The Ancestor of the Long Family, an elder from the Sky Empire whose existence spans nearly ten thousand years.
In this era, so people don’t even rember his existence.
However, when he erged, the entire Chang’an City was illuminated by his brilliance.
This is a natural manifestation of cultivation reaching a certain level, like the descent of divine spirits; every action can cause changes in the heavens and earth.
The glow around him took quite a while to vanish into invisibility, revealing a face that has weathered the ages.
His hair and beard were all white, his face filled with an aura of tranquility.
He seed like a divine being descending to the mortal world, infused with a sense of compassion and empathy, invoking respect from anyone who laid eyes on him.
The Dragon Clan Leader, Long Dingkun, led the group in kneeling, clasped his fists in salute, "The descendant Long Dingkun, leads the Long Family disciples to pay respect to the Ancestor!"
"Disciples pay respect to the Ancestor!"
The disciples of the Long Family knelt down and worshiped toward the heavens.
These were the few remaining masters in Chang’an City who, though rarely appearing publicly, influenced the entire Great Tang Empire with their every word and deed.
Long Fei t eyes with the elder, already feeling the pressure of his Mahayana Realm cultivation level.
Mahayana Realm, the immortals among n.
Once acknowledged by the heavens and overcoming the tribulations, one could beco a True Immortal.
To a certain extent, this elder was no longer rely human but a legendary immortal.
He naturally carried an immortal aura, with a white light swirling around his body, untouched by worldly dust.
He examined Long Fei closely, exclaiming with wonder, "You look just like your ancestor, even in temperant and character."
Long Fei said solemnly, "I want to know what happened back then, why was our lineage expelled from the Long Family?"
Under the elder’s pressure, he was the only one in the venue able to look up and speak.
Others were either lying flat on the ground or bowing their heads, not daring to look directly.
Only Wang Xiaoya managed to lift her head with the protection of the Chaos Green Lotus to look at the elder.
The Ancestor of the Long Family glanced at the sky, his voice long and drawn out, "So much ti has passed, why still ask? The Long Family back then had its unavoidable circumstances, otherwise how could it drive its own clan mbers out? You’ve already destroyed the ancestral land of the Long Family, which counts as avenging your ancestor. Let it end here, and don’t let outsiders mock our Long Family."
The Dragon Clan Leader Long Dingkun protested in depression, "Ancestor, you can’t let this brat off easily! If we let him go just like this, what face will our Long Family have in the future?"
Other elders echoed, "Yes, Ancestor, you can’t let this brat off easily!"
"Ancestor, we ask for your justice!"
"..."
The elder intended to end the matter, but the current mbers of the Long Family clearly didn’t want it to be over.
This ti, not only was their Long Manor struck down, but even their ancestral lands were razed to the ground.
Now, the whole Capital City knew about it. If it ended just like this, the Long Family would not hold its head high again in the Capital City.
Long Fei looked at the Ancestor of the Long Family and said, "The ancestor once said, the Divine Blood Five Clans—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Kylin—each holds a key that can open the Heavenly Gate. Is this true?"
The elder stared at Long Fei in surprise, not expecting this junior to know about it?
He nodded at Long Fei and said, "Yes, that is true."
Long Fei said, "Back then, the ancestor was also trying to open the Heavenly Gate and had a conflict with the Long Family, leading to the expulsion?"
The elder sighed lightly, "Your ancestor knew nothing about what lies behind the Heavenly Gate. Like you now, he was fervent; I advise you to dispel such thoughts."
Long Fei furrowed his brows, "Since everyone knows each other’s intentions, there’s no need to hide anything anymore. Heavenly tribulations will co, the world will be plunged into slaughter. I’m determined to save the Human Race from disaster, regardless of how difficult the path ahead is, I will march forward to the end. I am resolved to obtain the five keys."
The elder gazed at him and said, "Are you really resolved? Your ancestor was a brilliant talent, yet ultimately failed, wandering into Exotic Lands. If you lose, you will have nothing."
Long Fei calmly said, "I already have nothing, so what do I fear losing? Please enlighten on how to obtain the keys?"
The Ancestor of the Long Family said, "In this case, I will no longer advise you. To obtain the keys is simple, you only need to beco the common master of the Five Clans. To beco the common master of the Five Clans, you simply need to defeat us five elders. If you agree, we shall et on Mount Hua in three days."
Princess Taihua hastily interjected, "Old master, are all five of you elders of the sa cultivation level?"
The Ancestor of the Long Family nodded, "Before seclusion, we were all in the Mahayana Realm. To my sha, after so many years, my cultivation has made no progress, only wasted so ti."
His tone carried so lancholy, evidently oppressed in this world, unable to transcend and break through.
Those below, however, erupted into an uproar; they hadn’t imagined such masters existed in the Capital City.
These were Human Immortals, comparable to immortals!
Princess Taihua said dispiritedly, "Isn’t there no hope then?"
She looked at Long Fei and suggested, "Master, I don’t understand your reasons, but isn’t it too risky to compete against five immortals?"
Wang Xiaoya gathered the gist; it seed Long Fei’s ancestor failed due to so keys, resulting in his departure to Exotic Lands.
Now, Long Fei intends to obtain the keys on behalf of his ancestor, fulfilling the unt aspirations of his ancestor.
She said to the elder, "Can my husband and I face the challenge together?"
The elder shook his head, "Only one can do so."
Princess Taihua said, "That’s unfair. My master is alone, while you’re five. Aren’t you planning on bullying him with numbers?"
The Ancestor of the Long Family remained calm; at his level, emotions had long faded.
His tone was very even and said, "That is the rule."
Long Fei t the elder’s eyes and said, "In three days, on Mount Hua, then."
The elder nodded and said no more.
The void trembled and imdiately vanished from the sky.
This figure wasn’t even his true self but rely a thought projection.
After he vanished, throughout the Dragon Clan and the secret observers all around the Capital City began to voice their astonishnt, speechless.
They hadn’t expected Long Fei to dare challenge the masters of the Five Clans.
This young man had only made a na for himself in Shu State and had no reputation in the Capital City.
Many people only noticed him today.
This is a sensational event in the Cultivation World, knowing that the Divine Blood Five Clans are not only the Five Clans’ Guards but five families with Divine Blood lineage, whose disciples are spread across the Northern Dipper Domain.
These five families in the Cultivation World are absolutely no less than first-class sects.
If one becos the common master of the Five Clans, then in the Great Tang, one would absolutely be a person of imnse influence.
The Emperor of Great Tang, whichever generation ascends, attracts the forces of the Five Clans first.
