The Ancestor Xuanyuan had broken through!
This news undoubtedly sent unprecedented shockwaves through the venerable ancestors in the forbidden grounds of the Imperial Palace.
Were they joking?
Ancestor Xuanyuan had already reached the peak of the eighth-tier Dao Ancestor realm. Now that he had broken through, it meant that after an immeasurable number of years, the Galactic Empire finally had another individual who had stepped into the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm!
"How many years has it been!"
"Our clan finally has a ninth-tier Dao Ancestor again~~"
At this moment, countless ancestors of the Galactic Empire sighed with emotion. Then, all eyes turned to the white jade porcelain bottle in Ancestor Changkong's hand, filled with fervent excitement and awe.
This pill was truly divine!
"No, look quickly, fifty thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, could Ancestor Xuanyuan be...?"
"The breakthrough isn't over!!"
As the exclamations of the ancestors within the forbidden grounds spread, Ji Xuanyuan, who had initially been somewhat exhausted from breaking through, felt a surge of terrifying energy once more around him. The medicinal power of the fifty thousand-year-old spiritual herbs was immense.
Coupled with the residual effects of some of the [Ancestral Breaking Pill], and most importantly, Ji Xuanyuan's ten thousand years of accumulated cultivation, the explosive breakthrough was evident.
Energy raged, and its aura spread.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense as time passed.
A quarter of an hour!
Three-quarters of an hour! Five-quarters of an hour!!
Finally, Ji Xuanyuan's momentum surged once more. He had not only entered the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm but had further ascended to the peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm.
With a deafening roar!
The aura of a ninth-tier Dao Ancestor peak permeated the air. Even the numerous ancestors within the forbidden grounds were forced to retreat repeatedly. Although Ji Xuanyuan had no intention of targeting them, his aura alone caused them to appear somewhat dishevelled.
One could imagine!
How powerful the peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm was.
"He... broke through again!"
"Cough cough... peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor, my heavens!"
"So strong, as expected of Ancestor Xuanyuan, the strongest of my Ji clan!!"
"With this, even if the Burning Heaven Holy Land attacks, our Galactic Empire will not fear them~~"
"Indeed, perhaps... in the not too distant future, our Galactic Empire can truly fulfill the long-held wish of our ancestors and become the Galactic Immortal Kingdom!!"
...
For a time, discussions buzzed within the forbidden grounds.
At this moment, Ji Xuanyuan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, his smile unfeigned as he felt the surging energy within him that he had never dared to imagine. "Peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor, as expected!"
"Truly a magical [Ancestral Breaking Pill]. If we rely on this pill, within a thousand years, at most three hundred years, our Galactic Empire will surely reign supreme, perhaps even... become the Galactic Immortal Kingdom!!"
Three hundred years!
Upon hearing the ancestor's resolve, the elders in the forbidden grounds took a deep breath. Three hundred years later?
At that time... their Galactic Empire would become the Galactic Immortal Kingdom!!
The thought alone made them incredibly excited.
"Congratulations to the Third Ancestor on breaking through to the peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm!"
Ji Changkong was filled with exhilaration. This news was incredibly, incredibly important to their Galactic Empire.
Then, Ji Changkong's gaze fell upon the ancestors within the forbidden grounds. "Esteemed elders, please also break through as soon as possible! @"
As his voice fell, each of the ancestors who had reached the peak of their respective realms and were stuck there for countless years received a [Dao Breaking Pill] in their hands!
"We thank Ancestor Changkong!!"
Immediately, all the ancestors spoke in unison, while Ji Changkong waved his hand and smiled, "You should thank not me, but the sworn brother of the current Emperor, Ye Xuan."
"It was he who changed the destiny of our Galactic Empire~"
Ji Changkong's mind conjured an incredibly mysterious figure. Clearly, it was Ye Xuan. He understood perfectly that without Ye Xuan, none of this would have happened.
"Indeed."
Ji Xuanyuan continued, "Changkong, esteemed elders!"
"From this day forward, Ye Xuan is the most honored guest of our Galactic Empire. No one is permitted to offend him!"
"Otherwise, face clan punishment!!"
"We shall remember."
Including Ji Changkong, they all bowed towards Ji Xuanyuan in agreement.
At this very moment, they understood that no matter how grave the offense Ye Xuan committed within the Galactic Empire, he would not be punished in the slightest.
Of course, Ye Xuan was unaware of this, as he did not even know Ji Wutian's identity yet.
As for how he would react upon learning his elder brother's identity, that remained to be seen!
Concurrently, Ji Xuanyuan also transmitted a message to Ji Wutian, who was in the Southern Barbarian Mountain Range outside the Imperial City.
"What!"
"Ancestor, you've entered the peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm!"
"Good, I understand."
After the transmission ended, Ji Wutian took a deep breath. He then looked with immense astonishment at the other ancestors who were still breaking through in the distance. "My goodness, I never expected Ancestor Xuanyuan to... directly break through to the peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm!"
"Second Brother, this kindness!"
Ji Wutian clenched his fists. He understood very well that these [Ancestral Breaking Pills] were far more precious than the spatial rings he had given.
For this favor, their Galactic Empire would likely find it difficult to repay in this lifetime!
After a long while.
Ji Wutian finally regained his senses and looked towards the direction of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom. "Go all out. It's fine even if we go to war with the Burning Heaven Holy Land."
"Ancestor Xuanyuan's confidence, though it's the worst-case scenario, it's clear that the Galactic Empire has grown stronger~~"
Ji Wutian licked his lips and then thought of his second brother's rapidly increasing cultivation. Although he was now at the peak of the third-tier Dao Ancestor realm, it seemed insufficient.
In the future, his second brother's achievements would undoubtedly far surpass his own and even Ancestor Xuanyuan's. At that time, he couldn't be a hindrance to him.
"Perhaps... one day, Second Brother will grow to be an existence that even the Burning Heaven Holy Land, and even the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, will look up to!"
Ji Wutian thought this, and his intuition told him that this day would not be far off, at most... no more than a thousand years.
While the Ji clan of the Galactic Empire was shaken, Ye Xuan triggered another mission.
"Ding! Host triggers random mission: Exchange for a giant teleportation array and establish a Xuan Alliance branch on the Galactic Planet. Reward: 50 million Galactic Coins, with an additional 2 million Top-grade Emperor Crystals!"
Ye Xuan, who was leisurely appreciating the beautiful scenery, suddenly heard the system's voice.
Ye Xuan was taken aback!
"What the heck? A giant teleportation array??"
This was a bombshell. He knew about giant teleportation arrays and had even seen them in the store. However... the conditions required were extremely harsh.
Damn it, just the exchange alone would cost over 10 million Galactic Coins, and that was just one part of it.
Furthermore, both ends of the teleportation array required 500,000 Top-grade Emperor Crystals to maintain, and they needed to be replaced every hundred years. Damn it, this dog author is too greedy!!
