The group entered the city and came to the front of the palace. Lin Feng and the others could feel many auras and fluctuations of consciousness along the way, which were filled with curiosity.
However, the Gu Clan was clearly well-educated. When the clansmen learned that Lin Feng and his disciple had come, they were curious, but they did not panic, nor did they rush to the streets to watch.
Many people stood before the palace. All of them possessed profound cultivations, and they revealed the formidable strength and resources that the Gu Clan had accumulated for many years. Even though they were limited to a corner of the world, and it was difficult for them to recover the flourishing atmosphere they had during the ancient times, they still couldn't be underestimated.
The people gathered here were naturally the elites of the Gu Clan. Even some of the young people with low cultivation were full of spirit and energy, displaying a good appearance and deep potential.
In the center of the crowd was a middle-aged man. He was not very tall, but wherever he stood, that place seemed to be the center of the Ancient Longevity World.
He looked ordinary and unremarkable, but as he breathed, the spirit qi of the entire dimensional world seemed to be swallowed by him.
Zhu Yi looked at him, his gaze becoming more serious. "Then you should be Miss Zhen 'er's father, the current leader of the Gu Clan, Senior Gu Jun, right?"
Xiao Yan nodded. "That's right."
This middle-aged man was extremely handsome, and there were some similarities between his eyebrows and Xiao Zhen 'er's. Even now, he looked like a very handsome man, and the hardships of time only added to his charm.
He wore a simple robe, but he had the majesty of an emperor, not as domineering and vigorous as Liang Pan and Qin Emperor Shi Yu, but more distant and profound.
When Lin Feng saw him, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu, for coming to personally welcome me."
Gu Jun also smiled. "You are too polite, Daoist Gu."
He looked at Xiao Yan, who was beside Lin Feng. Xiao Yan stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, Senior Gu."
Lin Feng's gaze fell on a white-haired old man beside Gu Jun. The old man's expression was calm as he smiled. "I am Gu Yuankai, and I welcome Daoist Gu to the Ancient Longevity World."
"You're welcome, Dao Master Spiritual Awareness." Lin Feng nodded. Other than Gu Jun, Gu Yuankai, Gu Cheng, Gu Peng, and Gu Liang, the other members of the Ancient Emperor's bloodline also stepped forward to pay their respects.
There was a young girl in the crowd. She wore a light green dress, and she was slender and elegant. Her slender figure was untainted by even a speck of dust, and she was like a green lotus that had bloomed in the mortal world.
She smiled and bowed to Lin Feng. "Elder Lin, welcome to the Holy Cross."
Lin Feng sized her up and said with a smile, "Although it took a long time, Miss Zhen 'er's success in this trial is really worth celebrating."
The girl was Xiao Zhen 'er, she smiled and said, "Senior Lin, you flatter me."
She looked at Xiao Yan, and their eyes met. Both of them were overjoyed. Even according to the time of the Vast Thousand World, they hadn't seen each other for several years. Including the time they spent in the Time Grotto, it had been a long time.
For Xiao Zhen 'er, if it wasn't because Lin Feng was here and she was worried about being rude, even if it was in front of her father and the other elders of the family she would have already thrown herself into Xiao Yan's arms and hugged him.
Although the two restrained themselves, this scene was naturally seen by Lin Feng, Gu Jun, and the others.
Gu Yuankai and Gu Cheng looked at each other and communicated with their divine sense. Gu Cheng smiled and said, "A match made in heaven."
"But it also added a lot of trouble for us," Gu Yuankai said calmly. Gu Yuankai said calmly. Gu Cheng glanced at him and said in a similarly calm tone, "Just from the current point of view, being an ally of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is more worthy of our trust. This has nothing to do with strength, but rather with their daily behavior."
"In the ancient times, the Ruthless Bandits rebelled and killed the Longevity Ancestor. They even hunted the other ancestors and clansmen, but the Taixu Temple remained silent. Just because of this, it is hard for me to accept working with them."
Hearing this, Gu Yuankai also fell into silence. That year, the tragic war between the two worlds had ended. The Ancient Emperor was heavily injured in the war against the Demon Clan, and the Ancient Clan's experts also suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Ruthless Sovereign took the opportunity to kill and depose the Ancient Emperor, and made himself the Human Sovereign.
The Ruthless Sovereign's position was originally improper, and after he ascended to the throne, he went against the rules, causing the Divine Land to fall into great chaos and internal wars. The Ruthless Sovereign also gathered some people around him and fought against the human experts who opposed him. That was also the most turbulent period in the ancient era of the Divine Land.
The period when the Ruthless Sovereign was on the throne was also the lowest period in the history of the Taixu Temple.
In the last years of Xia Huang, although Jihuang Shenyuan was defeated, Wen Chiyang died, and the Haotian Mirror, which was not yet complete, was heavily damaged again.
After that, the King Of The Underworld gradually revealed his fangs, and in the battle to depose the King Of The Underworld, the Haotian Mirror aimed at the human experts of the Divine Land for the first time. In the end, although it killed the King Of The Underworld, the Haotian Mirror's recovery was almost indefinitely delayed, and the second generation Temple Master of the Taixu Temple, who was also the last of the Four Heroes of the Great Void, Yan Xinghe, died.
In the war between the two worlds, when the Ancient Emperor was seriously injured, the third generation Temple Master of the Taixu Temple also died. Before the Taixu Temple fully recovered, the Haotian Mirror worked together with the Ancient Emperor to kill the Saint Emperor of the Demon Clan at that time, but its recovery was still a long way off.
The Taixu Temple also entered the weakest period in its history, and the fourth generation Temple Master Chang Yun, who took over the position, chose to stay silent and defend the White Cloud Mountain at the beginning of the Ruthless Sovereign's rampage.
Although his decision bought time for the Taixu Temple and the Haotian Mirror to recover, and in the last years of the ancient era, the Haotian Mirror aimed at the human experts of the Divine Land for the second time, and joined forces with the Tianmen to kill the Ruthless Sovereign, putting an end to the tyranny together. However, such a decision naturally did not make the descendants of the Ancient Emperor happy.
Gu Cheng said calmly, "Ancestor Chang Sheng has already died, and Heavenly Emperor Kong and the Tianmen have not reached their peak yet. If the Taixu Temple takes action, it will be difficult for them to do so alone. Although they can keep the Ruthless Sovereign in check, it will cause the Haotian Mirror to recover slower and slower. This is not wrong, and I am not naive enough to think that the Taixu Temple should have fought the Ruthless Sovereign to protect the ancient race, and no one owes anyone anything."
"However, an eye for an eye. Since no one owes anyone anything, it naturally doesn't stop me from choosing to support their enemies if I don't like them. What they chose back then was their freedom, and what they choose now is our freedom."
Gu Yuankai looked at Lin Feng, who was talking to Gu Jun, and sighed. "Times have changed, and time has passed. It is no longer the same as it was in the past. You and I should help the Clan Leader decide the future of our race, but we should still act rationally and not personally."
Gu Cheng said indifferently, "Rationally speaking, both sides are evenly matched, and it is difficult to tell who is better. At this time, we will naturally have to see who is better or worse."
Gu Yuankai shook his head. "The key lies in the war between the two worlds. Let us wait and see."
As the two were talking, while the Gu people greeted Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yang Qing, and Li Yuanfang also spread their mana. Tang Jun, Yan Wuwei, Lin Tong, Yang Tie, Ying Luozha, Zhou Yuncong, Tan Yunqing, and other junior disciples appeared together.
A total of sixty-four Profound Gate disciples instantly lined up behind Lin Feng and the others, and then bowed to Gu Jun and the others. "Greetings, seniors and fellow Daoists."
Although little Lin Tong had formed her Nascent Soul long ago, she still maintained the appearance of a twelve or thirteen year old. She bowed to Gu Jun and the others.
But she still secretly winked at Xiao Zhen 'er, and Xiao Zhen' er couldn't help but smile.
Gu Jun and the others smiled and nodded. "Profound Gate disciples indeed live up to their reputation."
They weren't just being polite. From Gu Jun, Gu Yuankai, and Gu Cheng to the other Primordial Divinity Realm experts and Gu clansmen, they all looked at Tang Jun and the others with narrowed eyes.
This time, the disciples who came with Lin Feng and Xiao Yan to the Ancient Longevity World didn't have the same cultivation level. There were also junior disciples who were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
In the eyes of Gu Jun and the others, they didn't have any secrets to speak of. Their real age and cultivation level could be seen at a glance. But comparing the two, the Gu people were naturally slightly shocked.
Gu Yuankai's white brows slightly furrowed. "I remember ten years ago, when Xuanmen Tianzong opened their doors for the third time and held the Kunlun Dharma Assembly, the news was that all direct disciples who cultivated for more than five years would all reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Gu Cheng nodded. "Indeed. But looking at the cultivation speed of the new generation of direct disciples, it seems that it's even faster than before."
Gu Yuankai pondered and said, "Although there are many people in the Vast Thousand World, the number of good seedlings suitable for cultivation is still limited. There are also Taixu Temple, the Great Qin Dynasty, and other forces competing. The new generation of direct disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong might not be much better than before …"
"It's the difference in nurturing conditions." Gu Cheng said Slowly, "As Xuanmen Tianzong's strength continues to grow, their methods and resources to nurture disciples also continue to improve."
"It seems that the news they received from Ding of Shenzhou is true. Only a treasure like Ding of Shenzhou can allow the overall average level of the disciples to develop by leaps and bounds again."
Gu Yuankai muttered to himself, "Xia Huang's Ding of Shenzhou …"
His gaze swept across Tang Jun, Lin Tong, Yang Tie, Zhou Yuncong, and Ying Roza. "They're all very young, and they haven't just formed their Nascent Souls. It's very likely that some of them already have the confidence to break through to the middle stage of Yuanying. Now that they have such magical powers and methods, they can only form their Nascent Souls even earlier. It's very likely that they haven't cultivated for more than fifty years."
He then looked at Yan Wuwei, Tan Yunqing, and the others. "They must have reached the peak of the late stage of Golden Elixir and are only one step away from forming their Nascent Souls."
Even though Gu Yuankai had lived for a long time and had seen many things, he still felt shocked at this moment.
An early stage Yuanying cultivator or a late stage Golden Elixir cultivator was nothing to him. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that with just a glance, the other party was already a dead man.
Gu Yuankai also wouldn't care about a genius who successfully passed the Void Thunder Tribulation within fifty years and formed a Yuanying cultivator. In his long life, he had naturally seen such geniuses, and not just one or two of them.
But a group of such outstanding geniuses had appeared in front of him at the same time, and they were all from the same sect, belonging to the first or second generation of disciples of neighboring sects. This caused Gu Yuankai to be moved.
