"Nihility Devouring Flame... I remember fighting him many years ago..."

Gu Yuan's voice rang out again, attracting the attention of the other three people present.

"Back then, Nihility Devouring Flame already possessed the strength of an eight- Dou Sheng. Although I injured him, he still managed to escape in the end... I never imagined that after so many years, he would actually reach this level!"

Mo Tang frowned.

Gu Yuan didn't know exactly how many years ago "many years ago" he was referring to.

But for someone of this caliber to say it was from many years ago, it must have been more than a hundred years ago, right?

A hundred years is a very long time for Mo Tang, considering he is only about thirty years old.

But for the other three present, especially Yan Jin Lei Ying, who has been an eight- Dou Sheng for thousands of years, these hundred years have truly passed in the blink of an eye.

They probably will never have the chance to reach that level again in their lifetime, so you can imagine how they felt when they heard that Nihility Devouring Flame had actually broken through to the ninth star.

"If the Soul Clan really has two Nine-star Dou Sheng, then things will be very troublesome!"

Lei Ying had remained silent until now, finally spoke up.

Clearly, he also felt threatened by the power of the Soul Clan.

Even the Yan Clan and the Thunder Clan, both Nine-star Dou Sheng, might not be able to withstand the Soul Clan's attack within their own clan territories. Perhaps only the Gu Clan, second only to the Soul Clan, could protect themselves.

Gu Yuan glanced at Lei Ying, then his gaze swept over Yan Jin and Mo Tang, and said in a deep voice, "That's exactly right!"

"With two Nine-star Dou Sheng, the Soul Clan already possesses the power to annihilate any force. Even if the Gu Clan can barely protect itself, we are still vulnerable. Therefore, we must unite, otherwise we will be defeated one by one!"

The remaining three nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

But...

The four people present represent the most powerful forces on this continent, and forming an alliance is not something that can be decided with just a few words.

Even Mo Tang doesn't have absolute authority within the Four Directions Alliance; he often needs to consult with forces like the Pill Tower.

Of course, Gu Yuan was also very clear about this.

This meeting was merely to express the Gu Clan's proposal. As for whether to unite, how to unite, and who should take the lead, these are all issues that need to be discussed in detail later.

The meeting didn't last long, and then Yan Jin and Lei Ying left with heavy hearts.

As for Mo Tang, he was stopped by Gu Yuan when he was leaving.

"Mo Alliance, please wait a moment. My daughter promised you a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill, but we haven't fulfilled that promise yet. Since you're here today, I've prepared the gift. Please take it with the Mo Alliance."

Looking at Gu Yuan's calm expression, Mo Tang was momentarily at a loss as to what this guy was thinking.

Even for the Gu Clan, a Ninth-grade Pill isn't something they can just take out whenever they want, right?

Mo Tang originally thought that this matter would just end there, but he didn't expect that Gu Yuan would actually deliver the pills to him.

However, since the other party had said so, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, his relationship with the Gu Clan was just so-so. The reason it's so harmonious now is only because of the circumstances.

With this extra Ninth Grade Treasure Pill, Mo Tang will have enough energy to break through to the Eight- Dou Sheng realm, so it can be said that it came at the perfect time.

Just as Mo Tang was calculating his Energy Points, Gu Yuan had already taken out a black jade box and gently opened it...

Amidst a rich aroma of elixirs, a small, sealed, dark-colored beast appeared before the two.

Unlike the Ninth Grade Treasure Pill that Hun Xuzi had taken out before, this black beast was extremely ferocious. Even though it was sealed, it kept ramming against the incantation above its head and occasionally let out invisible roars.

Mo Tang's eyes narrowed slightly.

The energy contained in this Ninth Grade Treasure Pill from the Gu Clan is far stronger than that of Hun Xuzi's. Judging solely from its fluctuations, it is probably no less than that of a One-star Dou Sheng...

"Why would the Gu Clan be willing to part with such a pill? What are they planning?"

Mo Tang was completely baffled by Gu Yuan's generosity.

This is not the pill that Hun Xuzi just refined. Moreover, once a pill reaches the ninth grade, even the slightest improvement will result in a world of difference in its value!

Putting aside everything else, even the current Pill Tower Ancestor has only just advanced to the Ninth Grade Profound Pill.

After giving Gu Yuan a deep look, Mo Tang accepted the pill, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and took his leave.

Just as Mo Tang left the Ancient Realm, a slender and graceful figure appeared beside Gu Yuan ...

Gu Xun'er's delicate face also showed deep confusion as she softly asked, "Why did Father give him this Ink Origin Pill? It was something the clan had worked very hard to obtain..."

Although Ninth-grade Pill are precious, Gu Clan still have some in stock, ranging from high to low quality.

Although this Ink Origin Pill is not the highest quality, it is not the lowest either; it is of medium quality. If it were only for the sake of that promise, there would be no need to take it out at all.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, not directly answering his daughter's question. Instead, he looked in the direction Mo Tang had left and said softly, "Xun Er, perhaps the next time we see him, he will already be an eight- Dou Sheng..."

These words almost made Gu Xun'er lose her composure, leaving her with an expression of disbelief.

"How is that possible! He only broke through to the Seven-star Dou Sheng a short time ago. He can't break through to the Eight-Star realm with just Ninth-grade Pill!"

If reaching the Eight- Dou Sheng were so easy, their Gu Clan wouldn't be without a single Eight- Dou Sheng by now...

Especially for their race, obtaining Ninth-grade Pill is not impossible.

Take the Yao Clan for example. There are more than three people who can refine Ninth-grade Pill, but their clan leader can't even break through to the eighth star!

"Hehe, if Xun Er doesn't believe her father, we'll just wait and see. It won't take long anyway..."

Gu Yuan's voice was still full of affirmation, seemingly very confident in Mo Tang's breakthrough.

The reason for this is that Gu Yuan was the only person besides Mo Tang, who was overpowered, who truly felt Yan Jin's killing intent.

Yan Jin has already decided to kill Mo Tang, so with the latter's current strength, he can't withstand the attack of a late-stage eight- Dou Sheng expert...

If Mo Tang wants to survive, the only way is to break through to the eighth star in cultivation, and judging from his performance, he seems to be very confident.

Gu Yuan was eager to see if this little guy could recreate his past magic, and he wouldn't mind helping him out.

After all, if our side had an additional eight- Dou Sheng, we would have a greater chance of success when facing the Soul Clan!

Gu Yuan's expression gradually became solemn. He knew how terrifying the Soul Clan was!
