Seeing that Ling Yun agreed to protect the ancestor's ascension, Dan Xuzi's face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, young friend Ling. To be honest, I also think you are a good person."
Please, all young friends, proceed to where our patriarch is present!
Immediately, everyone got up and followed Danxuzi to the ancestral temple on the back mountain.
Along the way, Ling Yun and his group noticed that all the disciples of the Heavenly Pill Sect had solemn expressions, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.
Dan Xuzi said:
“In the past, ascension to immortality was common on the Golden Cloud Continent. But since when did it become so rare that not a single ascension to immortality occurs for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?”
Currently, the strength gap between the major sects is not significant. Once an ascendant appears, it means that the balance of power will be broken.
Therefore, in recent years, whenever an ascensionist appears, it is a major calamity for the sect, and they will face targeting from the major sects!
Ling Yun nodded slightly. Once an ascension occurs, it means that the sect's fortune will increase, and many powerful individuals will be born as a result.
No one wants a situation where one side dominates.
At this moment, Abao pointed to a boy sweeping the ground in the inner square and whispered:
"Brother, isn't that He Ziming, the Holy Son who competed with you in alchemy at the headquarters of the Pill Refining Association?"
Ling Yun looked over and saw that it really was He Ziming, but He Ziming looked extremely dejected now, with no trace of his former spirit or arrogance.
Danxuzi, standing to the side, sighed:
"Alas~ Since returning from Zhao, He Ziming's Dao heart has been shattered. I have tried many methods, but none of them have worked."
He Ziming had been so successful before, so successful that everyone was envious, but he was completely discouraged by just one failure!
Danxuzi showed no regret in his words. In his view, a person who could not even face failure could not be called a genius, let alone be worthy of pity.
His views coincided with Ling Yun's. Ling Yun believed that if A Bao had the same experience, he would have gotten back up from where he fell instead of giving up on himself.
The group arrived at the ancestral temple on the back mountain.
At this moment, the ancestral temple was enveloped by a light curtain.
The aura of the training ground was becoming increasingly explosive, as if it were at a crucial moment of breaking through to the Mahayana stage.
There were three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed on the north, south, and west sides of the light curtain. These three were all sect elders who were friendly with the Heavenly Pill Sect.
When the sect leader of Tiandan Sect saw Danxuzi leading his men approaching, he hurriedly went to greet them.
"Elder, who are these young friends?"
Danxuzi introduced with a smile:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, this is young friend Ling Yun and his friends."
"Ling Yun!" The sect leader was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. "You're the Ling Yun who killed Qi Feng's entire family?"
Ling Yun's face stiffened. What does "killing the whole family" even mean? "Exterminating the entire family" sounds much better!
"That's right!"
"That's great!" The gloom between the brows of the Heavenly Pill Sect Master dissipated considerably.
"With young friend Ling around, there is hope for the ancestor's ascension!"
Immediately, the sect leader led Ling Yun and his group to the east side of the dojo, and clasped his hands in greeting:
"Our ancestor will break through to the next realm in at most an hour. Please, all of you young friends, guard this place!"
As he spoke, his expression became somewhat solemn, as if he were carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"Young friend, this time there are not only ten hostile sects, but also others who do not want to see the ancestor ascend. Overnight, Tiandan City has gained more than a hundred Nascent Soul Realm experts!"
Hundreds of experts at the Integration Realm!
Ling Yun frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Sect Master, tell me the truth, does the Heavenly Pill Sect possess some great treasure?"
Ling Yun speculated that at most ten Nascent Soul Realm experts could hinder the ancestor's ascension.
To mobilize a hundred Nascent Soul Realm experts at once would require the Heavenly Pill Sect Ancestor to do something that would incur divine wrath and universal condemnation, and clearly, the Heavenly Pill Sect Ancestor is not that kind of person.
There is only one truth: the Heavenly Pill Sect possesses a coveted treasure, which was recently acquired, and the ascension of the patriarch is related to this treasure.
The sect leader of the Heavenly Pill Sect remained silent, seemingly struggling with whether or not to reveal the secret of the supreme treasure.
After all, the treasure is too precious. What if Ling Yun covets it after seeing it? Wouldn't that create another enemy?
Seeing that the sect leader of the Heavenly Pill Sect remained silent, Ling Yun said in a deep voice:
"I agreed to help because I thought Danxuzi was a good person. If the sect leader is hiding something, that would be rather unethical."
Do you realize that helping the Heavenly Pill Sect now means offending hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm experts? We might find ourselves unable to move an inch in the Heavenly Yuan Dynasty from now on!
Upon hearing this, Danxuzi, who was standing to the side, said solemnly:
"Sect Master, Young Friend Ling is a trustworthy person!"
"good!"
The sect leader stopped hesitating and said, "Please follow me, my young friends!"
The group followed the sect leader into the underground secret realm.
Upon seeing the scene before them, A Bao, Bai Qilin, and the others instantly showed anger on their faces.
This is an ancient battlefield, a remnant of a battle fought in the Chaos Demon Realm.
Everywhere were the corpses of great demons, all reduced to skeletons, including tens of thousands of black dragon skeletons, as well as the Iron-Eating Beast Clan, True Dragons, Nine-Headed Foxes, and others.
It was all just skeletons; it looked horrifying.
Millions of years have passed, yet the aura of the great war still lingers, along with the powerful demonic energy that cannot be dispelled.
The sect leader said:
"This was discovered by our ancestor half a year ago. There is an ancient battlefield underground in our Heavenly Pill Sect."
As he spoke, he took out a grayish-yellow crystal.
Upon seeing the crystal, Ling Yun's pupils contracted. Clearly, even Ling Yun was somewhat surprised by this crystal, and a little envious.
"Chaos Crystal!"
Ling Yun was startled. This was a priceless treasure, a supreme treasure possessed only by the Black Dragon Clan, who resided in the Chaos World.
It is also because of the existence of the Chaos Crystal that the Black Dragon Clan's strength is so terrifying.
Chaos Crystals are formed from the essence of chaotic power and contain powerful chaotic energy.
Even the wealthy and powerful ancient super sect, the Misty Immortal Sect, only has one.
Even when Ling Yun wanted to use it to comprehend the power of chaos, he had to go through layers of approval before he could even touch it.
It is quite normal that the patriarch of the Heavenly Pill Sect was able to break through to a higher realm because of this.
"My ancestor couldn't control his aura and was about to break through his cultivation realm because of a tiny piece the size of his little finger that he refined!"
The sect leader of the Heavenly Pill Sect said.
"A total of three Chaos Crystals were collected from the entire ancient battlefield. I can give one to you, young friend!"
Ling Yun smiled but didn't say anything. Three yuan? Who are you trying to fool! There are at least ten yuan here.
Seeing that Ling Yun remained silent, the sect leader smiled awkwardly, then gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Three pieces! That's all I can give!"
Ling Yunyao pointed, "You don't need that many. The energy of the Chaos Crystal is astonishing. One piece is enough to allow the entire Heavenly Pill Sect to break through to the next realm."
"I only need six dollars, and I guarantee the ancestor will ascend safely today!"
Six pieces!
The sect leader of Tiandan Sect looked pained, thinking that Ling Yun not only had the ability to kill Qi Feng's entire family, but also to kill the Qi family's Demonic Dao Supreme, he must have the ability to stop hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm experts.
"For the ancestor's ascension! Six yuan it is!"
As he spoke, the sect leader stuffed six Chaos Crystals into Ling Yun's hands.
Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction and smiled:
"I don't care about Chaos Crystals or anything like that, I just think the Sect Master is great!"
Upon hearing this, the sect leader's lips twitched violently.
