The Invitation to the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Lin waited for Gu Nanhai to bring up the topic of Spirit Array Masters.
"Palace Master Lin Xiao is truly a man of hidden talent! The brilliance he displayed in that Secret Realm beneath the Devouring Abyss is still fresh in my memory!"
Gu Nanhai said with a sigh.
Gu Nanhai truly meant what he said.
You do not say.
At that time, Xiao Lin had only revealed his Three-Star Dou Sheng realm. But you have to know that before that, in the intelligence system of the six Great Emperor clans, Xiao Lin was at most a High-Level Half-Saint!
The difference between a High-Level Half-Saint and Three-Star Dou Sheng is quite significant!
Of course, that's not the main point.
The key point is that Xiao Lin is also a Spirit Array Master!
This identity is the most crucial one!
Even with this identity, Three-Star Dou Sheng can only be considered a supporting character.
In fact, before Gu Nanhai came to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace on the orders of his clan patriarch, he had asked whether he wanted to find out the secrets of Spirit Array Masters from Lin Xiao.
However, considering the events that the Gu Clan was about to hold, Gu Yuan still vetoed it.
Therefore, Gu Nanhai only brought the topic to this point and had no intention of continuing.
This left Xiao Lin, who was already prepared to deal with Gu Nanhai, feeling utterly disappointed.
"Elder Gu Nanhai, you flatter me. I only have a few tricks up my sleeve; compared to the Gu Clans, they're nothing!"
Since Gu Nanhai didn't bring up the topic of Spirit Array Masters, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up himself.
However, even now, Xiao Lin still believes that Gu Nanhai is continuing to test the waters.
Therefore, Xiao Lin remained calm and composed throughout the entire process.
At the same time, Gu Nanhai seemed to have guessed what Xiao Lin was thinking, and could only show a helpless smile.
"Palace Master Lin Xiao, please don't misunderstand. I came to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace on the orders of the clan leader. I have no ill intentions, nor do I intend to test anything. I'm just here to deliver something."
As he spoke, Gu Nanhai took something out of his Storage Ring.
"Oh? You're here to deliver something to my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"
Xiao Lin was somewhat surprised after hearing Gu Nanhai say that.
It should be noted that the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and the Gu Clan are essentially unrelated.
Who wouldn't be confused if someone suddenly showed up at their door saying they were delivering something?
If it were the Lei Clan sending gifts, Xiao Lin could understand.
After all, the Lei Clan and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace do indeed have a close relationship, but as for the Gu Clans...
"Hehe, yes, I wonder how much Palace Master Lin Xiao knows about the Coming-of-Age Ceremony of my Gu Clan?"
Gu Nanhai smiled and then asked a question instead of answering.
"Hmm? Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony?"
Xiao Lin was taken aback at first, then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
So that's why Gu Nanhai came here this time!
It was indeed a misunderstanding of Gu Nanhai's intentions.
"That's right, this is a grand ceremony held by my Gu Clan every twenty years. At that time, the bloodline of the younger generation of my clan will be tested, and they will be bestowed with Clan Mark!"
Therefore, I have come here today to deliver an invitation to Palace Master Lin Xiao, hoping that Palace Master Lin Xiao will be able to attend the ceremony.
Gu Nanhai, who assumed Xiao Lin wasn't very familiar with the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony, then gave a brief introduction.
It is precisely because the Gu Clan is currently planning a famous Coming-of-Age Ceremony that they have no time to inquire about the matter of the Spirit Array Master from Xiao Lin.
"I see. The Gu Clan think highly of my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace. I will definitely attend the ceremony in person!"
At this moment, Xiao Lin also remembered that the current timeline was indeed not long before the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony began.
However, Xiao Lin hadn't expected to receive an invitation from the Gu Clan.
Thinking of what happened at the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony in the Original Work story, and the subsequent opening of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Lin certainly wouldn't refuse!
He will not only not refuse, he will even go there in person!
If given the chance, Xiao Lin would like to visit the Heavenly Tomb himself.
You have to understand, the ancestor of the Xiao Household isn't quite dead yet...
"Haha, then my Gu Clan will be eagerly awaiting Palace Master Lin Xiao's arrival!"
Although he had anticipated that Xiao Lin would not refuse, Gu Nanhai was still very happy when Xiao Lin agreed.
After all, in Gu Nanhai's eyes, if Xiao Lin personally went to the Gu Clan to attend the ceremony, his clan patriarch could personally seek out Xiao Lin to explore the secrets of the Spirit Array Master afterwards!
Immediately, Gu Nanhai handed the invitation to Xiao Lin.
Looking at the invitation with the word "ancient" printed on it, Xiao Lin carefully put it away.
"Oh, by the way, Elder Gu Nanhai, if I may be so bold as to ask, besides my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, which other forces have received invitations to attend the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony?"
Xiao Lin's question was just a casual remark; he didn't expect Gu Nanhai to tell him everything in detail.
However, to Xiao Lin's surprise, Gu Nanhai actually said it!
"Aside from the other Emperor Clans, only those forces possessing Dou Sheng Expert will be invited by our Gu Clan."
Although Gu Nanhai's answer wasn't very specific, it was undoubtedly a gesture of respect towards Xiao Lin.
At the same time, Xiao Lin nodded after hearing Gu Nanhai's answer.
That makes sense.
After all, given the size of the Gu Clan, how could ordinary forces possibly even register on their radar?
Only Dou Sheng is worthy of the Gu Clans ' attention.
It has to be said that the prestige of Dou Sheng Expert is quite high in the Dou Qi Continent!
In fact, the Gu Clan invited forces with Dou Sheng Experts to attend the ceremony mainly to demonstrate their strength.
Otherwise, if you keep hiding your abilities, how will anyone know how much skill you actually possess?
The Gu Clans can only deter others by intimidating these forces that possess Dou Sheng Experts, right?
As for forces that don't even have Dou Sheng Expert, well, sorry, you don't even qualify to be on the table, let alone be worth the Gu Clans' intimidation.
Of course, this situation is similar for all the Emperor Clans except for the Hun Clan.
Why exclude the Hun Clan?
Who would dare participate in the Hun Clan's Coming-of-Age Ceremony?
You have to be alive to come back!
The Hun Clan doesn't care about any of that!
Therefore, although it's unknown whether the Hun Clan has Coming-of-Age Ceremony, even if they do, it's estimated that only members of the Hun Clan participate...
After accepting the invitation from Gu Nanhai and exchanging pleasantries, the three of Gu Nanhai took their leave.
After seeing the three off, Xiao Lin looked at the invitation in his hand, a playful expression on his face.
"Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony, huh? Looks like I'll soon have another granddaughter-in-law! Should I just marvel at the ingenious Gu Clan wisdom that brought peace to the world?"
Another one is the Heavenly Tomb...
As he muttered to himself, Xiao Lin's face was filled with emotion.
After all, if he remembered correctly, the opening of the Heavenly Tomb would immediately follow the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
