Gu Yifeng bowed deeply, a gesture of extreme solemnity, as if this bow signified that from this moment forward, he had truly become Cang Wuhen's disciple.
"Well, you should step back and rest for now, and wait for the Ancient Clan Competition to begin." Cang Wuhen waved his hand, then glanced at Gu Yifeng's injuries and frowned. Gu Yifeng was seriously injured.
Cang Wuhen then said to Gu Yifeng, "Come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked in another direction, with Gu Yifeng following behind him. The two disappeared from everyone's sight.
After a long while, Gu Yifeng walked out of the room. His temperament had changed drastically, and he had undergone a complete transformation. He was tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was incomparably handsome. He exuded a sharp and fierce aura, as if he had transformed into an unparalleled spear, ready to tear through space.
"Young Master is out!" As soon as Gu Yifeng appeared, all eyes of the crowd were focused on him. They felt an invisible pressure descend upon them, pressing down on their hearts and making it hard for them to breathe.
"Why are you still standing here?" Gu Yifeng asked calmly, scanning the crowd.
The crowd's expressions flickered, and their gazes turned towards Gu Yifeng, as if something had happened.
"You guys continue, I'm going to find my brother." Gu Yifeng said, then his body soared into the air and flew away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
"Young Master, what is this...?" The crowd watched the gradually disappearing figure, and a strange light flashed in their eyes. Could it be that Gu Yifeng was going to find Chen Dongming?
"Let's go and take a look." Everyone had a vague idea of what was going on, and they all left, heading towards the courtyard where Chen Dongming lived.
A moment later, Gu Yifeng landed at the entrance of Chen Dongming's courtyard, glanced around, then pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The moment he stepped into the room, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted over, refreshing and invigorating. He glanced at the man sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He said, "Brother, wake up."
"Hmm?" The man on the bed opened his eyes, looked at Gu Yifeng, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He said, "You broke through?"
"Hmm." Gu Yifeng nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Gu Yifeng's seclusion this time was to break through to the eighth level of the Yuan King realm. However, he did not expect that his breakthrough would trigger a lightning tribulation, and it was even the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Tribulation. This shows how strong his bloodline is.
"Your talent is even stronger than I expected, actually attracting the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Tribulation. In the tens of millions of years of our ancient clan's history, we have never encountered such a situation before." Chen Dongming said with a smile, then looked at Gu Yifeng a few more times and asked, "What kind of bloodline flows in your body that can condense a lightning attribute soul, and moreover, a Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon?"
“I don’t know either.” Gu Yifeng shook his head and said, “I once heard my ancestor mention something. He told me that the blood of the sacred beast inherited from the ancient clan flows in my veins. As for why I can release the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon, he couldn’t explain it either. However, according to him, this bloodline was left by the ancestors of the ancient clan and has a certain special ability.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongming's pupils constricted sharply, and he said, "The bloodline left by our ancestors?"
"Yes, according to our ancestor, the ancient clan's ancestor was an extremely terrifying being in the Chaos Realm, possessing a pair of mysterious eyes. These eyes seemed to come from the primordial era, able to see through all rules. After the ancestor's fall, a drop of blood fell from these eyes."
"That drop of blood merged into my body and was sealed deep within me. When I reached the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel, that drop of blood awakened again, unleashing unparalleled power. It even allowed me to comprehend a special kind of rule power, namely the rule of thunder."
Gu Yifeng explained simply, clearly not revealing too much, as it involved the core secrets of the ancient clan. Although the ancient clan was no longer so resistant to the bloodline of the ancient clan, this was limited to the younger generation of the ancient clan.
The ancient clan's high-ranking officials were also quite cautious about this matter, as it involved the secrets of their ancestors.
"The Thunder Rule." A glint flashed in Chen Dongming's eyes. It seemed to fit the style of his ancestor.
"Brother, who is the host of today's ancient clan competition?" Gu Yifeng suddenly thought of something and asked.
“Our ancient clan’s number one prodigy, Xuanyuan Hao,” Chen Dongming said. “This person is the most outstanding descendant of the Xuanyuan clan chief. He was born with the Xuanyuan bloodline and has an extremely terrifying talent for cultivation. He is already a peak Emperor Realm figure.”
Chen Dongming uttered a sound, like a sigh. With his talent, he had only just touched the barrier of the Emperor Realm, while Xuan Yuanhao was already a peak Emperor Realm expert.
“He is indeed very strong.” Gu Yifeng nodded slightly. Xuan Yuanhao is one of the strongest young people of the Xuan Yuan clan, ranking thirty-sixth on the Heavenly Decree Ranking. The Heavenly Decree Ranking is a list that young people of the ancient clan compete for, and it is replaced every hundred years. Xuan Yuanhao has been at the top for the past hundred years, and his strength can be described as heaven-defying.
However, the ancient clan has several geniuses who are even more powerful than Xuan Yuanhao. In terms of talent and foundation, Xuan Yuanhao may be considered top-tier, but in terms of actual combat, he dares not say.
The ancient clan has a unique feature: all the prodigies participating in the clan gathering must engage in a life-or-death battle.
"However, Xuanyuan Hao seems to have had some bad luck, as he happened to encounter an ancient tomb that had been robbed," Chen Dongming added, his expression slightly regretful.
"What?" Gu Yifeng's expression froze instantly, his eyes showing surprise. Xuan Yuanhao had encountered an ancient tomb?
His gaze suddenly flashed with a chill, and he said coldly, "So, the ancient tomb has been stolen?"
Chen Dongming nodded slightly: "That's right. Xuan Yuanhao was injured because of this, but he was destined to survive. He happened to obtain a pill, and after taking it, his injuries were immediately healed."
"So lucky?" Gu Yifeng's heart trembled. Xuanyuan Hao was an extraordinary being of the Xuanyuan clan. How could he have a treasure that even he could not obtain?
“This ancient tomb should have been left behind by a senior.” Chen Dongming said, “I heard that the ancient tomb is an ancient relic, where many senior figures are buried. However, the guardians of the ancient clan have also verified that there is nothing particularly strange about the ancient tomb.”
“I also heard it from my ancestor,” Gu Yifeng murmured.
"What are you planning to do?" Chen Dongming suddenly looked at Gu Yifeng and asked with a smile. He admired Gu Yifeng very much, so after seeing Gu Yifeng break through, he decided to help him complete the mission of the ancient clan. It just so happened that he was also missing a disciple.
Chen Dongming's words made Gu Yifeng fall silent for a moment. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Chen Dongming, and solemnly asked, "Brother, would you be willing to take me as your disciple?"
