Having Been Sealed for Ten Thousand Years, He Emerged Invincible!

Middle Thousand Provinces, Xuanqiong Realm.

The Xiao Family Divine Dynasty.

The ancient ice, frozen for millennia, melted silently, like a veil shed by time, revealing the figure of a young man sealed within.

Xiao Duantian slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils seemed to be the rotation of galaxies and the birth and death of the Great Dao.

He exhaled softly, his breath condensing into white mist in the silent ice cave, carrying the vicissitudes of time sealed for Myriad Ages.

"Ten thousand years... it's finally here."

Xiao Duantian murmured to himself, his voice hoarse from just waking up, yet containing a certain indescribable Dao Rhyme.

He is not a native soul of this world.

Although his memories of his past life were blurred, the intelligence he possessed from another world allowed him to display extraordinary comprehension from a young age.

It was precisely this extraordinary quality that attracted him to a seal that would last for ten thousand years.

Xiao Duantian comes from the "Xuanqiong Xiao Clan"—a supreme divine dynasty located in Middle Thousand Provinces, which all the heavens and the Hundred Realms must look up to!

Although nominally based in Middle Thousand Provinces.

However, the territory ruled by the Xiao Dynasty had long transcended the concept of an ordinary Lineage.

Under its command are 360 Lower Realms, each of which is a self-contained Qiankun, containing countless Small World and Life Star.

Ancient poems are sung:

"Within his sleeve, Qiankun can swallow the sun and moon; within his palm, he can hold the Milky Way." This describes the supreme Great Divine Ability of the Xiao Royal Clan, who can pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon, and control the cycle of birth and death in Heavens and Myriad Realms!

The reason why the Xiao Dynasty can possess such magnificent power and dominate the world lies in the combination of two supreme beings - the Spirit Venerable Lingxiao and the Spirit Venerable Aotian.

Fifteenth Realm Spirit Venerable!

This is the ultimate realm of Dao that this Middle Thousand Provinces can bear. Its Law Follows Words, and it wields the rules. It is a being that stands above billions of living beings in the clouds.

Having reached this level, the path ahead is clear. All that remains is to take that final step, to overcome the supreme tribulation, and you can break free of the shackles of the realm and ascend to the legendary Upper Thousand Provinces, a place that only the strongest can tread!

The two of them were both supreme figures who each ruled over a unique Dao Lineage.

The powerful alliance of the Great Power ultimately laid the foundation for the Xuanqiong Xiao Clan's vast empire spanning 360 states, forging this unsinkable behemoth across the heavens.

Wherever the laws and decrees of the divine dynasty extend, all ancestral sects submit.

A single word from the Xiao family can determine the rise and fall of Hundred Realms; a single thought from the Spirit Venerable can decide the fate and reincarnation of trillions of living beings!

However, this glory and talent became Xiao Duantian's "original sin" in his childhood.

Memories flood back like a tide...

"Duantian, my son, your talent... is too heaven-defying, too much for the Great Dao to bear. The rules of this world cannot even contain your destiny. If you force yourself to grow, you will surely incur the jealousy of the heavens, and you may even perish."

"Your mother must seal you away for ten thousand years, awaiting the change of the Heavenly Dao and the loosening of its rules. Only then will you truly have the opportunity to soar to the heavens."

Thus, Xiao Duantian slumbered within this ancient ice for millennia, until this day.

Pulling his thoughts back, Xiao Duantian felt the vast, ocean-like power rapidly awakening within his body, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

After waiting for millennia, he can finally embark on this magnificent path of cultivation!

"Welcome back, young master!"

A clear and melodious sound rang out, and several maids who had been standing by bowed gracefully.

These maids were all exceptionally beautiful and ethereal; in the outside world, they would all be considered the pride of heaven. Yet, they were willing to wait here for ten thousand years, just to serve him alone.

Two head maids stepped forward and carefully removed the remaining ice crystals from his body, gently bathing and dressing him.

The warm Spirit Spring washed away the dust of millennia, revealing his upright, perfectly proportioned body.

The maids blushed slightly, their beautiful eyes filled with awe and admiration. As they adjusted his robes, Xiao Duantian casually stroked their slender waists or pert buttocks, causing the maids' delicate bodies to tremble slightly. However, they dared not flinch, instead pressing their bodies even closer, allowing this noble young master to enjoy this moment of romance after leaving the pass.

Xiao Duantian remained calm, as if he were used to this.

Within the Xiao family, he wielded supreme power.

After bathing and changing, his Black Brocade Robe accentuated his handsome appearance and imposing demeanor.

Just then, a dazzling golden bridge pierced through the endless void, ignoring all restrictions, and descended directly outside the ice cave.

The Golden Bridge was constructed of pure divine power, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious colors. Illusory images of dragons and phoenixes circled on both sides of the bridge, accompanied by booming Daoist sounds.

At the end of the golden bridge, two Divine General clad in golden armor, their auras as deep and boundless as the ocean, knelt on one knee, their voices booming like bells:

"Welcome back, Young Master! His Spirit Venerable Lord has summoned you to the 'Lingxiao Divine Palace'!"

"Understood." Xiao Duantian replied calmly, as if the pomp and circumstance before him were nothing out of the ordinary.

He took a step forward, and his figure appeared on the golden bridge.

The golden bridge seemed to possess a spirit, carrying him through layers of space in an instant.

The next moment, he found himself in a magnificent and indescribable palace.

The Xuanqiong Divine Palace hangs high in the sky, its divine radiance illuminating Hundred Realms.

Deep within the palace, upon the divine throne, sat a woman of unparalleled beauty.

She was shrouded in a hazy Dao Rhyme, and although her face was not clearly visible, the aura she naturally exuded made all things tremble.

This is Xiao Duantian's mother, the supreme ruler of the Xuanqiong Xiao Clan — the Spirit Venerable Aotian, Xie Yuechan!

"Duantian, my son."

Xie Yuechan spoke slowly, her clear and dignified voice carrying a tenderness unique to a mother.

As she finished speaking, the Dao Rhyme around her subsided slightly, revealing her true appearance.

The beautiful woman was dressed in a black palace gown with phoenix patterns. Her face was peerless, and her brows conveyed both maternal gentleness and supreme majesty that ruled over Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Gazing at her beloved son, whom she hadn't seen for millennia, Xie Yuechan's eyes were filled with concern and solemnity.

She slowly descended from the throne, approached Xiao Duantian, and said softly:

"You've suffered under this ten-thousand-year seal. Now that the rules of heaven and earth are loosening and Great Era is about to begin, it is time for you, the dragon, to return to the vast ocean."

Xiao Duantian bowed respectfully, but his gaze was as sharp and unparalleled as a drawn sword.

"Mother, Duan Tian... has returned."

Xie Yuechan gently raised her hand to straighten her son's already perfectly neat clothes, and continued:

"The Great Dao Anomaly, the Heavens are Dust-Covered, and a wisp of supreme Qi Yun has quietly descended upon the Lower Realm, the Xuanhuang World."

The beautiful woman's eyes were deep, and her fingertips lightly traced Xiao Duantian's cheek.

"It was your father, who went into seclusion, who spent a thousand years of cultivation to deduce the Great Dao and finally glimpsed this fortuitous opportunity."

"The concept of Qi Yun is inherently mysterious, though it is unknown why it descended upon the Savage Land of the Lower Realm."

"But since it has come into existence, it should belong to my Xiao family."

Her tone turned serious, carrying an undeniable authority. "Great Era begins, and Myriad Tribulations follow. Within this cataclysm that sweeps across all realms and ages lies fortuitous opportunity that Transcend Epoch."

"Duan Tian, Lower Realm immediately, find this Qi Yun, and claim it for yourself. Mother has already made arrangements for your Lower Realm; go and return quickly, and be careful in everything you do."

"Catastrophe?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Duantian's eyes sharpened as he grasped his mother's hand. "Mother, rest assured, this calamity is also my time to rise like a dragon. This fortuitous opportunity Born to Respond to Calamity is destined to be mine."
