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

Gu Changge had his wife prepare for a moment while he himself went to the Council Hall to inform the Family Head, Gu Zhan, of the matter.

"You're going to the Northern Territory Imperial City?" Upon hearing his destination, Gu Zhan slightly furrowed his brows.

"Then wait a moment, I will call all the Elders who are free from duties..."

Seeing that the Family Head was about to summon the Elders and even prepare a Palace for him,

Gu Changge simply smiled and said, "There's no need for trouble, a quick there and back is fine, there's no need to make a big fuss, it's not like we're going to fight."

"But now that your status is different, you should still have the proper entourage when you go out." Gu Zhan frowned and shook his head.

However, Gu Changge turned around and waved his hand dismissively, "There's no need for trouble, having two Sage Realm Elders from Sword Sect with me is already prestigious enough, besides... I am, after all, the Sword Sect's Saint Heir now, just this title is enough!"

Taking advantage of Gu Zhan being stunned, he had already left.

"..."

Gu Zhan watched his departing figure, silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed...

This boy is now not only renowned in the Northern Domain but perhaps already famous throughout the Four Domains of Central State.

He needs no external pomp; wherever he goes, he is the most dazzling presence.

The title of Sword Sect's Saint Heir, no one in the Northern Domain would dare to provoke it.

Even the Northern Domain Royal Family would likely have to treat him well now.

The Imperial Family, just like his Gu Family, truly held great power in the Northern Domain, yet in front of a behemoth like Sword Sect, they had absolutely no power to resist.

Unbeknownst to him, he had reached a level that even he could only look up to.

No... it should be said that the entire Northern Domain could only look up to him.

Having two Sage Realm Elders from the Sword Sect by his side was enough for him to have no fears in the Northern Domain.

...

Not long after.

Gu Changge and his party had already arrived outside the Gu Family Mansion.

Many Gu Family Disciples, hearing that the Young Master was going to the Imperial City, gathered excitedly in front of the Mansion and discussed animatedly:

"Is the Young Master planning to make a move on the Imperial City!?"

"I think even the Northern Territory Emperor would tremble at the sight of the Young Master!"

"Isn't that so? The Young Master is now the Sword Sect's Saint Heir, even the Northern Territory Emperor would probably have to pay his respects, right?"

"That scene, just thinking about it is thrilling."

In the crowd, Gu Changming silently watched his cousin's back, somewhat spellbound.

The gap between himself and his cousin was like heaven and earth.

Currently, he didn't even qualify to venture to Duanbei City for trials, still only able to cultivate at the Gu Family.

But his cousin, already considered the foremost person in the Northern Domain.

Although not the strongest in terms of power, his influence was absolutely something that no one in the Northern Domain dared to provoke.

"Not bad at all, already at the late stage of Qi Sea Realm."

Gu Changge noticed his cousin in the crowd and his eyes lit up as he spoke.

"I'm not even half as good as my cousin..."

Suddenly noticed by his cousin, Gu Changming was also startled and gave a wry smile.

"No worries, slow and steady wins the race."

"Speaking of which..."

"Have you considered cultivating at a Holy Land?"

"They say a day of cultivation in the Holy Land is equivalent to more than ten days in the Northern Domain."

Gu Changge casually said with a chuckle.

"Holy Land?" Gu Changming, hearing his cousin's words, was completely stunned as he had never even dared to think about it.

But seeing his cousin's serious expression, he could only earnestly reply, "I'd like to! But... I'm afraid my talents might not be up to standard for the Holy Land."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge slightly turned his head to the two Sword Sect Elders beside him and quietly asked, "If I were to go to the Sword Sect, and bring my cousin with me, giving him the status of an Outer Disciple, that should be easy, right?"

"Of course, no problem." The two Sage Realm individuals from the Sword Sect naturally nodded directly.

"In fact, just at a glance, I feel this young friend is quite exceptional."

"Though his Root Bone is somewhat ordinary, I quite like his character."

"If the Saint Heir agrees, I, Zhao, would be willing to take him on as a Direct Disciple..."

Sage Zhao was even moved by the idea, speaking directly with a kind smile on his face.

This really left Jian Chen dumbfounded.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, thinking that Daoist Fellow Zhao really knew how to seize an opportunity... He really couldn't compare!

"Oh?"

"If that's the case, then I must thank Senior Zhao!"

Hearing Sage Zhao's offer, Gu Changge was also stunned, deeply moved.

Initially, he had thought about securing his cousin a position as an Outer Disciple in the Holy Land to start his cultivation.

But Sage Zhao was now directly willing to take him as a Direct Disciple.

In that moment, Gu Changming was completely dumbfounded.

Gawking at his cousin, he felt totally at a loss.

What was going on now?

A word from his cousin had made him a Direct Disciple of the Sword Sect?

He felt as if he was dreaming.

Suddenly, he received a slap on the back of his head.

It was his father, Gu Yixiao, urging him, "What are you spacing out for, hurry and kowtow to your Master!"

Gu Yixiao hadn't planned to join the excitement; he was merely going to the city to handle some business, but unexpectedly saw his great nephew securing his son a Direct Disciple position in the Sword Sect!

And his clueless son was still dazed, so he couldn't sit still anymore!

This Sword Sect Elder was a being of the same Realm as even the Gu Family Ancestor, a top-tier Great Power normally beyond reach!

To take his son as a disciple was purely based on his great nephew's influence; if they didn't seal the deal quickly, what would happen if they changed their minds?

It would be too late for regrets!

"Disciple Gu Changming, greets Master!"

Gu Changming was suddenly jolted awake, realizing the immense opportunity his cousin had given him, without further hesitation.

He bowed his head to Sage Zhao!

In front of many Gu Family Disciples and the Deacon, he performed the three kowtows and nine prostrations ceremony.

"The ceremony of apprenticeship will be prepared by me afterwards..."
