On the other side, the restricted area of the Guiyuan Sect.
Dongfang Shuobei opened the gate of the restricted area and entered. An overwhelming and potent aura immediately assailed him. The weakest among them were at the fifth stage of Void Ancestor, and there were more than a hundred existences whose auras were even stronger than Dongfang Shuobei's.
This was clearly the critical heart of the Guiyuan Sect, the guardian of their final line of defense.
"Shuobei has something important to report to all the Old Ancestors!"
Dongfang Shuobei bowed ninety degrees respectfully. Only then did the terrifying auras of over a hundred individuals gradually recede, and Dongfang Shuobei's suffocating sensation eased slightly.
Not long after.
Dongfang Shuobei arrived in the depths of the restricted area. Before him stood over a hundred figures. Dongfang Shuobei took a deep breath immediately.
"Shuobei pays his respects to all the Old Ancestors!"
Bowing his head, Dongfang Shuobei's face was full of reverence. He understood perfectly that these people were the benefactors of their Guiyuan Sect. Without their protection, the Guiyuan Sect would likely have been overthrown in an instant.
"Mmm!"
All the Old Ancestors of the Guiyuan Sect looked over in unison. At one moment, the most potent aura pressed down. This person was undoubtedly the strongest Old Ancestor of the Guiyuan Sect, Dongfang Wenren.
"Shuobei, what is the matter?"
Dongfang Wenren looked at the current Sect Master of Guiyuan Sect, Dongfang Shuobei, who appeared before him. This was also one of the rare and outstanding young descendants of their Dongfang clan.
He had extremely high hopes for Dongfang Shuobei, and in the future, he was expected to become the strongest protector of their Guiyuan Sect!
At this moment, Dongfang Wenren's aura had already far surpassed the Void Ancestor level. He was a Dao Ancestor level expert above the Void Ancestor realm, and furthermore, he was at the peak of the third stage Dao Ancestor.
"Old Ancestor Wenren, it's like this..."
Dongfang Shuobei paused, then roughly recounted what his eldest brother, Changsun Qingtian, had told him.
The Old Ancestors of the Guiyuan Sect, who had initially not paid much attention, began to emit dazzling light from their eyes as Dongfang Shuobei narrated. Dongfang Wenren was no exception.
"Shuobei, you said... Breaking Dao Pill!?"
Hearing Dongfang Shuobei's words, Dongfang Wenren's eyes sparkled. He had been stuck at the peak of the third stage Dao Ancestor for over a thousand years. Being trapped at this realm for such a long time, the days without hope of breaking through had almost driven him insane.
Not only Dongfang Wenren, but the other Old Ancestors of the Guiyuan Sect were also filled with excitement. Whether it was the Breaking Dao Pill or the Breaking Ancestor Pill, they held an irresistible temptation and attraction.
Therefore... it was not only Dongfang Wenren who saw hope, but they also saw unprecedented hope, the hope of breaking through, like a clear spring in a parched desert.
If they could obtain the Breaking Dao Pill or the Breaking Ancestor Pill, it would undoubtedly be a rare opportunity for them.
"Is this matter confirmed!"
Another Old Ancestor at the peak of the second stage Dao Ancestor also spoke, but the suppressed excitement in his voice was hard to contain.
"Old Ancestor, this matter is absolutely true!"
After a pause, Dongfang Shuobei continued, "Because the person who provided the information is my sworn elder brother from my training days, and he is someone who has used the [Breaking Ancestor Pill]. He is now at the fifth stage Void Ancestor realm, and furthermore..."
"My son, Dongfang Qingkong, has also used a [Breaking Emperor Pill], and has also taken up residence under Ye Xuan's tutelage. And one more thing!"
"Qingkong is only fifteen years old, and his strength has already reached the peak of the eighth stage Great Emperor."
Upon hearing Dongfang Shuobei's words, the Old Ancestors of the Guiyuan Sect were all immensely astonished, and then looked at Dongfang Shuobei in disbelief.
"What did you say!?"
"Less than fifteen years old, reaching the peak of the eighth stage Great Emperor, this!!"
Clearly, Dongfang Qingkong's situation had shocked everyone.
What a joke!
They had lived for at least thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years. They had seen countless prodigies and knew very well what it meant to reach the eighth stage Great Emperor at fifteen years old.
He remembered that Dongfang Shuobei himself had only just managed to reach the third stage Great Emperor at fifteen, while his son had already reached the peak of the eighth stage Great Emperor.
Of course, if they knew that Dongfang Qingkong had already reached the ninth stage Great Emperor, they would be astonished. But even this was enough to shock them.
Dongfang Shuobei had always had a very good impression of Ye Xuan, and he was also his son's master, so it was even more so. He continued to add fuel to the fire, "Ahem, all the Old Ancestors, there is actually one more matter?"
"This is also the most important one!"
"Qingkong's master, that Ye Xuan, is currently at the eighth stage Venerable realm. His age is estimated to be less than a hundred years old, and no one knows the exact age."
The Guiyuan Sect's Old Ancestors, "!!!!"
"What did you say!?"
Undoubtedly, at this moment, everyone was shocked.
Less than a hundred years old, an eighth stage Venerable, what kind of joke was this?
An eighth stage Venerable under a hundred years old, when they were a hundred years old, they were probably still hovering at the Great Emperor level, and it was uncertain whether they could even reach the eighth stage Great Emperor, let alone the eighth stage Venerable.
A peerless prodigy!
Yes, at that moment, a thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of the Old Ancestors of the Guiyuan Sect.
"It seems..."
"It is necessary to meet this young fellow named Ye Xuan."
Dongfang Wenren gazed into the distance, then his gaze fell on Dongfang Shuobei. "When that Ye Xuan returns to the Guiyuan Sect, find a time to bring him to see us."
"Yes, Old Ancestor Wenren!"
Dongfang Shuobei immediately bowed respectfully upon hearing the Old Ancestor's words. He couldn't help but recall the matter of the Old Ancestors of the Dragon Sun Empire that his eldest brother had mentioned. Could it be... that Old Ancestor Wenren would also hand over the Guiyuan Sect to the Xuan Alliance?
If that were the case, wouldn't they gain more than thirty Void Ancestor level experts soon?
If so, they might have a greater chance in the power struggle for the throne of the Galaxy Empire!
A moment later.
Dongfang Shuobei, who had just left the restricted area not long ago, received a telepathic message from his subordinate. It was reported that Ye Xuan and his son, Dongfang Qingkong, had returned to the sect, and were unharmed.
Of course, there was still no news of the Tenth Elder of the Luotian Alliance and others, which clearly indicated that his eldest brother's speculation was likely true, and that the Tenth Elder of the Luotian Alliance and his group had probably all been eliminated by Ye Xuan.
What a joke?
Even Dugui Qiu, who went personally, was eliminated. It was not so difficult to accept that the mere Tenth Elder was eliminated.
"Qingkong, come and see me!"
Dongfang Shuobei directly sent a telepathic message to his son. Although he had interacted with Ye Xuan, their connection was too shallow. His son was different. Speaking through his son, everything would naturally fall into place. In any case, whether the Old Ancestors wanted to join the Xuan Alliance or exchange something with Ye Xuan, it would undoubtedly bring infinite benefits to their Guiyuan Sect. Dongfang Shuobei understood this very clearly, and this was why he had called his son to see him. Of course, neither Dongfang Qingkong nor Ye Xuan knew anything about this.
