Gu Yao said to Gu Lianyue who was walking beside Gu Chen.
Gu Lianyue hesitated for a moment, then saw the great elder's firm eyes and walked over.
Gu Chen watched his cousin Lian Yue leave, and his heart ached inexplicably.
He had separated from the Gu clan a long time ago, and he thought that these people's misunderstandings would not have any impact on his emotions.
But now, looking at the disappointed look of the great elder, and looking at the expressions of the clan leader and other elders, he found that he actually cared a little in his heart.
No matter what, these are his tribesmen and they have cared about him. The feeling of being misunderstood and abandoned is very uncomfortable.
"I didn't lie!"
Gu Chen gritted his teeth, he had indeed met his ancestor and what he told was the truth.
Gu Xuanwu took a deep look at Gu Chen, and then looked at Wu Lingxian next to him. "Next time we meet the people from Wudian, we will be enemies. Let's go."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the great elder and others also followed.
Gu Yuanshan looked at Gu Chen with some reluctance. It seemed that his nephew still missed some old feelings and still refused to eliminate this traitor!
There are so many of them now, and they have brought many immortal weapons with them. A mere Wu Lingxian is no match at all!
Gu Yuanshan, who was alone, did not dare to challenge Wu Lingxian. He gave Gu Chen a resentful look and followed the Gu army.
Only Gu Chen and Wu Lingxian were left there. Wu Lingxian looked at Gu Chen with a smile on his lips.
"Ignore them, just follow me."
Wu Lingxian led the way, and Gu Chen followed without thinking.
Although there are many ruins here, he doesn't have much desire to explore. He always cares about what his ancestors once said.
He believed that his ancestors would not lie to him, but the situation in Tiankengdi's eyes was very different from what he imagined.
"Everything seems a little wrong."
Gu Chen frowned. After entering the earth's eye, except for encountering two immortal corpses, everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
The Tiankeng Diyan has such a terrible reputation, but the dangers encountered by this group of people always seemed to be within an acceptable range, and there were not even many casualties.
"Squeak!"
The white ape squatted on Gu Chen's shoulder, looking left and right, eager to try.
There are so many stone towers here, and it seems that there are some treasures hidden in each one, which makes the little guy particularly excited.
Boom boom boom!
There was the sound of fighting in the distance, and Gu Chen followed the sound and looked over.
In order to compete for the good fortune in the stone tower, the monks from various sects who were originally companions began to kill each other.
Gu Chen saw Zuo Chunqiu, who was fighting with the chiefs and elite disciples of the twelve Immortal Sects.
It seemed that the Twelve Immortal Sect had already made arrangements for Zuo Chunqiu and did not want him to gain any fortune here, so the sect leader and elders were responsible for fighting for other relics, while the disciples united to solve Zuo Chunqiu's big problem here.
"Hmph, you guys want to stop me? I want to take control of this ruins!"
The forty-nine incarnations of Zuo Chunqiu came out and fought with the elites of various sects.
"That's..."
Because of their movements, Gu Chen noticed the stone tower they were robbing, and felt that there was a vague power of time lingering there.
"The secret of time!" He murmured, realizing that Zuo Chunqiu would never give up that place no matter what.
"Not just the secret of time, every stone tower here seems to represent a powerful inheritance."
After Gu Chen practiced the Immortal Ascension Technique, although he had not yet condensed his immortal body, his senses became more and more acute. He felt the call from different powers in the stone towers in all directions.
"arrive."
Gu Chen followed Wu Lingxian to one of the eighteen largest stone towers, and the one with the dimmest light among them.
This was the place where Wu Lingxian found his chance. Gu Chen never expected that Wu Lingxian would bring him here.
The two of them walked into the stone tower, and the surrounding stone walls suddenly disappeared and turned into a sea of light.
It is very strange that from the outside it is just a plain stone tower, but inside there is a cave, like a small world!
"There are many stone towers here. Do you know their origins?"
The two of them were in the sea of light, and the portal they entered had disappeared. Wu Lingxian sat in the void and said coldly.
Gu Chen shook his head.
"The stone towers here are all made of the flesh and blood of ancient human monks, and the place we are entering now is the inner world of an ancient warrior."
"After monks who are powerful enough to a certain level die, their physical bodies will hardly decay, and the small world inside them will not easily collapse."
"When a monk dies and transforms into a Tao, his consciousness will be integrated into his inner world, leaving behind what is known as the inheritance mark. If someone enters here later, as long as their talent is acceptable, there is a great hope of gaining inheritance."
Wu Lingxian explained, and Gu Chen was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the stone tower here had this origin.
He also had doubts in his heart, how could Wu Lingxian know such a thing?
"Fifty years ago, I set out from a remote desert island overseas and visited the Thirteen Immortal Sects in order to embark on the path of spiritual practice. However, the Thirteen Immortal Sects thought that my qualifications were dull and they refused to accept me."
Wu Lingxian recalled the past.
"Finally, an elder of Taihao Immortal Sect took a fancy to my perseverance and accepted me as a medicine boy. However, he was killed by a traitor, and I was kicked out of Taihao Immortal Sect because of that traitor.
"
"When I was desperate, I came to the Deep Demonic Sea. I heard the legend of the Tiankeng and the Eye. I don't know what I had eaten, but I entered the Tiankeng and the Eye alone."
"At that time, the zombie tide had not yet broken out, and it was far less dangerous than it is now. I finally came here and obtained the inheritance of the ancient warriors here."
"Guess what happened after that?"
Gu Chen didn't know why Wu Lingxian wanted to tell him this past incident, but he still made a guess. "I think that after Master Wu became successful in cultivation, he must have taken revenge on the traitor back then."
Wu Lingxian shook his head.
"I did think so when I first started practicing, but as I stayed here longer and longer, I gradually became numb to all worldly ties."
"After decades of continuous practice, I have forgotten my hatred for the elders of the Immortal Sect who had given me a favor, and my father who was still waiting for me to return on a deserted island overseas. Occasionally, I think of them and that my father may have grown old.
But it didn’t touch me at all.”
What Wu Lingxian said made people shudder. He practiced so hard that he seemed to have reached the point where he forgot all his feelings.
Gu Chen's brows furrowed. Since entering the Tiankeng's Eye, Palace Master Wu seems to have become a little strange.
"A deserted island overseas. Did you go to sea to practice spiritual practice fifty years ago?"
Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he remembered someone from Wu Lingxian's words.
"I wonder if Master Wu's surname was originally Wu?" Gu Chen took a deep breath.
"No, my original surname is Ling, but after I became obsessed with martial arts, I changed my name to Wu Lingxian, with the intention of using my martial arts to suppress the immortal ways of the heavens."
Wu Lingxian answered expressionlessly.
The last name is Ling!
Gu Chen couldn't help but recall the old fisherman Ling Ping who had helped him and guarded the desert island alone overseas, waiting for his son Ling Fu'an to come home!
The old man waited all his life, but until his death, he did not wait for his son to go back and see him. In the end, his tombstone was even erected by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen thought of the old man's concern and reluctance for his son before he died, and then looked at Wu Lingxian's insensitivity when recalling the past, and felt shuddering.
