It was said that the young man was quite handsome, and on the day of his ascension, the entire Upper Realm was filled with colorful light, stunning everyone...
With the Dragon Ancestor sealed, the Seven Great Clans finally took charge of the Upper Realm. It was a time to win over powerful individuals and secure their positions! The appearance of the youth naturally made him a sought-after figure!
What happened in between is unclear, but it is said that the one who carried the phoenix egg later hooked up with the eldest daughter of the Fanyin Clan. His cultivation grew day by day, reaching the Heavenly Dao King realm in just fifty years...
His speed was terrifying!
Just as everyone thought he would join the Fanyin Clan, the youth suddenly disappeared! It is said that the eldest daughter remained devoted, waiting for him for hundreds of years, transforming from a beautiful maiden into a volatile, middle-aged spinster. Consequently, the Fanyin Clan quickly sealed off all information, preventing anyone from mentioning him in her presence...
Centuries passed, and many people's memories of that genius youth who appeared out of nowhere faded. After all, the Upper Realm was full of powerful cultivators, and it seemed like someone became famous every so often!
Jin Bao'er listened thoughtfully. It appeared that something had happened between the Seven Great Clans and the youth, and now that he had been missing for hundreds of years, finding him would be extremely difficult.
However... perhaps the eldest daughter of the Fanyin Clan would know something?
Just then...
"Are you looking for the mother of that phoenix?"
A familiar voice sounded, and the cold woman's heart leaped with joy!
"Long Lixing? You're back?"
After speaking, she realized she might have been too dramatic. She cleared her throat, and a flicker of something unusual crossed her eyes.
"Yes, but it seems no one knows where that person is now. They say he's been missing for centuries..."
Inside the immortal abode, the man nodded slightly, his purple eyes filled with a rippling smile! The topic had shifted quite quickly.
"Since that's the case, let's go to the Fanyin Clan!"
In any case, the entire Upper Realm now knew of the Dragon Clan's return, and their missing treasures were being reclaimed. He didn't need to worry about it! As for the old fellow who sealed him... no rush! He would get to him eventually.
Thinking this, a hint of a cruel smile touched the man's lips.
"But... do you know the way?"
Jin Bao'er asked. After all, she was unfamiliar with the Upper Realm, and she really didn't know where the Fanyin Clan was. She had only heard it was on a sea...
And besides...
"Your strength hasn't fully recovered yet. With the Dragon Clan acting so arrogantly now, wouldn't that be... not good?"
She couldn't help but ponder after seeing the colorful, oppressive aura at the Gong Jue Clan's residence. Although she had only seen a few dozen, she had a vague feeling that there were definitely more Heavenly Dao powerhouses hidden in the shadows than she had seen!
"Pfft... in my eyes, they are nothing more than a group of clowns! Perhaps not even as good as that old Elf King!"
His tone was extremely arrogant and disdainful! It made Jin Bao'er curious about Long Lixing's true cultivation level!
Perhaps sensing Jin Bao'er's intense curiosity, the man in the immortal abode paused, then smiled with great helplessness.
"In these past couple of days, you should have gained a certain understanding of the distribution and cultivation levels of the major forces in the Upper Realm! But in reality, it's not as simple as they see..."
Besides the clans and various minor forces, the Upper Realm also hid some reclusive old monsters! Their cultivation had long since reached the Heavenly Dao Emperor realm!
However, because they had been in seclusion for so long, they were thought to be long dead! Most of the people who sealed Long Lixing were those reclusive old monsters, all of them tens of thousands of years old...
Above the Heavenly Dao realm... were the true powerhouses! Beings that even the Heavenly Dao couldn't control!
Therefore, in the eyes of such powerful beings, Nascent Soul and Void Breaking were mere trifles! Heavenly Dao realm cultivators were considered somewhat capable! Only after breaking through the Heavenly Dao realm could they catch their eye!
The reason the Seven Great Clans had been able to develop stably for tens of thousands of years was primarily due to the support of these old monsters behind them.
"So, do you still want to know my cultivation level?"
The man's magnetic voice held a hint of amusement. It wasn't that he didn't want to say, but it would be useless to say it now. Jin Bao'er was too far from that level...
Saying it would only undermine her confidence!
Indeed, after hearing this, Jin Bao'er froze all over, completely losing the desire to know. Looking at her own early Void Breaking cultivation, becoming one of the powerhouses seemed like a fantasy!
But... at this very moment, her previous hesitation and confusion vanished, and waves of passion surged again! A feeling called defiance spread throughout her body... her fighting spirit became even more fervent! It was as if she saw the endless, long road ahead!
Although she was not qualified now, one day, she would become a powerhouse like Long Lixing, one that would make the entire Upper Realm tremble!
She... wanted to become stronger!
Realizing her sudden enlightenment and her full recovery of spirit, Long Lixing was slightly stunned, then smiled with a sense of emotion!
How could he not know?
Jin Bao'er, a cultivator from the lower realm, had achieved what even the powerhouses of the Upper Realm could not! Ascending to the Upper Realm at the age of thirty-four shattered everyone's absolute perceptions! Such terrifying talent and speed could easily make her impatient...
Even though she had experienced so much and her temperament had long surpassed ordinary people, she only felt lost, not arrogant. How many people could achieve this? .oΓg
Yet, she had woken up through his brief words and quickly regained her original intention!
"Forget it! Tell me when I'm qualified to know!"
She was still too weak now!
...
The Fanyin Clan!
Within a grand and towering city surrounded by a sea...
"Father... the Dragon Clan has returned!"
The middle-aged man's face was filled with solemnity, and his fists were clenched tightly! It was evident how anxious he was!
Upon hearing this, the old man slowly turned his head, his cloudy yet sharp eyes looking at his son. His tone was filled with a stern dissatisfaction!
"Useless trash! What are you panicking about? No matter how strong the Dragon Clan is, Long Lixing must act with restraint before his strength is fully recovered! Moreover, our Ancestor has already made arrangements!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the middle-aged man's face upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.
"It was my son's lapse! Father is right!"
The old man didn't even glance at him, his tone filled with regret!
"If only you had half of your sister's talent! The head of the prestigious Fanyin Clan is only at the fifth stage of Heavenly Dao Saint Elder..."
The more the old man spoke, the more disappointed he became with the man before him, completely unaware of the sinister glint in the middle-aged man's eyes!
"How is A Xue doing recently?"
Mentioning his most beloved youngest daughter, the old man's eyes showed a hint of concern, but it was only for that youngest daughter, completely disregarding the middle-aged man before him!
"My little sister... she's still the same!"
