126: Chapter 126 Just one more page to become an immortal! Gu Qingshan holds immense power.

In the backyard, the System notification sounded right on time!

[New mission completed: Build the Demon Realm into the Gu Family's second base and recruit 100,000 Disciples!]

[Rewards being distributed: Emperor Summoning Card × 3 (Upgradable) have been received.]

Gu Xuan lay on a lounge chair, and three golden cards appeared in his hand!

Upgradable!

Adding the six he had saved previously, that made nine in total!

He was just one short of synthesizing an Immortal!

"Nine now."

Gu Xuan was naturally quite happy!

If he could get just one more, the Gu Family would be an Immortal family from then on!

He put the cards away, looking forward to the System's next mission!

However, the System remained silent this time!

He was not in a rush!

The System had no new mission, but it would sooner or later!

The path to Immortal Ascension was already in sight!

The 100,000 Disciples were in place, the transformation of the Demon Realm was complete, and the Gu Family's territory had grown even larger!

"Tianhua." Gu Xuan sent a voice transmission.

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was at the front mountain arranging lodging for the new Disciples; upon hearing the transmission, he immediately ran to the backyard.

"Old Ancestor, what is it?"

Gu Xuan looked at him, "The 100,000 Disciples should be divided into two batches. One batch will go to the Demon Realm, and the other will remain at the main mountain. You make the arrangements."

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua nodded, "It has already been arranged! The first batch will depart tomorrow!"

Gu Xuan nodded, "As for the Demon Realm, let Gu Qingshan be in charge. From now on, it shall be called the Gu Realm!"

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua paused for a moment, "The Gu Realm?"

Gu Xuan glanced at him, "It's the Gu Family's world, what else would it be called if not the Gu Realm?"

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua laughed, "Old Ancestor is right!"

He turned and ran off!

Outside the Mountain Gate, as the recruitment ended, the crowd gradually dispersed!

However, many Cultivators remained, sitting cross-legged outside the Mountain Gate, eyes closed as they Cultivate!

The Spiritual Qi here was countless times denser than outside; a single breath was worth a day of Cultivation elsewhere!

Instead of going back, they might as well leech off the Spiritual Qi here!

"Hey, why did it end already? I climbed across half the continent to get here, and it ended before it was even my turn?!"

Many late-arriving Cultivators squatted on the ground, their faces full of disappointment!

"You came too late. They recruited for ten days, and you arrived on the eleventh."

"It's all that spirit ship's fault for moving too slowly! We even encountered a Yao Beast on the way, which delayed us for three days."

"My condolences! Fate is always playing jokes on you!"

The young Cultivator sighed, looking up at the fairyland inside the Mountain Gate, his eyes full of unwillingness!

"I heard that those who passed the trial have treatment even better than Imperial Sons, with Emperor Techniques, resources, and even guidance from a Great Emperor! I haven't even touched the edge of it yet!!"

"Who told you it was better than an Imperial Son? I heard from my great-uncle's uncle's aunt's uncle's uncle that the treatment is ten times better than an Imperial Son!"

"Damn, really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Didn't you see those who passed? They even walk with a swagger!"

The young Cultivator felt even worse and squatted on the ground drawing circles.

Drawing a circle to curse you!

The owner of the chicken-wing rice stall nearby was packing up, smiling as he counted his Spirit Stones!

One, two, three—piles upon piles stacked into a mountain!

He turned his head and shouted to his assistant, "Little Er, we're closing up today! I'm taking you to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to have some fun!"

The assistant's eyes lit up, "Really? Boss, did you strike it rich? You're being so generous!"

The boss puffed out his chest, "That's a given! I'll order two for you today! Let you live it up a bit!"

The assistant was so excited he almost jumped up, "Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss! Two? That's so fulfilling!"

The boss waved his hand, "What's two? I'm ordering five tonight!"

The assistant gave a thumbs up, "Boss is mighty!"

The tall, thin guy selling skewers next to them also packed up, clutching a bulging Storage Pouch to his chest, and walked away humming a tune!

The old man selling tofu pudding slowly packed up his bowls and chopsticks, watching the Cultivators who were still Cultivating, and sighed, "With the Gu Family opening their Mountain Gate like this, it has fed so many people!!"

Outside the Mountain Gate, most of the Cultivators had already left!

Some went back to continue Cultivating, some went elsewhere to seek Opportunity, and some went home to wait for the next chance!

"Let's go."

"Go back and properly Cultivate your state of mind! We'll come again next time."

The young Disciple beside him nodded, "Master, I will definitely pass the trial next time."

"Good! Sincerity leads to spirituality."

The two turned and walked off into the distance!

Their figures gradually disappeared into the vast sea of people!

Meanwhile!

The Gu Realm, a newly born world!

The once barren Demon Realm was now more of a fairyland than a fairyland itself!

Gu Qingshan stood on a mountain peak, looking at this new land; the air was fresh and incredibly comfortable!

"To the left, a bit more to the left! Yes, right there! Dig the foundation of the palace three feet deeper; what if there's an earthquake?"

He held a Jade Slip in his hand, covered in dense architectural blueprints, and shouted to the people below!

The Disciples of those vassal forces were sweating profusely, carrying spirit wood, moving spirit jade, and digging foundations, busy as could be!

But not a single person complained, because the Gu Family gave them simply too much!

This kindness could never be repaid in a lifetime!

Gu Qingshan turned around, walked to a lounge chair nearby, sat down, and crossed his legs!

Li Shuangxu lay on another lounge chair, holding enlightenment tea in his hand, squinting his eyes as he basked in the sun!

This life was indescribably comfortable!

"Brother Qingshan, you're living an even better life than the Young Lord!"

Gu Qingshan laughed, "Isn't that so? The Young Lord is busy taking care of his wife, the Clan Chief is busy being a grandfather, and we two are the most leisure—no! We two are the busiest! Busy as we are, it's comfortable!"

He pointed to the palace complex being built in the distance, "Look over there, the Disciple dormitories are one per person, with spirit jade walls and spirit wood beams, and even equipped with a Spirit Liquid Pool inside! Isn't this more luxurious than the ancestral homes of those Imperial clans in the Central Province?"

Li Shuangxu nodded, "Must be! Whatever the Gu Family does is a masterpiece!"

Gu Qingshan pointed to the other side, "That over there is the Cultivation field, a hundred miles in radius, fully equipped with all kinds of Formations! In the future, Disciples Cultivating here will achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Li Shuangxu exclaimed, "These vassal forces are capable indeed; they built so much in such a short time."

"It's not that they are capable; it's that our Old Ancestor gives too much! Guess how many resources they get for one day of work?"

Li Shuangxu shook his head.

Gu Qingshan held up one finger, "This much."

"One hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones?"

"One thousand! And there are other benefits you can't even finish collecting!"

"If it were you, would you do it?"

Li Shuangxu swallowed his saliva, "I would."

Where would you find these benefits in the Holy Land before!

You might not even get this much in ten years!

Nowadays, you just need to work here for one full day to get this much!

"Exactly! As long as the money is right, there will be people working, and they won't even complain!"

Gu Qingshan lay back down, squinting at the blue sky, feeling wonderful inside!

Truly cozy!!

Before, in the backyard, he served tea and water, waiting on the Old Ancestor!

Now in the Gu Realm, he just moves his lips, and hundreds of people follow his orders!

This is perhaps the taste of power!

It feels so good!!
