Start With Chaos Sword Body And Build The Immortal Clan

"This... refusal, she refused?"

"Did I mishear?"

"The clan leader treated her like this, and she still doesn't want it? Could it be... the old ancestor?"

The group of talented individuals were dumbfounded.

Even Gu Wanli was stunned.

But soon, understanding appeared in his eyes.

Because Gu Qingcheng spoke up: "To be honest, Qingcheng has made up her mind and is determined to join the ranks of Changqing Palace! Please forgive the impoliteness of the younger generation, Clan Leader!"

As she spoke, Gu Qingcheng slightly bowed towards Gu Wanli, displaying a very respectful attitude, leaving Gu Wanli speechless and only able to smile self-deprecatingly.

Yes, this Gu Qingcheng in front of him was most likely someone who had returned with Changqing Palace. She must have witnessed the strength of Changqing Palace.

In this case, it was normal for her to say such things now.

After all, compared to Changqing Palace, his own achievements were nothing.

Especially when he thought about the generous reward of one hundred Qixuan Divine Flame Pills that the Palace Lord bestowed upon him in the ancestral space just now.

Not to mention Gu Qingcheng, even if he, Gu Wanli, was in the same position, he would also want to join Changqing Palace!

However, after becoming the clan leader, he hadn't heard a refusal for a long time. At this moment, he felt a bit strange in his heart!

Gu Wanli, Gu Hong, Gu Jie, Gu Ying, and other elders who had witnessed Gu Changqing's strength, as well as Gu Nishang and Gu Changying, were not surprised by Gu Qingcheng's choice.

But the other talented individuals of the Gu Family, and even the members of the Gu Family who came to witness the ceremony, were dumbfounded.

"Who is this Changqing Palace Lord? Letting Gu Qingcheng refuse even the clan leader's offer to take her as a disciple?"

"We still have this elder in the clan? Why is this name so unfamiliar to me?"

Just as they were puzzled.

"Swish!"

In the ancestral space, in mid-air.

The figures of Gu Changqing and the old ancestor Cangming appeared.

In the instant they appeared, Gu Wanli and even the other Gu Family elders all hurriedly bowed and paid their respects.

"We pay our respects to the old ancestor! We pay our respects to Changqing Palace Lord!"

Looking at the respectful posture of the clan leader and the other elders.

The Gu Family talents below, as well as those who came to witness the ceremony, were all stunned.

Since breaking through to the Sovereign realm, it was rare for the old ancestor Cangming to appear in public.

Not to mention those geniuses from the branches, even many of the descendants of the main branch of the Cangming Gu Family were seeing him for the first time.

Looking at the old ancestor Cangming standing tall in the sea of clouds, their eyes were filled with undisguised reverence!

After all, for the majority of them, this was the first time they had seen a Sovereign realm powerhouse.

But just as they were filled with reverence, they suddenly discovered.

"That Changqing Palace Lord is actually sitting on an equal footing with the old ancestor?"

Seeing Gu Changqing and the old ancestor Cangming sitting side by side on the main seat of the high platform.

The Gu Family members couldn't believe their eyes, suspecting that their eyes were playing tricks on them.

What kind of person is qualified to sit side by side with their own Sovereign realm ancestor?

Does that Changqing Palace Lord have such strength and qualifications?

Even the talents of the main branch were dumbfounded.

After all, except for a few like Gu Nishang, the other talents of the main branch were seeing Gu Changqing for the first time at this moment.

Seeing their puzzled and confused expressions, Gu Wanli smiled slightly and introduced, "Everyone, this is Changqing Palace Lord. Changqing Palace Lord is the current Supreme Elder of our Gu Sacred Clan! Positioned above the ancestor of our Cangming Gu Family..."

Gu Wanli paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, Changqing Palace Lord is also positioned above all the branches, main branches, and family heads and ancestors of our Gu Sacred Clan!"

"Your Highness's strength is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even Sovereign-level experts like our Gu Clan's ancestor, Cangming Gu, would not be able to compare..."

Gu Wanli passionately introduced Gu Changqing's situation.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized.

The way he introduced Gu Changqing, although accurate, inevitably made it seem like he was using their ancestor as a stepping stone. He immediately coughed repeatedly, trying to change the subject.

Seeing his appearance, even Cangming Gu couldn't help but give this disappointing young man a sideways glance and said impatiently, "What's there to be coy about? His Highness Changqing's strength surpasses mine! And it far exceeds mine."

"What...!?"

"Did my ears deceive me? What did the ancestor say?"

"This Changqing, his strength surpasses the ancestor? Does that mean he is also a Sovereign-level expert?"

The members of the Gu Family were dumbfounded.

Whether they were geniuses from the branch line or the outstanding members of the main line, at this moment, their hearts were filled with shock.

In their eyes, the ancestor at the Sovereign level was already the undisputed number one in the Gu Family and even the entire Gu Clan.

But now, another Changqing had emerged.

And the ancestor himself admitted that this Changqing far surpassed him?

But the problem was...

"If this Changqing's strength far surpasses the ancestor, then why did our bloodline only start to recover after the ancestor reached the Sovereign level?"

One of the outstanding members of the main line couldn't help but voice his doubts.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present realized the truth. They couldn't help but look at Cangming Gu and Gu Changqing, hoping they could provide an explanation.

They couldn't possibly say that this Changqing, although he broke through to the Sovereign level later, surpassed the ancestor.

In just a few months, he had surpassed Cangming Gu?

His talent was too unbelievable.

Just as everyone was speculating in their hearts...

Gu Wanli couldn't help but stroke his beard and slowly speak up.

The words he uttered made the entire ancestral land quiet once again: "Why did the bloodline awaken only after the ancestor reached the Sovereign level?"

"Because His Highness Changqing is not a Sovereign-level expert."

With this sentence, everyone understood.

He wasn't a Sovereign-level expert, but he possessed strength far beyond that level...

A long silence followed.

As they listened to Gu Wanli's words, everyone felt their minds buzzing.

The descendants of the Gu Family, including Gu Nishang and others, were stunned.

They only knew that His Highness Changqing had extraordinary strength.

But they never imagined that the Changqing they had been eager to join was actually... not yet at the Sovereign level!

This was even more incredible...

Only Gu Qingcheng and a few other women felt an infinite sense of pride and admiration, knowing full well about His Highness Changqing's strength and talent.

Looking into Gu Changqing's eyes, they couldn't hide their longing and even a hint of admiration!

Amongst the shocked crowd...

There were two figures.

At this moment, as they looked at the countless awe-filled gazes, as they looked at Gu Changqing on the high platform, who was unparalleled in beauty...

Both of them couldn't help but tremble!

One had an expression of shock that couldn't be concealed in their eyes!

And the other... was filled with endless regret!
