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

Due to Gu Changge's departure, the Valley Masters of Wan Hua Valley no longer had many other thoughts.

After the competition concluded, under the arrangements of the Sword Sect, they had their disciples stay and cultivate at the Sword Sect to digest the gains from this round of discussions.

In a few days' time, they planned to head back directly.

In a grand hall, several Valley Masters sat on both sides, looking at Su Mei'er in front of them.

"Mei'er, what do you think about that Saint Gu?"

"He seems... unaffected by the Innate Seductive Bone?"

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have left so quickly, not even bothering to strike up a conversation with you."

One of the Sage Realm Valley Masters slightly furrowed her brow and spoke with some uncertainty.

The Valley Masters all nodded slightly, their expressions somewhat surprised.

They had thought that as long as Saint Gu met Mei'er, if not completely transfixed, at least his attention and possessive desires would be piqued.

After all, Su Mei'er possessed the Innate Seductive Bone, which naturally attracted men with every movement.

Even many in the Sage Realm might not be able to resist the charm of the Innate Seductive Bone.

Not to mention that she had even used her Innate Divine Ability, and within her domain, Gu Changge had not been affected at all, which was beyond their imagination.

"He really is different..."

"The Innate Seductive Bone, almost completely ineffective on him."

"I was hoping for a chance to be alone with him, and then remove this hat, but unexpectedly, he didn't give me the chance."

Su Mei'er pursed her lips, her eyes flickering.

Recalling the way Gu Changge looked at her earlier, it truly lacked any lascivious intent.

It was strikingly different from the gazes she usually encountered!

Even those in the Sage Realm would struggle to disregard the Innate Seductive Bone to such an extent.

At least someone in the True Monarch Realm might be able to completely ignore the influence of her Innate Seductive Bone.

"His Divine Soul must have surpassed that of the ordinary Sage Realm and is nearing the strength of a True Monarch Realm Divine Soul."

After a moment of silence, Su Mei'er said with certainty.

When they heard that Gu Changge's Divine Soul was comparable to that of a True Monarch Realm, several Wan Hua Valley Sages were about to object.

But as the words reached their lips, they found themselves at a loss for words.

If it were anyone else, it would be impossible, but Saint Gu... it might not be impossible.

After all, he was a monster who could suppress Ninth Grade with a Seventh Grade, able to refine Tribulation Lightning and breakthrough under the Heavenly Tribulation, showing heaven-defying talents!

Now that he had reached the Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, his strength was even more formidable.

Having a Divine Soul stronger than that of the Sage Realm seemed insignificant compared to his other exploits.

"It's a pity there might be no chance to see him again this time."

"Let's find another opportunity."

Su Mei'er spoke and went back to her room on her own.

Wan Hua Valley no longer needed to instruct her; she herself wanted to find another chance to get close to Gu Changge.

To see if, once she removed this specially restricted hat, he could truly maintain a vacant gaze!

"It's strange indeed..."

"He has four Daoist Couples, so he should not be a man averse to women."

"To have no thoughts about Mei'er at all?"

"Strange indeed, truly strange."

The Valley Masters watched as Su Mei'er entered her room, shaking their heads and murmuring their doubts.

...

[Northern Domain]

First, the Gu Family Ancestor sent Gu Kuang outside Duanbei City.

After some hesitation, he did not return to the Gu Family first but headed straight for Heavenly Cold Sect.

With his current True Monarch Realm strength, it only took about 30 minutes before he was above the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

His unfettered presence immediately attracted many Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect to hastily fly up to greet him.

"A True Monarch Realm..."

"Has the Gu Family Ancestor broken through to the True Monarch Realm!?"

A few of the Elders recognized the identity of the Gu Family Ancestor and their eyes bulged in recognition.

The Gu Family was already a major force in the Northern Domain nowadays, widely recognized as the leading power among the three major forces in the hearts of all factions.

But when they saw the Gu Family Ancestor had broken through to the True Monarch Realm, the Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect suddenly realized something.

The Northern Domain would no longer have what is called the three major forces...

The Gu Family stood alone as a peerless existence!

With a True Monarch Realm Ancestor, whose Lifespan was full, overseeing the family, whether it was the Heavenly Cold Sect or the Northern Domain Royal Family, all were insignificant in comparison to the Gu Family.

Even combined, they definitely had no grounds to compete with the Gu Family!

"We pay our respects to Senior Gu!"

"We are unprepared for your esteemed arrival and deeply apologize!"

"May we inquire as to what brings you to our Sect?"

Among the respectful gazes of many Heavenly Cold Sect Elders, Wan Shan Taoist approached with utmost courtesy to greet him and inquire about his visit.

Even before the breakthrough, the Gu Family Ancestor was a Great Power at the Perfect True Man Realm, and they would be nothing if not respectful.

Now that he had broken through to the True Monarch Realm, any amount of respect would not be considered excessive.

"There's nothing much, is that little miss Saintess of your sect around?"

Gu Haitang gave a casual nod and asked smoothly.

"Qingqing is currently in closed-door cultivation. If Senior Gu has matters with her,"

"I can notify her to come and meet you."

Wan Shan Taoist, hearing that it was about Liu Qingqing, was not surprised.

After all, aside from this, he could not imagine anything else that would merit the attention of the Gu Family Ancestor, now a True Monarch Realm, coming to their sect.

Unless he was about to make a move against Heavenly Cold Sect...

"No need."

"Let that little miss continue her meditative cultivation undisturbed."

"I am here to catch up with your sect's Purple Spirit Saintess."

With a dismissive wave of his hand, Gu Haitang's figure disappeared in front of the Mountain Gate.

When he reappeared, he was already standing within the Cold Pond Forbidden Land of the Heavenly Cold Sect.
