180: Chapter 180 Choosing a Day for Ascension and Making Arrangements

After killing the old man, the figure of Immortal King Su Mingchuan vanished into the sky!

But that figure and the power just unleashed left a deep impression on the countless Cultivators below!

"Who was that person? So strong! So terrifying!!"

"Did that person just kill an Immortal?"

"Could that person be from the Gu Family?! Is the Gu Family truly an Immortal Family!!"

"Perhaps it really is! Being able to witness an Immortal take action is our good fortune today!"

Stepping on golden light, overlooking the Desolate Ancient Continent, slaying an Immortal!

In their eyes, only the Gu Family could do such a thing. They all speculated that the person was from the Gu Family, although there was no direct evidence to prove it!

Although they remained skeptical, they couldn't stop these people from embellishing the story!

The discussions spread among these people just like that!

The Gu Family has an Immortal!

On the other side, Immortal King Su Mingchuan had already returned to the back mountain and walked up to Gu Xuan. "Master, that person has been dealt with!"

Then, he recounted everything he had just experienced.

"Strange?"

Hearing this word, Gu Xuan pondered for a moment. But he said he wanted to annex the Immortal Realm?

It seems everything will only be known after Ascension to the Upper Realm!

This Desolate Ancient Continent hasn't been settled yet, and now another strange thing has popped up!

But that's fine; otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do once I reached the Immortal Realm. Eliminating these strange things might even boost my reputation!

Now, the strength of the Gu Family can be said to be completely different from the past, but many matters have not yet been properly arranged and remain chaotic.

Gu Xuan prepared to convene a meeting with these Elders and the Clan Chief so that after his Ascension, they could manage this Family well.

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua and the five Elders were stunned when they received the message!

Clearly, they needed some time to digest the news they had just received!

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua looked at the group and said, "The Old Ancestor is going to Ascend? What will we do?"

His voice carried a hint of uncertainty, and the others didn't respond upon hearing the news.

They didn't know what to say; this news had come too suddenly for them!

Not long after, they arrived at the back mountain one after another.

Gu Xuan was sitting by the lake, having already brewed several cups of tea waiting for them. As they sat down one by one, there was a faint feeling of reluctance in their hearts!

The Old Ancestor had led them from nothing to something, from weak to strong. He hadn't been with them for very long, and now the Old Ancestor was going to Ascend!

Once he ascends, who knows when they will meet again!

They couldn't bear it!

"I called you here to discuss one thing: in a few days, I will Ascend to the Upper Realm." Gu Xuan's tone was no different from usual.

After all, it was just an Ascension, not a life-or-death battle.

The group fell silent for a moment. First Elder Gu Yushan spoke first, "Old Ancestor, this news comes too suddenly. We naturally know that with your cultivation level, it is impossible for you to stay here forever, but..."

They hadn't expected the Old Ancestor to Ascend so soon. Ever since the Old Ancestor started making easy work of enemies, they knew his strength must be heaven-defying!

They just didn't expect that he had already reached the realm of Ascension!

That is an Immortal!

Gu Xuan glanced at him, "I will arrange the affairs of the Gu Family and the Gu Realm before I leave. At that time, the five of you will each be responsible for a section. Who manages supplies, who manages Disciples, who manages the Gu Realm, and who manages the vassal forces—all of this will be decided in advance. I will also prepare the corresponding resources in advance, and the opportunity for Immortal Ascension will naturally not leave you behind."

He paused, "But if anyone wants to go with me, that is also possible, but someone from the Gu Family needs to stay behind to hold down the fort."

Elder Gu Kong stood there for a while before saying, "Old Ancestor, the Gu Family's setup is indeed growing larger and larger, and it really does need someone to hold down the fort! I will stay behind. Anyway, for these old bones of mine, ascending to the Upper Realm is not that urgent!"

The main reason was that he was somewhat reluctant to leave his life here; after all, going to a strange place meant being unfamiliar with everything.

Elder Gu Kong had lived here for over a hundred years and was indeed quite reluctant to leave.

Of course, the most important thing was his good-for-nothing son, Gu Qingshan, who still hadn't gotten married!

Young Lord Gu Chen is almost about to have children himself!

Now, with the Gu Family's strength and prestige, I can look for a woman in this world for Gu Qingshan!

In any case, he is also an Elder of the Gu Family. Looking at that good-for-nothing son, he has to use his power in the Gu Family a little!

Find a good woman for his son!

This way, he would also fulfill a wish, which is to see his son get married!

First Elder Gu Yushan also spoke, "Old Ancestor, I will also stay. The Gu Family really cannot be left without someone watching over it. These old bones of mine can still walk, and while I can still move, it is good to watch over this setup."

The others also expressed that they chose to stay; after all, this is the root of their lives!

Gu Xuan told them not to rush, they could discuss it among themselves later, there was no hurry.

"You discuss it among yourselves. I will make preparations in the Immortal Realm first. You don't need to rush. Wait until I have stabilized things there, then I will arrange for you to come up."

Everyone was somewhat worried about the Old Ancestor, after all, the danger level of the Immortal Realm was still unknown!

Their cultivation level after Ascension was also uncertain!

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua said worriedly, "Old Ancestor, the Immortal Realm is full of dangers. You must take care of your health when you get there!"

Everyone knelt on one knee, praying for the Old Ancestor to take care of his health!

Gu Xuan was left speechless by their actions. What on earth is all this?!

Once I use the Ascension to the Upper Realm Construction Card!

That is an existence comparable to an Immortal Emperor. At that point, I could Cultivate even while lying down. They actually made it seem like I would become an ordinary person after Ascending?

Although he was a bit helpless about their actions, he didn't expose them.

After all, although these people weren't great, they did have some feelings.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard!

Gu Chen ran very fast and quickly arrived.

He walked up to Gu Xuan, his breath not yet fully steady, and asked, "Old Ancestor, I heard you are going to Ascend?"

His tone carried a hint of uncontrollable excitement!

Gu Xuan glanced at him, not answering his question immediately, but instead asked, "How is Ru Shuang doing recently?"

Gu Chen paused, as if taken by surprise by the question: "She's doing quite well, just a bit sleepy these past two days."

He paused, "Old Ancestor, when the time comes, can you...? Can you take me with you?"

Just then, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua said, "You brat, you are too reckless. Who knows if you will cause trouble for the Old Ancestor after Ascending? You had better stay in the Lower Realm and settle down!"

"No! I still want to follow the Old Ancestor and see the Immortal Realm!"

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

Gu Xuan's tone was casual. With an Immortal King upon Ascending to the Upper Realm, there basically wouldn't be any major problems.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"

Hearing the Old Ancestor say this, Gu Chen was overjoyed. Clearly, the Old Ancestor had agreed, and he immediately ran off!

He was afraid that Clan Leader Gu Tianhua would lecture him. After all, the decision-making power was in the Old Ancestor's hands. As long as the Old Ancestor nodded, he didn't care at all about his father's opinion!

Anyway, he can't beat me!

"That brat just ran off!" The expression on Clan Leader Gu Tianhua's face softened a bit; clearly, the Old Ancestor had a foolproof plan.

Presumably, after Ascending to the Upper Realm, they would be able to develop rapidly!
