"Can you take us to meet the elders of your clan?" Ye Xuan said in a gentle tone, "There are some things that we need to verify in person."
Several young men looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, but finally the young man who led them nodded.
"Follow me. But... if you dare to play tricks, we Xuan Yuan Imperial Clan are not easy to bully!"
He said, trying hard to puff up his chest and look fierce, but he only looked cuter.
Gu Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth.
The young man glared at him and turned around to lead the way.
After passing through layers of restrictions and walking along the winding mountain road for about half an hour, the front suddenly became clear.
It is a huge valley hidden in the hinterland of the Ring Mountains.
The valley is filled with aura, towering ancient trees, and gurgling streams, making it feel like a paradise.
In the center of the valley, a simple Daoist temple stands quietly. On the plaque in front of the temple, three simple characters shine brightly.
Xuan Yuan Hall.
"Elder clan, someone is coming!"
The young man shouted, and the Daoist temple door slowly opened.
An old and tall figure walked out of the door.
His eyes were cloudy, but when his eyes fell on Ye Xuan, two rays of light suddenly burst out from those old eyes!
"This is..."
The old man's voice trembled slightly, and he quickly walked down the steps, stopped three feet away from Ye Xuan, and bowed solemnly.
"Old Xuan Yuan Imperial Clan, the seventy-third generation headmaster, Xuan Zhenzi, I have seen... seen..."
He paused, seeming to consider what to call him.
Ye Xuan raised his hand for support and smiled slightly.
"Senior, you don't have to be polite. I'm Ye Xuan, these are my Dao companion and brothers. I hope you can forgive me for intruding."
"Not presumptuous, not presumptuous!"
Xuan Zhenzi waved his hands again and again, with tears glistening in his cloudy old eyes.
"I have been waiting for this day for too long."
He took a deep breath to calm down and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Everyone, please follow me into the palace to have a chat."
"I have a lot to say to you, old man."
Everyone followed Xuan Zhenzi into the Xuan Yuan Hall.
The hall is simple and simple, without much decoration, except for a three-foot-tall Daoist statue enshrined in the center.
The Daoist statue holds a fly whisk, wears a black Daoist robe, has a clear face, and slightly closed eyes. Although it is just a stone sculpture, it faintly exudes an immortal Daoist charm that has lasted through the ages.
"This is the Dharma image of my Xuan Yuan Imperial Clan ancestor, Xuan Yuan Great Emperor." Xuan Zhenzi stopped in front of the Daoist statue, bowed slightly, then turned around and motioned for everyone to take a seat.
Ye Xuan sat down on the side of the main seat, Chu Wan'er and the four girls stood behind him, while Gu Ye stood at the door of the palace with an ax in his arms, scanning around vigilantly.
"Senior just said that you have been waiting for us for a long time?" Chu Wan'er was the first to speak, with a trace of doubt in his beautiful eyes. "With all due respect, senior probably doesn't know us, let alone know that we will come here in advance. Where does the word 'wait' come from?"
Xuan Zhenzi Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on his thin face.
"What Chu Imperial Daughter said is absolutely true. According to common sense, it is impossible for me to know that you will come here."
He paused, then raised the whisk lightly, and two deep mysterious lights suddenly bloomed in his turbid old eyes.
"But, I, Xuanyuan Daoism, have a secret technique called 'Xuan Yuan Sky Peeking Technique'."
"This technique can peek into a corner of the future."
When everyone heard this, their expressions became condensed.
A peek into the future?
These methods are Outer Heavens's most advanced divination methods, but they may not be possible.
"Senior, what you mean is..." Xu Linglong asked tentatively, "Did you expect us to come?"
"I didn't count 'you'." Xuan Zhenzi shook his head slowly, but his eyes passed over everyone and fell directly on Ye Xuan.
"It's him."
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked into Xuan Zhenzi's deep eyes.
"Senior, are you sure?"
"No mistakes."
Xuan Zhenzi stood up, walked to the statue, stretched out his hand and lightly pressed somewhere on the base of the statue.
Buzz!
A mysterious light rose from the base and condensed into a line of simple characters in the air -
"The eternal thunder tribulation has finally transformed into the Dao. Xuanyuan Imperial Daughter is waiting for you to come."
The handwriting is vigorous, and every word seems to contain some mysterious and mysterious Daoist charm, which makes people's hearts shake as soon as they look at it.
"This is..."
Chu Wan'er's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at the line of words.
"This is the motto left by the ancestor with the last trace of his imperial power before his death." Xuan Zhenzi's voice was low, with deep awe.
"Back then, the First Ancestor and the first generation leader of the Eternal Imperial Clan clan joined forces to suppress Evil Emperor. The battle was extremely brutal. Although the First Ancestor won, he also suffered irreversible spiritual injuries and fell within a short period of time."
"Before he died, he took his last breath and cast Xuan Yuan Sky Peeking Technique, just to get a glimpse of the future of this world."
"Then, he left these sixteen words."
Xuan Zhenzi turned around and looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes burning.
"The eternal thunder tribulation will eventually transform into a Tao. This is the Thunder Dao Immortal Physique. It is recorded in ancient books that Immortal Physique will endure through countless calamities and will eventually transform into a Tao and become an immortal. In this world, only Immortal Physique is worthy of this saying."
"And the second sentence..."
He paused, his voice trembling slightly.
"Xuan Yuan Imperial Daughter is waiting for you to come. The ancestor predicted that one day in the future, there will be a being with thunder path Immortal Physique who will come to Jiu Hua Mountain. And my Xuan Yuan Imperial Clan contemporary Imperial Daughter will..."
He didn't say anything further, but the meaning was obvious.
There was silence in the palace.
Ye Xuan was startled and pointed at himself, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
"Senior, what you mean... is this person not me?"
Xuan Zhenzi looked at him and asked, "May I ask, Master, is there a second person in this world who possesses the Thunder Dao Immortal Physique?"
Ye Xuan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Chu Wan'er and others looked at each other and were stunned.
In this world, there is indeed only one Ye Xuan who owns Nine Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Immortal Body.
So what this proverb says...
"But..." Xu Linglong couldn't help but say, "The second half of this motto says 'Imperial Daughter is waiting for you to come', which means... marriage?"
She looked at Ye Xuan, then at Xuan Zhenzi, her beautiful eyes full of strange colors.
Xuan Zhenzi nodded solemnly. "Exactly."
"The ancestor predicted that Xuanyuan Imperial Daughter will be betrothed to the person Immortal Physique for..."
He paused and slowly uttered two words.
"Imperial Consort."
Imperial Consort?!
These two words were like Startling Thunder, exploding in the hall!
The four girls Chu Wan'er, Su Bingyan, Ji Youxuan, and Xu Linglong were all stunned, and their eyes all fell on Ye Xuan.
There was surprise, weirdness, narrowness, and a hint of...
It's so clear.
Ye Xuan: "..."
He touched his nose and didn't know what to say for a moment.
What is going on?
In the Fallen Emperor Secret Realm, evil spirits besieged him. He used Heavenly Tribulation to destroy the enemy, and his cultivation level broke through to the third Jie Tian level. He thought that the next step was to explore the core and look for opportunities.
In the end, he didn't find the opportunity. Instead, he was blocked in the palace by a Tao clan leader, saying that their emperor's daughter was waiting for him and wanted to marry him as the emperor's concubine?
"Ahem."
Chu Wan'er coughed slightly, breaking the strange silence.
She looked at Xuan Zhenzi and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible.
"Senior, of course we are willing to believe this prophecy. But this matter is of great importance after all, so Imperial Daughter she..."
"She will die soon."
Xuan Zhenzi suddenly spoke, interrupting Chu Wan'er's words.
There was an unconcealable sadness and urgency in that old voice.
"What?!"
Everyone's expression changed.
Xuan Zhenzi took a deep breath and stood up slowly.
Then, in everyone's shocked eyes, the Xuan Yuan Imperial Clan master Xuan Zhenzi, who had lived for countless thousands of years, knelt down heavily in front of Ye Xuan!
The skinny body fell to the ground, and its forehead touched the ground, making a dull sound.
"Sir! I beg you!"
"Save Imperial Daughter! Save her!"
This time I knelt down, I was caught off guard.
This request made me weep every word.
