Chapter 545: Chapter 269: Choosing the Blessed Land, Little Hanhan Makes a Merit!

When Gu Changge returned to his own palace,

he found Dongfang Mingyue sitting at the desk, seemingly having left her meditation some time ago.

"Where have you been, my husband?"

"Could it be that you went to Wan Hua Valley..."

No sooner had he appeared than Dongfang Mingyue leaped to his side like a kitten, sniffing him twice and examining him closely.

"I just went back to the Northern Domain..."

Gu Changge shook his head helplessly, telling the truth.

"Oh..."

"I thought you had sneakily sought out the Charming Bone girl from Wan Hua Valley."

"I came out of meditation just to hear rumors about you developing a hidden affection while sparring with that Mei’er from Wan Hua Valley, tsk tsk..."

Dongfang Mingyue playfully teased, shaking the Communication Jade Token in her hand.

"Hidden affection?"

"When did this happen, and how come I don’t know about it."

Gu Changge raised his eyebrows slightly. His interaction with the girl from Wan Hua Valley was merely a normal spar, after which he had directly returned to close himself off for meditation.

Moreover, that Su Mei’er gave him a sense of danger.

Although the effect of her Charming Bone on him was minuscule, he still disliked the feeling of being influenced by someone else!

"Don’t know?"

"It’s spread all over Central State, and even the Dongfang Family has received news. This is what my clan informed me about."

Dongfang Mingyue frowned slightly. If her husband had indeed developed feelings for Su Mei’er, there would be little for her to say. After all, she was already his fourth Daoist Couple, so what difference would a fifth or sixth make?

The news from the clan was not meant to notify her; it was purely gossip, with others trying to confirm its accuracy from her.

But now, things didn’t seem quite right.

In her impression, her husband was not someone who would talk nonsense about such matters.

If he had truly fallen for someone, he would have fallen, with no need to deceive her.

"It’s spread everywhere?"

"Tsk..."

"It seems they’re really coveting my body!"

Gu Changge murmured, somewhat surprised himself.

"..."

"Why do I feel like you’re the one with the Charming Bone, and instead she’s the one coveting your body?"

Dongfang Mingyue rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.

Yet the two did not dwell too much on this matter.

With a thought, Gu Changge exchanged for some elixirs:

[Exchange: One Fifth-Grade Root Bone Pill (+100), one Fifth-Grade Comprehension Pill (+100). The elixirs have been delivered to the System Space.]

[Total expenditure: forty million attribute points.]

[Host remaining: one hundred and twenty-six million six hundred thirty-three thousand attribute points.]

After previous lessons, he had learned to be careful.

He decided not to directly exchange for the last Sixth-Grade elixir, but instead to first elevate his Root Bone to the Extreme Dao Body.

It was best for him to be present when the last elixir was refined, to avoid any unexpected accidents.

What if he got delayed by something and was not able to assist in crossing the Tribulation, causing the person to perish under the Heavenly Tribulation?

With a flip of his hand, he took out two wooden boxes and passed them to Dongfang Mingyue.

"Why are you giving me elixirs as soon as I emerge from meditation?"

"This is not appropriate!"

Dongfang Mingyue’s eyes shone as she saw the elixirs, but she pursed her lips, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him toward the room.

Gu Changge had grown accustomed to her temperament.

With a slight smile, he took the initiative to carry the princess in his arms and walked into the room.

Although the rooms in this palace were specially made and Divine Sense could not see through them, he still habitually set up several barriers for privacy.

...

Several days later,

Dongfang Mingyue emerged content with the elixirs and continued her meditation.

She declared her intent to take advantage of the elixirs to directly breakthrough to the Perfection of the Seventh-Grade Infinite Realm!

"I guess I’ll have to return to the Northern Domain in another two months..."

"Nowadays, my meditation sessions last a bit long."

As Gu Changge pondered whether to enter a short meditation, the Saint Heir Token at his waist emitted a faint light.

It was the Sect summoning him.

"It seems that the matter of the Gu Family’s relocation to Central State has been settled."

Gu Changge’s eyes brightened, immediately guessing the reason for the Sect’s summons.

Without any delay, he headed to the main hall of the Sword Sect.

Along the way, Sword Sect disciples who saw him bowed respectfully with a greeting: "Senior Brother Gu!" or simply said "Greetings, Saint Heir!"

Even the Sword Sect Elders in the Sage Realm greeted him with a polite bow.

Though he was still in the Ninth-Grade Annihilation Realm, if one spoke of his actual combat strength, he probably was not weaker than any Sage Realm expert!

And as for his value and role, it was not less significant than any Land Immortal from the Land Immortal Realm!

The Sword Sect could not afford to let him suffer even the slightest mishap, and whether they could count on his help to overcome Tribulation and usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity for the Sword Sect depended on his growth!

Quickly, he arrived at the main hall, encountering no obstructions en route.

Upon entering the hall, he found that the Ancestor seemed to have arrived a while ago.

"Greetings, Sect Master, greetings to all the Elders."

Gu Changge bowed to Wu Hen Monarch seated on the high platform and saluted those around him.

As for the Ancestor, they exchanged a glance, with no further words.

"You previously applied to the Sect for a piece of land within the Sword Sect’s territory for the Gu Family."

"We have now picked out a few locations for you, choose one that satisfies you."

"All of these places are rich in Spiritual Energy, which are far superior to ordinary second-rate forces if put outside, and are almost as concentrated as first-rate forces."

"Moreover, this place is not too far from our Sword Sect Mountain Gate, just less than ten thousand miles away; the Sword Sect can also provide support for any matters."

Wu Hen Monarch nodded slightly, signaling, then directly spoke.
