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

"Since the Ancestor has decided, then there should be no problem."

Gu Changge nodded slightly after listening. He had no intention of involving himself too much in the migration to the Central State.

It was all troublesome matters—he simply needed to ensure that everything related to the Sword Sect was properly arranged.

"Young Master being satisfied is good."

"Right, the Ancestor said that after you come out of retreat, if there's nothing else, go to the Back Mountain to find the Ancestor."

"We dare not ask too much about the specifics."

The Elder, hearing that the Young Master had no objections, continued with a bowed hand.

"Understood."

Gu Changge nodded slightly. Since the Ancestor had passed the word, he did not delay and went directly to the Back Mountain.

In no time, he found himself on the familiar path.

Looking at the mazes, Gu Changge couldn't help but feel emotional. In the past, he needed the Ancestor's permission to help clear a path through the maze for him.

But now, these mazes were virtually non-existent to him.

Without needing to activate his Taoist Pupil, like a stroll in the mountains, he passed through the layers of arrays.

Until he arrived under the pavilion as before.

The Ancestor was seated quietly by the pond, as always.

"Ancestor," Gu Changge approached and bowed slightly.

"Still so formal..."

"You, my boy, now have an extraordinary status, and there really is no need for all this."

"People seeing this might find it inappropriate."

The Gu Family Ancestor waved his hand, put down his fishing rod, and turned to look at him.

"This..."

"The necessary propriety must not be abandoned."

"Changge, whether you are now the Sword Sect's Saint or even if you break through to the Land Immortal Realm or reach the day of your Ascension, before the Ancestor, you are still a junior."

Gu Changge shook his head slightly.

"Well, just follow your heart."

Hearing his words, although the Gu Family Ancestor said nothing, his heart was extremely pleased.

His own descendant achieving so much made him incredibly proud and boastful.

What was key was that he still understood propriety and hadn't forgotten his original intentions despite possessing such tremendous power and status.

Excellent... exceptionally rare.

Sitting in the pavilion, the Gu Family Ancestor poured two cups of tea, signaling him to sit opposite him.

"I wonder, Ancestor, for what matter have you called me here?"

Seeing the Ancestor with a hesitant expression, Gu Changge directly asked.

"With the Origin Power you currently possess, is it enough to turn a Spiritual Body into a Talent of Dao Body?"

The Gu Family Ancestor took a deep breath and asked seriously.

"To turn a Spiritual Body into a Talent of Dao Body, that would indeed be enough."

Gu Changge nodded in response.

He now held over a hundred million Attribute Points.

Even after a hundredfold reduction in effect,

to transform an Acquired Spiritual Body into the Talent of Dao Body would only require at most twenty million Attribute Points!

Although not a small amount, it was still feasible for him.

"To be frank, since my Gu Family is planning to migrate to Central State,"

"this ancestral ground really doesn't need those two old fellows to keep guarding it any longer."

"Their Lifespan is not much, each probably has only about three to five years left."

"One of them is almost at the Sage Realm Perfection, similar to me. If he could be transformed into the Talent of Dao Body, perhaps he could induce the Heavenly Tribulation. Then, by using the Sword Sect Array, and with your help in dispersing the influence of the Magic Treasure's Tribulation Lightning,"

"he could break through to the True Monarch Realm. Then, my Gu Family could have two True Monarchs!"

"As for the other person..."

"That old ghost is already in the Early Stage of the True Monarch Realm, but his situation is special, probably unable to extend his life through breakthrough."

"And he likely doesn't have the ability to induce Heavenly Tribulation anymore. Originally, the plan was to wait a few more years, then use his life to severely weaken the Northern Domain Royal Family, securing peace for our Gu Family!"

"Now... the Northern Domain Royal Family is no longer a concern."

"I intend to awaken both of them. If possible, let one break through to the True Monarch Realm."

"As for the one who is already at the True Monarch Realm..."

As the Gu Family Ancestor spoke up to this point, his gaze turned somewhat tangled and hesitant.

Hearing this, Gu Changge's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he slightly opened his mouth.

He didn't dare to say it himself, but he believed that what the Ancestor intended to say was for him to accompany that Gu Family True Monarch on his final journey...

Transforming him into his Origin!

"This..."

"Perhaps, first make one of them possess the talent of a Taoist Body, allowing him to break through to the True Monarch Realm."

"As for the other Ancestor, let him continue to slumber... who knows, there might still be a chance in the future?"

Gu Changge felt the Ancestor's gaze on him, and after a long pause, he hesitated slightly.

Although he wanted to earn Attribute Points, he wasn't desperate enough to kill his own ancestor for them!

"No, he has no chance."

"You'll see in a moment."

Gu Haitang shook his head, and making this decision was also extremely difficult for him, but it was the only way.

During their conversation, he finished his tea and took the lead towards the depths of the Back Mountain.

Gu Changge hurriedly followed him.

In no time, three black coffins appeared in front of him.

"This black coffin was originally prepared for myself, as I originally had no chance of breaking through to the True Monarch Realm. After living carefree for three or four thousand years, I would have had to rely on this black coffin to extend my life and continue to protect the Gu Family."

"This black coffin belongs to one at the Perfect Sage Realm."

"The one lying in this other coffin... is our Gu Family's True Monarch Realm."

The Gu Family Ancestor casually pointed at the three black coffins, introducing them to Gu Changge.

Especially when pointing to the third coffin, the Gu Family Ancestor said with some helplessness, "You can see his condition, can't you?"

"Vitality has accumulated... lifespan is dwindling."

Gu Changge nodded slightly, responding softly.

Although separated by the coffin, with his Divine Soul, it wasn't difficult to examine the situation.

This ancestor's situation was entirely different from the old man's.

His Essence Blood hadn't dried up; he was simply at the end of his lifespan!

Even if he were given the talent of a Taoist Body, it couldn't save him as his lifespan would not be replenished.

And his Spiritual Energy was also showing signs of decline, naturally unable to break through the realm to replenish his lifespan.

According to the Ancestor, his original fate should have been to seriously damage the Northern Domain Royal Family!

But now, there's no need.

"So..." the Gu Family Ancestor looked at Gu Changge, finding it hard to continue.

"Changge feels it's still not appropriate."

"Why not wait a bit longer? Perhaps, once I break through to the Sage Realm, or even to the True Monarch Realm, I might have a chance to help this ancestor avoid his current predicament."

Gu Changge shook his head, still unable to make this decision.

"Moreover, if it comes to that step, we should also ask for this ancestor's opinion..."

During their conversation, the two black coffins suddenly opened, and the persons inside slowly opened their eyes and sat up.

Creaking and cracking, it seemed they'd lain too long, their joints continuously making noises.

Both figures looked at Gu Changge, their eyes curious.

Gu Changge looked at the two, silently bowing in salute, "This junior pays respect to the two ancestors."

"In their twenties, at the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, tsk tsk... My Gu Family has really produced a heaven-defying talent."

The ancestor at the Perfect Sage Realm looked at Gu Changge with some excitement and praised him.

"It seems this youngster chose not to take action."

The elder at the early stage of the True Monarch Realm, looking very thin, almost skin and bones, emitted a genuine True Monarch Realm aura, capable of destroying heaven and earth with a wave of his hand!

"Kid, he already told me last time."

"You can kill creatures to gain Life Origin for your own use."

"I have already agreed to his view."

"There's no need to hesitate, I've lived long enough, and daily sleeping in this black coffin, it's better to die and be free."

"After all, my Gu Family has a True Monarch Realm powerhouse and the standing in the Central State."

"Consider it my gift to you, kid, why not?"

The thin elder looked at Gu Changge with a calm gaze and said.

"To be honest... if only the ancestor could wait a bit longer, I might be able to give the ancestor another lifetime, another step forward."

"It's really not necessary."

Gu Changge helplessly shook his head.

"It's like wanting to die is not allowed..."

"Forget it, do as you please, kid. I'm going back to sleep. If one day you change your mind, just kill me anytime you want. I will not fight back as soon as I sense your aura, but you have to use that Immortal Grade Flying Sword, don't let me suffer."

The Gu Family's True Monarch Realm ancestor seemed to have no intention of clinging to life, shook his head, and laid back directly into the black coffin, no longer continuing to drain his scant lifespan.

Leaving Gu Changge with a face full of helplessness.

"Having said all this, follow your heart."

"Rest assured, no one will think there's anything wrong."

"If you don't want to act today, another day is also fine."

Gu Haitang, with a bitter smile, looked at the black coffin somewhat helplessly. This ancestor had lived even longer than him, but now he completely lacked the will to live, might as well let this youngster gain a bit of Life Origin to help him grow faster!
