Yuan Haoran had just woken up and had not yet adapted to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but with the blessing of the top-grade divine source stone coffin, he would be able to adapt in just a few hours.
Yuan Haoran's cultivation level was previously at the Quasi-Saint realm, only one step away from the Saint realm. Therefore, he planned to challenge Yuan Zhexian to a duel once he adapted to the spiritual energy of this world. His goal was to defeat Yuan Zhexian and reclaim his position as the Divine Child of the Yuan Clan.
Then he asked, "Where is your divine child right now?"
"The Divine Child is currently in the Divine Origin Secret Realm, but I don't know his exact location. However, many disciples from various factions within the Divine Origin Secret Realm are targeting our Yuan Clan," Yuan Ruochu then said.
"Oh, which forces are involved?" Yuan Haoran narrowed his eyes slightly before asking.
"Ancient Demon Court, True Dragon Clan, Golden-Winged Roc Clan, Heavenly Azure Clan, Profound Gate, Divine Profound Holy Land, etc."
"They're all old rival forces. As for this Ancient Demon Court, I've never heard of it?" Yuan Haoran knew all the others except for this one.
"I don't know the specific reason either. As far as I know, the one who has emerged from the Ancient Demon Court this time is the Ancient Demon Lord, a descendant of the legendary Demon Ancestor."
"Is that the First Ancestor of the Demon Race?" Yuan Haoran asked.
"Yes, that's him."
“Very well, back then, the Human Ancestor with the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo was able to kill the Demon Ancestor, and now my Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo can still kill the descendant of this Demon Ancestor.” Yuan Haoran said with imposing aura.
“But right now, I need to adapt to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as quickly as possible, so I’ll meditate here for a bit. You wait for me upstairs.” Yuan Haoran finished speaking and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate without waiting for Yuan Ruochu’s reply.
At this moment, Yuan Ruochu was using her spiritual power to resist the water pressure at the bottom of the water, and her spiritual power had been consumed by one-third. Then she headed towards the location of the nine sequences.
At this moment, there were still more than a dozen forbidden prodigies in the nine sequences waiting for Yuan Ruochu in their previous positions.
At this moment, one of the forbidden prodigies said, "The first-ranked members of the Yuan Clan have not yet come up after so long. Could it be that they have perished down there?"
Upon hearing this, all nine major sequences of the Yuan Clan cast sharp glances at them.
"Am I wrong? They haven't returned for so long. If they had any gains, they would have come up already. The fact that they haven't returned yet suggests that things are likely to turn out badly." The forbidden prodigy continued.
At this moment, Yuan Changkong spoke up: "If you utter another word of nonsense, I will make you perish right here."
Seeing Yuan Changkong's extraordinary strength, the forbidden prodigy dared not say anything more. The forbidden peerless one, however, couldn't stand it and immediately said, "Yuan Clan's second rank, stop spreading alarmist rumors. Yuan Ruochu isn't here right now. Others may fear you, but I don't."
At this moment, the aura of the Yuan Changqi surged, and the powerful Xuanhuang Qi faintly isolated the surrounding water pressure.
"What? You want to make a move?" As he spoke, the peerless expert from the reclusive family immediately unleashed his own aura.
Just as the two were about to start fighting, Yuan Ruochu's figure appeared from underwater and was moving quickly toward them.
The nine major ranks of the Yuan Clan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yuan Ruochu return. However, the reclusive, peerless expert from the hidden family showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes upon her return.
After Yuan Ruochu returned to their position, Yuan Changkong asked, "Ruochu, why did it take so long? What's down there?"
Yuan Ruochu revealed a mysterious expression and said, "Guess what I encountered down there."
"A peerless treasure? Or a peerless weapon? Or perhaps a peerless martial arts technique?" Everyone offered their guesses.
"None of them are correct," Yuan Ruochu said, shaking her head.
"What is that?" the nine sequences asked curiously.
"I've discovered the location of our clan's ancient freak, and I've already awakened it. It's currently meditating down here, adapting to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth," Yuan Ruochu said, looking at everyone.
"What?"
Not only the nine sequences, but also the surrounding people were shocked. Yuan Ruochu was already difficult to deal with, but now there was another ancient Yuan clan monster. Wouldn't that be even more difficult to deal with?
The reclusive family's peerless master had already allied with Wang Teng and Gu Longzi. Their plan was to eliminate the Yuan clan members within this Divine Source Secret Realm. That's why this peerless master claimed insufficient strength to proceed, and upon Yuan Ruochu's arrival, instructed her to descend into the water to assess the situation. He expected the water pressure to crush Yuan Ruochu, but unexpectedly, she withstood it.
Then, the forbidden peerless being gave a wink to the forbidden demon behind him, who immediately took out a communication stone and sent a message while everyone was off guard.
Yuan Ruochu said to the nine great sequences again, "Staying here will only waste our spiritual energy. Let's go to the shore first." With that, she and the nine great sequences moved towards the shore, and the dozen or so prodigies behind them also followed Yuan Ruochu and her group towards the shore.
Meanwhile, the crowd on the lake continued to wait, hoping someone would come up. A moment later, several figures shot into the sky from the lake, followed by more than a dozen others.
"Look! The people who just went down are all back."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked towards Yuan Ruochu and the others. However, due to Yuan Ruochu's terrifying strength, they did not dare to approach and inquire about the situation underwater.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Oh, you're up here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Yuan Ruochu felt as if a similar scene was unfolding before her. She turned her head to look.
"It's you again, Wang Teng."
That voice belonged to Wang Teng, the reclusive master of the hidden family. After hearing Yuan Ruochu's words, he immediately sent a message to Wang Teng, who was nearby.
Wang Teng was also the one who had just awakened the ancient freak Wang Mo of the Wang family. Wang Mo was the divine son of the Wang family in ancient times. Due to his extraordinary talent and the secret techniques inherited from the supreme Heart Demon Emperor, he was invincible in his era. Later, because he was not suitable for attaining enlightenment and the Divine Source Secret Realm opened, he ultimately chose to fall into slumber.
Just as Wang Teng awakened Wang Mo, he received a message from a forbidden, peerless figure from a reclusive family. Upon hearing this, he was shocked. The ancient freak of the Yuan clan had awakened, which meant it must be a powerful figure. To prevent the Yuan clan's forces from growing stronger, he and Wang Mo rushed over. He then used a communication stone to notify his allies to jointly besiege and kill the Yuan clan's first-ranked members and the ancient freak.
"You really have forgotten the pain once the wound has healed. Have you forgotten what happened back in the Valley of Secrets? You surrounded and attacked me as soon as I came up, and what happened in the end? You died a horrible death." Yuan Ruochu immediately retorted sarcastically.
“But things are different now than in the canyon secret realm. Back then, I was exhausted of spiritual energy and severely injured. Now, I can kill you with ease,” Yuan Ruochu continued.
Hearing Yuan Ruochu's sarcastic words, Wang Teng, unlike his previous furious outburst, calmly said, "You're stubborn as a mule. Today is the day your Yuan clan's first order and that ancient freak will fall."
