The Linglong Sect Master's voice suddenly turned low, as if it were a painful memory she didn't want to mention.

"This happened tens of millions of years later."

"At that time, Qingxu was already a peerless expert in the Quasi-Immortal King realm, with almost no rivals among his peers, making him an invincible existence."

"He suppressed countless peers with his powerful strength, and his reputation spread far and wide."

"However, fate is always full of drama."

"An accident severely injured Qingxu, leaving him in critical condition."

"Just when he was on the verge of death, a woman at the Golden Immortal realm appeared. With her alchemy skills and meticulous care, she pulled Qingxu back from the brink of death."

"This woman's talent is mediocre, a world apart from Qingxu's."

"But her alchemy skills were extremely high. Under her careful care, Qingxu not only gradually recovered from his injuries, but the two also developed a deep affection for each other."

"Soon after, they welcomed the fruit of their love—Xiao Xun."

That is, your grandfather—Yuan Xun.

"However, Xiao Xun's birth did not bring them much joy, because Xiao Xun's aptitude was also mediocre. He neither inherited Qingxu's imperial body nor showed any immortal appearance."

"This caused Qingxu and his wife great distress, and they searched everywhere for ways to improve Xiao Xun's aptitude."

"However, even powerful forces like the Yuan Clan and the Linglong Emperor Sect at that time did not have any peerless elixirs that could improve one's aptitude."

"Just when they were almost in despair, they suddenly heard that a peerless elixir had been born in the Western Spirit Continent, called the Nine Apertures Returning to Emptiness Elixir."

"It is said that this elixir can cleanse the body of all impurities, turning them into nothingness, and then creating entirely new talents and abilities."

"This news was undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness for Qingxu and his wife."

"Without hesitation, they immediately decided to go to the Western Spirit State to find the legendary Nine Apertures Returning to Emptiness Elixir, hoping to change Xiao Xun's fate."

"Until another piece of news suddenly came."

"Hundreds of prodigies and geniuses launched an attack on Qingxu simultaneously!"

"Qingxu also exhausted his own power, detonating several Immortal King artifacts."

"But because the power of the Immortal King's artifact was so great, it tore open a hole in the spacetime of the universe."

"Qingxu and Xiaoling were also sucked into this universe by its terrifying suction force."

"Logically speaking, although the self-destruction of a Celestial King artifact is extremely powerful, it is absolutely impossible for it to possess such terrifying power that it could tear apart a hole in the spacetime of the universe."

"This is something I can't understand at all, I really can't figure out the reason."

"Not only that, even my ancestors personally went to search for it, but in the end they found nothing."

"This makes the whole incident even more perplexing."

"At that time, Yuan Xingdao had already become the head of the Yuan clan, and I also questioned why Qingxu and his wife were sent alone."

"Why isn't Qingxu's protector by Qingxu's side?"

"However, his answer greatly disappointed me."

"He actually said that he was powerless to do anything about it, and even less able to explain it."

"What's even more baffling is that the Yuan Clan's Eighth Ancestor suddenly placed a restriction on Xiao Xun for some unknown reason, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. Then, he and the ten-year-old Xiao Xun disappeared without a trace, their whereabouts unknown."

"I never saw Xiao Xun again after that."

"The successive blows made me completely lose heart. In a state of grief and resentment, I left the Yuan Clan and returned to the Linglong Imperial Sect."

"Soon after, I heard the news that the Yuan Clan had sealed off the border."

"Until one era later, when the Yuan Clan was heard of again, it was because the Nine Ancestors suppressed the two clan leaders of the Origin Fire Clan and Ice Clan, becoming the Ten Great Masters of the Immortal Realm."

"At that time, I was already the sect leader of the Linglong Imperial Sect."

"That's why I was so excited when you said Yuan Xingdao was your ancestor. I never thought that I, Xin Jinghan, would be able to see my descendants again."

"And it is a descendant with such talent and genius."

"I'm so excited."

As she spoke, Xin Jinghan slowly walked up to Yuan Zhexian and gently stroked Yuan Zhexian's face with one hand.

This gesture is full of love and tenderness, as if an elder is caring for their younger sibling.

Yuan Zhexian remained motionless, allowing Xin Jinghan to gently caress him.

After hearing about the matter between Xin Jinghan and Yuan Xingdao, he was deeply troubled and filled with sympathy for his great-grandmother.

Just then, Yuan Zhexian walked up to Xin Jinghan with a smile and said softly, "Grandmother, actually Grandfather has always been in the mortal realm, and according to my estimation, he should not be far from ascending to the immortal realm."

Upon hearing this, Xin Jinghan trembled violently. She looked at Yuan Zhexian in disbelief, her voice trembling with excitement: "Child, are you telling the truth?"

Yuan Zhexian nodded without hesitation and answered affirmatively, "Yes, Heavenly Grandmother, this is absolutely true."

He paused briefly, as if gathering his thoughts, before continuing, "Not only that, but also my father, mother, and sister are in the mortal realm."

"I think I will ascend to the Immortal Realm soon."

Yuan Zhexian's words made Xin Jinghan even more excited. She stared intently at Yuan Zhexian, as if trying to glean more information from his face.

Yuan Zhexian sensed Xin Jinghan's expectation. He took a deep breath and continued, "Moreover, Father's physique is the same as that of our great-grandfather, both being indestructible battle bodies."
