He Was the Lord of the Desolate Heavens?

Dugu Yuqing was also shocked at this moment.

As expected!

A figure like Master, every gesture he makes is related to the overall situation of heaven and earth and the transformation of the universe!

Previously, my Senior Brother and I had guessed that our master was a powerful human being who was protecting humanity!

Now it seems that it was indeed true!

The teacher's grand strategy involves the rise and fall of countless nations!

At this moment, Ji Changming continued:

"When our clan arrives in this world one day, we will surely come to repay Senior Li's Dade!"

Dugu Yuqing smiled and said:

"My master lives in seclusion in the mortal world and does not wish to be disturbed by outsiders, so there is no need for that."

They had already arrived at the village entrance. Dugu Yuqing immediately snapped his fingers, and Yellow Heaven Prefecture's coordinates were given to the three of them.

"The descendants of the Ji family reside here, so I won't see you off any further."

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming immediately bowed deeply to Dugu Yuqing and said:

Thank you!

The three of them immediately turned and left.

After leaving, the three of them first returned to the location of the main force.

"Elder, have you found out the truth?"

Upon seeing the three return, Ji Yuanlin hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.

Seeing that the others hadn't returned for a long time, he prepared to take people to look for them.

"The investigation is complete."

Ji Changming said solemnly:

"A revered elder lives in seclusion here. Our return is entirely due to his assistance, so we must not disturb him!"

"Let's go, we already know where our clansmen who remained in this realm are!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanlin and the others were all quite surprised.

A senior expert?

For Ji Changming to say such a thing, it means... he must be a Saintly Realm expert!

Could it be that the Holy Path still exists in this realm? Shouldn't it have been completely wiped out in that cataclysm?

However, Ji Yuanlin and the others did not ask any further questions.

The group immediately followed Ji Changming and the others and left.

They headed straight towards Yellow Heaven Prefecture!

As they moved further away from Profound Heaven Prefecture, that mysterious aura of the Holy Path began to thin out.

"Indeed, that Small Mountain Village contains the Source of Saint Dao..."

Ji Qingyue murmured.

"But that Small Mountain Village doesn't look like a place with the Source of Saint Dao at all. Our Ji Clan's Ji River, the Luo family's Luo River, the Qin family's Buzhou Mountain, etc., are all famous mountains and rivers, born of heaven and earth..."

Ji Qingke, however, looked puzzled in her large eyes.

After all, in the world's understanding, the Source of Saint Dao is born of heaven and earth and hidden in those blessed lands where creation bestows divine favor.

Ordinary terrain simply cannot conceal or contain the Source of Saint Dao!

Ji Changming sighed deeply and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, perhaps... the entire mountain village is the Source of Saint Dao!"

"This Source of Saint Dao is unprecedented and unheard of... It is likely only recorded in the oldest secrets!"

Upon hearing this, both Ji Qingyue and Ji Qingke were taken aback.

The entire mountain village is the Source of Saint Dao?

This is terrifying!

We've arrived.

Meanwhile, the Ji family had already arrived in Yellow Heaven Prefecture.

They could already see the mountain range ahead.

Faintly, the sound of rushing water could be heard from within the mountains!

"Huh? What's going on? Why is there such a strong aura of sainthood here?"

Ji Changming was immediately surprised and said, "Could it be that the clansmen who stayed behind back then actually found another Source of Saint Dao?"

"That's impossible!"

For a moment, everyone was extremely solemn!

"Let's go take a look!"

And at this moment.

Yellow Heaven Prefecture, nestled within a mountain range!

Ji Yuanqing stood before a surging river!

The mighty river, ever growing stronger, circulates around this mountain range, generating countless streams of celestial energy, and... the aura of the sacred path!

And the source of this river is even more astonishing, because... it's a painting!

A painting stands suspended in the air, depicting a rushing river.

The river water here seems to flow directly from the painting.

A painting...

It created a river!

If this gets out, it will surely alarm the Immortal Realm.

There was no one around except Ji Yuanqing.

Ji Yuanqing did not allow any of the clan's members to participate in this matter.

Because this matter is so important, it can be considered truly top secret.

After he acquired the painting and brought it back, he was astonished to discover that the river in the painting could actually be reflected in reality.

This is terrifying...

Ji Yuanqing hesitated for a long time before deciding to let reality take its course!

He believed that this must be a gift from Senior Li, the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!

Now, the great river has been formed!

He named this river "Desolate Heaven River"!

Because it was written by the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!

"The river in the painting was drawn by Senior Li based on the Ji River of our tribe. Therefore, the river reflected in the painting may also possess some of the power of the Ji River?"

Standing beneath the source, Ji Yuanqing was filled with emotion, his face etched with excitement.

Then he stepped forward and put the painting away.

The river water released by this painting is already sufficient.

Recently, the ordinary mountains and rivers where the Ji Clan originally lived have undergone astonishing changes, with the Spiritual Qi of immortals becoming extremely rich and the aura of sainthood permeating the air.

"Perhaps Senior Li bestowed upon us a path to the Source of Saint Dao?"

He couldn't help but guess!

Therefore, he admired Senior Li even more.

Awe-inspiring, truly awe-inspiring!

This kind of person must be someone who can be considered an equal to the Old Ancestor of the Ji family, right? He couldn't help but wonder!

"Chieftain!"

At that moment, a loud shout rang out from outside.

Ji Yuanqing put away the painting.

"Qingbin, what's wrong?"

Ji Yuanqing looked at the young man running towards him and asked in confusion.

The young man Ji Qingbin, was visibly excited and said:

"Old Ancestor... the Holy Descent has begun... the clansmen have returned!"

"They're already outside!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was greatly surprised!

The holy descent begins... the people return...

This is a big deal!

"Take me there quickly!"

He immediately shouted!

Now.

Outside the mountain gate.

Ji Changming and his group looked at the mountain range before them, their eyes filled with sighs.

The scattered buildings gave no indication of the power and prestige of the Ji family, a once- Saint Dao forces.

Instead, it resembled a dilapidated, long-deceased family home.

The young people of the Ji family had all gathered, and they looked at these unfamiliar guests with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation on their faces!

"Third Grandfather, this river... this river feels so similar to the Ji River to me?"

Standing before the mountain gate, Ji Changming and the others could already see the long river that encircled the mountain range.

Ji Qingke spoke with a suspicious look.

This river looks so much like the Ji River!

You could even say... exactly the same!

"The Ji River is the Source of Saint Dao. Could it be that when we fled to a hidden place in the past, our elders took a portion of the Ji River and left it in this world, where it evolved into this river?"

Ji Qingyue also guessed that this was very likely.

However, Ji Changming frowned deeply.

That great calamity nearly extinguished the Holy Path, forcing everyone to flee... Who would dare leave the seeds of the Holy Path in this world?

That's suicide!

How did this long river come to be here?

"The clan leader has arrived!"

At that moment, a loud shout rang out.

Ji Yuanqing and Ji Qingbin finally arrived.

Ji Yuanqing was extremely excited. He stepped forward and saw Ji Changming and the others!

In that instant, he was absolutely certain!

These are my own people!

"You... are the Ji Clan!"

Ji Yuanqing spoke with great excitement, taking a sudden step forward and tightly grasping Ji Changming's hand, saying:

"The Ji Clan has finally returned!"

At this moment, tears welled up in Ji Changming's eyes as well!

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed!

Although we are of the same race, we are separated by two different realms!

"You guys have worked hard!"

Ji Changming also spoke excitedly, saying:

"Where are the clan elders? Elder Ji Tianjing and the others... still alive?"

When the Ji family fled in the past, many elders, and even the Grand Elder, personally stayed behind to guard this realm.

Ji Tianjing is the Primogenitor of this lineage!

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Ji Yuanqing's eyes, and he said:

"They're all dead... Old Ancestor Ji Tianjing and other officials didn't escape the calamity. Their descendants once established the Heavenly Realm in the lower realm, but unfortunately, they were harmed by other ancient clans. The Heavenly Realm was destroyed, and the clan's lineage was severed for thousands of generations. Almost everyone forgot their identity... I only learned everything after activating the Primordial Ancestor Stone Token!"

In just a few words, he revealed the bitterness of hundreds of thousands of years!

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming's eyes widened in surprise.

Ancestors died.

The coordinate boundary was destroyed.

The clansmen had even forgotten their own identities, only to learn them again...

So much hardship and bitterness went into this!

"Please come in, please come in!"

Ji Yuanqing hurriedly invited them inside.

Soon, in the simple hall.

Ji Yuanqing recounted the history of their branch of the family, piece by piece.

"... The elders who stayed behind in the past are all dead, and the lineage has been broken..."

"In order to cultivate Primordial level powerhouse, countless immortals from the First Heavenly Realm sacrificed themselves, forging the Immortal White Bone Dao Palace with their own bones, finally giving birth to a King of Immortality. However, he was ultimately assassinated by the other three realms..."

"After the First Heavenly Realm was destroyed, our clan was scattered throughout the Yellow Heaven Realm... If it weren't for the intervention of the Lord of the Desolate Heavens, perhaps we still wouldn't know who we are today!"

Ji Yuanqing said with emotion!

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming, "The Lord of the Desolate Heavens?"

Ji Yuanqing nodded, and said with a sigh:

"The master of this vast wilderness is none other than the Lord of the Desolate Heavens!"

"That old man... possesses extraordinary abilities!"

"He saved our clan, and moreover, he destroyed the other three great Three Great Heavenly Realms and seized their stone tokens..."

Ji Changming and the others were immediately shocked.

"So he... is the Lord of the Desolate Heavens?!"

Ji Changming was speechless!
