The mighty sound slowly spread, and then three well-dressed old men appeared. They slowly stood up from their seats in the distance, and walked into the center of the square under the gaze of everyone. There were already many props placed there. It was obvious that Coming-of-Age Ceremony of the Gu Clan was more complicated and cumbersome than Soul Clan.

However, Gu Clan every young person needs to go through this level. Only after going through Coming-of-Age Ceremony can they be considered to have completely grown up. And after going through the ceremony, these younger generations will truly become the core of the clan and are allowed to get married.

This is also the reason why Yao Yan and Gu Xun'er chose today for their engagement ceremony.

"Are they all here?" Yao Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the empty void. He could vaguely feel some strange spatial fluctuations, which made him have to suspect that Hun Tiandi and Clan Leader of all races had arrived, but they had not shown up directly.

"The ceremony begins, Ling Quan!" Gu Clan Elder, who presided over the ceremony, looked serious and called out a person's name in a deep voice.

The moment the voice fell, a young man walked out from the group of the Gu Clan young people. He walked towards the three elders with a proud face and high spirits, bowed to the three elders, and began to test the bloodline level.

The young people who can participate in Coming-of-Age Ceremony are naturally not weak in talent. After all, those with weak talent have already been screened out in their respective clan schools.

Just like when Yao Yan was in Pill Cauldron City... For the Emperor Clan, Dou Di Bloodline concentration means everything.

The higher the Bloodline Concentration is, the higher the talent is, and the more resources one will receive from the clan, and even the future marriage partner will not be an ordinary person.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ling Quan placed his palm on a piece of Star Chart. As he slowly closed his eyes and sensed it, the calm Star Chart suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. Then, six stars emerged from it, shining with dazzling light.

Seeing the six stars twinkling, the leader Gu Clan Elder was quite satisfied, and then shouted loudly, "Ling Quan, Black Annihilation Army seven Commander, One-Star Dou Zun strength, Rank 6 Bloodline level, after Elder Council decided to discuss, give Golden Clan Mark!"

As the words fell, the Gu Clan people around the square all had expressions of envy on their faces.

Ling Quan showed a hint of excitement. He quickly knelt down on one knee, held his head high, and looked at the golden Fine Brush held in Gu Clan Elder's hand with burning eyes. As the opponent waved his arm, mysterious lines suddenly appeared in the void, and then were imprinted on Ling Quan's forehead.

The peculiar lines and golden light burst out, filled with a special kind of energy fluctuation.

"I heard that the highest level of the Gu Clan's bloodline is Seven-Colored Gold...Xun'er should have reached it now, right?" Yao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er beside him curiously. The other party's beautiful and elegant face did not change at all because of the events on the court.

"I took a test once when I was a child, but I haven't taken another test since." Gu Xun'er explained softly, then turned to look at Yao Yan, his elegant eyes staring at the purple-gold lines between his eyebrows, curiously, "What about you? I remember Soul Clan's Clan Mark is not like this."

She looked a little confused. Logically speaking, Yao Yan should have participated in the Soul Clan's coming-of-age ceremony. Why didn't Clan Mark awaken?

"I'm a little special~" Yao Yan chuckled, but didn't explain much.

Gu Xun'er did not ask further questions. She guessed that Yao Yan's Clan Mark could not manifest because Five Dou Di Bloodlines was mixed.

"Next, Lin Xiu!"

While Yao Yan and Gu Xun'er were communicating, the test on the field did not stop at all. Soon it was the next young man's turn. His talent did not exceed Rank 6 Bloodline. The gift of Clan Mark was still golden. It was not until the next young man named Gu Zhen came on the stage that the scene became a bit sensational again.

Because the opponent tested out the seventh grade Bloodline Power, he was given Purple-Gold Clan Mark, and the Fine Brush drawn for him also turned purple and gold.

"Gu Zhen's Bloodline Concentration is not very high, so he cannot inspire Purple-Gold Clan Mark, but he is extremely popular among the Black Annihilation Army It's as high as Four Great Commanders, so Elder Council made an exception this time." Gu Xun'er softly explained to Yao Yan.

"It seems that my Xun'er has mixed up with Elder Council~" Yao Yan chuckled and joked.

With the strength of Gu Xun'er Two Star Dou Sheng, and the identity of Gu Yuan's biological daughter, her authority in the Gu Clan is definitely higher than that of some elders, and may only be a little lower than that of the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan.

Gu Xun'er immediately closed her mouth and didn't want to pay attention to this person. She was worried that Yao Yan was bored, so she kindly explained it to him, but the other person was kind enough to tease her in turn. It was really irritating. She gritted her teeth, really wanting to give this liar a bite.

"Next, Gu Yao!"

At this moment, the temperature of the world seemed to have dropped, and then a figure slowly walked out of the crowd. His eyes were cold and sharp. He glanced at the location of Yao Yan, and then walked towards High Platform. He did not kneel on one knee like the previous person, and his waist was straight, like a sharp Long Spear.

"You have a bad temper~" Yao Yan saw this scene and became interested. He recognized the other person. This person was the young man who had shown hostility to him before.

Under the gaze of everyone, he placed his palm on Star Chart. There was silence for a while. After a while, Star Chart trembled fiercely. Bright stars shot out from it, and stars appeared one after another on Star Chart.

"One, two, three... eight!!"

Looking at the eight stars that Star Chart slowly appeared, the crowd suddenly became uproar. Even some elders hiding in the dark had a look of amazement on their faces. They were obviously very satisfied with this result. After all, having Rank 8 Bloodline means that Gu Yao has a great probability of breaking through Dou Sheng.

"One of Gu Yao, Black Annihilation Army Four Great Commanders, the power of Eight-star Dou Zun, Rank 8 Bloodline, bestow upon Purple-Gold Clan Mark!"

As the shout fell, the Purple-Gold Dragon Brush in the hand of an elder suddenly burst out with extremely bright light. The rich energy gathered at the tip of the pen, and then his arms danced, and a mysterious rune quickly appeared on the forehead of Gu Yao.

As the last stroke fell, a lifelike Purple-Gold Clan Mark appeared on his forehead. The purple-gold Clan Mark was deeper than Gu Zhen. Obviously, there was a huge difference between the two. After all, one was given by a special case and the other was obtained by his own strength.

"Gu Yao, go down, next..." the elder who presided over the ceremony said softly with a smile on his face.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yao.

"Wait!"

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?!" The elder looked puzzled, but he was not angry and gave enough respect to the geniuses in the clan.

"I remember, on Coming-of-Age Ceremony, I am qualified to challenge anyone present!" Gu Yao looked at the audience with a cold face, and finally landed on Yao Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Although my current strength is not as good as yours, I will definitely be able to catch up with you in the future... But today, you are willing to claim your strength and give me a fair fight!"

Gu Qingyang, who was standing not far away, heard this and slapped his forehead. His whole body felt bad. He had said so much. Why was Gu Yao still stupid? Is this a challenge?

That's Dou Sheng!!

Does he understand the meaning of Dou Sheng? Even Yao Yan's self-proclaimed strength can kill him directly with his physical body!

The two are not on the same level at all.

The elder who presided over the ceremony was dumbfounded. He looked at Yao Yan, then at Gu Yao, and moved his lips. After a long time, he held back a sentence: "In principle, you can only challenge people of your own clan at will. As for people from other clans, you need to get the consent of the other party!"

As he spoke, a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead. He had already heard about Yao Yan's identity and strength, and it was no secret for a long time.

Gu Yao is so courageous that no one else dares to be so presumptuous to a real Dou Sheng.

Yao Yan was also surprised. He didn't expect Gu Yao to say such a "saucy" thing. He immediately laughed, raised his hand to stop Hun Pei who was about to take action behind him, and looked at with a smile. Gu Yao, like looking at a wayward junior, laughed in a low voice, "You should be lucky that you are in the Gu Realm now, surrounded by the Gu Clan elders to look after you. If you were in the outside world, you talked to me like this..."

He shook his head, his meaning self-evident.

"You don't dare? You're still afraid!!" Gu Yao was reluctant, with a cold look on his face, as if he wasn't afraid of the word Dou Sheng at all.

Yao Yan hasn't spoken yet, but Gu Xun'er beside her can't listen anymore. She doesn't want to see Gu Yao being treated like a monkey by Yao Yan, so Yao Yan's bad character may not be able to do such a thing. Now he is surrounded by people of all races, and even Clan Leader of all races are hidden behind his back. It is really too embarrassing to let Gu Yao continue to perform.

Gu Clan also needs face!

She raised her hand and directly solidified the space around Gu Yao, and threw it out like garbage without asking. Then she slowly stood up, and a wave of Dou Sheng's coercion swept across the audience. Her soft voice was a little cold. "Sorry, I made everyone laugh."

After saying that, she walked slowly towards High Platform. There was silence in the venue. Everyone looked at the beautiful young woman in front of them in fear. They couldn't believe that such a person was the same generation as them!

"She is Gu Xun'er of the Gu Clan? She has actually stepped into the Dou Sheng Realm!" Huo Zhi said in disbelief. She had no idea about this before, let alone heard of it.

Huo Xuan looked solemn, he remembered that Soul Yan's Marriage Alliance partner was the person in front of him!

Yao Clan, Lei Clan, Spirit Clan, Stone Clan and other younger generations all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. We are all of the same generation. How could you be so far ahead? No one could understand. They could only tremble under the pressure of Dou Sheng, unable to suppress the fear in their hearts.

At this moment, who cares who Gu Yao is.

Everyone watched Gu Xun'er step onto High Platform, and his slender hand gently placed on Star Chart. In just a moment, Star Chart Nine stars flickered, and after a moment, Star Chart began to tremble. The ninth star rotated rapidly, and the rich golden light was dazzling. Under the gaze of everyone, it turned into the tenth star.

"Ten stars...God Grade Bloodline!" The elder swallowed and slowly told the result. Even though he had already guessed it, he was still a little fanatical after seeing this scene.

"Next, let me do it~" Along with an old chuckle, an elder from the Gu Clan slowly stepped out of the space, holding a Fine Brush that was shining with colorful light in his hand. This pen was left by the Gu Clan Dou Di back then, and the power it contained was also extremely terrifying.

The person who came here didn't waste any words. A monstrous aura surged out from his body, and the terrifying power of Dou Sheng filled the world. Then under everyone's gaze, he suddenly tightened his grip on Seven-Colored Heavenly Emperor Brush, and his arms suddenly danced. Mysterious trajectories quickly formed under his palm, and along with the dance of Seven-Colored Heavenly Emperor Brush, Clan Mark in seven colors also appeared on Xun'er's smooth forehead one stroke at a time.

As a Dao Pattern road appeared between Gu Xun'er's eyebrows, the aura on the old man's body also quickly slipped away. It seemed that even his Dou Sheng Level strength could not support him to continue describing it.

Fortunately, this scene did not happen. The old man wrote the last stroke with sweat on his face, and suddenly a mysterious and unusual Seven-Colored Gold and Clan Mark appeared on Gu Xun'er's forehead, giving her a sense of sanctity.

A seven-color halo emerged, and a terrifying bloodline pressure spread. Many Gu Clan people knelt down because of this, with fanatical expressions in their eyes.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"I didn't expect that after a thousand years, Gu Clan would have another God Grade Bloodline. Congratulations, Gu Clan!" A cold and rational voice sounded from the void. A moment later, a woman wearing a white dress took the lead and walked out of the void. She was tall and graceful, especially the heavy thing in front of her, which made people swallow their saliva involuntarily.

As for her face, there seems to be a layer of Space Power all over the woman's body, which can only give people a vague overview, but that blurry scene also makes many people feel hot and find it difficult to control themselves.

Even Dou Zun can't support this charming power.

"What's there to congratulate? Even if it's God Grade Bloodline, you still have to get married... Everyone has something to hide. Now that they're here, let's all come out. After talking about the matter, I have to return to the clan to discuss it!"

Accompanied by a cold snort, the sound of thunder exploded from the void. The next moment, a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man slowly walked out of the void. There seemed to be a sea of thunder floating in his eyes, and pressure swept across the world.

"We are both Emperor Clan Leader, why are we so angry~" Along with a chuckle, the rough figure of Yan Clan Leader also came into everyone's sight.

"I have no problem with you wanting to open Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, but if there is an opportunity to break through Dou Di, how should you distribute it?" The tall man slowly stepped out of the void, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, his skin seemed to be covered with a layer of gray rock, full of a sense of power.

"Yao Clan Leader, what are you hiding from? Everyone is here, so come out and chat~" Hun Tiandi's figure slowly emerged from the void, with a gentle smile on his face, and greeted everyone.

Gu Yuan walked out of the void with a wry smile. He had been standing beside Hun Tiandi, looking at him!

After the six people appeared, Yao Clan Leader's figure slowly emerged. His expression was not good-looking, even a little gloomy.

Seven Great Imperial Clans Clan Leader appeared in everyone's sight like this. It seemed that there was no intention to discuss it secretly. They just stood in the void and chatted. As for the reason, naturally they didn't believe each other, especially Especially knowing that Gu Clan is about to negotiate with the Soul Clan Marriage Alliance, how can Clan Leader of all races go to the place prepared by the Gu Clan with peace of mind.

If you were tricked, you would die without knowing how.

It's better to talk openly, especially since Gu Clan is hosting Coming-of-Age Ceremony today. The elites of the clan are gathered here. If something unexpected happens, just take care of them all!

I guess Gu Clan wouldn't dare to take this risk!

"We're all here!" Yao Yan saw this scene, his eyes flashed slightly, he knew that the next thing would be his turn!

At the same time, Imperial Clan War will also be unveiled!
