Chapter 264: The Holy Land Shakes, Why Need to Draw In When Mei'er is Present?

The Holy Land Shakes, Why Need to Draw In When Mei'er is Present?

Facing the curious gaze of the two, Gu Changge simply explained the matter in a few words.

"Husband, you really are something."

Wang Yue was momentarily stunned after listening and silently gave a thumbs up.

That was an Elder from the Central State Holy Land!

Husband had simply said he needed to come back to sleep and left them hanging.

Even if those four had arrived in the Imperial City, Father Emperor would have to courteously host them, not daring to show the slightest displeasure.

Even more so, she had heard that Father Emperor had always wanted to send the Crown Prince into one of the Four Great Sacred Lands.

If these four Elders visited, Father Emperor would have to serve them with smiles, and who knows, he might even be able to secure a spot for the Crown Prince!

But here with Husband, even the promise of the Saint Heir's position could not sway him in the slightest.

"How could they not compete?"

Gu Changge just smiled lightly, he had already planned everything.

What he wanted was to incite conflict among the Four Great Sacred Lands.

As for today's unexpected revelation of talents, it was beyond his expectations.

However, it was also not a big problem, his Divine Concealment Secret Technique would not fail.

Even if those people suspected, it was useless, instead, it would make them more eager to win him over.

"Husband is really amazing..."

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

Yuan Youbai listened very seriously, staring at Husband with twinkling stars in his eyes!

His admiration was evident on his face!

Even Mother, when facing these Elders from the Holy Lands, was extremely cautious!

It's best not to provoke them if possible!

But Husband didn't even need to take these Elders into consideration!

"Mother's situation..." Suddenly she thought of her mother and asked anxiously.

"We haven't had the chance to talk about it."

"But don't worry, I remember well."

Seeing Little Hanhan showing a worried expression, Gu Changge couldn't help but rub his head.

With his comfort, Little Hanhan felt much more at ease. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

"What do you plan to do next, Husband?"

Wang Yue held her pretty face and asked Husband.

"Wait," said Gu Changge with a slight smile.

Wang Yue tilted her head, "Wait?"

"Wait for the right price..." nodded Gu Changge slightly.

Listening to this, Wang Yue could not help but marvel inwardly.

Just now, the Sword Sect had already promised Husband a Heavenly Grade Top Flying Sword.

Still not satisfied...

If they want to please Husband, perhaps they need to bring out another Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure?

Such treasures, probably aren't common in Central State.

...

On the other hand, Jian Chen followed the Old Blind Man to the foot of the Back Mountain.

He didn't enter the courtyard directly but instead bowed towards the direction of the Back Mountain: "Sorry to intrude."

Even though there was no response, he followed the Old Blind Man into the courtyard.

He could sense the Perfect True Man Realm of the person in the Back Mountain.

The foundation of the Gu Family is extraordinary.

Even in Central State, at least considered a second-tier power, it's a pity that it lacks a Moon Unification True Monarch to be comparable to a first-tier family in Central State.

As for the Dongfang Family, in the status of Central State, they are already a top-tier family, a heritage of one hundred thousand years, surpassed only by the Four Great Sacred Lands, a transcendental existence.

"This is a great accomplishment for Tributor Xue this time."

"If Young Master Gu is willing to choose our Sword Sect, I think the Sect will surely award the Elixir and enough time in the Cultivation Tower to help Daoist Fellow Xue break through to the True Man Realm."

Sitting in the courtyard, Jian Chen spoke with a smile.

"I naturally also hope that the young master will join the Sword Sect."

Old Blind Man chuckled, now he did not care about such things.

Staying by the young master's side was what mattered most.

Haven't you heard that even Daoist Fellow Gu Kuang, who exhausted his Essence Blood, was on the brink of death, the young master had helped him successfully break through to Ninth Grade.

He himself didn't need to worry about failing to break through to the True Man Realm in the future.

"Extreme Dao Body..."

"The last appearance was probably ten thousand years ago, already ascended to a Human Immortal."

Jian Chen sighed deeply, really not expecting such a surprise this time.

But it was also troublesome.

He thought the benefits already promised were sufficient to draw this Talent of Dao Body.

However, as it appears now, probably not enough.

The other three Holy Lands would not give up easily.

Even the Buddhist Sect would be tempted at this point!

"The young master's talent is rarely seen in the world," said the Old Blind Man quietly.

During the talent testing in the Council Hall just now, when the flower bloomed its fifth petal and eventually turned to ash, although the Elders of the Four Great Sacred Lands might not think of the Sacred Body…

The Old Blind Man felt that there was a seventy percent chance that the young master truly had the previously unreachable talent of the Sacred Body...

The young master didn't mention it, and he wouldn't reveal these speculations either.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the young master.

Now, even if the young master does not choose the Sword Sect, he is very willing to give up his position as a Tributor to follow the young master.

Of course...

If the young master chooses to join Wan Hua Valley, then he probably would not be able to follow since Wan Hua Valley doesn't accept male disciples, nor male Tributors.

If the young master's talent wasn't so astonishing, it would not have caught the attention of Wan Hua Valley.

"Could Daoist Fellow Xue speak more about this Young Master Gu?"

Jian Chen nodded slightly without further ado, as he sent the message back to Central State, he sought to learn more about Gu Changge from the Old Blind Man.

If he knew his personality and preferences, he could better cater and attract him!

On the other hand, the other three guests, after leaving the Gu Family, found places outside the city and reported back to the Central State Sects as soon as possible.

The Master of Orchid Valley especially detailed the testing of the five-petal flower, mentioning that after the flower bloomed five petals, she felt it hadn't reached its limit before the petals withered into ashes.

She was curious why this had happened, hoping to get a reply from the Master of Wan Hua Valley.

[Central State · Sword Sect]

Sect Master Wu Hen Monarch, upon viewing the simple few sentences on the Communication Jade Token, couldn’t help but his pupils shrink.

Many Sage Realm Elders inside the hall noticed this scene and couldn’t help but frown with immense curiosity.

At the level of Sect Master, very few things could cause such a loss of composure.

Even the news from a few days ago about the appearance of Talent of Dao Body in the Northern Domain didn’t surprise the Sect Master to such an extent.

“Take a look for yourselves.”

Wu Hen Monarch didn’t wait for their questions and directly revealed the characters from the Communication Jade Token with Spiritual Energy right in front of him.

[Northern Domain Gu Family’s Young Master Gu Changge, his talent has reached the Extreme Dao Body, surpassing the First Saint Son.]

[Additionally: In the test by Wan Hua Valley, a five-petal flower bloomed bright dazzling gold and withered rapidly after opening five blooms.]

[The other three sects have now also arrived and may spare no expense to win him over. Please make your decision, Sect Master.]

Looking at those three lines of message, the many Elders present felt as if their minds had exploded.

They all showed expressions of disbelief!

“Extreme Dao Body!”

These four words had too much significance!

The current First Saint Son was already unmatched in talent, in just a thousand years, he had cultivated to the Moon Unification True Monarch Realm, wholeheartedly in seclusion and rushing towards the Land Immortal Realm!

Within Sword Sect, his status was extraordinary; only the Supreme Elder personally instructed him, and even the Sect Master was not qualified to meddle with him.

But even the First Saint Son could not be described with the phrase Extreme Dao Body!

Was the talent of the Northern Domain Gu Family’s Young Master truly so terrifying?

This was no longer just once in a millennium talent, but a peerless genius that was hard to come by even in ten thousand years!

Once he grew up, he would surely dominate an era.

If they could bring him into Sword Sect, first with the First Saint Son dominating for several generations, by the time the First Saint Son ascended to Human Immortal, surely he would have grown to immeasurable heights.

Sword Sect would then be able to firmly suppress the other Three Great Sacred Lands, becoming the undisputed head of the Four Great Sacred Lands!

At that moment, all the Elders couldn’t help but get excited.

“No matter the price, we must have this child join our Sword Sect!”

“Let him be personally taught by the Supreme Elder. His achievements could surpass the current First Saint Son!”

“Our Sword Sect will then truly surpass the other Sacred Lands!”

Immediately, Elders stood up to express their opinions.

Hearing this, the other Elders also nodded in agreement.

Compared to these Elders, Sect Master Wu Hen Monarch was clearly a lot more composed.

Although he was shocked by the prospect of such unimaginable talent, he was caught in thought about the withered five-petal flower that released a golden light.

With his understanding of Wan Hua Valley, even for an Extreme Dao Body, the flower should have just opened five blooms.

Why would it wither all of a sudden…

And release a golden light?

This was not normal!

A possibility that he deemed impossible faintly arose in his mind…

Could it be that the talent of the Gu’s youngster was not just the Extreme Dao Body but had gone a step further… A Saint Body Talent?

But as soon as this thought appeared, he dismissed it himself.

Even in the records of Sword Sect, there had never been a real Sacred Body individual.

Whether Sacred Bodies truly existed in the world was still an unknown.

Many people even thought the rumor was false, but there was no way to prove it, as nobody had actually seen one.

After pondering for a moment, he also sent a message to Elder Jian Chen:

[If he is willing to join Sword Sect, promise that he can become a disciple of the Supreme Elder and enjoy the privileges of First Saint Son Peak.]

[Moreover, he can choose a Magic Treasure from the Treasure Vault regardless of Grade.]

[Aside from this, all promises made by Sword Sect can be met, and he must be made to join Sword Sect.]

Regardless, an Extreme Dao Body was a talent that could not be overlooked.

Regarding his decision, of course, the many Elders had no objections.

However, Wu Hen Monarch’s figure disappeared in an instant; he needed to search for any records about the five-petal flower to confirm that impossible hunch in his heart!

…

[Central State · Buddhist Sect]

Looking at the message sent back by Heartless Buddha, many Buddhas also felt complicated emotions.

Even the Buddha Master was moved by it.

“If this child could join our Buddhist Sect and earnestly cultivate the Buddhist teachings, his achievements would be unmeasurable.”

“But although our Buddhist Sect does not strictly require everyone to be without a Daoist Couple, if one wishes to become a Buddha Son… it is doubtful.”

A Buddha shook his head helplessly after reading the message, considering the complexity of the requirements to become a Buddha Son.

“What’s the problem?”

“I, for one, think that the Gu family’s Young Master is fated with our Buddhist Sect.”

“Fate comes naturally, and if he had a Daoist Couple before encountering our Buddhist Sect, how can we disqualify him from reaping the fruits with our Sect just because of his past faults?”

Immediately, other Buddhas voiced different opinions.

All the Buddhas turned their gaze towards the lofty Buddha Master, quietly waiting for his decision.

At that moment, the Buddha Master’s heart was also full of conflict.

To speak frankly, how could they not be tempted by such a talent?

But if they really took him into the Buddhist Sect and established him as a Buddha Son, wouldn’t they be disregarding the sect’s rules?

After a long deliberation.

The Buddha Master straightforwardly replied with a message with glittering gold characters:

[Regardless of the conditions other sects offer, the Buddhist Sect will align with the highest standard. If fate allows, he will naturally join the Buddhist Sect. If not fated, no coercion.]

In the end, he had made a decision.

Seeing this, the other Buddhas said no more and joined their hands in prayer, chanting a Buddha’s name.

…

[Central State · Immortal Ascension Sect]

Sect Master True Monarch Bai received the Communication Jade Token from the Immortal Crane, and after reading the content, he fell into silence.

Many Elders at the mountain peak frowned upon seeing this.

Thinking there had been some mistake.

But as they read the content of the message, each of them was moved.

“Sect Master, we, the Immortal Ascension Sect, definitely cannot miss out on this child.”

“Sword Sect already has a Saint Heir of the First Peak with an Innate Sword Body. If they acquire this child as well, it’s likely that for at least ten thousand years there will be no surpassing them.”

“At that point, many young prodigies of Central State will, due to the influence of these two with the Talent of the Dao Body, likely choose the Sword Sect first.”

“Over time, this poses a huge threat to our Immortal Ascension Sect.”

The two Elders stood up expressing their views immediately.

They were responsible for the recruitment of disciples every five years.

Over the years, their feelings had become most apparent.

Because of that First Saint Heir from Sword Sect, the choices of the younger generation were already being influenced.

If there were to be an additional genius from Sword Sect, the impact would be even greater!

Even to the point where our Immortal Ascension Sect may need to choose from the leftovers of Sword Sect’s younger generation in the future.

“Some may know of the Ninth Saint Heir, Wu Jiang who had a conflict with him.”

True Monarch Bai remained silent, listening to them finish speaking, then sighed and said.

“Is that so?”

Most of the Elders, upon hearing this, were confused.

How could that Ninth Saint Heir have conflicts with a Young Master from the barren lands of the Northern Domain?

However, some well-informed Elders nodded slightly, indicating they had heard something.

“In that case, this is disadvantageous for our Immortal Ascension Sect…”

“If this child holds resentment, he most likely won’t choose our Immortal Ascension Sect.”

“Would this Ninth Saint Heir really create such trouble, deliberately finding faults with a Young Master from such a barren Northern Domain, and why such precision?”

Many Elders frowned slightly, finding the matter complicated after knowing the details.

“Actually, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.”

“Perhaps, it could turn into an advantage for our Immortal Ascension Sect.”

It was the Law Enforcement Elder who, having been silent all along, suddenly spoke, surprising everyone.

“How so?” someone asked, puzzled.

“The Ninth Saint Heir, Wu Jiang… talent-wise, he’s the weakest among the many Saint Heirs.”

“In terms of background, he’s also not much in the grand scheme of things.”

“It’s purely because he had a stroke of luck before that he managed to squeeze into the position of a Saint Heir.”

“Why doesn’t our Immortal Ascension Sect use Wu Jiang as a bargaining chip to win over Young Master Gu?”

The Law Enforcement Elder spoke indifferently, his words stunning everyone.

They really had never considered that this could be done!

But…

“This approach might not be appropriate.”

“If the Immortal Ascension Sect chooses to abandon a Saint Heir to recruit a genius, how would the other disciples feel?”

“If even a Saint Heir could be easily used as a bargaining chip and discarded, how could they feel secure?”

Most Elders shook their heads in disagreement with this approach.

“Heh…”

“Using a Ninth Saint Heir in exchange for one with an Extreme Dao Body, what’s wrong with that?”

“Besides, what Wu Jiang did was forbidden by the Sect, and now he reaps what he sowed, so why not?”

“Let me ask you all, if Sword Sect were to acquire this genius, would any of you still be able to sleep?”

The Law Enforcement Elder sneered in scorn.

Suddenly, many Elders fell silent.

Their Immortal Ascension Sect was already slightly inferior to the other three holy lands due to the fall of a Dao Body decades ago.

How could they afford to miss out on someone with an Extreme Dao Body now.

“Let’s go with what the Law Enforcement Elder suggested.”

True Monarch Bai, without waiting for further discussion, nodded slightly and sent the message accordingly.

One of the Elders, seeing this, sighed and shook his head.

He decided to find an opportunity to inform Wu Jiang… to fend for himself.

He had deep connections with the Wu Family, and had been the first to speak against it, but since the Sect Master had made a decision, he was powerless to change it.

…

[Central State · Wan Hua Valley]

“What do you all think?”

The master of Wan Hua Valley looked moved, but still first sought the opinions of the other Valley Masters.

“The five-petalled flower withers… emitting a dazzling golden light.”

“This child might…”

“Possibly be the legendary Sacred Body?”

Compared to the other three gates, they understood best their own means.

“Theoretically, that’s the case…”

“But, after all, it’s never happened before.”

The master of Wan Hua Valley nodded slightly. She also wasn’t sure.

In the records of Wan Hua Valley, there had been a case of Extreme Dao Body, back then it was all five blossoms in full bloom.

But there wasn’t any ensuing withering or golden light.

Even now in Central State, it’s hard to test and clarify whether it was a lack of detailed records, or that the Extreme Dao Body was meant to be so.

“Even if we exclude the possibility that it’s a Sacred Body, an Extreme Dao Body…”

“Should still be pursued.”

“I’ve reviewed his information these past few days; that Young Master Gu has several Daoist Couples.”

“Ever since his marriage with the Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect in the Northern Domain a year ago, he has already taken four Daoist Couples.”

“Perhaps, our Wan Hua Valley could be more enticing for him.”

One Sage Realm Valley Master stroked her long hair and smiled slightly.

“If Mei’er were out of seclusion, this would be easy.”

“Just one look from her, and he’d definitely choose to join our Wan Hua Valley.”

Another Valley Master shook her head slightly with a touch of regret.

Upon knowing his talent was of an Extreme Dao Body, the master who usually refused to make exceptions for male disciples to join Wan Hua Valley, had now changed their mind.

Instead, they began to ponder how to entice him.

“When might Mei’er reasonably be out of seclusion?”

The master of Wan Hua Valley also pondered and asked after a moment.

“It’s hard to say, perhaps half a month, or it could be years.”

The master responsible for her seclusion shook her head slightly.

“Half a month… that would definitely be too late.”

The master of Wan Hua Valley frowned slightly, finding it troublesome.

“Actually… our Wan Hua Valley doesn’t necessarily need to have him join as a disciple.”

“Regardless of which power he joins, with Mei’er around, are we afraid that we can’t bind him to us?”

Suddenly, the words of a Sage Realm Fairy enlightened everyone.

Immediately, they all realized they had fallen into a misconception.

“That’s true…”

“It’s not necessary for him to join our Wan Hua Valley.”

“As long as we can bind him to us, that’s enough.”

“We can even reap the benefits of his achievements without needing to invest so many resources in nurturing him.”

The master of Wan Hua Valley immediately had a plan in mind.

She then sent the message back.

To have Sage Orchid make every effort, and if it’s not feasible, even if he doesn’t join Wan Hua Valley, they could still show some goodwill, and plan their next move later!
