The Eldest Young Lady Has Arrived—Everyone, Make Way

[As she was leaving, Xun'er once again cried her eyes out.]

[Gu Yuan even smiled as he comforted her, saying it was fine—she would feel better after crying for a while.]

[For the first time, you felt that Gu Yuan was a rather strange father.]

More than strange!

He was simply...

Completely unfit as a father!

The Ancient Clan elders were the same!

Xun'er's bloodline grade was second only to his!

Yet they actually made her carry out missions.

Were they out of their minds?!

[Xun'er tearfully told you that she would finish her mission and return as soon as possible. She wanted to marry you and bear your children...]

[After Xun'er left, you realized that your strength was still far too weak. Otherwise, neither Gu Yuan nor the Ancient Clan elders would have ignored your wishes.]

[Thus, you devoted all your time to cultivation.]

[Without anyone disturbing you, your cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.]

[Your realm rose again and again.]

[Gu Lie personally taught you combat skills.]

[You effortlessly mastered the Earth-tier combat skill, the Imperial Seal Art. With the strength of a five-star Dou King, you could defeat even a Dou King Peak expert!]

[What shocked the Ancient Clan most was that, despite being only at the Dou King realm, you had successfully mastered all five seals of the Imperial Seal Art!]

The Imperial Seal Art was a high-grade Earth-tier inherited combat skill of the Ancient Clan.

It was one of the Ancient Clan's most profound combat skills!

The minimum requirement to cultivate this combat skill was Dou King.

Because using it consumed an enormous amount of Dou Qi!

If one's realm was too low, a single seal could drain all the Dou Qi in one's body!

Therefore, even after reaching the Dou King level, one could only cultivate the first seal, the Mountain Splitting Seal.

Only after becoming a Dou Emperor could one cultivate the Sea Turning Seal.

Yet you had mastered all five seals while still a Dou King, and could even unleash them all in one go!

Your talent was practically heaven-defying!

[Gu Lie was so stunned that his jaw dropped. He immediately told Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan elders this news!]

[After Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan elders learned of it, their smiles bloomed as brilliantly as chrysanthemums.]

[They all said that you would surely become a supreme expert like the clan leader. The Ancient Clan's future belonged to Xun'er—and even more so, to you.]

[They eagerly imagined just how terrifyingly talented the children you and Xun'er would have after marrying might be!]

[The younger generation of the Ancient Clan regarded you as their role model.]

[Gu Qingyang and the others were green with envy.]

[Among the young women of the Ancient Clan, seeing that Gu Xun'er had left, many felt that their chance had come. They began visiting you frequently, trying to use this opportunity to deepen their relationship with you.]

[Some used the excuse of asking you to guide them in combat skills, while others asked for pointers on cultivation methods.]

[Some even wanted you to look at the new camisoles they had bought.]

[There were even some who, just to get close to you, did not hesitate to use beauty traps.]

Ye Hao: 0.0

How desperate were they?!

No!

They just wanted to improve too badly.

[Gradually, you discovered their intentions. Exhausted from dealing with them, you began refusing all visitors.]

[You discovered that without anyone disturbing you, your cultivation became even smoother and your progress even faster.]

[Often, you needed only a single day to comprehend an Earth-tier combat skill and use it.]

Perfect!

This was definitely thanks to Explosive Good Luck!

[Gu Lie was utterly stunned. He swore that in over a thousand years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a monster as you!]

[He repeatedly proposed before Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan Council of Elders that you be appointed the Ancient Clan's young clan leader!]

[He also urged the Ancient Clan Council of Elders to quickly arrange for someone to bring Xun'er back from the Northwest Continent!]

[So that the moment you grew up, you could marry.]

There was finally a sensible person!

He should have been brought back long ago.

[Not long afterward, the Ancient Clan held a grand ceremony and officially appointed you as the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan!]

[Your status was now equal to that of an elder of the Council of Elders!]

[Taking this opportunity, you asked Gu Yuan for the best secluded cultivation spot and began cultivating in seclusion!]

[In just one year, you successfully broke through to Dou Zong!]

[You became the first member in the Ancient Clan's history to cultivate from Dou Qi all the way up on your own, in the shortest amount of time!]

[You felt that remaining in the Ancient Clan was not good for your growth and tempering, so you proposed to Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan Council of Elders that you wished to go out and gain experience.]

[Unsurprisingly, upon hearing this, every elder of the Ancient Clan stepped forward to oppose it!]

[They said that as the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan, you bore the heavy responsibility of reviving the Ancient Clan and could not leave it!]

[They also said that if you went out with your current strength, you would be highly likely to become a target of the Soul Clan.]

[They demanded that you be responsible for yourself and for the Ancient Clan's future, and not be so selfish!]

Ye Hao: ...

He no longer knew how to describe his feelings at that moment.

Those old fogeys of the Ancient Clan really had some nerve!

They actually demanded that he take responsibility for the Ancient Clan's future?

How could they even say that?

Shouldn't the Ancient Clan's current state be blamed on those elders? On Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan Leader?

If he had joined forces with the Xiao Clan back then!

Perhaps the Soul Clan would already have been wiped out!

[You told them that flowers raised in a greenhouse could not withstand the wind and frost outside!]

[A flowerpot could not grow a towering tree. A courtyard could not train a steed that could travel a thousand miles!]

[Only real combat could allow one to rapidly improve oneself!]

[The Ancient Clan still refused!]

[And so, you could only continue cultivating in seclusion within the Ancient Clan!]

[One year later!]

[During a bloodline test, you tested positive for a Godly Bloodline!]

[It was not that your bloodline could only reach the Godly grade, but that the Ancient Clan's current methods could only detect up to the Godly grade!]

[This Godly Bloodline of yours was the finest bloodline grade ever recorded by the Ancient Clan!]

"So, as long as I lie low for another ten or twenty years, becoming a Dou Saint will be guaranteed. I might even reach Gu Yuan's level!"

As for becoming a Dou Emperor, that was naturally impossible!

Because...

The only remaining portions of Origin of the Emperor in the entire Dou Qi Continent had all been sealed by the Tushe Ancient Emperor within his stone statue.

Unless he could obtain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Ancient Emperor Jade.

[And so, you remained in the Ancient Clan for another year!]

[You successfully broke through to Dou Zun! You became the youngest and fastest-rising Dou Zun expert in the Ancient Clan's history!]

[You felt that your strength was now sufficient for you to travel the Dou Qi Continent and gain experience!]

[While the Ancient Clan elders were holding an elders' meeting, you left the Ancient Clan.]

[You planned to go to the Northwest Continent to see Xun Er, then take her along to gain experience.]

Ye Hao: "Are we planning to gallop off together like the Condor Heroes?"

The simulation did not show any further news of the Soul Clan.

But based on what he knew about them, they were definitely plotting something nasty.

[You disguised yourself and changed your appearance.]

[You asked around about where you could find a Space Wormhole that could transport you to the Northwest Continent.]

[You took a Space Wormhole and arrived at Horizon City on the Northwest Continent.]

[You walked alone onto a bustling street, feeling refreshed and invigorated.]

[Just then, the street suddenly descended into chaos.]

[You turned your head and saw a valiant young girl riding a red horse, charging over from the far end of the street and knocking over countless passersby.]

[Not only did she show no intention of stopping, she kept whipping the horse's rear with the whip in her hand.]

[She shouted, "The Eldest Young Lady has arrived! Everyone, move aside!"]

Ye Hao: "?"

What the hell?

Are you Sun Shangxiang or something?!
