In less than half a day, the four great sacred lands of Central State had already discussed and reached their decisions.
And the news was relayed back to the four Sage Realm Elders in the Northern Domain's Qingzhou.
Sword Sect's Elder Jian Chen, upon reading the letter from the Sect, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Seeing the curious gaze of the Old Blind Man, he didn't conceal anything.
With a rueful expression, he said, "Daoist Fellow Xue truly has a sharp eye. This time, he will likely rise in status upon returning to the Sect. Once he breaks through to the Sage Realm, becoming a Sword Sect Elder will be nothing remarkable."
"Sect Master's edict states that if Little Friend Gu is willing to join the Sword Sect, he can directly enjoy the same treatment as the First Saint Son Peak!"
"Furthermore, he can choose any one Magic Treasure from the Sword Sect Treasure Vault!"
"Any other conditions and requests he has will all be fully satisfied!"
"In addition to this..."
"He will also have the opportunity to study under a Supreme Elder. Of course… if he does not wish to take a master, the Supreme Elder will still provide him with some guidance. But surely, no one would refuse to have a Land Immortal Realm mentor as a backer."
"You must understand what this means!"
Sage Jian Chen was moved even while speaking of the Sect Master's promises!
Any one of these was beyond what he dared to imagine!
The treatment of the First Saint Son Peak was far superior to that of an Elder like himself!
Choose any one from the treasure vault... That was tantamount to freely selecting a Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure!
Of course, what Sage Jian Chen envied the most was receiving guidance from a Supreme Elder!
All those Holy Land Supreme Elders were invincible Great Powers at the Land Immortal Realm!
In this world, calling them 'invincible' posed no problem at all!
Being taken in as their disciple, even the risk of perishing midway through one's journey was greatly reduced!
After all, not everyone had the audacity to lay hands on the disciples of those old Land Immortal Realm monsters.
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, the Old Blind Man couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
He himself had intended to seek some additional benefits to prevent the Young Master from being taken advantage of due to his inexperience.
But now, it seemed he was needlessly worried!
The Young Master had merely shown his talent and already needed no one to fight for benefits on his behalf—the sacred land would pull out all the stops to recruit him!
Compared to what he originally thought he should ask for,
the conditions now proposed by the Sword Sect were insignificant!
Unnoticed, he hadn't even reacted to Elder Jian Chen addressing him as Tributor Xue before.
But now...
He had already switched to calling him Daoist Fellow Xue!
Of course, it was not because of anything he himself had done, but all because of the otherworldly talents the Young Master had shown!
"Daoist Fellow Xue, if there is any dispute tomorrow, you must not forget your status!"
"If this is accomplished, you will be the chief merit-holder; the Sword Sect will not treat you poorly!"
"Sage Realm is within reach!"
"The position of an Elder is ready at hand!"
Sage Jian Chen stared seriously at his murky eyes, earnestly saying.
"The Young Master... I will do my best."
The Old Blind Man had intended to say the Young Master had his own ideas but seeing his earnestness, he changed his words.
"That is good," nodded Jian Chen.
That night, he settled down in that courtyard. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He got along famously with the Old Blind Man and even began to imagine the glorious scene of Young Master Gu shining brightly in the Sword Sect, with both of them rising through the ranks.
The Old Blind Man even felt a bit giddy listening to it.
But he believed that what Jian Chen spoke of would ultimately come to pass, as the Young Master had always proven even more rebellious than imagined; perhaps Jian Chen's fantasy wouldn't even be enough to match the Young Master's real achievements!
...
Apart from Jian Chen, the other three Central State Sages who came to the Gu Family had also received replies from their respective sects as soon as possible.
They each had a clear objective.
They were only waiting for the next day to visit Young Master Gu again!
Though each held a not insignificant status in Central State, today in the Northern Domain, they could only act respectfully, even if it meant waiting for a junior...
And yet, they dared not show the slightest displeasure.
If any mishap occurred due to their actions, pushing the other party into another sacred land's arms,
the punishment they faced upon returning would be unbearable!
But before the next day had even arrived, the four great sacred lands' personal visits to the Gu Family's Young Master in Qingzhou had already shocked all the powers in the Northern Domain!
The commotion in the main city of the Gu Family today spread incredibly fast, and the Gu Family had no need to conceal it—after all, it was good news!
Especially for the Heavenly Cold Sect and the Northern Domain Royal Family, who were the first to receive the jaw-dropping news!
[Heavenly Cold Sect]
When the news reached the Sect, everyone was dumbfounded.
"All four Central State sacred lands have sent Elders to Qingzhou to see Young Master Gu?"
Wan Shan Taoist listened to the Elder's report and even doubted the authenticity of the news for a moment.
These were the four great sacred lands of Central State!
The Northern Domain Royal Family had been scheming to get in their good graces, but to no avail thus far.
The Heavenly Cold Sect, not being a family-based power, had never even been close to the four great sacred lands.
But now they had all sent people to Qingzhou to see Young Master Gu of the Gu Family?
Even though he had just married the Legitimate Daughter of the Eastern Family in the Central State, that hardly seemed sufficient to merit such attention!
"The old man has already verified the news; it's absolutely certain!"
The Sixth Elder nodded with a serious expression.
"How strange..."
"For what reason?"
"Why would Young Master Gu attract the attention of all four great sacred lands for a meeting?"
"Judging by his natural aptitude, he's nothing more than an Acquired Spirit Body, which shouldn't warrant such attention."
Wan Shan Taoist furrowed his brow, unable to understand the reason.
