Looking at Yuan Zhexian's puzzled expression, the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how naive the child was.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "My child, in the near future, the Immortal Realm and even the entire universe will face an unprecedented calamity."
Yuan Zhexian stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment, and asked, "What great calamity?"
The Ninth Ancestor nodded heavily and continued, "This calamity is called the Great Cataclysm. If we cannot stop it, then all living beings in the entire universe will be doomed and wiped out. Not one will be spared."
Yuan Zhexian's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself, "How is this possible..."
The Ninth Ancestor sighed and continued, "Not only that, even our Yuan Clan cannot escape it."
"Moreover, my Yuan clan holds a special position in the Immortal Realm."
"Therefore, in order to save all living beings in the universe, our Yuan race has also paid a huge price."
"Using his supreme supernatural powers to deduce the future, he learned that the only person who could stop this calamity would be born in the immeasurable world that was about to be born in the lower realm."
"The lower realm is a relatively weak world, and its power is far inferior to that of the immortal realm."
"The energy within us is too vast and terrifying; the lower realm simply cannot withstand it."
"If we force our way into the lower realm, then the lower realm will shatter and cease to exist because of our arrival."
Yuan Zhexian suddenly realized why the Ninth Ancestor and the others chose to descend to the mortal realm in the form of clones.
The Ninth Patriarch continued, "Therefore, we ultimately decided to descend to the mortal realm in the form of clones."
"This way, we can avoid causing damage to the lower realm and wholeheartedly plan for your birth."
"As for the tenth brother, he stayed in the Immortal Realm to protect the Yuan Clan."
At that moment, Yuan Zhexian still had some unresolved doubts, so he asked without hesitation, "Why was I the one chosen?"
His voice revealed a hint of confusion and curiosity.
Faced with Yuan Zhexian's question, the Ninth Ancestor smiled slightly and said slowly, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and Man escapes one."
His words seemed to contain some profound meaning, causing Yuan Zhexian to fall into deep thought.
The Ninth Patriarch then explained: “The ‘one’ here represents infinite possibilities and the opportunity for transcendence; it is the person who defies Heaven and defies fate.”
His gaze fell on Yuan Zhexian, as if to tell him that he was the chosen one.
Hearing this, Yuan Zhexian had a general understanding of his situation, but his curiosity was not fully satisfied, so he continued to ask, "Then, what exactly is this so-called calamity?"
The Tenth Patriarch, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled mysteriously before speaking, "The time is not yet ripe. When the time comes, you will naturally know."
His answer left Yuan Zhexian feeling somewhat helpless, but he also understood that some things cannot be rushed.
Finally, the Ninth Ancestor instructed Yuan Zhexian: "Zhexian, your most urgent task now is to seize the time to improve your cultivation and strength."
"Only in this way can you better cope with everything that may come next."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhexian didn't say much, but nodded solemnly to indicate that he understood.
Immediately afterwards, the Ninth Ancestor revealed a secret to Yuan Zhexian: "Actually, when you first arrived in the Immortal Realm, we had already sensed your presence, but we have been hiding in the void and have not shown ourselves."
"The purpose of doing this is to avoid interfering with you and to allow you to gradually adapt to the environment of the immortal realm."
"That's enough for now, let's go home!"
The Ninth Ancestor spoke softly, then waved his arm, and space was instantly torn open, revealing a pitch-black crack that seemed to lead to an endless abyss of darkness.
Just as the Ninth Ancestor was about to lead Yuan Zhexian into the spatial rift, Yuan Zhexian suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Gong, who was still unconscious not far away.
“Ninth Ancestor, wait, bring him along too. He is now my follower.”
Upon hearing this, both the Ninth and Tenth Ancestors looked in the direction Yuan Zhexian was pointing. When they saw Shen Gong, their expressions simultaneously showed a slight look of surprise.
"Oh! A body afflicted by misfortune?"
A hint of surprise was in the voice of the Ninth Ancestor.
"I never expected that you, Immortal, would subdue such a strange physique so soon after arriving in the Immortal Realm."
The Tenth Ancestor then spoke up, saying, "During the era of the Emperor's Fall, there was once a being with the Calamity Body, whose cultivation reached the powerful realm of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."
He paused, then continued, "But because of its unpredictable and strange misfortune, even powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level would be wary of it."
Upon hearing the words of the Ninth and Tenth Ancestors, Yuan Zhexian felt a surge of anticipation.
"This person will definitely be a great help to you in the future."
The words of the Ninth Ancestor came again.
However, Yuan Zhexian still had some worries in his heart.
He turned to look at the Ninth Ancestor and asked hesitantly, "Ninth Ancestor, Tenth Ancestor, if we bring him back to the Yuan Clan, will his misfortune affect the clan?"
Upon hearing this, the Tenth Ancestor smiled and said, "Don't worry, his Calamity Body has no effect on our clan, and with the suppression of your Great Dao Body, there's nothing to worry about."
With that, the Ninth and Tenth Ancestors led Yuan Zhexian and the unconscious Shen Gong into the rift space, setting off for the Yuan Clan.
The Primordial Clan of the Celestial Realm.
Located in the far east of the Central Immortal Realm.
The mysterious Yuan Clan lived in isolation from the world, forming their own realm known as the Yuan Realm.
The Metaverse is like an independent world, surrounded by an invisible barrier that isolates it from the noise and chaos of the outside world.
Within the Yuan Realm, only members of the Yuan Clan are allowed to freely enter and exit.
However, entering this forbidden area is no easy task.
Only those with Yuan Clan bloodlines or those who possess the Yuan Clan boundary seal are qualified to enter this mysterious world.
The moment Yuan Zhexian stepped into the Yuan Realm, a magnificent and colorful painting seemed to unfold before his eyes.
The entire Yuan Realm is a picturesque landscape, with lush forests, vast grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and crystal-clear lakes. The diverse natural scenery complements each other, creating a breathtaking panorama.
Even more astonishing is that the immortal spiritual energy in the primordial realm is exceptionally dense, nearly ten times denser than that in the outer realm.
This rich spiritual energy seems to be a special gift from nature to the Yuan Clan, giving them a unique advantage in cultivation.
The Yuan dynasty's architectural style is unique, consisting of three main parts.
The Yuan dynasty buildings on the ground were magnificent and numerous, resembling countless stars.
Above the buildings on the ground are buildings that float in the void.
These buildings, like castles in the air, give people a sense of mystery and solemnity.
And in the sea of clouds above, a huge palace building was faintly visible.
The palace building is ethereal and seems to be located above the clouds, giving people a sense of unparalleled holiness.
It is like the core of the Yuan Realm, exuding endless majesty and solemnity, filling people with endless respect for every member of the Yuan Clan.
