Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 452: How strong is Taoist Ancestor Gu Feng?

"Wang, clear my schedule for the afternoon. I need to return to the Big Courtyard for my brother’s ascension ceremony."

After setting aside the documents, Gu Yuan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and spoke to his secretary.

His secretary had been changed.

Zhou, who was once with him in the Magic Capital, had been left there in the basic ranks and was now embroiled in district work.

This Secretary Wang was reassigned from him during his stint in Shanzhong City.

"Of course, Secretary Gu." Wang came over and began to organize and secure all the documents on the table.

The documents that made it to Gu Yuan’s desk were all top-secret, marked by red headings and had to be archived immediately.

After finishing this task, Secretary Wang promptly prepared the vehicle.

Today, in the inner courtyard, Gu Dadong planned to consume the Nascent Soul Pill and depart.

Globally, the phenomenon of leaving Earth as a Nascent Soul was no longer a secret.

The public referred to this event as "Ascension."

It was a great fortune for any Cultivator, and also a symbol that a family was flourishing.

To give back to the people of the Big Courtyard, Gu Dadong had chosen to have his ascension there, allowing many of the younger and future generations to witness and be inspired by the ceremony.

This was something Gu Dadong and his son, Gu Feng, had agreed upon; originally, he and Yu Ling had planned to wait until their grandchildren were grown before leaving Earth.

However, considering that too many irreversible changes could happen in over a decade, he decided to leave a fallback for the Gu Family and proceeded with his cultivation pursuits earlier.

Yu Ling wouldn’t accompany him to the Star System for the time being, as she wanted to stay behind to look after their grandchildren.

When Gu Yuan’s car arrived at the inner courtyard, a platform had already been set up near the lakeside.

Gu Dadong was mingling with old comrades-in-arms and subordinates.

Those military subordinates who had followed Gu Dadong, now retired but with cultivation potential, all planned to stick with him.

They had discussed this plan among themselves.

They hoped this tradition would continue through their descendants.

If the elders could follow Gu Dadong to develop new territories, they would also be able to provide sufficient cultivation resources for Earth’s future generations.

Upon realizing he had made it in time for his brother’s ascension ceremony, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook hands with the other subordinates and elders who came to greet him, then took his seat.

Nearly every Hall Master and Elder in the inner courtyard had arrived today, all of them bowing and greeting Gu Yuan upon his arrival.

Even the descendants, as young as five or six, had been exceptionally brought by their parents to witness this ascension ceremony.

It all depended on their talents how much they could improve their strengths during this ceremony.

Gu Dadong, seeing his wife Yu Ling adjusting his clothes, asked, "Are you sure you don’t want to ascend with me?"

Yu Ling shook her head, aware of what her husband was worried about, and teased, "Are you afraid that dad is outside waiting to settle scores with you?"

Gu Dadong, a bit embarrassed, smiled wryly, "Ever since dad left Earth, it’s been quite peaceful. Just thinking about having to listen to his nagging again makes me anxious, especially since I’ve heard he’s already reached the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, and I might not be able to beat him."

Yu Ling laughed, "Don’t worry, dad has finally found new goals and aspirations in life; he barely has time to bother with you. I bet if you tried to seek him out, he’d be annoyed."

"Go on, and tell me if ever you can’t stand him anymore," Yu Ling said. Having braved her father’s wrath to marry Gu Dadong in her earlier years, it was clear she was formidable enough not to even fear Yu Zecheng.

That was also why Gu Dadong’s military circle was so wary of Yu Ling.

When Gu Feng had just returned from abroad to the Magic Capital, Yu Ling’s presence alone was enough to deter anyone from forcibly sending Gu Feng back to the army.

Yu Ling, indeed, was not a force to be reckoned with lightly. When she returned to the front row, Gu Yuan personally helped her to her seat.

The entire ascension ceremony could be viewed by Gu Feng from home through the compass.

Lin Yue, who was curious, also watched the process by his side.

She saw Gu Feng touching the compass screen, pointing toward Gu Dadong, and then a giant finger appeared above the Beijing North Big Courtyard, helping the confused and nearly lost Gu Dadong through his ordeal.

Advancing to Nascent Soul was risky; unlike Core Formation, it was not easy since Nascent Soul meant transitioning from three dimensions to four.

If one failed to perceive and escape the Laws of Space, one’s consciousness could become trapped within that space, posing the risk of becoming vegetative.

During such times, Gu Feng only needed to indicate a direction, helping the breakthrough cultivator swiftly comprehend the Laws of Space, enabling them to achieve Infant Binding and ascend dimensions.

Lin Yue, witnessing her husband turning the decay into the miraculous, curiously asked, "I am now in the Late stage of Nascent Soul, and I feel like I could breakthrough to Divinity Transformation Stage anytime. I wonder if I can catch up with you?"

Gu Feng just chuckled in response.

After Gu Dadong successfully completed his Core Formation, he was teleported out of Earth amidst the blessings of the crowd on-site.

This was the second Nascent Soul powerhouse to emerge consecutively.

Naturally, this heavenly light caught the attention of global family Cultivators.

They all knew what had happened.

They also fantasized that one day they too could ascend and become a Star System Lord, a ruler over their domain!

"This is the sixth Nascent Soul on Earth!"

At Pangu Base, one of the 48 Peak Masters, Guo Chao, gazed in the direction of the light column, muttering to himself.

The disciple beside him, puzzled, asked, "Master, is there a mistake? Three Offerants, our master, his wife, plus Li Yan, and now this one—doesn’t that make seven in total?"

Guo Chao shot his disciple a look, "Who told you your master is a Nascent Soul?"

Disciple, "The Cultivation History Journal recorded it that way. When master first publicly appeared as a Cultivator a few years ago, wasn’t he at Nascent Soul Stage? Master, you have already advanced to Late-stage Core Formation; it’s only a matter of time before you also achieve Nascent Soul and become his successor."

Guo Chao, "I don’t know how strong Nascent Soul realm really is, but I believe your master is beyond merely Nascent Soul Stage strength."

Disciple, "Then what level has master actually reached?"

Guo Chao raised his head, looking toward the sky barrier, "Maybe one day, if a Cultivator can break through the protective layer set by the teacher, they might come close to reaching the teacher’s level."

"This barrier will become the benchmark for measuring whether a Cultivator can reach the realm of the Taoist Ancestor!"

This statement resonated in every Cultivator who left Earth; when they returned powerfully to their home, they all tried to break this planetary barrier, but no astounding Cultivator had ever managed to do so.

Thus, the historical records that Taoist Ancestor Gu Feng was at the Nascent Soul Stage became the largest deception in the Cultivation World.

Of course, these were later stories.
