As soon as the words left his mouth, Ji Fengming realized he had misspoke: "I'm sorry, senior, I misspoke."

"Hmm? What did you call me?" Ling Yu smiled at Ji Fengming, not angry at all.

Ji Fengming was momentarily stunned. He glanced at Hei Xiao, and even though he was usually thick-skinned, his cheeks felt hot.

"Father, stop teasing him. The most important thing right now is how to deal with the demons and Demon Lord Jiu Yue, otherwise something terrible will happen." As Hei Xiao spoke, he pulled Ji Fengming behind him, his protectiveness towards his son was all too obvious.

Ling Yu looked at the two children with a doting expression, then straightened her expression before saying, "There are two forces remaining on the Danling Continent."

These two forces were left behind to prevent the demons from wreaking havoc on the world one day.

One source is manpower, which is said to be a rule established by the clans when the Danling Continent first appeared.

Every 100,000 years, a rotation occurs, with the four strongest clans each leaving behind their strongest member to guard the Danling Continent.

The second force is the immortal artifact. This world-suppressing immortal artifact has always been guarded by the Yun family. Apart from the head of the Yun family, no one has ever seen it, nor does anyone know what the immortal artifact looks like.

This matter was originally known only to the Hidden Sect and the head of the Yun family.

But when I was about to ascend to immortality, Yun Liefeng, the head of the Yun family, found me for some reason and told me about this.

Looking back now, perhaps Yun Liefeng had a premonition of a major upheaval in the family, which is why he told me about it.

Both Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming were dumbfounded and completely puzzled:

"So, in other words, there are still four ancestors on the Danling Continent who have been dormant for a full 100,000 years without ascending?"

"Who are they, and where are they now?"

"Since the head of the Yun family foresaw the great upheaval in the family, why didn't he take precautions to avoid disaster?"

"The Yun family possesses a celestial artifact, why don't they use it?"

Ling Yu also shook her head and said, "Yun Liefeng didn't say much to me about this matter. He only told me about it and the location of the Yun family's immortal artifact, and asked me to inform the right people at the appropriate time."

"The Yun family has already been wiped out, so the immortal artifact might have already been taken by someone else," Ji Fengming speculated pessimistically.

Ling Yu said confidently, "No, Yun Liefeng said that only when a direct descendant of the Yun family has a bloodline that has returned to their ancestral form can the restrictive formation of the Yun family's ancestral land be opened and the immortal artifacts in the ancestral land be taken out. Even if he is the head of the Yun family, he can only see them, but he cannot touch them."

Therefore, even if the Yun family is destroyed.

As long as the person Yun Liefeng mentioned doesn't appear, no one can take the immortal artifact; it must still be in the Yun family's ancestral land.

Of the four ancestors who survived to this day, I only guessed two.

One is most likely in the Hidden Sect, another is most likely in the Yun family, and the whereabouts of the other two are unknown.

I think you don't need to deliberately look for these four people.

If the Danling Continent truly faces a crisis of survival, they should automatically reveal themselves and fulfill their mission.

"But if we wait for them to show themselves..."

"Ling Yu, you're slacking off again! Did you come here to cheat and shirk your duties just to collect your monthly immortal stones?!"

"What's this?"

"It's nothing, just a little woman's trinket... Hey, who are you fighting with!"

"Bang!"

Before Black Owl could finish speaking, a sharp shout, a few brief arguments, and a crisp sound suddenly rang out from the other end of the screen.

The image in the mirror went black for a short while, and then it returned to its original appearance as a bronze mirror.

Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao exchanged glances, then stammered, "It seems Uncle Ling isn't having an easy time in the Upper Realm, huh?"
