Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian's expression instantly turned solemn. He stared straight at the man, remaining silent.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing that Yuan Zhexian did not answer, the man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He thought to himself, "This little guy is quite cautious."
However, he was not angry about this, and instead continued, "Don't worry, we mean you no harm."
After a slight pause, the man continued, "The reason I asked you this is because I myself am actually a member of the Yuan clan."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian's surprise deepened.
He never expected that before arriving in this strange space, he had specifically asked the Ninth Ancestor to confirm that there were absolutely no Yuan Clan members here.
But now, the man in front of him claimed to be a member of the Yuan clan, which he found hard to believe.
Upon hearing the man say that he was a member of the Yuan clan, he couldn't help but feel a surge of astonishment.
However, when he also sensed the power of the Yuan clan's bloodline in this man, Yuan Zhexian calmed down and said, "Senior, we are indeed people of the Yuan clan."
Then, he introduced himself: "My name is Yuan Zhexian."
After saying that, he waved his hand and pointed to Yuan Wuluo, Yuan Haoran and Yuan Ruochu beside him, and introduced them one by one: "This is Yuan Wuluo, this is Yuan Haoran and this is Yuan Ruochu."
After the introductions were finished, Yuan Zhexian's gaze returned to the man, and she immediately asked, "May I ask which ancestor of your clan you are, senior?"
The man did not answer Yuan Zhexian's question immediately; he seemed somewhat agitated, his lips trembling slightly.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I never expected that I would have the chance to see my Yuan clan's descendants again."
After calming himself down a bit, the man then asked, "So, is the current Yuan Clan leader still Yuan Xingdao?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian replied without hesitation, "That's right. The current leader of the Yuan clan is Yuan Xingdao, who is also my Heavenly Ancestor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, not only the man but also the woman beside him began to tremble.
Then the man's gaze, like two blazing flames, fixed intently on Yuan Zhexian, and asked again to confirm, "You said that Yuan Zhu is your Heavenly Ancestor?"
Yuan Zhexian nodded without hesitation. Then, the man's face lit up with excitement and anticipation, like a torch being lit, and he asked again, "So, Yuan Xun, is that you?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian replied, "He was my great-grandfather."
At this moment, the man's gaze suddenly became vacant, as if his soul had been ripped out, while the woman's body trembled even more violently.
Tears, as clear as pearls, instantly welled up in her eyes.
Then, the woman's gaze, sharp as a sword, fixed on Yuan Zhexian, and she said, "Child, I am your great-grandmother—Gu Ling!"
Then, the man's expression returned to normal, no longer blank and dazed.
He then gripped Yuan Zhexian's shoulders tightly with both hands like iron clamps, his voice trembling with excitement: "Child, I am your great-grandfather—Yuan Qingxu!"
These words were like a thunderclap in Yuan Zhexian's ears. This time, his body trembled violently, and his heart was filled with shock and horror.
He knew very well that his great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother had accidentally fallen into a cosmic time-space hole.
However, to his utter surprise, they ended up falling into this strange space.
Then, as if waking from a dream, Yuan Zhexian immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Yuan Qingxu and Gu Ling, saying respectfully, "Zhexian greets his great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Immediately, the others followed suit, bowing and saying in unison, "Greetings, Senior Qingxu, Senior Guling."
Upon seeing this, Yuan Qingxu and Gu Ling quickly used their immortal powers to help everyone up one by one.
After everyone stood up, Yuan Qingxu looked at Yuan Zhexian with a puzzled expression and asked, "Zhexian, how did you all end up here?"
Yuan Zhexian dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly told them everything about the Heavenly Ranking.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingxu suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, the sound deafening.
"Haha! Good! Good! Great!"
"I never expected that my descendants would possess three unparalleled imperial bodies."
"Moreover, it can suppress those three celestial bodies so easily."
Then Yuan Zhexian told Yuan Qingxu and Gu Ling in detail about the recent situation of the Yuan clan.
When they heard that Yuan Xun had successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm and had several descendants with imperial bodies, both of them showed expressions of disbelief, their excitement overflowing.
After Yuan Qingxu calmed down, he immediately began to tell Yuan Zhexian and the others about their understanding of this strange space.
It turns out that the malevolent energy in this strange space is not ordinary malevolent energy, but rather a condensation of the resentment of countless powerful beings such as fallen Immortal Emperors, Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and Immortal Kings.
This malevolent energy possesses a very strange ability: it can not only devour the power of immortals, but also destroy a person's sanity.
In this place devoid of divine power, once the divine power is exhausted, it becomes unable to resist the erosion of malevolent energy.
Moreover, when a person is invaded by evil energy, their eyes will turn bloodshot, their whole body will emanate endless evil energy, and their mind will become like that of a madman.
Even more terrifying is that if one has not absorbed the power of immortal spirits by this time, the person corrupted by the evil energy will explode and die, and even a quasi-immortal emperor cannot escape it.
The only way to stop the loss of immortal power is to restore the original source of treasures such as immortal artifacts, immortal medicines, and immortal pills.
Transform them into the purest celestial power and integrate them into your body.
Therefore, in this space, those treasures that can be transformed into immortal spiritual power are undoubtedly a fatal temptation for the people here.
People will stop at nothing to survive, which is why the people here are so crazy.
In this place, people are divided into two categories.
One type of person has exhausted their magical artifacts, elixirs, and pills, and their bodies are invaded by malevolent energy. In order to prolong their lives, they can only survive by absorbing the blood, flesh, and essence of others. These people are called Blood Demons.
Another type of person possesses a large number of immortal artifacts, immortal medicines, and immortal pills, which can be transformed into immortal spiritual power. They are surrounded by a rich immortal spiritual power and have not yet been corrupted by evil energy. These people are called Spiritual Beings.
The conflict between the Blood Demon and the Spirit Master is becoming increasingly acute, with both sides wanting to eliminate the other.
Thus, a Blood Alliance founded by a Blood Demon and a Spirit Alliance founded by a Spirit Master were born.
These two forces have been constantly vying for dominance and fighting against each other for countless immortal eras.
