Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 456 - 248: Ancestor Goes to the Sword Sect, What if the Wife is a Taoist Body?_2

Chapter 456: Chapter 248: Ancestor Goes to the Sword Sect, What if the Wife is a Taoist Body?_2

Only at this moment did Elder Zhao’s figure appear at the mountain gate.

"My apologies, I was just engaged in a brief cultivation session when I sensed Daoist Fellow Gu’s presence, so I hurried over immediately."

"To have not greeted you from afar is truly a fault of mine."

"However, since Daoist Fellow Gu has arrived, why didn’t you send a message in advance?"

"Brother Jian Chen and I have been waiting for you for quite some time!"

Sage Zhao, with a smile plastered across his face, stepped forward a few paces to greet Gu Haitang and gestured for her to quickly enter the mountain gate.

"Hehe... It turns out to be Daoist Fellow Zhao."

"It seems I have been negligent, no matter, no matter."

Gu Haitang, also smiling, gave a formal Daoist salute, and the two of them entered through the mountain gate side by side.

Upon stepping through the mountain gate, he could distinctly feel that nature’s spiritual energy between heaven and earth was much more abundant!

The Sword Sect’s Mountain Protection Array was constantly drawing in nature’s spiritual energy from all directions, supported by tens of thousands of Spirit Gathering Arrays.

This abundance of nature’s spiritual energy made him feel invigorated throughout his body.

For a moment, his confidence in breaking through to the True Monarch Realm increased significantly.

"Daoist Fellow, are you ready for your visit?"

Sage Zhao’s gaze flickered, probing indirectly.

"I’m willing to give it a try." Gu Haitang responded with a slight smile.

"Ah, I wonder when I will be able to catch up."

"However, if Daoist Fellow succeeds in breaking through to the True Monarch Realm, would you be interested in taking up a nominal position as an Honorary Supreme in the Sword Sect?"

"For others, it might not be so easy to arrange."

"But with the young master’s connection, it should be no problem."

The two chatted as they walked, with Sage Zhao speaking somewhat enviously.

Generally speaking, most who reach the True Monarch Realm already belong to a powerful faction.

The title of Honorary Supreme in the Sword Sect wasn’t something just any True Monarch could hold if they desired; after all, the Sword Sect wasn’t in need of one or two True Monarchs.

Basically, those who become Honorary Supremes are usually elders from the Sword Sect who have broken through to the True Monarch Realm, then set aside their original duties as elders and devoted themselves to cultivation in an attempt to reach even higher realms, taking on the position of Honorary Supreme.

On a regular basis, they could collect the Sect’s salary without any specific duties.

They just needed to act when the Sect needed a True Monarch or when the Sect Master issued some command.

As for the rule that they must act in times of crisis for the Sect...

While there is such a rule, the Sword Sect, being one of the Four Great Sacred Lands and currently the most powerful among them, wasn’t likely to face any crisis that would invoke this rule.

"This Honorary Supreme..."

After hearing this, Gu Haitang also felt a stirring of interest.

"Rest assured, I understand your concerns. Once you break through to the True Monarch Realm, you will surely find a way to lead the main line of the Gu Family into Central State."

"Becoming an Honorary Supreme, the Sect will not impose any restrictions on your daily life."

"On the contrary, the title of Honorary Supreme from the Sword Sect will make it much more convenient for you to act in Central State."

"Even if the Gu Family faces difficulties, it would be both reasonable and proper for the Sword Sect to lend a hand."

"No need to hurry, Daoist Fellow. Once you break through to the True Monarch Realm, if you have such intentions, I could certainly make some moves on your behalf."

"I imagine it won’t be a problem."

Sage Zhao, noticing his concerns, immediately spoke to put his mind at ease.

"Speaking of which, how is that young fellow doing now?"

Hearing him say this, Gu Haitang had a rough idea in mind and casually inquired about Gu Changge’s situation.

"Hehe, Daoist Fellow Gu, you’ve now touched upon a crucial point!"

"Let me tell you, ever since the young master arrived at the Sword Sect..."

Zhao Hai seemed to have been waiting for a long time and finally found the opportunity to speak.

He began to talk nonstop about the events that had occurred since the young master’s arrival at the Sword Sect.

The story was so vividly told that even seeing it firsthand might not be as impressive as his narration...

Listening to this, Gu Haitang, as the ancestor of the Gu Family, was truly taken aback.

All he could do was nod in shock and click his tongue in amazement.

"Forcing back countless geniuses of the Sword Sect in a single move, cutting down three Ninth Grade adversaries with a Seventh Grade technique, overpowering a Ninth Grade until they submitted..."

Gu Haitang murmured softly, his gaze burning with excitement.

This was the younger generation of his Gu Family, his Gu Family’s fine young men!

Each accomplishment, alone, could shock all the geniuses in Central State, making them feel out of reach.

"This place is the Fourth Saint Son Peak."

"It is also the Saint Son Peak to which the young master currently belongs."

As they spoke, the two had arrived before the Fourth Saint Son Peak.

Gazing at that towering peak piercing the clouds, with even the surrounding mist transformed from spiritual energy, Gu Haitang couldn’t help but click his tongue again.

Such a Blessed Land Cave Heaven for cultivation would surely make the young man’s breakthrough speed even more frightening!

After ascending the Saint Son Peak with Sage Zhao, Gu Haitang immediately began to look around.

However, he didn’t sense Gu Changge’s presence.

Instead, he detected the Gu Family’s younger generation, Gu Qianjun and Gu Changming, who were in the midst of cultivation, as well as the Old Blind Man who was in seclusion adjusting his state, and who might attempt to break through to the Sage Realm at any time.

"Daoist Fellow, no need to search."

"The young master doesn’t reside on this Saint Son Peak."

"The Sect has already constructed a palace for him in the Sword Mountain Forbidden Area."

"That’s a place where the Supreme Elders go into seclusion, and even we elders cannot step inside without the permission of the Supreme Elders."

"Tsk tsk, everything there is built to the standards of the First Saint Son Peak, much better than this Fourth Saint Son Peak!"

Reading his thoughts, Sage Zhao Hai promptly explained.

"I see."

Gu Haitang nodded slightly, thinking to himself that this young fellow always stood out wherever he went, even receiving special treatment from the Sword Sect!

"Brother Jian Chen also has matters to attend to."

"For now, Daoist Fellow, please rest here for a bit."

"Come evening, I’ll call Brother Jian Chen, and we can have a few drinks together."

"I have matters to attend to myself and can’t leave for too long."
