Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 220 - 168: Third Order Root Bone Pill, Ancestor Shocked!

"That little rascal must be crazy!"

"The situation with the Elder now, attempting to break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, how is that different from seeking death!?"

"No, I have to stop that reckless boy!"

Eyes bulging, Gu Sanfeng could no longer sit still and was about to chase in the direction of the Back Mountain.

Although breaking through to the Ninth Grade could indeed solve all of the Elder's current problems!

The biggest issue was, this was simply impossible!

"Wait a moment..."

Gu Yixiao frowned and stopped him.

"No, that reckless boy may not understand, but don't you, Brother?"

"Just yesterday it was said that breaking through the Ninth Grade could solve the problem, but the question is, can the Elder endure such an ordeal?"

The stopped man still tried to break free from his older brother's grasp.

He then listened as Gu Yixiao continued, "Changge is obviously going to the Back Mountain to seek a way from the Ancestor, with the Ancestor there, he won't be allowed to act so recklessly."

After finishing, he paused, then looked toward the mountain path with a complicated expression, "And moreover, perhaps Changge really does have some way?"

"A way?"

"If there really was a way, the Ancestor would have acted long ago."

"The Elder, after all, is at the Perfection of the Heavenly Gate Realm, and for so many years the Ancestor hasn't been able to help."

Though Gu Sanfeng, having heard the explanation, no longer insisted on going to the Back Mountain, he still did not agree with his older brother's view.

"But..."

"Changge is different."

Gu Yixiao, somewhat not confident, still said, "Not able to cultivate for eighteen years, yet now in less than a year he has broken through from a mortal to the Ruins Realm, and his Root Bone even surpasses that of an Acquired Spirit Body, able to escape from the hands of those at the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm."

"Among these few points, pick any one, I won't ask if you've seen it before, just ask you one thing, have you ever heard of it?"

"In the entire Northern Domain, have you heard of anyone who could accomplish any one of these feats?"

Hearing this, Gu Sanfeng also fell silent.

After a long while, he muttered, "I really haven't heard of it, I hadn't even realized, that kid is now so defying of the natural order."

"So, let him go."

"The Elder himself hasn't objected, what are you anxious about?"

"What if it really succeeds?"

Gu Yixiao patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

Compared to his younger brother, he was much more composed.

"What if... it really succeeds?" Gu Sanfeng murmured to himself, gazing towards the Back Mountain, hope also rising in his heart.

Their conversation fell on the ears of Gu Qianjun, who also fell into silence.

Yes, the talent of the Young Master, unseen and unheard of.

Not to mention being unprecedented in the Northern Domain, even in Central State, one likely could not find such a heaven-defying talent as the Young Master!

Perhaps the Young Master really does have a way to save the second Elder?

And even... as the Young Master said, to help the second Elder break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm?

...

Soon, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the foot of the Back Mountain.

The Old Blind Man, sensing the Young Master's arrival, thought he was coming to find him and was already prepared to open the door to greet him.

But he saw that the two of them directly ignored his small courtyard, heading towards the Back Mountain.

Realizing that he was being overly sentimental, the Old Blind Man shook his head.

However, having just swept over with his Divine Sense, he had clearly understood Gu Kuang's situation.

"Ah... Daoist Fellow Gu Kuang's situation is even worse than this old man thought."

"Even if the Young Master seeks help from the Gu Family Ancestor, it will certainly be of no avail."

"He can only hope that the Young Master does not let his scheming affect his state of mind."

"Alas..."

The Old Blind Man shook his head, also feeling pity for Gu Kuang's dilemma.

Originally, he had been quite envious of Gu Kuang for having such a grandson.

Now he could only lament the unpredictability of life...

Shortly after, the grandfather and grandson had already successfully ascended the Back Mountain.

Feeling the arrivals were Gu Changge, the Ancestor at the Back Mountain had already dispersed the Maze ahead of time.

Their path was unobstructed.

On the way, Gu Kuang didn't say much, simply thinking if his grandson was not willing to give up, then let him struggle one more time; after all, he himself had nothing left to lose.

Upon reaching the familiar lakeside pavilion on the Back Mountain, the Ancestor, as usual, wore a straw hat and quietly sat fishing by the lake.

However, unlike before, this time Gu Changge did not wait quietly.

Upon seeing the old man, he bowed with hands clasped, "Ancestor."

Gu Haitang casually put down the fishing rod, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.

Ever since he first met the boy, he had always been able to bring him surprises and unexpected performances.

But today, his heart was in turmoil, he was rushed.

However, thinking that he was just nearly twenty years old, having been without parents all along, and now his only Elder might soon pass away, it was normal for him not to accept reality.

Moreover, if seen from another perspective, at least this boy valued loyalty; today he came to seek the Ancestor for Gu Kuang's sake, and if he truly made something of himself in Central State one day, he would certainly not forget the Gu Family.

Perhaps his own expectations of him were a bit too harsh.

Thinking this, Gu Haitang stood up and looked towards the grandfather and grandson.

"Gu Kuang, greeting the Ancestor."

Speaking of which, Gu Kuang, now the second Elder, was also seeing the Ancestor's true face for the first time.

After a glance, he thought the Ancestor seemed quite ordinary, having thought that his own Ancestor would be more imposing.

But decorum could not be absent, he still respectfully performed the rituals, even bowing deeper than his grandson to show respect for the Ancestor!

"I can guess your intention."

"But..."

"I regret to say, I cannot help you."

"This matter alone, even I am powerless."

"However, since you have come to seek me today, although I cannot revive him, I can find a suitable time to go to Central State, and eliminate the one who made the move."

Before the two could speak, Gu Haitang spoke first.
