Seeing that the Heavenly Void Divine Child had conceded defeat, the people present were somewhat surprised, but they did not say anything more.

After all, Yuan Zhexian's strength is undeniable, and admitting defeat to such a powerful figure is hardly shameful.

After all, everyone knows that Yuan Zhexian possesses three enviable imperial bodies, and his strength is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

Just then, the clear and melodious voice of the Linglong Sect Master suddenly came from the pavilion, like a nightingale singing in a valley, melodious and graceful: "In that case, the companion of the goddess at this moment is the Yuan Clan's Divine Son."

Before he finished speaking, a murmur arose in the room, and everyone clearly had no objection to the result.

Immediately afterwards, the Linglong Sect Master's voice came again: "I would like to invite Yuan Shenzi to my Linglong Palace to discuss the aftermath."

Although the voice was gentle, it carried an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, a kind-faced old woman quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Yuan Zhexian, and then led him toward the Linglong Palace.

Upon entering the Linglong Palace, Yuan Zhexian's gaze quickly swept across the hall. He saw the Linglong Sect Master and the Goddess Xuan sitting on high seats, surrounded by a group of Supreme Elders and elders of the Linglong Imperial Sect.

These people, some with somber expressions, others with solemn faces, and still others with smiles, were clearly highly respected individuals.

When Yuan Zhexian's gaze finally landed on the Linglong Sect Master, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

The Linglong Sect Master appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, with a beautiful and charming face.

She wore a flowing blue dress that accentuated her graceful figure and elegant demeanor.

Especially her mature charm, like fine aged wine, becomes more mellow with each sip, captivating and irresistible.

Yuan Zhexian sighed inwardly.

"Indeed, time never defeats a beauty; her charm remains, making her even more captivating."

The Linglong Sect Master before us is the best proof.

Yuan Zhexian entered the hall, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Greetings, Sect Master, and all seniors."

At this moment, the Linglong Sect Master sat upright in the main seat of the hall, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity.

Her gaze fell on Yuan Zhexian, and she said with a smile, "Yuan Shenzi, there's no need for such formalities."

Then, the Linglong Sect Master's voice became low and gentle as she slowly asked, "How is that old bastard Yuan Xingdao doing these days?"

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhexian was startled.

He clearly did not expect that the Linglong Sect Master would ask about his Heavenly Ancestor.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "The Heavenly Ancestor is doing well now."

However, his answer caused a stir.

Not only the Linglong Sect Master, but even some of the Supreme Elders who had stood up when they saw Yuan Zhexian's Absolute Eyes appear all showed surprise. Their gazes were fixed on Yuan Zhexian like spotlights.

Especially the Linglong Sect Master, whose body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Yuan Zhexian.

However, she quickly regained control of her emotions and swiftly returned to a calm demeanor.

Then, she said to the group, "You all go down first. I want to have a private talk with Yuan Shenzi."

Although her tone was calm, it conveyed an undeniable authority.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Nu and the other elders, though somewhat puzzled, still bowed and said, "Yes, Sect Master."

Afterwards, they filed out, leaving only the Linglong Sect Master, Yuan Zhexian, and two or three Linglong Taishang who looked like old women in the huge Linglong Palace.

Then, Sect Master Linglong asked again with a suspicious look, "Yuanshenzi, what did you just call that old guy Yuan Xingdao?"

Yuan Zhexian was equally surprised, but still answered without hesitation: "Yuan Xingdao is my Heavenly Ancestor."

However, when the Linglong Sect Master heard Yuan Zhexian's reply, her body trembled involuntarily again, as if she had suffered a huge shock.

A tear welled up in her eyes, which made Yuan Zhexian even more puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately asked with concern, "Sect Master, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"

The Linglong Sect Master took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Then, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Yuan Zhexian with a kind expression, and said slowly, "Child, you shouldn't call me Sect Master."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian became even more suspicious and couldn't help but ask, "Then how should I address you?"

The Linglong Sect Master smiled slightly, her eyes filled with boundless love, and said softly, "You should call me Heavenly Grandmother!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was struck dumb, his shock beyond words.

His voice rose slightly as he said incredulously, "What? Heavenly Grandmother?"

Just then, an old woman suddenly interjected, "Primordial Spirit Child, this is absolutely true. The Sect Master is indeed the Primordial Lord's wife, and your direct ancestral grandmother!"

After listening to the old woman's words, Yuan Zhexian suddenly understood, but at the same time, even more questions arose in his mind.

He couldn't help but ask, "But why have I never heard Tianzu mention this matter before?"

At this moment, the Linglong Sect Master's face was as pale as paper, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed endless sorrow and pain.

She slowly recalled that distant past, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Yuan Xingdao and I were both born in that turbulent Nirvana era."

"At that time, I was a goddess of the Linglong Imperial Clan, and he was the prince of the Yuan Clan."

"Our meeting was quite dramatic; it was a case of 'no fight, no friendship'."

“At first, we were rivals, neither of us willing to give in, but as time went on, we gradually discovered each other’s strengths and charms, and eventually he became my companion.”

She paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "From then on, our hearts grew closer and closer, and our understanding of each other deepened."

"And so, we finally came together and became husband and wife."

A happy smile flashed across the Linglong Sect Master's face, but it was quickly covered by sorrow.

She continued, "In order to be with Yuan Xingdao, I resolutely gave up my identity as the Goddess Linglong and followed him back to the Yuan Clan."

"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and we have welcomed the arrival of a new life—our child, your great-grandfather, named Yuan Qingxu."

"From the moment of Qingxu's birth, he was accompanied by astonishing phenomena."

"He not only possesses the indestructible battle body of the Emperor's Body, but his talent has also reached the level of Emperor's potential."

A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the Linglong Sect Master, but it was quickly replaced by deep worry.

"We had high hopes for him at the time, hoping that one day Qingxu would be able to reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm and become the strongest being—the Immortal Emperor Realm."

"However, fate played a cruel joke on them."

"Until that incident happened..."
