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

Chapter 425 -237: Arriving at the Sword Sect, an Interesting Welcome Method!_3

“This is the Holy Land…”

“Truly, as the sayings are not false.”

Gu Changge casually swept his hand through the Spirit Fog floating beside the Flying Boat.

The concentration of Spiritual Energy here was so rich that even the clouds were saturated with it, turning into Spirit Fog!

No wonder Cultivators from Central State looked down upon the impoverished Four Domains and, despite the presence of so many Great Powers in Central State for so many years, they had never aspired to seize the Four Domains.

Compared to Central State, the Four Domains truly fell far behind; here, nature’s Spiritual Energy was so abundant, he could even sense that the Heavenly Laws seemed more complete.

It seemed that not only the chances for serendipity but also the birth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were far beyond what the Four Domains could compare to.

Why bother with the trouble of occupying the barren lands of the Four Domains?

Gu Changge lifted his eyes to look at the mountains within the Sword Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Pavilions and palaces stood majestically, dazzling with splendor.

The presence of powerful beings was endless; with just a slight sensing, he detected at least a hundred auras of Cultivators above the Eight-Grade Heavenly Gate Realm!

In the Northern Domain, those of the Eight-Grade Heavenly Gate Realm were considered the strongest known forces, yet in the Holy Land, they were so numerous.

And these were only the ones he had faintly sensed…

“Young Master, we have arrived.”

Sage Zhao brought the Flying Boat to a stop outside the Mountain Gate and said with folded hands.

Within the Sect, many Arrays and the Mountain Protection Array existed, making it impossible for the Flying Boat to enter.

To avoid disturbing the Arrays, he would have preferred to fly directly to the main hall, saving the Young Master the trouble of having to move.

“What’s the procedure then?”

Gu Changge nodded slightly and asked casually.

“The Sect Master has already instructed us to proceed directly to the main hall.”

Jian Chen said with a slight bow.

As they spoke, Sage Zhao had already dispersed the layers of Array barriers surrounding the Flying Boat.

At last, everyone was exposed to the gazes of the onlooking Disciples.

Gu Changge felt indifferent, and instead, he casually glanced around.

This Sword Sect was indeed worthy of being a Holy Land; the lowest Realm he saw was the Fifth-Grade Ruins Realm.

Even the majority of the Disciples were of the Sixth or Seventh Grades!

In the Northern Domain, these would be on par with a Deacon, but in a place like the Sword Sect, such Realms would likely only qualify them to be Outer Disciples, not even guaranteed to be Inner Sect Disciples!

Besides, he also noticed quite a few Elders at the Sage Realm were observing him.

However, he felt not the slightest stage fright.

His own identity was not a low one.

A Saint Heir…

No, the Direct Closed-door Disciple of a Supreme Elder!

It was just that his nominal master was nowhere to be seen.

“Is this the Holy Land…”

“Everyone here is so much stronger than me; if not for my cousin, I would never have had the chance to come to such a cultivation Holy Land in my life…”

Gu Changming, quite the opposite of his cousin, felt the scrutinizing gazes and involuntarily shrank his neck.

He had only just reached Perfection in the Qi Sea Realm.

A Third-Grade Realm here wouldn’t be worthy of even sweeping the floors at the Sword Sect!

Even the Sword Sect’s Miscellaneous Task workers would likely be of higher Realm than himself.

In contrast, Gu Qianjun was full of fighting spirit.

Being a Sixth-Grade Void Refining Realm, he was considered to have decent talent, and he met those gazes without flinching.

Silently standing behind the Young Master.

“Young Master, please…”

Jian Chen and Zhao Hai both made an inviting gesture.

The Old Blind Man, using his Divine Sense to watch this scene, couldn’t help but feel a multitude of emotions.

He had initially gone beyond Duanbei City to search for traces of a Young Dragon.

Little did he expect to encounter the Young Master.

Had it not been for the suggestion from the Gu Family Ancestor to protect his path, he would have missed this colossal opportunity.

Now, he had become one of the first to follow the Young Master.

Looking at the Tributor Waist Card at his waist, Old Blind Man was already prepared for the upcoming closed-door cultivation to break through to the Sage Realm.

At present, he could hardly be of any help to the Young Master, he didn’t even have the right to stand by his side and assist him anymore.

Elders Jian Chen and Zhao Hai would seize any opportunity they got…

He too needed to quickly break through to the Sage Realm and claim the position of an Elder.

To continue assisting the Young Master!

“Mm.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly, noticing Yuan Youbai nervously clutching at the corner of his clothes, and smiled as he took her small hand directly.

With a light leap from the Flying Boat, they landed at the Mountain Gate.

Zhao Hai retracted the Flying Boat, following closely behind with Jian Chen and the others.

Numerous gazes focused on him at the Mountain Gate, utterly silent.

It was only when Gu Changge was about to step into the Mountain Gate that an Elder finally spoke, “Sword Sect welcomes the Saint Heir.”

Instantly, the multitude of Sword Sect Disciples, some with swords on their backs bowing with hands clasped, and others saluting with swords in hand and fists wrapped.

In unison, they said to Gu Changge, “We greet the Saint Heir!”

At the same time, they each emitted their own Sword Intent, like soaring sword energies piercing the sky!

Even the Spirit Fog in the sky was scattered by their Sword Intent, revealing a clear azure sky above!

Hundreds of Sword Cultivators released their Sword Intent together, creating a tremendously intimidating aura, even capable of matching the pressures of the Sage Realm without the slightest weakness!

They were there to pay respects to the Saint Heir, but also to see what abilities this Saint Heir truly possessed!

Could he withstand the Sword Intent of everyone and step into the Mountain Gate?

If, as the Saint Heir, he couldn’t even cross the Mountain Gate under the influence of their Sword Intent, that would truly be a crushing disappointment, and naturally, there would be little expectation and awe for him in the future.

Hundreds of sorts of Sword Intent soared into the heavens.

With Gu Changming’s limited cultivation, he immediately felt darkness before his eyes and was on the verge of fainting.

Fortunately, Zhao Hai promptly placed a hand on his shoulder, shielding him from the impact of those Sword Intents.

Only then did Gu Changming catch his breath, though his legs still felt weak; just now he had felt as if he were in a sea of swords, on the verge of being shattered at any moment.

Gu Qianjun broke out in cold sweat, clenching his teeth and persevering, but his spine remained erect.

Originally inclined to help his disciple resist the impact of the Sword Intent, Jian Chen saw this and silently withdrew his hand.

He hadn’t expected that his disciple could withstand it on his own.

It was indeed a surprise, and, in fact, not a bad thing for him; facing so many Sword Intents was a rare opportunity.

Consider it a tempering of the heart.

Yuan Youbai timidly hid behind her husband, gripping his right hand tightly.

Then looking at Gu Changge…

Faced with these Sword Intents, he stopped his raised foot in mid-air, without setting it inside the Sword Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Seeing this, the numerous Sword Sect Disciples thought he was composing himself, countering the Sword Intent…

It was normal, after all, among the crowd were not a few Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm inner and direct disciples, and this prodigy from the Northern Domain was just at the early stage of the Seventh Grade Infinite Realm, needing a moment to adjust.

As long as he could withstand the Sword Intent and walk into the Mountain Gate, stepping across three steps would count as passing, and five steps would earn admiration!

Facing hundreds of people, most of whom were of the same Realm and some even higher, the pressure was no trifling matter.

At least the disciples present believed that very few of them could take three steps, and even those direct disciples admitted that at the level of Gu Changge, they couldn’t make five steps! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The Elders too kept their silence, tacitly approving the disciples’ actions.

This had become an unwritten rule in the Sword Sect, every new disciple hailed as a prodigy would face such a trial.

“This way of welcoming is quite interesting…”

Unexpectedly, Gu Changge just gave a faint smile.

Pressure?

Nonexistent!

He didn’t plan on taking those few steps…

Wanting to test his limits? Perfect, he also wanted to see just how capable these Sword Sect disciples were!
