Chapter 519

The middle-aged Daoist nun's words were blunt, making Zhuang Fan, who had invited Gu Chen, feel very awkward.

Gu Chen glanced at the others. They were all silent, obviously agreeing with Daoist Nun Ma's idea.

"Fellow Zhuang, since I'm not welcome, let's go our separate ways."

Gu Chen smiled and decided to give up on traveling with this group of people.

People of different paths could not make plans together. He was too lazy to prove his strength to this group of people. It was more comfortable to move alone.

After saying this, he turned around and left without any reluctance. Zhuang Fan looked at his back and wanted to say something, but stopped himself. "This …"

He really wanted to ask Gu Chen to stay, but seeing that the others did not agree, he could only sigh and watch his back gradually disappear into the horizon.

"Fellow Ma, why did you do this?" When Gu Chen was completely gone, he mocked the middle-aged Daoist nun.

"Humph, I was just provoking him with words just now to see how strong he was. Who would have thought that he would just leave like that? It's obvious that his strength is very ordinary."

Daoist Nun Ma, however, looked indifferent. "He's smart enough to leave on his own."

The others all nodded. Just now, Daoist Nun Ma had provoked him like that, but the other did not even show any reaction. It was obvious that he knew his strength was not enough, so he tactfully left, which saved them a lot of trouble.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's leave it at that. Let's go."

Zhuang Fan was a bit disappointed that Gu Chen did not try to persuade him to leave. His original idea of helping and guiding him also faded.

The others were his friends of many years. He would not make them unhappy for someone he had only known for a few days, so he quickly let the matter go.

"Squeak squeak!"

Gu Chen flew through the air, alone. Along the way, White Ape was a bit angry.

The Daoist nun from before had made him very unhappy. He did not understand why Gu Chen ignored her and did not prove his strength before leaving.

"An ant bumped into your foot. Would you care?"

Faced with the question, Gu Chen only smiled faintly.

Although those people had also reached the Heaven Tier, with Gu Chen's current vision, they were nothing in his eyes, and he did not want to make a move for them.

This was due to the difference in their mental states. Although Gu Chen, who had once forced himself to grow, had recovered his cultivation base to the Sky Human stage, he had experienced a higher level of cultivation. Thus, some changes had occurred to his state of mind.

The white ape nodded its head as if it understood. The simple-minded ape soon forgot about this matter. It took out the pastries that it carried with it and ate them with relish.

Half a day later, Gu Chen had already descended outside Mount Penglai.

As a famous immortal mountain of the Penglai Immortal Island, its location was easily known.

On the island in front of them, the celestial mountain towered there. Colorful clouds rose and smoke lingered.

"Dang —"

The sound of a bell could be heard from the training hall on the mountain. The sound seemed to be able to cleanse one's soul.

These days were the Sea and Sky Banquet. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered on Mount Penglai, and many of them were famous figures.

At the entrance to the island, the disciples of Mount Penglai were guarding there, checking every guest who entered.

Gu Chen stepped forward and handed over his invitation.

"May I ask your name?" the disciple asked politely.

There were two kinds of invitations issued by Mount Penglai. One was signed, and it was usually sent to famous cultivation sects. The other was unsigned. It was of low value and could be easily obtained by many people.

Although the invitations were unsigned, they still needed to be registered when entering the island, so he asked politely.

"My surname is Gu, and my name is Chen."

Gu Chen said truthfully. When the disciple heard this, his expression slightly froze.

"My surname is Gu …"

He exchanged a few glances with the brothers next to him, and then immediately became respectful.

"Welcome, Senior Gu. This way, please."

He put down his work and took the initiative to take Gu Chen to the island and climb the mountain.

Gu Chen did not think much about it. He just thought that this was the etiquette here.

The disciple of Mount Penglai politely led Gu Chen up the mountain and into the open-air dojo.

At this time, a large number of cultivators had already gathered here, and the banquet was full.

He led Gu Chen through the huge dojo until they reached a place very close to a pavilion.

Gu Chen looked up and saw the three big words "Penglai Pavilion" written on the pavilion. The handwriting was strong and vigorous, and it was obvious that the writer was extraordinary.

"Senior Gu, please take a seat."

The disciple of Mount Penglai said politely. Gu Chen nodded and sat down at this table.

The moment Gu Chen sat down, many cultivators in the dojo looked at him curiously and discussed.

"Which force is this young talent from? He can actually sit so close to Penglai Pavilion. You should know that the person sitting next to him is a true disciple of the Tai Hao Celestial Sect!"

"Not only the Tai Hao Celestial Sect, but the true disciples of the Gui Yuan Celestial Sect and the Moon Palace are also here!"

Sensing that many people were staring at him, Gu Chen could not help but frown. He realized that something was wrong.

Right now, he was just a nameless overseas independent cultivator. How could they arrange such a front seat for him?

He wanted to call back the disciple of Mount Penglai, but he had already left.

"Hello, Frined Gu. I'm Wang Qian of the Tai Hao Celestial Sect."

Sitting next to Gu Chen, a handsome young man took the initiative to communicate with him in a friendly tone.

"Hello." Gu Chen just nodded.

"I didn't expect that someone from the Gu Family would also come to the Sea and Sky Feast. I asked Gu Ziyan a few days ago, and she said that most people in her family were not interested in the reward of the Penglai Island Master."

A girl with bright eyes and white teeth from the Moon Palace looked at Gu Chen with a smile. "I still don't know Frined Gu's full name."

Hearing her question, everyone at the table looked at Gu Chen.

Deep in thought, Gu Chen soon realized that these people, including the disciple of Mount Penglai, had misunderstood him!

He had heard from Zhuang Fan that the surname Gu was extremely rare on the Immortal Spirit Continent, and almost all of them belonged to the Gu Family.

Perhaps because of this, the disciple of Mount Penglai had mistaken him for an honorable guest from the Gu Family.

The people at the table had also heard how the disciple had addressed him, so they immediately believed that he was from the Gu Family!

Gu Chen sighed inwardly. Although he was from the Gu Family, he was different from what these people thought.

"Tai Hao Celestial Sect, Moon Palace, Gui Yuan Celestial Sect …"

Gu Chen silently recited the names of the sects these people belonged to and realized that they were extraordinary.

According to his grandfather, the 68 Immortal Sects were the most powerful sects on the Immortal Spirit Continent.

In a place like the Immortal Spirit Continent, sects with the word "Immortal" were extremely rare. Only the ancestors of these sects had the qualifications to be called Immortal Sects.

It was said that when the gods descended on the Kunlun Continent 85,555 years ago, the ancestors of the Gu Family and the immortals of the 68 Immortal Sects worked together to destroy the gods.
