When Yuan Zhexian reappeared, he was already standing before the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors of the Yuan Clan. Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Zhexian immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Zhexian greets the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors!"

The Eighth and Ninth Ancestors, with kind smiles on their faces, asked softly, "Immortal, what has happened? You look so hurried, have you encountered a difficult problem?"

Immediately afterward, Yuan Zhexian did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately recounted the ins and outs of the Fadi Tomb to the two elders in detail.

Upon hearing what Yuan Zhexian said, the expressions of the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors changed drastically, clearly indicating that they were not unfamiliar with the term "cultivator".

After a moment of silence, the Eighth Ancestor broke the deadlock and slowly said, "Immortal, quickly take out that cultivation manual and that mysterious bead so we can have a look at them."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhexian's mind stirred slightly, and a dazzling white light suddenly shone, revealing an ancient cultivation manual radiating a brilliant light in mid-air.

The Eighth and Ninth Ancestors exchanged a glance, then focused intently on the manual.

As time went by, the two men's relaxed expressions gradually turned serious, their brows furrowed, as if they had sensed something unusual about the technique.

After a long while, they sighed softly and returned the "Creation Scripture" to Yuan Zhexian.

At this moment, the Eighth Ancestor solemnly instructed Yuan Zhexian, "Zhexian, it seems that this bead contains enormous energy. We do not know what it is. Let us take it to the Ancient Ancestor and let him take a look. We will tell you then."

"Furthermore, remember not to reveal a single word about this matter to anyone! This matter is of utmost importance, especially concerning the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is currently in trouble, and if it finds out, the consequences will be extremely serious."

Yuan Zhexian was filled with doubt and curiosity. His bright eyes were fixed on the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors in front of him. He couldn't wait to ask, "The Heavenly Dao? What's wrong with the Heavenly Dao? Can you reveal a little bit? Just a little bit would be fine, to satisfy my curiosity."

However, the Ninth Ancestor replied with a serious expression: "The saying 'curiosity killed the cat' is not just a casual remark. With your current strength, there are still too many things that you cannot bear or understand."

"If you were to learn these secrets too early, it would only have a negative impact on your resolve and hinder your path of cultivation."

"So, let's wait until later. As your cultivation level gradually improves, you will naturally understand the reason."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on his face, but he did not give up asking. He then asked, "When will I be able to find out the truth? Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, please give me a rough timeframe."

At this moment, the Eighth Ancestor slowly spoke, "When you are able to break through to the Great Emperor realm one day, you will be able to know part of the truth of things."

"But if you want to fully understand most situations, you'll probably have to wait until you become an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian couldn't help but sigh deeply, lamenting, "Alas! The Great Emperor realm, becoming an immortal... these are simply too far away for me."

However, despite this, he was well aware that the Eighth and Ninth Patriarchs must have done this with good intentions, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Yuan Zhexian nodded, indicating that he accepted the arrangement, and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your guidance and care, Eighth Ancestor and Ninth Ancestor."

"Since that's the case, then I'll just stay here in this ancestral land and cultivate the Creation Heaven Scripture in peace."

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the spot, gently closed his eyes, and devoted himself to studying the Creation Scripture.

Then, with a wave of his arm, the Ninth Ancestor unleashed a powerful force that rapidly coalesced around Yuan Zhexian's body into an incredibly sturdy energy shield that shone with a mysterious light.

This energy shield, like a transparent protective barrier, tightly enveloped Yuan Zhexian, completely isolating him from the outside world.

Immediately afterwards, the Ninth Ancestor and the Eighth Ancestor did not hesitate at all. In a flash, they transformed into two streaks of light and sped toward the deepest part of the ancestral land.

The three mysterious and ancient jade coffins deep within the ancestral land seem to have existed since time immemorial, exuding a chilling aura.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination.

The Eighth Patriarch took a deep breath and began to rapidly form various complex and exquisite hand seals.

As he moved, streaks of golden light, like serpentine snakes, darted and weaved through the air before converging and shooting towards the third jade coffin.

A deep rumble resounded, and the previously quiet jade coffin suddenly trembled slightly. Then, an old and majestic voice came from within: "Little Eight, Little Nine, why do you call me?"

Upon hearing this voice, the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors dared not be negligent. They quickly cupped their hands in greeting and said respectfully, "Ancestor, there is indeed a very important matter that needs to be reported to you."

Then, the Eighth Ancestor took a few steps forward, composed himself, and recounted the events that had transpired with the Immortal Yuan to the ancient ancestor of the Yuan clan.

Throughout the entire process, the Yuan clan's ancestor listened quietly without uttering a single word.

After the Eighth Ancestor finished speaking, the Yuan Clan Ancient Ancestor remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Bring me that bead so I can take a look."

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Patriarch extended his right hand without hesitation, and a bead emitting a faint purple aura appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Upon seeing the bead, the ancient ancestor of the Yuan clan's pupils constricted sharply, his face showing extreme shock, and he involuntarily exclaimed, "It's...it's actually the Primordial Bead!"

It should be noted that since becoming the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors of the Yuan Clan, the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors had never seen the Yuan Clan's ancient ancestors lose their composure like this.

They exchanged a glance, both startled, and couldn't help but ask in unison, "Ancient Ancestor, what exactly is this Primordial Pearl?"

Then, the ancient ancestor spoke with a solemn expression: "You all probably know about that Primordial Realm, right?"

"It has gone through three magnificent eras: chaos, creation, and the primordial era."

"But apart from a very few people in the primordial world, no one knows that there is actually another era above the chaos, called Hongmeng!"

He paused briefly, then continued, "And this bead is a unique treasure originating from that primordial era!"

"It is not only a supreme treasure containing the entire world, but also contains endless truths of the Great Dao and unfathomable laws of the Great Dao."

"This is a supreme treasure that even the Heavenly Dao would pursue madly!"

Then, the Ancient Ancestor Eye continued, "That legendary Creation Scripture was born because it had been with the Primordial Pearl for a long time, constantly absorbing the vast power of the Great Dao within it. It became a world-shaking and supreme scripture! Its power is unimaginable!"

The ancient ancestor paused, then added, "Even the Chaos Pearl held by the old fellow Hongjun was only formed from a small portion of the power that was separated from this Primordial Pearl."

"This shows just how extraordinary this Primordial Pearl must be!"
