Chapter 678

After dealing with the two immortal corpses, the cultivators continued forward, treading on thin ice.

Gu Chen looked around, searching for something in the darkness.

"How is it?" Gu Lianyue asked softly.

Gu Chen shook his head.

Gu Chen was looking forward to meeting his ancestors again when he entered the Earth Core this time, hoping that they could clarify what they had said the last time.

But they had been deep in for so long, and had encountered two immortal corpses, but the Gu ancestors had not shown themselves.

This made Gu Chen very worried. Could something have happened to the ancestors after they saved him last time?

"We're almost at the primordial ruins." Soon, Wu Lingxian spoke, rousing everyone's spirits.

As far as their eyes could see, many irregular rock formations began to appear. Countless skeletons were hidden in the rock formations, already covered in dust like amber, as if they had been buried here hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Walking past the rugged rock formations and over the hills, in the eternal darkness ahead, there were buildings that dotted the ground like sparks.

They were stone pagodas, glowing with phosphorescent light, appearing especially eerie in the darkness.

The stone pagodas were densely packed, as if there were countless of them. Among them, there were a total of eighteen of the largest stone pagodas.

"This is the primordial ruins?"

Many mighty figures looked at Wu Lingxian in shock. This was very different from what they had imagined.

Some primordial ruins would occasionally be discovered on the Primordial Spirit Continent. Those were cave abodes left behind by primordial immortals or mighty figures, and every place was different.

But the primordial ruins here were too densely packed, and every place looked almost the same, subverting their imaginations.

"I was also very surprised when I first came here."

Wu Lingxian pointed at one of the eighteen pagodas in the distance. "I entered that pagoda back then. If you look closely, you will find that it is different from the other stone pagodas."

Hearing this, everyone looked closely and found that the light of the pagoda in the distance was much dimmer than the other pagodas.

"In that case, no one has entered the other places?"

Many mighty figures looked at each other, seeing the eagerness in each other's eyes.

Everyone quickened their steps and stepped into the forest of pagodas.

As soon as he entered the Pagoda Forest, a heavy, oppressive, and uncontrollable grief welled up in his heart.

It was as if this was not a relic, but the resting place of the ancestors.

Many cultivators could clearly see the stone towers. Some of the stone towers even had skeletons embedded in the walls. Those skeletons had swords stabbed into the ground, their postures forever frozen for an instant.

It was as if they had made the same choice countless years ago, sealing themselves here and assimilating with the great earth.

"How did this place form?"

Many almighty figures were moved. They had felt that it was strange when they found out that the ruins looked the same. Now that they saw the appearance of the skeleton in the stone tower, they felt that there was a big story behind this place.

However, no one could answer this question. The ancient era could be traced back to 855,555 years ago. In such a long period of time, all the secrets had been buried.

The only thing they could see were the ghastly stone statues, and the only thing they could feel was the tragedy of their ancestors dying here.

When everyone walked into the center of the pagoda forest, tears streamed down their cheeks unknowingly.

It was an instinct that came from the depths of their bloodline. Even Grotto-Heaven realm almighty figures could not control it.

"The Old Man can feel that stone tower calling out to me."

The sect master of the Supreme Vast Immortal Sect looked at a stone tower in the distance.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword is vibrating. Could there be a treasure left behind by a peerless sword immortal here?"

The immortal sword in the sect master's hand had a mind of its own and pointed in a certain direction.

Many of the cultivators present more or less sensed it and looked in different directions.

"Since there are so many relics here, let's move on our own?"

The almighty figures quickly came to an agreement and led their people to disperse.

With supreme treasures in front of them, no one was willing to fall behind. If they moved faster, they might have time to seize more opportunities.

The only ones still standing in place were Wu Lingxian, Gu Chen, and all the experts of the Gu clan.

The others had more or less sensed the stone tower's calling, but only the Gu clan did not.

The Gu clan's bloodline was born after the ancient catastrophe. Since these relics were left behind by ancient cultivators, no matter how powerful the inheritance was, it was not suitable for the Gu clan.

The Gu clan did not step into the sinkhole for these relics. At this moment, Gu Xuanwu, Gu Yao, and the others were all looking at Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen, where is the ancestor? You really are a liar! "

Gu Yuanshan looked at Gu Chen with a vicious gaze. He had the urge to attack.

He had been humiliated for the past six months, but because of the alliance, he could not attack Gu Chen.

Now that he had found the ancient relics, the Heavenly Law Oath had lost its effect. He had a strong desire to kill Gu Chen.

If it was not for the fact that Gu Chen was with Wu Lingxian, and the clan master and the grand elder's attitude towards him was not firm enough, he wanted to attack now.

"I don't understand what's going on."

Gu Chen ignored Gu Yuanshan and looked at Gu Xuanwu and Gu Yao.

"Gu Chen, you said that you met the ancestor. They asked us to gather everyone's strength and enter the Earth Eye to stop someone. Otherwise, there will be a disaster in Ancient Cang Huang Star."

"But now that the threat of the ancient corpse tide has been solved by us, we have not seen the person the ancestor asked us to stop. We haven't even seen the ancestor. Please give us an explanation!"

Gu Xuanwu was obviously angry. He felt that Gu Chen was lying.

He was not the only one. Many other elders also looked gloomy. Even Gu Yao looked at Gu Chen with deep disappointment in his eyes.

"Gu Chen, do you know how many of our relatives were there when your ancestor and great-ancestor brought a large number of experts into the sinkhole?"

Gu Yao sighed and said.

Back then, some of the Gu Family members who had followed the clan leader of the Dao Shu branch into the Heaven Pit's Earth Eye were the brothers and even the fathers of the elders present.

They went through many hardships to come here and wanted to see their relatives, but they didn't even find their bones!

"We haven't reached the end yet. Maybe the ancestor is somewhere else. As long as we keep going, maybe they will show up. "

Gu Chen frowned.

"Enough!" Gu Xuanwu shouted angrily.

Gu Chen was speechless. He found that many elders of the Gu clan were looking at him with cold eyes, just like Gu Yuanshan was looking at him.

"It seems that everyone has finally woken up and knows that this kid is hopeless."

Gu Yuanshan saw this and walked out, looking at Gu Chen with eyes full of schadenfreude.

Outsiders thought that Gu Chen and the Gu clan had broken off long ago, but only those who were at the top of the clan knew that most of the people in the clan had always had fantasies about this Heaven's Chosen One.

They had never really given up on Gu Chen and had always fantasized that he would one day return to the clan. Even the grand elder had suggested many times that Gu Chen should be grounded in the clan.
