Chapter 574: Entering the Ancestral Land
Two days have passed in a flash, and today is the day to enter the ancestral land.
Gu Chen, dressed in a white robe, put the white ape into the beast breeding bag, and came to the Great Elder's residence early in the morning.
After a while, Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming also came, and the three of them nodded tacitly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Two days ago, the three of them had already discussed the specific matters of cooperation after entering the ancestral land, so now they have changed from competitors to companions who help each other.
Not long after the three of them gathered, Great Elder Gu Yao pushed the door and walked out of his residence, and the three of them immediately saluted.
"No need to be polite, since everyone has arrived, let's go to the Wanggu Altar. ”
He smiled and led the way ahead, and everyone came all the way to the depths of the Great Wilderness Ancient Town.
This place is already the important place of the Gu clan, through the dense ancient wood forest, in front of the open ground, an ancient altar appeared.
This Wanggu altar is made of yellow clay, and a large array is depicted on the altar, and eighteen ancient totem stone pillars are scattered around it in turn according to the direction.
When everyone arrived, there were already three elders present, and according to the rules, at least four elders must be present every time the ancestral land was opened.
Among the three elders, only one female elder, Gu Chen, was more familiar, and when she first came back, she asked herself what she needed, and she was kind to her.
If I remember correctly, she should be called Gu Qingxia.
When everyone gathered, the Great Elder and the three elders stood on the four sides of the altar, each sealing and performing the ancient method.
The altar gradually changed under their spells, and the magic array patterns on the altar lit up one by one.
The totems on the surrounding eighteen stone pillars were also glowing, and the strange beasts depicted on them seemed to be alive, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.
Gu Chen sensed it with his heart, and found that the space here suddenly became extremely active, and the altar was even more as if it was about to turn into nothingness.
Bang!
At a certain moment, a door of light appeared on the altar, connecting to an unknown time and space.
After the casting of the four elders ended, Great Elder Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief on his face and looked at Gu Chen and the three of them.
"The entrance to the ancestral land has been opened, and as usual, you can stay in it for forty-nine days, and after forty-nine days we will open it again and take you out. ”
"You must remember well, enter the ancestral land and strictly follow the road map left by the ancestors, and don't be bewitched by other scenery on the road, otherwise you will have to worry about your life. ”
"We must strictly follow the 49-day stipulated time and arrange the time to go back and forth reasonably. When you open the door again, you must come out, or you will be severely punished by the clan rules. ”
The Great Elder explained the precautions, and Elder Gu Qingxia handed over the three jade slips to Gu Chen and the others.
Gu Chen's divine sense probed into the jade slip, and sure enough, there was a map recorded in it, and there was only one route on the map, as for the other areas, they were all vague, only marked with unknown areas.
The route itself is twisted and turned, and all the important markers on the road have been written down, which is very detailed, and I don't know how much effort it took the ancestors of the Gu clan to perfect this route.
Gu Chen noticed that the starting point of the secret realm to the end of the ancestral land was far from a straight line, but instead turned around and avoided a bunch of unknown areas.
This shows that even the extremely powerful ancestors of the Gu clan are full of fear of those unknown areas, and they only dare to take a detour.
The location of Bawu Yuanyu was in the deepest part of the ancestral land, and Gu Chen focused on noting down the geographical situation around there.
"Alright, you can go in, good luck to you. ”
After the Great Elder finished smiling, the three of them took a deep breath, stepped on the altar happily, and walked into the light gate one by one!
"I wonder how much cultivation these three children can have in the ancestral land this year?"
The three of them all disappeared into the door, and Elder Gu Qingxia smiled.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I hope they can be recognized by their ancestral land. The day of the Immortal Ascension Festival is not far away, and if they are shocked in the ancestral land, they may have the opportunity to participate in it. ”
Gu Yao's eyes showed a look of expectation.
......
When he broke through the light gate, he felt like he was traveling through time and space, and the peripheral airflow was extremely unstable, and the space was full of cracks, which shocked Gu Chen and the others.
Fortunately, they made it to the finish line without any danger, and as soon as they stepped on their feet, they landed in a dark forest.
It was night, and the sky was full of stars, and for some reason, the stars above seemed to be brighter than what I usually saw.
The three of them looked around, and their divine consciousness extended in all directions.
In the senses, this is an ancient and ruined land, and a desolate aura comes to the face.
"Squeak!"
The white ape slipped out of the beast bag by itself, climbed onto Gu Chen's shoulder, and looked around excitedly.
In the past two days, I heard that there was an elixir to eat, and it had been looking forward to entering the ancestral land of the Gu clan.
"The starting point is right, this is the Whispering Forest, starting from the southeast, about five days' journey, we can reach the ancestral land. ”
"And the location of the elixir we are looking for is on this road, and it will take about half a day's journey. ”
Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming took out the map to confirm the route and analyzed it carefully, but Gu Chen closed his eyes for some reason.
"The gravity here is a bit weird, it seems that the gravity has become weaker......"
Gu Chen muttered in his heart, he had been cultivating the Heavenly Shock Secret Technique recently, so he was extremely sensitive to gravity.
As soon as he came to this place, he felt that the gravity here was much weaker than that of the Immortal Spirit Continent.
This was too obvious for a person who cultivated the Heavenly Shock Secret Technique, and here the force field changes that he had already figured out were no longer applicable.
"It's okay if gravity weakens, but the power of the celestial phenomena above the head has actually increased ......"
Gu Chen raised his head, even if he closed his eyes, he could feel that the connection with the stars in the sky had inexplicably become stronger.
It was the first time he had seen such a strange situation, so he was puzzled.
"Cousin Gu Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Ziyan and the others were analyzing the next route forward, and when they saw Gu Chen's trance, they couldn't help but ask with concern.
Only then did Gu Chen come back to his senses and shook his head. "It's fine, it's just that there's something strange here. ”
"The secret realm here is said to have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and some abnormalities are normal, and it is important to discuss the matter. Gu Shenming said, what Gu Chen felt he didn't notice.
Gu Chen nodded, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and discussed the way forward with the three of them.
Because the location of the suspected elixir was between the starting point and the ancestral land, they decided to search for the elixir first, and then go to the ancestral land.
They could spend a full forty-nine days in the secret realm, and a maximum of ten days to travel to and from the starting point, so their time could be said to be more than enough.
The three of them set a course of progress, and soon followed the map and advanced in the Whispering Forest.
This forest area is extensive, even if the Gu ancestors have not completely figured out the situation here, and a large part of the area is marked with unknown forbidden entry.
The three of them followed the route on the map, not wanting to have more twists and turns.
