Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 214 - 166: Love Everything My Husband Sends, Exchange Tens of Thousands of Attribute Points for Elixirs!

"Don't panic... Don't panic."

"Another message has come."

Gu Zhan, while soothing Gu Kuang, felt the Communication Jade Token quiver slightly and hurriedly took it out to check.

[Young Master has suffered superficial skin injuries, nothing serious! The Ninth Grade has escaped, the Eighth Grade has been slain.]

Seeing the content on it, Gu Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he directly tossed the Communication Jade Token to Gu Kuang, who was clamoring to go to the Back Mountain to seek an audience with the Ancestor.

"See for yourself."

"Changge is fine, just some superficial skin injuries."

"Besides, I have already dispatched two Elders to go for support."

"Plus, with that Annihilation Realm predecessor protecting, there won't be any unexpected troubles."

"Just wait at home with peace of mind."

Seeing that his emotions had stabilized, Gu Zhan spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"Hmph!"

"The scum of the Central State!"

"Someday..."

Gu Kuang, seeing that his grandson was unharmed, finally stopped obsessing over visiting the Ancestor on the Back Mountain, but he let out a cold huff as though he wanted to say something.

Then remembering his current state, the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, Changge is a promising kid."

"He'll be able to resolve this matter on his own sooner or later."

"As for you, how much longer do you have now?"

Usually, Gu Kuang always acted tough, ready to fight at a moment's notice, but today's conversation made Gu Zhan feel somewhat complicated.

"If I rest and don't use too much Spiritual Energy."

"I should still have a year and a half, at least."

On the return trip, Gu Kuang had already come to terms with his situation.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Facing the question, he answered casually without much thought.

Upon reflection, he really didn't have much to worry about; his grandson was already doing quite well and did not need his undue concern.

Only his third son had no interest in cultivating and only wanted to be a Deacon in the Gu Family.

But now, having come to terms with his situation, he thought that it might not be such a bad thing after all.

At least in this way, his third son wouldn't need to face the various dangers of Duanbei City in the future.

Nor would he encounter the same kind of danger as himself.

"..."

"Has the matter been told to Changge?"

Gu Zhan knew his situation was not good, but didn't expect it to be this serious.

A cultivator of Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm at Perfection, his Lifespan should have been a thousand years.

But now, he was just over a hundred years old...

And he was left with only a year to a year and a half of life.

"Not yet... Why should this old man make his grandson worry too much."

"Since it has come to this, let's not make it harder for him."

After speaking, Gu Kuang waved his hand and went back to his own courtyard with Gu Qianjun.

Now that his grandson was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

As for Gu Sanfeng, after returning to the family, he immediately sought out his elder brother, Gu Yixiao, to report the full situation.

"What!?"

"The old man only has a year of lifespan left?"

Gu Yixiao was incredulously shocked after hearing his younger brother's words.

"No... not a year."

"A year is the best-case scenario, and the old man has always been one to exaggerate."

"I suspect, at most half a year..."

Gu Sanfeng shook his head with a face full of helplessness.

"Isn't there anything that can be done?" Gu Yixiao furrowed his brows tightly, he too was somewhat at a loss upon hearing the news.

Hearing his elder brother ask such a foolish question, Gu Sanfeng couldn't help but feel that even his elder brother was rattled by the news, thrown into disarray.

"Essence Blood exhausted, Lifespan approaching, what else could be done?"

"If there is, there is indeed something."

"If the old man could break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm at the last moment, he could at least extend his life by another two thousand years!"

"But... is that possible?"

Gu Sanfeng said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

A normal Eighth Grade Heavenly Gate Realm cultivator, without illness or calamity, can live for a thousand years.

And an Annihilation Realm Great Power, without illness or calamity, can live for up to five thousand years!

Given the old man's special circumstances, with his Essence Blood drained, if he could break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, not to mention extend his life by four thousand, he could at least gain half that benefit!

But...

Just as Gu Sanfeng said.

Even before, the old man had not been able to break through the bottleneck to reach the Ninth Grade!

With his current situation, how could he possibly break through?

Attempting another breakthrough, fearing he wouldn't even last half a year, might perish in a single day!

"..."

Gu Yixiao fell silent, realizing his own mind was in chaos.

Meanwhile, in Changge's separate residence.

Wang Yue frowned at the Communication Jade Token in her hand.

The message from the Northern Domain Royal Family filled her with trepidation.

[Verify Gu Changge's condition, report back immediately.]

A simple sentence made Wang Yue ponder a lot.

"Why would they suddenly inquire about my husband's condition..."

"Could it be that something has happened to him?"

Without pausing to think, Wang Yue decided to ask the Gu Family Head or the Elder.

It wasn't to deal with the royal family's request, but genuine concern that something might have happened to her husband!

Seeing her ready to leave, Yuan Youbai, curious, followed her.

"Sister Princess, where are you going?"

Faced with her curiosity, Wang Yue wore a grave expression and said nothing, taking her small hand and heading straight toward the Council Hall.

Yet before they reached the hall, they encountered a familiar figure.

"Wang Yue? And little Youbai?"

"Where are you two off to?"

Gu Kuang, seeing the two of them, softened his expression a bit, and with a smile as if nothing was the matter, was the first to speak.

"Grandpa Gu..." both of them were taken aback but quickly paid their respects.

"Has something happened to... my husband?"

Wang Yue didn't bother with formalities, her worry evident as she directly asked the old man about her husband's condition.

Earlier when leaving the courtyard, she had also sent a message to inquire after her husband, but had yet to receive a response, further fueling her anxiety.
