Chapter 485: Invitation from the Ancient Clan Elder
Others might not have noticed, but Xiao Ze, with his nearly perfect Heavenly Soul, easily sensed the elder's gaze. However, Xiao Ze wasn't too concerned. After all, he might be the only Dou Saint among the invitees this time. It was normal to attract the attention of the Ancient Clan's Dou Saint.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ancient Realm is about to open. The realm is vast, and wandering aimlessly may lead to getting lost or even accidentally stepping into a space rift, which could result in being lost in the void forever," the elder said calmly, his voice amplified by Dou Qi spreading across the lake. "Therefore, once you enter the Ancient Realm, please do not wander off. The Ancient Clan will send someone to guide you to the central area, the Ancient Sacred Mountains."
"Also, I must warn you in advance, there are many Ancient Clan descendants in the realm. Please do not disturb them. Depending on the severity of the situation, the Ancient Clan will take different measures, with no upper limit!" The elder's tone carried a faint killing intent, making everyone tense. Some began whispering, asking those who knew more.
"Brother, what are Ancient Clan descendants?"
"Ancient Clan descendants are people with extremely diluted Dou Emperor bloodlines, considered the lowest tier of the Ancient Clan. After countless generations, their Dou Emperor bloodline is so thin it's almost negligible, but they are still a crucial part of the Ancient Clan."
"If their bloodline mutates or they accidentally awaken their Dou Emperor bloodline, they can become true members of the Ancient Clan! Many young talents in the Ancient Clan come from these descendants."
After these explanations, those who didn't understand before nodded knowingly, resolving not to provoke the descendants. Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also looked curious since Xun'er hadn't detailed this part of the Ancient Clan's structure to them.
While everyone whispered, the huge lake began to emit an extremely terrifying spatial fluctuation. When it reached its peak, a dazzling light shot out from the lake's depths, connecting with the energy barrier covering the Ancient Sacred City.
Boom—
When the two connected, a thunderous sound echoed, and the space above the lake split open. In the awed gazes of the onlookers, a massive space gate slowly formed.
"The gate to the Ancient Realm is open. Please proceed," the Dou Saint elder said with a smile. As he spoke, many figures flew towards the space gate, curiosity evident in their eyes.
"Let's go," Xiao Ze said to Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian. The three of them quickly flew towards the space gate. As a strong spatial force enveloped them, the scene before them rapidly changed. When it stabilized, a vast world appeared before their eyes.
The endless blue sky was dotted with clouds, and a gentle breeze caressed their faces. A lush green grassland stretched to the horizon.
"What a rich energy! The energy in the Ancient Realm is several times more abundant than outside!" Xiao Yi Xian said, landing on the grass and feeling the energy around her.
"Training here is indeed much faster than outside. This explains why the younger generation of the Ancient Clan is so powerful. It's not just their talent but also this excellent training ground," Qing Lin said, breathing in the fresh scent of grass mixed with the faint smell of earth.
"No wonder the Ancient Clan's Dou Saint warned us not to wander. With such a perfect training ground, some might be tempted to stay," Xiao Ze added.
As everyone marveled at the wonders of the Ancient Realm, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance. Soon, they saw a large black cloud approaching, covering the sky.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these weren't ordinary clouds but ten enormous warships surrounded by dark clouds, making them look like ships riding on clouds and lightning—a truly intimidating sight.
"Indeed, the Ancient Clan stands at the pinnacle of the ancient clans. Such a display, even the Pill Tower cannot compare," Qing Lin said, watching the approaching warships.
"Haha, honored guests, please board the ships. These warships will take you to the center of the Ancient Realm, the Ancient Sacred Mountains!" The Dou Saint elder from the Ancient Clan announced with a smile. The dark clouds around the ships opened, revealing a path leading to the massive vessels.
Xiao Ze followed the crowd onto the warships, noticing their vast interiors and the numerous black-armored guards wielding spears, providing formidable security. Xiao Ze guessed that these Black Mist Guards were not only guarding against external threats but also keeping an eye on the guests, ensuring no one attempted to stay in the Ancient Realm.
Once everyone was aboard, the elder gave the order, and the ships began to tremble. The surrounding space fluctuated.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin looked around in amazement. "These ships can travel through space? And their speed seems faster than even peak Dou Zuns," they said in awe.
"These are the Ancient Clan's Space Shuttles, capable of traversing space. Their speed is unparalleled and invaluable for both transport and warfare," a voice suddenly said, startling the three. It was the Dou Saint elder.
"Greetings, elder," the three said respectfully.
"No need for formalities. Xiao Ze, I would like to have a word with you," the elder said, directly stating his purpose.
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Ze told Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, "You two find a cabin to rest in. I'll be back soon."
Both nodded, and the elder led Xiao Ze away with a smile.
"What do you think the elder wants to talk to Xiao Ze about?"
"I'm not sure, but with Miss Xun'er's relationship, Xiao Ze should be fine."
As they speculated, Xiao Ze followed the Dou Saint elder to the ship's bow, curious about what the elder wanted to discuss.
