Liangcheng border, beyond the secret realm.
"Lord of the city, Her Highness the Princess and the others have been arranged to return to the city. Xia Du has invited a Supreme Ancestor to this place!" The deputy general of Liang City led all the city's defense forces, as well as several Beast Kings, to this place. Upon seeing Lord Long, he hurriedly stepped forward to report.
"Supreme Ancestor?!" City Lord Long was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Xia Du had actually managed to invite a Supreme Ancestor.
He originally thought that being able to persuade a sage ancestor would be quite good, but this time it was beyond his expectations.
However, he immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"The Imperial Ancestor Wuji!" the lieutenant replied hastily.
Upon hearing this name, Lord Long unconsciously frowned.
Wuji Ancestor!
He was no stranger to this title; it was a well-known title twenty years ago.
However, the reason why the Wuji Ancestor became famous was not because of his strength, but because he devoured his companion beast and broke through to the Beast Taming Supreme.
At that time, the entire beast race was on the verge of war with the entire human race because of him, and the two races almost went to war.
However, the matter was later dropped due to an incident within the Orcs.
Otherwise, a bloody conflict between the two races would surely ensue.
Just then.
An old man flew over riding a dragon eagle.
"The thirteenth patriarch of the Azure Cloud Sect of the Northern Cloud Empire pays his respects to Lord Dragon City!"
An extremely terrifying aura was immediately released.
Lord Long's face turned pale instantly. He was just a minor Three-Seal Beast King; how could he possibly withstand the pressure from such an existence?
That was a genuine Five-Seal Beast Taming Saint.
It's obvious he's trying to intimidate himself.
"Greetings, Ancestor!" Lord Long gave a wry smile, gritted his teeth, and spoke.
"Haha, Lord Long, this unicorn must be your companion beast, right?" The thirteenth patriarch of the Qingyun Sect chuckled, appearing exceptionally amiable.
Lord Longcheng performed a difficult bow.
He replied, "Exactly!"
"Not bad, not bad, gentle by nature!" The thirteenth patriarch of Qingyun nodded and said calmly.
"Thank you for your praise, Ancestor," the City Lord of Long said politely.
"This old ancestor came here to investigate because a disciple of the sect reported that a strange beast had appeared in the secret realm. Is this true?" The thirteenth ancestor of the Qingyun Sect asked, his face becoming somewhat serious.
Beasts are no small matter!
"Ancestor Qingyun, this is indeed true. A strange beast has appeared in the secret realm, and it is not simple. Currently, the disciples of Qingzhu Sacred Academy are staying behind to resist the beast, while the disciples of the other three sacred academies have all disappeared."
"Now the secret realm has collapsed, and we have no way of knowing what's happening inside!" Lord Long replied.
"Hmm? These youngsters from the Green Bamboo Sacred Academy actually have such courage. However, the disappearance of a disciple of the Sacred Academy is no small matter." The thirteenth patriarch of the Green Cloud Sect was somewhat surprised, not expecting that these geniuses from the Sacred Academy would have such spirit.
However, he still held the Holy Academy in great awe, for its terrifying foundation was enough to overthrow a vast and powerful empire.
"We don't know the situation inside yet. Let's wait outside for the other forces' patriarchs, and then we can explore together!" The thirteenth patriarch of Qingyun glanced at the collapsed entrance to the secret realm and frowned.
After all, it was a strange beast, and even he was hesitant to venture out alone!
This isn't cowardice; it's strategic waiting!
That's right, strategic waiting!
"Yes, Ancestor!" Lord Long couldn't help but secretly complain to himself.
When they first came out, they had such an awesome aura, but now they've lost their edge?
Go ahead and keep going!
"The Second Ancestor of Beiyu Island from the Eastern Xuan Empire pays his respects!"
"The Tenth Pavilion Master of Dongluan Pavilion, Evergreen Empire, pays his respects!"
"Tiancang Pavilion..."
"..."
Dozens of figures reappeared here.
The weakest are the Beast Taming Masters.
There are even a few companion beasts that are descendants of sacred beasts and have mixed bloodlines with sacred beasts.
"I've heard there are strange beasts in this secret realm!"
"Four hundred years have passed, have they come in again?"
"I will never forget that bloody battle. The sky was dark and the earth was shrouded in darkness. Our sect leader and senior brother were killed in battle. Only three people from our sect survived!"
"..."
The patriarchs of all the factions present couldn't help but reminisce. Anyone who had experienced that period of time would never want to go through it again.
It was too desperate, too terrifying!
Those extremely powerful Beast Taming Supremes were nothing more than ordinary ants in front of them, and could only perish together with them by self-destruction.
That era was also known as the Dark Age of Bloodshed!
"Esteemed Ancestors, I, Ancestor Wuji, am late. I apologize!" A piercing voice suddenly rang out.
And the name of the Wuji Ancestor resounded.
All the patriarchs present changed color, their expressions turning grim.
He killed his own companion beast to break through to the Beast Taming Supreme realm!
This is an extremely shameful act, and any beast tamer would despise it!
However, it must be admitted that the Wuji Ancestor's talent is indeed terrifying. Twenty years ago, he broke through to the Supreme level and became the youngest Beast Taming Supreme.
He's only 150 years old now!
Within the forbidden area of the Great Xia royal family, those guys were all ancient monsters over four hundred years old, and it was unknown how many years it took them to break through to the Supreme Realm.
"Elders, today these strange beasts have reappeared. Although I did not live through that era, I am well aware of how terrifying these beasts are!"
"Therefore, we urge all the patriarchs to join forces and reopen the door to this secret realm."
The Old Ancestor Wuji chuckled and spoke.
“Alright!” The elders exchanged glances and nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. After all, having a Beast Taming Supreme here made them feel much more at ease.
Abandoned land.
As Lin Chen and his group delved deeper into their exploration...
An abandoned palace appeared before everyone's eyes.
“This palace…” Ye Yao looked at the palace and fell into deep thought.
A familiar feeling instantly welled up in my heart.
"The Celestial Palace!"
Hearing Ye Yao's murmurs beside him, Lin Chen climbed into Ye Yao's arms.
"Ye Yao, what's wrong? Do you recognize this abandoned palace?" Lin Chen asked telepathically.
“I recognize it. This palace is where I used to live!”
Ye Yao said with absolute certainty.
Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.
I glanced at the ruins of the collapsed palace. Although it had been destroyed for hundreds of years, I could still see the splendor of the palace.
"Could it be... the ruins of the battlefield from your ancient war of the Fallen Emperors!" Lin Chen couldn't help but make a bold guess.
Ye Yao suddenly realized, but was quickly shocked.
Why has the battlefield of the fallen emperor become this abandoned land again?
What happened after I died?
Why do strange beasts appear in this world?
There were so many questions she wanted to ask in person, but with her current strength, it would be nothing more than sending herself to her death... Oh well!
