"There are only five places. After discussion with several elders, I made a preliminary list. I will announce it here. If anyone has any objections, they can raise it."
The clan leader opened a jade slip, and the eyes of all the young disciples were immediately fixed on it, expecting that they would be chosen.
"The first spot is Gu Lianyue."
The patriarch said the first name, and everyone was not surprised when they heard it.
"Is there anyone who objects?" He paused and looked up at everyone in the square.
All the young people shook their heads. Are you kidding? Which of the younger generations in the clan is the opponent of the female overlord?
Her strength is obvious to all, and she has achieved great results. It can be said that she is welcomed by everyone when she goes to drink ancient tea.
"The second spot is Gu Zhaixing."
Seeing that there was no objection, the clan leader announced the second quota.
The huge square was silent, and no one objected to Gu Zhaixing accompanying him to the Immortal Ascension Ceremony.
It can be said that the two recognized geniuses are completely pre-determined, and all the young people care about are the next three places.
Except for these two people, the gap between the others is not that big, and they can still give it a try!
"The third spot is Gu Shenming."
After the patriarch finished speaking, Gu Shenming's face showed ecstasy, and Gu Chen and Gu Ziyan beside him congratulated him one after another.
"Is there any objection?"
This time the young disciples in the square looked at each other and whispered.
"I object!"
Soon, an older-looking young man stood up.
His name is Gu Ningde, he is about the same age as Gu Shenming, he was the second in the clan association last time, his cultivation has already reached the peak of Dharma, and he has also entered the ancestral land.
In terms of seniority and strength, he believed that he was no worse than Gu Shenming and should be ranked third.
Seeing his objection, Gu Shenming's face became solemn and he strode out.
"Since Brother Ningde is not convinced, let's have a discussion between you and me!"
The clan leader did not object to the competition between the two and nodded, so Gu Ningde's eyes lit up and he immediately rushed forward!
Boom! Boom! Bang!
The two of them fought together, and the movement was so shocking that they were inseparable for a while.
Gu Chen's eyes turned purple, and the fighting movements of the two suddenly slowed down in his eyes, including the magical powers they used became traceable.
Under his purple pupils, he could see that although the two of them were about the same strength in all aspects, Gu Shenming was obviously better at using his magical powers. It could be said that he was so clever that the winner could be determined within a short while.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Ningde was beaten back more than ten steps, his face turned pale.
"It seems that you have a good chance in the ancestral land. I lost!"
He voluntarily surrendered and quit the competition.
"But who else objects?"
Gu Shenming defeated his opponent, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked confidently.
This time everyone looked at each other in shock and did not stand up to object.
Gu Shenming's qualifications and strength are there, and there are very few people who are qualified to compete with him.
The opportunity to go to the Immortal Ascension Festival is indeed rare, but everyone is of the same race and will never see each other again without looking up. He has already defeated a powerful enemy to prove himself, who would dare to touch him?
"Well, the third place will be given to Shen Ming. Next, the fourth place will be announced, Gu Ziyan."
The patriarch continued to announce.
When Gu Ziyan heard that her pretty face was filled with joy, she immediately expressed gratitude to everyone.
"This opportunity is really rare and valuable. Thank you all for giving me the opportunity."
Her voice was pleasant to the ear, and she was extremely good-looking. When she said this, the young men who had originally intended to compete with her showed hesitation.
"Hmph, who is so shameless and dares to compete with sister Zi Yan? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Whoever dares to stand up and object will be settled with him afterwards!"
Gu Ziyan is beautiful, talented, and has a good personality, so she has a lot of flower protectors in her clan.
At this time, her flower guardians knew that they were unlikely to be chosen, so they simply united to support their goddess.
They all whispered threats in the team. For a moment, those who originally wanted to try had to reconsider.
"Cousin Zi Yan is still amazing."
Seeing this, Gu Shenming lamented that he usually had some prestige among the younger generation of the clan, but the result was not as good as that of his cousin Zi Yan.
"It's very powerful."
Gu Chen laughed dumbly. Beauty alone could not achieve this effect. This should be attributed to her good at managing connections.
To be honest, there were only five places, and Gu Chen had the urge to take action, but because he and Gu Ziyan were born and died together in the ancestral land, he had no choice but to give up the idea.
Miraculously, no one objected to Gu Ziyan, so only the last spot was left.
This was the last chance, and everyone looked nervous for a moment.
"The fifth spot, Gu Chen!"
The patriarch named the last person.
Gu Chen tied for first place with Gu Shenming in the clan meeting, and his ever-changing appearance was obvious to all, so his strength can be said to be undoubted.
However, as soon as his name appeared, it caused the biggest commotion in the square.
Different from the previous four people, he had just returned to the clan for a few months. Not to mention his prestige, he didn't have many friends.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people, they always feel that he is an outsider who came from the sky and robbed them of their opportunities.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Chen's name appeared, at least seven or eight people stood up.
"I object!"
"I object too!"
Having become the object of the most intense opposition, Gu Chen looked calm and his expression did not change much.
"He is not qualified to accompany him to the Immortal Ascension Festival!"
One of the people who objected had the loudest voice. He strode out of the crowd, his eyes filled with resentment.
Gu Qingshi!
Because he was seriously injured by Gu Chen, he lay in bed for many days, and now he finally recovered.
Because the opponent not only failed to make it into the top three in the clan meeting and enter the ancestral land, he was even eliminated in the first game, becoming the biggest joke in the clan this month.
He had already hated Gu Chen deeply, and now that he heard that he had been selected to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, he immediately took revenge.
"Everyone knows that every grand event for ascension to immortality is attended by talented people, and geniuses from all major forces compete to compete with each other to see whose orthodoxy is stronger."
"The conference has attracted the attention of the entire continent. The person who can take action on behalf of our Gu clan will naturally be the one who has inherited the domineering bones and domineering blood!"
"Who in the entire continent doesn't know that our Gu clan has a special orthodoxy and is on a unique path to hegemony? This is our glory and the foundation on which we rely to power the continent!"
"Although this Gu Chen is capable, he doesn't look like a Gu family member from the inside out. Instead, he looks like a disciple of the Immortal Sect! If we let him represent us at the Immortal Ascension Event, people will only laugh at me and think that I, the Gu Clan
There’s no one left!”
Gu Qingshi said impassionedly, his face turning red.
His words resonated with many Gu clan disciples, and they all spoke. "Yes, Gu Chen practices the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, but he doesn't even know the magical powers of my Gu clan. What does it mean to ask him to attend on behalf of the Gu clan?"
"If he can represent the Gu clan, it will give the outside world a signal that our Gu clan's orthodoxy is no longer viable!"
