[Realm: Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm (60/100)]

During this period, he had taught the Divine Concealment Secret Technique to Wang Yue, but thus far she had not yet mastered it.
His Cultivation was, however, about to touch the bottleneck of the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm.
Meanwhile, Yuan Youbai had been gradually about to awaken these days, already reaching the peak of Perfection in the Ruins Realm and could possibly break through to the Void Refinement Realm at any moment!
“In the next few days, I should exchange some more Elixirs for Yue’er, and also take the opportunity to increase my own Root Bone to a value of five hundred.”
Gu Changge thought to himself but suddenly heard a transmission of sound beside his ear.
“Ancestor?”
He was slightly taken aback, glanced at the meditating Wang Yue and the sleeping Youbai, and went straight toward the Back Mountain.
The Ancestor transmitting a message to him was not unexpected.
He had even guessed that the Ancestor this time likely brought back a Demon Beast for him!
However, the timing seemed rather long.
He had visited the Back Mountain not long ago, and the Maze had not dissipated; unless the Ancestor did not wish to see him, it meant the Ancestor had left the Gu Family.
Given the current situation, it was highly unlikely that the Ancestor would intentionally avoid him, so it must be the latter.
But with the Ancestor’s strength, a trip to Duanbei City to fetch a Demon Beast shouldn’t have taken this long.
With doubts in his heart, he had already arrived at the foot of the Back Mountain.
Sensing his arrival, the Old Blind Man came up to greet him with respectful salutations: “Congratulations, young master.”
“How is Senior Xue’s injury?”
Gu Changge knew he was referring to the previous transmission of power and asked with a light laugh and a nod about the old injury.
“It’s nothing serious.”
“It has already healed by seventy percent; the rest does not need to be dealt with and will slowly recover on its own.”
Facing the young master’s concern, the Old Blind Man showed a flattered expression, rolling up his sleeve to show his arm to the young master.
Though it no longer looked as frightening, one could still see the obvious burn traces.
Looking at that arm, Gu Changge silently acknowledged Senior Xue’s favor to him.
After chatting for a bit more, he invited him to go to the Back Mountain together but was declined by the Old Blind Man.
“As an outsider, the Old Blind Man frequently visiting the Gu Family’s Back Mountain is improper.”
“I’ll go back to the courtyard then; if the young master has any tasks, I can be summoned anytime.”
The Old Blind Man tactfully bid farewell and returned to the courtyard,
watching the young master ascend the mountain.
He was a clever person, and the young master was even more so.
Walking in the mountain, Gu Changge also knew that Senior Xue had intentionally shown his arm to make him aware of his sacrifice.
Even though he was aware of his little scheme, Gu Changge didn’t mind it; favor was still favor after all.
Soon, when he arrived in front of the Maze, the Maze naturally opened a path for him to enter.
Upon reaching the familiar place, the Ancestor was quite different this time, not fishing, but sitting in the pavilion.
“Ancestor.”
Gu Changge approached respectfully to salute, then casually asked, “Why is the Ancestor not fishing today?”
“Hehe…”
“The fish are spooked; they’re not biting.”
“I went out for a while during this time and also fetched a few suitable Demon Beasts for you, young fellow.”
As he spoke, the Ancestor lightly pointed towards the small lake, and the surface suddenly parted, revealing three Demon Beasts suppressed at the bottom of the lake by chains made of Spiritual Energy!
“Great Demons of the Ninth Grade!”
Gu Changge’s pupils shrank at the sight, then he rejoiced immediately.
Three Ninth Grade Great Demons—that’s a total of three hundred thousand Attribute Points!
He really struck it rich this time!
“Take a look, do these three Demon Beasts suit your needs?”
Gu Haitang saw his pleased expression and sighed in relief but still asked.
“They’ll do!” Gu Changge nodded decisively.
“Do you need me to assist you?”
Gu Haitang glanced at the Demon Beasts locked by Spiritual Energy at the bottom of the lake, asking casually.
These three Demon Beasts were carefully selected by him with manageable size, suitable to be brought back to the Gu Family.
Furthermore, uncertain of what state of Demon Beast Gu Changge needed, he had not harmed them at all, knocking them unconscious with powerful Spiritual Energy before bringing them back intact.
Now that the three Demon Beasts had awoken, and the lake parted in that instant,
they adopted a prostrating posture in terror, and one of them even spoke in human tongue, albeit not quite fluently, but one could make out what it said, “We submit…”
For an old monster above the Ninth Grade to strike at them,
these Ninth Grade Great Demons were genuinely terrified!
They didn’t even dare to make much noise, fearing to provoke the displeasure of this Sage and be killed with a flick of his hand.
Unfortunately, they still thought the other party wanted to subjugate them.
Little did they know, by coming to the Gu Family, their fate was already sealed.
Pleading was futile.
“Just leave them with a breath for me to deal the finishing blow.”
“To obtain the Origin, there are no other requirements; just the last hit is enough.”
Gu Changge then realized that the Ancestor had brought the three Demon Beasts back completely unharmed.
He simply bowed and spoke, suggesting that the Ancestor wouldn’t have to go through this much trouble next time.
“Is it that convenient?”
Gu Haitang nodded slightly, realizing that this young man’s innate Divine Ability was even more heaven-defying than he had thought.
Just by delivering the final blow, he could obtain their Life Origin.
Thus, he simply brought his fingers together and made a few slashing motions with his sword fingers.
Instantly, the three Demon Beasts let out an array of screams, but annoyed, he waved his hand and released a wave of Spiritual Energy that knocked them unconscious again!
After he had casually finished handling it,
the three Demon Beasts were already gutted open, their skins breached without damaging any of their organs,
even their beating hearts visible.
“Will this do?” Gu Haitang asked, turning to him.
Gu Changge, seeing this, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “Brilliant!”
This was incredibly convenient!
Only the Ancestor could do such a thing!
