Chapter 239: Three Hundred Thousand Attribute Points! Wu Family Elder's Arm Severed!

Chapter 239: Three Hundred Thousand Attribute Points! Wu Family Elder's Arm Severed!

The Ancestor had already dealt with the Demon Beasts, making Gu Changge's actions all the more effortless.

With a thought, he summoned the Small Tower.

In a flash, the Small Tower appeared and disappeared.

It returned to his palm as it had left.

But the three Demon Beast hearts burst open instantly.

At the same time, a dense Xuanhuang Qi surged violently within the bodies of the Demon Beasts, making them deader than dead!

In his mind, three prompt sounds rang consecutively:

[Host has killed a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Demon Beast, rewarded with Attribute Points: one hundred thousand!]

[Host has killed a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Demon Beast, rewarded with Attribute Points: one hundred thousand!]

[Host has killed a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Demon Beast, rewarded with Attribute Points: one hundred thousand!]

Instantly, that was a gain of three hundred thousand Attribute Points!

It truly made him experience the thrill of sudden wealth!

And the Xuanhuang Tower in his hand, rotating slightly, even turned the Demon Beast's Essence Blood into three red threads, continuously absorbing and nurturing itself!

"Truly a Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure."

"Even capable of nurturing from Essence Blood, tsk tsk..."

Witnessing this, the Ancestor looked at the Small Tower with a bit of envy.

He had already enveloped the Inner Court with his Divine Sense upon returning to the Gu Family, and had learned about the recent events.

Even though he hadn't specifically inquired about Gu Zhan, he had also heard about the Heavenly Grade Supreme Cultivation Technique and Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure!

"You really haven't been idle for a moment."

"The surprises you bring to this old man have never ceased."

Seeing the other party looking at him, Gu Haitang couldn't help but feel emotional.

The Gu Family had a history of thousands of years, and at least five True Monarchs had emerged from it!

But including himself, and even the Moon Unification True Monarch in the black coffin, they had only comprehended Heavenly Rank Lower Cultivation Techniques from the Inheritance Stone, never discovering the mysteries within.

He himself had just left the family, and this young man blew up the Inheritance Stone, retrieved the Treasure concealed within, and even obtained the inheritance of a Heavenly Rank Supreme Cultivation Technique!

This feeling, needless to say, was quite uncomfortable.

It turns out that for so many years, the Gu Family was guarding this treasure, and no one discovered it! Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

"Just a stroke of luck..." Gu Changge let the Small Tower absorb the Essence Blood of the Demon Beast, its divine light flickering, then put it back into his Qi Sea.

He said modestly to the Ancestor with a cupped-hand salute.

"Stroke of luck?"

"For thousands of years, no one in the Gu Family has ever been so lucky to encounter such a great opportunity."

"You're being overly modest..."

Gu Haitang waved his hand.

However, what concerned him more was whether Gu Changge had obtained the Origin from the Demon Beast.

Although he was fully concentrating on everything, he also did not notice any unusual fluctuations.

He could only ask, "Did you obtain the Life Origin to refine Elixirs?"

Gu Changge nodded resolutely, "Enough to refine quite a few Elixirs."

As he spoke, he silently thought about exchanging for Elixirs:

[Exchanging for one Fourth-Grade Root Bone Pill (+1), now placed in the System Space.]

[Total Attribute Points consumed: twenty thousand]

[Host's remaining Attribute Points: two hundred ninety thousand five hundred]

Looking at the long number, Gu Changge felt utterly blissful.

Impossible to spend it all!

The Ancestor himself already possessed an Acquired Spirit Body with a Root Bone Value of over a hundred; a Third-Grade Root Bone Pill would diminish its effect by a hundred times and was hardly useful to him.

So, he directly exchanged for a Fourth-Grade Elixir.

However, not to appear too heaven-defying, he didn't exchange too many at once.

After the exchange, he raised his hand and summoned the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus, allowing it to emit a faint golden Tao Rhythm. Then, he directly took out the Elixir from the System Space and placed it on the Golden Lotus!

It looked as if the Golden Lotus emitted the golden Tao Rhythm which consolidated into an Elixir!

The Gu Family Ancestor watched this scene intently.

Looking at it again, he still couldn't discern any clues, completely unable to understand how it was done.

But the Elixir was genuinely formed!

Leaving no room for his doubts.

"Three Unlimited Realm Demon Beasts only produced one Elixir?"

Looking at the Elixir, though it emitted strong medicinal power sufficient to enhance his Root Bone, the Gu Family Ancestor still frowned.

Judging by this rate, he would have to capture a few hundred Seventh Grade Demon Beasts—where could he find so many to capture?

"That's not the case."

"The Origin also needs time to be refined."

"The Life Origin obtained just now could refine about ten Elixirs of this quality."

Gu Changge hurriedly explained.

Three hundred thousand Attribute Points, if exchanged, should yield fifteen Fourth Grade Elixirs.

But even if he took some kickbacks for himself, ten Elixirs were already heaven-defying!

Indeed, hearing this, the Ancestor's eyes lit up.

"Excellent!"

"Most excellent..."

He initially thought only one Elixir could be condensed, but unexpectedly, it could produce ten of such quality!

With this calculation, a few dozen Seventh Grade Demon Beasts, or adding a few Eighth Grade Demon Kings, were enough for him to rely on the Elixirs to achieve the Acquired Dao Body. Even if not reaching the Acquired Dao Body, it could enhance to the pinnacle of the Spiritual Body!

Breaking through to the Moon Unification Realm would then no longer be a difficult step!

Gu Changge didn't hesitate and handed the Elixir to the Ancestor.

"The remaining Elixirs, I will bring to the Ancestor after some time."

The Ancestor took the Elixir, looking at his junior with eyes filled with relief and nodded with a benevolent smile, "Keep what you need for yourself, no need to give them all to this old man."

"Let's split it in half, each time the Origin is obtained, this old man takes half, and you use the other half to enhance yourself."

Hearing the Ancestor say this, Gu Changge couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a bit guilty.

"Not at all appropriate... After all, I didn't contribute much," he began, attempting to modestly decline.

Yet the Ancestor simply raised his hand and firmly interrupted, "That's where you're wrong; this isn't a matter of whether you contributed effort or not."

"This is a matter of your talent; without you, not to mention a Seventh Grade Demon Beast, even if I hunted a Ninth Grade Transformed Demon King, what would be the use?"

"To take half is already taking a huge advantage; it wouldn't be an overstatement to call it a heaven-defying fortune."

"Moreover, you are the future of the Gu Family..."

"We old things are simply basking in your glow."

Gu Haitang sighed deeply, his satisfaction with the junior in front of him growing with every look.

Seeing that he still wanted to say something, Gu Haitang even more decisively made a decision, "No need to say more, it's settled: the family takes fifty percent, and you yourself take fifty percent."

"The old man will now use the family's share in advance, consider it my own selfishness."

With the Ancestor speaking to this point, Gu Changge naturally couldn't say much more.

If the Ancestor could break through one more level, it would be a tremendous boon for the Gu Family.

Even the current power dynamics of the Northern Domain would undergo a tremendous change.

An Ancestor of the True Monarch Realm, not lacking in lifespan and able to act freely, could completely dominate the Northern Domain!

Even in the Central State, not many would dare to provoke.

As for the rest of the family, there was no urgency; there would be opportunities sooner or later!

Gu Haitang did not rush to consume the Elixirs, but casually handled the corpses of the three Infinite Realm Demon Beasts with his Spiritual Energy, giving the valuable parts to Gu Changge.

Then, he continued, "Furthermore, I have an improper request to ask of you..."

"Please speak, Ancestor." Gu Changge received the three inner cores and the valuable parts into the Space Ring and then respectfully answered with a cupped fist salute.

"When it comes time, may I also have a copy of that Heavenly Rank Technique?"

Gu Haitang asked somewhat sheepishly.

He was a Gu Family Ancestor, yet now he had to ask a junior who was many generations his junior for a Cultivation Technique, and it was even one of the family's inherited Cultivation Techniques.

It was almost as though he couldn't keep his face...

"It's just that? No problem."

"When the time comes, from Low Grade to Top Grade, I'll retain an extra copy of the Jade Scroll for the Ancestor," Gu Changge replied with a realization, his response accompanied by a smile.

Originally, this Technique came from his family; he had only grasped its mysteries.

Not only would he share this complete Technique with the Ancestor, but with the family as well; he had no intention of keeping it to himself.

Even if the Ancestor hadn't asked, he could have comprehended it from the family's Teaching Tower.

Most likely, the Ancestor couldn't bear to lose face or didn't want to go to the noisy Inner Court and attract too much attention.

"By the way, may I ask the Ancestor to test a Secret Technique?"

Gu Changge suddenly made a request of his own.

Hearing this, the Ancestor showed interest and nodded, indicating it was no problem.

Suddenly, his eyes shot open in disbelief.

Staring at Gu Changge, he almost anxiously grabbed his arm to check his condition!

It was only because he had mentioned testing a Secret Technique beforehand, otherwise, the Ancestor really wouldn't have been able to sit still!

"Your Root Bone..."

In Gu Haitang's eyes, this youngster's original Acquired Dao Body had rapidly deteriorated, transforming into an Acquired Spirit Body!

Then, it plummeted right down to the level of an ordinary mortal physique!

This truly frightened him!

This precious talent could not afford any mishap!

"Ancestor, can you still sense my Acquired Dao Body's Root Bone?"

Seeing this, Gu Changge already had his answer, but still inquired.

"Cannot, I cannot perceive even a little bit."

"To my eyes, you are now a complete mortal, even your talents are mediocre."

"Is this the Secret Technique you mentioned?" the Ancestor asked with astonishment.

Seeing him nod, the Ancestor couldn't help but continue, "Will this Secret Technique harm your foundation?"

In his eyes, Gu Changge's Root Bone was clearly deteriorating.

If it harmed the foundation, then this Secret Technique shouldn't be used at all!

One shouldn't ruin oneself just for the sake of concealment!

"It will not."

"This Secret Technique uses the Divine Soul to disguise the Root Bone, while in reality everything remains as it originally was."

"It is merely an extra layer of disguise."

"Since the Ancestor couldn't tell, it seems the effect of this Secret Technique is quite satisfactory."

Fortunately, Gu Changge explained the principle of the Secret Technique, completely reassuring the Ancestor.

"No wonder you were able to comprehend the true inherited Technique from the Teaching Stone."

"With your Comprehension and Talent, I'm afraid even without a Technique, you could easily create one of your own!"

After a moment of silence, the Ancestor spoke with a complex expression.

"The Ancestor flatters me too much." Gu Changge responded humbly with a smile to the praise.

Nevertheless, he felt that creating his own Technique might indeed not be so difficult.

Perhaps it was worth a try if the opportunity arose.

"If there are no other instructions from the Ancestor, I shall take my leave."

Seeing the Ancestor had nothing more to add, and having achieved all his goals, Gu Changge bowed and prepared to depart.

He would exchange for a few more Elixirs after a few days and pass them to the Ancestor.

"Wait a moment."

"I have something for you."

Gu Haitang suddenly spoke up, taking out an arm from his Space Ring and tossing it on the ground.

"What is this?"

Gu Changge looked at the arm, momentarily stunned.

"It is the arm of the Wu Family's Ninth Grade member who tried to attack you outside the Heavenly Cold Sect."

"It wasn't appropriate to take his life, but cutting off an arm is not too much."

"How Celestal State may be, if they really want to trouble the Gu Family, they should think carefully about the consequences!"

The Ancestor spoke calmly.

Yet, it was the first time Gu Changge saw the domineering side of the Ancestor.

No wonder the Ancestor only returned to the family after over half a month.

He had actually made a trip to Central State!

And he had cut off the arm of the Ninth Grade who had attempted to harm him.

"This trinket is of little use to me; you might as well take it for fishing, Ancestor."

Gu Changge was stunned for a moment, he paid his respects to the Ancestor again before he retreated.

Suddenly, he realized something.

Central State didn't seem as terrifying, and as for the Wu Family, they obviously wouldn't dare to instigate a major conflict with his Gu Family.

At least they wouldn't dare come to the Northern Domain to crusade against the Gu Family.

Just the Ancestor in the Sage Realm alone could go to Central State, discover their identity, and sever their arms.

If the two Ancestors in the Black Coffin were to awaken, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?

The Sages, even the True Monarchs of Central State, wouldn't risk mutual destruction by coming to the Gu Family looking for trouble.

"I've swallowed this Heart-Set Pill," murmured Gu Changge after he descended the mountain.

This was clearly the Ancestor telling him that Central State was inconsequential and the Gu Family would always have his back.

Though the true person behind the scenes was the Saint from the Immortal Ascension Sect, at least the Gu Family could make their stance clear!

There was a price for taking action against the Gu Family's Young Master!

As for that Saint...

The Gu Family Ancestor could do nothing, after all, storming into the Immortal Ascension Sect would be akin to seeking death.

After he had left.

The Gu Family Ancestor in the Back Mountain looked at the Elixir in his hand and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"This lad is indeed the hope for the prosperity of our Gu Family."

"I hope that before he heads to Central State, I can attempt to breakthrough to the Moon Unification True Monarch Realm, so that even in Central State, I can protect him somewhat!"

"Heavenly Rank Top Grade Cultivation Technique..."

"If I can successfully switch to cultivation, breaking through should be almost certain!"

"What is fortune and fate?"

"He is the fortune and fate of our Gu Family!"

Gu Haitang had never thought that he might break through to the True Monarch Realm, but now it was a fact.

The hope was growing even more significant, no longer merely hope, but... a fact!

With the enhancement of Root Bone and Cultivation Technique, if he, Gu Haitang, could not break through to the True Monarch Realm, then he'd be unworthy of being called the Gu Family Ancestor!

Back in the day, wasn't he considered the greatest talent of the Northern Domain, a peerless genius that appeared once in a millennium?

Yet now, when facing this junior, Gu Haitang felt his own talent was nothing short of ludicrous.

What genius?

Are those Saints from Central State also considered geniuses?

Compared to Gu Changge's defiance of the heavens, those Saints from the Holy Lands of Central State were merely equal to everyone else…

...

When Gu Changge returned to his own courtyard, seeing nearly three hundred thousand Attribute Points on his panel, he couldn't help but feel excited.

According to the Ancestor's instruction, a hundred thousand Attribute Points were to be exchanged for Elixirs for the Ancestor.

He would still have over a hundred thousand left!

At this rate, not to mention Root Bone, even Comprehension could easily breakthrough the threshold of five hundred.

Even transforming his wives into Acquired Dao Bodies wouldn't be a problem!

He now also had a Secret Technique for hiding Root Bone, just waiting for his wives to learn the technique so it could be implemented without anyone being the wiser!

And the Ancestor chopping off that Ninth Grade arm of the Wu Family also gave him quite a bit of confidence.

It was just Central State, right?

If the Ancestor could go, so could he!

But before that, he still needed to accumulate more strength and foundation for a little longer!

...

[Immortal Ascension Sect]

Saint Wu Jiang looked at the Elder before him, his expression somewhat gloomy.

At this moment, the Wu Family Elder, now lacking a right arm—though he had taken an Elixir to heal his injury, the missing arm couldn't be reattached.

Losing an arm meant that even if he fully recovered, his combat power would be significantly reduced.

"Gu Family..."

"After so many years, they are still so bold."

Even though the Sage who had acted hadn't revealed his identity and had even kept the Wu Family Elder from seeing his face,

Wu Jiang was absolutely certain that it was the Gu Family's doing.

Given that the Wu Family in Central State was currently thriving, especially since he became the Saint of the Immortal Ascension Sect, most families were very amiable toward the Wu Family.

There was no reason for them to provoke the Wu Family, who hadn't had any recent feuds with other families.

This Elder had just returned from a trip to the Northern Domain.

Even though there was no concrete evidence, only the Gu Family would do such a thing!

"My Lord, I estimate that I need to return to the family for some time now."

"But the task you assigned has been completed."

"If my Lord still needs more assistance, the family will send other Elders."

The one-armed Elder of the Wu Family said helplessly.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Rest assured, this Saint Heir has noted this revenge, the Gu Family will surely pay the price."

Saint Wu Jiang slightly bowed, after all, he was his own family elder, not just a Tributor from the Immortal Ascension Sect.

"It's nothing; your matters are more important, my Lord."

"Don't let my issues hinder your important affairs."

After giving his respects, the Wu Family Elder turned into Black Flame and dissipated into the mountains.

"This I must see, how your Gu Family is going to handle this coming..."

The expression on Wu Jiang's face darkened. The Gu Family had a strong presence in the Northern Domain; he didn't want to, nor could he afford to, strongly confront the Gu Family directly.

Relying solely on the Wu Family would not be enough to forcibly challenge the Gu Family in the Northern Domain without both sides suffering.

It wasn't worth it.

But...

He had already found a scapegoat, and he anticipated satisfying results.

...

"Hmph, thought you could stop me?"

"Heh heh, I've finally escaped."

"It's just the Northern Domain, I will definitely capture that Young Dragon and shut you all up!"

A spirited young woman in Strong Clothes sneakily fled from her home.

Though young, she possessed the formidable power of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm!

"Upon my return, it'll be the perfect opportunity to challenge the Ninth Saint Son Peak and become the Ninth Sword Master!"

Dongfang Mingyue, holding her Flying Sword and using Hidden Breath to conceal herself, quietly left her family.

Unbeknownst to her, a powerful Sage was cheerfully watching from above, silently following behind her.

"Although the Northern Domain is a desolate place, given Mingyue's temperament, she's bound to stir up some trouble."

"Return home, this old man will follow her there."

After leaving a message, he didn't reveal himself, just silently followed the young girl. Letting her suffer a bit on this trip to the Northern Domain could be beneficial as long as no real danger arose.

It would prevent her from becoming overly arrogant, which is detrimental to cultivation.
