The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 200 Ancestral Land (asking for monthly ticket)
Safe zone, Gu family ancestral hall.

Drop drop-

As a line of words appeared on the sunglasses, "Your friend Gu Yueming sent a message."

Gu Shiqian, who was reading the ancestral teachings seriously, frowned slightly.

Gu Yueming went out this time on behalf of the family. His superiors had assigned him a task, which was also an important matter, so he was a little concerned about it.

However, today another new guy is preparing to challenge Jianzhong, and this new guy is quite special.

This was a very solemn occasion, and as the head of the family, he naturally could not be absent-minded.

Therefore, Gu Shiqian did not look at the news, but read the ancestral teachings seriously.

This ceremony lasted for most of the day. After that, several family elders completed some necessary sacrificial steps to open the ancestral sword tomb. Only then did he silently step aside.

At this time, he finally had some free time, and he tapped the black lenses in front of him and silently opened the message prompt. A long paragraph popped up on it.

Gu Yueming: "The head of the family is in trouble, and the investigation mission has encountered difficulties. The details are as follows: xxx, xx..."

"……Oh I got it."

After reading Gu Yueming's very sophisticated official report, Gu Shiqian finally understood what had been issued.

It turned out that during this investigation mission, they encountered an enemy they could not resist.

Because of this, the three major families all lost a lot of people, and in addition to the deaths of some accompanying members of the Gu family, a pair of chief servants who had just become sword masters also died unfortunately.

Gu Shiqian felt a little regretful but also felt it was natural when hearing this news.

In a hunting mission, some people die. Isn't that normal?
What a fuss! Do you really think going hunting is the same as traveling?

Although there are three second-level leaders, it should be relatively safe within the border.

Of course, the younger generations don’t understand. Only those of them who have truly survived the mountains of corpses and seas of blood and experienced great disasters and great terrors will know that there is no so-called “safe place” in this world.

Of course, this means that apart from the safe zone, the safe zone is of course sufficiently secure.

But that wasteland is full of surprises and dangers. If you are unlucky or careless, you will end up dead.

Otherwise, why do you think it is called the Wasteland instead of the "Safe Suburbs"?

Seeing the regret, frustration, discouragement and self-blame clearly revealed in the message from Gu Yueming, Gu Shiqian smiled.

Considering that this famous beauty in the tribe was going on a long journey for the first time, he replied in a casual and considerate manner:

"Every sword master of the Gu family must understand that they should not think that they can sit back and relax after passing the Sword Tomb Trial. They think that they are the best of the best. All this is just the beginning. It is nothing great at all!"

"You must know that inheriting the will of the ancestors and gaining powerful strength comes at a price. They chose a path that faces death directly! This means that this life is destined to have no chance of safety and comfort, but to be spent forever in the trial of blood and fire."

"The dead are indeed a cause for regret, but the sword masters who were killed showed that they were too weak and their death does not deserve sympathy!"

"Only the sword master who has gone through hardships and dangers, and survived through countless trials and tribulations, can maintain the pride passed down by his ancestors."

"This is the only way for our Gu family, the way of the Sword Master!"

-

Gu Yueming on the other end was a little confused.

Master, what are you talking about?
It turns out that in the eyes of the patriarch, the dead members of the Gu family have no value?

Is this a bit too cold-blooded?
"But head of the family, many people died. Gu Pan and I are the only ones alive here. Will the family really not punish me for this?" She said weakly but persistently.

Even though she doesn't have much experience, she is not stupid. No matter what, she has to ask clearly first.

Gu Shiqian on the other side saw it and replied coldly: "No need to say more, I already know about this matter, survival of the fittest, this is the law of nature and the principle of the Tao! You are just a sword servant, just do your duty as a sword servant, there is no need for you to blame yourself too much."

These words sound cold-blooded, arrogant, and even a bit occupationally discriminatory.

However, after seeing this, Gu Yueming felt relieved.

It seemed that the head of the family really didn't intend to cause trouble for her! Unlike some other families, whenever something went wrong, the boss would only think of finding someone to take the blame. For example, she guessed that Tang Rou would definitely not have a good time when she returned this time.

I have to take care of my family!

Be cold-blooded if you want.

Gu Yueming closed the dialog box contentedly.

On the other side, Gu Shiqian also closed the interface of the upgraded network and continued to watch the ancestor worship process on the scene silently.

His entire temperament seems to be only one point approachable, and the remaining nine points are cold-blooded and ruthless.

It seems that, in the eyes of people of his status, the sacrifice of the younger generation is not worth taking seriously at all.

Besides, if you die, you die. What does it matter?

When someone dies, someone is born.

For example, at this moment, another young member of the Gu family has met the qualifications and decided to challenge the Sword Tomb Trial.

Judging from his qualifications and past experience, he will most likely succeed.

"What's the big deal if one or two people die? Can they all die? If one dies, more will be born. They can never all die. They can never all die!"

"My Gu family has so many outstanding descendants, and they are constantly being born. It is at its peak and thriving. Gua!"

Thinking of this, Gu Shiqian smiled freely in his heart.

Another hour passed like this, and the long preparations for the speech were finally over.

An elder of the Gu family with white hair and beard came over and said, "Master, the altar has been set up, we can start now."

Gu Shiqian nodded, turned on the switch next to him, opened the secret passage, and led a group of qualified Gu family members in.

After they entered, a few people were left outside to strictly guard the exit. The rest of the deacons who were watching the ceremony and other idle sword masters stopped here and were not allowed to enter further.

Most sword masters are eligible to enter the underground ancestral land only once in their lifetime when they participate in the trial.

Apart from the head of the family Gu Shiqian and two assassins, the only ones who are eligible to enter again are the elders.

Behind them followed the young member of the Gu family who was going to participate in the Sword Tomb Trial.

His name is Gu Jingyun, and he is now said to be exactly eighteen years old.

His origins are quite interesting. This boy was the illegitimate son of a sword master of the Gu family. He had been raised outside until the sword master died while on a mission not long ago. Then he revealed that he also had an illegitimate son who was extremely talented and hoped to return to his ancestral home.

In view of the fact that he has been diligently performing his duties and making considerable contributions to the family, this request was approved after discussion by the family's top management.

This was of course also due to the fact that Gu Jingyun was indeed very talented. At such a young age, he had already mastered the Gu family breathing method to the highest level. All the elders believed that he was the person with the greatest hope of reaching the top of the Qingyun List of this generation.

You know, the Gu family has actually not been well-known in recent years. Although the young generation of sword masters have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, some of them died prematurely or were not strong enough. There is only one person named Gu Jiangming who has been on the Qingyun list, and he has been at the second level for many years. He is about to break through to the third level, but he is still hundreds of places away. It is obvious that his potential has stopped here.

Today, Gu Jingyun is indeed a promising talent that has caught everyone's attention.

Although he is an illegitimate child, he is not at all stage-frightened and has the eyes of an eagle and the watchful eyes of a wolf, which is really rare.

When he first entered the mysterious ancestral land of the Gu family, he did not have the curiosity and nervousness of the other newcomers. Instead, he was calm and composed.

Most people might think that this kid doesn't know the rules, but many people in the Gu family just like this about him, thinking that he has the demeanor of a king and that Jinling is not someone that can be easily underestimated.

Even his shortcomings, such as being introverted and quiet, are considered very good qualities in the eyes of the elders of the Gu family.

For example, at this moment, he kept looking around, with the temperament of a qualified observer, examining everything here.

After a group of people went several dozen meters underground, they reached the bottom of the passage and came to a relatively open underground cave-like platform. In front of the platform was a circular altar, which was empty except for a circular magic circle covered with mysterious patterns, which seemed to be sealing something.

There is a blank monument in front of us, which is very ancient.

This is the entrance to the Gu family’s true ancestral land, the “Sword Tomb”.

The altar here is placed very tightly, and even a special magic circle is set up so that no one can break through it.

"Please give me the relics of my ancestors."

At Gu Shiqian's command, two assassins opened the secret compartment in front of the inscriptionless monument and took out a leather wooden box.

After opening it, it was found that this "relic of the Gu family's ancestors" was not some kind of magic sword as most people would think. It was actually an old cassock that looked very solemn and dignified.

The elders were all used to it, so naturally they didn't have any doubts about it.

They all looked at Gu Jingyun at the same time, wanting to see his reaction, and found that this boy was different from the others. He did not show any surprise or curiosity. Instead, he looked calm, with a hint of realization and expectation in his eyes.

This performance naturally surprised several elders, and made them even more satisfied with him. They all expressed their feelings that the Tianyou family would surely rise.

They even secretly thought that if there were any female descendants of their own who were of the right age, they could marry him as an "investment".

Only the eldest elder Gu Shiyong was not convinced. After all, among the younger generation of the Gu family, the only one on the list was his son Gu Jiangming.

"This boy is so high-profile that my son Jiang Ming is probably being overshadowed. In time, he may become a strong opponent for the position of family head!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Gu Shiyong's eyes, and this hostility completely overshadowed Gu Pan, who had once humiliated Gu Jiangming.

After all, Gu Pan is a woman and she probably can't be the head of the family, but the boy in front of her is very competitive.

However, he naturally couldn't say this kind of thing openly, so he could only keep it in his heart.

Gu Shiqian didn't know all this. He just calmly took out the ancestral items and bowed solemnly.

Although he always felt that such behavior was unnecessary, the ancestral laws could not be changed. No matter how rebellious Gu Shiqian was, he had to give his ancestors face.

After leading everyone to kowtow, Gu Shiqian said seriously:
"Ancestors, I, Gu Jingyun, a young man of the Gu family, have verified my true identity and bloodline and ask to see the remains of my ancestors. I hope you will have mercy on me!"

After saying this, Gu Shiqian cut his palm and spilled the boiling hot blood, and the elders behind him followed suit.

The cassock seemed to be alive, and the bright red blood was instantly absorbed.

It gradually emitted a bright white light, and then split into three, becoming three constantly floating light balls, emitting a heart-pounding aura, illuminating the entire underground cave as bright as day, sacred and powerful, full of ancient breath.

After a moment, one of the balls of light emerged from the robe.

It condensed into a solid form and transformed into a black bird. It spread a pair of huge wings and let out a cry that echoed throughout the earth.

"Goo-Goo!"

Even though the elders had seen this scene countless times, they still couldn't hide their excitement at this moment.

This is the inheritance of my Gu family!

“Praise the ancestors!”

The elders knelt down in unison and praised their ancestors loudly.

Gu Jingyun naturally knelt down as well. He also recited along with the others, pretending to show an expression that said, "Ah, praise you, my ancestors."

In fact, he stared at the light bird circling in the sky, his eyes full of surprise, but it was a kind of surprise that came from a high position, as if he had seen something interesting.

After a moment, Gu Jingyun lowered his eyes.

There were some black spots of light wriggling in the depths of his eyes, and his body was trembling slightly, shaking with the excitement of having found his target.

No one cared about this scene.

The mysterious bird of light circled in the air for several times and finally crashed into the altar. Holy white light poured in and formed an illusory door with some mysterious large characters on it like a door plaque.

At first glance, it is:
"Yang Fire·Wu Li Zhou Yong: Liu!"

After doing all this, the white bird quickly returned to the cassock, and the entire cassock returned to silence. Only the open door of the ruins still exuded an alluring scent.

Gu Shiqian quickly put away his cassock and said seriously, "Go in. You don't have much time. But before that, according to the rules, I have to ask again. The sword tomb is both an opportunity and a danger. If you are not careful, you will die. Do you want to enter the sword tomb?"

This is actually just a formality, a question, and a way to get the other party to swear an oath.

Things have come to this point. If anyone dares to say that he doesn't want to go in at this time, Gu Shiqian will definitely twist his head off without hesitation.

Gu Jingyun was certainly not stupid, he immediately said: "Disciple will never regret it!"

Gu Shiqian nodded and said, "Go in. Remember, you only have twelve hours. Don't be too greedy. Know when to stop."

He was reminding the other party that the inheritance from ancestors in the sword tomb is so numerous that it will make you dazzled. Young people should know when to stop and learn to be satisfied. They should never want everything.

Gu Jingyun naturally nodded in agreement, but his real thoughts were not known to everyone present.

As Gu Jingyun stepped into the gate of the ruins and entered the interior, the Gu family members outside left the underground, sealed off the place and kept it under tight control.

The surrounding scenery changed. After the other people disappeared, the darkness in Gu Jingyun's eyes was no longer suppressed. It quickly occupied the entire eyeball. A strong aura emanated from his body, showing his true strength.

First-level extraordinary!
He is not a newcomer at all, but an already accomplished first-level "superhuman".

Although this kind of strength is not very strong, it is a transformation from 0 to 1.

Moreover, this is the limit of how low they can go at the moment. If it were any higher, they would be destroyed by the impact.

But, this situation is about to end!
His eyes were dark and deep, and there was an almost cruel smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Great Father God! There really is such a place in this world. It is under the control of the blasphemer. It exists in a space and time where the present and the past are intertwined."

"Moreover, the aura of the Dark Lord can actually exist here and is not driven away by the ubiquitous light fog..."

"Isn't this exactly what we need? With the help of the mysteries of this place, we can achieve great things. We will definitely be able to break through the blockade!"

"All the chosen ones of the gods must submit, and I alone will ascend to the throne and become the only Son of God!"

"Gu Jingyun" walked out of the light circle and entered the ruins of the sword tomb.

Suddenly, he saw everything in front of him.

I saw the devastated land, shrouded in the atmosphere of destruction, and the entire space was torn apart;
I saw countless small sword tombs that looked like swords and people of various kinds, all broken into eight pieces.

Space cracks that are powerful enough to destroy everything are approaching, making it almost impossible for people to stand still, and it seems that they will be destroyed at any time.

Kuacha! Kuacha!
There was a crack in the east and a scar in the west in the air, as if everything had entered a state of annihilation here.

This scene that seemed like the end of the world made Gu Jingyun quickly retreat and want to leave this place.

However, he discovered that the portal behind him was also broken into pieces and could no longer be activated. There was a faint countdown on it, and it looked like three little birds were taking turns circling, or sleeping. It was unknown when a complete, passable door would be formed.

"?"

The evil smile on Gu Jingyun's face froze.

This……

These damn humans...

They actually plotted against me? ! ! !
