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

When the time comes, the Gu Family will still need sufficient strength to establish a foothold in Central State.

"In short... this is the only thing the Gu Family can do for you right now."

"Anytime is fine."

Seeing that Gu Haitang had made up his mind, Gu Zhan no longer spoke, looking at him with a complex gaze and said.

"If Ancestor has no other matters, Changge will take his leave..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Changge stood up and bowed.

Even after he left the Back Mountain, he still felt somewhat dazed.

Cultivation World is cruel, he had known that long ago.

But he had never thought of acting against the Gu Family nor had he ever considered using the Gu Family as a stepping stone for his growth.

After all, the Gu Family had never once treated him poorly from beginning to end.

Now that he had become the Young Master, his status was different, and the Gu Family's treatment of him was completely different too, but even when he was unable to cultivate, the Gu Family had never withheld anything he was due.

He could not change the thoughts of others, he could only do his best.

If possible, he would have preferred the Gu Family to have one more True Monarch within its ranks, rather than turn them into his Attribute Points.

Attribute Points can be earned anywhere, why earn them from his own family!

Returning to the Young Master Palace, Wang Yue was already waiting for him.

"My lord!" Wang Yue came forward and wrapped her arms around his, but then noticed he was silent.

"I will be in seclusion for two days and will set out for the Imperial City after that."

At this moment, Gu Changge's heart was somewhat unsettled; his recent experiences on the Back Mountain had truly thrown his state of mind into disarray.

"Um..."

Wang Yue, sensing something was off, nodded gently and watched him enter the Seclusion Room.

...

In a flash, three days had passed.

The Gu Family had already made all the necessary preparations.

As Gu Changge emerged from the Seclusion Room, Wang Yue had been waiting for a long time.

The two of them headed to the front of the Council Hall.

On this day, the Gu Family Elders had put aside all their tasks, having gathered in front of the Council Hall.

The younger generation of the Gu Family had also been waiting for a long time.

As Gu Changge arrived, all eyes involuntarily converged on him!

"Greetings to the Young Master!"

Everyone, whether the younger generation of the Gu Family or the generation of Gu Family Elders, bowed and greeted him with a salute as he appeared!

At this moment, the Gu Family was unlike any other clan.

The position of Young Master was exceptional!

Even if the Gu Family Ancestor were present, they would affirm that the position of Young Master surpassed all others.

After all, the Gu Family Elders had even suggested changing his title, but it was he himself who felt casual was fine, and thus he still chose to be called the Young Master.

"In the past looking at the Young Master, one could feel the vast distance between themselves and the Young Master..."

"But now looking at the Young Master, there is no trace of his aura to be detected!"

"To probe the Young Master's position with Divine Sense is to find nothing, yet here he is standing before us in person!"

Some Gu Family Disciples, around the same age as Gu Changge, exclaimed in reverent surprise upon seeing him.

Now, Gu Changge's Realm was that of Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm; they could not detect even a hint of his presence.

As for the even younger ones, their eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing Gu Changge!

"Is this our Gu Family's Young Master?"

"The number one person in the Northern Domain!"

"The undisputed top genius of the Northern Domain!"

"No, not just a genius, but a true, leading powerhouse of the Northern Domain!"

"How great it would be if one day we could be as strong as the Young Master!"

Those teenage Gu Family Disciples, looking at the figure of Gu Changge, were filled with envy and admiration!

"Could you say a few words?"

Gu Zhan whispered to him upon his arrival.

"Cough..."

"In this regard, it might be more suitable for great-grandfather to speak."

Hearing this, Gu Changge coughed lightly and said somewhat ill at ease.

When it came to strength, his own was unparalleled in the Northern Domain and a stifling presence in Central State.

But when it came to speaking, he truly wasn't good at it!

Gu Zhan couldn't help but shake his head with a light chuckle.

This boy's strength had grown powerful, but there were still things he wasn't as good at!

"My friends, today is the Gu Family's grand day for heading to Central State."

"It is the vast opportunity that our Gu Family's Young Master has garnered for you all!"

"And you are the first group heading to Central State."

"I hope everyone, once in Central State, will not neglect their cultivation, not just for yourselves but also for our Gu Family, to carve out a new domain in Central State!"

"The most important thing is not to disgrace the Young Master of the Gu Family!"

"I, the Young Master of the Gu Family, am now the Saint Son of the Sword Sect, the chief Saint Son of the Sword Sect!"

"He's a genius that the entirety of Central State can't match!"

"If anyone disgraces the Young Master in Central State, just roll back to the Northern Domain and don't bother coming forth again!"

Gu Zhan swept his gaze over the crowd, his resounding voice spread across the Gu Family Mansion square.

As his voice died down, the excitement in the eyes of the young disciples in the Gu Family Square was palpable.

They stretched their necks and shouted loudly, "We will not bring shame upon the Young Master!"

The name Gu Changge had become nearly a belief in the hearts of the younger generation of the Gu Family.

In recent years, who from the Gu Family hasn't been talking about the Young Master during their leisurely conversations over meals?

Even more so, when someone mentions they belong to the Gu Family while abroad, others would look up to them.

Who are they really looking up at?

The Gu Family?

Indeed, as one of the three great powers of the Northern Domain, others wouldn't dare to offend them excessively.

But it was truly the Young Master who let the Gu Family stand tall and rise thoroughly!

Now, even the Heavenly Cold Sect and the Northern Domain Royal Family!

Even people from the great powers of the other three domains, when they come to the Northern Domain and hear of the Gu Family, they must be respectful!

"Please, after arriving in Central State, do not slack off."

"For the Gu Family, for yourselves..."

Gu Zhan's voice rose even more.

Many of the young Gu Family disciples also responded with loud voices.

It wasn't until a good while later, perhaps feeling that the mobilization was sufficient, that Gu Zhan stopped.

"Next, once we get to Central State, it's all up to you."

Gu Zhan looked towards Gu Changge with a complicated gaze.

"Don't worry, grandfather, as long as I, Gu Changge, am in Central State for one day, the Gu Family will not be bullied."

Gu Changge nodded slightly.

Many Elders also began to take action at this moment.

They organized those clan members of the first batch heading to Central State towards a special docking area for the Flying Boat in the mansion reserved for the Young Master.

Other clan members, although not able to go this time, looked on with envy but were also incredibly excited in their hearts.

With the Young Master there, going to Central State for cultivation is only a matter of time!

After all, they already had a foothold in Central State!

Soon, the Flying Boat bearing the flag of the Sword Sect and the insignia of the First Saint Son Peak had already taken on board this batch of people from the Gu Family heading to Central State.

Three Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elders, along with nearly fifty other various Gu Family members.

This batch was heading to Central State to establish a foothold and build a residence.

Other people will head there batch by batch afterwards; at the very least, the Gu Family will not abandon these assets of the Northern Domain.

"Young Master!"

On the Flying Boat, many eyes looked towards Gu Changge, saluting excitedly.

They were also looking forward to the future of cultivating in Central State under the Young Master's lead.

"Well, we can't head straight to Central State."

"There is a matter that requires everyone's help to make a show of strength."

Gu Changge cleared his throat in response to everyone's gaze.

"We know!"

"The Young Lady is to become the Empress of the Northern Domain!"

"It is our honor to witness this event alongside the Young Master!"

They didn't even need him to go into detail, as there were young Gu Family disciples shouting excitedly.

Especially seeing the Little Princess of the Northern Domain by the side of the Young Master, how could they not know these rumors?

"In that case, I won't elaborate further."

"To the Northern Territory Imperial City, I invite all to have a drink."

Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled faintly, cupped his hands and bowed his head all around.

Many of the Gu Family disciples, including the Gu Family Elders, hurriedly returned the gesture!

They wouldn't dare accept a salute from the Young Master!

Wang Yue stood quietly by Lord Jun's side, looking at this scene with countless emotions in her heart.

A few years ago, Lord Jun had promised her, and she thought it was just a gamble, but she didn't expect it to come true so soon!

The Gu Family Ancestor did not appear in person; he went straight into the interior cabin of the Flying Boat, as did Ancestor Qingfeng from the Back Mountain.

They are both old fellows already and don't really like appearing in front of these youngsters.

With the Flying Boat activated.

Everyone from the Gu Family bowed their hands in unison towards the Flying Boat: "We respectfully send off the Young Master!"

As the voice fell, the Flying Boat turned into a Tunneling Light and headed straight for the Northern Territory Imperial City!
