"This old one, Yuan Cang, and this is Lion King. Greetings, Elder Zhu Li."
After the trio from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was forced back, Yuan Cang and the Lion King quickly approached Zhu Li and Hei Qing, bowing respectfully.
The Abyssal Lion Clan, having long since fallen into decline, was ecstatic to receive assistance from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. This was an unexpected fortune.
"Haha, we’ve crossed paths a few tis in the past. Old acquaintances need not stand on ceremony," said the elder in white robes, Zhu Li, with a warm smile.
Hearing this, Yuan Cang chuckled and nodded.
Both he and Zhu Li were of the sa era, and they had crossed paths nurous tis in their youth. Thus, they were not unfamiliar with one another.
At this mont, the Lion King suddenly asked, "Elder Zhu Li, earlier you ntioned that a expert from my Abyssal Lion Clan once made a promise to your clan. May I ask which ancestor of my clan this might have been?"
Forging ties with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was a blessing for the declining Abyssal Lion Clan.
However, Zhu Li rely smiled, stroking his snow-white beard without answering.
Hei Qing, standing by, bluntly interjected, "That was just an excuse Elder Zhu Li used to fend off the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. There’s no such person in your clan."
Hearing this, the Lion King and Yuan Cang exchanged awkward glances, their expressions tinged with embarrassnt. They quickly forced smiles in response to Zhu Li.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly uncomfortable, a cheerful voice rang out.
"Third Grandpa, Uncle Hei, I’m here!"
Following the voice, Zi Yan and Mo Yu arrived on the scene.
"Haha, little girl, did you enjoy your ti outside?" Zhu Li’s aged face softened into a doting smile as he spoke.
Even the burly and fierce Hei Qing managed to squeeze out a grin.
Seeing this, the Lion King’s face revealed a trace of surprise.
Zhu Li, an elder of the Dragon Emperor’s lineage, was treating this little girl so kindly? Could it be that Zhu Li’s intervention earlier was because of her?
"Hehe, the outside world is indeed far more exciting than the monotonous Ancient Dragon Island," Zi Yan replied with a grin before pointing at Mo Yu beside her. "This is Mo Yu, whom I ntioned before. I t him in the Black-Corner Region."
"Mo Yu greets the two elders," Mo Yu said, clasping his hands in respect.
"Oh... so you’re Mo Yu. I didn’t expect soone from the Lei Clan’s branch to possess your level of talent," Zhu Li said, narrowing his cloudy old eyes as he studied Mo Yu, then smiling warmly.
"Haha, the elder has sharp eyes," Mo Yu replied with a light smile, neither affirming nor denying his Lei Clan background.
"The Lei Clan?"
Hearing this, the Lion King and Yuan Cang glanced at Mo Yu with astonishnt.
As one of the ancient beast clans, the Abyssal Lion Clan was not unfamiliar with the Eight Ancient Clans. They had once been equals in ancient tis.
However, the Lion King hadn’t expected Zi Huo’s previous leader to hail from the Lei Clan, one of the top-ranking among the Eight Ancient Clans.
This revelation made it clear that maintaining good relations with Mo Yu’s group was essential.
"I never expected to encounter such rare individuals today—a Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent, a Woeful Poison Body, and a Primal Lion Body."
After greeting Zi Yan and Mo Yu, Zhu Li turned his attention to She Lao, Zi Huo, and Xiao Yixian, smiling faintly. At the sa ti, he gave Mo Yu another aningful glance.
Gathering a team with three such formidable constitutions, along with Zi Yan, who possessed the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline, demonstrated remarkable charisma.
"Haha, the renown of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan precedes you," Xiao Yixian and the others greeted Zhu Li with clasped hands before She Lao added with a light laugh.
"Sir, as a Ban Sheng, would you be interested in visiting our Ancient Void Dragon Clan?" Zhu Li asked She Lao with a smile.
Hearing this, Mo Yu’s lips twitched slightly. The implication was clear—Zhu Li wanted to poach his ally.
However, Mo Yu remained unconcerned. His bond with She Lao couldn’t be swayed so easily, even by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
As expected, She Lao glanced at Mo Yu, then shook his head with a light smile. "No need, I already have a place to go."
"What a pity..." Zhu Li sighed with regret.
A Ban Sheng Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent, given sufficient resources, had a high chance of advancing to Dou Sheng in the future. Such a powerhouse was soone even the Ancient Void Dragon Clan would strive to recruit.
"Third Grandpa, what brings you here today?" Zi Yan changed the topic.
"We’ve co because of an ancient ruin," Hei Qing, who rarely spoke, finally said.
"Ancient ruin? What’s that?" Zi Yan asked curiously.
Yuan Cang chid in with a smile, "Haha, this isn’t the best place to discuss such matters. Allow to arrange a more suitable venue for everyone."
Following Yuan Cang’s suggestion, Mo Yu and the others nodded in agreent. Soon, they found themselves in a grand hall within the Abyssal Lion Clan’s territory.
After they were seated and served fragrant tea, everyone turned their attention to Zhu Li, who was seated at the head of the hall.
Seeing their gazes, Zhu Li pondered for a mont before continuing, "An ancient ruin, as the na suggests, refers to remnants from ancient tis.
Anything that endures the passage of ti and leaves behind traces must have belonged to an extraordinary individual.
The ruin discovered this ti is located in the Beast Region. Judging by its condition, the owner was likely a peak-level Dou Sheng."
Hearing this, Mo Yu’s eyes flickered with seriousness. A Dou Sheng, nearing the pinnacle of existence in this world, was no trivial figure.
Mo Yu vaguely recalled that in the original story, Yao Lao’s breakthrough to Ban Sheng was partly due to the treasures obtained by Xiao Yan from a similar ruin.
"The ancient era was vastly different from the present. Over countless years, many ruins have been buried or lost, while others occasionally reerge, like this one," Zhu Li continued.
"Every ergence of an ancient ruin sparks a storm of bloodshed. The treasures left by a Dou Sheng are enough to drive anyone mad.
Furthermore..." Zhu Li’s expression turned solemn as he added, "There’s news that this particular ruin contains a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit."
"Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?"
The entire hall gasped.
The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was one of the divine treasures of the Dou Qi Continent. Its creation required the simultaneous deaths of an ancient Heavenly Phoenix and a Ancient Void Dragon in the sa location.
The fruit’s effects were exclusive to the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heaven Demon Phoenix. Consuming it could induce bloodline mutation, elevating their lineage to the next level!
For the Ancient Void Dragon and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clans, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit held unparalleled allure.
"Third Grandpa, are you serious?" Zi Yan’s small hands clenched tightly, her large eyes brimming with excitent.
For soone like her, who possessed the pure bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was truly a divine treasure.
"Yes, it’s highly likely. Otherwise, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn’t go to such great lengths. This ti, I ca not only to inform you of this news but also to assign Hei Qing to protect you. The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, even if we cannot obtain it, must not fall into the hands of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!" Zhu Li said solemnly.
The current situation was precarious for the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, which faced the risk of splitting apart. If the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan were to acquire the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, it was evident that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s dominance would be completely replaced.
"Rest assured, Third Elder. With here, I will ensure that Zi Yan keeps the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!" Hei Qing promised firmly.
"With Uncle Hei around, there’s no problem. But Third Grandpa, wouldn’t it be more secure if you stepped in yourself?" Zi Yan tilted her head and asked.
Shaking his head, Zhu Li sighed, "Just like with humans, Sheng-level experts in the magical beast world cannot act casually. Otherwise, triggering large-scale wars would bring imnse loss to all clans."
Hearing this, Zi Yan finally nodded.
At this mont, Mo Yu stood up and said, "Don’t worry, Zi Yan. I’ll also lend you a hand!"
"Haha, then thank you, young friend Mo Yu," Zhu Li chuckled as he stroked his snow-white beard.
He vaguely sensed that this young man might prove even more valuable than Hei Qing.
"With so many matters to handle in the clan, this old man must take his leave. Rember, the ancient ruins will open in a month. Don’t miss it," Zhu Li instructed repeatedly before a spatial crack appeared in the grand hall. His figure gradually disappeared within it.
"Since Sheng-level experts cannot interfere with the ancient ruins, Mo Yu, I’ll make a trip to Central Plains first. Once I finish sothing, I’ll co find you."
After Elder Zhu Li departed, She Lao pursed his lips and then spoke.
"Central Plains? Are you heading to Sound Valley, She Lao?" Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, curious.
"Haha, you sure see through everything, kid. I missed sothing back then, and now I want to see if I can make up for it," She Lao replied with a nostalgic glint in his eyes.
"Then I wish you a smooth journey and great success," Mo Yu said, cupping his hands.
"Thanks for your kind words," She Lao waved his hand and stepped out. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the grand hall.
With Zhu Li and She Lao gone, the auras of the two Ban Sheng experts completely faded, allowing everyone present to heave a sigh of relief.
Even though they were all allies, the pressure they exuded spared no one.
"Boss, this should return to its rightful owner now," Zi Huo said as he stood up. Opening his mouth wide, he released a terrifying purple-gold thunderbolt.
The purple-gold thunderbolt took the shape of a lion, mirroring Zi Huo’s form when he transford into the Abyssal Lion. An ancient and overwhelming aura radiated from it, filling the space with an oppressive force.
It was none other than the Primordial Ancestral Thunder!
"Thanks to the Primordial Ancestral Thunder, I was able to inherit the Primal Lion Body. Now that it has grown to its peak, Boss, it’s ti to return it to you," Zi Huo scratched his head as he handed the Primordial Ancestral Thunder to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu didn’t decline, taking the fully matured Primordial Ancestral Thunder with a glimr of delight in his eyes.
The Primordial Ancestral Thunder ranked fourth among all Thunder Souls, making it one of the most potent in Mo Yu’s collection. With its peak form in hand, his combat strength was destined to soar to new heights!
Beside him, Xiao Yixian’s beautiful eyes also revealed a trace of astonishnt. She had seen many of Mo Yu’s thunderbolts before, but none had ever given her such an intense sense of oppression.
Even Hei Qing’s gaze flickered with surprise as he thought to himself, "As expected of soone from the Lei Clan. At such a young age, he already controls such terrifying thunder."
"Absorb the thunder’s energy first. We’ll guard you," Xiao Yixian said softly as she collected herself and moved to Mo Yu’s side.
As Mo Yu’s woman, she knew that each of his Thunder Souls would provide him with an imnse energy feedback upon reaching its peak form, significantly enhancing his strength.
Gripping the Primordial Ancestral Thunder in his hand, Mo Yu nodded without hesitation. He was well aware that the Hall of Souls could strike at any mont, and increasing his strength was an urgent priority.
Determined, he quickly sat cross-legged, activated his cultivation technique, and began absorbing the concentrated energy of the Primordial Ancestral Thunder.
The thunder’s power flowed out in dense waves, enveloping Mo Yu like a thick fog. With each breath he took, the energy rushed into his body, like dragons racing to fill him.
Watching Mo Yu absorb the energy, Xiao Yixian smiled faintly. She sat quietly beside him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and waited patiently.
anwhile, Zi Huo left the hall to inform everyone to stay at least a hundred ters away.
Now that Zi Huo had beco the Young Clan Leader of the Abyssal Lion Clan, no one dared to question his orders.
Thus, the grand hall temporarily beca a restricted area for the Abyssal Lion Clan.
As Mo Yu cultivated, ti passed unknowingly, and half a month had gone by in a flash.
"Hu—"
Half a month later, Mo Yu’s eyes snapped open. Within his dark pupils, powerful Dou Qi rippled like a tangible force. Every movent of his hand left faint traces in the surrounding space.
At this mont, Mo Yu’s aura was undoubtedly far stronger than before.
"Three-Star Dou Zun!"
Sensing the boundless Dou Qi within him, Mo Yu smiled faintly. He could clearly feel the surge in strength and the exhilaration brought by the breakthrough.
"Mo Yu, congratulations!"
Xiao Yixian exhaled in relief when she saw Mo Yu open his eyes. She smiled radiantly, her beautiful voice filled with warmth.
"To think he advanced by two stars in just half a month!"
Even Hei Qing, who had just opened his eyes, was deeply astonished by Mo Yu’s progress.
