The Ninth Ancestor seemed unconcerned about the reactions of the crowd. He continued, "Back then, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, we recognized the talents and aptitudes of four individuals: Qizhen, Zhetian, Hundun, and Liudao."
"All four of them have enormous potential and unlimited future prospects."
At this point, the Ninth Ancestor paused slightly before continuing, "Therefore, after the four of them successfully ascended, the Tenth Ancestor and I did not hesitate to recruit them into the Dao Palace and the Celestial Court."
"Then we spent countless years and hours nurturing them."
"The goal is to enable them to inherit the positions of Palace Master, Deputy Palace Master, and Immortal Master of the Dao Palace."
"The purpose of doing this is, firstly, to ensure that after our clan seals off the realm, the Dao Palace and the Immortal Court can contend with the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Palace and the Innate Palace, thereby maintaining the balance of order in the Immortal Realm."
"Secondly, it was to make those behind the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Palace and the Innate Palace believe that after that earth-shattering battle, our clan's ancestors were seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, which led our clan to choose to live in seclusion and close off the realm."
"In fact, all of this was part of a meticulous plan by several ancestors who were preparing to implement their next plan."
The Ninth Ancestor paused briefly, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present, before speaking: "As for the specifics of this plan, and who the person behind them is, you will naturally find out the answers to these questions in the future."
At this point, the Ninth Ancestor's tone became slightly more serious: "As for that great battle, I can only tell you that it was a world-destroying war belonging to the forbidden era."
As soon as he finished speaking, the quasi-Immortal Emperor level experts all showed expressions of sudden realization. They had clearly understood the profound meaning behind his words, so no one dared to ask any further questions.
However, among the younger generation, apart from Yuan Zhexian, the other geniuses and prodigies were all filled with doubt.
After all, with their current strength and knowledge, they are far from being able to reach this level of understanding, so it is understandable that they are puzzled by it.
Even Yuan Zhexian had asked Yuan Xingdao about the matter many times back then, but Yuan Xingdao always kept his mouth shut, as if he was afraid of touching some unspeakable taboo.
Yuan Zhexian had no choice but to relentlessly pester the Ninth Ancestor.
The Ninth Ancestor, unable to bear his persistent nagging any longer, reluctantly told him one sentence: "The so-called forbidden era is actually about the origin era, which is beyond words and beyond comprehension."
"It should never be mentioned lightly unless one is an unparalleled expert at the Supreme Realm, otherwise one will suffer unimaginable karmic consequences."
Only then did Yuan Zhexian realize that since he ascended to the Immortal Realm, the things he had heard most about were the events of the era of the Emperor's Fall.
Surprisingly, no one was willing to mention the Origin Era, which preceded the Age of the Fallen Emperors.
The reason for this probably lies in the terrifying power of cause and effect.
Immediately afterwards, the Ninth Ancestor turned his gaze to the Qilin Lord and slowly said, "As for the Qilin Clan, they have already submitted to my Yuan Clan and become a force under my Yuan Clan."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood why the Qilin Lord had appeared here. Seeing this, the Qilin Lord quickly bowed to the Ninth Ancestor and said, "Senior Shengyuan, our clan's two ancestors specifically said something to us before we came here."
"We all prosper together, and we all suffer together!"
The Ninth Patriarch responded without hesitation: "Both of you fellow Daoists understand the greater good."
"You will never regret the decision you made."
Upon hearing this, the Qilin Master nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, the Ninth Ancestor continued, "Regarding the Epoch War..."
After a brief pause, the Ninth Ancestor continued, "As for those quasi-Immortal Emperors, let Xingdao and Qingxu handle them."
His gaze slowly swept over the Ancestor of Humanity, Ye Zhetian, the Qilin Lord, Xing Jinghan, the Chaos Emperor, and the Six Paths Heavenly Emperor, and he spoke solemnly.
"And the powerful figures of the eight original clans are now in your hands."
Seeing that the Nine Ancestors had already made a decisive decision, the Human Ancestor, Ye Zhetian, and Qilin Master bowed and agreed without hesitation.
Then the Ninth Ancestor turned to look at Yuan Qianmo and the group of Yuan Clan elders, and said slowly, "The remaining Immortal King Realm experts are in your hands, along with Feng Hua and Wan Huang."
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elders of the Yuan Clan all bowed and accepted the order.
Finally, the Ninth Ancestor's gaze fell on Yuan Wuluo, Yuan Haoran, Yuan Ruochu, and the others, and he said earnestly, "It's time for you all to be tempered."
The Ninth Ancestor then instructed, "These quasi-immortal king realm experts will be killed by the Immortal and the elders of our clan who are also quasi-immortal kings."
"As for the Golden Immortal realm experts from their various forces, you are responsible for killing them."
The Ninth Ancestor's voice echoed in the council hall. His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Elder Xue.
"Xue Wu, the safety of these little ones is entrusted to you. You only need to keep them safe in secret."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wu quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, Elder Immortal Master, I will certainly not allow them to suffer any losses."
His tone was firm.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded in satisfaction, then looked around and continued, "The tactics have been decided, so everyone should go and make preparations."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone disappeared from the Yuan Clan's council hall, leaving only the Ninth Ancestor and the Tenth Ancestor.
At this moment, the Tenth Ancestor, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "The First Ancestor and that Netherworld Clan member are still recovering, and the situation is urgent."
His voice was slightly low, revealing a hint of worry.
