Chi Li quickly bowed and humbly replied, "Ancestor, you flatter me. I was just lucky to meet this young friend by chance."
Then, the old man who had spoken first turned to look at Yuan Zhexian and continued, "Young friend, our You Clan has a favor to ask of you."
"If you can accomplish this, young friend, you will be the benefactor of my You clan from now on."
"If there are any requests in the future, my You clan will go to any lengths to fulfill them without hesitation."
His tone was sincere and solemn.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian quickly said, "Senior, please feel free to ask for anything. As long as it is within my power, I will certainly not refuse."
Upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, the old man immediately spoke without hesitation: "In the past, our clan's ancestor suffered extremely serious injuries during that forbidden era."
"The injury has even damaged his very core, forcing him into a long and endless slumber."
The old man paused briefly, as if recalling that long-forgotten history, before continuing, "However, just as the Emperor was asleep, he left behind a single sentence."
"It is said that only those who possess genuine source power can repair his damaged foundation and awaken him from his slumber."

"Therefore, we hope that you can use the authentic source power to repair the foundation of the Emperor."

Seeing this, the other ninety-odd people present also bowed slightly to Yuan Zhexian without prior arrangement, even the usually arrogant Chi Li was no exception.
Upon seeing everyone's behavior, Yuan Zhexian quickly said, "Seniors, there's no need for such formalities."
"Since you seniors have made a request, I will do my utmost to repair the foundation of the You Clan's ancestor."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces lit up with joyful smiles, as if they saw the hope of Emperor Shizu's awakening.
Then, the leading elder decisively waved his arm, and a powerful force instantly enveloped Yuan Zhexian's body.
Yuan Zhexian felt as if his body had completely lost control, and he floated up involuntarily, as if he were being lifted up by an invisible hand.
Immediately afterwards, his body seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, flying straight toward the huge, golden pillar.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Zhexian landed steadily on top of the pillar.
