And the one standing here is the Yuan Clan Goddess from the Immortal Ancient Era of my Yuan Clan. She not only bears the title of Goddess, but is also the only person in my Yuan Clan to date to possess such a noble title.
Her name is Yuan Honglian, and she has now reached the supreme realm of a fourth-order mythical emperor!
Yuan Zhexian knew that the two men were incredibly powerful, but he never expected them to be so terrifyingly strong.
At this moment, he felt increasingly mysterious and unpredictable about the Yuan clan to which he belonged, and he could no longer understand them.
The Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan slowly spoke: "Immortal, I know you must be full of doubts right now, why am I, who should be at the Quasi-Emperor level, actually a Great Emperor level powerhouse?"
Yuan Zhexian remained silent, simply listening attentively.
The Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan continued, "You are the hope of our clan's future. However, there are many matters within the clan that cannot be fully disclosed to you at present. Firstly, because your current cultivation level is indeed very low, and secondly, because we fear that if you knew all the truth, you would bear immense pressure. Therefore, at this stage, we will only let you gradually learn about some clan matters. As your own cultivation level continues to improve in the future, you will slowly learn everything."
At this moment, Yuan Honglian, who was standing to the side, also chimed in softly, "Yes, Divine Child Clan Brother, your cultivation is indeed still shallow at the moment. When the time is ripe and it is time for you to know, you will naturally understand. Back then, my sister and I went through the same thing." Yuan Cangsheng'an continued, taking over the words of the Ninth Ancestor.
Seeing that Yuan Zhexian remained silent, Yuan Cangsheng respectfully turned to face the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors of the Yuan Clan, bowed, and said, "Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, ever since you two elders informed me about the matter of the Divine Child Clan Brother through telepathy, those old fogies in the Imperial Alliance have taken this matter extremely seriously. The primary task of sending my sister and me back to our clan this time is to prevent those clans from secretly harming the Divine Child Clan Brother, and secondly, to do everything in our power to protect him."
Just then, Yuan Honglian, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a cold snort. A chilling look instantly appeared on her beautiful face as she shouted in a delicate voice, "Hmph! If that clan dares to secretly attack my younger brother, the Divine Child, I will not hesitate to kill them in their lair!"
Upon seeing this, the Eighth and Ninth Patriarchs exchanged a smile, their eyes revealing a sense of satisfaction.
The Eighth Ancestor stroked his beard gently and said slowly, "Don't worry, those old guys dote on the banished immortal to the extreme."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed towards the ancestral land. Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw eight huge primitive ice coffins neatly arranged there, emanating wisps of cold air.
Above these ice coffins were three jade coffins made of some mysterious material, emitting a soft glow and giving a solemn and dignified feeling.
Upon hearing what the Eighth Patriarch said, Yuan Cangsheng and Yuan Honglian nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was temporarily over, Yuan Zhexian, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly made a startling statement and said softly, "Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, Clan Brother Cangsheng, Sister, I plan to go into seclusion for a period of time to break through to the Saint Realm."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked astonished. Yuan Cangsheng and Yuan Honglian, in particular, exclaimed in unison, "What!?"
They stared wide-eyed at Yuan Zhexian, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
When Yuan Zhexian uttered these words, it was like a thunderclap, and the four people present instantly showed expressions of extreme astonishment.
Especially the Eighth Patriarch, who stared wide-eyed at Yuan Zhexian in disbelief, and then said decisively, "Zhexian! You are not yet a hundred years old, and I absolutely cannot agree to this!"
Yuan Cangsheng, who was standing to the side, hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, Divine Child Clan Brother! With your current strength, which is capable of slaying Saints, you would be an invincible existence even before you turned a hundred! Why be so eager to achieve success?"
At this moment, Yuan Honglian looked even more worried. She quickly walked up to Yuan Zhexian and earnestly advised, "Brother, listen to your sister's advice. It would be safer to try to break through to the Saint realm after you've lived to be a hundred years old!"
"You must know that forcibly breaking through to the Saint realm before the age of one hundred is a grave offense against Heaven and Earth! Even the supreme Heavenly Dao would never allow it."
"Since the beginning of time, countless geniuses and prodigies have attempted to break this ancient bondage, but without exception, they all met a tragic end, their bodies and souls extinguished. Among these failures, there were even those who cultivated nine sacred energies, forbidden and invincible individuals. Yet even the strongest being since the beginning of time, the Ancestor of Humanity, failed to achieve it!"
Finally, the Ninth Ancestor, who had been silent all along, spoke up. He said to Yuan Zhexian with a solemn expression, "Zhexian, I sincerely hope that you will treat this matter with caution and not take it lightly. After all, breaking through to the Saint Realm before the age of one hundred is no joke!"
Then, he solemnly said again, "You must know that if something were to happen to you, it would be a devastating disaster for our entire Yuan Clan! Such a heavy blow is something our Yuan Clan cannot afford." After saying this, his gaze slowly swept over the worried faces of the people in front of him.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhexian smiled slightly, revealing a reassuring smile, and gently comforted them, "Please rest assured, everyone. If I weren't absolutely certain, why would I take such a risk? I've always been cautious in my actions and would never act rashly."
However, despite Yuan Zhexian's confident assurances, the worries in everyone's hearts did not diminish in the slightest.
They were well aware of the dangers of this mission, but seeing that Yuan Zhexian was determined to go, they could not do anything to stop him. They could only silently hope that everything would go smoothly and that he would be safe and sound, just as he had said.
Just then, Yuan Zhexian suddenly turned around to face the four people behind him, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "The battle of immortals has come to an end. Now I should return to the Divine Palace. Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, Clan Brother Cangsheng and Sister Honglian, I will take my leave first."
After he finished speaking, a great golden light shone from his body, like a dazzling golden sun, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.
Looking in the direction where Yuan Zhexian had left, the Eighth Ancestor frowned slightly, turned to look at Yuan Honglian beside him, and solemnly instructed, "Girl, I still can't put my mind at ease. You must keep a close eye on this little guy at all times. If you find anything wrong, you must act decisively to stop him and never let him fall into danger."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Honglian quickly nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Eighth Ancestor, I will definitely take good care of him." Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a streak of red light and sped off in the direction where Yuan Zhexian had disappeared.
