Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The next day, Jiang Family Immortal City was unusually lively.

Before dawn, the city was already filled with spiritual light.

One after another, spirit boats landed outside the city.

One by one, Foundation Establishment cultivators led their clan's younger members into the Jiang family's mountain gate.

Within the six kingdoms, almost every renowned immortal clan, sect, and market power sent representatives.

Of course, all those who came were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

None of the Golden Core cultivators showed up.

Gu Changjin stood on a high point in the inner mountain, looking at the cultivators who were being welcomed into the ceremony platform by the Jiang family disciples in the distance, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's really stable."

"A bunch of cunning old bastards."

Yesterday, news spread that the Jiang family had completed a new Golden Core. Today is the grand ceremony for their new family to be united. Logically, all the major immortal clans of the six kingdoms should be paying attention to this.

It is important, but not in the way it should be.

Jin Dan has come in person?

impossible.

Who knows if the Jiang family is just using this as an excuse to fish for trouble?

Who knows what kind of temper Gu Changjin's new Golden Core has?

Who knows if that old bastard Jiang Xuanling, who's about to die, will go mad before he dies?

Therefore, all parties are in tacit agreement.

Send a Foundation Establishment Elder.

The gift has been delivered.

Give them plenty of face.

People don't take risks.

This is the kind of mindset a cultivation family should have.

Gu Changjin was quite satisfied with what he saw.

This world may be small, but old folks who have lived a long time will still live a life of ignominy.

On the other side of the platform, the calls for names rose and fell in waves.

"The Zhao family of the Great Wei Dynasty presents a 300-year-old Purple Jade Ginseng!"

"The Lin family of the Great Qi Dynasty presents three thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

"Qinghe Sect, presenting ten boxes of Concentration Incense!"

"Blackwater Workshop presents a high-grade second-tier array plate!"

As the gifts were presented one by one, the elder of the Jiang family in charge of welcoming guests finally regained some of his smile.

Yesterday, the Jiang family was thrown into chaos by Gu Changjin, losing face in front of all six kingdoms.

Today's initiation ceremony is finally able to regain some semblance of dignity.

But this semblance of dignity was quickly torn to shreds by the Gu family.

The Gu family members also came today.

And they came in a very high-profile manner.

Gu Mingyuan, along with his family members, took up a prime spot on the stage.

They were all beaming, as if today was not the Jiang family's grand ceremony of joining the Immortal Clan, but rather their Gu family's grand ceremony of taking over the Immortal Clan.

Some of the Jiang family members looked displeased and were about to step forward to argue with him.

A young man from the Gu family glared and said, "What are you looking at? My ancestor is the new ancestor of the Jiang family today. My Gu family members should sit in the front. Is there a problem?"

The Jiang family members gritted their teeth in anger.

They dared not make a move.

Those corpses from yesterday are still warm.

Who would dare to offend Changjin at this time?

When Gu Changjin walked slowly over, the area around the stage immediately quieted down.

Today he was dressed in a crimson-gold robe, his aura completely undisguised.

The pressure from the Golden Core spread faintly.

not heavy.

But it was enough to make all Foundation Establishment cultivators tense up.

This is the Golden Elixir.

In the main world, the Golden Core stage is not considered the highest level.

In the cultivation world of these six kingdoms, the Golden Core is an existence beyond the clouds.

Gu Changjin watched as the Foundation Establishment cultivators bowed their heads in greeting, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Small world.

It felt great.

It's a pity it's too small.

If all you want is to be a local tyrant, then you'll be perfectly comfortable.

But that's not what he wants.

Jiang Zhaoyue was already standing in front of the platform.

She was wearing her wedding dress today, and her makeup was absolutely gorgeous.

The marks on my face from yesterday's slap have been covered up with a magical medicine.

His eyes were just very cold.

Beside her were Jiang Yuanheng, the head of the Jiang family, and his wife, Madam Liu.

That is, this body is my nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law.

When Gu Changjin saw them, images from the thread of fate suddenly flashed through his mind.

That is another future.

At the joint registration ceremony, Gu Changjin was filled with gratitude, feeling that he had finally made it through.

Jiang Yuanheng sat in a high position, his tone indifferent.

"Changjin, you are where you are today because of the Jiang family's support."

Madam Liu held Jiang Zhaoyue's hand and said softly, "Zhaoyue is the jewel of my Jiang family. It was already a grievance for her to marry you back then."

"Now that you are about to form your core, you should remember the kindness of the Jiang family even more."

"Even if you eventually achieve the Golden Core stage, never forget that you are the son-in-law of the Jiang family."

I didn't refute him at that time.

They even thought they were right.

They've been brainwashed to the bone.

Thinking of this, Gu Changjin suddenly laughed out loud.

Jiang Yuanheng and Liu Shi both looked somewhat stiff.

Gu Changjin stepped forward and first gave a perfunctory bow.

Father-in-law, Mother-in-law.

The two hadn't even had a chance to return the gift.

Gu Changjin continued, "That brat Chengze was too arrogant yesterday. He'll get beaten to death sooner or later if he stays out there."

"I thought, rather than letting an outsider kill him and disgrace the Jiang family, I'd rather send him on his way myself."

"You two don't need to thank me."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

He laughed heartily.

Jiang Yuanheng's face twitched.

Liu's eyes instantly reddened, and she swayed, almost losing her balance.

The other immortal guests around them twitched at the corners of their mouths as they listened.

Good guy.

You killed someone's son and then told them they didn't need to thank you?

Gu Changjin is truly insane.

But no one dared to laugh out loud.

laugh?

What are you laughing at?

They are Golden Core cultivators.

You, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to laugh at a Golden Core cultivator?

I could cut you down with a single backhand strike, and even your Golden Core ancestor might not risk his life for you.

This isn't some kind of female-oriented romance novel that emphasizes emotions and reason.

In the world of cultivation, might makes right.

Gu Changjin walked to Jiang Zhaoyue's side and took her hand directly.

Jiang Zhaoyue's fingers stiffened, and the coldness in her eyes deepened.

Gu Changjin naturally noticed it.

He sneered inwardly.

What's wrong?

Do you really care about your brother?

If it really hurts that much, why didn't you come down with me?

It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

In the end, what does family affection, hatred, or thirty years of marriage matter?

When faced with life-or-death situations and personal interests, everyone has to step back.

Jiang Zhaoyue wants to live.

Jiang Xuanling wanted to live.

The Jiang family wants to continue being a celestial race.

That's why they can endure it.

This is what it means to be a cultivator.

However, they thought they could endure until the end.

Gu Changjin was also waiting for the end.

The grand ceremony for the unification of citizenship begins.

First, we offer sacrifices to the ancestral tablets of the Jiang family.

I bow again to Heaven and Earth in prayer.

Then, the head of the Jiang family announced that Gu Changjin and Jiang Zhaoyue had renewed their Daoist contract. From then on, Gu Changjin was no longer just a son-in-law of the Jiang family, but the new ancestor of the Jiang family, and would jointly run the Jiang family with Jiang Zhaoyue.

Jiang Yuanheng's voice was stiff as he read this passage.

But I still have to read it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changjin suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

"etc."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

What is this guy up to now?

Gu Changjin laughed and said, "Since this old ancestor and Zhaoyue jointly manage the Jiang family, then the Gu family and the Jiang family are naturally inseparable."

"The future development of the Gu family will be the future development of the Jiang family."

"Only when the Gu family prospers can the Jiang family become even stronger."

"Gentlemen, don't you agree?"

The members of the Gu family below the stage immediately became so excited that their faces turned red.

Gu Mingyuan immediately took the lead and knelt down.

"Our ancestor was wise!"

"Gu and Jiang are one!"

"Long live the Ancestor!"

The Gu family members also joined in the shouting.

"Long live the Ancestor!"

"Long live the Ancestor!"

The Jiang family members looked extremely grim.

The other immortal guests bowed their heads and drank their tea.

You can't laugh.

You really can't laugh.

How could the Jiang family be welcoming a new ancestor?

This is like inviting a wolf into the house.

No.

The wolf has already entered the house and even took away the master's rice bowl.

Jiang Xuanling finally appeared.

He sat at the highest point of the platform, his golden core aura faintly visible.

Seeing Gu Changjin's smug look, he could barely suppress the murderous intent deep in his eyes.

But you still have to smile.

"Changjin is right."

"Now that we are registered together, Gu and Jiang are naturally one entity."

Gu Changjin laughed even louder.

"Our ancestor understands me."

Jiang Zhaoyue stood beside him, her hand held by him, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

Gu Changjin glanced at her sideways and said in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Jiang Zhaoyue did not answer.

She simply lowered her eyes slowly.

endure.

This is the final step.

The preceding procedures were completed one by one.

Ancestor worship.

Serving tea.

Declaration.

Informing the guests.

Finally, the Master of Ceremonies walked up to the altar, holding a blood-red jade talisman.

His voice trembled slightly.

"The final step in the joint household registration ceremony."

"Renew the blood pact."

"Please, my two patriarchs, enter the Blood Pact Jade Platform."

This moment.

Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes finally changed.

Jiang Xuanling's withered fingers slowly pressed down on the armrest of the seat.

Gu Changjin looked at the blood-red jade talisman, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

coming.
