Chapter 254: To Clarify, I Killed Wang Yu!

To Clarify, I Killed Wang Yu!

“Just as long as he could break through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm,”

“even when arriving in Central State, this Young Master would have the power to protect himself.”

“At least, as long as no one above Ninth Grade made a move, there would be no danger.”

Gu Changge felt his current situation and muttered to himself, making a judgment.

At this rate, in no more than a year, he would be able to break through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm and set out for Central State!

He now looked at the system notifications from the past few days.

While cultivating, he only accepted the daily results of his Daoist couple’s cultivation by default, and hadn’t noticed the other notifications.

It must be that after these twenty days, his wives had refined the elixirs.

Sure enough, when he looked at the record of system notifications.

[Does the host wish to claim yesterday’s Daoist couple cultivation results…]

[Does the host wish…]

[Taoist Couple: Yuan Youbai (Void Refining Realm·Early Stage) refined a third Grade Root Bone Pill (+1), third Grade Comprehension Pill (+1), claim now?]

[Unclaimed for a day, automatically received for the host, Root Bone +1, Comprehension +1.]

[Taoist Couple: Wang Yue (Ruins Realm·Mid-Stage) refined a third Grade Root Bone Pill…]

[Timeout… automatically received for the host.]

[Taoist Couple: Liu Qingqing (Ruins Realm·Mid-Stage) refined…]

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

Seeing one notification after another, Gu Changge slightly smiled, it seemed that his wives had been successful in their refining.

Looking at the Daoist couple panel, sure enough, everyone’s Root Bone Comprehension had broken through the two hundred mark.

But…

On the panel, he could also see each person’s Innate Divine Abilities, but there wasn’t an option to share them.

“It seems Innate Divine Abilities can’t be shared.”

Gu Changge wasn’t too surprised.

After all, for Divine Power Techniques, synchronizing simply needed some understanding.

But Innate Divine Abilities were different.

Just like his own Innate Divine Abilities — the Tao Bell in his Divine Sense Space, the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus in his Qi Sea, and that Little Golden Man.

They weren’t something that could be utilized just through shared understanding. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

They required the actual items to be present.

Even though he couldn’t share the Innate Divine Abilities, he wasn’t disheartened.

What he lacked the least now were Innate Divine Abilities!

Perhaps no one in the world could have more or more astonishing Innate Divine Abilities than his.

Thinking this way, he looked toward his own panel:

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 716]

[Comprehension: 662]

[Cultivation Techniques: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Heavenly Cold Technique, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Technique, Purple Qi Eastward Technique.]

[Realm: Ruins Realm · Perfection (1/100)]

[Divine Skills: Skip…]

[Talents: Transcendence, Protection, Taoist Pupil, Fatian Xiangdi, Hidden Breath, Dragon Flame]

[Attribute Points: 109400]

Although his Root Bone and Comprehension had only increased by three points each after sharing,

For him, it was merely a minor improvement.

But for his wives, it was a significant leap!

They had surpassed the peak of Acquired Spirit Body, creating an Acquired Dao Body!

If they wanted, they could now even enter any Holy Land in Central State and be treated like treasures!

But suddenly having everyone around him becoming an Acquired Dao Body could bring considerable trouble, that was hard to say.

Fortunately, with his self-created Divine Concealment Secret Technique, even those above Ninth Grade couldn’t detect anything.

Thinking this way, he had already walked out of the Seclusion Room.

Only to find that the three of them had already come out.

Upon seeing him, Yuan Youbai excitedly pounced over.

Nestling in his arms, her head couldn’t help but rub back and forth.

“Lord Husband, Sister Princesses are amazing; they all have Innate Divine Abilities.”

Yuan Youbai’s head was rubbed, and only then did she look up at Lord Husband with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

As a member of the Dragon Clan, she inherently possessed Innate Divine Abilities, and though she had gained one more, she wasn’t too surprised.

With the enhancement of her Bloodline, her ability to understand Innate Divine Abilities, and even her speed of improvement, was getting faster and faster.

Even her strength in the same Realm was also increasing synchronously!

“Has Lord Husband broken through to the Perfection of the Ruins Realm?”

Liu Qingqing approached, her eyes filled with surprise as she discovered that Lord Husband had made another breakthrough.

So fast…

“Huh?”

Initially acting somewhat coy, intending to show off her own Innate Divine Abilities to Lord Husband, Wang Yue heard that Lord Husband had broken through again and was also unexpectedly taken aback.

That aura of Perfection in the Ruins Realm couldn’t be faked.

“How did he break through again…”

“And I always feel that Lord Husband’s strength seems to have increased a lot.”

“It doesn’t seem like just a breakthrough in Realm.”

Wang Yue pouted, suddenly forgetting about showing off.

He was just too dazzling…

Even now that everyone had an Acquired Dao Body, they still felt they couldn’t keep up with his pace.

“What Innate Divine Abilities have my wives realized?”

Gu Changge asked knowingly with a smile.

Hearing him say this, Liu Qingqing raised her hand, and a small tree completely formed from ice appeared in her palm, then instantly turned into Tao Rhythm and dispersed.

The whole hall instantly turned into an ice-and-snow landscape.

Completely her own domain.

With just a thought from Liu Qingqing, ice spears appeared, their hardness comparable to Dark Grade Top Grade Magic Treasures!

And within her domain, they could be born endlessly!

Even within the domain, her Spiritual Energy was almost constantly replenished.

The power of Divine Power Techniques could also be amplified!

“Within the domain, I should be able to fight against someone in the Early Stage of Void Refining Realm,”

Liu Qingqing said slowly with a smile.

She had the capability to fight across Realms before, but it was only across Small Realms; now she was confident she could cross a Great Realm!

As she displayed her Innate Divine Ability, Frost Cold Domain, Wang Yue couldn’t help feeling a bit cold and involuntarily moved closer to Lord Husband.

Yuan Youbai, being in a higher Realm, wasn’t cold, but seeing Sister Princess’s action

Gu Changge seemed to have no sensation at all.

He had synchronized with Qingqing's Cultivation Technique, which gave him no small immunity to this Coldness Domain.

Furthermore, his constitution far surpassed others.

He had already reached the Sacred Body level, and his Innate Divine Ability was even more extraordinary, so naturally, the Cold Frost Domain wouldn't affect him much.

"Disperse..."

Seeing the two taking advantage of the situation to eat Husband's tofu, Liu Qingqing frowned and raised her hand to dispel her Innate Divine Power.

"What is Yue'er's Innate Divine Ability?"

Gu Changge, noticing the cold energy had dispersed, yet the two were still clinging to an arm each,

could only ask aloud.

Hearing Lord Jun's words, she then released his arm.

Moving aside, her aura suddenly changed completely.

She was enveloped in a noble and elegant Tao Rhythm.

That Tao Rhythm turned into Emperor's Robes, with Wang Yue holding a Small Seal in her hand, which was her Heaven Rank Divine Skill, the Sky Flipping Seal!

However, its power was boosted several times over!

Moreover, at this moment, she stood high and mighty, just like an Empress gracing the world.

"Why do you not kneel before the Empress?"

Wang Yue's voice came through.

That voice, noble, was beyond dispute.

Hearing this voice, an idea arose in Gu Changge's mind as though he ought to kneel.

However, this thought only appeared for an instant before he tossed it out of his mind as if nothing had happened.

That voice seemed to possess a special kind of magic.

Liu Qingqing frowned and circulated her Spiritual Energy, managing to suppress the thought in her mind, but she needed to remain focused at all times or else she would be influenced.

If this were during battle, having to divide attention would greatly affect the power that could be exerted!

Compared to the two of them, Yuan Youbai was stunned for a moment.

Without hesitation, she moved to Sister Princess's side, obediently about to kneel, and even began to say, "Greetings to Sister Princess..."

Even with her Void Refinement Realm strength, she hadn't resisted the influence of Wang Yue's voice in the slightest.

Her body instinctively acted according to her command.

Fortunately, Wang Yue wouldn't actually have her kneel, and with a wave of her hand, she supported her with Emperor's Aura.

Then she dispersed her Innate Divine Ability.

The air of luxury and nobility in her golden Tao Rhythm also faded away.

"Heh heh..."

"As long as their Realm is lower than mine, or at the same level, they're basically bound to be affected."

"Besides the power boost, I can also issue various commands; as long as one's mind is affected, even commanding them to commit suicide shouldn't be a problem."

Wang Yue proudly tilted her pretty face up, waiting for Lord Jun's praise.

Compared to Liu Qingqing's Innate Divine Ability, hers didn't add much to her actual strength, but the effect was similarly impressive.

"With this Divine Skill, if you become the Empress of the Northern Domain, it would indeed be fitting."

Gu Changge nodded slightly.

This Innate Divine Ability wasn't bad either.

At the very least, it could be used to control those with a lower Realm without any effort.

As for those of the same Realm, carelessness could lead to being affected.

Those of a higher Realm, however, could resist.

Or, like Liu Qingqing, who also possessed an Acquired Dao Body, it wouldn't take much effort to resist at the same Realm.

Comparing the two, it's hard to say who is stronger or weaker.

But when compared with his own, it seemed to fall somewhat short.

"That's for sure!"

"The entire Northern Domain will kneel before me, the Empress."

"Of course... Lord Jun may sit upon the Empress's throne with me then, together we'll watch."

"My Dragon Bed will always belong to Husband."

Even though Husband's praise wasn't serious, she was still delightedly looking forward to the day in the near future when she would truly be above millions!

"That really is an honor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress."

After hearing this, Gu Changge smiled slightly and gave a bow in cooperation.

Compared to Qingqing, who only wishes to become a Proving Immortal, Yue'er seemed quite enticed by imperial power.

It seemed that Innate Divine Abilities had a lot to do with one's cultivation technique and personality.

Initially, his own concern was life-saving above all.

As a result, his Innate Divine Ability was the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus.

This invincible defensive Divine Skill.

He had even withstood two bolts of Heavenly Tribulation with the Golden Lotus alone.

Now that he had four Qi Seas, even if he faced an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, he was confident he could withstand their five full-power attacks!

And if he had the opportunity, using his Transcendence Talent Divine Power, he might even kill the opponent with a single strike!

"It's all good."

Wang Yue, seeing Lord Jun being so cooperative, tilted her proud face even higher.

"Youbai's isn't as impressive as my sisters'..."

"It's just an additional attack Divine Skill."

"And I can only use it when I'm in my true form."

Yuan Youbai spoke timidly after recovering.

"No worries; you don't need to demonstrate yours."

"We wouldn't want to attract too much attention."

Gu Changge patted her hair gently and spoke softly.

He had already seen the three's Innate Divine Abilities from his panel; it was just about letting them show off for a bit.

"Mm!" Yuan Youbai nodded and didn't dwell on it further.

Just then, a Deacon from the Gu Family arrived at Young Master Palace.

He didn't wait to send a message first.

Gu Changge, sensing his arrival, had already come out to meet him.

"Young Master."

The Deacon bowed respectfully.

Then he directly stated his purpose: "The second Prince from the Northern Domain Royal Family, Wang Cheng, has just arrived at the Gu Family's main city. He is now on his way here, claiming to visit family. Should I ask the second lady to go to the Council Hall?"

Hearing his words, Gu Changge also remembered that Yue'er had mentioned that the Imperial Family intended to send someone for a familial visit.

A visit was one thing, but it was really an excuse to verify the veracity of those outrageous rumors.

“I understand, I will bring my wife over later.”

Deacon Gu Changge nodded slightly.

“Are you also going, Young Master?”

“Wouldn’t that be giving too much face?”

The Gu Family’s Deacon was taken aback by the remark. In the minds of the Gu Family, what Second Prince, even the Crown Prince, compared to the Young Master, they weren’t even worthy to carry his shoes.

“After all, he is my uncle.”

“It’s not a problem.”

Gu Changge smiled, and the Deacon, hearing this, said no more.

He wouldn’t dare question the Young Master’s decision.

After saying goodbye, he turned and left.

Inside the palace, Wang Yue and the others had also heard the news.

Luckily, Liu Qingqing and Yuan Youbai had no intention of meeting that Second Prince and decided to continue their seclusion to digest the enhancement of the Acquired Dao Body.

Wang Yue, with her husband’s arm on her wrist, exchanged a glance before heading toward the Inner Court.

When the two arrived at the Inner Court, they happened upon a figure.

“Young Master!”

Gu Qianjun was overjoyed to see the Young Master and came forward to greet him.

But when he sensed the Young Master emitting the aura of the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm at Perfection, he was suddenly taken aback.

His expression stiffened a bit.

Could he really be of any help to the Young Master, with such a rate of breakthrough?

“When are you planning to head to Duanbei City?”

Gu Changge nodded slightly and motioned for him to follow along outside.

“In the next two or three days.”

“Elder Gu claims he can hardly wait.”

“But he still wanted to see the Young Master one more time before leaving, and you were in seclusion.”

“So here we are now.”

Gu Qianjun replied.

The original plan had been to go to Duanbei City much earlier.

But the Family Head still wanted to see his eldest grandson one more time before leaving. The incident at Duanbei City had really cast a shadow over his heart.

There might be some accidents waiting for him; at least with these meetings, he could have more time with his grandson!

“I see.”

“Then, tonight, I’ll bring over some Spiritual Wine and go see the Family Head.”

“You should come too.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly and said with a smile.

“Yes,” Gu Qianjun responded.

When he noticed the Young Master walking out, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you going, Young Master?”

If he was going out with the Second Lady to stroll around, wouldn’t it be an intrusion for him to follow?

The Young Master now didn’t need his protection.

He feared that suppressing him wouldn’t even require much effort from the Young Master’s current strength!

“The second uncle is visiting; I have to greet him.”

Gu Changge casually replied.

“The second uncle?”

“The Second Prince of the Northern Domain?”

“Is it proper for someone of your status to greet him?”

“He’s not the Emperor of the Northern Domain.”

After speaking, Gu Qianjun remembered that this was, after all, the brother of the Young Master’s wife and took a careful look, only to find that the Young Master didn’t care and then he sighed with relief.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“It’s a good time to take a walk outside after secluding myself for a while and breathe some fresh air.”

Gu Changge waved his hand nonchalantly, not dwelling on these matters.

Before long, they were already outside the mansion.

“Why has the Young Master come as well?”

“How could you demean yourself by greeting him?”

“This is inappropriate!”

“If you’d like to see them, it would be better to wait back at the Council Hall.”

“Even the Family Head hasn’t come out to greet him; what does this mean for you to come out?”

Upon seeing his appearance, many of the Stewards and Elder Gu Liang, the only Fifth Elder present, immediately frowned and came over.

They all expressed that the Young Master needn’t do this.

Elder Gu Liang even implied in his words that the Young Master was more distinguished than the Family Head…

But the other Stewards didn’t find anything wrong with such a statement.

It should be so!

“Cough… I just wanted to get some air.”

“Don’t mind me.” Said Gu Changge, somewhat exasperated.

Was his status now a bit too high?

Why couldn’t he even step out of the house?

Seeing his impatience, everyone dared not say more and let the Young Master do as he pleased.

“Are you satisfied with your living accommodations, Young Master?”

“If there’s anything you need, please just ask.”

“There are actually quite a few treasures in the Family Head’s other courtyard…”

Elder Gu Liang took the opportunity to converse, asking with a beaming smile.

“Satisfied, very satisfied…”

“In the future, let’s not bother with the Family Head’s other courtyards.”

Gu Changge’s mouth twitched slightly, as he remembered why the looks he received from the Family Head seemed off.

So that was the reason!

“Good to hear, good to hear!” Gu Liang rejoiced at the news of his satisfaction, appearing quite invigorated.

He knew the Young Master Palace was worthwhile!

See, the Young Master said he was satisfied!

He was the one who understood the Young Master!

While making casual conversation, the procession of the Northern Domain Royal Family appeared on the street.

The Second Prince Wang Cheng from the Northern Domain seemed in good spirits, even engaging in cheerful banter with the Stewards of the Gu Family by his side.

Following him were the Northern Domain Shadow Guards, all of whom possessed the strength of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, and there were even a few experts of the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm.

However, to Gu Changge, these experts now seemed inconsequential.

If he wanted to, even just as a Fifth-grade Ruins Realm at Perfection, he wouldn’t need to take those Shadow Guards into account.

Before long, the procession approached.

“Little Sister, I’ve missed you. Have you missed your brother?”

Wang Cheng said with a smile, and although he noticed Gu Changge, he wasn’t in a hurry, instead striking up a conversation with his little sister.

“Of course, I have,” replied Wang Yue, bowing slightly.

“This must be my brother-in-law?”

“Seeing you today, I find you truly extraordinary!”

“I can’t understand how the news previously described the brother-in-law as an incapable cultivator.”

“Ah, rumors are not to be trusted, not at all!”

Then Wang Cheng turned to Gu Changge and greeted him with a fist and palm salute, smiling.

“The Prince is overpraising me.”

“Please, this way.”

Gu Changge also smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for him to enter the estate.

Side by side, with Wang Yue quietly following behind her husband to his left.

Her hand holding his arm.

ELder Gu Liang also followed behind, his status would have warranted him to walk ahead even in the presence of the Prince, but with the Young Master upfront, he chose to stay a step back.

The Stewards went off to arrange accommodations for the Shadow Guards and the temporary residence.

“The rumors I’ve heard are truly the most bizarre.”

“Some even say that it was you, brother-in-law, who killed Wang Yu, isn’t that ridiculous?”

“But rest assured, brother-in-law, I certainly believe you and will clarify this for you.”

As they walked side by side, Wang Cheng chuckled, looking for a topic of conversation.

But upon hearing this, Gu Changge didn’t hesitate and nodded: “That rumor does indeed need to be clarified, since it’s not a rumor at all, because Wang Yu was indeed killed by me.”

Wang Cheng’s steps faltered…

He looked at him with some astonishment.

Gu Changge simply continued to chuckle, unfazed.

What did this guy mean?

Whether it was him who killed or something related to him, the Northern Domain Royal Family was aware.

His previous statement was meant as a friendly gesture…

But why did he just admit it!?
