Chapter 608
In order to cut off the shackles that Huangfu Wuji had placed on the Gu Clan, he had sought help from his own clansmen. In the end, he was treated with indifference and neglect.
Gu Chen looked at the painting and imagined what kind of state of mind his father was in when he finally chose to leave the Gu Clan. Had he ever thought that he would eventually die in a foreign land?
"This is not my hometown. The Kunlun Continent's Tiannan City in the Eastern Wilderness is."
Gu Chen murmured. His vision had become blurry.
He had crossed the sea to find his father, but he did not expect to get such a result.
They would be separated forever, never to see each other again …
"Squeak squeak."
White Ape could feel the endless sorrow in Gu Chen's heart. He moved closer to him and comforted him in a low voice.
The tears in Gu Chen's eyes evaporated before they could fall. His eyes gradually became crazy, indifferent, and desperate.
"I will definitely take revenge for this!"
...
The second day of the Immortal Ascension Grand Ceremony arrived as scheduled. Although Wu Lingxian's death on the first day, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the cultivators who participated in the ceremony.
From today onwards, a batch of Ancient Dao Tea would be released every day. Cultivators from all over the world would compete and learn from each other. The winner would drink the tea and become famous, while the loser would leave gloomily.
This was a battlefield for young cultivators. Countless young people came from the seven major regions of the Immortal Spirit Continent with longing and ambition, fantasizing about becoming famous in the next few days.
In this grand ceremony that attracted the attention of the whole continent, the most discussed young talents were the Ten Heaven's Favorites of the continent.
Each of these ten people was extremely talented and had a strong background. At a young age, they were already famous throughout the continent.
They followed their elders to the Immortal Ascension Grand Ceremony. Everyone predicted that there would be a battle between the Heaven's Favorites.
These Heaven's Favorites not only represented the highest level of the younger generation, but also the future of the forces behind them.
There was almost no suspense. As long as they did not die prematurely, they would either become the leaders of the Immortal Sects or the lords of the aristocratic families, standing at the peak of the continent.
Their battle at the Immortal Ascension Grand Ceremony was equivalent to a battle between the strongest of the continent in the future. How could people not be fascinated?
Therefore, before the second day of the ceremony, a large number of cultivators had already gathered in the plaza. The most discussed topic was the Ten Heaven's Favorites.
Everyone was looking forward to how many of the top 65 prodigies would appear today. What kind of sparks would there be between them?
When the time came, the teams of the 68 Immortal Sects walked into the square one after another. The crowd was already boiling with excitement.
"Look! That's Zhang Xi from the Tai Chi Immortal Sect. It's said that he can set up the Innate Eight Trigrams Array in a single breath. He's said to be the strongest in defense among the younger generation of the continent! "
"The Supreme Sword Sect's Gao Mingjian is also here. He is the most eye-catching sword cultivator in the Supreme Sword Sect for the past thousand years!"
"Heavenly Dao Sect's Zuo Chunqiu, Blue Smelting Faction's Fairy Blue Lotus, Supreme Vastness Immortal Sect's Fatty Pang!"
The cultivators in the square were in a heated discussion. Their gazes were all focused on the ten publicly acknowledged Heaven's Favorites of the continent. Everywhere they passed, they were met with awe and respect.
Their accomplishments were earned through fighting, and each of them had accomplished incredible feats that shook the entire continent.
In the past, such characters only existed by word of mouth, but today, they had all appeared in real life!
When the Gu Clan's procession passed through the plaza, the sounds of discussion became even louder.
"Look! They were Gu Lianyue and Gu Zhaixing of the Gu Clan! The Gu Clan has two heroes. The two Heaven's Favorites are like the dazzling twin stars that illuminate the future of the Gu Clan! "
"The female overlord, Gu Lianyue, is already very impressive. Gu Zhaixing has also been gaining momentum in recent years. Rumor has it that he is very likely to become the next Gu Clan Leader!"
Many cultivators focused their gazes on Gu Zhaixing and Gu Lianyue. Their eyes were full of awe and worship.
Even some of the elders from the major Immortal Sects were jealous. The Gu Clan alone occupied two spots on the Heaven's Favorite Roll. Their luck was too prosperous.
Under everyone's gaze, Gu Chen was at the back of the Gu Clan's procession. His white hair was very special.
Today, he had changed into a black martial artist's uniform, which perfectly accentuated his streamlined muscles and made him look tall and handsome.
His face was cold, and he turned a deaf ear to the noise around him as if none of it had anything to do with him.
White Ape squatted on Gu Chen's shoulder. Today, he was also much quieter than usual, as if he understood Gu Chen's current state of mind.
"Are you feeling better?"
Gu Lianyue deliberately slowed her steps and came to Gu Chen's side.
It was extremely rare to see a female overlord with such a gentle tone.
"No problem." Gu Chen only replied with two words. His attitude was much more distant than usual.
Gu Lianyue noticed this and sighed inwardly. It seemed that Gu Chen would not be able to let go of his father's matter in a short period of time.
This was human nature. She could only hope that he could slowly walk out of it himself.
Although Gu Zhaixing was walking in front, he also divided some of his attention to pay attention to Gu Chen.
Seeing that his attitude towards Gu Lianyue had become much colder, Gu Zhaixing sneered inwardly.
'It seems that this brat won't take it lying down. Sooner or later, he will find me to settle the score for his useless father. If he makes a move on me, it will be for the best. I will find a chance to cripple him and send him to reunite with his father! '
As he was thinking this, Gu Yuanshan's voice came into his mind.
"Zhaixing, based on the situation today, challenge Zuo Chunqiu or Gao Mingjian. As long as you can defeat them, your prestige will definitely soar. As for that Gu Chen, don't take it to heart. Compared to the two Heaven's Favorites, he is insignificant. Do you understand? "
Gu Zhaixing's expression changed as he replied telepathically. "Ancestor Xuan, don't worry. In order to challenge Zuo Chunqiu, I have already prepared for a long time. Today, I am quite confident. As for that fellow Gu Chen, heh, if it weren't for you guys stopping me yesterday, I would have crippled him. I have never taken him seriously. "
"Very good. Focus on preparing for the battle. You will definitely shine in today's grand event."
As the two of them conversed secretly, the Gu Clan's team had already walked onto the high platform. One by one, they sat down in their respective seats.
Gu Chen sat in the corner, expressionless. He did not speak to anyone as he poured himself a cup of wine and drank by himself.
As the wine flowed through his intestines, killing intent burned in his heart.
The calmer he looked, the more his heart surged!
The leader of the Bluecloud Villa stepped onto the platform again. He smiled and slightly raised his hand. All the cultivators present quieted down.
"Who in the world does not know about the Ancient Dao Tea? There will be a hero every ten years. "
"This year's Ancient Dao Tea has a good harvest. On the first day of the tea battle, there will be a total of five cups of Ancient Dao Tea. They will be given to the five most talented young people."
"Young people from the seven major regions, let's go all out and fight!"
After he finished speaking, everyone cheered and their enthusiasm soared.
Not only were the young cultivators below the platform eager to try, but even the ten Heaven's Favorites from the various factions on the high platform instantly exchanged glances with each other. Sparks flew everywhere!
