Chapter 163: Chapter 9 Gu Family Legacy, Star Tower Masks, Dutch Treat (Added Extra Chapter for a Mistake! First Update at 6 PM)_2

Gu Pan felt a chill in her heart upon seeing the situation.

"Heh, just as I thought! That old coot has been eyeing me with displeasure, if I reveal the existence of the Great Sword Tomb now, he won’t even care about saving face, and will brazenly claim the treasure as his by fate but secretly attempt to snatch it from me!"

"Ancestors, I apologize, I must conceal your glory for now. Once the younger generation, Gu Pan, has gained enough strength, I will personally glorify your name, quack!"

Having thought this, Gu Pan made up her mind.

"Elders, the inheritance is here."

As she spoke, she broke off a small piece from the Great Sword Tomb—several of the Small Sword Tombs had stuck together and followed her when she fled the ruins.

’Strange, why do I use the word "flee"...’

"Hmph, the Great Elder truly underestimates me, Gu Pan!"

Gu Pan didn’t think any further and casually broke off a segment of the Small Sword Tomb, placing it down.

This sword was crystal clear and as warm as Lantian jade, of an ’excellent’ grade, suitable to be fused into the Curse Seal to add strength.

Although its quality was also extraordinary, it was not enough to incite internal strife or scrambling among the family elders.

Seeing this, the Great Elder and others naturally couldn’t say much more and, with a forced smile, said, "Then, we hope Gu Pan, the Sword Master, will contribute greatly to the family," before standing quietly aside.

Gu Yue Ming, who was also present, let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was finally settled.

This girl, always causing worry, wouldn’t it be good enough for her to be a Sword Servant like me? But thankfully, the danger was averted, sister, your daughter has become a Sword Master like you, I haven’t let down your last wish... Gu Yue Ming patted her towering chest non-stop.

As the imprint of the Sword Tomb flowed in, an arcane and profound Sword Intent traveled through the ’Sword Master’s Life Book’, shooting towards the dense ancestral spirit tablets like a small mountain, and in a spot very close to the top, it flashed into one.

"Secure your inheritance... Eh, is it such an ancient legacy imprint?" Gu Shi Qian uttered in surprise.

Judging by the era, this was one of the oldest legacies, second only to the ancestors’!

Tsk tsk tsk, incredible!

It must be known, the Gu Family has a legacy of tens of thousands of years, ever since the Gu ancestors became famous, with peerless geniuses emerging generation after generation. Although from time to time, the lineage was interrupted, they ultimately managed to continue it, albeit with difficulty.

By now, although the Gu Family no longer boasted its former glory, they couldn’t even think about the Heavenly List, let alone the Earthly List Great Powers; they weren’t even able to make it onto the Human List this generation—before the age of thirty, one must enter the Third Rank with astonishing battle achievements to be eligible for the Human List. Gu Shi Qian had the strength, but he was over the age.

Even so, relying on the excellent legacy, they still maintained a seat within the Supervision Bureau.

Among them, of course, the ancestors’ residual contributions were the greatest!

Although even the ancestor herself, according to records, only reached the peak of the Fourth-rank ’Soldier Man’ realm in her era and did not enter the legendary Fifth Realm.

But Gu Shi Qian knew that it was Ancient Times, unlike now with a systematic Cursing Seal Cultivation Method, back then the path of cultivation had to be groped step by step based on the wisdom of the predecessors.

The ’Soldier Man’ realm of that era, while not claiming to be unmatched, across the entire Earth Star, was definitely one of the very few—it was a true Martial Arts myth, a pioneer of the path of cultivation!

This showed how terrifying the ancestor’s talents were. In today’s Heavenly List Great Powers, she would probably rank towards the top, right?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

To everyone’s amazement, the spirit tablet, which was originally dim and had illegible information, lit up instantly.

A blue imprint revealed a line of archaic small characters, conveying information:

Spirit tablet of the widow Zhuge, Gu Lanshan!

Everyone was taken aback.

This name, obviously out of place compared to the other ancestral spirit tablets marked ’Gu Family XXth generation Gu xx’s spirit tablet,’ seemed discordant.

Female ancestors were not rare, but it was the only one in the entire ancestral shrine that put the husband’s surname first.

However, as these were ancestors, the elders present, although their eyes revealed surprise, couldn’t comment further.

How could descendants discuss the faults of their ancestors?

However, Gu Shi Qian frowned and felt displeased.

"Dammit, so close to the ancestor and yet she’s an outsider?"

He suddenly waved his hand, and a fierce Sword Intent shot out, sweeping over the spirit tablet.

Swipe!

The words ’widow Zhuge’ were directly cut off by him, leaving only the lower part ’Gu Lanshan’s spirit tablet’ intact.

"Sss..."

All the onlookers gasped.

Directly severing the newly listed ancestor’s place in the ancestral shrine?

This... this was too disrespectful to the lineage...

Especially for the Great Elder and others, who saw this younger generation Family Head with profound dismay in their eyes.

Only Gu Pan’s eyes sparkled, finding the Family Head to her liking.

After committing such a rebellious act, Gu Shi Qian revealed a hearty smile, "Hahaha! That’s more like it! How could the Gu ancestral shrine allow the name of another to be listed, what nonsense... Dismissed, quack!"

...

D8B3 Safe Area.

Star Tower.

A streak of light too quick for the eye to follow descended swiftly into the top of the Star Tower.

Then, like an elevator indicator light, it lit up from the top, descending layer by layer to the bottom.

"Click~"

In front of an elevator decorated with mysterious runes but noticeably technologically advanced, the double doors swung open.

At four in the afternoon, Xu Shu returned.

Above the elevator, a screen lit up:

[Respected Ascender, you have successfully returned to the Star Tower safe area.]

[Reminder: All forms of combat are prohibited within the Star Tower, offenders will be killed without question.]
