Chapter 554

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Lianyue had already disappeared around the corner of the street.

Gu Chen shook his head when he saw that his plan had failed. He pushed open the door and entered the courtyard in front of him.

Just now, his cousin said that his father had lived in this house, which made Gu Chen quite concerned.

Since it was the place where his father had lived, perhaps there would be some clues left here.

The courtyard was quiet and secluded, with a few bamboo trees, a pond, and two or three rooms.

Gu Chen walked into the largest room and found that the doorknob was covered in dust. No one had lived here for at least several months.

The room was clean, neatly arranged, and the layout was comfortable.

The layout of this room reminded Gu Chen of his father's study when he was young. There were many similarities between the two.

For a moment, he believed Gu Lianyue's words.

Sweeping his gaze around the room, Gu Chen quickly noticed that on the table by the window, there were brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. There were also a few scrolls next to it.

His heart moved, and he immediately walked to the table. White Ape jumped down from his shoulder, picked up the scroll, and spread it open.

There was an ink painting in the scroll. In the pavilion, there was a woman smiling sweetly, holding a little boy in her left hand.

The woman's smile and the boy's smile were fixed in the painting, turning into a meaningful memory.

"Father …"

There was a fluctuation in Gu Chen's eyes, and a scene of his childhood appeared in his mind.

That was when he was still in Tian Nan City, a family of three carefree. The woman and the little boy in the painting were his mother and him when he was young.

His father drew well and was brimming with talent. If not for this, it would have been impossible to attract the talented daughter of the Shen family.

Seeing the ink, paper, inkstone, and lifelike painting, Gu Chen was sure that his father had indeed lived here, and when he was here, he had missed his mother and him very much.

This painting was full of longing, and it evoked Gu Chen's memories of his father, and he missed him even more.

"Father, what are you doing there? Do you know that our enemy Huangfu Wuji has been killed, and Grandfather is still alive? Our family can finally live in peace. "

"Mother misses you very much. Grandfather also wants to see you. As for me, I've been looking for you for a very, very long time."

"Great Elder told me that you were cultivating in a secret place, but I felt that there was more to it than meets the eye. If the Gu Clan mistreats you, I promise I won't let it go … "

Gu Chen muttered. As he reached the end of his sentence, he subconsciously clenched his fist.

He stayed in the room where his father had stayed for a long time. In the end, he solemnly put away his father's painting into his storage ring, leaving everything else untouched. Then, he moved into the smaller room next to it.

That night, Gu Chen did not sleep at all. He meditated until dawn.

Everything that had happened on the Primordial Spirit Continent, everything that he had seen and heard in the Gu Clan, made him thirst for power even more, and he was not willing to waste a single moment.

The next day, Gu Chen woke up early and strolled around the Great Desolation Ancient Town.

This small town was located in the middle of the Great Wilderness, and only the six branches of the Gu Clan lived here.

The Realm of Unbounded Desolation was filled with venomous insects and ferocious beasts. Many cultivators were afraid of powerful demonic beasts, but no living being dared to intrude into this ancient town.

Gu Chen noticed that most of the buildings in the town were very old. Apart from the mottled traces of time on the city walls, they also gave off a domineering aura.

"This is … a Tyrant Seal?"

Gu Chen observed carefully, and discovered that there were auras similar to Tyrant Seals within the city walls. The auras were numerous, as if countless generations of Gu Clan ancestors had left their imprints here at the same time.

As time passed, every single brick and tile in Ancient Town of Great Desolation was naturally suffused with an overbearing aura, and this aura was capable of deterring various existences like demons and evil spirits, causing the ancient town to completely become a paradise.

Gu Chen seemed to be able to see that even if the Gu Clan members no longer lived here, any ferocious beasts or malicious spirits that approached this place would flee in panic due to the domineering aura accumulated here.

Walking in the town, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel moved by the ancient and glorious Gu Clan.

He quickly found a clansman and asked for directions. After learning the direction of the Tyrannical Martial Pavilion, he headed towards its location.

The Tyrannical Martial Pavilion was located in a towering tower in the Great Wilderness Ancient Town. It was very easy to recognize because at this time in the morning, the sound of a bell could be heard from the top of the tower, cleansing one's heart.

It was said that the Tyrannical Martial Pavilion was the place where the Gu Clan passed down their teachings. There were countless ancient books hidden there, and many of them had long since become extinct and secret in the Immortal Spirit Continent.

At the same time, the elders and geniuses of the clan would come to the Tyrannical Martial Pavilion every once in a while to discuss the Dao, imparting valuable cultivation experiences.

Gu Chen didn't know if there were any elders teaching in the Tyrannical Martial Pavilion today, but he was very interested in the place where the books were stored.

It was said that the books were all-encompassing, not only about the history of the Immortal Spirit Continent, but also about the Heaven Burial Continent, and even about the entire Ancient Dark Yellow Star.

Not long after, he entered the Tyrannical Martial Pavilion. The first floor was where the books were stored, and there were ancient murals on the four walls. The murals seemed to be related to the origin of the Gu Clan.

Due to the age of the murals, Gu Chen couldn't clearly see the specific story in the murals, but he was attracted by one of the murals.

It was a diagram of the human body. On it, the bones and meridians of the human body were drawn, and on each of the six positions of the human body, there was also a golden bone.

These six positions were the limbs, the chest, and the area near the forehead of the head.

Gu Chen stared at the chest position on the diagram, and thought of his own Tyrant Heavenly Bone.

"This diagram represents the six branches of the Gu Clan. This is the first time you've seen it, Cousin Gu Chen."

A beautiful voice like that of a lark came from the side. Gu Chen couldn't help but turn his head, and found that it was a delicate and pretty girl.

"You are?" Gu Chen asked politely.

"My name is Gu Ziyan, and I'm 63 years old this year. In terms of seniority, I can be considered your cousin."

The girl smiled and introduced herself.

"Ziyan …"

Gu Chen murmured. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, he blurted it out. "You know Ding Yao from the Moon Palace?"

Gu Ziyan was stunned when she heard Gu Chen's words, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Yes, she can be considered a good sister of mine. How does Cousin Gu Chen know her?"

Gu Chen smiled, "If you have the chance to meet her, you can ask her."

Gu Ziyan was confused, but Gu Chen looked at the murals and muttered. "You just said that these murals represent the six branches of the Gu Clan. What do you mean?"

Gu Ziyan didn't bother with Gu Chen's inexplicable words just now, and explained with a smile.

"The six branches of the Gu Clan are divided into the Four Poles, the Dao Pivot, and the Bier. Although every clansman has the Tyrant Blood flowing in their body, the characteristics of each branch are different when they first awaken the Tyrant Heavenly Bone.

"The East Pole awakens the left palm bone, the West Pole awakens the right palm bone, the South Pole awakens the left foot bone, and the North Pole awakens the right foot bone.
