Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 333 - 206: Scaring Wu Jiang Silly, Angering the Northern Domain Emperor to Faint!_3
Chapter 333 -206: Scaring Wu Jiang Silly, Angering the Northern Domain Emperor to Faint!_3
The elder seated in meditation inside the cave dwelling could only snort disdainfully, “Just because they’re at the Extreme of the Taoist Body, does that mean I must take them in?”
Although he said so, he still focused calmly, his Divine Soul attempting to peer into the secrets of heaven, wanting to understand just what kind of genius the Extreme Dao Body in the Northern Domain was.
But in the end, what the secrets of heaven revealed left him somewhat baffled…
First, a Golden Lotus blossomed, with a Golden Body seated upon it.
Then abruptly, a bell tolled, causing him to feel his Divine Soul nearly destabilize, hastily pulling out from the divine state of peering into the secrets of heaven.
Even at the very last moment, he vaguely saw the Golden Body open its eyes as if it intended to strike out at his Divine Soul…
He had a premonition, that had he not withdrawn his Divine Soul swiftly, he might have been harmed!
“So mysterious…”
The elder’s eyes bulged in disbelief.
But he dared not attempt to peer into the secrets of heaven any further.
Only, a bit of curiosity rose in his heart; after all, that person would be coming to Central State in a year’s time. He decided not to exhaust himself any further and closed his eyes to resume Cultivation.
…
[Dongfang Family]
Compared to those Holy Lands, the Dongfang Family had some rejoicing and some worrying.
Upon hearing that Young Master Gu of the Gu Family, the one with the Extreme of the Taoist Body, was directly accepted by the Sword Sect according to the standards of the First Saint Son Peak,
the Great Elder, along with those who supported him, all had grim expressions.
“How could this be…”
“Does the Northern Domain also have such a prodigy?”
“Did she know about this long before?”
Several Elders of the Dongfang Family gathered together, unavoidably worried.
Originally, they all thought that Dongfang Ming Yue merely didn’t want to give up the family power and had deliberately chosen a Daoist Couple at random, using the family rules to vie for the family’s power.
But now, it seemed not the case!
That Gu Family kid, he was no simple matter!
The treatment of the First Saint Son of the Sword Sect was a bit too heaven-defying.
Even the current First Saint Son had reached that position through his own strength, step by step!
Yet that fellow from the Northern Domain, even before arriving in Central State, already had it?
However, for now, he merely had the position without actual authority. At least until he demonstrated sufficient strength, he did not pose any threat.
…
Dongfang Hongyi, still dressed in a crimson robe, brought the news to Ming Yue right away.
Then he stared at her, wanting to see a shocked expression on her face.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Ming Yue merely smiled faintly, without any surprise.
“Aren’t you surprised?” Dongfang Hongyi said in astonishment.
Dongfang Ming Yue looked at him strangely before replying, “Why should ‘I’ be surprised?”
“The consort ‘I’ have chosen is naturally the best in the world. Doing such things is nothing surprising.”
“Believe me, when he arrives at Central State, he will shock even more people!”
The confident demeanor Dongfang Ming Yue showed left Dongfang Hongyi scratching his head in perplexity.
He knew of the other party’s extraordinary talent, but he was still startled by the news, even going first to inform that Moon Unification True Monarch Ancestor.
He didn’t expect the girl to be unsurprised…
After he left, Dongfang Ming Yue looked at the Communication Jade Token in her hand and pouted, “This guy, hasn’t sent a message to ‘me’ in so long; he couldn’t have forgotten about ‘me,’ could he?”
“If you don’t send one, ‘I’ won’t either!”

Despite really wanting to talk to him, Dongfang Ming Yue’s stubbornness kicked in. She glanced at the Communication Jade Token from time to time, but still didn’t initiate contact.

[Northern Territory]
[Heavenly Cold Sect]
Wan Shan Taoist remained in a daze even after sending off the Gu Family Elder from the Heavenly Gate Realm who had personally come to deliver the invitation.
“The position of Sword Sect’s Saint Son in Central State…”
“The Gu Family, this time it really can’t be stopped.”
“Fortunately, Qingqing has a good relationship with him. Even if the Gu Family rises, they won’t target our Heavenly Cold Sect…”
Wan Shan Taoist murmured softly as he looked at the invitation in his hand.
However, Qingqing was still in seclusion; once she emerged, he would tell her the news.
Then, in a month’s time, they would head to the Gu Family’s banquet.
Whether he, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Cold Sect, attended or not wasn’t vital, but Liu Qingqing certainly must.
[Northern Territory Imperial City]
At this moment, Gu Liang, the Fifth Elder of the Gu Family, had personally traveled to the Imperial City.
After being escorted, he met the Emperor of the Northern Territory.
“Your Majesty, this is the invitation from my Gu Family. A month from now, a three-day banquet will be held in Qingzhou.”
As Gu Liang spoke, he went to present the invitation, but the General by his side took it instead, offering it to the Emperor.
“Is there anything else?”
The Emperor of the Northern Territory asked Gu Liang expressionlessly.
“Hehe, that’s all, then I shall take my leave.”
Initially, Gu Liang wanted to wait to see the Emperor of the Northern Territory lose his composure, but since he said such, Gu Liang could only leave.
After Gu Liang left, the Emperor didn’t even look at the invitation.
His expression immediately darkened!
He had received the news before the invitation had even arrived!
“How could this be!”
“For the past eighteen years, wasn’t that boy said to be a waste?”
“How did a waste change overnight into the Extreme of the Taoist Body, fought over by the Four Great Sacred Lands, and even granted the position of Saint Heir!”
“You’re the waste, not him!”
The Emperor of the Northern Territory looked at the Shadow Guard General who offered the invitation, barely restraining his anger from killing him on the spot.
The greatest use of the Shadow Guard was to help him gather intelligence from various forces.
Yet he only found out about the Gu Family Young Master’s Talent of Tao Body after it was discovered by the Holy Lands!
If the Shadow Guard had discovered it earlier, he could have strangled the boy in his cradle.
Now… it was too late!
The boy had already been accepted into the Sword Sect, holding the position of Saint Son. For him to touch the boy now would be seeking death!
But if he ignored it, how could he achieve his grand ambitions?
The Gu Family was going to be unstoppable!
All his plans were going to fall apart…
All because of Gu Changge…
He had managed, with great effort, to send Crown Prince Wang Xing to the Holy Land in Central State, hoping he could foster some connections with the Central State forces.
But now with the Gu Family Young Master becoming the Sword Sect’s Saint Son, how dare those Central State forces go against the Gu Family?
It was over…
Everything was too late!
The Emperor of the Northern Territory felt like his head was about to explode, his vision starting to blur.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”
The Shadow Guard General by the side watched in horror as the Emperor suddenly collapsed atop the throne, overwhelmed with shock.
