Five hundred and seventieth chapters enter the ancestral land
Two days passed in a flash, and today was the day to enter the ancestral land.
Gu Chen was dressed in a white robe, put the white ape into the animal bag, and arrived at the great elder's residence early in the morning.
After a while, Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming also came, and the three of them nodded tacitly as a greeting.
Two days ago, the three of them had discussed the specific matters of cooperation after entering the ancestral land, so now they have changed from competitors to partners who help each other.
Not long after the three of them gathered together, the Great Elder Gu Yao opened the door and walked out of his residence, and the three of them immediately saluted.
"No need to be polite, since everyone is here, let's go to the Wangu Altar."
He smiled and led the way, and everyone reached the depths of Dahuang Ancient Town.
This place is already an important place for the Gu clan. After passing through the dense ancient forest, an ancient altar appears in the open ground in front.
This ancient altar is made of yellow clay. A large formation is carved on the altar, and eighteen ancient totem stone pillars are scattered around it according to the directions.
When everyone arrived, there were already three elders present. According to the rules, at least four elders must be present every time the ancestral land is opened.
Among the three elders, only one female elder, Gu Chen, looked familiar to him. When he first came back, he asked him what he needed and was kind to him.
If I remember correctly, her name should be Gu Qingxia.
Everyone had gathered together, and the great elder and the three elders were standing on the four sides of the altar, each making seals and performing ancient magic.
The altar gradually changed under their spells, and the magic array patterns on the altar lit up one after another.
The totems on the eighteen stone pillars around them are also glowing, and the strange beasts carved on them seem to be alive, exuding an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
Gu Chen sensed with his heart and found that the space here suddenly became extremely active, and it seemed that the altar was about to disappear.
Boom!
At a certain moment, a door of light that flickers on and off appears on the altar, connecting to unknown time and space.
After the four elders finished casting the spell, the great elder Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Chen and the others.
"The entrance to the ancestral land has been opened. As per the previous rules, you can stay there for forty-nine days. After forty-nine days, we will open it again and take you out."
"You must remember it carefully. When you enter the ancestral land, strictly follow the route map left by your ancestors. Don't be fooled by other scenery on the road, otherwise your life will be in danger."
"You must strictly abide by the forty-nine days and arrange your return time reasonably. You must come out when the door opens again, otherwise you will be severely punished by the clan rules."
The great elder explained the precautions, and elder Gu Qingxia handed the three jade slips to Gu Chen and the others.
Gu Chen looked inside the jade slip with his spiritual sense, and found that there was indeed a map recorded inside. There was only one route on the map, and other areas were vague, with only unknown areas marked.
The route itself is winding and winding, and all the important landmarks on the road have been recorded in great detail. I don’t know how much effort the ancestors of the Gu tribe spent on perfecting this route.
Gu Chen noticed that the starting point of the secret realm and the end point of the ancestral land were far from a straight line. Instead, they turned east and west to avoid a bunch of unknown areas.
This shows that even the extremely powerful ancestors of the Gu clan are full of fear of those unknown areas and only dare to take detours.
The location of Ba Wu Yuan Jade was at the deepest part of the ancestral land, and Gu Chen made a note of the geographical conditions nearby.
"Okay, you can go in. I wish you good luck."
After the great elder finished speaking with a smile, the three of them took a deep breath, stepped onto the altar with joy, and walked into the light door one by one!
"I wonder how much good fortune these three children will have in their ancestral land this year?"
The three of them disappeared through the door, Elder Gu Qingxia said with a smile.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I hope they can be recognized by the ancestral land. The day of the Immortal Ascension Festival is not far away. If they have amazing fortunes in the ancestral land, they may have the opportunity to participate in it."
Gu Yao's eyes showed anticipation.
…
When passing through the light gate, it felt like traveling through time and space, and the peripheral air flow was extremely unstable and the space was densely covered with cracks, which made Gu Chen and the other three people shocked.
Fortunately, they reached the end without any danger, and landed in a dark forest with their feet firmly planted.
It was night at this time, and the sky was full of stars. For some reason, the stars in the sky seemed to be extra bright than usual.
The three of them looked around, their consciousness extending in all directions.
In the induction, this is an ancient and dilapidated land, and a desolate atmosphere blows towards my face.
"Squeak!"
The white ape slipped out of the animal bag, climbed onto Gu Chen's shoulder, and looked around excitedly.
In the past two days, I heard that there is an elixir to eat, and it has long been looking forward to entering the ancestral land of the Gu clan.
"The starting point is right. This is the Whispering Forest. Starting from the southeast, we can reach the ancestral land in about five days' journey."
"And the location of the elixir we are looking for is on this road, about half a day's journey away."
Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming took out the map to confirm the route and analyzed it carefully, but Gu Chen closed his eyes for some reason.
"The gravity here is a little weird. It seems that the gravity has become weaker..."
Gu Chen murmured in his heart that he has been practicing the secret technique of causing earthquakes recently, so he is particularly sensitive to gravity.
As soon as he arrived at this place, he felt that the gravity here was much weaker than that in the Fairy Continent.
This is a very obvious feeling for a person who practices the secret technique of causing earthquakes. The changes in the force field that he had figured out before are no longer applicable here.
"It doesn't matter that gravity has become weaker, but the power of the celestial phenomena above our heads has actually increased..."
Gu Chen raised his head. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel that his connection with the stars in the sky had become inexplicably stronger.
This was the first time he had seen this strange situation, so he was confused.
"Cousin Gu Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Ziyan and Gu Ziyan were analyzing the next route forward. Seeing that Gu Chen was confused, she couldn't help but ask with concern.
Only then did Gu Chen come back to his senses and shook his head. "It's okay, I just feel a little strange here."
"It is said that this secret realm has been passed down from ancient times to this day. Some abnormalities are normal. We are discussing business matters." Gu Shenming said, but he was not aware of what Gu Chen felt.
Gu Chen nodded, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and discussed the way forward with the three of them.
Because the location of the suspected elixir was between the starting point and the ancestral land, they decided to search for the elixir first and then go to the ancestral land.
They can stay in the secret realm for a full forty-nine days, and the journey to and from the starting point is up to ten days, so their time can be said to be more than enough.
The three of them decided on their route and quickly followed the map's guidance to advance in the Whispering Forest.
This forest covers a vast area, and even here the ancestors of the Gu tribe have not fully understood the situation. A large part of the area is marked as unknown and prohibited.
The three of them followed the route on the map and did not want to cause any more setbacks.
