"Okay, Uncle Mu, elders, then Brother Ze and I will go first. Gu Congmu knew that Gu Mu and they had something to do, so he nodded immediately.

"Ze'er, go back and have a good rest, don't take today's matter too seriously, we will definitely think of a way, believe us." Gu Mu then whispered to Gu Ze, who was a little sluggish.

"Yes, Father, I see. Gu Ze smiled bitterly, he now felt that he was not a special waste.

"Daddy, I'll go first. The little fat man blinked, raised his chin at the four elders on the side, and said proudly.

"Got it, got it, you can go quickly. The four elders saw it, recalled something, frowned, and then waved his hand helplessly, then walked up to the little fat man, and whispered into his ear: "You have nothing to comfort and comfort your brother Ze, let him want to open up, you know?"

"Dad, I know. The little fat man was stunned, and then nodded heavily.

"Well, let's go. ”

The words of the four elders fell, and Gu Ze and Gu Congmu slowly walked outside the old building.

Gu Mu looked at Gu Ze's back slowly leaving, his eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, he could see how sad his son was, how could he not be touched?

"We can't wait any longer, and when the juniors in the clan are all tested, we'll leave to meet the old guy at once. At this time, Gumu's eyes were filled with deep determination.

Just as Gu Ze and Gu Congmu walked out of the old building, five or six people appeared in front of them, and they looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as them.

"Eh, isn't this our Great Young Master Gu Ze? Okay, I'm not there, your strength is really getting stronger and stronger. The yellow-robed young man led by him laughed.

"Gu Yuyan, don't come out and say if you can't speak, shut your dog's mouth, no one will treat you as a mute. Gu Congmu knew what the yellow-robed young man meant, and he immediately frowned, and his expression became fierce.

"Heh, that's right, how dare I laugh at the great genius of our Gu family? You say yes, Young Master Gu Ze?" Gu Yuyan said with a cold smile, and the sarcasm in his words was particularly obvious.

As soon as his words fell, several teenagers behind him also laughed together, their eyes full of mockery of Gu Ze.

"You guys, good dogs, get out of the way. Gu Congmu couldn't help it, his tone also improved a few points, and he was very angry.

"Okay, well, for the sake of the patriarch, make a way for you, let's go, don't waste our precious time. Gu Yuyan cautiously glanced at the old building, the corners of his mouth raised a curvature, he waved his hand to make way as he spoke, and made a gesture of please with his hand, giving people a look full of mockery.

"You!" Gu Congmu's eyes widened, and he was about to raise his fist, but he was stopped by Gu Ze.

"Gu Ze, there is less than a year before the Rite Ceremony, you also know what the Rite Ceremony means, I think you still obediently stay in this Dekka Empire as a young master for a lifetime, the future world is destined to be left to capable people like us, and you only deserve to live in this cage forever, and you can only be a bird that can fly out of the cage forever, hahaha. Just as Gu Ze and the two were about to leave, Gu Yuyan's laughter suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Thank you very much. Gu Ze glanced at Gu Yuyan with an extremely flat look, as if the latter's words did not set off any waves in his heart. As the words fell, the former stepped forward.

Gu Ze naturally knew the significance of the Monk Ceremony, only those juniors who cultivated to reach the Xuankui Master on the same day were eligible to participate in the ceremony, and those who could pass the ceremony were eligible to leave the family and go outside to practice. And those juniors who have not reached the Xuankui Master or have not passed will stay within the protection of the Gu family for the rest of their lives.

It is better to say that it is a protection, but it is more a bondage. Of course, this is only for people who have big ambitions in their hearts and desire to be strong.

Isn't it a constraint in the eyes of those who have talent and ability? The world is too big, there are so many wonderful things, who wouldn't want to go to this world to see it?

How did a strong man come about? If he has not experienced wind and rain and has not experienced big waves, how can he become a strong man?

Moreover, only those who have passed the renunciation ceremony can improve their family status, otherwise they will be just a small clansman for the rest of their lives. This is obviously a test that the Gu family members want to pass, because this is not only a test, but also a recognition of strength and status.

"Our Gu family is the head of the four major families of the empire, I hope you don't let the family be ashamed, don't let your father feel ashamed!" Gu Yuyan sneered loudly as he looked at Gu Ze's departing back.

A hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. Genius is just a waste!

Gu Ze didn't pay any attention to Gu Yuyan anymore, he and the little fat man slowly walked towards the outside of the old building.

"Brother Ze, let's go eat, we just haven't had breakfast yet. Gu Congmu said with a smile, he wanted to relieve the melancholy in Gu Ze's heart.

As they walked down the street, the warm morning light had fallen from the sky, and there were still a lot of people on the streets in the morning.

"No, Satoshiki, I won't eat it, you go eat it. Gu Ze's eyes were full of sorrow, and his expression was slightly depressed, he obviously hadn't recovered from the test just now.

"Okay then, Brother Ze, then I'll go first, and you can go back and rest early. Gu Congmu naturally saw that Gu Ze wanted to be alone and quiet, and he didn't bother Gu Ze, so he left with a smile.

Watching the little fat man leave, Gu Ze nodded, and walked slowly out of the city alone.

The bright sunlight sprinkled brilliant light from the sky, as if bathing, shining on people's bodies is very warm and comfortable, making people involuntarily lazy.

There is a river outside the city of Vasa, this river is called Xijiang River, the river water is clear and transparent, the bluestone of the place where the shore is docked, the fish play with the stones, and there is no obstacle to look directly. Gu Ze likes to listen to the sound of flowing water and enjoy the feeling of the breeze blowing on his face, and he often comes to this Xijiang River to practice.

Today's sun shines on the surface of the Xijiang River, and the river surface is flooded with brilliant and dazzling golden light, which is very eye-catching. Gu Ze glanced at the river lightly, and the quiet atmosphere made his heart involuntarily relax. Then he sat cross-legged on a large bluestone on the edge of the Xijiang River, his hands were sealed, his eyes were closed, and he slowly entered the state of cultivation.

Today's quili test hit him hard. He wondered, why did my father and elders say that I was a genius, but why was my strength only so much, was I really a genius? Gu Ze's heart was full of questions, and he felt a sense of hopelessness. There is still about a year to go, from the first layer of Kuiyuan Qi to the Xuankui Master, and the ninth layer, what should I do......

How is it possible to improve the ninth-level Kuiyuan Qi in a year?

"The Great Ceremony of Initiation...... Gu Ze slowly clenched his fists, and the pain in his eyes was gradually hidden, or revealed without reservation.

The world is so big, he doesn't want to be bound to this Dekka empire forever, let alone the ancient family, he really wants to go outside and see the wonder of this world!

Gu Ze opened his eyes and looked up at the dazzling golden sun, and his heart was filled with bitterness. The son of the patriarch is such a waste, what a shame for his father. Since he came to this world, he started cultivating Kui Li at the age of five, but now he is almost sixteen years old, but he is still only at the first level of Kui Yuan Qi, is it so difficult to cultivate in this world?

But why are there still strong people?

What went wrong? This question has been bothering Gu Ze's heart for a long time, but no matter how he thinks about it and how he asks, the result he gets is still the same. Why his strength improved so slowly, even the well-informed Great Elder didn't know. The ascension of Gu Ze's cultivation seems to have become a mystery.

Although his ascension is very slow, but now he not only does not make any progress, but has also regressed a layer of cultivation, how can this keep him from being hit.

He practiced desperately year after year, day after day, but his cultivation was always stagnant, and he always felt that there was a bottleneck in his body that was difficult to break through, hindering his cultivation improvement.

And he also asked the Great Elder many times, and the Great Elder was also very dazed, but he always emphasized one sentence to Gu Ze: "Gu Ze, you are not a waste, but a genius!"

But he had always doubted this, but why did the Great Elder keep emphasizing it?

"I remember Cong Mu said that there would be a bottleneck when he was in the seventh layer of Kui Yuan Qi, although it was a bottleneck, but Cong Mu said that it was not particularly difficult to break through. However, how could such a strange situation occur when my cultivation was only at the second layer of Kuiyuan Qi?" The corners of Gu Ze's mouth flashed with bitterness.

In this way, Gu Ze had been cultivating for several hours, and the sunlight in the sky was much stronger. Gu Ze's state of mind was difficult to steady, and he forcibly endured the sweat droplets that slowly flowed down from his forehead, and the feeling of crawling like ants hit the skin on his face, which was quite itchy. He tried to adjust his breathing, to strengthen his body, as if he were meditating on an old monk, and no matter what happened, he was not affected in any way.

"Brother Ze, are you here?" At this moment, the little fat man's shouting suddenly came.

"Here. Hearing this, Gu Ze put away his cultivation handprint, withdrew from cultivation, and then slowly got up and shouted in the direction where the voice came from.

"Brother Ze, I knew you must be here. Gu Congmu hurriedly ran over, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and bent over and smiled.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" The corners of Gu Ze's eyes moved, and he smiled.

"It's not that I'm looking for you to have something, it's Uncle Mu who is looking for you. "Gu Congmu Road.

"My dad, what's the matter with my dad?" Gu Ze asked.

"I don't know, it seems like it's important, you just have to hurry up anyway. ”

"Got it. ”
