Chapter 586
When Gu Chen appeared in front of Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming, he was in high spirits and his eyes were as bright as stars.
It was clear that he had obtained a great fortune. Seeing this, the two of them smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"How long did it take me to absorb the Tyrant Martial Origin Jade?"
Gu Chen felt relieved when he saw the two. Since they were still here, it meant that he did not exceed the stipulated time.
"Cousin, you used a total of 79 days. Fortunately, you finished it in time. Otherwise, we would not be able to return in time."
Gu Ziyan said quickly because Gu Chen and the others only had six days left to return. They were in a hurry.
Thus, even if she was very curious about how much fortune Gu Chen had obtained, she could only urge him to hurry.
After all, if there was any delay on the way back, they would miss the opportunity to open the exit.
"Then let's hurry back."
Gu Chen felt a little regretful. He originally wanted to cultivate in the Ancestral Land for a few days to see if he could improve his control over his abilities. It seemed that it would not work now.
The two naturally did not object. The three packed up and rushed to the exit as fast as they could.
…
Outside the Gazing Ancient Altar, the four elders of the Gu Clan raised their heads in anticipation. The light gate on the altar had already appeared.
"I wonder what kind of fortune those three children obtained. We have to ask them later."
An elder said with a smile, his face full of anticipation.
"We don't have that time. Yesterday, the elders of the Bi Xia Villa sent the invitation to the Immortal Ascension Feast. Today, the clan leader and the great elder have already gathered all the young disciples and are preparing to select the people who will accompany them. When the three children come out, I will bring them directly to the Ancient Town Square."
Another elder said while shaking his head.
"Oh? This year's Immortal Ascension Feast is earlier than ten years ago. "The other elders were quite surprised.
"I heard from the people of the Bi Xia Villa that this year's Ancient Dao Tea bloomed earlier. If we don't hurry up and hold the feast, we will miss the best time to harvest it. That's why we are in a hurry."
The elder explained.
"Ancient Dao Tea, tsk tsk, that taste is really unforgettable. It's good to be young. I really envy these children, they still have the opportunity to taste the supreme grade immortal tea. "
"Come on, when you were young, you at least participated in the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly. How could we have such good fortune? Hmph! In my opinion, we should negotiate with the 68 Immortal Sects and increase the number of slots for our clan. "
"Look at you. Drinking tea during the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly is only secondary. This is a grand assembly that happens once every ten years. The patriarch and the sect masters of the 68 Immortal Sects have many important matters to discuss."
As the four elders chatted, the door of light on the altar suddenly flickered, and then three people walked out successively!
It was Gu Chen's group of three. As soon as they returned to the ancient town, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief, but their faces were filled with exhaustion.
Because they were in a hurry, they spurred their horses along the way and finally returned at the appointed time.
For a whole 94 days, they were in the strange and dazzling secret realm that was full of danger. The three of them felt as if they had been separated from each other for a lifetime.
"The three of you look very tired. I should have let you have a good rest since you've just returned, but the clan leader has ordered that you follow me to the ancient town square first."
One of the elders said with a smile.
"Why are we going to Ancient Town Square?"
The three of them were dumbfounded.
"The Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly is about to begin. All the young people in the clan have gathered together and are waiting for the three of you."
The elder gave a simple explanation before leading the way.
"Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly?"
Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming's faces lit up and they hurried to follow the elder.
"What's the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly?"
Gu Chen did not understand the situation, so he followed behind the two of them and asked.
"Cousin Gu Chen, you've just returned from overseas, so it's normal that you don't know about the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly. This grand assembly is hosted by the Bluecloud Villa, one of the 68 Immortal Sects. It's held every ten years and can be said to be the highest level conference in the Primordial Spirit Continent.
"During the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly, the Sect Masters of the 68 Immortal Sects, the patriarch of the Gu Clan, and all the big shots on the continent will appear! Every time the grand assembly is held, the leaders of all the forces will gather to discuss important matters. Some of the decisions they make can often have a profound impact on the entire continent. Therefore, every time the grand assembly is held, it will become the focus of the entire continent! "
Gu Ziyan explained with a smile.
"It sounds amazing, but what does this grand assembly have to do with us?"
Gu Chen saw the excitement on Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming's faces, as if they had found a treasure.
"Cousin, you may not know this, but in the Bluecloud Villa, there is an Ancient Dao Tea Tree that has existed since ancient times. This Ancient Dao Tea Tree blooms once every ten years, and the tea flowers can be made into Ancient Dao Tea with endless magical effects. Drinking a cup will bring endless benefits.
"For the sake of this Ancient Dao Tea, the major forces once fought each other. Later on, the rules were slowly set. At the Immortal Ascension Banquet that is held once every ten years, all the major forces will have a certain quota to drink the tea.
"My Gu Clan has a fixed quota of ten during the Immortal Ascension Banquet. Five of the quotas are for the elders of the clan, and the other five are for the younger generation.
"Who in the world doesn't know about the Ancient Dao Tea? Those who can drink this tea are either heroes or peerless geniuses. Now that we have this opportunity, don't you think it's worth celebrating? "
Gu Shenming beamed with joy.
Gu Chen understood. It turned out that the Clan Leader had gathered all the young disciples to choose the people who would accompany them to the Immortal Ascension Banquet, and the people who would accompany them would be able to drink the Ancient Dao Tea!
He did not know how magical this Ancient Dao Tea was, but seeing the two of them so happy, it was obviously priceless.
The three of them quickly arrived at the square of the ancient town. When they arrived, all the young disciples of the Gu Clan had already arrived, lined up neatly.
Gu Lian Yue and Gu Zhaixing stood at the front of the line with their hands behind their back, like cranes among chickens.
As soon as Gu Chen and his two companions arrived, all eyes fell on them with a swoosh.
The three of them had been in the Ancestor's Land for a total of 94 days, and now they had finally come out. Everyone was curious about how much good fortune they had obtained inside.
In particular, those who were similar in strength to the three of them were especially concerned about this matter, and revealed deep hostility.
Today, the Clan Leader had chosen the people who would accompany them to the Immortal Ascension Banquet, so he must have chosen the most talented of the younger generation.
The Immortal Ascension Banquet was not as simple as drinking tea. Once every ten years, all the major forces would gather together, and the younger generation would fight and learn from each other, and this was related to the reputation of each force.
Therefore, the Clan Leader would definitely choose the most outstanding of the younger generation, and only the five most outstanding people would be qualified to drink a cup of Ancient Dao Tea.
Other than Gu Lian Yue and Gu Zhaixing, the two Heaven's Favorites who would definitely be able to accompany them, everyone else present had the opportunity. They were all competitors, so the atmosphere at the moment was especially tense.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's discuss which five people will accompany us to Bi Xia Villa this time."
Seeing that Gu Chen and the other two had joined the line, the Clan Leader Gu Xuanwu spoke indifferently.
