Chapter 679
"Lian Yue, come over here."
Gu Yao said to Gu Lian Yue, who was walking beside Gu Chen.
Gu Lian Yue hesitated for a moment. Seeing the Grand Elder's determined eyes, she walked over.
Gu Chen watched Cousin Lian Yue leave and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
He had left the Gu Clan a long time ago. He thought that these people's misunderstanding wouldn't have any impact on his emotions.
But looking at the Grand Elder's disappointed look and the expressions of the Clan Head and the other elders, he realized that he actually cared a little.
No matter what, these were his clansmen, and they used to care about him. The feeling of being misunderstood and abandoned was very uncomfortable.
"I didn't lie!"
Gu Chen gritted his teeth. He did see the ancestor, and what he said was the truth.
Gu Xuanwu took a deep look at Gu Chen, then looked at Wu Lingxian, who was beside him. "The next time we see people from the Martial Arts Hall, we will be enemies. Let's go. "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, followed by the Grand Elder and the others.
Gu Yuanshan looked at Gu Chen unwillingly. It seemed that his nephew still cared about the old relationship. Even at this point, he still wasn't willing to eliminate this traitor!
They had so many people and brought so many immortal artifacts. A mere Wu Lingxian wasn't a match for them at all!
Gu Yuanshan didn't dare to challenge Wu Lingxian alone. He looked at Gu Chen with resentment and left with the Gu Clan's troops.
Only Gu Chen and Wu Lingxian were left. Wu Lingxian looked at Gu Chen and revealed a smile.
"Don't bother about them. Follow me."
Wu Lingxian led the way in front, and Gu Chen followed behind without thinking much.
Although there were many ruins here, he didn't have much desire to explore them. He still cared about the ancestor's words.
He believed that the ancestor wouldn't lie to him, but the situation in this pit was very different from what he imagined.
"Everything seems to be wrong."
Gu Chen frowned. After entering the Earth Hole, other than encountering two Immortal corpses, everything seemed to have gone smoothly.
The Heaven Sinkhole and the Earth Eye were notorious, but the danger they encountered seemed to be within an acceptable range, and there were not many casualties.
"Jiji!"
White Ape squatted on Gu Chen's shoulder, looking left and right, eager to try.
There were so many stone pagodas here, and it seemed that every one of them hid some treasures, causing the little fellow to be especially excited.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of fighting came from afar. Gu Chen looked in the direction of the sound.
In order to compete for the good fortune in the stone pagoda, the cultivators of the various sects, who were originally companions, began to kill each other.
Gu Chen saw Zuo Chunqiu, who was fighting with the twelve chief disciples and elite disciples of the immortal sects.
It seemed like the Twelve Immortal Sects had already made arrangements for Zuo Chunqiu. They didn't want him to obtain any good fortune here. Therefore, the Sect Leader and Elders were responsible for fighting for the other ruins, while the disciples united, intending to get rid of Zuo Chunqiu here.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me? This ruin is mine! "
Zuo Chunqiu's 94 incarnations appeared at the same time, fighting with the elites of the various sects for a while.
"That is …"
Because of their movements, Gu Chen noticed the stone pagoda they were fighting for and felt a faintly discernible power of time lingering there.
"The Secret Time Technique!" He murmured, realizing that Zuo Chunqiu would not give up that place no matter what.
"It's not just the Secret Time Technique. Every stone pagoda here seems to represent a powerful inheritance."
After cultivating the Immortal Ascension Art, although Gu Chen had not yet formed an immortal body, his senses had become more and more acute. He could feel the calling of the stone pagoda in all directions from different forces.
"We're here."
Gu Chen followed Wu Lingxian to one of the eighteen largest stone pagodas, which was also the dimmest one.
This was the place where Wu Lingxian had found his fortuitous opportunity. Gu Chen did not expect that Wu Lingxian would bring him here.
The two walked into the stone pagoda, and the surrounding stone walls suddenly disappeared, turning into a sea of light.
It was very strange. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary stone pagoda, but inside, there was a different world, like a small world!
"There are many stone pagodas here. Do you know their origins?"
The two were in the sea of light, and the door had disappeared. Wu Lingxian sat in the void and said indifferently.
Gu Chen shook his head.
"The stone pagodas here are formed from the flesh and blood of ancient human cultivators. The place we have entered now is the inner world of an ancient warrior."
"After a cultivator of a certain realm dies, his body will not rot, and the small world inside his body will not easily collapse."
"When a cultivator dies, his consciousness will merge into his inner world, leaving behind a so-called inheritance imprint. If someone enters here in the future, as long as their talent is acceptable, they will have a high chance of obtaining the inheritance. "
Wu Lingxian explained. Gu Chen was surprised to hear this. He did not expect the stone pagodas to have such an origin.
He also had doubts in his heart. How did Wu Lingxian know about this?
"05 years ago, I set off from a remote deserted island in the sea. In order to embark on the path of cultivation, I visited the 68 Immortal Sects. However, the 68 Immortal Sects thought that I was stupid and refused to take me in. "
Wu Lingxian recalled the past.
"Finally, an elder of the Supreme Hao Celestial Sect took a fancy to my tenacity and took me in as a medicine boy. However, he was killed by a villain, and I was chased out of the Supreme Hao Celestial Sect because of that villain."
"With no other way, I came to the Deep Demon Sea and heard about the legend of the sinkhole. I don't know what gave me the courage to enter the sinkhole alone."
"At that time, the zombie tide had not broken out yet, and it was far less dangerous than it is now. I finally came here and obtained the inheritance of the ancient warrior."
"What do you think happened after that?"
Gu Chen did not know why Wu Lingxian was telling him this, but he still made some guesses. "It seems like after Hall Master Wu's cultivation is successful, he will definitely take revenge on the evildoers from back then."
Wu Lingxian shook his head.
"When I first started cultivating, I did think so. However, as I stayed here for a longer time, I gradually became numb to all worldly restraints."
"I cultivated for decades and forgot about the hatred of the Immortal Sect Elder who recognized me and my father who was still waiting for me on the deserted island in the sea. Occasionally, I would think about them and that my father might have aged, but I was not moved at all. "
Wu Lingxian's words made one shudder. He seemed to have reached the stage of forgetting emotions while cultivating.
Gu Chen frowned. Ever since he entered the sinkhole, Hall Master Wu seemed to have become a little strange.
"Deserted island in the sea and cultivated 05 years ago?"
Gu Chen's eyes suddenly contracted as he recalled a person from Wu Lingxian's words.
"I wonder if Hall Master Wu's original surname was Wu?" Gu Chen took a deep breath.
"No, my original surname was Ling. However, after I was obsessed with martial arts, I changed my name to Wu Lingxian. I intended to suppress all immortals with my martial arts."
Wu Lingxian answered expressionlessly.
Surname Ling!
Gu Chen couldn't help but recall the old fisherman, Ling Ping, who once helped him and guarded the deserted island alone in the sea, waiting for his son, Ling Fuan, to return home!
The old man waited for his entire life, but until his death, his son didn't return to see him. Even his tombstone was erected by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen recalled the old man's concern and reluctance to part with his son before his death. Then, he looked at Wu Lingxian's numbness when recalling the past. Gu Chen shuddered.
