My Master, the Immortal Great Emperor!

The An Clan ancestral grounds!

Inside an ancient grand hall.

The three ancestors of the An Clan had been residing here ever since they emerged from seclusion.

At this moment, An Shanyuan had already returned.

The news he brought back made the blood of the entire younger generation of the An Clan boil with excitement.

Their An Clan was going to challenge the combined forces of the various powers in the cultivation world with the strength of a single clan.

What a magnificent feat this was!

What incredible boldness!!

While this matter was a move born of desperation, it truly greatly boosted the morale and cohesion of the An Clan members.

Of course, most of the older generation, who knew some of the inside story, remained heavy-hearted.

They knew that this calamity had only just begun...

An Shanyuan arrived at the place where the ancestors resided and reported the day's situation to the three ancestors of the An Clan.

He recounted everything in detail, leaving nothing out.

Suddenly, among the three ancestors, the hot-tempered second ancestor, An Yudu, had a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

"Hmph!"

"A fine Ye Qingge, a fine Liyue Immortal Dynasty!"

"If our An Clan can survive this tribulation, I will certainly storm their gates and wipe out the Liyue Immortal Dynasty!"

An Yudu's killing intent erupted, and a sliver of his aura leaked out, causing An Shanyuan, who was standing to the side, to stumble back several steps.

A look of shock flashed in his eyes!

An Shanyuan knew that the three ancestors possessed extraordinary cultivation; many years ago, they were already existences at the Mahayana Realm.

However, after they emerged from seclusion this time.

He was not clear whether the strength of the three ancestors had greatly improved after such a long period of seclusion.

Because, in the later stages of cultivation, the higher the realm, the more difficult it becomes.

It is not something that can be improved simply by long-term seclusion; some people, even after a thousand years of seclusion, see no progress in their cultivation at all.

But at this moment, the cultivation An Yudu displayed was at least at the late stage of the Mahayana Realm.

He was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Tribulation Transcendence!

An Shanyuan felt his heart settle and congratulated him, "Congratulations to the ancestor for your great advancement in cultivation. This time, our An Clan will surely be able to survive this tribulation!"

After a moment of silence.

The eldest, An Yujun, waved his hand and said, "Shanyuan, you may withdraw first!"

An Shanyuan bowed and took his leave!

In the vast grand hall, only the three ancestors of the An Clan remained.

An Yujun looked at his two younger brothers, shook his head, and said with some regret:

"This time, we must win; failure is not an option!"

"It is just a pity that with our current strength, we still cannot guarantee a victory!"

An Yudu was about to speak.

An Yujun interrupted him directly, saying, "Do not underestimate the cultivators of the world!"

"Not to mention anything else, just a few days ago, a Great Emperor appeared!"

At this time, the usually silent An Yuheng also spoke:

"That is correct. Currently, the three of us are only at the late stage of the Mahayana Realm. It will be very difficult to win at least two of the matches!"

As his voice fell, the grand hall fell into silence.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across the faces of the three ancestors. If they could only be given more time.

They would certainly be able to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!

By then, with three Great Emperors in one family, it would be unimaginable how glorious the An Clan would become.

Unfortunately, now, because of a single diary, everything was different.

A long time passed.

Outside the window, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

A flash of resolve appeared in An Yujun's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Things have reached this point; there is no other way. We can only fight to the death!"

As his words fell, a look of solemnity appeared on the faces of all three.

An Yuheng took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, are you saying we should use that thing?"

"In that case, there is no turning back for us!"

An Yudu's expression shifted between light and shadow, his eyes flickering constantly as he hesitated in his heart.

"Sigh..."

An Yujun sighed once more, yet he said with absolute determination: "We haven't had a way back for a long time; this is the only thing we can do right now!"

"No matter what choice we make, it is a fight to the death."

An Yudu gritted his teeth and added: "True, refining the Alien Seed to forcibly break through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm is our only glimmer of hope."

"As long as we maintain control when the time comes and don't let it be exposed, no one will be able to discover anything..."

Just then, a cool night breeze blew in.

An Yujun nodded: "Let's do it then. We only have three days left."

"Hurry and make the most of the time!"

A moment later, the three ancestors departed, heading toward the deepest seclusion grounds of the clan.

The next day.

Deep within the mountains surrounding Cangwu Mountain.

All the factions that had arrived were gathered together, having sent representatives to one of the largest peaks.

Whether on the ground or in the sky, the area was packed with people.

Various flying magical artifacts drifted through the air.

They came in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes.

The purpose of gathering here was, naturally, to decide who would be sent to face the three ancestors of the An Clan.

This was a major event.

Of course, most people were just here to join in the excitement.

Everyone knew that the three people chosen would inevitably come from the top-tier major factions.

Only those top-tier factions possessed the powerful experts capable of dealing with the three ancestors of the An Clan.

For ordinary people to go would be no different from throwing their lives away.

However, in a corner of the sky...

On a leaf-shaped magical artifact several zhang in size, Ye Xi and Qiao Xi sat facing each other.

In front of them sat a large iron pot.

The broth in the pot was bubbling and hissing, sending fragrant steam wafting into the air.

Surrounding it were various slices of meat, spirit fruits, and vegetables.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and smiled: "It smells so good! What is this called?"

Ye Xi smiled proudly and said: "Never tried it? This is called Hot Pot. Once the water boils, you just dip the ingredients in..."

"It truly is world-class!"

Qiao Xi touched her slightly rounded waist and couldn't help but ask: "Where on earth do you come up with all these strange and novel ways of eating?"

"Hehe, they're original, of course. Alright, hurry up and eat!"

"I'm telling you, you have to eat Hot Pot while it's hot."

Completely ignoring the surprised gazes of others, the two of them began to feast with gusto.

Below.

A clearing had been carved out at the summit of the peak.

At this moment, dozens of figures sat in chairs, arranged in a semicircle.

Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge were among them.

After several rounds of discussion.

Two candidates had already been successfully selected.

The first was that mysterious Great Emperor whose form was shrouded in black mist.

With a Great Emperor willing to take action personally, naturally, no one would raise an objection; it was undisputed.

As for the second person, it was Cang Yuan, the Grand Elder of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

Cang Yuan's strength was formidable and beyond doubt; he was a peak existence even among those in the Mahayana Realm.

He had sparred with several other Mahayana Realm experts from other factions.

He had emerged victorious in every encounter with overwhelming strength.

Therefore, this candidate was also confirmed.

However, the final spot left everyone in a difficult position.

It wasn't because there were no candidates left.

Rather, it was because Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge had both stepped forward, each determined to claim this last spot for themselves.

Regarding the strength of these two...

No one had any real doubts, but they refused to yield to each other, looking as if they might start a war at the slightest disagreement.

Ye Qingge said coldly:

"This last spot, I am determined to have. Your Jade Pool Holy Land already has one person participating; do you intend to monopolize them all?"

Yuan Ruoyu's expression remained calm as she replied indifferently:

"Everything is decided by strength. If anyone from your Immortal Dynasty can defeat Cang Yuan, feel free to step forward!"

Ye Qingge was furious: "I will fight you right now!"

Yuan Ruoyu's aura erupted: "Hmph, as if I'm afraid of you!"

Seeing that the two were truly about to fight, the others hurriedly stepped in to mediate.

"Mind the impact! Mind the impact, everyone!"

If these two were to start fighting, it would severely damage the morale of the Allied Army!

In truth, the reason both of them were so insistent on fighting for it!

Deep down, it was all because the matter concerned Lin Feng, and they were uneasy about leaving their hopes entirely in someone else's hands.

Otherwise, given their noble status, they would never have made such a scene.

"This last spot, I am taking it!"

"If you want to fight, then fight; no need for more words!"

Just as the two were about to clash again, the crowd rushed to pull them apart.

At the same time, Qiao Xi was eating Hot Pot, saying with great interest: "Look, they're about to fight!"

Ye Xi took a closer look, hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, and thought to himself that he had been enjoying the meal so much he almost missed the main event!

He glanced at Qiao Xi and said urgently: "They really are about to fight; I have to go and persuade them. You keep eating!"

"Hey—"

Qiao Xi opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she realized that Ye Xi had already vanished from her side.

Turning her head, she saw his figure already standing between Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge.

Ye Xi's sudden appearance shocked everyone present.

Because of the appearance of this handsome youth, not a single person on the scene had been able to detect his aura.

Even Cang Yuan was no exception!

Ye Xi cupped his hands to both sides and said ingratiatingly: "Could you two please give this little brother some face and stop fighting!"

Ye Qingge's expression turned grave: "Who are you?"

Yuan Ruoyu also frowned and said: "Are you here to compete for this spot too?"

Ye Xi hesitated for a moment before answering: "You may not have heard my name before..."

Following that, he utilized a secret technique to send separate voice transmissions to Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge.

Then he continued: "My master is the Immortal Great Emperor!"
