Yuan Zhexian finally met the legendary ancestor of the You Clan.
He looked closely and saw a middle-aged man sitting there quietly with his eyes closed and legs crossed, like a statue.
His body emitted no aura whatsoever, like someone who had already perished.
However, Yuan Zhexian's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface; rather, it was churning like a raging storm.
Although the man appeared to be completely lifeless, Yuan Zhexian could clearly sense that this ancestor of the You Clan seemed to be one with the entire world, or even closely connected with the entire universe.
He is like a part of heaven and earth, and seems to be the source of all things.
Yuan Zhexian inwardly marveled, "The mere absence of any aura is enough to give me such a powerful sensation; this person must be an extremely terrifying being!"
However, he did not dwell too much on the shock and quickly regained his senses.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his hands and continuously poured the powerful Dao energy within him into the body of the Netherworld Ancestor.
As the power of the Great Dao of the Primordial Immortal was injected, the originally lifeless body of the Netherworld Ancestor began to slowly shimmer with a faint golden light.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhexian dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly increased the intensity of the infusion of the power of the Great Dao.
Sure enough, with his efforts, the golden light on the body of the Netherworld Ancestor became more and more dazzling and intense, as if it were about to break through the darkness and regain its vitality.
In that instant, the middle-aged man's body was suddenly enveloped by a huge figure.
This figure was identical to the ancestor of the Netherworld Clan, piercing the sky and standing proudly above the entire Netherworld Land.
His presence was so awe-inspiring that almost everyone in the Nine Netherworlds could witness it.
At this very moment, upon seeing the figure of the Netherworld Ancestor, all the people of the entire Netherworld Land knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed repeatedly in respect.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if driven by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, the eyes of the Netherworld Ancestor slowly opened, and an endless, terrifying aura surged forth from his body like a raging wave.
This aura was like the master of the universe, and also like the master of all things; its terrifying power was astonishing.
The terrifying sense of oppression felt as if the weight of the entire universe was pressing down on Yuan Zhexian, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
Yuan Zhexian used all his strength to resist the immense pressure, but his body still trembled involuntarily, and beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
However, just when Yuan Zhexian was about to give up, the ancestor of the You Clan suddenly withdrew that terrifying aura and revealed a faint smile.
His voice seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space, clearly reaching Yuan Zhexian's ears: "Boy, not bad. In just ten thousand years, you have actually been able to withstand such a weak aura that I released."
Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhexian was startled, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He blurted out, "Not seen for only ten thousand years?"
This time span was too short for him to have any recollection of the person in front of him.
Filled with doubt, Yuan Zhexian asked, "Senior, do we know each other?"
His voice revealed a hint of confusion and wariness.
Just then, a golden light flashed across the body of the Netherworld Ancestor, and his appearance changed accordingly.
In the blink of an eye, a short, plain-looking old man with a slightly sleazy appearance appeared before Yuan Zhexian.
Yuan Zhexian looked closely and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, it's you!"
It turned out that it was the mysterious old man he had met in the cultivation world, the one who had given him great help.
At this moment, everyone in the land of the ancestor saw the ancestor awaken, and they all stood up, bowed and clasped their hands, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations on the awakening of the ancestor! May the You Clan live forever, and may the ancestor's glory illuminate the universe."
However, the ancestor of the You Clan ignored everyone's congratulations. His gaze fell directly on Yuan Zhexian, and he said with a smile, "Senior?"
"Boy! You should address me as Master."
These words struck Yuan Zhexian like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and everyone present in shock.
The four people standing on the yellow pillar were especially shocked.
They had an extremely clear understanding of their ancestor, and knew very well what kind of person he was.
Throughout the entire universe, countless geniuses and prodigies have failed to catch his eye.
Now, he has actually taken on a disciple, which is simply unbelievable to them.
Yuan Zhexian was also in a state of turmoil. He couldn't help but recall what the Ninth Ancestor and the others had said: that the mysterious old man was his master.
However, he never expected that his master was actually the ancestor of the You Clan and the creator of the You Clan!
Seeing Yuan Zhexian's reaction, the patriarch of the You Clan was immediately displeased. He snorted coldly and said, "What, brat? Am I not worthy to be your master?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was suddenly at a loss for words.
He never expected that the ancestor of the You Clan would express his dissatisfaction so directly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
After a long while, he stammered out, "Master...Master."
Upon hearing this address, the displeasure on the face of the You Clan's ancestor vanished instantly, replaced by a satisfied smile.
He looked at Yuan Zhexian, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, before reverting to his middle-aged appearance.
Then he turned around, looked at Yuan Zhexian with a smile, and said slowly, "Zhexian, this is my true face."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian asked with a look of suspicion, "Master, what exactly is going on? I really don't understand."
Upon seeing this, the Ancestor of the You Clan quickly explained, "Immortal, your cultivation is still shallow, and there are some things that you cannot know at this time."
"When you become strong enough in the future, you will naturally understand the reason."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian grew increasingly dissatisfied and muttered, "Master, how come you're just like the Ninth Ancestor and the others? Every time I ask you questions, the answers I get are so vague."
The patriarch of the You Clan smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Yuan Zhexian's reaction. He continued, "That little fellow, Yuan Shengyuan..."
When Yuan Zhexian heard his master refer to the Ninth Ancestor as "little fellow," he was startled.
He thought to himself, "Master actually addresses the Ninth Ancestor in such a way. It seems that Master's identity is far more than just the ancestor of the You Clan."
Just then, the Ancestor of the You Clan continued, "However, there is something I can tell you."
