Chapter 298: The Northern Domain Emperor Resigns Himself to Fate, Departure!

This day, the time had almost arrived.

The Central State Sword Sect had even prepared in advance to welcome him, the Saint Heir.

Inside the great hall, Liu Qingqing looked at her husband in front of her with eyes full of reluctance.

“Cultivate diligently, and don’t be lazy while I’m at the Sword Sect,”

Gu Changge said with a slight smile, gently ruffling her hair.

Reflecting on the past, when they were at the Gu Family, his wife had urged him not to neglect cultivation, and now, unexpectedly, the roles had reversed.

“Mhm…”

“We agreed, if I don’t see my husband in three years, I will go to Central State to find you.”

Liu Qingqing said, looking down as her husband helped her tidy up her hair.

“Absolutely.”

“If my wife encounters any trouble, just send a message to me.”

Gu Changge nodded solemnly.

This time, by going to the Central State Sword Sect and quietly cultivating for three years, he would surely break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!

And then, it would be time to start arranging for the Gu Family’s move to Central State.

As for Liu Qingqing and Wang Yue, when that time comes, whether they wish to go to Central State’s Holy Land for cultivation or continue to stay in the Northern Domain will be entirely up to their own choices.

“I’m leaving.”

“Aren’t you going to see me off, wife?”

Knowing that the two Elders from the Sword Sect were already waiting in the Flying Boat, Gu Changge didn’t say anymore.

“When you return, no matter when, I will be there to welcome you…”

“Let’s not say goodbye.”

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, speaking in a soft voice.

This chapter is from fantasylibrary.ink

“Really leaving.”

Seeing her reaction, Gu Changge said nothing more, pinched her chin, and leaned in to kiss her.

He then stylishly turned and left the great hall.

Accompanied by Yuan Youbai and Wang Yue, he directly boarded the Flying Boat.

Under the respectful send-off of numerous disciples and Elders from the Heavenly Cold Sect, the Flying Boat turned into a Tunneling Light and departed.

Only then did Liu Qingqing step out of the hall, watching the departing Flying Boat from a distance without wasting too much time feeling sad.

She then went to the Cold Pond to seclude herself for cultivation.

Before her husband left, he had given her an Elixir.

Presumably, its effects would only be better than before!

…

On the Flying Boat, Gu Changge retracted his gaze.

By the time he left, just the Elixirs exchanged for Qingqing had consumed a whole two million Attribute Points!

[Fourth-Grade Root Bone Pill (+50) one, Fourth-Grade Comprehension Pill (+50) one.]

[Total Consumed: Two million Attribute Points]

[Remaining for Host: Six million and seventy-two thousand]

Looking at the record on the panel, Gu Changge couldn’t help but feel emotional—the Root Bone Comprehension of his wives had now reached three hundred, and continuing to increase it would also consume quite a few Attribute Points.

However, compared to using it directly to enhance his own panel, it was far better.

Now his panel value had already exceeded a thousand, and if he used Attribute Points directly for enhancement, even a single point would be an astronomical figure!

“Lord Jun, should we return to the Gu Family first?”

Sage Zhao’s voice interrupted his thoughts.

“No, let’s go to the Northern Territory’s Imperial City first.”

Gu Changge waved his hand and slightly smiled.

As he spoke, he took out a Communication Jade Token from the Space Ring, but this Jade Token wasn’t his own; it belonged to the Wu Jiang Saint at that time.

During this period, he had received quite a few messages about the Northern Territory Emperor!

“Alright!”

Sage Zhao did not ask further and directly maneuvered the Flying Boat towards the direction of the Northern Territory Imperial City.

“My lord, why are we going to the Imperial City?”

Wang Yue looked at him with some confusion.

“The Northern Territory Emperor isn’t planning to hand over the throne to you.”

“We’re naturally going to solve some troubles.”

Having said that, Gu Changge continued, “Don’t worry; after all, he’s your biological father. If things can be resolved peacefully, they definitely will be resolved peacefully.”

“Actually, I don’t feel much for Father Emperor…” Hearing him say this, Wang Yue softly tried to explain.

Although she didn’t know the specifics, she understood that her husband was helping her.

…

Controlled by a Sage from the Sage Realm, the Flying Boat traveled from Wuzhou’s Heavenly Cold Sect and reached the skies above the Imperial City in just one day!

Returning to the Imperial City, Gu Changge no longer felt any novelty.

Once the Flying Boat stabilized above the Imperial Palace, many experts of the Imperial Family hurriedly appeared to greet him.

Inside the palace, the Northern Territory Emperor’s eyelids twitched.

These past few days he had been uneasy, consistently without news about the Wu Jiang Saint.

Now, Gu Changge was visiting again.

He had a bad premonition!

But, after the previous incident, he no longer held his airs high and appeared in the air with others, ready to respectfully welcome the Saint Gu…

“I wonder what brings Saint Gu here?”

An Eighth Grade Old Prince, looking at the figure standing at the head of the Flying Boat, asked respectfully.

“Hehe…”

“I’ve just come to deliver something to Emperor Your Majesty.”

Gu Changge finished speaking, under the puzzled look of the Northern Territory Emperor, directly took out a Communication Jade Talisman and threw it over.

The Northern Territory Emperor frowned slightly, pondering what it meant in his mind.

Giving him a Jade Talisman, was he planning to command him by this after going to Central State?

That’s excessive…

But when he took the Jade Talisman, and slightly activated it with Spiritual Energy, many messages appeared on it.

There were dozens of messages, most of which…

were sent by himself to the Wu Jiang Saint!

“This is…”

The Northern Territory Emperor suddenly narrowed his pupils and instantly understood.

This Jade Talisman belonged to the Wu Jiang Saint!

He hadn’t even seen the Wu Jiang Saint himself before, only the errand-running Elder who accompanied him before.

“Sorry, I didn’t know Your Majesty had a connection with this Wu Jiang Saint before.”

“If I had known earlier, since we are all family, I might have spared him.”

“Alas…”

“It’s truly a pity.”

Gu Changge saw his expression and then lightly laughed and spoke.

However you looked at it, there wasn’t a trace of pity in his demeanor!

“Saint Gu… between me and Saint Wu Jiang, we have never met in person, only communicated via message.”

“Do you have any other matters, Saint Gu?”

By now, the Emperor of the Northern Domain had understood Gu Changge’s purpose for the visit.

He was showing his power…

“There is nothing else, everyone please go back to your affairs.”

“When Wife reaches the Seventh Grade Infinite Realm, I want to see her sitting on that throne.”

“By that time, I’ll personally return from Central State and hope that none of you let me down.”

Gu Changge said with a faint smile, scanning all those present.

Although his Realm was only at the Seventh Grade Infinite Realm, among the many Great Powers present, there were six at the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, and the Emperor of the Northern Domain himself was at the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.

Yet after meeting his gaze, those people involuntarily lowered their eyes.

Just in terms of aura, they were already overpowered by Gu Changge.

This was not just about aura—Gu Changge truly possessed enough strength to suppress everyone here!

When he had achieved Perfection in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, he was able to slay a Ninth Grade cultivator in Central State, and now that he had broken through to the Seventh Grade Infinite Realm, his strength had increased more than tenfold!

Not to mention that both his Root Bone and Comprehension had greatly improved, his strength had long since reached several new levels!

“This is natural.”

The Emperor of the Northern Domain sighed deeply and replied.

This time, he had completely accepted his fate.

The best he could find was the ninth Saint Heir of the Immortal Ascension Sect, but that Saint Heir had already died at Gu Changge’s hands.

Moreover, Gu Changge had found evidence of his collusion with that Saint Heir.

Even if he were to be killed today to directly elevate Wang Yue to the throne, no one could say a word against it, they might even say it was his own fault, a death sought by himself.

The Ancestor would not stand up for him.

Gu Changge had indeed given him a way out, and if he didn’t accept it now, it would be courting death!

“Will Wife stay in the Imperial City, or return to the Gu Family?”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Northern Domain had completely compromised, Gu Changge turned his head and asked Wang Yue.

“Let’s return to the Gu Family…”

“When I break through to the Seventh Grade Infinite Realm, I will wait for my Husband to return and crown me.”

Wang Yue said softly with a slight smile, her eyes shining as she looked at her Husband.

This was her man, Wang Yue…

One man was able to suppress the entire Imperial Family of the Northern Domain, so that no one dared disobey.

Her destiny was completely rewritten!

“That’s fine.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly and saluted the Emperor of the Northern Domain with a fist: “Farewell.”

Having said that, he took Wang Yue by the hand and entered the cabin of the Flying Boat.

The Flying Boat instantly turned into a beam of light and disappeared above the skies of the Imperial Palace.

It was a long time after the Flying Boat had departed before anyone moved, and they all carefully watched the Emperor of the Northern Domain.

“Let’s disperse…”

After a long while, the Emperor of the Northern Domain waved his hand, letting everyone go.

When he was alone and returned to the hall, he collapsed on the throne, as if he had been drained of strength.

The great accomplishments he pursued all his life seemed ultimately unattainable.

There was no way out…

At this moment, he had completely resigned himself.

“Perhaps, this is a good thing for the Imperial Family.”

“It’s just that for me, it is not a good thing.”

The Emperor of the Northern Domain muttered softly…

…

[Gu Family]

When it was known that the Young Master would soon visit the Central State Sword Sect, all Elders immediately stated that they would host a banquet for the Young Master for three days again.

Even Gu Kuang, who opposed extravagance this time, directly agreed with the Elders’ decision to hold a great celebration.

However, it was Gu Changge who finally spoke, indicating that there was no need to invite many forces.

Just to hold a banquet in the Inner Court of the Gu Family for one day was sufficient.

He did not want to make too much of a fuss.

Because of the imminent trip to Central State, Gu Kuang also returned once more from Duanbei City.

He also brought Gu Qianjun back with him, so they could go to the Central State Sword Sect together!

At the banquet, Gu Kuang looked at his grandson, who was the center of attention, and smiled genuinely.

“Sage Jian Chen, this is the disciple I plan to introduce to you.”

“What do you think?”

“If he doesn’t meet your expectations, please don’t force it.”

Gu Changge beckoned to Gu Qianjun because he wasn’t of the Direct Lineage, so he couldn’t sit at the same table with Gu Changge and the Elders.

Noticing the Young Master’s gesture, Gu Qianjun, who was always attentive to him, also hurried over.

As soon as he approached, he heard the Young Master telling the Sage Realm Great Power of the Sword Sect that he wanted to introduce him as a disciple.

For a moment, Gu Qianjun stood there dumbfounded.

“Excellent!”

Sage Jian Chen naturally had no objections, smiling he looked at Gu Qianjun and nodded repeatedly.

This junior, in terms of talent, was indeed somewhat better than the disciple Zhao Hai had taken in.

His Realm was now higher, already at the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm.

It’s just a pity that he wielded a spear, not a sword.

But it didn’t matter!

The Master had spoken, giving him this opportunity, so how could he let it pass?

“What are you hesitating for?”

“Becoming a disciple of Sage Jian Chen, you will be a personally-taught Elder of the Sword Sect, and you can come with me to the Sword Sect.”

Seeing him lost in thought, Gu Changge laughed and spoke to remind him.

“This…”

“I, your subordinate…”

Gu Qianjun stuttered, his mind seemed to have crashed, unable to speak a complete sentence.

How did he deserve to be personally taught by a Sword Sect Elder?

Happiness came too suddenly, and he could only look towards the second Elder, Gu Kuang.

Gu Kuang couldn’t help but curse: “Are you stupid? Go ahead and kowtow to Daoist Fellow Jian Chen.”

With the second Elder’s words, Gu Qianjun hesitated no more and performed the ceremony of three prostrations and nine kowtows to Sage Jian Chen.

“Disciple Gu Qianjun, greets Master!”

Many of the Gu Family Disciples present couldn’t hide their envy.

The Young Master had merely spoken a word, and previously, he had managed to secure a personal teaching qualification for Gu Changming.

Now, a simple sentence had made Gu Qianjun from the side branch become a direct disciple of the Elder!

This qualification, if not for the Young Master, even if the Gu Family wanted to obtain it, they probably would have to pay a great price and beg everyone!

“Good, good…”

Jian Chen started to help him up, then said with a troubled face, “Unfortunately, I didn’t bring anything this time, I can only make it up to you with a disciple welcoming gift when we return to the Sword Sect.”

“Just sit beside Senior Jian Chen.”

“It will also let Senior Jian Chen understand your situation better.”

Gu Changge said with a slight smile upon seeing this.

Although under normal circumstances, someone from the side branch definitely couldn’t sit at this table, after all, everyone at this table were Gu Family Elders, even the Deacon had no qualification.

But since he had spoken, naturally no one could say a word of disagreement.

Moreover, Gu Qianjun now had the status of a direct disciple of a Sword Sect Elder, which was quite different.

“So nice…”

Gu Kuang watched this scene and couldn’t help but raise his wine bowl and drink it all in one gulp.

Watching his eldest grandson being constantly toasted, he chuckled.

Trying to attract as little attention as possible, he then left his seat without a trace.

Before long, he arrived at Gu Changge’s separate courtyard.

Looking at the fruit tree in the courtyard, he couldn’t help raise his hand and gently touch it.

“The child has avenged you…”

“Changge, that child, has grown to a point where he no longer needs my help.”

“I’m old now, I can’t help him much.”

“Everything’s fine, you don’t need to worry anymore.”

Gu Kuang sat under the tree, leaning against it and murmured.

While talking, he raised his wine gourd to his mouth, took a sip, and then sprinkled some under the tree.

“Try this, this is from the Treasure Vault that Changge took out, even I couldn’t drink it in the past.”

“Hehe…”

Moments later, he took out Wu Jiang Saint’s body from the Space Ring.

With a flick of his finger, he used Spiritual Energy to condense a Spiritual Fire.

With a flick of his finger, the Spiritual Fire fell onto the corpse.

Before long, the body of Wu Jiang Saint turned to ashes and fell under this tree, becoming fertilizer and nutrients.

Originally he hadn’t buried his son and daughter-in-law in the Gu Family ancestral grave, mainly because he didn’t have the chance.

That Wu Jiang Saint had turned the two of them into ashes.

Under this fruit tree, were buried only their clothing and Magic Treasures…

“Vengeance is complete, I might go to Central State next, and try to break through the Ninth Grade Realm.”

“Though I can’t help my grandson much, I don’t want to hold him back.”

“Someday, the Gu Family will definitely head to Central State because of my grandson, then I can also contribute.”

“Ah, my grandson’s strength now, to be able to slay the Ninth Grade, is much stronger than I ever was, even stronger than you, my boy!”

Gu Kuang watched the ashes fall at the base of the tree, feeling empty inside for a moment.

But thinking of his grandson, he regained his motivation.

Just as he was murmuring, a figure silently appeared in the courtyard.

Gu Changge naturally noticed that the old man had left the table, and after a Divine Sense inspection, he followed.

“My grandson…”

Gu Kuang quickly raised his hand to wipe his face.

He smiled and waved at his grandson.

“It’s time to go, kowtow to your father and mother.”

Gu Changge walked up to the tree, and although there was not much emotion, they were still his parents after all.

Gu Kuang stood up and moved to the side, silently watching his grandson kowtow three times.

Then he came forward and patted off the non-existent dust on his grandson’s leg.

“Good child…”

“Once you’re in Central State, prioritize your own safety above all.”

“If you really encounter something beyond your power, just come back.”

“I will always be waiting for you at the Gu Family, the Gu Family is always your backing.”

Gu Kuang watched his grandson, now grown into a towering giant tree, yet still couldn’t help but speak.

“Got it, I understand.”

Gu Changge nodded, then smiled, “I value my life very much, you didn’t need to tell me, I would definitely do that.”

“Hahaha!”

“Good, then I’m reassured.”

Hearing his grandson’s words, the original sadness in Gu Kuang’s heart instantly disappeared, and he laughed and patted his shoulder.

“Care to join me for a good drink today?”

Gu Kuang raised his eyebrow and tested.

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking.” Gu Changge gestured towards the pavilion.

“Great!”

“Too bad, this Spiritual Wine probably isn’t enough.” Gu Kuang, excited that his grandson wanted to have a hearty drink with him today, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed as he shook the gourd in his hand.

However, Gu Changge directly waved his hand and instantly dozens of wine jars appeared in the courtyard.

“Taken from the Treasure Vault, it should be enough.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly, he had come prepared with Spiritual Wine.

“You kid…”

“You’re leaving, yet you still have me in your thoughts.”

Gu Kuang chuckled upon seeing this, these dozens of wine jars were obviously not meant to be finished, clearly, they were intended to be left for him.

Though he could take from the Treasure Vault too, he really didn’t like to shamelessly frequent it.

But it was different for his grandson, his grandson just needed a word, and the Elder would personally deliver it to him!

“Come, to you.”

Gu Changge said no more as the two sat down, and he waved to bring some Demon Beast Meat and Spirit Fruits that he had brought from the feast.

The grandfather and grandson did indeed drink heartily through the night.

Gu Kuang let the alcohol take over completely, not using any Spiritual Energy to dissipate it.

The next morning, seeing the old man sleeping with a wine jar and a smile on his face, Gu Changge gently got up.

He bowed to the old man and then left his own separate courtyard.

Afterward, he made a trip to the Young Master Palace.

As he stepped out of the mansion, the Flying Boat was already waiting.

And the people of the Gu Family had been waiting for a long time.

Wang Yue was holding Yuan Youbai, constantly instructing him on something.

“The Elixirs I left for the Wife, I placed them in the Young Master Palace.”

Gu Changge walked up and said softly to Wang Yue.

“Okay!”

“By the time Lord Husband returns from his three-year retreat, I must have broken through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm.”

“By then, waiting for Lord Husband to crown me…”

Wang Yue smiled with squinted eyes, showing not a hint of sadness.

It’s just Central State, just the Four Great Sacred Lands, what are those to Lord Husband?

There definitely won’t be any danger.

“My Lord, everything is ready.”

Jian Chen and Sage Zhao stepped forward and bowed.

Ready to depart for the Central State Sword Sect!
