Time is quiet, day by day, since Gu Chen went home, whether it is the Gu family, or the Liu family, or the Wanjia, they are very calm, and it feels like a prelude to a storm.

Gu Chen takes Xiaobai to Lingfu Mountain to cultivate every day, and there is no change in his daily life, the only thing that has changed is that Gu Chen's cultivation is still growing rapidly.

The temporary situation has not changed much from the previous life, I believe that before the Patriarch Competition Conference at the end of the year, there are no major changes, the key is after the Patriarch Competition Conference.

Even if Gu Chen had the experience of his previous life, he couldn't guess how his father would react when he became the head of the ancient family, and the first line of the Great Elder and the Second Elder?

Obedience? Gu Cangyue's surname is arrogant, and he has always regarded Gu Cangyue as a waste, if Gu Cangqiong becomes the patriarch, Gu Cangyue cannot really be obedient.

Gu Cangyue is not reckless, he knows how much harm the family is to the family, he is a member of the Gu family, and he is also responsible for the Gu family.

The Yun family is okay to say, the key is that the Liu family is powerful, if the strength of the Gu family is damaged and becomes the same as the Yun family, then it will be difficult for the two families to join forces to stop the development of the Liu family's power.

Gu Chen couldn't accurately judge what Gu Cangyue's reaction was, but what Gu Chen could be sure of was that if Gu Cangyue didn't care about the future of the family and did something that harmed the family, then Gu Chen would also be ruthless and eliminate all unstable factors.

Gu Chen's cultivation is rapidly improving every day, four months later, Gu Chen finally felt the barrier of the fifth layer of the innate realm, this time he did not experience a fierce battle, it took Gu Chen half a month to finally break through the five layers of barrier and step into the cultivation of the sixth layer of the innate realm.

The sixth layer of the Innate Realm is already the peak of the middle stage of the Innate Realm, and if you take a step forward, it is the realm of the late stage of the Innate Realm, and the difficulty of cultivation has increased a lot compared to the previous one.

From the fifth to the sixth layer of the Innate Realm, it took four and a half months, and from the sixth layer to the seventh layer, the time required will be even longer, even if there are spirit pills and spirit stones that are constantly consumed, it will take at least five or six months.

At present, it is not more than a month and a half before the end of the year, and it is impossible to make any breakthroughs in cultivation, Gu Chen put the focus of his cultivation on the Tiangang Quenching Body**, the sixth layer of the Innate Realm, and the fourth layer of the Tiangang Quenching Body.

After refining into the fourth level of Tiangang's quenching body, Gu Chen's physical body was strengthened, almost comparable to the ninth-layer cultivator of the Congenital Realm, coupled with the speed of the swift feather cloak, the speed directly caught up with the cultivator of the Shenhai Realm, which was much faster than the ninth-layer cultivator of the Innate Realm.

With Gu Chen's current strength, the monks of the seventh layer of the innate realm are not his opponents, and in the state of strengthening their physical bodies and speeding up, the monks of the eighth layer of the innate realm must also temporarily avoid the edge.

With such strength, no one in the entire Leshui City could threaten him anymore, if it weren't for the innate realm ninth-layer cultivator to make a move, otherwise he wouldn't want to take advantage of Gu Chen's hands.

There are still more than a month left before the New Year's Pass, and with the familiar experience of Tiangang's quenching body, he should be able to refine it into the fourth level at the end of the year, and Gu Cangyue, Gu Chen has no worries at all.

If he can feel at ease, his cultivation is not easy to come by, it is better for him to contribute to the Gu family, if he has any crooked ideas, Gu Chen doesn't mind wiping him out......

With the growth of strength, Gu Chen is no longer the stupid boy he was last year, and the feeling of a great monk in his previous life has gradually returned to Gu Chen.

In his previous life, Gu Chen was burdened with deep hatred and blood hatred, but he didn't have a good temper, and the person who provoked him with a word was in danger, and it was too easy for Gu Chen to wipe out a monk, with the identity of the Sect Master of Pills, he didn't even have to take action himself, he just had to release a sentence, if he wanted to see whoever died, he would be able to see whose head the next day.

Of course, this is just some small people, the real big opponent, Gu Chen in the previous life still can't deal with it, such as the Tibetan Heavenly Machine, even if Gu Chen wants to hide the Heavenly Machine to die, no one dares to provoke the Tibetan Heavenly Machine, and when he encounters the monk of the Tibetan Heavenly Machine, let alone provoke the Tibetan Heavenly Machine, keep his mouth shut, and be able to get along peacefully, it will already be a good thing.

Approaching the end of the year, the ancient firmament also came out with good news, after more than half a year of cultivation, under the catalysis of the residual medicinal power of the dust washing pill, and continuously taking the top-grade Yuan Ling Pill, the cultivation of the ancient firmament, finally stepped into the seventh layer of the innate realm a year ago, and became a strong man in the late stage of the innate realm.

Gu Chen also did as he wished, and a few years ago, he successfully refined Tiangang to the fourth level.

The cultivation of Tiangang Quenching Body**, Gu Cangqiong is a little slower than Gu Chen, although it has already cultivated the seventh layer of the Innate Realm, but Tiangang Quenching Body has just been refined to the third level.

However, it is very possible that a monk of the seventh layer of the Innate Realm, after the strengthening of the Triple Tiangang Quenching Body, defeats a monk of the eighth layer of the Innate Realm, and it is very likely that for this patriarch competition conference, the ancient firmament can be said to have no pressure.

As soon as the New Year arrived, the whole Leshui City became lively again, and the Gu family was no exception, now Gu Chen had already turned 12 years old, but his body was much stronger and taller than a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and he looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth.

Without exception, in this year's clan competition, Gu Chen easily won the first place in the clan, and the fourth-layer cultivation of the innate realm that was revealed made Gu Tai, who was still the second-layer of the congenital realm, disheartened.

However, the most lively event this year is not the annual clan competition, but the patriarch competition conference.

Gu Xian is already old, he has turned 70 years old this year, and according to the will of his ancestors, he must give up the position of patriarch.

Originally, the position of the patriarch was passed down from father to son, and after the patriarch reached the age of 70, he could pass the position of the patriarch to his son, but Gu Cangqiong was not an ancient idle parent, and because of this, it was opposed by the eldest elder and the second elder, so the position of the patriarch became an open competition.

All the second-generation direct descendants can participate after being elected by the elders, and after the clan competition, there will be a big competition, and the winner will be the patriarch of the ancient family in the future.

Gu Cangyue is the first person of the second generation, cultivating to reach the seventh layer of the innate realm, and in order to compete with the position of the patriarch, he almost sat in the position of the city lord.

Today, Gu Cangyue's mood was very happy, all of them were smiling, the second generation of the Great Elder and the Second Elder of the first line, naturally no one would compete with him, the second generation of the children of Gu Xian and the Third Elder, the strongest was only the fifth layer of the Innate Realm, compared to the seventh layer of his Innate Realm, it was a world of difference.

Gu Cangyue is the biggest contender for Gu Cangyue to seize the position of patriarch, but now his cultivation is still only the fifth layer of the innate realm, in this regard, Gu Cangyue has no pressure, he knows that the more he cultivates, the more difficult it will be, although Gu Cangyue has first-class qualifications, but he missed the best cultivation time, it is difficult to catch up with him in this life.

After the age of 50, the body begins to age, and if you persist in cultivating every day, you can only keep your cultivation from retreating, and if you stop cultivating, your cultivation will regress.

After the clan competition, all the people did not leave, after Gu Qianshan announced the results of the clan competition, Gu Xian came to the ring, and said: "Fellow clansmen, I have been the head of the ancient family for more than 20 years, and this year I am over 70 years old, according to the ancestral decree, I will step down from the position of the patriarch, and let Yingjie, the second generation of children in the clan, take over the position of the patriarch, and lead the ancient clan to a better future......

After a pause, Gu Xian continued: "The Gu family, one of the three major Xiuzhen families in Leshui City, this is the foundation laid for us from generation to generation, every patriarch regards the interests of the family as a benefit, Gu Xian is fortunate not to disgrace his life, he has been in charge ......of the Gu family for more than 20 years, the strength of the Gu family has been enhanced, and he has the face to face the ancestors of the Gu family, no matter who becomes the next patriarch, he must be like the ancestors, the Gu family will develop better, and look for a better future for the Gu family."

"As monks, we are above mortals, we have more power than mortals, we have more resources than mortals, we have a better life than mortals...... However, than mortals, monks also have to take greater risks, the cultivation realm is a world of the jungle, a cruel world, without strength, you can't survive, therefore, as a patriarch, you must not only have a good character, but also have a cultivation that surpasses everyone. ”

"It was decided by the elders that in this patriarch competition meeting, the elders will nominate the second-generation children with good character, and then, the second-generation children who are elected will compete, who is the first, and who is the next patriarch......"
