Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 217 Breakthrough to the Void Realm, Protected by the Ancestor!

On a pavilion.

The high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered here, with many elders and Emperor Yuan standing there. Surprisingly, everyone's gaze was unanimous, all looking in the direction of the Seven Nights Palace.

Their faces were filled with shock and joy.

The Fifth Elder laughed and said, "I knew that His Highness Qiye would not disappoint me. He would definitely be able to enter the Void Realm within a year. As expected."

“When I saw Prince Qiye enter the ninth level of the Enlightenment Realm, I knew that it wouldn’t be long before he reached the Void Realm.”

"You didn't believe me then, but now you're convinced, aren't you?"

The Fifth Elder had a broad smile on his face, as if he himself had reached that level.

"Of course I'm convinced. I originally thought it would take Prince Qiye three or four years to reach the Void Realm, which would be incredibly monstrous, but I didn't expect him to achieve it in less than a year."

The Fourth Elder was filled with emotion.

"Since you're convinced, why haven't you shown any remorse?"

"Just give me the bet honestly."

The Fifth Elder didn't care about any of that, because they had made a bet before, and now that Li Qiye had broken through to the Void Realm in less than a year, he had naturally won.

"Here you go, do you think we can't afford to lose?"

Several elders impatiently threw the items to the Fifth Elder.

The Fifth Elder didn't mind at all and happily accepted all of these things.

At the same time, the void cracked open, and several powerful auras spread out.

"The Supreme Elder has arrived."

Upon seeing several elders emerge, all the elders except Li Xuanyuan bowed in respect.

These elders represent the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty and were once its mainstays.

Now that their lifespans are coming to an end, they have sealed themselves away to slow the passage of time and allow them to live a few more years.

They did this so that one day they could see the rise of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that they could lend a helping hand if the Great Zhou Dynasty encountered any difficulties.

It was precisely because of the existence of these Supreme Elders that the Great Zhou Dynasty remained prosperous for so long.

These Supreme Elders typically intervene when the Great Zhou Dynasty is undertaking a major undertaking, relying on their formidable strength to turn the tide of events.

It can be said that the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was inseparable from these Supreme Elders.

These Supreme Elders were the pride of the Great Zhou Dynasty in their youth, protected the Great Zhou Dynasty in their middle age, and continued to guard the Great Zhou Dynasty in their old age. Some of the Supreme Elders have even lived for more than 100,000 years.

"I never expected that our Great Zhou Dynasty could produce such a prodigy. He is the perfect model for a young emperor. I see the shadow of the former emperor in him."

The elders looked towards the direction of the Seven Nights Palace, their faces burning with excitement and their voices filled with joy.

Li Qiye's appearance seemed to give these elderly people, who were in their twilight years, endless vitality.

It stirred a flutter in their usually calm hearts, filling them with anticipation and joy.

"How old is Prince Qiye now?"

The Supreme Elder looked at Emperor Yuan and asked.

"Over twenty years old."

Li Xuanyuan said.

"He's only in his early twenties?"

The elders were stunned, hardly believing their ears.

They never expected that Li Qiye was so young.

"Not bad, only twenty!"

Emperor Yuan smiled and nodded.

If it weren't for spending so much time with Li Qiye, she would have ended up like these elders.

To have such cultivation at this age is truly monstrous. Throughout history, there are probably very few people who have reached the Void Realm by the age of twenty.

"Good, very good. With such a genius, the Great Zhou will surely rise."

"It's fortunate that such a genius appeared in our Great Zhou, otherwise we would be the ones envying others."

The Supreme Elder looked in the direction of the Seven Nights Palace and said with a face full of joy.

It was as if they had seen some extraordinary rare treasure, or perhaps an exceptionally beautiful woman.

It was an instinctive reaction, coming from the heart.

“When our Prince Qiye was young, I realized he was no ordinary person and took him under my wing. Now it seems that my decision was very wise.”

Emperor Yuan laughed.

As Li Qiye's father, she naturally felt proud of Li Qiye's current achievements.

At this moment, he couldn't help but pat himself on the back.

This was entirely in the sense of sharing Li Qiye's glory and disgrace.

Praising Li Qiye was as if it were praising him.

They even praised her for not being that excited.

"Xuan Yuan, you did a great job!"

"Having Li Qiye as a son is the wisest thing we've done in the last 100,000 years."

At this point, the Supreme Elder's expression turned serious, and he continued, "However, you must all be careful and make sure to protect Prince Qiye so that he can grow up safely."

"With such talent as Prince Qiye, he will surely attract jealousy, and various powerful forces will definitely be unable to resist taking action."

"Whether it's the demon race or the human race, it's always the same. The major human forces are often the most ruthless. Many prodigies have died not at the hands of the demon race, but at the hands of us humans."

For major powers, the more extraordinary their prodigies are, the better; but other powers would love for such prodigies to perish.

“I understand. We have already instructed Mo Daoren to protect Princess Qiye’s safety at all times. With her protection, there are few people in this world who can harm Princess Qiye.”

Emperor Yuan said earnestly.

She understood this better than anyone else, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Mo Daoren to protect her.

"The first level of the Saint Realm, not bad at all!"

"But this is still not safe. Let me join in later. Anyway, I don't have much time left. Rather than living a life of mere survival, I'd rather protect her and watch her grow up."

"I hope that one day I can see him step into the Emperor Realm, then I can die without regrets."

One of the elders spoke up.

Everyone was extremely shocked to hear this.

Because this Supreme Elder is one of the most powerful warriors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his cultivation is terrifying, having reached the sixth level of the Saint Realm!
Not only was he one of the strongest people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was also among the strongest in the world.

This Supreme Elder was referred to as the Mysterious Ancestor by the disciples of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"Ancestor Xuan, are you sure you want to do this?"

All the other Supreme Elders looked at this Ancestor and asked.

Xuanzu nodded and said calmly, "Rather than living a meaningless life in this world, it is better to do something meaningful."

“Protecting Prince Qiye and allowing him to grow up safely is a very meaningful thing for me.”

"Moreover, Prince Qiye is exceptionally talented; he would be the most outstanding prodigy in any era."

"If other major powers offered such exorbitant prices, I wouldn't be able to resist taking action against them. Do you think the old monsters of the demon race would be able to remain calm?"

"It's not safe to rely on Mo Daoren alone. Besides, it's not just the demon race; the Tianyi Demon Realm is definitely getting impatient and might already be plotting something."

Such geniuses and prodigies are bound to be envied by the world, which is understandable.

No faction wants such a prodigy to grow up, because he is a powerful being who can suppress them.
