With a long exhale, Gu Lin fell silent.

He suddenly thought of the black unicorn, for a promise, he still guarded the Beichuan ancient clan for thousands of years when his wife was separated, with the help of Uncle Hei, he had obtained the inheritance of the ancestor Gu Fan, and the Qiankun Xuanji Pavilion he also opened was also a treasure from the ancient clan.

Now that the black qilin has entered the ice water realm, his father, who is the head of the family, has also been in the summer capital for a long time, which is almost equivalent to nothing for the Beichuan ancient clan, because Gu Wumu can't do anything at all except for being able to provide Beichuan with materials and cultivation resources.

Over the years, it is really impossible to say that Gu Wen Xiu has no grievances, although the four grandfathers have reached the true martial realm in cultivation, but they are scattered, and they cannot be condensed at all to form a powerful force.

The eldest grandfather Gu Tianci should have stayed in the Beichuan Ancient Clan, because he was originally the Great Elder of the Ancient Clan, but because Gu Feng wanted to help Beichuan, Gu Tianci could only accompany him to secretly protect, although he was under the jurisdiction of the Holy Martial Hundred League, but at the moment of crisis, he rescued his nephew and disciple, and the Hundred Alliances could not interfere.

And although his own grandfather, the Third Elder Gu Tianya, had the highest cultivation among the ancient clans and the highest qualifications, he abdicated as early as twenty years ago and left the Gu clan, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

And the fourth grandfather, Gu Tianbei, guards the ancient family of the summer capital, the situation in the summer capital is unclear and full of dangers, and it is also impossible to move.

Indeed, as Gu Tianen said, where should the Gu family go?

"Alas....... Even if Gu Lin didn't want to carry the burden of the Beichuan Ancient Clan, he sighed lightly, "Since the second grandfather asked me to be the patriarch of the Gu clan, I can't shirk it, but the other grandfathers and my father will agree to this matter?"

"This is the legacy left by the ancestors, and everyone in the ancient clan must respect it. Gu Tianen raised his head, "Besides, there is a warning from the Holy Beast Qilin, this is not a problem. ”

"That's good. Gu Lin thought for a while and said: "I am willing to become the patriarch of the Gu clan, but this is kept secret in advance, I can't reveal my identity for the time being, and I must go to Beikou as my personal disciple Zhu Qingzhu, and only after obtaining the consent of my grandfather and my father can I officially take over." ”

Gu Tianen nodded and asked, "I don't know how the patriarch plans to place my Beichuan Gu clan disciples?"

"Don't worry, I still need to think about this matter. Gu Lin frowned, to be honest, whether he was the commander of an army or the patriarch of a clan, he was actually not good at it, but thinking that he had already obtained the inheritance of his ancestor Gu Fan, he really had no way to refuse, and he actually had no idea how to settle the clansmen of the Beichuan Gu clan.

Gu Tianen glanced at Gu Lin with relief, "You're leaving here today and heading to the North Exit?"

"Although the siege of Xia Yi has been resolved, but the Northern Han army is still surrounding Beining City, the war is still not optimistic, Beining City is the largest city in the North, if Beining City is lost, Xia Yi City still can't be saved, and I have encountered sniping attacks from the Blood Shadow Sect and the disciples of the Ice Pole Sect in the Northern Han Army, I am worried that there are still many unknown secrets after this war. ”

Burdened by the burden of the ancient clan, Gu Lin had to give up some of his concerns, "Our Beichuan ancient clan is in the core of the northern land, if the big sects of the Northern Han State are also involved in this national war, then the battle of the sects may also be inevitable." ”

"This time I came to the Gu Clan, I was actually worried that they would be unfavorable to the disciples of the Gu Clan, if there were really some great powers above the Venerable Clan, regardless of the Hundred Alliances, then except for the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather, no one could stop them at all. ”

"yes. Gu Tianen said solemnly: "The Blood Pavilion elders of the True Martial Realm have already made a few moves in the Xia Capital, and they have long since taken the Hundred Alliances Covenant seriously, so the eldest brother will go to Beining, also to prevent them from jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

Gu Lin asked: "Second Grandfather, before entering the Gu Clan, I saw a large defensive array, but I don't know what kind of attack the defensive array on the periphery of our Beichuan Ancient Clan can withstand?"

"The periphery of the defense array was laid by the ancestors thousands of years ago, and the Beichuan land, glaciers, and lakes are connected, and the cycle is repeated, it can withstand the attack of the strong people of the True Martial Realm, but it has suffered a damage, although we gradually repaired it later, but the energy consumption is huge, after thousands of years, the defense has become weaker and weaker, and now I am afraid that it can only resist the martial arts below the Yuan Palace Realm. ”

"The energy consumption of the large array is too much?" Gu Lin's mind moved, and suddenly he thought of the Dharma Propagation Great Array of the Hongfa Temple, "Can this large array have a core magic array, or an array eye?"

"Yes. Gu Tianen said: "It's outside underwater." ”

"Well, can you take me to see it?"

If the large array is just too much energy, it will be easy to do, Gu Lin's newly acquired treasure storage ring is like a treasure now, and there are countless spirit stone materials hidden in it.

"Of course, please come with me. ”

Gu Lin followed Gu Tianen to the circular corridor outside the cultivation secret room, and walked down the spiral staircase, feeling the water elemental aura getting thicker and thicker the further he went.

Half an hour later, Gu Lin followed Gu Tianen to a stone gate engraved with inscriptions, and injected true yuan into the stone gate, the stone gate slowly opened, and a huge blue inscription array came into his eyes.

"This is the central magic circle of the Beichuan Ancient Clan's defense array. Gu Tianen explained as he walked into the formation, "Don't worry, in the core area of the central formation of the big array here, the water element is more than ten times that of the outside, and the disciples of the ancient clan are all cultivating the true element of the water system, and those who have great merit will sometimes be rewarded for entering this place to cultivate, and the cultivation effect is more than ten times that of the outside." ”

Now Gu Lin has achieved a pure body of ice water, and as soon as he enters it, his body feels extremely comfortable.

The strange scene reappeared, the already thick water element was instantly attracted by Gu Lin's body, forming a wall of water, enveloping Gu Lin's body, and under the launch of the blue inscription light, a layer of water curtain light appeared around Gu Lin's body!

Gu Tianen was stunned, and Gu Wenxiu was also stunned, they had lived in the Beichuan Ancient Clan all their lives, but they had never seen such a strange scene?!

If this is the core of the entire water system of the Beichuan Ancient Clan, as soon as Gu Lin enters here, his body becomes the center of this place, and his body seems to have a strange suction, like a whirlpool, the water elemental aura gathered from the core of the large array is sucked around his body.

Seeing Gu Tianen and Gu Wenxiu's shocked eyes, Gu Lin also smiled rather strangely, "There were some adventures before, my body was affinity with the water element, and later Uncle Hei used the talent of the Qilin clan to help me refine my body, which made my physique a little different." ”

"The patriarch is really a genius, not only can his body be integrated into the ancient clan's water element array, but as far as I can see, it seems that the body is stronger than the large array's suction! This is a certain water element physique, this is really incredible!" Gu Tianen became more and more satisfied with the current Gu Lin, and he was even more satisfied with the decision he had just made.

Gu Lin looked around carefully, and found that the large array in front of him was completely different from the Hongfa Temple's Great Array, remembering that the large array of Hongfa Temple was divided into two formations, ice and fire, fire was the lava leyline, and ice was the original icy cold breath of the ice beast egg, and the large array was constantly absorbing the fire energy of the leyline lava, and the original icy cold breath was just to restrain the fire energy of the large array that was too powerful.

And the current water system array is all composed of water system array eyes, there are eight array eyes in each direction of the large array, and there is also a formation in the center of the large array.

That's because the natural nature of the water element is gentle and moisturizing, and it will not be harmful to accumulate to the extreme, unlike the accumulation of fire energy to a certain extent, it will be uncontrolled and produce an explosion, which is itself a difference in the elemental attributes.

Gu Tianen's voice sounded again, "Although the Great Array is built in the land of extreme glaciers and absorbs the energy of the Beichuan Extreme Cold Water System every day, however, what our Beichuan Ancient Clan needs to cultivate is the water element, and the patriarch also knows that although the ice and water are of the same origin, the difference between cultivating the Ice True Yuan and the Water True Yuan is still very different. ”

Gu Lin nodded, did not speak, but walked towards the eight arrays around him, and listened to Gu Tianen continue: "The ancient clan water system large array built on Beichuan has fully absorbed the ice water energy, so it needs the large array to convert, absorb the ice system energy into the large array, and release it from the core large array here to the water system energy, this process will consume a lot of energy, and the effect of the nine-star meltwater large array in front of you is this, when the ice system energy is melted, energy will be consumed. ”

Seeing clearly the eighth-level ice system spirit stones in the eyes of the octagonal array in this large array, Gu Lin smiled slightly, the light of these spirit stones was dim, and obviously there was not much energy left, Gu Lin asked: "If I guessed correctly, the defensive array on the periphery of Beichuan is supported by the energy output of the core array here, right?"

"Exactly. Gu Tianen nodded and said: "But this nine-star melt water array has been absorbing ice energy for thousands of years and turning it into a water element that the clan can cultivate, with too much backlog of ice energy, and now the ability to melt water has been greatly weakened, plus the central magic circle needs eight eighth-level ice spirit stones, and one ninth-level ice spirit stone is used as the eye of the array, so to maintain the operation of the large array, for the Beichuan ancient clan, the consumption is too huge." ”

After listening and leaving, Gu Lin looked at the array eye spirit stones in eight directions, walked towards the middle of the formation, and when he saw that the spirit stone in the array was only an eighth-level spirit stone, he was slightly stunned, "Why is this array not a ninth-level spirit stone?" I think it is still an eighth-level ice spirit stone, but the energy is still relatively saturated. ”

At this time, Gu Wen Xiu said: "The eighth-level ice spirit stone is already a treasure in the entire Nine Xia Kingdom, and it is extremely difficult to get one, so the ninth-level ice spirit stone can be said to be a rare treasure, even our Beichuan ancient clan does not have it." ”

"I see. ”

"This is, Nine Heavens Xuanbing!?" Suddenly, Gu Lin looked at the water system large array under the ground and was suddenly stunned, "Second grandfather, why is there all the Nine Heavens Xuanbing under the big array?"
