Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 217 Ancient Clan Ancestral Hall!

As they approached the Ancient Sacred Mountains, the Pill Tower Ancestor looked towards a certain mountain peak, then turned to Jiahe and said, "It seems Xiao Yan has some connection with that little princess of the Ancient Clan?"

Jiahe chuckled, "Indeed, the two are mutually in love, but the ancient clans aren't entirely accepting of this outcome!"

The patriarch of the Pill Tower nodded slightly and said, "That's understandable. Ancient families generally don't intermarry with outsiders. If Xiao Yan really wants to be with that little girl, he'll probably have to at least demonstrate the strength of a Dou Sheng!"

"Becoming a Dou Sheng is not difficult for Xiao Yan. Some of the elders in the ancient clans are just short-sighted," Jiahe said.

The Pill Tower Ancestor nodded and said, "That's true. Xiao Yan is already at the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Zun at such a young age, and that's without the blessing of Dou Di bloodline. Compared to those so-called geniuses of the ancient clans, he's not much different!"

As they got closer, the subtle presences within the mountains became more pronounced.

In particular, Xun'er's personal greeting of Xiao Yan caused some dissatisfaction among the elders within the ancient clan.

Two elders even prepared to suppress Xiao Yan with their own aura, but unfortunately, these two elders were only at the Dou Zun realm, and Xiao Yan directly pushed them back.

Realizing their rudeness, the ancient people then arranged for numerous forces to enter the Ancient Sacred Mountains.

The night was as still as water, and the bright moonlight gently sprinkled the earth, as if veiling it with a light gauze, making it beautiful and magnificent!

At the summit, Jiahe stood in the void, his gaze looking down upon the land. His aura was like a dragon, and streams of energy from heaven and earth surged into the sky from the mountains.

Clusters of palaces stand one after another in the mountains, like ancient behemoths, exuding a wild and untamed aura.

"As expected of the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range, since you've come, senior, please show yourself!" Jiahe said calmly.

A ripple spread through the void, and then the figure of a middle-aged man appeared.

"Your senses are very sharp. I can feel that your soul power is very strong. You must have already entered the Emperor Realm!" the middle-aged man said to Jiahe.

Jiahe chuckled, "Indeed, senior has a keen eye for people!"

"You should know who I am by now, right?" the middle-aged man chuckled.

Jiahe nodded and said, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Gu Yuan looked at Jia He and said, "I noticed you the moment you entered the Ancient Realm. You are very strong. At least among the Ancient Clan, no one except me can suppress your strength!"

Jiahe smiled and said, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan, you flatter me."

"You're very bold, daring to attack the Soul Palace right under the noses of the Soul Clan. Aren't you afraid the Soul Clan will come after you?" Gu Yuan said slowly.

Gu Yuan then continued, "Although you are very strong, if the Soul Emperor were to attack you, you would not be able to escape, at least not on the entire Dou Qi Continent!"

Jiahe looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Why should I run away?"

"The Soul Clan can't kill me. Even if the Soul Emperor himself comes, he can't kill me. If he can't kill me, he'll have to bear my wrath. At the very least, he'll wipe out the Soul Clan!" Jiahe said calmly.

Jiahe said, "I am different from Xiao Xuan, and I am also different from Clan Chief Gu Yuan. The Soul Clan is my enemy, and they should be the ones who are afraid."

Gu Yuan looked at Jia He and said, "You are very arrogant, even more arrogant than Xiao Xuan was back then!"

"Both the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan should value you!" Gu Yuan said.

Jiahe laughed, "The ancient races should be paying more attention to the Soul Race now. If I'm not mistaken, the Soul Race is already secretly preparing to attack the Spirit Race!"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Jiahe paced back and forth, then looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "Have you ever wondered why the mysterious Soul Clan has been able to continue its Dou Di bloodline after so many years?"

"Back then, there were more than just the eight ancient clans. It's just that the bloodlines of those Dou Di families gradually dried up, and the Xiao family is the best example."

"But the Soul Clan seems to have a longer history than the ancient clans, and their bloodline is also more ancient. Have you thought about this?"

Upon hearing Jiahe's words, Gu Yuan frowned deeply; he had indeed not considered this issue.

The Xiao Clan was killed because their bloodline was depleted. Xiao Xuan tried to fuse with the family's Dou Di bloodline to attack the Dou Di, but failed and was seriously injured. That's why the Soul Clan surrounded and killed him.

Bloodline depletion is an unavoidable problem for Dou Di families, and even the once powerful Xiao Clan and the current Gu Clan have no way to change it.

"The Soul Clan's Dou Di bloodline is indeed ancient, but what problems could there be?" Gu Yuan asked, puzzled.

Jiahe asked, "If the Soul Clan's bloodline is so ancient, is it because they inherited the Dou Di bloodline from other ancient families?"

"What?" Gu Yuan was immediately shocked, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

Realizing what was happening, Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. The Soul Clan is able to plunder the bloodlines of other ancient families' Dou Di because the Soul Clan possesses the Void Devouring Flame. After the Void Devouring Flame devoured the patriarch of the Devouring Spirit Clan, it gained the ability to devour and fuse bloodlines!" Jiahe said.

"The Devouring Spirit Clan?" Gu Yuan's face suddenly twitched, then he took a deep breath and asked, "How did you know?"

"I naturally have my own sources of intelligence, and I'm sure Chief Gu Yuan is quite familiar with the Devouring Spirit Clan!" Jiahe said.

Gu Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I do know about the Devouring Spirit Clan, but it seems premature to draw conclusions!"

Gah shrugged and said, "That has little to do with me. After all, to the Soul Clan, my importance is far less than yours."

"The bloodline of the Dou Di is coveted by the Soul Clan, so they will definitely target your ancient families. If the ancient families only seek self-preservation, then it's not impossible!"

Gu Yuan snorted and said, "You don't need to be so sarcastic. I've witnessed the mystery and power of the Soul Clan. If it weren't for the threat of annihilation, I wouldn't have used the Ancient Clan to conquer the Soul Clan. Even if I used the entire Ancient Clan as a gamble, I wouldn't be confident that I could completely wipe out the Soul Clan!"

"Unless one day the Soul Clan becomes the common enemy of many ancient families, only then can they remain invincible!"

Jiahe nodded and said, "I understand Chief Gu Yuan's concerns, so I have no intention of dragging the Gu Clan into this mess, but I still want to remind Chief Gu Yuan."

"Besides needing to devour bloodline power, the Soul Clan needs the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in your hands even more."

Gu Yuan said, "The ancient jade pieces are all kept in the ancestral hall. It won't be easy for the Soul Clan to take them away!"

"Really? What if the Soul Clan has spies infiltrated among the Ancient Clan?" Jiahe said.

Gu Yuan's gaze towards Jia He suddenly became somewhat uncertain. "This... can't be?"

Jiahe curled his lip and said, "The Soul Clan has a long history and has been planning for many years, why wouldn't they know how?"

"We should go visit the ancestral hall. Why don't you come with me?" Gu Yuan invited Jia He.

Gah nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Jiahe followed Gu Yuan as they flew deeper into the Ancient Sacred Mountains.

The ancestral hall of the ancient tribe was of paramount importance to them, and it was the most heavily fortified place in their territory.

Soon, Jiahe saw a huge ancient palace deep in the mountains. Several extremely powerful auras were lurking inside the palace, filling the entire palace with an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

Gu Yuan, accompanied by Jia He, did not conceal their presence. As their auras spread, several figures suddenly appeared in front of the ancient hall!

The leader had a figure as imposing as a mountain, wearing heavy armor that exuded power!
