Seven Heavens of Stars!
Indeed, this information struck the Ice River Giant Beast's clone with significant, even unprecedented, impact.
Though its true form was so powerful, which was cause for joy, that joy was overshadowed by immense pressure.
What a joke!
With its true form at the level of Seven Heavens of Stars, it was at least ten times stronger, no, a hundred times stronger. Faced with such a disparity, how could it remain calm?
Therefore...
The Starry Sacred Land became the Ice River Giant Beast's clone's hope for a comeback.
As expected.
With its complete ancestral bloodline reversion and the power of time and space learned from its true form, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone easily subdued the many old ancestors and prodigies of the twelve supreme bloodlines of the Starry Sacred Land.
The fate of the Starry Sacred Land also changed at this moment with the clone's arrival.
Meanwhile, in the Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom.
Grand Profound Sacred City.
"What!"
"The Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom's disappearance is related to the Xuan Alliance?"
The current Sacred Lord of the Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom, Huangfu Yun, knitted his brows. He had been incessantly troubled by that concubine from the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom recently. If not for her considerable beauty and his patience with her, he wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter. After all, the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom was merely a vassal state under their Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom.
And, if someone from the ruling lineage of the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom hadn't become his concubine, it was debatable whether it would have even become a vassal state of their Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom.
Whoosh~
Just then, a figure appeared like a phantom in the hall. This person was none other than the Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom's strongest ancestor, Huangfu Yanri.
"Ancestor Yanri!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Sacred Lord of Purple Wei, Huangfu Yun, immediately rose from his seat, respectfully addressing him.
What a joke!
The person before him was the supreme expert of their Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom, who had protected their nation for at least a hundred thousand years. Currently, his cultivation was at the peak of the Nine Heavens of Stars, just a step away from the Bright Moon realm.
If judged by the strength of a Third-Grade Sacred Kingdom, their Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom could be considered one right now, as it was presided over by a Nine Heavens of Stars expert.
As for why they hadn't been promoted to a higher grade, it was partly due to their insufficient national strength and partly because their greatest rival, the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom, was like a tiger lurking nearby, preventing them from easily revealing their full capabilities.
After all!
Others might not know, but they were well aware that the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom was not as simple as it appeared on the surface; they likely also possessed Nine Heavens of Stars experts.
"Mmm."
Huangfu Yanri entered the great hall, glanced at the current Grand Profound Sacred Lord, and then, as if recalling something, asked, "Did I just hear that the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom was destroyed?"
"Yes, Ancestor Yanri."
After a pause, Huangfu Yun continued, "However, the force suspected of destroying the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom is only an Eighth-Rank power. It is vastly inferior to the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom, and there are many suspicious aspects to it."
"Mmm."
Hearing this, Huangfu Yanri's brow furrowed. "An Eighth-Rank power destroyed the Ninth-Rank Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom?"
"This is interesting."
Huangfu Yanri mused for a moment, then his gaze swept towards the distant reaches of the Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom. "If this Xuan Alliance is indeed the entity that destroyed the Purple Wei Immortal Kingdom, then it must possess something unique."
"Perhaps, it holds the key for our Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom to surpass the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom."
Huangfu Yun, hearing this, couldn't help but be taken aback. "Uh..."
"This, surely not?"
Clearly, Huangfu Yun was somewhat uncertain, or rather, he didn't believe it.
Huangfu Yanri ignored Huangfu Yun, merely offering a profound smile. "Who knows?
"However, the path to becoming stronger is inherently defiant of the heavens, so..."
"Even if there's only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, we must seize it!"
Huangfu Yanri stated with conviction. "Of course, if this Xuan Alliance is merely an ordinary Eighth-Rank power, a visit would be no loss."
"However, if there is an opportunity that allows our Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom to soar, then that's a different story."
After a lengthy discussion.
Huangfu Yanri looked in the direction of the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom. "In recent years, the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom has become increasingly unstable. This stalemate should be broken as soon as possible."
"The Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom is destined to become the stepping stone for our Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom to advance to a Third-Grade, or even a Second-Grade Sacred Kingdom."
"Since the Xuan Alliance's strength is uncertain, let Ji Yue go and investigate."
Mmm!
Hearing Huangfu Yanri's words, Huangfu Yun's pupils widened. "Ancestor Ji Yue, this..."
"Ancestor Yanri, Ancestor Ji Yue is a Seven Heavens of Stars existence. Is it not too high a level for him to investigate a mere Eighth-Rank power?"
What a joke!
He was a Seven Heavens of Stars expert. Even their Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom had few of them. To deploy one for a mere Eighth-Rank power demonstrated how much importance Huangfu Yanri placed on this matter.
"It's fine."
Huangfu Yanri smiled nonchalantly. "From today onwards, all the ancestors in seclusion within the kingdom will emerge. This time, no matter what, we must take down the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom in one fell swoop."
"Oh!"
Upon hearing his ancestor's words, Huangfu Yun's eyes narrowed. "Ancestor Yanri, you are planning to make a move against the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom."
Hearing this, Huangfu Yun's heart leaped. This was a grand plan that their Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom had shelved for an unknown period. If successful, it would be an achievement of eternal merit for their nation.
Now... was it finally going to be realized under his watch?
The mere thought made him immensely excited!
"Precisely!"
Huangfu Yanri naturally understood Huangfu Yun's feelings. As the current Sacred Lord of the Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom, he was privy to this matter, as the cooperation of Huangfu Yun would be indispensable for the annihilation of the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom.
"The younger generation of the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom is now full of talented individuals. If we allow them to continue developing, our Grand Profound Sacred Kingdom's hard-earned advantage will vanish!"
"Therefore, rather than waiting to be defeated, it's better to strike proactively this time!!"
So spoke Huangfu Yanri. Huangfu Yun also somewhat understood the reason behind his ancestor's decision. However, he was acutely aware of the current situation of the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom. In truth, his ancestor's decision was very correct.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, the younger generation of the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom was indeed subtly stronger than their own.
"Hoo~"
"So that's how it is!"
Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Yun's expression became solemn as he understood the underlying reasons. He immediately bowed and pledged, "Rest assured, Ancestor Yanri, Huangfu Yun will fully cooperate with the ancestors to accomplish the great task of annihilating the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Yun's gaze drifted towards the direction of the Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom, a ferocious glint in his eyes. Myriad Dragon Sacred Kingdom... you are certainly doomed this time!!
