"Rumble rumble"

Just as Yun Shan was full of doubt, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. The world darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and all living beings froze at that moment.

"Roar"

A dragon's roar shook the heavens, its sound emanating supreme pressure, forcing everyone to bow their heads.

"What on earth is going on?" Emperor Gama felt a fear he had never experienced before stir deep within his heart, and his legs began to tremble.

Like Emperor Gama, the patriarchs of the other great families also felt an urge to prostrate themselves, all startled.

"Ding"

Received 100 Shock Points from Emperor Gama.

Received 100 Shock Points from Jia Xingtian.

Received 300 Shock Points from Nalan Jie.

Received 200 Shock Points from Ma Fa.

Received...

In an instant, Ye Qianqian gained over a thousand Shock Points.

"They're here, they're finally here. Ancestor didn't lie to me," Yun Shan rejoiced. His grand-ancestor was about to descend upon Misty Cloud Mountain.

"Roar"

Another dragon's cry. The sky seemed to split open, and countless rays of auspicious light and spiritual energy shone from the opening, bringing life to all things.

Everyone looked up at the sky and discovered that ten black dots were flying down from the opening. As the dots drew closer, people could see nine colossal dragons, their claws and teeth bared, swooping down.

These nine dragons were all different in appearance. Some were covered in golden scales, exuding sacred majesty. Others were entirely black, looking imposing and domineering. There were also red ones, green ones, almost every color of the rainbow. They were all bound by two golden chains, which in turn were tethering a massive coffin.

"Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin?" Everyone on Misty Cloud Mountain was once again shocked. What kind of powerful being would be so imposing even in death, using nine dragons to pull his coffin?

Such dragons were at least seventh-tier magical beasts, yet they were willingly serving as coffin-pulling beasts. This was terrifying.

"Look quickly, the flight path of those nine dragons seems to be heading towards Misty Cloud Mountain," Pill King Gu He's eyes nearly popped out as he pointed to the sky.

"What?"

Everyone was startled again.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the Host for receiving 500 Shock Points from Gu He.

Congratulations to the Host for receiving 300 Shock Points from Jia Xingtian.

Congratulations to the Host for receiving 1000 Shock Points from Yun Shan.

Congratulations to the Host for receiving... from Yun Yun.

As the enormous coffin flew closer, Yun Shan was already prepared. He shouted, "Disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect, have you forgotten the incantation and movements I just taught you?"

"We haven't forgotten, Ancestor!"

"Good, then do it with me!" Yun Shan, following the incantation and formation steps passed down in a dream by his grand-ancestor Yun Potian, lined up with the numerous Misty Cloud Sect disciples and roared.

"The vast prairie is my love, blooming flowers lie at the foot of the rolling mountains, what kind of rhythm is the most swaying, what kind of singing is the most joyful..."

Yun Shan and the disciples completely disregarded their image, singing and dancing on Misty Cloud Mountain with unified movements, once again shocking the patriarchs of the various great families.

What in the world was going on with this Yun Shan?

Ignoring their bewildered expressions, Yun Shan quickly sang towards the nine dragons in the sky: "You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me keep you with my heart, singing the most dazzling ethnic style, letting love sweep away all the dust..."

"Boom"

As Yun Shan finished singing, the nine dragons seemed to have heard their command and slowly flew down towards Yun Shan.

As the nine dragons landed, the golden heavenly coffin behind them slowly opened. Instantly, purple energy flowed from the east, and a new world dawned. Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, staring intently at the heavenly coffin. Even Vulture Protector of the Hall of Souls, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but tremble.

"A dream without years, what year is it today?"

A solemn and sacred voice emanated from the coffin, scaring everyone into a state of terror.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the Host for receiving 200 Shock Points from Vulture Protector.

Congratulations to the Host for receiving 500 Shock Points from Yun Shan.

Congratulations to the Host for receiving 300 Shock Points from Yun Yun.

Congratulations to the Host for receiving...

With just one sentence, Ye Qianqian gained a large amount of profit again.

Everyone was speculating about what kind of powerful being was inside the coffin. But when the special effects around the coffin disappeared, it once again shattered everyone's perception.

"A ti-ti-tiny little girl?" Everyone was collectively dumbfounded.

Yun Shan also felt like he was dreaming. How could the Ancestor he'd heard about from his own ancestor, Yun Potian, be a little girl?

Ye Qianqian carefully jumped off the tall coffin. Seeing the disappointed looks on everyone's faces, she felt awkward. Was her grand entrance really that disappointing?

"You guys go play." She casually deactivated the special effect of the prop. The nine-headed giant dragon acted obediently, then flew into the sky and vanished without a trace. At the same time, the magnificent multicolored light that had illuminated the heavens and earth also disappeared.

Seeing that everyone was still bewildered, and Yun Shan still held a hint of doubt, Ye Qianqian's eyes darted around. She asked the crowd, "Excuse me, little children up ahead, what is this place?"

This statement left everyone speechless. A little girl who looked about six or seven years old was calling a group of old men "little children."

"How dare you, little girl! Where did you come from? Do you know what this place is, to dare to be so disrespectful to us?"

Seeing that what emerged from the coffin wasn't some monstrous beast, but just a little girl, the crowd was no longer as fearful. Moreover, they couldn't detect any Dou Qi fluctuations from this little girl.

The patriarch of the Imperial Capital's Li Family, exuding the aura of a Dou Spirit, stepped forward as a trailblazer.

Everyone else secretly watched and waited. Even Yun Shan intended to let Li Wen probe her a bit.

Seeing someone about to expose her, Ye Qianqian remained unfazed. She put on a smile like a wise elder and secretly activated the Realm Experience Card.

"Ding!"

Congratulations to the host for successfully using the Realm Experience Card. Your current strength is One-star Dou Venerate. Experience duration: 0:05.

Although it was only five seconds, it was enough.

Ye Qianqian pouted and blew a gentle breath from hundreds of meters away.

Instantly, a fierce wind swept across the land, kicking up sand and stones, making everyone sway. The Li Family patriarch, who had been shouting moments ago, let out a scream as he was blown into the sky by the gust of wind, disappearing to an unknown location.

"Holy crap!"

Everyone's eyes bulged in fear. Just one breath possessed such immense power.

"Ding!"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200 Shock Points from Yun Shan.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200 Shock Points from Jia Xingtian.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining... from Jia Ma Qing...

"You children are quite good. You weren't blown away by my breath. Truly promising youngsters!" Ye Qianqian praised, looking at the group of stunned old men.

This time, Yun Shan completely believed her. He hurriedly stepped forward. "Yun Shan, former Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, along with my personal disciple and current Sect Master, Yun Yun, pay our respects to the Ancestral Grandmother."

"Teacher, you..." Yun Yun was terrified. What was her teacher doing, kneeling before a child in front of so many people?

"Yun'er, quickly kneel and kowtow to the Ancestral Grandmother!"

In the eyes of the crowd, the strength of the little girl before them was indeed unfathomable. She could easily destroy them. But what was this old man Yun Shan doing? Even if he wanted to curry favor, he didn't have to act like this.

Yun Shan ignored the murmurs of the crowd. As the former Sect Master, he ordered all the Misty Cloud Sect disciples to kneel and kowtow.

In just a short while, Ye Qianqian had accumulated over ten thousand Shock Points.

"It seems Yun Shan, that old fellow, is quite respectful of his teachers!" Ye Qianqian chuckled inwardly.

In the book, Yun Shan was originally a villain, but who knew that everything he did was for the Misty Cloud Sect.

This was great. She had initially thought it would be troublesome to deceive people, but with Yun Shan's repeated divine assists, it became much easier for her.

"Ding!"

Due to the host successfully deceiving over ten thousand people, the system has rewarded one Dou Qi Gift Pack. Please check it.

"Dou Qi Gift Pack?" Ye Qianqian looked at the system space.

This Dou Qi Gift Pack contained a large amount of Dou Qi. After using it, one's realm could be instantly raised by several levels.

"Use."

With a command, Ye Qianqian's Dou Qi realm continuously climbed. A stage of Dou Disciple, peak Dou Disciple, One-star Dou Practitioner, Nine-star Dou Practitioner, peak Dou Practitioner, One-star Dou Master... It finally stopped at the One-star Dou Master realm.

At this moment, she felt filled with power. The power from the Realm Experience Card was immense, but it was all superficial. Now, she truly felt what it was like to have genuine strength.

"Hmm, so you are descendants of my disciples. You may all rise!" Ye Qianqian waved her hand pretentiously, then sighed, "I can't believe that after thousands of years, my descendants have fallen so low, only reaching the Dou Ancestor and Dou Emperor realms."

"What? Yun Shan is already a Dou Ancestor?" Hearing Ye Qianqian's words, the patriarchs of the other families in the Jia Ma Empire, along with Jia Ma Qing and Jia Xingtian, couldn't help but their pupils contracted.

They knew that the current method for the Jia Ma Empire to counterbalance the Misty Cloud Sect was only through Jia Xingtian's comparable realm to Yun Shan. If Yun Shan were to advance to Dou Ancestor, it would be a nightmare for the Jia Ma imperial family.

Yun Shan nodded respectfully, "Ancestral Grandmother has a keen eye. Your disciple has indeed been fortunate enough to advance to Dou Ancestor, and it is all thanks to the blessings and protection of Ancestral Grandmother."

"Hmph!" This statement made things worse. As soon as he said it, Ye Qianqian immediately snorted coldly, "My blessings and protection? I think you used some unorthodox methods to achieve a false Dou Ancestor realm, didn't you?"

A false Dou Ancestor realm, in plain terms, was not a true Dou Ancestor, but a state between Dou Ancestor and peak Dou Emperor. There were huge hidden dangers in the Dou Qi within their bodies. If they encountered a Dou Ancestor of the same level, they would only be crushed.

To strengthen the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan chose to align with the Hall of Souls, and thus consumed Vulture Protector's Black Star Pill. He claimed to have become a Dou Ancestor powerhouse without any issues, but in reality, his body had already been secretly eroded by the Hall of Souls' dark Dou Qi. This kind of chronic poison, if fully unleashed, would only turn him into a walking corpse in the future.

"Ancestral Grandmother, I, I, I..." Yun Shan was filled with panic. His actions had now been discovered by his Ancestral Grandmother, and he was terrified of being annihilated on the spot.

"Enough, enough."

Seeing that the intimidation had achieved its effect, Ye Qianqian quickly gave Yun Shan a sweet date.

"Considering you did it for the sect, I will not pursue your mistakes. Little Shanzi, you must perform well. In the future, I will lead you and your disciples' descendants to regain control of the Dou Qi Continent." After speaking, Ye Qianqian's gaze swept around, looking at the group of stunned old men, and said with a smile, "However, to control the world, let's first gain control of this Jia Ma Empire!"
