Tan Tianzhong did not know what exactly the Ancestor Realm felt like. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But he was very certain that it was an entirely new realm.

All the meridians in his body were completely revitalized, and his Qi Sea expanded tenfold.

In the Qi Sea, the burgeoning Primordial Qi all came from accumulated experiences spanning hundreds of thousands of years.

This is the Ancestor.

The Ancestor Realm!

Tan Tianzhong was greatly exhilarated, astounded by this brand-new realm.

This...

is the feeling of being an Ancestor. The Ancestor Realm, with Heaven and Earth's Lifespan.

The sensation akin to a vast ocean made him immerse within, as if a fish swimming freely, unrestrained.

A wondrous feeling permeated his entire body.

Soon after.

Tan Tianzhong felt the transformation of his meridians and bones.

The meridians were becoming vibrant, rejuvenating new life.

His originally white hair gradually turned black one strand after another.

Life continued.

The greatest threat to his lifespan disappeared at that instant.

At the same time. Tan Tianzhong sensed a new threat. That was the threat of the Chinese Dragon Vein.

Ancestor Realm, in harmony with Heaven and Earth's Lifespan.

However...

At the moment Tan Tianzhong broke through his cultivation, he felt a special aura coming from the earth.

This was the aura emanating from the Dragon Vein.

"Could this be the aura of the Dragon Vein that Emperor Yu mentioned?"

The aura of the Dragon Vein was very faint.

So faint that it was almost impossible to detect.

Unless one reached the Ancestor Realm, it would be completely unnoticeable.

Tan Tianzhong widened his eyes, realizing that behind the prosperous Cultivation Era lay a tremendous crisis.

Everything Fang Yu had spoken about was imprinted in his mind.

A sudden realization dawned upon him, and everything became clear.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside, Bai Yandong and Yuan Xiao had been waiting for a long time, growing a bit anxious.

Though it had only been an hour, it felt like an eternity.

Just as the two couldn't figure out what was happening.

A commanding voice echoed.

From the heavens, it seemed.

Bai Yandong and Yuan Xiao simultaneously looked up at the sky above their mentor's room.

It was like a figure of a specter that flickered and vanished.

"Your teacher has broken through! Prepare a grand feast, I must personally thank Emperor Yu."

This was a command.

Bai Yandong and Yuan Xiao were overjoyed, kneeling on the ground, saying:

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"

Bai Yandong added: "I'll get right on it..."

He was about to turn and leave.

Then the door opened.

Fang Yu emerged calmly, hands behind his back,

Gazing indifferently.

His eyes fell on Bai Yandong, and he said: "No need."

The phantom in the sky quickly vanished, returning to its body.

Moments later.

Tan Tianzhong walked out from the hall.

At this time, Tan Tianzhong's mental state had completely renewed, full of vigor.

White hair turned black, deep hollow eyes became clear and lively.

Half of the wrinkles disappeared.

Previously an elderly man, now he appeared as a man in his prime.

Completely transformed.

Bai Yandong and Yuan Xiao were shocked... staring at Tan Tianzhong with disbelief.

Completely unable to associate the Tan Tianzhong before them with the one from the past.

Afraid of mistaking him.

After a moment of daze, Tan Tianzhong smiled and said:

"Just follow Mr. Fang's wishes... However, Mr. Fang has solved such a major issue for me and helped me break through. Even if we can't hold a grand banquet, we should at least have a small gathering to celebrate. Allow me to express my gratitude to Mr. Fang."

Tan Tianzhong's gratitude towards Fang Yu had reached a point beyond words.

Fang Yu nodded and said: "Very well... But after the banquet, I won't linger... I will personally explore Yanjing. You've just broken through and need time to get accustomed and adapt to your new body."

"I will heed Mr. Fang's guidance."

Like an obedient student.

At this moment.

Mo Huajian returned with Zhang Xiaoya.

Mo Huajian looked composed, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Xiaoya came forward, seeing her transformed master, first stunned, then bowed and said: "Master, congratulations on your successful breakthrough."

Tan Tianzhong laughed heartily and said:

"All thanks to Mr. Fang... By the way, have you gained any insights?"

Referring to her time learning with Mo Huajian.

Zhang Xiaoya nodded slightly and said:

"Master, it's my honor that Sister Hua Jian could share her experiences and insights with me. I did not understand cultivation before, but today I finally know what cultivation truly is. Sister Hua Jian's help to me is immense, and I will always remember her for it."

Tan Tianzhong nodded slightly and said:

"You surely haven't mixed up your benefactor. The one clearing your doubts is Mr. Fang's disciple. You also need to thank Mr. Fang."

He waved slightly, signaling her to bow.

Zhang Xiaoya deeply bowed towards Fang Yu and said: "Thank you, Emperor Yu, for the clarity..."

This reasoning is sound.

Back then, Mo Huajian suffered greatly in her Heart Realm. If it hadn't been for Fang Yu, who knows how long it would have taken her to emerge from that predicament.

The greatest fear of humans is being lost.

Lost in the path of cultivation, unable to find the way back for a lifetime, how can one talk about progress?

Fang Yu waved his hand, glanced at Mo Huajian, and said:

"Hua Jian, when you came out, what realm was Little Yu in?"

"Teacher, Little Yu's realm is Heavenly Human Immortal."

"Not bad. You've been resting for a while now... Perhaps you should play for a couple of more days before returning to the Nine Layer Tower." Fang Yu said.

"No... My heart seeks the Great Dao; worldly affairs hold no significance for me. The material world, money, are ultimately external things."

"..."

Even nuns wouldn't say such things.

Seeing through things more clearly than others.

Fang Yu said nothing, merely nodded, summoned the Nine Layer Tower, and took her back.

Mo Huajian left.

Zhang Xiaoya sighed and said: "Sister Hua Jian's insights far exceed mine, unfortunately... She is confined to cultivate inside that Divine Artifact. If she could stay out in the world, she would surely be a great mentor and friend."

Tan Tianzhong laughed and said:

"This is the Free Heaven Divine Object; many long to enter but do not have this opportunity. You will understand in the future... you may leave now."

"Yes!"

Later.

The few prepared a simple meal.

After eating and drinking enough.

Fang Yu did not stay overnight but planned to explore Yanjing.

Tan Tianzhong laughed and said: "Let Xiaoya accompany Mr. Fang around... Mr. Fang seldom comes to Yanjing and isn't familiar with the environment here. Xiaoya would be a qualified guide."

Zhang Xiaoya showed signs of anticipation and said: "Emperor Yu..."

Fang Yu interrupted her, saying:

"You should call me Mr. Fang as well... Since you are going to be the guide. Then let's go..."

Zhang Xiaoya was elated.

Didn't expect the mighty Emperor Yu from Tiandu Mountain to not refuse.

The two left Tan Mansion.

As soon as they stepped out of the manor.

Fang Yu spread the Desolate Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Emperor City.

Heaven's Master is the master of masters.

The aura of the Dragon Vein grew stronger.

This signified the resurgence of Spiritual Energy from the Dragon Vein...

Fang Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be due to me absorbing the Dragon Bone that the Demon Cave can no longer suppress the Dragon Vein?"

This is a good thing.

But similarly, the Demon Cave would be more restless because of this, and they couldn't possibly allow the Dragon Vein to recover.

Fang Yu's Divine Sense swept through, sensing there seemed to be the aura of Dragon Bone there, he smiled slightly and said:

"There's a place to the north of Emperor City, just right... lead the way."
