At this moment, the sixth ancestor of the Ji family, who was protecting the Ji family in this life, said, "How about I wake up the third ancestor and let him glimpse the secrets of the future before drawing a conclusion?"
While the third ancestor of the Ji family may not have been as powerful as the other ancestors, his mastery of celestial secrets was among the best in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. In his youth, the third ancestor had accidentally obtained a portion of the Celestial Secrets of the Celestial Emperor and had cultivated for countless epochs to achieve his current level of mastery.
"Alright! Let's leave it at that." Those present had no other choice but to let the Three Ancestors observe for now.
As he spoke, the Sixth Ancestor of the Ji family disappeared from his spot and headed to the Ji family ancestral land to awaken the Third Ancestor, who was still asleep. Soon after, the Third Ancestor, who was still sleeping in the Divine Source Jade Coffin, also awoke. The Sixth Ancestor explained the situation to him, and then the Sixth Ancestor led him to the main hall of the Ji family. Upon seeing the Third Ancestor's arrival, the Ji family members bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Ancestor."
"The situation is urgent, no need for formalities," the third ancestor of the Ji family waved his hand and said. He then walked out of the main hall to the open square outside, followed closely by the others. In the center of the square, the third ancestor of the Ji family exuded the aura of a quasi-emperor, and a white halo appeared beneath his feet, covered with mysterious symbols, making it unfathomable. Then it shot straight into the sky, and the sky above the Ji family instantly darkened, with a huge black cloud appearing. Then, the third ancestor of the Ji family's eyes turned white and emitted a white light. He looked up at the huge black cloud, and a white beam of light shot out.
After the light shone on the huge dark cloud, the cloud immediately dispersed, revealing a scene that could only be seen by the three ancestors of the Ji family who were using the Heavenly Secrets Technique.
A figure appeared on the screen, dressed in white robes, with white hair, holding a peerless divine sword in his right hand, and a divine bell floating in his left palm. He stood with his back to all living beings, facing the heavens. The aura emanating from this single image terrified the three ancestors of the Ji family, causing them to tremble uncontrollably, as if they were mere ants. They gritted their teeth to steady their trembling bodies, trying to see the person's face clearly. However, the closer the image got, the greater the backlash the three ancestors suffered. Blood began to flow from the seven orifices of their faces, yet they continued to use their heavenly power, trying to make out the person's face.
Almost there, just a little bit more. Just as they were about to see the man's face clearly... *Pfft*... A mouthful of blood spurted out. The Third Ancestor of the Ji family could no longer hold on. The immense backlash made him unsteady and he fell backward. The Sixth Ancestor of the Ji family reacted quickly, swiftly stepping forward to support him. The Third Ancestor's once middle-aged face was now much older, pale, and listless. He weakly said to the Sixth Ancestor, "Yuan... Yuan..." Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.
At this moment, the sixth ancestor of the Ji family was also puzzled as to what kind of scene could cause the third ancestor to suffer such a huge backlash, with his life force rapidly draining away, and he might even perish because of it.
The sixth ancestor of the Ji family was very familiar with the Heavenly Secrets Techniques of the third ancestor of the Ji family. During several great calamities and periods of dark turmoil, the third ancestor of the Ji family had relied on these techniques to avert disaster for the Ji family. Now, the third ancestor of the Ji family had once again used these techniques and suffered such a backlash. This could only mean one thing: an irreversible situation was about to occur in the future, or a person who defied the heavens would appear.
Yuan? Could it be the divine son of the Yuan clan?
He then realized what was happening and said to Ji Tianming, "Tianming, take Jingtian to the Yuan Clan immediately. However, he can't remain a servant forever. See if you can discuss with the Yuan Clan's divine son about giving him a timeframe, since Jingtian is the future head of the Ji family. Also, tell the Yuan Clan's divine son that our clan is willing to submit forever and never betray us."
When the Sixth Ancestor of the Ji family finished speaking, everyone in the Ji family was incredulous. They were about to ask why, but before they could utter a word, the Sixth Ancestor retorted, "Shut up! This is a decision made by the ancestral land. Anyone who questions it will be expelled from the Ji family." Without waiting for a response, he took the unconscious Third Ancestor and headed towards the ancestral land.
Subsequently, Ji Tianming brought Ji Jingtian to the Yuan Clan without hesitation.
Yuan Zhexian stood atop the main hall of the Divine Palace, watching Ji Tianming, Ji Jingtian, and his father arrive. He then smiled slightly, knowing that the Ji family had already compromised.
Ji Tianming then said to Yuan Zhexian, "Zhexian Divine Son, we have decided to make Ji Jingtian your servant, but may I discuss something with you?"
"Oh... Patriarch Ji, please speak."
“Jing Tian is, after all, the future head of the Ji family. Therefore, I request that the Immortal God grant Jing Tian a time limit. In return, my Ji family will forever submit to your Yuan clan and never betray you.”
Yuan Changsheng was slightly startled upon hearing this. He knew that the Mythical Ji family was undoubtedly one of the most powerful families in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Such a family had always been proud and arrogant, and would never allow itself to submit to anyone. He never expected that they would bring up such a matter today for Ji Jingtian's sake.
Then Yuan Changsheng said, "Ji Tianming, your Ji family is, after all, a mythical family. Several eras ago, your first and second ancestors were friends with our ancestor. It might be inappropriate for you to submit to my Yuan clan. Submission is fine. But my Yuan clan is willing to form an alliance with you. What do you think?"
Hearing Yuan Changsheng's words, Ji Tianming couldn't believe it. The submission of the Mythical Clan meant far more than just one plus one equals two; it was definitely greater than two. Yuan Changsheng had actually refused. Without hesitation, Ji Tianming agreed.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ji Tianming said to Yuan Changsheng with resentment, "Yuan Changsheng, I've lived in your shadow for tens of thousands of years. I thought that with Jing Tian's talent and genius, I could escape this shadow. I never expected that in the end..."
Seeing Ji Tianming's stubbornness, Yuan Changsheng tried to reason with him, saying, "You've lived for tens of thousands of years, don't you understand the current situation? We are a thing of the past; now it's the world of these young people. If you keep dwelling on the past and don't see the current situation clearly, then this golden age will end when they are born, and your Ji family will also vanish into nothingness."
