Chapter 552: Qualification to enter the ancestral land
One moment there was a lot of noise in the hall, but the next moment everyone was silent and looked at Gu Chen with a strange expression.
The atmosphere suddenly became uncomfortable, which made Gu Chen frown. Is this request too much?
"Gu Chen, if you want to enter the ancestral land, you want to use the Bawu Yuan Jade in the ancestral land to repair the Cangtian Ba bones, right?"
Gu Xuanwu was the first to break the silence and asked.
Gu Chen did not deny it. According to what his grandfather said, there is a rare object called Ba Wuyuan Jade in the ancestral land of the Gu clan. With its power, his own Ba Wuyuan Jade can be repaired and even become stronger.
"There are some things you may not know. Since you asked about it, I will tell you about it."
"The ancestral land is the most important place for our Gu clan, and the Bawu Yuan Jade is our clan's most precious treasure."
"Over the years, the space where the ancestral land is located has become more and more unstable, so it has been opened less and less frequently. And the Bawu Yuan Jade consumes a little every time it is used, so it is extremely precious."
Gu Chen listened carefully and kept nodding.
"Because the ancestral land and the Bawu Yuan Jade are related to the long-term development of the six lines of our Gu clan, strict selection criteria have been set for the qualifications of the tribesmen who can enter the ancestral land as early as a thousand years ago."
"I know that your Ba Wu Yuan Jade is broken and it will be difficult to recover without the Ba Wu Yuan Jade, but the rules cannot be broken, otherwise it will be unfair to others."
"You have been wandering away all year round. It is normal not to know this. Just give up the request you just made. You can make another one."
"You can make many demands, such as who caused your Ba bones to break. As long as you name a person, an elder from the clan will naturally seek justice for you and let everyone know that our Gu clan cannot be insulted."
After the patriarch finished speaking, many elders nodded.
"That's right, child, you can make another request. Even if you want sixth-level and seventh-level elixirs that extend your life, we can get as much as you want for you!"
"Who on earth caused you to fall to this point? Tell us and let us vent your anger!"
The elders around him became enthusiastic again, but Gu Chen already understood what they meant.
If you need thugs or ordinary treasures, no problem, but if you want to enter the ancestral land, no way!
Gu Chen thought about it carefully and realized that this involved the interests of each of the six branches of the Gu clan, so they did not want to enter the ancestral land by themselves.
The number of places to enter the ancestral land is already scarce, and the Ba Wu Yuan Jade is even more consumable. If the miraculous effects of the Ba Wu Yuan Jade that Grandpa said are not exaggerated, then this item is of extraordinary significance to everyone with Ba Wu Yuan blood flowing in their bodies. No wonder they
Objected.
"Grandpa never told me before that it would be so difficult to enter the ancestral land."
Gu Chen frowned.
In fact, he didn't know that although the six lines of the Gu clan had strict restrictions on people who wanted to enter the ancestral land, there was a free quota for direct bloodlines.
Gu Yuan ignored this, thinking that if Gu Chen could return to the Gu clan, it would not be difficult to enter the ancestral land.
But he forgot that the current direct lineage of his family was no longer theirs, and it would be much more difficult to enter the ancestral land!
Gu Chen thought for a while and said to Gu Xuanwu, "Can I ask the clan leader what qualifications are required to be allowed to enter the ancestral land?"
Seeing that Gu Chen was still obsessed with his ancestral land, the surrounding tribesmen shook their heads.
I thought this guy was smart before, but it seems he still lacks some discernment.
Although there are ways to enter the ancestral land, it will never belong to him, a person who has lost his domineering bones and whose time is numbered.
"You have two ways to gain the qualifications to enter the ancestral land."
Gu Yao answered instead of Gu Xuanwu with a friendly smile.
"First, he has made significant contributions to our Gu clan. With the unanimous consent of the Elders Council, he can enter the ancestral land."
Gu Chen had a headache after hearing this method. With his current level of cultivation, what contribution could he bring to the Gu clan? He even managed to escape disaster in Penglai Immortal Island by relying on the name of the Gu clan.
"The second is to participate in our Gu clan's clan meeting. The top three in each clan meeting will be eligible to enter the ancestral land. Counting the days, there are only two months left before this year's clan meeting."
When Gu Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "I wonder what are the requirements for participating in the clan competition?"
"You are under the age of twenty-five and have the blood of our Gu clan."
"Well, this junior wants to participate in the clan competition!"
Gu Chen said without hesitation.
After saying this, many tribesmen in the hall were stunned, and then from many corners, many young tribesmen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Did I hear you correctly? This Gu Chen doesn't even have the strength to dominate, yet he still wants to participate in the clan meeting. Does he think he can win?"
"What a wishful thinking. Everyone in my Gu clan is like a dragon. He is a useless piece of trash with no strength. He can't beat anyone of his age!"
Whispers were everywhere, many young people made no secret of their contempt for Gu Chen, while some elders showed sympathy towards him.
In their opinion, if Gu Chenruo participated in the clan competition, it would only bring shame to their lineage.
In any case, their lineage was once the direct lineage of the family and produced countless amazing and talented clan leaders. It would be really embarrassing if they failed miserably in the clan meeting.
"Ahem!"
Seeing some young boys talking too much, the elders in the clan coughed and told them to shut up.
The clan leader, Gu Xuanwu, looked at Gu Chen who said these innocent words and asked calmly, "Are you sure you want to participate in the clan competition? In your current state, I'm afraid it's too reluctant."
Gu Chen didn't take everyone's doubts seriously and nodded seriously. "Juniors must participate!"
His words were decisive, and many elders did not dissuade him after seeing this.
"Well, you already have the qualifications to participate in the clan meeting. Although this year's registration date has ended, you will be added to the list."
The female elder said before and sighed after speaking.
In her opinion, Gu Chen gave up a great opportunity in vain. He could have made some practical demands, but instead he had to fight for the slim chance of entering the ancestral land.
"Okay, this matter is settled. Lian Yue, take Gu Chen to his residence, familiarize him with Dahuang Ancient Town, and tell him what he needs to pay attention to."
Gu Yao said to Gu Lianyue that he was going to end this meeting.
"Great Elder, I have one more thing to ask!"
At this time, Gu Chen said quickly.
"Is there anything else?" Gu Yao looked very patient.
"I wonder where my father is? Why didn't he come to see me?"
Gu Chen asked. He had asked Gu Lianyue about his father when he was on Penglai Island. At that time, she was perfunctory with him, which made him a little uneasy.
But now that he has arrived in the Gu clan and has not seen his father, he is even more worried.
According to common sense, how could his father not come to see him?
Gu Chen's words made many Gu clan members present fall silent again. They hesitated to speak, and many of them looked strange.
Gu Xuanwu, the clan leader's face became even more inexplicably gloomy.
