Chapter 224

"Everyone, don't panic."

Gu Yuan's voice sounded in the hall, neither hurried nor slow, yet it carried a strange power to calm hearts.

He set down the boundary heart in his hand and lifted his chin at that terrifying figure.

"Let me introduce: this is Wan Yao, also newly appointed as a guest elder of my Gu Family. From now on, for any difficulties with alchemy within this immortal domain, feel free to consult this Wan Yao, the chief steward."

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Long Di's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

An Immortal King has become… a guest elder of the Gu Family? And even a part-time steward?

"Old Wan Yao greets you all, fellow Daoists."

Although Wan Yao, the divine sovereign, has taken over the body of the Twilight Immortal King, the aloof aura unique to an alchemist cannot be concealed.

He slightly cupped his fists; though his posture was polite, the Immortal King's arrogance made everyone want to vanish on the spot.

He actually felt quite pleased.

Especially seeing these true immortals, whom he had never met before and who could only be considered natives in the myriad worlds, reveal their unsophisticated looks, his vanity as chief steward was immensely satisfied.

"Did you see that clearly?"

Gu Yuan tilted his head, looking at those big shots staring at each other,

"My Gu Family has always been hospitable and glad to lend a hand. Senior Wan Yao thinks the environment of our Primordial Immortal Domain is fine, so he deliberately moved here to reside long-term. From now on we'll be neighbors and should look out for each other."

Look out for each other? Who would dare look out for an Immortal King!

With an Immortal King as chief steward, the Gu Family's foundation has become so thick it's suffocating.

Gu Cangsheng sat at the head, tapping the melon seed shells in his hand onto the tabletop.

"What are you all standing for? Does the Gu Family lack chairs for you?"

The rustically dressed Gu Cangsheng waved his hand, and the maids below hurriedly brought over chairs.

Ji Tianyun, Long Di, and a few other true immortals sat down with grim determination, half of their buttocks hanging in the air.

"This Immortal King's grand feast is nominally a celebration of my breakthrough, but frankly it's a welcome banquet for Old Brother Wan Yao."

Gu Cangsheng lifted his teacup, blew away the foam, and said, 'Someone of such lofty stature as an Immortal King–level alchemist deigning to come to our poor, remote backwater as chief steward is a fortune for our Primordial Immortal Domain.'

The Primordial Divine Sovereign's forehead was drenched in sweat, which trickled down his cheeks and splashed onto the blue stone slabs.

He dared not wipe it.

An Immortal King–level alchemist? A poor, remote backwater? When did our Primordial Immortal Domain become a poor, remote backwater?

"Exactly as the ancestor said," Long Di replied dryly.

Gu Yuan sat at the side, holding a piece of pastry in his hand, and took a slow, deliberate bite.

"Today I summoned you all; collecting gifts is secondary."

Gu Cangsheng set down his teacup, looked around, and said, 'The main purpose is to announce a great business to the myriad heavens.'

Those below pricked up their ears.

The Gu Family's appetite now cannot be satisfied by a single immortal domain.

"Moving house," Gu Cangsheng spat out two words.

Ji Tianyun raised his head, his face full of confusion.

The Primordial Immortal Domain is already the center of this universe; where could the Gu Family possibly move to?

"It's not the Gu Family moving; it's about bringing the great outer world into our Primordial Immortal Domain."

Several gasps echoed in the hall.

Moving an entire world?

One could imagine it's the Gu Family…

It actually seems reasonable.

After all, they just moved two not long ago.

"It's a place called Sanqian Zhou."

Gu Lin Tian stood up and walked to the center of the hall,

"The place is huge, about on par with our Primordial Immortal Domain. Moreover…"

He deliberately drew out his tone.

"That place, the ground is littered with immortal material."

As soon as he said that, the previously timid sect leaders' eyes all turned red.

Immortal material.

These four words are more tempting to cultivators than seeing mountains of gold and silver is to mortals.

The Primordial Immortal Domain would even fight tooth and nail over a single life‑extending divine herb.

Now the Gu Family tells them there's a world where the ground is covered with this stuff?

The newly replaced body of the Withered Wood Ancestor began to tremble.

He already lacks no lifespan.

The nightmare of nearly exhausting his lifespan still torments him to this day.

His craving for immortal material is etched into his bones.

"Gu Family head, are these words true?" the Withered Wood Ancestor's voice trembled.

"The Gu Family never speaks empty words."

Gu Lin Tian stood with his hands behind his back,

"Do you all still remember those two continents of my Gu Family?""

You mean...

That's right. Those two prefectures are just two of Sanqian Zhou.

That Sanqian Zhou is an ownerless land.

Gu Cangsheng grabbed another handful of melon seeds,

I plan to pack it all up and haul it back to the Taigu Immortal Realm. This project is a bit big; if the Gu Family does it themselves, they'd find it tiring. So, I'm giving you all an opportunity.

The Primordial God Sovereign was the first to jump out, plopping down onto his knees on the ground.

The Ten Thousand Gods Palace is willing to serve the Gu Family with the devotion of a dog and horse! Even mountains of knives and seas of fire, we would not refuse death!

This old brat changes faces faster than flipping a book.

Just now he was feeling sorry for sending away the family fortune, but now that he hears there's immortal material, he wishes he could tear down the Ten Thousand Gods Palace's mountain gate to pave the way for the Gu Family.

The Ji Family wishes to follow your lead. Ji Tianyou stood up and bowed, his posture very low.

The Ancestral Dragon Nest's entire clan awaits the Patriarch's command! The Dragon Emperor roared loudly.

These people aren't stupid.

The Gu Family has a Jue Dian Immortal King holding the fort, and an Immortal King steward; if they're seeking people like us, there must be another reason.

But, so what?

This is at least an opportunity to sip the soup.

If the Gu Family were to handle it alone.

Then they'd have no chance at all!
