Chapter 484: Xun'er Emerges from Seclusion

In the core area of the Ancient Realm, the Ancient Sacred Mountains sprawled majestically. Nestled among these mountains were numerous palaces, with an abundance of heaven and earth energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation.

On one of the peaks, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, transforming into a dazzling golden pillar of light. A stunning figure emerged from the fiery light, with golden flames burning fiercely in her eyes.

Xun'er sighed with a hint of regret, "It's a pity I couldn't truly step into the Dou Saint realm." She had reached the advanced Half-Saint level and, with continued seclusion, she was confident she could break through to Dou Saint. However, with the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony approaching, she needed to attend to ensure her brother Xiao Ze received some benefits, such as a chance to enter the Heavenly Tomb!

The golden flames in Xun'er's eyes gradually subsided as she looked towards another peak. With a light step, her figure flickered and she appeared on another mountain, bowing respectfully. "Father."

"Excess can lead to failure. Your current strength already makes you the foremost among the Ancient Clan's younger generation. Though you still fall short of that boy from the Xiao Clan, you should be proud," Gu Yuan said, standing with one hand behind his back, holding a jade slip containing information about Xiao Ze.

"It's just a shame that I couldn't use the power of that ninth-tier treasure pill to break into the One-Star Dou Saint realm," Xun'er replied. She was astute enough to infer from Gu Yuan's words that Xiao Ze had already reached the One-Star Dou Saint level.

"The Saint Heart Glazed Pill, while a ninth-tier treasure pill, is primarily meant to enhance your potential. Using the remaining power to break into the One-Star Dou Saint realm was insufficient," Gu Yuan reassured her. "By the way, after many years, a member of the Xiao Clan has returned to the Ancient Realm. With the opening of the Heavenly Tomb, he should be granted a spot to enter."

Xun'er's face lit up with joy. While she could leverage her influence at the elder council to secure a spot for Xiao Ze, having her father's support meant no elder would dare object. "Thank you, Father."

Gu Yuan smiled and shook his head, teasing, "Ah, daughters grow up and leave their fathers behind." He handed Xun'er the jade slip detailing Xiao Ze's recent activities. "Take a look. This is his latest information."

Xun'er nodded, taking the jade slip. Although she could use the golden tree Xiao Ze had left to contact him at any time, she refrained from constantly inquiring about his situation. The jade slip from her father provided a timely update on Xiao Ze. "Prepare well for the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony," Gu Yuan instructed before his figure gradually disappeared.

Xun'er bowed towards her father's departing figure before examining the jade slip. As information flowed into her mind, her face showed surprise. "Brother Xiao Ze's progress is still so terrifying."

In the Ancient Sacred City, Xiao Ze sensed the surrounding environment. Aside from the owner of that intense gaze from the Yan Clan, he had yet to see representatives from the other ancient clans. According to the original story, the Spirit Clan had likely met with misfortune by this time, as they wouldn't miss such a significant opportunity like the opening of the Heavenly Tomb. The other ancient clans were likely elsewhere in the manor.

Xiao Ze was not overly concerned. He was confident of gaining entry into the Heavenly Tomb and would interact with members of the other ancient clans there. Over time, however, Xiao Ze felt a bit exasperated as he noticed the intense gaze becoming more frequent. Perhaps the owner had not detected any sign of him possessing a Heavenly Flame.

Xiao Ze possessed a variety of powers that did not interfere with each other, thanks to the branches of the Origin Tree that organized them. When using a specific power, it was entirely pure unless he intentionally mixed it. This was unlike Xiao Yan, whose Dou Qi and soul bore the characteristics of the Heavenly Flame he refined. Thus, unless Xiao Ze used a particular ability, no one could detect it.

On the other side, Huo Zhi from the Yan Clan frowned slightly. "Strange, isn't there a rumor that he possesses an extremely terrifying Heavenly Flame? Why can't I see any sign of it?"

A white-robed man next to her smiled. "Huo Zhi, you should give up. With his current strength, he can hide it from your senses."

"But I should still be able to sense something. I have a Heavenly Flame myself," Huo Zhi said, puzzled. Seeing her confusion, the others didn't dwell on the topic further. Unlike Huo Zhi, they didn't share her intense curiosity about the Heavenly Flames.

In the following days, Xiao Ze, along with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, explored some of the public areas of the Ancient Sacred City, driven by curiosity about a city built by a Dou Emperor. However, before they could explore the entire city, they received word from the Ancient Clan that the Ancient Realm was about to open.

In the core area of the Ancient Sacred City, there was a vast, clear lake, its depths invisible, adding to its mysterious allure. The lake was surrounded by many figures eager to enter the legendary Ancient Realm. Standing by the lake were several figures in black armor, their imposing presence deterring anyone from approaching the water.

An elderly man in a light yellow robe appeared before the Hei Yan Army, exuding a powerful aura that made the crowd's faces change. "A Dou Saint!?" many thought, surprised by the Ancient Clan's show of strength. Even the other ancient clans were puzzled, having attended previous ceremonies without a Dou Saint making an appearance.

The elderly man, looking subtly at Xiao Ze, thought, "If it weren't for the presence of a true Dou Saint among the invited guests, the Ancient Clan wouldn't have sent out a Dou Saint themselves."
