had yet to take her revenge!

How could he have triggered a Heavenly Tribulation and be on the verge of death beneath it!

But she was powerless to help; a Heavenly Tribulation was beyond her reach, and even beyond the reach of the Dongfang Family Ancestor.

Who would dare to provoke it?

'Boom——'

When the Heavenly Tribulation's momentum built up, a bolt of Tribulation Lightning as thick as an arm instantly struck down!

The entire world was illuminated in bright white, and Dongfang Mingyue instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes.

"Here it comes!"

Gu Changge roared, not underestimating the arm-thick bolt of Tribulation Lightning, and immediately urged the Xuanhuang Tower in his hand with all his might!

The Xuanhuang Tower, upon contact, was directly struck and sent flying, its spiritual essence weakened significantly!

However, most of the force of the bolt was dissipated.

Gu Changge knew he couldn't dodge and braced to meet the bolt with his fist, feeling a numbing sensation in his arm as the electrical charge spread over his body.

Fortunately, the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning didn't injure him; he simply shook off the feeling in his arm.

"Your Gu Family boy..."

"Probably won't make it through."

The Red Robe Sage remarked, as he saw the situation unfold.

Nine bolts were part of the Heavenly Tribulation, and just the first was already so difficult to handle; what about the subsequent bolts that might take his life?

"Daoist Fellow had better keep quiet,"

Gu Haitang said irritably, frowning.

Knowing he was not in the right state of mind, the Red Robe Sage gave a sheepish laugh and said no more.

However, his mind was filled with amazement.

That Gu Family kid, after eighteen years of body refinement, how could he possibly have triggered a Heavenly Tribulation?

Truly bizarre!

"He actually withstood the first bolt without a scratch?"

"Then maybe there's a chance he might survive..."

Seeing this, Dongfang Mingyue's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

'Boom———'

As the second bolt of Tribulation Lightning descended, it was as thick as a thigh!

Its power had at least doubled!

Gu Changge saw that the Xuanhuang Tower hadn't recovered its spiritual essence, and even if he used it, the effect would be greatly reduced, so he stopped holding back.

Despite feeling Dongfang Mingyue's presence, he dared not continue to conceal his abilities.

He immediately brought out his Innate Divine Ability, the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus!

The Golden Lotus hovered above his head, releasing waves of golden Tao Rhythm.

The Tribulation Lightning struck, unable to penetrate the barrier of the Golden Lotus.

He blocked the hit without any harm.

The Origin Power of the Heavenly Tribulation nourished his body.

But Gu Changge gasped in shock.

The Golden Lotus withstood the hit indeed without damage, but it consumed a full thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy!
