Master Gu Xuan's figure emerged suddenly from the shadows like a ghost.
And his expression was terrifyingly gloomy!
Fang Li, Jiang Qingqing, and Liu Ruyan exchanged glances subconsciously.
As their eyes met, it was as if they could read each other's deepest thoughts.
Without hesitation, the three rushed toward the mysterious stone tablet and sat down cross-legged in front of it.
They began to concentrate fully on understanding their own unique and precious opportunities.
Although they also really wanted to watch the drama unfold.
But as for what happens next...
It's not something their disciples and followers can get involved in.
......
The Cloud Ancestor, who had been quietly floating above the stone tablet, also saw Gu Xuan suddenly appear.
At first, he frowned.
Slightly surprised!
The final challenge was an independent space he had created during his peak years, complete with the most formidable killing formation.
No one can get in unless they give their permission.
Forcing your way in will trigger the outer array, which will mercilessly annihilate any intruder on the spot!
As a result, someone broke in and then disappeared.
He, a dignified and upright True Dao Realm expert, had not noticed any trace of the other party's actions.
Could it be that the other party's cultivation level surpasses his own?
impossible!
Thinking of this, Ancestor Yunxiao's scrutinizing gaze turned straight to Gu Xuan, who had suddenly appeared.
As it turned out, they discovered that the other party was only at the Human Immortal Realm.
This puzzled him.
How did a Human Immortal manage to enter an independent space created by a True Dao Realm cultivator without being detected?!
He couldn't help but scrutinize Gu Xuan, who had suddenly appeared.
This one look was crucial; it revealed a problem!
The ghostly soul of the Cloud Soaring Ancestor trembled violently.
It was like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake.
It instantly stirred up a huge wave!
In that instant, Ancestor Yunxiao finally understood.
Why did Fang Li and the other two exude such a subtle yet incredibly welcoming aura?
Back then, he once separated a wisp of his divine soul to become Yun Hezi.
He traveled the world and took in a disciple, who is now standing before me, Gu Xuan.
To be honest, Gu Xuan was also pitiful.
He was found in the snow; I don't know which heartless parents abandoned him.
He was later taken back to Medicine King Valley by his clone and took on disciples.
It's just unexpected that despite using so many miraculous pills and medicines since childhood, his cultivation level ultimately stopped at the mid-stage of the physical body realm.
At that time, the clone was also trying to find a way, and after many difficulties, he obtained the ancient elixir formula for cleansing the tendons and marrow.
It's just that we haven't had time to refine it yet.
At that time, the main soul was unable to sustain itself.
In utter desperation
The Cloud Ancestor had no choice but to reluctantly recall this divine soul clone under the guise of passing away, and merge it into the main soul.
In order to stabilize his remaining few fragments of soul, he has been able to barely hold on until now.
However, what Ancestor Yunxiao never expected was...
Gu Xuan, the disciple who was once taken in by the clone Yun Hezi, has also embarked on the path of taking in disciples.
Moreover, they were so fortunate to recruit Fang Li, Li Qing, and Zhao Ling'er, three exceptional talents who are one in a million.
Even more coincidentally, he has now chosen all three of his apprentices at the same time.
He is about to become the one who inherits his mantle.
This cycle of cause and effect truly makes one marvel at the capriciousness and wonder of fate!
What he was more curious about was how Gu Xuan had cultivated from the Physical Body Realm to the Human Immortal Realm over the years.
This already puts him at the very pinnacle of the Heavenly Profound Realm, making him the undisputed number one.
Could it be some extraordinary encounter?!
......
Just as the Cloud Ancestor was immersed in a jumble of complex thoughts.
Feeling deceived, Gu Xuan flew towards Ancestor Yunxiao with a face full of anger, like a bolt of lightning.
His eyes were blazing with fire, as if he wanted to burn the person in front of him to ashes.
Ancestor Yunxiao sighed helplessly, already knowing what kind of questioning he would face next.
Sure enough, before he could even open his mouth to explain...
Then, Gu Xuan's furious roar, filled with resentment and unwillingness, echoed from afar: "Old Deng, you old bastard, you're still alive?! I thought you were long gone!"
Faced with such disrespectful words.
Ancestor Yunxiao was not angry, but calmly replied, "Boy, don't be rude."
"I have indeed been dead for a long time, and what remains in the world now is nothing more than a wisp of my soul."
That's all.
He slowly raised his head and met Gu Xuan's suspicious gaze.
"......."
Gu Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
Then, he focused his gaze and looked closely at Ancestor Yunxiao...
Only then did he realize that his master, Yun Hezi, was actually in a state of spiritual consciousness.
Moreover, the entire figure appeared extremely ethereal and elusive, like a candle flame in the wind, which would completely vanish without a trace if one were not careful.
His gaze was fixed on Ancestor Yunxiao.
He was secretly astonished.
This person's face was exactly the same as his master's, as if they were carved from the same mold.
However, despite their striking resemblance.
But in certain subtle ways, it revealed a sense of unfamiliarity that he could not quite put his finger on.
He couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes filled with doubt and wariness.
After a moment of contemplation.
He demanded, "Who exactly are you?"
"Could you really be my master, Yun Hezi? But why do I feel like something's not quite right?"
"Or perhaps... you are actually the owner of this mysterious ancient cave?!"
"Yun Hezi? He's just an insignificant clone of mine."
"It's like an old ancestor of the clouds saying it casually."
At the same time, he reached out and touched his snow-white, long, and smooth beard, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"And I? I am the true master of this Boundless Grotto-Heaven—Ancestor Yunxiao!"
His voice wasn't loud.
But it seemed to contain endless majesty and power, echoing endlessly throughout the space.
Upon hearing these words from Ancestor Yunxiao...
Gu Xuan frowned, pondering to himself.
He never expected that his master, Yun Hezi, would be like this.
It was merely an avatar of the Cloud Ancestor before him.
So, just how terrifying is the power of this Cloud Ancestor?
Gu Xuan's expression grew increasingly serious, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
In an instant, a suffocating silence filled the air.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward and quiet.
Ancestor Yunxiao didn't seem to care; he just stood there quietly.
He stared intently at Gu Xuan, who was deep in thought, without urging him or offering any further explanation.
It was as if Gu Xuan was being given enough time to process this astonishing news.
