Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 436 - 241: The Frustrated Trio, Ready to Propose Marriage!_2

Chapter 436 -241: The Frustrated Trio, Ready to Propose Marriage!_2

He immediately relayed the news back.

“It’s no wonder that I, Sword Immortal, took an interest in this man!”

“Such a record, unprecedented, might also never be surpassed!”

Hearing Elder Hongyi’s account, Dongfang Mingyue’s eyes lit up.

Her handsome face, suffused with pride, made it seem as though she herself had forced back a hundred men with a single step.

“Elder, do you know which Saint Son Peak he intends to challenge?”

“When Lu Xian entered the Mountain Gate, he directly obtained a position at the Sixth Saint Son Peak. Surely he won’t do any worse, right?”

“At the very least, it should be the fifth Saint Son’s position!”

Dongfang Mingyue thought of something and continued to press.

“That young man…”

“Plans to challenge from the Fourth Saint Son to the Sixth Saint Son Peak.”

Dongfang Hongyi spoke with a hint of uncertainty.

“What!?”

“What was the result?”

Dongfang Mingyue was also taken aback. The Saint Sons of these three peaks were all in the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.

Their strength was even a notch stronger than most in the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!

Among their peers in the Sword Sect, their talent stood among the very top!

“The news hasn’t come back yet.”

Dongfang Hongyi shook his head, curious as well about how this young man from the Gu Family had fared and how long he had managed to hold out.

Just as he was thinking, the Communication Jade Talisman in his hand emitted a faint glow.

He glanced at it and, feeling doubtful, rubbed his eyes and looked again.

“This…”

“Must there be some mistake in the news…” Dongfang Hongyi murmured incredulously.

“Is the result out?”

“Let me, Sword Immortal, take a look quickly!”

Seeing his expression, Dongfang Mingyue felt puzzled and curious.

Driven by curiosity, she grabbed the Communication Jade Talisman.

It carried only a brief message:

“[In less than a breath, Gu Changge struck down three Saint Sons with a single sword thrust, and now he holds the position of Fourth Saint Son.]”

Reading this short message, Dongfang Mingyue felt like her head was about to explode.

She had anticipated a tough fight, thinking that even if he were defeated, it wouldn’t matter.

After all, he had just broken through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, and taking on three at once across two great realms was already no small feat.

But what was the result?

Sealing their throats with a single sword in less than a breath’s time?

“This…”

For a moment, Dongfang Mingyue barely believed it.

No wonder Elder Hongyi had that ghost-seen expression.

“This kid… is too defying.”

Dongfang Hongyi took a deep breath, still immersed in the profound information that single sentence implied.

Back in the Northern Domain, when he had personally witnessed Gu Changge traversing a tribulation, even mocking the Heavenly Tribulation, he felt this kid was a monster.

And now, it seemed, truly a monster!

Unbelievable, a Seventh Grade of the Unlimited Realm, instantly defeating three Ninth Grade Saint Sons.

Except for that young man from the Gu Family, probably no one under the heavens could manage this!

Including the current First Saint Son Peak’s Lu Xian True Monarch, who obviously couldn’t handle this at the time, not even when he was in the Eighth-grade of the Heavenly Gate Realm!

“Wait!”

“Since he has successfully challenged the Saint Son’s position.”

“Doesn’t this mean the Ninth Peak automatically goes to the Eighth Saint Son?”

“And the Eighth Saint Son… is in the early stage of the Heavenly Gate Realm.”

“Does this mean that I, Sword Immortal, no longer have a chance to challenge?”

Amidst her shock, Dongfang Mingyue suddenly slapped her forehead, realizing a severe issue.

She had originally planned to try for the Ninth Saint Son Peak once she broke through the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm!

But now…

That plan seemed unworkable!

She lacked the ability to challenge across a great realm…

While she could challenge across one great realm against ordinary cultivators, isn’t every Saint Son capable of that?

Their true combat power far surpassed those in the same realm!

“Compared to that kid… this isn’t even worth mentioning.”

Dongfang Hongyi’s mouth twitched, dumbfounded by her line of thought.

“I must report this matter to the Ancestor.”

Without lingering further, he headed directly to the valley in the Back Mountain of the Dongfang Family, planning to report this news to the Ancestor.

“Not right, there’s another thing!”

Dongfang Mingyue frowned, troubled by the thought of losing her chance at the Saint Son position.

Suddenly, she slapped her head again, remembering another matter.

Didn’t he say that he would come to propose once he was in Central State? When will that be?

With this thought, she outright took out the Communication Jade Talisman.

But after hesitating for a moment, she slid the Communication Jade Talisman back into her waistband.

She wanted to see if he would remember her without needing reminders!

Surely, becoming the Saint Heir of the Sword Sect wouldn’t make him forget her, right?

Regardless, his bold move to challenge three Saint Heirs simultaneously had earned Dongfang Mingyue’s respect.

So strong!

[Sword Sect Forbidden Land]

Gu Changge, accompanied by Little Hanhan, approached the layered arrays.

Before he could speak, his vision blurred, and he was transferred to a valley.

“You really made quite a splash today,” Ye Qing said with a chuckle upon seeing him.

“Basic operations,” Gu Changge replied with a slight smile and bowed slightly.

Facing such a Great Power from the Land Immortal Realm, Yuan Youbai timidly hid behind Lord Jun, peeking out cautiously at Ye Qing.

“Little fellow, why are you so afraid of me?”

“Speaking of which, I still need to take a trip to the Endless Sea to take care of some trouble for you.”

Ye Qing chuckled and, out of nowhere, produced a Spirit Fruit and handed it over.

This little one is interesting.

On the flying boat, seeing him, he wasn’t scared at all.

Now that he knew of his realm and identity, he started to become timid.

Yet, looking at the Spirit Fruit offered, Yuan Youbai didn’t dare to accept it this time; he swallowed and stared longingly without reaching out.

“Take it, the gift bestowed by your teacher should just be accepted.”

Gu Changge said with a light chuckle.

Encouraged by his words, Little Hanhan’s eyes brightened, and he accepted the Spirit Fruit with both hands, whispering, “Thank you…”

Each Spirit Fruit given by this senior was of Heaven Rank, which was greatly nourishing for her.

“You shall cultivate here these days.”

“I will prepare for a bit, then go to the Endless Sea.”

Ye Qing, watching the little one nibble on the Spirit Fruit, spoke casually.

He certainly wouldn’t go back on his promise to Gu Changge.

“Thank you for your trouble, teacher.”

Gu Changge bowed slightly.

Under his guidance, he found a cave nearby and began to cultivate in the lotus position.

This place, connected to several Spirit Veins, had a concentration of Spiritual Energy that ranked among the top throughout the entire Sword Sect!

Cultivating here, a day truly was worth several times more than in the Northern Domain!

The density of the Spiritual Energy here was dozens, even nearly a hundred times higher than in the Northern Domain!

However, the speed of cultivation improvement wasn’t as astonishing.

Even so, it had already exceeded Gu Changge’s original expectations.

“Cultivating in such a Blessed Land Cave Heaven, in three years’ time, I might even have a chance to attempt breaking into the Sage Realm!”

After cycling his Cultivation Technique for one complete Circulation, Gu Changge couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

At least three years here should suffice for him to reach the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.

As for the Sage Realm, perhaps he might give it a try!

“Once I’ve handled all matters here at the Sword Sect and the Saint Peak is made available, it’s time to visit the Dongfang Family to propose for a marriage.

“Besides…”

“It seems there’s also a Ninth Grade predecessor from the Gu Family in the Sword Sect, though I don’t know where they are now.”

Gu Changge shook his head to clear these thoughts and again immersed himself in deep cultivation.

…

In a blink, three days had passed.

Xu Qiufeng was very punctual and had packed up all his belongings within three days.

The Fourth Saint Son Peak was vacated.

After Gu Changge finished his cultivation, he silently checked his status panel:

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 1061]

[Comprehension: 992]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Heavenly Cold Technique, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Technique, Purple Qi Eastward Technique.]

[Realm: Infinite Realm·Early Stage (19/100)]

[Divine Skills: listed…]

[Talent: Transcendence, Protection, Taoist Pupil, Fatian Xiangdi, Hidden Breath, Dragon Flame]

[Attribute Points: 37.2 million..]

“My wives haven’t finished refining the Elixir, otherwise the Root Bone Comprehension could have increased further.”

“Just waiting to propose to the Dongfang Family, I might find a suitable opportunity to feed them some Elixirs…”

He was quite satisfied with his progress in the Realm section.

However, now including Yuan Youbai, their Root Bone Comprehension had reached above three hundred, and each point increase needed an Elixir costing twenty thousand Attribute Points!

As for Dongfang Mingyue, her Root Bone Comprehension was still just over a hundred.

Feeding her, an Elixir only costs two hundred Attribute Points!

Allowing him to use a small amount of Attribute Points for a significant increase in Root Bone Comprehension!

“Rather than picking a day, it’s better to seize the moment; after taking over Saint Son Peak later, I’ll make a trip to the Dongfang Family…”
