Just then, the Ninth Ancestor stretched out his palm without hesitation and shouted loudly, "Stop!"
"What brings you here, old man? Stop pretending!"
Seeing this, Indra quickly put on a smiling face and explained, "My two old friends, please don't be angry. I only came here to visit you, and I have no other intentions."
However, his words clearly failed to convince the Eighth Patriarch.
The Eighth Patriarch looked at Indra with suspicion, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't try to fool us! How could an old fox like you be so kind?"
"Tell the truth! What are you up to this time? Who do you want from us?"
Faced with their questions, Di Shitian chuckled first, then slowly uttered four words: "The Divine Son of the Yuan Clan!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Eighth Ancestor's eyes widened, his face contorted with rage, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Absolutely impossible! Don't even think about making a move on the banished immortal!"
The Ninth Ancestor, standing nearby, was equally enraged, his face flushed red, his chest heaving as he angrily accused, "The Immortal is our clan's precious jewel! How dare you covet him!"
"Aren't you afraid that my brothers will find out about this and come to beat you up? Have you gone mad?"
Upon hearing this, Di Shitian showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he continued calmly, "Do you know that the seal of the Ancestor of Humanity has now failed, and those ferocious beasts and myriad races have reappeared in the world?"
Originally, it was thought that this news would shock the two of them, but to Di Shitian's surprise, they did not show the slightest surprise on their faces after hearing it.
After all, for the Yuan Clan, whose foundation is terrifyingly deep, the mere ferocious beasts and myriad races are nothing to fear.
Seeing that the two people in front of him had no change in expression, as if they already knew what they had heard, Di Shitian was not surprised, because he had already guessed it in his heart.
It should be known that the Yuan Clan has always been an incredibly mysterious and unfathomable existence. Even the Ancestor of Humanity once frankly stated, "The Yuan Clan is far beyond what the Celestial Clan can compare to."
"This race probably already has individuals equal to the Heavenly Dao, and they are certainly no match for us in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
Immediately afterward, Di Shitian stared intently ahead and continued, "You all probably think I know nothing about the Yuan Clan's Divine Child, right? But that's not true at all!"
“In fact, I know very well that the Yuan Clan’s divine son is a rebel against fate, and he has already successfully obtained the Immortal-Breaking Pearl.”
"In this way, the causal force of the myriad races of ferocious beasts will inevitably have to be borne by this Yuan Clan divine son alone."
However, at that moment, the words spoken by Indra caused the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors present to show expressions of astonishment.
It should be known that apart from the people of their ancestral land, no one else should know about Yuan Zhexian being a rebel against fate.
So at this moment, they were filled with doubt and confusion, and they really couldn't figure out how Indra knew about this.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Emperor Shitian immediately explained without hesitation: "Back then, the Ancestor of Humanity entrusted me with the responsibility of guarding this land of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"Not only that, the Ancestor also generously bestowed upon me three drops of the extremely precious Ancestor's essence blood, as well as this mark containing endless mysterious power."
As he spoke, Indra slowly extended his right hand, and a golden mark emitting a faint golden light appeared in his palm.
Although the light seemed faint, it gave people a sense of solemnity and grandeur, as if it contained infinite mysteries waiting for people to explore.
He paused briefly, then said slowly, "The Ancestor once left behind this proverb: when a rebel is born into the world, this mysterious mark will instantly reveal the rebel's appearance."
"That is why I am able to know with absolute certainty that the one who defied fate was the divine son of the Yuan clan!"
However, the two people in front of them remained silent in the face of these words, as if they were deep in thought.
Seeing this, Indra frowned slightly and explained again, "I presume that you two are also familiar with the situation in that place."
"If our human race were to wage an earth-shattering war against that ferocious beast race at this very moment, causing the entire human race to suffer heavy losses, then when that crucial moment arrives, that place will inevitably destroy the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
Just then, the Eighth Patriarch, who had remained silent until now, finally broke the silence. He looked at Emperor Shitian with a solemn gaze and slowly asked, "Since that's the case, what exactly are you planning to do now, you old thing?"
"Why are you so determined to find the banished immortal? You should know that with his current strength, he is far too weak."
Upon hearing this, Indra's face revealed an unprecedented seriousness and earnestness. He solemnly replied, "I hope to see this divine son of the Yuan Clan in person."
"There are some things that need to be explained to him in person. Let's see how he responds."
"After all, since he has taken on this cause and effect, he should bear the corresponding consequences."
The Eighth and Ninth Patriarchs exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement.
The Eighth Patriarch said loudly, "Very well, since that's the case, fellow Daoist, please come with us to the Divine Palace."
Before the words were finished, three figures sped out like lightning and disappeared in the blink of an eye at the gate of the Yuan Clan.
The next moment, when their figures reappeared, they were already inside the magnificent palace of the goddess's palace.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Goddess's Palace, the atmosphere was solemn yet tinged with joy.
Yuan Haoran, Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, and other powerful figures have successfully overcome the Saint Tribulation.
Just then, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the originally bustling hall, and then three figures appeared abruptly in front of everyone like ghosts.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian and everyone present quickly rose, cupped their hands in greeting, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor!"
However, their attention was soon drawn to the unfamiliar old man standing beside their two ancestors.
The man was dressed in a white robe, his posture was as upright as a pine tree, his face was cold and stern but not without dignity, and he exuded a powerful aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Yuan Zhexian stared at the mysterious man, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
But as he carefully observed the other person's appearance and demeanor...
Suddenly, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Zhexian finally couldn't help but ask, "Could you be... Senior Di Shitian, who ranks ninth on the Eternal Ranking?"
Upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, Di Shitian smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said slowly, "Indeed, it is I."
"I never expected that the little fellow who was only at the Cave Heaven Realm back then would have reached the Saint Realm in just a few decades, and did so before he was even a hundred years old."
Such talent and aptitude are truly terrifying, unparalleled throughout history!
