Back Mountain, after Gu Changge's departure, Gu Family Ancestor sat for quite a while longer, yet there were no more fish.
"Sigh..."
"My mind is troubled, no matter, no matter."
Gu Family Ancestor simply retracted his fishing rod and sauntered toward the deeper parts of Back Mountain.
After passing through one formation after another, he stopped within a gorge on Back Mountain.
Looking at the three black coffins before him, he chuckled, "I am indeed wise to know that there will be no further opportunities for advancement, preserving my lifespan to return to the Northern Domain."
These three black coffins were made of special heavenly-grade timber and carved with hundreds of arrays. Once inside, one could voluntarily fall into a state of suspended animation, minimizing all bodily functions to the lowest possible level, ensuring that lifespan would hardly be consumed.
