"He’s like that, no need to take it to heart."
"Having lived far too long, each day has now beco a tornt for him."
"Moreover, seeing no opportunities at all..."
"If I were in his situation, I probably would have made the sa choice."
As the True Monarch Ancestor lay back down in the black coffin, another observed Gu Changge’s slight discomfort and said with a light laugh,
"Don’t worry, your situation as the Old Man Qingfeng is quite similar to mine."
"Though our lifespans are not much longer, at least we have not yet reached the point of essence blood exhaustion. That elixir the lad gave you is enough for you to live a second life."
"When the ti cos, both of us, as True Monarchs, will set foot in Central State and carve out a golden age for our Gu Family there!"
Knowing that Gu Changge wouldn’t make hasty decisions, Gu Haitang refrained from discussing the matter of the True Monarch Ancestor.
Instead, he focused on the one before him, who still had hope!
With the boy’s miraculous elixir, one could forge the Talent of Dao Body, earnestly taking another step forward, attempting to break into the True Monarch Realm!
"Is that elixir really that miraculous?"
"In the past, I consud all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could enhance one’s Root Bone."
"Even so, I barely reached the Talent Spirit Body."
Gu Qingfeng, upon hearing the elixir brought up, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly. If it weren’t for Gu Haitang, this old man who had already made a breakthrough to the True Monarch Realm, telling him this, he wouldn’t believe it for a mont!
"If you don’t believe, then just lie back down and wait to die."
Before Gu Changge could speak up, the Ancestor said sternly, his whiskers puffing.
To actually question that lad’s elixir?
"It’s just too incredible..." Ancestor Qingfeng gave an embarrassed chuckle, but one couldn’t bla him for his disbelief. It was a tall tale!
"This ti, this Old Man Qingfeng will return with us to Central State..."
"As for the matter of the elixir, it’s not urgent. Whenever you’ve got the ti to prepare it for him, it won’t be late."
"This old fellow’s lifespan might not be much, but he can still last a few more years."
Gu Haitang curled his lip and couldn’t be bothered to explain any further. He knew once the Ancestor took the elixir, he would understand its wonder!
"Alright, I will prepare the elixir for Old Man Qingfeng once we get to Central State."
At those words, Gu Changge gave a slight nod of his head. He could exchange for the elixir right now, but certainly wouldn’t be able to keep up with refining it within the Gu Family.
It would be better to wait until they got to the Central State Sword Sect, where the old man could retreat and refine in his First Saint Son Peak, leveraging refining alchemy to attempt breaking into the True Monarch Realm, and even make use of the Sect’s Ascension Platform to overco the True Monarch tribulation!
"Enough talk for now."
"When it’s ti to set out, I will inform you."
Gu Haitang, having said this, turned and gestured with his hand to leave the place with Gu Changge.
"Youth, I take my leave." Gu Changge slightly bowed to the Ancestor seated in the black coffin before following along.
Watching the two figures leave, Gu Qingfeng, the Perfected True Man Realm Ancestor of the Gu Family, couldn’t help but be lost in thought.
"Truly, fortune defying heaven..."
"I thought my only purpose in life was to defend the Gu Family until my lifespan neared its end, resolving so troubles for the clan before I died."
"I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to break through to the True Monarch Realm after all!"
For a long ti, until he could no longer see their figures, he then recovered his senses, looking up into the sky, he couldn’t help but voice his emotions!
Looking over at the black coffin beside him, his gaze revealed a hint of helplessness.
What a pity, he had caught up with an opportunity, but this ancestor, who predated him by thousands of years, seed beyond help now, his life force faded, and it was much more than just having little lifespan left!
Wishing for more was useless. He didn’t lie back down in the black coffin but instead began operating his Cultivation Technique, drawing in Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth to replenish his body, ready at any mont to receive the summons and go to Central State, to live his second life!
...
Underneath the pavilion, an old and a young man sat opposite each other.
Gu Haitang was about to pick up a Tea Cup when Gu Changge, seeing this, promptly picked it up and poured a cup of tea for the Ancestor, not yet having touched his own.
"Do you find it hard to accept?"
"Taking action against a clansman?"
Gu Haitang sipped his tea and casually asked.
At that question, Gu Changge gave a slight nod. Indeed, he sowhat struggled with the idea.
To earn Attribute Points, he could massacre Demon Beasts outside Duanbei City; he could exterminate a family, like he had done with the Wu Family, but there was a cause for that.
However, to kill his own ancestor for Attribute Points was truly sothing he couldn’t accept.
"But... you must understand, what if you weren’t there?"
"The three of us had already discussed it. When his lifespan was nearing an end, the other two would go to the Northern Territory Imperial City to exchange as much as they could."
"I could protect the Gu Family from the retaliation of the Imperial City."
"By then, our Northern Domain Gu Family might not beco the leaders of the Northern Territory, but we could avoid the calamity of the Imperial City!"
"But now, the threat of the Imperial City doesn’t exist, and he has no other opportunities."
"What he seeks is just to do more for the Gu Family, to make the Gu Family’s life better."
"Being killed by you is the best choice there is."
Gu Haitang still didn’t give up, hoping to persuade.
"If that day really cos, we will talk then."
"At the very least, it’s not as if there’s absolutely no chance now."
Gu Changge listened and then shook his head in denial.
He did crave Attribute Points, but not to such an extent.
The other had defended the Gu Family for thousands of years, and he should kill him just for Attribute Points?
If possible, he actually hoped the other could beco a pillar for the Gu Family.
After all, with his current pace of breakthroughs, before the old ancestor could achieve Ascension, he was sure to have beco a Human Immortal himself.
