Chapter 260: Seventy percent? Thirty percent? It's all the Gu family's

Three days later.

Gu Family Divine Island, Hall of Welcoming Immortals.

Division of Spoils Assembly.

Gu Lin Tian sat in the chief seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest made of Nine Heaven Immortal Gold.

At the center of the hall lay piles of top-grade spirit veins, immortal gold ore, ancient medicine kings, and immortal substance refined into liquid, extracted from the forty major states—of course, this was only a portion.

These resources piled up into a treasure mountain radiating a seven-colored light halo, illuminating the vast Hall of Welcoming Immortals with strange, colorful brilliance.

The sect leaders who came from Sanqian Zhou—Elder Yunshan, Hai Wuya, Elder Han Yuan, and others—stood properly to the side of the hall.

They didn't even dare to breathe.

These three days' experiences crushed the worldview they had built over millions of years.

Just after landing in the Primeval Immortal Realm, they still acted like Lords of a State.

After all, they thought.

The Gu family is strong, but those forces are not weak either.

But surely not everyone can be that strong, right?

The reality is……

【Divine Dao as common as dogs, sages everywhere walking】

What does the Divine Dao Realm mean?

In the Primeval Immortal Realm.

It means from the seventh to the thirteenth realm.

And these sect leaders, the weak ones…… don't even have the twelfth realm.

A fourteenth-realm sage…… can already slaughter all sect leaders, with only a handful of sect leaders able to scrape by!

Fear, dread, followed by utter submission.

Because they saw a path.

In Sanqian Zhou, the sect leader is the limit; there's no road ahead.

But here, the supreme, the heavenly emperor, and even the true immortals high above, radiating immortal light, are real existing steps.

Even, they heard of something.

The Gu family…… possesses the Path to Immortality!

As the name suggests.

As long as you reach the eighteenth realm.

You can step onto it!

Go past it, and then you can…… directly skip the nineteenth realm.

One-click ascension!!

And the cost is merely…… some resources!!

This discovery made all the sect leaders from Sanqian Zhou boil over!

Can one become immortal with just a bit of resources?

Even if the resources might be huge, the demands are also huge!

But that's an immortal!

Even the deficient immortals high above in Sanqian Zhou are merely deficient immortals!

Just one deficient immortal can rule over Sanqian Zhou and become an absolute powerhouse that not even an immortal king can match!

But right before them lies a Path to Immortality that, once walked, grants immortality!

How could this not make them boil over!

You say you can't walk it?

The Gu family also thoughtfully provides an all-clear service!

Carried out by that invincible Gu Family Immortal King.

Guaranteeing passage through the Path to Immortality!

Such a massive undertaking is something they dare not even imagine!

After all, putting themselves in others' shoes, how would they allow so many true immortal powerhouses to arise under their command?

But the Gu family has this confidence!

What a tremendous spirit of selflessness!

This discovery made all the sect leaders from Sanqian Zhou restless, and their respect for the Gu family rose another notch!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll say a few words."

Gu Lin Tian stopped tapping the armrest, his voice echoing calmly in the hall.

All the sect leaders immediately gathered their thoughts, straightened their backs, and pricked up their ears.

"This relocation, you all contributed greatly; the Gu family always distinguishes reward from punishment."

Gu Lin Tian raised his hand, pointing to the treasure mountain at the hall's center.

"This relocation, we brought back forty major states in total; twenty-eight of them we had planted immortal stakes in, the other twelve we just scooped up; wherever the formation covered, we took them all together; those twelve earth veins have some damage, but it's no big deal."

He paused, glancing at the people in the side hall.

Among them are the strong ones of the Primeval Immortal Realm itself, such as Wan Yu True Immortal, Yuan Chu Divine Lord, Old Dragon Emperor, and so on.

There are also the Gu family's own true immortal powerhouses.

Furthermore, there are the strong ones among the sect leader realm from Sanqian Zhou.

At this moment, everyone's gaze uncontrollably flicked toward the treasure mountain.

"The Gu Family takes seventy percent." Gu Lin Tian said in a flat tone, "The remaining thirty percent belongs to you."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Hai Wuya jerked his head up, his face full of astonishment.

Thirty percent?

Is that little?

No!

It's already extremely much!

You should know, this time we are relocating to the Three Thousand Provinces.

Besides the Gu Family, what strength did even the Wanyou True Immortals contribute?

That is, they helped a bit during the escape.

And under these circumstances.

Even if the Gu Family occupied ninety percent.

No one would say anything.

But the Gu Family actually took out a full thirty percent!

Converted, that equals the resources of twelve major provinces!

A full twelve!

You should know, the Gu Family initially only took back the Thunderfire Two Provinces, yet it gave birth to more than ten Supreme Sovereign powerhouses.

If those twelve major provinces were all given to them……

Just how many powerhouses could these forces nurture—it's unimaginable!

"Senior, uh, no, Immortal Lord… are these words true?" the Yunshan Ancestor stammered.

The Gu Family lacks nothing of this.

Gu Lin Tian lifted the teacup on the table, brushed away the foam,

"Take these resources, go back and cultivate well. The rules of the Primeval Immortal Realm are far harsher than those of the Three Thousand Provinces; if your strength is insufficient, you cannot hold your territory—don't blame others."

His tone was calm, yet it exuded an undeniable aura of superiority.

These words both warned the sect leaders of the Three Thousand Provinces, urging them to face reality and desperately increase their strength.

At the same time, it awakened the native forces of the Primeval Immortal Realm—these thirty percent of resources are to be divided among everyone.

You old-established forces, relying on deep foundations, have powerhouses far surpassing the Three Thousand Provinces sitting in command, wanting to eat more meat—the Gu Family doesn't care.

But since the people of the Three Thousand Provinces have already entered the Gu Family's game, we must leave them a sip of soup.

If anyone, relying on high cultivation, behaves disgracefully and smashes the soup pot, that is a slap to the Gu Family's face.

In the side hall, the Yuanchu Divine Lord's eyes, which had been darting about because of envy for that treasure mountain, instantly became honest.

The Wanyou True Immortals, the Dragon Emperor, and other True Immortals outside the Gu Family all lowered their heads, their expressions stern.

They are essences that have lived countless ages, and naturally understood the hidden meaning of the Gu Family patriarch's words.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the Gu Family for generations!"

Gu Yuan sat in the shadow behind his father's side, watching this group of grateful sect leaders, lifted his teacup and took a sip.

Seven-three split.

The Gu Family not only took the lion's share, but also won over people's hearts.

As for the thirty percent of resources that were given out…… Gu Yuan does not feel sorry.

He calculated it clearly: first, to give some benefits of resources to the native sect leaders of the Three Thousand Provinces.

Not only could it bind their interests more tightly with the Gu Family's, but more importantly, it demonstrated the effect of spending a thousand gold to buy a horse's bone.

The Three Thousand Provinces still have over half of their territory unmoved; in the future, the Gu Family will certainly continue to absorb them.

As long as we let those remaining forces that are still watching see.

How prosperous the first batch of defectors live in the Primeval Immortal Realm; later, the resistance to integration will vanish completely, and they will even actively beg the Gu Family to absorb them.

And the most crucial point is that, no matter how many resources these forces now take, how much their cultivation surges, as long as they still want to climb higher, wanting to break through to Supreme Sovereign, Heavenly Emperor, even to touch the threshold of True Immortal, they will ultimately have no way around the Gu Family's unique path to immortality.

Want to survive? Want to prove the Dao and become a True Immortal?

Pay money.

Buy a quota to protect the Dao, sign the karmic shackles, and work for the Gu Family for life.

The thirty percent of resources that were given out, after circulating in these people's hands, will eventually return with principal and interest to the Gu Family's treasury, and incidentally come with a batch of free True Immortal‑level enforcers.

The wool comes from the sheep, yet we must make the sheep feel grateful to us.

This is the true business.
