Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

After listening to Su Gongming’s various recounts, the face of this wandering Su Family ancestor also darkened.

"The new Prince Cui who was once so obedient to our Su Family, it’s unexpected that in less than a hundred years, he dares to act so rashly."

Su Dongdan’s gaze abruptly swept over the several elder grandmasters present.

"None of you have reached the Grandmaster Realm yet?"

The elder grandmasters exchanged glances and lowered their heads in shame.

Of the seven present, not to mention the Grandmaster Realm, even the Middle Realm, none had achieved it.

Although they could live long, their potential had reached its limit, and their cultivation had been stagnant for many years.

Maintaining their current level of cultivation strength without regression was already a difficult task.

"Hmph!" Su Dongdan snorted coldly, deeply disappointed in these junior members.

Having no successors is the greatest fear of a long-lasting family, it signifies a future devoid of hope, an irreversible decline.

"Perhaps the ancestor Su Xiang, who has been in seclusion for ten years, might have an opportunity in the recent years..." Su Gongming murmured.

In fact, he was somewhat uncertain and lacked confidence in what he said.

After all, after all these years, that ancestor hadn’t succeeded in a breakthrough.

At that moment, Spiritual Qi suddenly surged in a certain area of the mansion, and before long, all the Spiritual Qi of the mansion was drawn over.

If it weren’t for the mansion’s large talisman array isolating the energy fluctuations, this Qi disturbance might have affected the entire city!

In one of the seclusion chambers of the family, dense spiritual mist was seen swirling above it, and this spectacle astonished many in the mansion.

Su Gongming’s face was filled with joy as he said, "It’s Feng Ye, he’s stepped into the Grandmaster Realm!"

"Feng Ye?"

"Yes, the younger brother, ancestor." Su Gongming reminded.

Su Dongdan thought briefly and then had a faint impression.

In his mind first appeared an image of a stable child, calm and quiet without crying or fussing.

"Is it that young lad who broke through to the Grandmaster Realm..." On hearing this, Su Dongdan’s expression eased a bit.

At least among the younger generation, someone had emerged, preventing a complete standstill without successors.

"This is the first piece of good news I’ve heard since returning."

Su Gongming smiled awkwardly, without a reply.

Before long, a joyous laughter echoed as Su Fengye emerged from seclusion, cheerful beyond measure.

The Grandmaster Realm is the dream of many martial artists and also the ultimate goal of Martial Tao.

Even for Su Fengye, who was born into the Changsheng Family, at this moment, he was elated and proud.

Previously, Su Fengye had failed once in opening the Purple Mansion, and this was his second attempt at the Grandmaster Realm.

If he failed again, no matter how steadfast his martial heart was, it would inevitably be a severe blow.

Fortunately, this time it was successful.

"Feng Ye!" Su Gongming was the first to come to Su Fengye’s side.

"Brother, I did it!" Su Fengye said with a grin, his powerful grandmaster aura completely undisguised before his blood kin.

"Great! Wonderful!" Su Gongming grinned widely in return.

Su Fengye’s breakthrough into the Grandmaster Realm at this time couldn’t be more timely.

It was incredibly uplifting and important, both for the Su Family and for him.

Needless to say, with Su Fengye supporting him, his position as patriarch was unwavering.

Anyone desiring to challenge his patriarchal position would have to consider Su Fengye’s opinion.

As for whether Su Fengye would support him, he need not worry at all.

He knew Su Fengye too well, in almost all matters, Su Fengye always listened and followed his lead.

"Feng Ye, Dongdan Ancestor has returned," Su Gongming said.

Su Fengye then noticed the elderly man in white and immediately restrained his smile, respectfully saluting Su Dongdan.

"Junior greets ancestor!"

"Hmm, not bad. Should you have any doubts in cultivation, feel free to seek me out." Su Dongdan, assessing Su Fengye from head to toe, smiled slightly and nodded.

"Thank you, ancestor." Su Fengye accepted.

Su Dongdan then encouraged him with a few words, instructing him to go back and consolidate his realm.

Once Su Fengye returned to his seclusion place, Su Dongdan gathered the smile from his face.

"The matter with the Prince’s Mansion and Prince Cui must eventually be resolved..."

"Now with you, ancestor, among us, we don’t need to hold back much." agreed one Su Family elder grandmaster.

"Indeed, Prince Cui must be made to pay for breaching the contract!" Another Su Family elder grandmaster agreed.

It’s time for a response.

"When the family dog misbehaves, you strike it until it listens." Su Dongdan’s voice grew cold, subtle evil qi lingering around his weathered brow.

"What do you mean, ancestor?" Su Gongming inquired.

Su Dongdan glanced towards the place where Su Fengye secluded.

"The continuation of the family is extremely important, isn’t it..."

Su Gongming momentarily stunned, yet he quickly grasped the ancestor’s notion, eyes instinctively widening.

"This..."

He instinctively wanted to say it might be too excessive, but swallowed the words back down.

Even as patriarch, he dared not casually question the decisions of this ancestor.

"Let’s go, the wind is strong outside, get some rest inside." The ancestor didn’t say much more, it wasn’t the time for action yet, but he had settled in the mansion, and the opportunity would come soon.

...

Time flew by, and a month passed quickly.

The news of Su Fengye’s breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm did not spread in the main city.

The Changsheng Family always maintained their mystery, so even the top noble families had no clue of this event.

However, Prince Cui, who was always wary of the Changsheng Su Family, managed to receive the news immediately.
